First, I'd like to say that I'm extremely pleased that I got this done so soon. However, I don't think it's one of my better works...
Anyways, I got the idea for this one because we recently went on a car trip to Cove Palisades. This basically meant that dad was bound to play old country or classical songs, and he delivered. I heard this song, and I thought it fit rather well, so it was my starting point.
Inspired by: Avatar (dur)
And: The song "Kiss an Angel Good Morning" (if you like old fashioned country, fiddles and all, go listen to it)
And: Probably the fact that both my parents are hopeless romantics...I know, ur probably thinking o.O;;; Well, I think that despite its embarrassing moments, it's a nice reassurance that they'll stay together... My dad especially is like Aang, who I've noticed doesn't flirt much, except in 302. He woos and courts a gal, which is (to me) a much cuter and better way of showing affection to get a girl.
Disclaimer; I don't own Avatar or the song "Kiss an Angel Good Morning"
Morning
You've got to
Kiss an angel good morning,
And let her know you'll think about her when you're gone.
Kiss an angel good morning,
And love her like the devil when you get back home!
Of the two of them, Aang was always the first to rise in the morning. Daylight had just barely peeked through the crack of their window, and he was up. The airbender was yawning and stretching on the bedside--his daily routine to wake himself up--shaking his drowsiness away.
Turning around, the Avatar glanced down at the slumbering figure of his wife. She was curled up in the sheets, looking for all the world like a little kitten. Her face was set in a frown, realizing the sudden loss of his presence. Smiling, he reached over to tuck her safely in the blankets as she snuggled down into their warmth. Leaning down to her face, he brushed aside her long dark locks before gently placing a kiss on her forehead. Scooting away, he noticed she was no longer frowning.
Tiptoeing out of the room, he carefully opened the door as he head for downstairs, leaving the doorway a crack open.
Half an hour later Katara woke up to a wonderful smell leaking into the bedroom. Rising out of the soft white sheets as though in a trance, she wandered out the door. Bare feet guiding her down the steps, her nose directed the waterbender towards the kitchen, where lovely smells were wafting through.
Pushing open the door, her eyes were greeted by a tray carrying a delicious array of food. Eggs with a mixture of vegetables and spice in a bowl of rice, buttered toast, chopped fruit topped with a dollop of cream, and her usual cup of steaming hot tea. To complete the effect, it was being carried by the Avatar himself, who was looking very flustered at the moment.
"Something smells good." she ventured, staring up into those soft grey eyes she adored.
The Avatar stuttered. "I...I wanted to...you..." He sighed. "You were supposed to be in bed." he trailed off lamely.
"Oh..." she said, taken aback. "Well, let's fix that, shall we?" And without another word she scurried up the stairs and flung herself onto the bed, covering up with the blankets.
Moments later Aang came into the room, still holding the breakfast tray. Setting it down lightly on the bedside table, he crawled up onto the bed and kissed his wife on the lips.
"Good morning, beautiful." he whispered, and she opened those gorgeous blue eyes.
"Good morning, handsome." she replied, smiling.
"Breakfast!" he cried aloud happily, producing the tray from behind him and setting it down on her lap. Picking up the chopsticks, Katara settled against the headboard and tried the eggs. They tasted perhaps even better than they smelled, and she did not hesitate to take a few more bites, until she noticed Aang watching her eat.
Smirking slightly at his puppy-dog face, she closed her lips and instead fed Aang a mouthful of his own food. Smacking his lips thoughtfully, he made mental notes about their quality before grinning at her.
Setting down the chopsticks, Katara picked up her cup of tea and took a sip before popping the question. "So what did you do this time?" she asked. Wide-eyed at her accusation, the airbender nearly choked.
"What are you talking about?" he said evasively, a slight catch in his voice.
Taking another sip, she stared at him pensively over the rim of her cup. "Please, Aang, I know you better than that. You always try to soften me up before telling me the bad news." The corners of her mouth curved upwards slightly behind her cup as she watched his reaction.
Sighing in defeat, he delivered. "The Earth King found out we were staying here. He sent me a letter last night, saying he'd need me at the palace today."
Katara rolled her eyes at the news. The Earth King had returned to power a year ago after being discovered in the Southern Earth Kingdom, and now sat rather unstably on the throne after the fall of Ba Sing Se. Now he constantly mailed the Avatar, seeking his advice on political matters; often ones that left Aang no better off than the King.
Nodding slowly, she set down her tea, and Aang took the chance to feed her some fruit, which she accepted. Upon swallowing, she asked, "So where does that leave me?"
"Well..." Aang said, before taking a bite out of her toast. "I was thinking you could meet up with Toph like we planned, and maybe go to the market. You never know, we might need more food." Grinning slyly, he stole another opportunity to feed her some eggs. She smiled.
"And when you get back?" She questioned, licking her lips.
Leaning over the tray, he grinned. "Well, this is for the morning," He kissed her forehead. "This is for the afternoon," He kissed her nose.
"And this..." he whispered as he kissed her lips. "Is for when I get back home."
Like it? Hate it? Please comment!
...I had trouble on deciding what Aang would cook. I mean, I thought about what food would wake me up in the morning, and instantly thought of bacon. And I'm like Nooo, that won't work! Aang's vegetarian! So I thought about the second thing, and came up with coffee, which proved no better than bacon, cuz they drink TEA! Sooooo I came up with all that other food...That being said, I think it's real sweet when couples make food for each other.(even sexy, depending on the taste...I know, you're probably thinking o.O;;;) ...I was rather hungry while writing this... XDDD
