He was waking up! I couldn't believe it; Aang was finally waking up from his coma like sleep! I nervously fumbled from my chair next to him and grabbed his hand.
"Aang, Aang its Katara, I'm right here." I said out of breath, from my excitement.
"Katara?" Aang asked squinting and opening and closing his eyes repetitively.
"I'm right here." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Katara, What happened?" He asked groggily.
/…../
Aang was now sitting up, and as I explained to him what happened in Ba Sing Se, he seemed in shock and looked sad.
"And, well that's what happened…" I said, finishing my explanation.
"Wow…I had no idea….Katara, I'm so sorry that you had to see that. I don't know how I will ever make it up to you." He said looking between his hands and me.
"You already did." I commented.
"How so?" he asked, perplexed by my response.
"You woke up and came back to me." I said with a slight smile on my face.
Just then Momo flew into the room and leaped at Aang. Aang then laughed and gave his signature goofy grin then looked at me still grinning. I had a look of awe on my face as he glanced at me and as he saw it, he stopped and his grin dropped. I had missed that smile so much, and I just caused it to disappear.
"Do that again! Now!" I commanded.
"Do what?" Aang asked, hopelessly confused.
"Smile at me." I said
Aang chuckled a little and gave me the largest and cheesiest grin I had ever seen. The next thing I knew, I jumped towards him and hugged him tightly. When I ended the hug, I kissed him on the cheek.
"I missed your smile."
