Author's note

Hello, everyone this is a continuation from my previous story (true love true confession). I decided to change that chapter into the prologue for this story as I realized that I dwelled too much into their feeling and stuff. This story would definitely contain more action. I would like to apologise for any inconvenience a caused.

I do not own the Avatar series.

Previously

Aang and Katara both have a huge crush on one another but are too afraid to confess in fear they might lose their friendship. Aang is currently 16 while Katara is 17.5. Aang though considered to be hottest guy in town his humble nature makes it impossible to express his feelings for Katara. Aang decides to ask Sokka for advice about this issue. As usual Sokka comes up with a whacky solution; making Katara jealous about Aang in an attempt to make her confess. Will his plan work out?

"Sokka, are you sure about this?" Aang asked as a questionable look hung over his face.

Sokka beamed and bragged about his ingenious plan. "Aang just chill. When have I ever let you down? ("Only always" Aang thought to himself"). You remember everything I told you right. Now go get her!" though Sokka felt awkward trying to hook up his sister with someone else, he was more eager to see how his plans went.

Aang, who was still hesitant on the idea, "but…"

"Aang just shut up and go out there" Sokka ended with a jab that made him stumble into the balcony whereby Katara was standing alone. With that, Sokka slowly hid behind the door behind the balcony standing deathly still and busting his eardrums trying to pick up on the slightest strains of romantic banter.

Katara who noticed Aang stumble into the balcony looked over at him and asked in a maternal tone, "Aang are you okay what happened?"

"Yeah I am fine. Just did not notice the step." Aang trying to sound as convincing as possible. Katara nodded and waited for him to speak.

"Err… Katara…there is something I need to tell you" Aang said trying to avoid eye contact to prevent himself from blushing.

"Well I need to tell you something as well, but never mind what is it that you wanted to tell me" Katara turning her head slowly towards him. Katara looked at Aang's feet movement and sensed the awkwardness that was brewing between them.

Aang who was surprised by what Katara said did not know what to say but glance at Sokka for suggestions. Sokka gave Aang a death glare and coarsely whispered and gestured, "Stick to the plan Aang, stick to the plan!"

Aang jerked back to reality, looked at Katara's eyes, and thought about how he was going to blatantly lie right in front of her, "Katara …I … am kind of in …love."

Katara kept an inscrutable face although inside her every single cell of hers was hoping that Aang would say that the girl in his heart was she. She tried to look as calm as possible but her blue eyes were glistening in joy that it almost betrayed her.

Aang who was too focused in remembering his next verse did not sense Katara's excitement and continued to recite the planned script, "Do you remember On Jie, my classmate when I went to school at the fire nation for a few days? I saw her last week and fell in love with her instantly." Aang could not believe what he said

Katara's excitement instantly turned to a deep cringing pain. Katara turned around swiftly with her back facing his back. Katara could not control the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and tried to sound as bold as possible, "why are you telling me this Aang?" Katara asked holding back her sobs.

Aang, who was still oblivious to the emotions that engulfed her, was dumbstruck by the question but made up an answer on the spot, "Katara you are my best friend. So I… wondered if you could help me write a love letter for her by tonight. I am technically not the best person to write romantic letters" this tore through her heart.

Katara could not believe what she just heard and thought to herself, "Is that all he thought about me; A good friend? Now he is asking me to write a love letter for another girl. Oh why must god be so merciless!" with a tear trickling down her smooth cheeks.

Aang silently waited for a response still afraid to turn to face her. Katara could no longer control her emotions, she spoke softly with a silent sob at the end, "I will help you Aang!" with that she ran out of the balcony door covering her mouth. Sokka who was sensed her approaching the door hurriedly hid behind the hinge of the door. Katara ran up to her room and locked the door shut.

Aang sensed the wavering and shaken voice of Katara and turned to see Katara running out balcony door sobbing. Aang who realised that he committed a grave mistake, smacked his forehead. Sokka rushed into the balcony shrieking out, "Whoa Aang you are one lucky fellow to have me as your friend. My plan worked. She is definitely in love with you." Sokka jumped in joy. However soon realised that Aang did not share the same excitement. Sokka stopped dancing, placed his arm around his shoulder, and asked, "Aren't you happy?"

Aang glared at him. His expression resembled the time when he was fighting Ozai in the final battle. "How do you expect one to be happy, when clearly the one you love most is hurt? Thanks to your stupid plan now, Katara is hurt. How can you still be happy when your sister is crying Sokka?" Aang bellowed angrily at him with a tiny droplet of tear sliding down his chin.

Meanwhile back in Katara's room Katara collapsed on the floor, dejected, swollen with emotions and realizations of her fate. Tears stained her green satin dress. Thoughts about the time they spent together before the war sped across her mind. From the cave of two lovers to the countless times, they spent alone in the woods camping together. She wept for over 20 minutes reflecting on all the missing opportunities that she had to confess to him. Now her worst fear came true Aang was taken by another girl. After what seemed like an eternity, she stood up, walked to the washroom, and washed up. She splashed cold water over her face. She may be have been the master of healing, but there was no healing force in the world capable of healing the hideous mental scar suffered by her. She took in a deep breath and decided to keep up the promise that she made for Aang and started to write spill her emotions out into the poem at her desk.

Sokka realised what made Aang so mad and tried to calm him down, "Aang don't worry, I will make it up for both of you. Today you bring Katara out saying that you want to introduce the girl and confess your love to her. She would definitely fall for that. After all, when have I ever…."

"Do me a favour Sokka, Don't do me any more favours." With this Aang turned around and walked dejectedly, back to his room.

To be continued…

That is it for now. I hope you guys like the emotional perspective of Kataang. Please let me know what you would like to see in the next chapter and dont forget to review this story.
