Moonlit Conversation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sokka." Katara rubbed her eyes tiredly as she sat up, staring across the glowing embers of the camp fire at her brother. "Why are you awake?"
"Just thinking." he mumbled, staring up at the glowing silver moon.
His sister pushed out of her sleeping bag, crawling over next to him. "You miss her don't you?"
"Of course I do."
"But you want to forget her." she looked at him expectantly.
"More than anything."
She rested her hand on his shoulder. "Sometimes it's hard. You'll find out what it's like to love someone again. That's when Yue will be in your past, a memory and not a haunting. But you'll still have her in your heart."
"Hey Katara?"
"Yes?"
"Thanks."
She smiled softly. "You should get some rest."
As she slid back over into her sleeping bag, Sokka called out her name again.
"Hm?"
"That's not what I was thinking about."
"What then?" she asked curiously, though sleep was threatening to pull her back down into her blanket.
"Meat. Lots of meat."
With a roll of her eyes and a sigh from her lips, she lay back down and mumbled 'Good night'.

The Secret
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She'd grown used to him. Felt him feel her. Felt him angry, happy and sad. She heard him breathe and talk, laugh and cry.
She knew it was him whenever he first walked up, before he even spoke. She knew it was him whenever she snored lightly in the nigh.
She was Toph and he was Sokka. She was an earth bender and he a water tribe warrior.
Her heart belonged to him, yet his to someone else. His belonged to the moon spirit. His belonged to the Kyoshi Warrior. His belonged to everyone's… but hers.
She tried not to ponder on it much. Tried not to cry. Smiled and punched him in the arm when she was happy. Laughed at his spontaneous jokes, (even if they weren't funny) and attempted to be compassionate when he was sad.
She never once showed her feelings for him. Never once let anything slip, to anyone. Not his sister nor the avatar. The fire bender or his uncle. It was all a secret that she was to keep. Her secret.

Bound

He saw her beyond the ice, felt her free him. His heart leapt when he saw her. His mind swirled when she touched him.
Their first kiss was upon a small ship that were carry his friends under water. Their first kiss was short and sweet, wishing it could have lasted for the didn't know if one or the other would return.
She was there to comfort him at all times. There to say it was okay when he didn't succeed in defeating the fire lord on the day of black sun.
She was always there, next to him, or in his heart. She was beautiful in her own way. Sweet and beautiful. Motherly and caring. Strong and wise.
He loved and respected her like he did his culture, which in the end helped him not to destroy the fire lord's life, but merely prevent him from ever harming again.
She was his life and love. And she would stay that way until after he died and still forever in the spirit world.
She was Katara, princess of the southern water tribe and he was Aang, avatar and the last air bender. Together, they were one bound in two bodies. They were each others for all eternity, never to be broken by anyone or anything.

Always

"Zuko." her voice drifted into the room, melodic and soothing. He took in a deep breath, calming himself from his fire bending training moments before.
She was leaning in the door way, only a scroll. "Your mother told me you'd be in here. I have a message from your uncle. Just updates about Ba Sing Sai." she shrugged, her usual dull mood not portraying any emotion.
He wipe the sweat off his forehead, dipping his hand in a bowl of water and splashing his face.
When she turned to go he stopped her, grabbing her arm. Lightly and swiftly he kissed her, then pulled away, taking the scroll. "Thanks."
As she left, he read the message over, then set it down.
He continued his fire bending, it growing stronger and stronger as he forced it off of his balcony, out into midair. His fire bending was no longer powered by rage. But by love. Love for his friends and family. Love for Mai and his mother, uncle and the avatar. Love for Katara, Toph and Sokka.
But mostly Mai. Ms. Gloomy of gloominess. Dull of the dullest. Gray as a blob and dark as night. He loved her with all his heart and always would. For she was meant for him and he for her and that would always be. Always.

A/N: So I thought these first few ones weren't very good, though I believe the next few will be better. The reason why I don't like them, is because I don't like the pairings. I love Tokka, and I wrote one about that, but it wasn't the way I wanted it. So I'm sure I'll another one soon.
As for Maiko, Kataang and Yukka, (Is it Yukka?) I don't really like those. So if you like Zutara, 'more' Tokka, some Ursa and Ozai (what's it called?), and Toko. (definitely Toko I LOVE THEM!) Then read some more chapters!
P.S I will also have more Kataang and others, so don't worry. (I don't like Sukka so I don't think I have any of those, SORRY!)
