A teaser for a upcoming story
It all started out as a joke.
"Aang? Did you really just take lint out of his hair?" Sokka snarked over his drink "Katara you'd better watch these two, Zuko might be out to take your husband."
Katara reached to take the glass from her brother "Okay, you've had enough.", but Sokka pulled the glass closer to himself.
"Please." Suki giggled "Like Katara would let that happen."
"Yeah, she'd join in first." Toph added before she, and the two warriors collapse onto each other laughing.
Then it became a curiosity.
"What if…what if I told you I cared about you." Zuko said shyly as the three of them shared dinner in his suite after a long day of meetings.
"We know that." Aang said happily as picked some noodles up onto his chopsticks. He raised them up to his friend and smiled "We love you too buddy." then ate them.
Katara, however, had started looking at Zuko as if she were studying him, and he could feel it "That's…it's no what I meant." he stuttered on, wanting to get his thoughts out, but finding it too hard to say out loud.
Katara reached over and placed her hand on Aang's leg to get his attention "We know what you mean."
Aang swallowed hard and looked at Katara "Is he saying…" she nodded at him.
"The two of you have talked about this?"
They both nodded their heads.
Finally it became a reality.
"Are we really doing this?" the Fire Lord asked as he sat his headpiece on the dresser.
Aang stepped toward him "If you don't want to, we don't have to. We can leave if you want."
"No." Zuko said more insistently than he meant to. He calmed his tone and took a step forward "No." he looked down at Aang's hand as he took it into his, then he looked into the avatar's eyes "I want you here," he felt Katara come to his other side and he turned to her and took her hand "both of you."
