A/N:(I have found out what A/N is and what it means. So yeah. Anyways, I had this rated teen for now mainly because of this chapter. So um… Anyways. If you read Chapter 1, Thanks! This is after "The Puppetmaster")


Chapter 2:Lies and Secrets Formed

Aang had just finished training again. Toph left, walking toward town. She told Katara something and then she tagged along, probably to go buy food. Momo followed out of sheer boredom. Sokka made sure that they were gone and to see if Appa was asleep. He ran up to Aang when all was clear.

"Aang? Had fun?" asked Sokka smiling.

"Did you have fun training with your master?" said Aang sarcastically.

"I got to draw a rainbow!" smiled Sokka.

"Ah, whatever." Aang sat down with a plop. Sokka walked up and sat behind him. He hugged him from behind and pulled him close.

"I wanted to do this forever," proclaimed sweetly Sokka.

"How Long?" asked Aang, leaning into Sokka's arm.

"Hmm… I guess after we traveled to the Fire Nation town where we met 'The Deserter'."

"Man, that was a while ago. What about Princess Yue and Suki?"

"I guess I was lying to myself," Sokka tightened his hold. Aang turned around to face his secret boyfriend.

"We all do. Atleast you're not anymore." Aang hugged back. They sat there in each other's arms for several minutes before kissing and getting back to what they usually do. Nothing. An hour later, the girls returned. They were carrying what was a ribbon and hay. Toph also got new shoes; she wore out her old ones already. They walked past tem and went to feed Appa. Aang trotted to Sokka.

"Should we tell them?" asked Sokka.

"No. I think it's for the better," answered Aang.

"Are you wishing Katara loves you still?" Sokka squinted at Aang's eyes.

"No, I'm not," lied Aang. He made sure not to so much as blink.

Sokka looked at him suspiciously but shook it off and gave him a quick kiss. Aang left to see what the girls were doing. He came across them while Katara was looking in the air.

"Ah, darn it, Mom got away," Katara sighed. She turned around not looking and started to walk forward.

"Watch out for Twinkle Toes," said Toph.

Katara stopped right before running into him. She walked a bit back so she could get some room. Suddenly an idea hit her and she stood there for a second. She smiled as her eyes lit up. "Hey Aang, mind getting Momo? He's flying up in the sky and I want him," asked character making fake Puppy Dog eyes.

"Okay." He couldn't say no so he used his airbending to jump up to where Momo was. He grabbed the Lemur, who was surprised form the attack, and fell back down. She snatched Momo and froze him so he wouldn't get away. "What are you doing?"

"Giving him a cute bow!" She grabbed the ribbon and tied it tightly affixed it to Momo's head. She unfroze Momo and dried him off. Momo quickly ran away and started to scratch at the bow. "Isn't he cute?"

"Um…" Aang was quite speechless. He wanted to help Momo but he didn't want to hurt Katara's feelings. So he took Momo and went to Sokka. Aang asked Sokka if he would cut off the ribbon. He said yes and grabbed his sword and cut it off. After he did, Momo jumped and laid down on Sokka's head. He fell asleep.

"Ha! He says thank you," giggled Aang.

"Wow. He needs to give better 'your welcome's!" laughed Sokka. Aang joined in the laughter.

Katara ran up and saw the two laughing. She smiled. "I guess they've recently became closer," appeared Toph. She was eating an apple. "So, whatcha doin'?"

"Oh, nothing. Aang seems to be in a happier mood lately. Sokka's well, Sokka's still the same grouch." Katara smiled bigger.

"I wonder where Hawky is." Toph was worried.

"It's okay. I'm sure they're just happy you replied after so long." Katara wasn't very worried. Toph's family is high in status and rank after all.

"I'm not worried about that. I'm worried for all the people we've met. The couple who had the baby, Hope. The Earth King and his bear, Boscoe. Jet and his gang. Your father, the children we had the dance party with, that town where you lied to us all-"

"For the good of the people there," defended Katara.

"Yeah, whatever, and most of all, Iroh. I hope he's okay."

"I still wonder about Zuko…" Katara said sadly, "maybe he'll turn around."

Aang and Sokka had finished laughing and came up to talk.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Aang.

"The people we've met," answered Toph.

"Oh, I wonder how my master's doing," said Sokka.

"What about that town? The one that has 'Avatar Day?" wondered Aang.

"Oh, that town sucked. Un fried dough is not very tasty." Katara made gagging gestures and noises.

"What? Un fried Dough?" Toph's curiosity was struck.

"Oh yeah, you weren't with us in the beginning," remarked Sokka.

"Well, duh," said Toph.

"Well, it all started when me and Sokka were fishing..." Katara went on to tell it all right up to when they all finally met. It was nighttime when they finished. They decided to go to sleep.

This time, Aang slept closer to Sokka.

(BREAK)

Aang woke up with Sokka's finger in his mouth. He ignored the temptation to start sucking on the finger. Instead he just spit it out. He got up and looked around. Momo and Appa were still asleep. Katara and Toph were no where to be seen. They must've gone to bathe, concluded Aang.

So, to cool down the temptation, Aang laid down next to Sokka. He brought his arms around Sokka's waist and embedded his head into the older one's chest.

"Well, well, a good morning to you too, beautiful." Sokka grinned and hugged back. Aang kept still. "And why are we hugging so early?"

"I... I just wanted to so badly right now." Aang was growing fearful of what was to come next.

"Well, then..." Sokka drifted off and grabbed Aang. He followed with giving Aang a powerful kiss. Aang was then surprised by feeling a thing unknown to his mouth. He decided the other tongue with his own. Aang moaned softly.

"Heh," came muffled from the other side. Aang felt Sokka's mouth moves slightly. Probably in a makeshift smile. Just as suddenly, he felt the ruffles of his shirt as cold hands touched his white skin underneath. He arched toward the hands and felt them exploring his muscles. This caused Aang to moan louder and longer. He then felt one of the hands go lower. He grabbed it and broke the kiss.

"Please, not yet," requested Aang, flustered from the kiss. "Toph or Katara might appear suddenly anyways."

"Okay, I respect your wishes," pouted Sokka. Even if he wanted to continue, he wasn't going to lose someone else. Especially when it's his own fault.

"So, what now?"

"I'm going back to sleep." Sokka rolled over and immediately fell asleep. Aang looked at him weird before getting up. He patted down his clothed. He went out looking for atleast Katara. Aang started toward the nearby river. Halfway, he came across Katara waterbending water from her hair. She was wearing a towel.

"Oh, um Aang." Katara blushed.

"Yes," said Aang hopefully.

"Go away so I can get dress."

"Oh, okay," Aang gloomed. He started to leave.

"Wait, Aang!"

"Yeah?" Aang turned when Katara suddenly kissed him. Aang was caught by surprise and fell down, blushing.

"I actually like you." Katara said, holding her towel up.

"Um, well, you see. Sokka-"

"We don't have to let Sokka know," interrupted Katara.

"Um..."

"Don't speak. I need to change anyways." Aang left dumbfounded after Katara disappeared into a secluded area shrouded in fog. After about six steps, he jumped 500 feet in the air and yelled at the top of his lungs. He landed lightly with a hug grin. Sokka came running up, sleepy-eyed.

"What's going on? You woke me up," asked Sokka rubbing his eyes.

"Um, I just stepped on a really, really sharp rock."

"I get up for this?" grumbled Sokka. He stomped back to the base complaining and saying he might as well eat Breakfast seeing as he's up. Aang felt guilt but didn't know why. That night Aang didn't sleep next to Sokka.

"It's cold tonight," thought Sokka.


A/N:(Thanks for reading Chapter 2! I'm sorry if you didn't like the reminiscing part. By the way, I hate Kataang. I' sorry again if you disliked any parts. And sorry if you were... something from the 'little' kiss part)
