Was watching Avatar and had a lot of time on my hands, and I thought it would be interesting to write out the Kataang Kisses...the main two, at least. I hope i did it ok and that you enjoy it!

DISCLAIMER - the amazing Mike and Bryan own avatar the last airbender.

Read on, my brave warriors!

"What if...what if I don't come back?"

Aang hardly heard Katara's response – he was thinking about what would happen if he didn't. What chances would he miss? If he did die, then he would never get the chance to tell Katara how he felt about her – never get the chance to see if she loved him too.

There was too much at stake here, he decided, and drastic times called for drastic measures. He looked down at the ground for a second, knowing what he could do, but wondering if he had the courage.

Then his mind screamed at him, telling him not to miss his chance, and he knew that little voice was right. If he didn't do it now, he might never do it again.

He looked up at Katara again, his mouth set, determined.

It's now or never.

Aang grasped her shoulder, pushed himself up to her level, closing his eyes automatically as he kissed her, cutting her off, pressing his lips against hers so quickly she had no idea what was happening until it did.

Katara had been ready to comfort and soothe Aang, and she thought she knew exactly what he was feeling.

Scared.

But her words were stopped short by Aang's lips touching hers, and she would have gasped if she could. Katara, who was never phased by anything, definitely did not expect this.

For a second she had no idea what to do, and she blinked, still trying to figure out what was happening. But then her body took over and she relaxed into the kiss, closing her eyes too and kissing Aang back – for a second.

It was definitely not the kind of kiss she'd been dreaming about – not from him exactly, but from the mystery man she knew one day she'd marry. It was unsteady, this kiss, and raw – the product of rushed timing, and a relationship which couldn't be hurried, but had to be. But it was new, and different...and there was something in it. Something that, one day, could turn into one of those kisses that feature in fairytales and love stories.

Aang pulled back and let her go, frowning at her, and she blushed, feeling she should say something but not knowing what to. What could she say?

What could he say? He'd done what he'd wanted to do – Katara couldn't doubt his feelings any longer. He'd shown her what he wanted them to be: together...and that was all he could do. And when she said nothing, he decided enough was enough.

Suddenly, he was gone, and Katara turned, watching him soar away, words bubbling from her heart to her throat; words that she suddenly wished she'd said. Telling him something...anything, so he knew that he meant a lot to her, too, she just wasn't sure how much.

She stood there, her hair blown by the wind, cutting a lonely figure on the sub. He looked back for a second, watching her, until she was distracted by her brother, and the soft look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by one of determination.

They both knew there would be time for discussion later – there were more important things to do.

He looked away, his eyes trained on the Firenation capital, pushing all thoughts of Katara to the back of his mind and focusing on the task ahead.

She jumped back onto Appa, bending a water bubble around his head and steeling her resolve, pushing all thoughts of Aang to the back of her mind.

Feelings could wait.
