Finally, my first Kataang piece. I lay awake at night coming up with new ideas, but I never write any of them down. This is an exception. Hopefully, the first of many exceptions.

To set it up, Katara and Aang had just come clean about their feelings. This is a monologue in Katara's mind directed towards Aang. Obviously, Katara's POV. Enjoy.


As I stand here in this moment, I dwell on the fact that this wasn't supposed to happen.
You see, I was just a teenager, living a life nobody would ever want to.
Even though I was granted the gift of Waterbending, early on, it was more of a curse.
Because of it, my mom had to sacrifice her own life.
My dad had to leave my brother and me to fight this stupid, meaningless war.
I was angry and hurt and did things out of frustration.
But it all changed one day, when my recklessness and lack of control almost destroyed my home.
However, in doing so, I rediscovered the long-lost Avatar, and my life changed forever.
I didn't make much of it when Sokka called you my "boyfriend", but it suddenly hit me.
And it hit me like being crushed by a flying bison.
And I promised myself, something that would always stay true.
I would never subject myself to the emotional agony that would come with it.
And the jealousy the other girls would have.
And the pain I would experience if I lost you.
Like I myself had have failed the entire world, and ruined any chance of peace.
I would never fall in love with the all-powerful Avatar.

But things have changed over the past year.
I've traveled the world, and mastered my bending skills.
Met many new friends along the way.
And you especially, have been the best friend I could have ever asked for.
But as I said, things have changed. A whole lot.
And I find myself indelibly attached to you.
And strangely, extremely attracted to you.
Longing to be closer to you. Much closer.
To be closer to you than anyone else.
Wanting to spend forever with you.
I've finally concluded that I'm totally in love with you.
And I think that I've broken my most important promise to myself.
But, I realize that I didn't really fall in love with the all-powerful Avatar.
I fell in love with the goofy kid, my best friend, Aang, who just happened to hold that position.
And as you lean in to kiss me, I realize.
You feel the exact same way.


So, how did you like it. Please review. No flames or trolls, please!
