It was a beautiful afternoon in the Fire Nation. I was in Zuko's palace, waiting for Aang to come out of a meeting. Ever since I found him in the iceberg, I had found an attachment to him. Now, we were boyfriend and girlfriend. As I came out of my thoughts, the meeting ended and he came up to me. "Hey Katara."
"Hey Aang, how was the meeting?" I asked.
"The same as always, boring. I'd be better if you were there," he told me.
I kissed him and looked up in time to see him blush. I thought he had stopped that. We were together, so what's the point? I giggled. "Well, I'd come if you would like," I suggested.
"No, that's ok. You wouldn't like them," he said.
"You sure?"
"Ya, I can handle it. So, what's for dinner?" he asked me, forgetting that I don't cook while we are in the palace.
"I don't know. The servants cook," I told him.
"Right. What do you want to do until dinner?"
"Well, I have a question for you. Come up to our room."
He followed me upstairs and sat on our bed. "Why do you still blush when I'm near you?"
He scratched the back of his head.
"Oh, that. I don't know, I just...do. What, you want me to stop?"
I giggled and kissed his cheek. "No, I think it's cute. I just wanted to know why. I don't blush, so I guess I didn't know," I told him.
He blushed again, his face growing redder and redder by the second. I smiled and sat down with him. "So, would I be able to make you blush?" he wondered aloud.
"Try me."
He kissed me, tracing his lips down my jaw and neck. He shook his head. "Harder than it seems," he mumbled.
Just then, a servant came in. "Dinner," she said and bowed.
We got up and went back downstairs, finding Sokka, Suki, Toph, and Zuko already seated. We ate, almost in silence. "So, how was the meeting?" Suki asked Aang.
"Fine," he replied.
Under the table, he laced his fingers into mine. I knew he was trying to get me to blush, but it wouldn't work. I guess he had noticed because next thing I knew, he rested his hand on my thigh, lightly tickling me and drawing closer and closer to my waist. I grabbed his hand and I felt my cheeks grow hot. He whispered into my ear, "I made you blush."
