Colours and Confessions

YAY FOR FLUFF! Super Fluffy! Like, if you completely shaved Appa, that much fluff! (Of course, nobody would really shave the giant bison- that's just mean..)

DISCLAIMER: ME. NO. OWN. AVATAR. SO. SAD.

Side 1 is currently holed up somewhere in New Mexico, watching Avatar DVDs, and playing Kataangy scenes over and over again. And he cried when he watched Tales of Ba Sing Se. Iroh's tale was so sad. He isn't ashamed to admit it.

Chapter Two (Katara's POV)

Emotions

"Katara? Katara? Wake up! KATARA!" I opened my eyes blearily. Toph stood over my sleeping bag, her arms folded in an impatient sort of way. I couldn't begin to wonder what made her try to get me up so early.

"What?"

"You've gotta get up. Aang's having a nightmare, and I know how you're the only one that can calm him down when stuff like that happens." She gave me a sort of wink, then ran back towards Aang's bag, leaving me momentarily confused by her actions. Never mind, I told myself, and I stumbled groggily to join her. Aang was in his sleeping bag, at his usual position close to the fire, and was fitfully tossing and murmuring in his sleep. I bent over him, as did Toph and Sokka, who looked unable to focus his eyes for tiredness, to hear the better. Aang gave another violent flail, and began to mumble more audibly.

"No, Katara, don't, I don't want you to get hurt….. KATARA!" I bent over him, and gently grabbed one of his flailing hands. He gave another violent twist, and I caught his head with my hand, and began gently to rub his forehead. He yelled something inaudible, and tried again to break free, but I held fast.

"Aang! Calm down! It's okay.." He stopped writhing, and his eyes opened slowly. He looked around drearily, sat up, and seemed to snap back into reality. He started, then his arms flew around my neck, his body shaking horribly.

"I'm sorry," he said. He was crying now. "I j-just had this horrible dream…"

"Don't even think about it," I stammered. He really looked distressed. I felt so bad for the little guy. He was hiccupping dejectedly now.

"I-it was just so horrible. You were hurt by Ozai when we went to battle him… and you were d-dying… I hope I never have a dream like that again…."

God, I felt horrible. That was the second time in a month he had dreamt about me getting hurt. Frankly, I was, in an odd way, sort of touched that he would respond to such dreams in such an intense way, but then reminded myself that anybody would wake up screaming if they dreamt their best friend died.

Best friend. That was what I had become to Aang, and he to me, after all those months. I, somehow, had gotten a feeling when I pulled him from the iceberg that day, and he looked into my eyes, then asked to go penguin sledding, that I would grow to really care for him.

"Don't even talk about it," I repeated. "I'll never let anything happen to you, or let anything happen that would take me from you."

"I wont either." I smiled. He really was sweet. I pulled him to his feet, and gave him a cheery hug. I heard him give a sort of happy sigh as I did so, and saw a crimson blush creeping up his face. I laughed softly to myself. He was so easily embarrassed, yet so open with his thoughts that he often was caught in situations that made him feel nervous. He couldn't seem to help it, expressing his feelings was in his nature. Yet sometimes I felt that he wasn't expressing all of them. He pulled away from me, and, wiping his tearstained face with his sleeve, he went over to the small stream that ran by our camp. I saw him splash his face with cool water, then start to busy himself embarrassedly about the camp, kindling a fire and feeding Momo. I looked over at Toph and Sokka. The first had a sort of happy, dreamy look in her eye, and the latter was already slinking back to his bag for more rest. I sighed. We were all put through so much. Especially Aang. But it was worth it to help him.

Yaaaayyyyy fluff! Some new members to the gang appear next chapter, which is Sokka's POV. Next chapter coming up on the fourth. Rate and review please! GO KATAANG!
