Kataang

Aang wanted to surprise Katara. So he had Sokka take her out shopping for the day. Aang had a romantic picnic set up for two.

When the sun had finally set and Sokka brought Katara back Aang was waiting for her. He could hear Katara and Sokka coming up the stone path.

"Come on Sokka why are you stalling?" Katara said as they trudged up the path to the house.

"Oh no reason," Sokka said as he saw me he smiled before he ran away. Aang could hear him laughing as he ran to the house a little way up the path.

"Aang what are you," Katara paused to look Aang up and down. "What is going on?"

Aang was holding a beautiful pink flower. He brushed the hair away from her face, and tucked the flower behind her ear.

"Aang what is all this for-" Katara started to say when Aang interrupted her with a kiss.

Katara tensed at first, but eventually she eased into it. Aang had tried to pull away from her once, but Katara was enjoying the kiss too much. She held his face against hers not letting hims get away from her kiss.

"You," Aang said as he was finally able to break the kiss.

Aang grabbed her and pulled her towards the beach. After awhile he and Katara began to swing each other down the path. They were laughing and happy. Katara was curious about what had Aang so excited to go to the beach. Katara stopped in place refusing to move any farther.

"What Katara?" Aang asked.

"Aang why are we going to the beach?" Katara asked her blue eyes glowing in the faint light from the crescent moon.

"I would tell you, but that would ruin the surprise," Aang said shooting Katara a sly smile.

"Okay Aang," Katara said, but she still wouldn't move from her spot on the path. She put her hands on her hips.

"Come on Katara I know that you are expecting me to give in this time, but I am not this time I am going to not tell you," Aang said before her gazed directly into her blue eyes.

"Really?" Katara asked. She had never seen Aang stand his ground against her especially.

"Yes Katara, and if you really don't want to walk with me to the beach, then I get it I will go away." Aang gave her one last look before he walked away. He went straight toward the pinic that he had spent hours setting up today. He just hoped that Katara would follow him.

Katara smiled as she realized that Aang had finally began to grow a backbone. She thought about calling for him, but thought against it she just followed him to the beach.

When Katara saw the picnic laid out on the beach she almost began to cry. Aang was standing on the other side of the blanket with his back facing her. She could see his form outlined in the moonlight.

Katara took a few steps forward before she ran at Aang she tackled him to the ground.

"Aang," Katara whispered. She was on top of Aang in the sand. Katara kissed his lips lightly.

"What?" Aang asked trying not to laugh.

"You did all this for me?" Katara asked.

Aang nodded. "Today is the day you became my girlfriend two years ago. I have never been happier in my life Katara," Aang didn't struggle to say that he said it strongly and Katara knew he meant them. "You have made me the happiest airbender in existence."

Katara leaned into him. "You put a lot of thought into this didn't you?" She breathed easy as she listened to the strong steady beat of Aang's heart.

"Yes I even had Sokka in on it. He was supposed to keep you busy today so that I could set this up," Aang said as he tried to get up. The sand was really starting to irritate his back.

Katara laughed as she realized that was why Sokka was acting strange. Well stranger, than normal. "So that is why he dragged me to every clothing store in town."

Katara finally let Aang up. She wrapped her arms around him. Katara brushed the sand off of his back and bald head before giving him a kiss under the moon.

Aang deepened the kiss causing Katara to moan. Aang twined his fingers in her hair before pulling her closer to him. If he could breathe in her scent like this all the time he would. He loved the sounds that she made when he made her happy.

The ended up back on the sand, but this time Aang was on top of Katara now. When she tried to roll him over they ended up rolling right into the water.

They both laughed inbetween the kissing, and splashing each other with salt water.

"Okay Aang now I am soaked," Katara said. She stood up in the waist deep water.

Aang stood up and took her hand in his. She took his other hand, and they stared into each others eyes for a awhile.

It was one of those moments where they felt like they had a conversation with each other without uttering a sound.

After a few minutes they decided to settle down on the blanket snuggled closed together under the clear night sky. Aang lit a small fire for warmth. They watched as the small flames flickered in the breeze that came off of the ocean.

They snuggled there near the little fire under the moon. Aang held Katara's hand tightly like if he let go of her hand that she would be taken away in the ocean breeze itself.

Aang just thought about how his best friend, and replacement mother had become more to him than that. He remember when he first figured out that they were meant for more.

Aang looked over to Katara who was smiling up at the moon. "I am glad we can be happy together Aang."

"Me too," Aang said as he moved the hair from her face, and kissed Katara with more passion, than he had ever shown anyone.
