Katara's P.O.V.
I paused before Aang's door and could hear noises coming from within the room. A deep, husky voice murmured something that was muffled by the door. Zuko.
Why was he in Aang's room? … Again. Zuko and Aang had been spending a lot of time together lately. I refused to believe that Zuko had changed but Aang trusted him… then again, Aang trusted everyone.
Zuko whispered to Aang once more and Aang giggled. Suddenly, Aang's giggle was cut off and I heard a thump. He gasped. What had that idiot firebender done to Aang?! I knew I shouldn't trust him!
I quickly but quietly opened the door and was surprised at what I saw.
Aang was trapped between a wall and Zuko who had an arm on either side of Aang's head and his chest pressed against Aang's. He whispered something so quietly that I couldn't hear. Aang smiled and placed one arm on Zuko's hip and the other on Zuko's neck, pulling his face down so that sparkling, silver eyes were staring directly into orange. Then Zuko truly surprised me. He leaned in slowly and lightly brushed his lips against Aang's.
"Don't tease," whined Aang, his brilliant eyes half-lidded, and knotted his hands in Zuko's hair. Zuko smirked slightly before leaning in again and capturing Aang's lips.
Although this had happened in about a minute, I felt as though the earth had stopped turning and I had been standing there for hours. Aang and Zuko…? But I thought Aang liked me! What…
Zuko pulled away and Aang leaned his against his chest and smiled with his arms wrapped around Zuko. Zuko placed his head on Aang's and… smiled. He, Zuko the angsty banished fire prince, smiled? Zuko placed one arm around Aang's waist and the other on Aang's neck, pulling him close and hugging him tightly. But it was his face that interested me most. It was hard to read and showed more emotions than I thought possible. Zuko's face showed his true feelings towards Aang; it was possessive, protective, longing, want, trust and… love?
After seeing all this I found I couldn't stay here a minute longer. I left the room without being noticed and walked to my room in a trance-like state. My brain kept replaying the moment over and over. It wasn't until I laid down that I could understand my thoughts and form coherent sentences.
I quickly resolved never to speak of what happened to anyone. Ever.
I replayed the memory again.
Aang and Zuko kissed. Aang had wanted it to happen. Zuko had wanted it to happen. I didn't know what to think. Zuko's expression bothered me the most. I remembered the look on Zuko's face and couldn't find one bad intention shown on it.
I had always just assumed that Aang and I would somehow end up together, like one day he'd kiss me and we'd both just know. But now… Aang had Zuko, Sokka had Suki and I had… no one…
OMGosh! I'm actually happy with this. :) Did anyone notice something about Katara's thoughts on colors? If not just wait until Aang's P.O.V. ;) Please R&R.
