This was originally going to be one chapter, but it was way too long. I am trying to keep each chapter between 5,000-10,000 words. I hope this chapter is good, enjoy.
I don't own ATLA or anything else in this story. Don't sue me.
"He's here," Katara said, a bit nervous. Suki noticed and raised an eyebrow.
"Are you nervous? Why?" Suki asked curiously.
"It's our first date, I want it to be perfect," Katara confessed.
"You worry too much, it'll be fine," Suki reassured. Katara calmed her breathing and went to the front door with her purse and backpack that had her dress in it.
"Thanks for everything Suki. Are you going home?" Katara asked before opening the front door.
"No, I want to hang out with Sokka for a while. Good luck!" Suki said as she watched her friend walk outside. Katara nodded and saw Aang parked on the curb. Once Aang saw his girlfriend he quickly got out of his car and met Katara halfway. Aang couldn't help but look at his girlfriend's beautiful body.
"You look amazing, Katara" Aang confessed, making Katara blush. "I knew I should have worn foundation," She thought.
"Thanks, you look really handsome," Katara replied truthfully. Now it was Aang's turn to blush.
"Thanks," He said while leaning down a bit to kiss her. Katara met him halfway and kissed him. It seemed that each kiss was getting better than the last. The way her lips felt on his and the way he felt on hers was an indescribable feeling. After a moment, Katara got off her tippy toes and stood normally.
"Shall we?" Aang said while walking in his car. Katara nodded and followed him. Aang opened the door for her, causing her to smile even more.
"Thank you," She said as she entered the car. Aang gave a 'you're welcome nod' and quickly made his way to the driver's seat. Once he entered he turned on the car and began driving.
"What music do you listen to?" Katara asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Uhh it's kinda embarrassing, but I love 2010 top hits. It's not really a type of music, but I just love the music from that era. I also like oldies too."Aang replied with a nervous chuckle. Katara giggled and looked at him.
"So you like upbeat music? That's okay. I like it too, do you have an aux?" She asked curiously, Aang nodded and pointed to the cord. Katara grabbed it and plugged it into her phone.
"Do you have a favorite song?" Katara asked as he stopped at a red light.
"Not really, but I love 'Baby I'm Yours' by Breakdot," He said. Katara nodded and searched for the song.
"I don't think I've heard that one before," She confessed, but she was excited because of the title. She was a romantic person at the end of the day. She pressed play and set her phone on her lap. Once the song came on her face turned into a confused one, "I don't recognize this song, but it's good so far." She thought.
"Listen, baby
Your wish is my command
Baby won't you understand
That your wish is my command
What can I do to make
My baby understand?"
Aang began singing and dancing as he did in the Walmart parking lot. Katara couldn't help but laugh hysterically. Aang saw that he was making his girlfriend laugh and felt good. He looked at her with a sparkle in his eye.
"Katara! Dance with me!" Aang demanded with a laugh. His girlfriend wiped a few tears of joy from her eyes and smiled.
"I don't know how to dance! Plus we're sitting down," She countered.
"So? You can dance with just the upper half of your body. Come on! Let loose!" Aang fired back. Katara wanted to dance, but she didn't have the confidence. She was afraid that she'll look like a fool.
"No! I'd look so stupid," She fired back. She was already having so much fun and it was just a ride to the skating rink. The song ended and Aang glanced at his girlfriend.
"Hmm, fine, but I'm going to make you dance sooner or later," He said. The skating rink was surprisingly close. Five more minutes and they would arrive.
"We'll see. Where did you learn how to dance anyway?" Katara said, "He looks so smooth and in sync with his body when he dances," She thought.
"Nowhere, I just let the music control me. Plus, Air-Nomads are natural dancers," He answered. Katara raised an eyebrow.
"Really? I wish I had talent like that," She replied.
"You might, you just have to let yourself try," Aang said while making a right.
"Maybe. So why ice skating?" She asked curiously. Aang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Katara.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Most guys ask to go to the movies or dinner only. What made you pick ice skating?" She asked.
"It was Mai's idea. I asked her for advice on how to ask you out. Plus I was hoping the cold environment would remind you of home," He answered as he entered the parking lot.
"That's one reason why I'm excited, but you went to Mai for advice? Why not Zuko?" She asked curiously.
"That's exactly what Mai said. I thought advice from a girl would make more sense." He answered as he parked his car.
"Ohh that's actually clever." She responded. Aang smiled and got out of his car. He went around to his girlfriend's side and opened her door. She thanked him and they went inside. Once they got inside they paid for their skates and quickly put them on.
"You ready, goofball?" She asked with a huge smile on her face.
"I'm a bit nervous, but let's do this!" He said with excitement. Katara giggled and they entered the ice skating rink. Once the skates touched the ice Aang leaned on the wall and so did Katara.
"Let's see if I remember how to do this," Katara said while pushing away from the wall. She lost her balance for a little bit but fought to regain it and won.
"You're doing it Katara!" Aang said, trying to contain his excitement. Katara giggled and tried to turn around and look at him, however, she lost balance again and began falling. However, before she could land hard on her butt, she felt like something caught her and gently let her sit on the floor.
"What in the world?!" She thought with confusion.
"You can't fall hard around an airbender, remember?" Aang said with a smirk. Katara blushed and got up.
"How did I forget that? Airbending is awesome," She said.
"It sure is!" Aang said like a little kid. Katara giggled and motioned him to come to her.
"Alright wish me luck!" Aang said while pushing off the wall. He instantly began flailing around and fought for his balance. It looked like a deer on ice. Katara began to laugh hysterically at her goofy boyfriend fighting so hard to gain his balance.
"Ahhhh! It's so slippery!" Aang said while falling, but he caught himself with his airbending. Katara laughed even harder.
"I-I know. Come on. Let's help each other," Katara said, coming down from her laughter. She offered her hand and Aang airbended himself upwards. He grabbed Katara's hand and intertwined their fingers. It was a funny sight, watching the couple skate. Katara was around 5'10 with her skates on, which made Aang nearly 6'6 with his skates on. However, Aang was clinging onto his girlfriend the whole time. After a few feet of skating, Aang was practically holding on to Katara for dear life.
"Aang! You're so heavy! I can barely stand!" Katara said while laughing. Aang blushed and smiled sheepishly.
"I knew you were calling me fat!" Aang teased, earning a playful eye roll from his girlfriend.
"Please, Aang. You literally have a six-pack," She countered, making Aang blush even harder.
"I was just teasing. Sorry about leaning on you so much. I just don't want to fall. Just give me a second to adapt," He said. Katara giggled and let her boyfriend take his time.
After several more minutes, Aang finally felt like he got the hang of skating.
"Alright, beautiful. I think I can do this on my own," Aang said, a bit nervous. He let go of Katara and began skating on his own.
"You're doing it, Aang!" She said with excitement. She was smiling so much that she knew her face would be sore tomorrow.
"I am! Let's see how fast I can go!" He said before moving his feet and skating faster.
"Be careful!" Katara said, skating after him. Aang put on a thumbs up and skated even faster. "Wow! It's like he knew how to skate all along!" She thought. Aang found his rhythm and began skating even faster.
"Wait up!" Katara yelled, dodging people so she wouldn't run into them. Aang did as he was told and waited for his girlfriend to catch up.
"Sorry, I got too excited," He blushed, causing Katara to giggle.
"Don't be, I just can't skate as fast as you. How'd you get so good all of a sudden?" She asked curiously.
"I don't know. You need good balance to be a master airbender, I guess it just had to click," He answered.
"Ohh, that makes sense," She replied. A light bulb turned on his Aang's head.
"Get on my back," Aang ordered. Katara gave him a confused look.
"Why?" She asked.
"Get on and I'll show you." He answered. Katara was hesitant, but she trusted him. She got on his back. Once Aang was giving her a piggyback ride, he used his airbending to skate really fast.
"AHHH! AANG! THIS IS TOO CRAZY! WE'RE GONNA CRASH INTO SOMETHING!" She yelled, drawing attention from other people. Katara held onto her boyfriend with a death grip and closed her eyes
"We'll be fine!" He reassured. He slowed down a bit to calm down his girlfriend. After a few moments of cruising Katara finally opened her eyes.
"This is actually pretty fun!" She confessed. Her fear turned into happiness and excitement.
"See? I told you," Aang said, slowly picking up the pace.
"Faster!" Katara demanded, feeling like a little kid. Aang had a huge grin on his face and did as he was told. He began zooming past people leaving them to wonder "How in the world is he going so fast?" Aang began drawing a crowd.
"Weeee! Faster, Aang Faster!" Katara ordered, feeling so free and happy. Aang chuckled and went even faster. By now everyone was looking at the couple with confused, but excited faces. The conversation ranged from. "Daddy! Can we do that?" to "How come you can't be like that, sweetie?" After several minutes of flying across the rink. Aang slowed down and gently let Katara down.
"That was so much fun!" Katara said, a bit out of breath.
"I knew you would like it," Aang said while reaching for her hand and intertwined his fingers in hers.
"I loved it, thank you so much, Aang," She said, she wanted to kiss him but couldn't reach him.
"Kiss me," She ordered. Aang smiled and leaned down to kiss her on the lips. It was at this point where Katara and Aang were in pure happiness. The warmth and comfort that came from each other's lips went perfectly with the events that just occurred. After a couple of moments, they broke the kiss and looked at each other. Aang leaned on the wall and Katara leaned on her boyfriend, still holding hands. They stood there for a moment before Katara noticed that most of the people on the rink were staring at them.
"Aang? Is it just me or are people looking at us?" Katara asked nervously. Aang raised an eyebrow and looked around and noticed it too.
"They are looking at us," He answered.
"Why?" She asked.
"They're probably wondering how a bald guy with weird-looking tattoos got with such a beautiful girl," Aang said with a smirk. Katara blushed and buried her face in his flannel to hide her blush.
"Your tattoos aren't weird looking. I think they're sexy," Katara said while looking up at him. It was Aang's turn to blush.
"Thanks. Do you want to sit for a bit? Carrying you was tiring," He teased. Katara gasped and hit his shoulder.
"Are you calling me fat?" She said, trying to act threatening, but her smile betrayed her.
"Katara, you're literally 128 pounds. Plus your body is perfect," Aang answered, making Katara blush slightly.
"Good answer," She replied with a smile. Aang matched it and they went to exit the rink. Once they exited, they took off their skates and sat on a couch in the resting area. They flopped on the couch and cuddled together to gain warmth. Katara rested her head on his shoulder while Aang wrapped his arm around her waist.
"That was fun, but my feet hurt," Katara confessed.
"It was, but how do your feet hurt? I was doing all the work," Aang teased, causing Katara to playfully roll her eyes.
"They still hurt for some reason. I would give you a piggyback ride, but I'd be crushed," Katara said, earning a chuckle from her boyfriend.
"True, give me your feet," Aang ordered, Katara raised an eyebrow in confusion. Aang saw this and chuckled.
"Do you want me to massage your feet or not?" Aang asked, Katara's face lit up. She quickly did as she was told and scooted to her right so that she could lay her feet on his lap. Aang smiled and began massaging her feet.
"Ohhh yeah that's the stuff," She whispered, Aang chuckled and continued to massage her feet. After a couple of minutes, an evil grin grew on Aang's face and began tickling her feet.
"Ahhh! Aang! Stop… please!" Katara said while squirming and trying to pull away from his tickles. Katara was laughing hysterically, which caused Aang to laugh. Katara was finally able to pull away and catch her breath.
"You just wanted to tickle my feet!" Katara said with a huge smile.
"Guilty!" Aang replied, Katara giggled and returned to their cuddling position.
"My feet feel a lot better. Thank you, sweetie," Katara said while kissing her boyfriend on the cheek.
"You're welcome, my forever girl," Aang replied, causing the both of them to blush. They continued to enjoy each other's warmth for a couple of minutes until Katara spotted an ice cream store.
"Let's get some ice cream. What kind do you want?" Katara asked while getting up.
"Cookies and cream please," Aang replied, trying to get up but he was stopped by his girlfriend.
"Stay here. I don't want anyone stealing our spot," Katara ordered. Aang nodded and saw her turn around. He let out a fake gasp and got up.
"You're not going to kiss me goodbye?" He said, mocking what Katara said yesterday night. Katara turned around and smirked.
"Forgive me, It'll never happen again," She said with a bow. Aang rolled his eyes and leaned down to kiss her. Every time he kissed her, he felt butterflies in his stomach, it was one of the best feelings on earth. After a moment they broke apart and smiled at each other.
"Cookies and cream?" Katara said. Aang nodded and she turned around and left to get the ice cream. "I love that girl so much," Aang thought to himself. Aang sat down and pulled out his phone to pass the time. After several minutes he heard a voice.
"Excuse me?" The mystery girl said. Aang looked up to see a girl. She had pale skin like him and she looked a bit older. Maybe 1 or 2 years older. She had long black hair and brown eyes.
"Yeah?" Aang said, confused because he didn't recognize this girl. The girl smiled and sat down next to him. Aang studied the girl's face and thought "Not as beautiful as Katara,"
"I'm sorry, but I have to ask about your tattoos. Why did you get an arrow?" She asked curiously.
"It's in my culture. You get them once you master airbending," He answered.
"You're a master airbender!? That's like, the coolest thing ever!" She said excitedly, She rested her hand on his knee, which caused Aang to get a bit uncomfortable "What is she doing?" He asked himself.
"Uh, thanks. What's your name?" Aang said awkwardly while scooting away from her.
"Oh! How rude of me. I'm Rosie, what's your name?" Rosie questioned.
"Aang," He replied.
"Well, it's nice to meet you. Do you have any airbending stuff you could show me?" Rosie asked with excitement. Aang nodded and used his vacuum technique to grab his skates. Rosie's eyes lit up.
"Wow! That's so cool!" She said with excitement. Aang laughed, which made Rosie giggle, "Come on Rosie! Ask for his number!" She thought. By now Katara already purchased her ice cream and was on the way back to Aang. She saw Aang show a random girl his vacuum technique. She also saw Aang and Rosie laughing, which made her jealous. "Who the hell is this girl?!" Katara thought, feeling the rage build up within her. She quickly walked up to her boyfriend and eyed the girl. "Thank goodness you're here," Aang thought.
"Hi Aang," Katara said, a bit bitter.
"What's up. Rosie, this is my girlfriend Katara. Katara this is Rosie," Aang said. Rosie's face fell and she got up.
"Nice to meet you Katara," Rosie said in a sad voice.
"Likewise," Katara said dryly. Rosie sighed.
"Well it was nice meeting you two, bye," She said, before Aang to reply she left. Katara handed her boyfriend his ice cream and sat down. Aang thanked her and looked at his girlfriend. He noticed she was glaring at Rosie walking off.
"Are you okay?" Aang said in a gentle voice. Katara turned her head to look at her boyfriend.
"Who was that girl?" She asked a bit bitterly.
"I don't know. She just came up and started talking to me," He answered. Katara didn't say anything. Aang still felt some negative energy coming from her, "Is she jealous?" He asked himself.
"Are… Are you jealous?" He asked, in a semi-scared voice. He didn't want his girlfriend mad at him.
"No," She lied. Aang's face turned into a worried and half scared face.
"Then why do you look mad?" He asked. Katara turned her head to face her boyfriend and her face softened at the look of Aang's worried look.
"Because you were talking and laughing with another girl," She said, already ashamed.
"So you are jealous," Aang said.
"Maybe a little," She replied, feeling more ashamed. Aang's muscles to relax. He chuckled and took a bite of his ice cream. After he swallowed, he spoke.
"Katara I would never cheat on you. You're the only one I want. I mean that," Aang said truthfully. Katara smiled warmly and sighed.
"I know, Aang. I trust you and you're the only one I want too, but I can't help myself sometimes," She confessed while eating her ice cream.
"Katara, you basically ruined other girls for me," He said with a chuckle. Katara raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She questioned.
"I tell you that you look beautiful all the time right?" He asked, Katara blushed and nodded.
"But I don't think you understand how beautiful you are. You're blue eyes, nose, mouth, and tan skin are all perfect. You make every other girl look normal. You know what I think every time I see a 'pretty' girl?" He asked. Katara blushed at the compliment and waited for her boyfriend to continue speaking.
"Every time I see another girl, the first thing I think is, 'not as beautiful as Katara," He said with a smile. Katara blushed even harder and buried her face in his shoulder.
"You're just saying that," She mumbled. Aang chuckled and began brushing his fingers through her hair. By now they both finished their ice cream and placed the cup on the floor for now.
"No, I'm not. It's the truth, but not only are you the most beautiful girl in the world. I love your personality. You are so caring and strong. I have so much fun with you and I love your passion," Aang said while continuing to brush her hair with his fingers. Katara blushed even harder and smiled into his shoulder.
"I love you so much. You make me feel so special," She said with butterflies in her stomach. Aang smiled.
"You are special. I love you, too" Aang replied. Katara unburied her face and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I promise not to get so jealous again," She said.
"Don't worry about it. I think I would be jealous too if I saw you showing another guy waterbending tricks and laughing. Plus we're still learning about how to be girlfriend and boyfriend." Aang confessed, making Katara smile even more.
"We are still learning. But, don't be jealous because I want you and only you. You make me feel alive and free. Plus, your muscles are so hot," Katara said, causing her boyfriend to blush furiously. Katara giggled and felt her boyfriend bring her closer.
"Thank you," He choked out. They sat together for the next ten minutes. They were so happy and felt so safe near each other. However, the moment was ended by Aang's loud stomach. Katara giggled and sat up to look at him.
"Someone's hungry. Come on, let go return our skates," She ordered while they both stood up.
"Wait let's take a picture. You know, so we could remember our first date," Aang said.
"Oh yeah! Here take it on my phone," She said while handing him her phone.
"I don't know the first thing about taking selfies, beautiful," Aang said with a chuckle, causing his girlfriend to giggle.
"It's easy. I would do it, but you have longer arms." Katara said while fluffing up her hair.
"I guess, but if it doesn't come out well, don't blame me," Aang said with another chuckle. Katara giggled and got ready for the picture. Aang raised his arm and awkwardly took several selfies. After Aang finished, he went to her photos so he and his girlfriend could look at the photos.
"You did great! I love this one, it's definitely going to be my background," Katara said. She loved this picture the most because she liked how she looked but loved how handsome and contagious her boyfriend's smile was. She knew if she was feeling down, she could look at this picture and smile.
"I like that one too. Send it to me please," Aang ordered, "Man, her smile is flawless. How could one smile make me so happy?" He thought.
"I will, let's go eat," She said while they grabbed their skates and trash and headed to the front. After they threw away their trash and returned their skates, they left the building holding hands. They arrived at Aang's car and entered the vehicle.
"Alright, let's go eat," Aang said while turning on his car.
"Wait, let me change into my dress," Katara said while grabbing her backpack and taking out her dress. She took off her jacket and began taking off her shirt. Aang blushed and looked away.
"You're going to change in here?!" Aang said nervously, causing Katara to giggle.
"You've seen me in my bikini before. What's the difference?" Katara pointed out. She took off her shirt. Aang was still looking away. "I have to initiate everything. Aang is too nice and sweet," Katara thought to herself
"Aang, it's okay. We're together, I've seen you without your shirt before," Katara said while she began to take off her skinny jeans.
"I-I know, I just don't want to be disrespectful and stare," He said nervously. He was still looking away.
"You know, I was staring at you work shirtless earlier today," She confessed with a blush. He whipped his head to look at her, what Hakoda said before was confirmed. Aang couldn't help but feel flattered and happy that his girlfriend loved his body.
"Really? Hakoda said you were. I guess it is okay huh?" He said blushing. He saw that she was wearing a light blue bra and matching underwear. He studied her for a good moment. Taking in the sight of her half-naked. He saw how her skin was the perfect shade of brown and how every part of her body looked so soft and comforting. One of his favorite parts of her body was her stomach. It was weird, he couldn't really explain it, but even her belly button was attractive. Katara began adjusting one of her socks with her right hand, causing her belly to make small folds of fat. He found it incredibly sexy and felt his manhood get a little too excited. He adjusted his pants and let out a nervous breath. He knew he wasn't ready for sex because of his insecurities, but he couldn't wait to make love with her.
"You are really breathtaking Katara," Aang said, trying to act confident. Katara blushed even harder and suddenly felt like covering herself. "I thought this would be easier!" She thought. She fought through and acted as confidently as she could. "Wow… her skin looks so good. I can't help but look at her cleavage. Her body is perfect… don't get excited Aang!" He thought to himself. Katara quickly began putting on the dress. After she was finished she opened the car door and stood up to get rid of the wrinkles. After she was finished she entered the car and closed the door.
"You look gorgeous. Your dress and body are just… wow," Aang said, barely above a whisper. Katara smiled and blushed.
"That's exactly what I thought when I saw you working without a shirt. Mines the dress part though," She replied with a giggle. Aang blushed even harder and began backing up.
"So when are you going to learn how to drive?" Aang said, changing the subject.
"I don't know. My dad keeps telling me he'll teach me, but he hasn't yet," She replied.
"I could teach you. It's not that hard," Aang replied while exiting the parking lot.
"That would be great! Do you already have a license?" She questioned.
"No, just my permit, but I should be getting my license soon," He responded.
"Oh, so you're breaking the law?" She teased.
"Yup! You have a criminal boyfriend, how does it feel?" Aang fired back with a smile. Katara laughed.
"Feels like I need to set you straight!" She countered, making her boyfriend laugh.
"And how are you going to do that?" He said with a smirk.
"By beating you up!" She teased with a smile.
"You? Beating me up? Please," he said sarcastically. Katara laughed again.
"You just wait until I'm a master!" She threatened. Aang laughed as he turned right.
"When you become a master we have to spar. I'm willing to bet you won't even land a hit on me," Aang teased.
"We'll see about that!" She fired back, making them both laugh.
"No, but in all seriousness. You'll be a great master. I honestly believe if you put your mind to it, you'll become the greatest waterbender of all time," Aang said truthfully. Katara blushed and leaned back in her seat.
"I don't know about that. There are so many great waterbenders out there," She said.
"Why not? You have the passion and drive. And how cool would it be that you did become the greatest waterbender of all time? No one would mess with you!" Aang said with a smile. Katara blushed even harder.
"That would be cool. Do you really believe me?" She asked.
"Of course I do. It took a lot of work to become the youngest airbending master. I can see a lot of that work ethic in you. Maybe even more," Aang said truthfully. Katara blushed even harder and felt super motivated
"Thank you, Aang. They're going to make statues of me!" Katara joked, earning a laugh from her boyfriend.
"Just don't forget about me when you become the greatest of all time," Aang teased, earning a giggle from his girlfriend.
"Never," She replied. Aang finally arrived and parked in the parking lot. They got out of the car and entered the restaurant. The hostess led them to their table and sat them down. They looked at the menus to order.
"Oooo they have a special for their ramen." Aang pointed out.
"You should get that. I'm feeling the roast duck," Katara replied. Aang nodded. The waiter came along and asked if they wanted anything to drink. Katara got a Dr. Pepper while Aang got some tea. They also ordered their food and the waiter nodded and walked away.
"Tea? You don't like soda?" Katara asked curiously.
"I love soda. Maybe a little too much. If I drink some then I won't stop," Aang said with a chuckle, earning a giggle from his girlfriend.
"You know. It's so hard to believe you meditate and drink tea like some old guy." Katara pointed out.
"Why?" Aang replied with a laugh.
"Because you're so goofy! What guy drinks tea and meditates while being a huge goofball?" Katara asked with a sparkle in her eye.
"Your boyfriend," Aang replied, earning another giggle from Katara.
"Gran told me to make you and Sokka meditate because you guys fight so much," Aang said.
"We do fight a lot, but we still love each other. But I don't think I can meditate, it seems like I'll get bored," Katara confessed, earning a chuckle from Aang.
"It is boring at first. The first time I did it I was like, 'what am I doing? I'm just sitting and thinking about nothing. How is this supposed to calm me down? My butt itches'" Aang said, earning a good laugh from Katara.
"That sounds about right," Katara replied. The waiter returned with their drinks. They both thanked him and began siping on their beverages.
"Have you ever thought about the future?" Aang questioned. Katara raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Like what you want to be when you grow up? That kind of stuff," Aang replied.
"Yeah, I have thought about that. I've always been interested in the medical field." She answered, earning a chuckle from Aang.
"What happened to 'I don't want to heal, I want to fight!" Aang responded, earning a laugh from his girlfriend.
"When it comes to waterbending, but I do like helping people. Plus, saving a person's life has to be the best thing ever," Katara said.
"That would be awesome. Imagine? 'Greetings Doctor Master Katara!" Aang said in a deeper voice, causing Katara to giggle.
"That would be amazing. So what about you?" Katara questioned while taking a sip of her Dr. Pepper.
"I'm not sure yet. I like doing math. Maybe a teacher? But I would probably have too much fun with my students and nothing would get done," Aang said with a laugh, making Katara laugh as well.
"That's true, what about an engineer? That has a lot of math." Katara asked.
"Maybe, but I want to help people too," Aang replied.
"Engineers do help people. Cars, phones, even machines that doctors use to help people," Katara argued.
"Yeah, that's true. But one thing I know for sure is that I'll make more money than you," Aang teased.
"Nuh-uh! Doctors make more than engineers!" Katara fired back, earning a laugh from her boyfriend.
"We'll see. You know the more I think about it, the more I want to have my own business. Being your own boss is the dream. I just need to figure out what business I can do to help people," Aang said while deep in thought.
"That would be cool, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it," Katara said.
"That's true. It's a future Aang problem," Aang replied. The waiter arrived with their food. He put the plates on the table and Aang and Katara thanked him. They dove into the food.
"These noodles are amazing!" Aang said.
"Wow this roast duck is seasoned perfectly, do you want som-" She forgot her boyfriend is vegetarian. Aang laughed and took a sip of his tea.
"Sorry, I forgot you're vegetarian," Katara said with a blush of embarrassment.
"It's okay, I appreciate the offer though. Do you want some of my noodles?" Aang asked.
"Yes please," Katara answered excited, to taste Aang's food. Aang used his chopsticks to grab some noodles and place some on her plate. She ate some and her eyes widened.
"Wow, this is really good," Katara said.
"It might be better than Gran Gran's, but don't tell her I said that," Aang teased, earning a giggle from Katara. They continued to eat until they cleaned their plates.
"I'm full. That was some of the best food I've ever had," Katara said, feeling stuffed.
"I agree. Got room for dessert?" Aang asked.
"Maybe a little," Katara replied with an embarrassed blush, Aang chuckled and called the waiter to order some Mango sticky rice. Once he finished he turned to Katara and saw her sipping on her Dr. Pepper.
"Can I have some?" Aang asked like a little child, causing Katara to giggle.
"Of course, just don't get addicted, goofball," Katara replied while sliding her cup to her boyfriend. Aang's face lit up and took a sip. Katara swore she saw his pupils dilate.
"Dr. Pepper is my favorite, one more sip?" He asked, Katara giggled and nodded. Aang proceeded to take the biggest sip humanly possible.
"Aang! Stop! You're gonna finish it all!" Katara said while laughing. Aang stopped and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry, it just tastes so good," Aang said while sliding the cup back to his girlfriend. Katara laughed even harder, which made Aang laugh, "Her laugh is so contagious!" Aang thought. After a moment she calmed down and took another sip of her Dr. Pepper.
"I bet you want more don't you?" Katara said with a smile.
"Just a little, but I think it's my sugar craving. I'm sure once I eat dessert, it will get rid of it," Aang said, as if planned, the dessert arrived and they both dove straight in.
"This tastes sooo good. Thanks, Aang" Katara said after she swallowed her first bite.
"You're welcome," Aang replied before he took another bite. Soon enough, they finished the dessert and stood up to go pay at the front desk. After Aang finished paying they exited and went to the car.
"How much was it?" Katara asked.
"74 dollars, but don't worry about it. It was my treat," Aang said. Katara's face frowned, although she was extremely grateful about Aang paying for her, she couldn't help but feel guilty. She was about to let it go until she remembered how empty his house looked like.
"Oh Aang, let me at least give you 20 dollars," Katara said while opening her purse.
"Katara, it's fine, trust me. Gyatso and I are getting back up on our feet," Aang said. They arrived at the car and Aang opened the door for her. She thanked him as usual and waited for him to enter through the driver's side. He entered and turned on the car.
"Are you sure?" Katara asked one last time.
"I'm positive, thank you for offering though," Aang said while looking at the time. It was 8:00 pm.
"We have another hour until I have to drop you off. Is there anything else you want to do?" Aang asked. Katara thought for a moment before speaking.
"I don't know, but I don't want the night to end. Do you have anything in mind?" Katara said while Aang backed up and began driving.
"We could go on a late-night flight on Appa," Aang said. Katara's face lit up and smiled.
"That'd be perfect!" She said with excitement. Aang chuckled. About ten minutes later they arrived at Aang's house. They entered his home and Katara immediately felt sad at the emptiness of her boyfriend's house. "I'm going to give him 20 dollars for taking me to dinner. I just need to sneak it into his pocket." She thought while she took out the money from her back and placed it in her pocket. Gyatso was in his bedroom and Aang already texted him that Katara would be coming over for a late-night ride on Appa. Aang grabbed some pillows and blankets from his bed because it was chilly outside. The lovers made their way to their backyard and saw Appa sprawled out on the ground relaxing.
"Appa! Appa! I have the best news!" Aang said like a little kid, earning a giggle from his girlfriend. Appa roared and stood up eagerly. Their bond was so strong, they could communicate with each other, even if Appa couldn't speak.
"Okay, buddy promise me you won't lick her," Aang said, causing Katara to laugh. Appa roared in agreement.
"Katara's my girlfriend! And I'm her boyfriend!" Aang said excitedly, earning a blush from Katara. Appa roared in happiness and began jumping around.
"Woah!" Katara said while laughing at the sight of the excited bison.
"Appa!" Aang said while laughing. Appa calmed down and crouched so Aang could put the saddle on him. After he finished he grabbed the blankets and pillows and airbended them onto Appa. He then turned to Katara and grabbed her, bridal style, and airbended himself onto Appa. Katara let out a little squeak. She was not completely used to her boyfriend's airbending. Once they were on the bison, Aang told his best friend to fly over the city and a calm and steady place. Appa did as he was told and flew into the air. Aang places the pillows at the end of the saddle and motions Katara over.
"We're cuddling?" Katara said with a massive smile on her face.
"I was hoping we would. If you don't mind," Aang said with a slight blush. Katara giggled and snuggled into her boyfriend's warmth. She rested her head on his chest while Aang wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her closer.
"Of course I don't mind." She said while resting her hand on his stomach. She wanted to feel his abs again. Aang already knew this and pulled his shirt up so his stomach was exposed. Katara blushed, but quickly began gently feeling his abs. They cuddled together, enjoying each other's warmth, and enjoying the view of the night sky. After 10 minutes Katara broke the silence.
"C-can I ask you a question?" She said nervously, but Aang didn't notice.
"Of course," He responded. There was a long pause because Katara was gathering her thoughts.
"H-how… I mean, how… Never mind, it's too personal and weird," Katara said with a blush. Aang raised an eyebrow and grew a bit worried.
"Katara, you can ask me anything. I'm here for you," He reassured and gave her an encouraging squeeze. Katara sighed and began playing with her hair nervously.
"How… How big are you?" She questioned, already regretting what she asked. Aang raised another eyebrow, not understanding her question.
"I don't understand," He responded. Katara took a deep breath and decided to push through.
"How big a-are you… down there?" She said, pointing with her eyes at his manhood. Aang immediately understood her question and blushed furiously. His face was so red he could just explode.
"I… ummm I-I mean... uhh" He stammered nervously.
"I'm so sorry, Aang. You don't have to answer. I knew I shouldn't have asked," She said, regretting her question. Aang paused for a moment to gather his thoughts, which made Katara feel worse.
"It's okay Katara. I just… I'm a little insecure about my… you know," Aang confessed, feeling embarrassed. Katara let out a sigh of relief because he wasn't mad at her.
"I understand, but can I ask why? You don't have to if you don't want to," Katara said, feeling anxious. Aang let out another breath.
"I don't know how big I am. I've never measured myself. I think all guys go through this, but I'm scared that it's… well… small," Aang said, blushing furiously out of embarrassment. Katara didn't exactly know what to feel. She was relieved that his manhood wasn't too big, but she also felt bad that he was insecure.
"Aang… I don't care what size it is. I love you and I always will. I'm sure you have the perfect size," Katara comforted. Aang gave her a weak smile.
"I love you too. I really hope it is." Aang said, making both of them blush.
"I hope you don't mind me asking so many questions, but why haven't you measured yourself?" She asked, feeling bold.
"Katara, you know that you can ask me anything. I feel comfortable around you… I haven't measured myself because I'm scared of the results," Aang confessed, making Katara frown in empathy.
"Aang, I need you to know that girls don't mind a small… you know. It's not like in the movies and shows where the guy needs to be big to pleasure a woman. We actually prefer it if it wasn't huge," Katara said, she felt her boyfriend relax under her.
"R-really?" Aang said. Katara nodded and smiled at him.
"Thanks, Katara. That makes me feel better. I just hope it's enough," Aang said while kissing the top of her head.
"It's enough, trust me," She responded. Aang smiled and let out a breath.
"I love you," Aang said
"I love you, too" She responded. They continued to fly until it was 8:50 pm. Aang guided Appa to Katara's house and landed in her backyard. Aang airbended himself and Katara to the ground and led her to the backdoor.
"I had a really good time, sweetie," Katara said.
"Me too, I can't wait for us to go on more dates," Aang responded.
"I can't wait either," She said while leaning up for a kiss. Aang met her halfway and kissed her. Aang rested his hand on her hips and Katara's hands were pressed on his stomach. After several moments, they pulled away blushing, it was their longest kiss.
"Kissing you makes me feel like I'm in heaven," Aang confessed, making Katara blush a beat red.
"I feel the same," She responded. After a moment of looking into each other's eyes, Aang realized it was about to turn 9:00 pm.
"You should go inside, or your dad will hunt me down for dropping you off late," Aang said, earning a giggle from Katara. She reached for her pocket and grabbed the 20 dollars.
"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow at school, and we'll be at your meet. I love you, sweetie," She said while wrapping her arms around his waist. Aang smiled and hugged her back. Katara sneakily placed the twenty dollars in his back pocket, "I have to pay you back, Aang," She thought.
"I love you, too" He replied. They broke apart and said their goodbyes. Aang left on Appa and Katara went inside to find her dad standing at the front door waiting for her. She saw he was tapping his foot and looking at his watch repeatedly with an almost angry look on her face.
"Dad? I'm home," She said with a smile. Hakoda whipped his head to face his daughter in surprise.
"Sweetie? Why'd you go through the back door?" He asked curiously while walking up to her and hugged her. Katara hugged him back.
"Aang dropped me off on Appa, his flying bison," Katara said while they broke away.
"Oh, well, he dropped you off on time. So he's safe for now," Hakoda teased, earning an eye roll from his daughter.
"So how did it go?" Hakoda questioned.
"It was so much fun. The only bad thing is that my face is sore," She said with a smile. Hakoda's eyes widened and his mind went to the worst possibilities.
"What?! Did he hit you!? I swear I will murder that kid!" Hakoda said, raising his voice.
"What? No! He didn't hit me! He would never hit me! My face is just sore because I was laughing and smiling so much," Katara said. "Dad needs to chill," She thought. Hakoda relaxed his shoulders and chuckled.
"Thank goodness. Sorry, I jumped to conclusions. Ever since what happened to you. I just can't help but worry," He said, a bit sad. Katara's face softened and she hugged her father.
"It's okay dad. I really do appreciate how protective you are. Just know that Aang isn't Jet and he would never hurt me. I love you," She said. Hakoda let out a faint smile and pulled away.
"I love you too, sweetie" Hakoda responded. Katara smiled and waved goodbye and went to her room. She grabbed her boyfriend's hoodie and wore it again. She flopped on her bed. Her thoughts were filled with the happy moments she spent with her boyfriend. After a couple of minutes, she felt her phone vibrate.
"I'm home. I miss you" Katara blushed and felt butterflies in her stomach.
"I miss you too. Whatcha doing?" Aang read the message and took a deep breath.
"I measured myself." Aang texted, blushing and feeling embarrassed.
"You did? Can I know? I won't judge I promise," Katara texted with a blush. Aang took another deep breath.
"A little under 7 inches,"
"Aang! You were insecure about that?! That's more than enough! It's anything, but small!" Katara texted. Aang's eyes widened and felt super relieved.
"Really? You think so?"
"Yes! I know so. You have nothing to worry about," She texted back. Aang felt so happy and relieved. He went to his room and started emptying his pockets. He found 20 dollars in his back pocket and raised an eyebrow, "what's this doing in my pocket? Must be my lucky day," he thought. He flopped on his bed and texted his girlfriend back.
"Thank you, Katara. You're the best,"
"Thanks. I had so much fun skating and flying on Appa, The food we had was amazing too. I love you so much" Aang smiled even wider and it hit him, "Wait! She put the 20 dollars in my pocket!" He thought.
"I love you too and I also had a lot of fun, but you're a sneaky Sphinx! You put 20 dollars in my pocket! Lol," Aang texted. He felt loved that his girlfriend cared so much about his financial well-being.
"What? Nooooo I didn't" Katara replied, trying to be innocent.
"So 20 dollars just so happened to appear in my back pocket? Lol, beautiful, I'm going to give it back tomorrow,"
"You better not! Just accept the money, sweetie, you deserve it."
"Hmmm, when did you sneak it in my pocket?"
"When you dropped me off and we hugged"
"You're sneakier than momo lol"
"I try lol. Is your meet for XC here?"
"No, it's at Woodward park."
"That park is beautiful! Can we stay after you run?"
"Of course! But I'll be stinky and sweaty afterward lol"
"I don't mind. You know I still have your hoodie"
"Oh yeah I completely forgot about that lol"
"I'm wearing it again. It smells ssoooooo good" she replied, causing Aang to blush.
"Really? What does it smell like?"
"Peaches, can I keep it? Pretty please"
"Katara! It's my only hoodie lol"
"I know, but I never want to take it off"
"Lol, can I have another picture? I need something for my lock screen" Aang requested. Katara smiled and sat up. She fluffed her hair and made sure to get good lighting. After several selfies, she finally was satisfied with the last one she took.
"Here you go (picture of selfie)"
"You look gorgeous! What did I do to deserve such a beautiful and loving girlfriend?" Aang texted, earning a huge blush on his girlfriend's face.
"By being a handsome and sweet boyfriend" She replied, causing her boyfriend to blush. Aang quickly changed his Lock Screen to the picture of his girlfriend.
"Thanks, I have to sleep now. Big day tomorrow. I love you so much"
"I love you too, good night"
"Good night"
Katara let out a sigh of happiness before getting up to turn off her light. After she turned it off, she flopped onto her bed with her thoughts filled with Aang. After 10 minutes she finally drifted off into sleep.
