Kataang Week
One True Love
Day 1: Umbrella
It's raining.
"Let's go for a walk." He says, with that charming boyish grin of his.
She agrees.
Before she can walk out, hand in hand with him, he stops, tells her to wait, and rushes into his room. She waits there, curious, longing for her palm to feel his warmth again. Only a few seconds, and she misses him already. She wonders why, even though he doesn't take long, and immediately zooms back to her on an air scooter.
Katara is so glad her boyfriend is an Airbender.
"What did you do? Comb your hair?" She teases lightly, taking his hand again as he descends from his mode of transport. He has let his dark hair grow, the reason being 'You said you liked it'. So simple, so sweet.
Another reason why she loved him so.
"I went back to take this." He takes out something behind his back. She recognises it instantly. That orange umbrella. The one Aang held above their heads for a few seconds, the one that made her obsessed with the fortune-teller, the woman who made her realise that he might have been the one for her.
And he is. She knows that now.
"I...we could just waterbend the rain." She says. She's touched however, that he has kept it all this while.
His mouth puckers into a pout. "We both stood under this umbrella before, remember? And anyway..." He trails off, giving her a mischievous wink. "We can cuddle under it."
She laughs. It's true. "Silly."
His face falls a little at her reply and she gives him a small smile before sidling up to his side. "Are we going, then? General Iroh's waiting for us with tea."
The Avatar grins broadly and puts his arm around her shoulders and they step out into the rain. It's heavy, it's pouring, it's cold, but it doesn't matter.
Because they have each other, and their umbrella.
A/N: A short oneshot, but I love this so! Smoke and Mirrors tomorrow!
