Hidden
(adj.) Kept out of sight; concealed
She wasn't very good at keeping things hidden around the Western Air Temple, which was odd to her since the temple was so expansive. But every time she tried to save something for later, somebody would find it and take it for themselves. She found a beautiful flower one day and left it in her room so that she could admire its beauty. The next day, she found it in Suki's hair, the warrior telling her that Sokka saw it and immediately thought of her. Katara decided not to talk to her probably well meaning but dense brother for the rest of the day.
Honestly, she would think that she'd know better than to take things for herself. But when she was washing clothes in one of the nearby ravines above the temple, she found a piece of parchment. Upon further inspection, she realized that the parchment was a letter. Inside the letter were phrases of compassion and love that could only be found in a love letter. Katara took it with her to the temple when the clothes were clean and hid it somewhere she believed that nobody would look.
She was wrong. Of course it couldn't have been her brother found this item that she concealed. No, it had to be Zuko that discovered the anonymous letter. Damn Zuko.
She was cleaning after everybody else had turned in for the night when she heard paper shifting. Turning around, she watched as the firebender's eyes moved up and down the papers, seeming to read them, before she realized what the papers were: the love letter that she found earlier that day.
She reached out and grabbed the assortment of papers, effectively tearing them out of his hands. "What is it with you people? Do you have no sense of privacy?" She asked rhetorically. He just stood there and didn't make direct eye contact with her.
"Did you write this?" He asked in that deep raspy tone of his that shouldn't have been able to make her knees this weak.
"No." She confessed after a few moments of heavy silence. "I found it while washing the laundry." The waterbender smoothed out the pages and set them on the stone table.
"I guess it's a good thing that I found it and not your brother or Aang. Then you might have a problem." He smirked at her. The waterbender felt her cheeks warming up as he looked at her. The firebender then turned around and walked away from her.
How dare he make her feel this way. With his voice and his gaze and that damn smirk of his. She thought similar ideas as she walked back to her own room for the night. She never could keep things hidden from the others.
