Aang was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling, his body still in shock. He had a huge ear to ear grin on his face. 'What just happened' he thought to himself. Butterflies engulfed his whole body. Whatever just happened outside with him and Katara was unbelievable.
Aang let out a content sigh.
Meanwhile, Katara sat on her bed staring at her wall. Her mind was racing again. She fell back onto to her bed and quietly laughed to herself. She's in love with the avatar. And apparently the avatar's pretty fond of her too. Katara couldn't believe it, it was all so surreal. She crawled under her blankets. The butterflies in her stomach wouldn't let her fall asleep right away, but as soon as she did, her dreams were filled with Aang.
The next morning, Katara awoke to the sound of clanging dishes and the sweet smell of oatmeal. She lifted herself out of bed and threw on her blue watertribe dress. She ran a brush through her hair and headed downstairs.
Everyone was already downstairs sitting around the table while Suki served them their bowls. Katara yawned and pulled out the chair next to Toph, and sat down. As soon as she did, the memories from last night flooded into her head. Katara felt heat flood into her face and her heart speed up.
"Hey, uh.. wheres Aang?" She asked shyly.
"Twinkletoes is down at the river practicing' or something." Toph remarked.
Katara backed out of her chair and headed out the door, down to the river.
Aang was standing waist deep in the water, mindlessly bending the water between his hands. He couldn't keep his mind off last night. How beautiful she was, how beautiful they were. It all seemed like a dream to him, he remembered it all too well. Her soft lips, her warm body. The amazing chaos that was unleashed in his brain as their lips touched. 'Ahhhhhhh!' He though to himself. She made him so crazy.
Katara came to the top of he hill. She was looking around for Aang. There. As soon as she saw him standing in the water her stomach flipped. She never even fathomed that she could ever feel this way about someone. Last night was such a clear image in her head. It replayed over and over again. She had to snap herself out of it.
She quietly made her way down the hillside to the river. As soon as she got to the bank, she took off her robes and hung them over a branch. She quietly stepped into the river. She noticed Aang was somewere off in his own world. She smiled to herself, she knew exactly what he was thinking about.
Aang was completely oblivious to his surroundings. He just kept replaying last night in his head. Suddenly, Aang was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of roaring water. He spun around to see a massive wave right in front of him. He had no time to react. He was knocked off his feet. When he resurfaced he saw Katara standing 10 feet away from him smirking. His stomach twisted.
With a blink of an eye, Aang disappeared under the water. Katara stumbled backwards trying to avoid any 'attacks'. She couldn't see him underneath the water, she braced herself for anything.
Just like that she was pulled under the water. She opened her eyes to see Aang a foot away smiling. Katara felt the butterflies in her stomach jump. As soon as they made eye contact, everything around her disappeared. Aang grabbed her hands and pulled them both to the surface for air, never releasing eye contact.
He pulled her closer to him.
"Good morning.." He said with a sly smile on his face.
"Hey.." She replyed. She was going absolutely crazy. She felt the butterflies start to migrate to more then her stomach.
Aang moved the loose hair out of Katara's face. He then put his hands on her hips.
Katara had a huge lump in her throat, it was like his eyes had put her under a spell. She moved her hands to his shoulders. They sat and stared into eachothers eyes. The passion between the two was unbelievable.
This time Katara couldn't hold it in anymore. She pulled her head close to his ear..
"Our little secret.." she whispered.
She then pulled back and connected her lips to Aang's. Thier kiss sent a fire through each others body. Aang was completely stunned, her confidence made him want her even more. He kissed her with so much passion, they both fell into the water. Their bodies were close as they floated underwater. They swirled around under the surface making their kiss more intense. They both shot to the surface for air, but quickly rejoined their lips. Their mouths moved together so magically. Aang pulled her closer. The fireworks were back, and it coursed through the couples bodies. Katara blushed even more when she felt his warm, bare body against hers.
The world around them was nonexistent. They couldn't stop. They wouldn't stop. And things only intensified. Thier bodies worked together like a machine. Aang and Katara's lips were hot with passion. It all felt like an amazing dream.
Then, they both heard their names being called. They separated fast.
"Where have you guys been?" Sokka yelled.
"Uhm, w-well. We were p-practicing waterbending." Aang stuttered back.
"We'll be back in a few minutes." Katara replied calmly.
"Fine.. But you better hurry. Lunch is ready." Sokka said.
Aang and Katara stood there blushing madly. They couldn't really process what just happened.. Again. They stood there trying to catch their breath. Thier hearts were pounding through their chests. They then realized how cold they were from being in the water for so long.
Aang grabbed Katara's hand and started leading her out of the water.
"Lets go dry off." Aang recommended
Katara just followed along beside him. When they got dressed, Aang started to walk back up to the house. Katara grabbed his shoulder.
"Wait." She said quietly.
