AN: This is a songfic about Katara and Aang's relationship inspired by Halo by Beyonce. It's seen in Katara's eyes and each stanza has a different story if you couldn't figure that out. I own neither the song nor the characters
An Avatar's Halo
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
and they didn't even put up a fight
they didn't even make a sound
I was always scared. Scared of committing or loving anyone because it seemed everyone I loved left.
First mother, then father. Sokku was always there but I was still terrified. Part of my confusion for my feelings for Aang was because I was scared to commit.
I was afraid that once I told him I loved him like that he would be lost forever. In a way I thought I was protecting him, by I was wrong. So wrong, I thought I was protecting him from some curse that Gran Gran and Sokku were dodging, but really I had put barriers around my heart so I wouldn't love someone new just to get hurt again.
Sure I loved him like a friend or a family member, but for some reason I was terrified to love him in a romantic way. In the way that my heart wanted. But now those barriers are crumbling down.
