Katara skidded to a stop on her knees next to the motionless figure. Her hands fluttered as she tried to figure out what to do.
Sokka took a more direct route and poked the boy's head with the butt of his spear.
"Stop it!" Katara smacked Sokka away. The boy groaned and blinked groggily.
"I need to tell you something…" he mumbled.
A tingle ran down Katara's arm and she gasped. She pushed back her sleeve just in time to see the words trace themselves down her left arm in glowing blue.
Before today, the words had been gray.
Soulmates.
Soulmates AU, of the "first words tattoo" variety. The first words your soulmate will ever say to you are written on your skin. I always thought it was an interesting concept.
So, I originally wrote this with the words being "Will you go penguin sledding with me?" And then I watched the first meeting and I realized that those are not in fact the first words Aang says to Katara. *single tear* Such a wasted opportunity...
