Day 2 of dealing with my dog being gone : (. I woke up this morning praying for it to have all been a horrible dream. Instead I woke my boyfriend up by soaking his shoulder in tears.
Now… I didn't really expect to continue with this story but a continuing (right word there?) reader Dragon Jadefire (thank you by the way) said that I should continue with at least their talk. And so I will.
I dedicate this story to Dragon Jadefire and my late dog Gizmo who sadly passed away yesterday (7-15-08).

Katara moved a water-covered hand over Zuko's leg, starting the healing process. The group had landed at the Western Air Temple and Katara had almost instantly gone to work on Zuko's leg, sending the rest off for food and supplies. Zuko threw his head back, wincing.
"Gah! That hurts!" Katara closed her eyes for a minute, sighing. Zuko instantly realized his mistake. "erm… sorry." Katara shook her head.
"It's fine…but this is going to hurt Zuko. Your leg is broken and that's not the easiest thing to fix. I'm sorry but you're going to have to try to hold still." And so they sat, Zuko trying to control his screams as so not to look weak in front of Katara, and to not upset her.
After a good fifteen minutes of healing Zuko grabbed her hand.
"Why don't we…take a break?" Katara nodded, wiping her forehead with the back of her arm.
"Alright." She sat back, leaning against the same stone pillar as Zuko. He sat silent before a moment before smiling lightly.
"Ya know… we still need to talk…" Katara turned her head to him, giving a small nod. "Wh-what's going on with us?" Katara blushed lightly, smiling.
"I was wondering the same thing. I mean… I-it's clear we have….feelings for one another." Zuko chuckled lightly, lacing his fingers with hers. The two were silent for a moment.
"So… I…I'm thinking yes." He gave her hand a light squeeze. Katara looked to him, returning the smile.
"I'm thinking yes too." She giggled, hugging him. He groaned slightly, and she instantly detached. "Oh sorry!" she blushed at forgetting his bruised ribs. "I should uhm… get back to your leg…" She moved back to her original position, surrounding her hands in water. Zuko watched her as she healed, watched the way her eyes moved in concentration, and the way her smile never left her face. And he too smiled, too happy to feel any pain."

So it's probably not the best. But I actually the "im thinking yes" from the way my boyfriend asked me out lol . It was too cute and I thought it deserved to be in a story.
Reviews would be nice.
