Hi! This is my first fanficiton ever. It is inspired from a post I saw some time ago that made me tearbend. Hope you like it! Please don't hate me for my bad English as it is not my first language. I will write more stories so if you liked my style, stay tuned. More is coming!
Disclaimer:I do not own ATLA or the love this characters inspire.
"Dad, are you sure you know what are you doing? Tenzin was entushiastic all day long, but now that the moment to receive his master tattoos has come he is a little unsure. His father, the person he loves and respects the most, is going to apply the paint, as he is the only one who could do this. But Tenzin has some doubts…
"Don't worry. I grew up with the monks, remember?says Aang as he deepens the brush in the blue paint. I just have to…to… The Avatar starts to panic a little. He doesn't really know where to start. With a trembling hand, he puts the brush onto his son's back. Tenzin gasps and says furious:
"Dad, that hurts! You don't have any idea how to do this, do you?"
Aang is looking in horror at his son. "I am sorry, I am trying my best…but it has passed so much time." He feels so stupid and guilty! This was supposed to be one of the most wonderful days of Tenzin's life, and now he is going to ruin it all! How can he be such a failure? A tear appears in the corner of his eye.
Katara can see that Aang is troubled. She knows exactly what he is thinking, and she would want to go to confort him and tell him that everything will be ok. But, she knows she is not allowed up there until the ceremony gets to its finish. Katara looks at the Bumi and Kya. They didn't seem to notice the problem. She looks up at the stage again, just to see Aang turned his back to Tenzin. He looks like he is talking to someone… a little smile appears on Katara's face as she is looking at her beloved husband. She knows exactly who he is talking to.
Aang started crying, with hot tears dripping across his face. He can't ruin this day, he thinks to himself as he wipes the tears away. He has to concentrate. He takes the brush to Tenzin's back, in another attempt to draw the tattoos, but a hand stops him. He looks up and he sees Yangchen, with a crowd of another airbender avatars behind her.
"Let me."she says. "Look this is how you are doing it". The young Avatar cracks a smile as her hand guides his. Several minutes later, Aang finished.
"Thank you."he says to his past lifetime. But,she and the others are already gone. He looks up and sees his family. As Tenzin is stepping up, Aang makes a quick move and the good smelling smoke fills the room. Katara, with tears in her eyes, comes and hugs Tenzin,which is puling apart quickly.
"Mom, that hurts."He tries to look furious but he can't stop a giggling escaping through his mouth as his siblings come and hug him. Aang's heart is flying on a glider at the sight of his very happy family. He couldn't be more proud. As he is thinking about how lucky he is, Katara comes to her husband and pulls him into the most warm hug he had ever felt. Bumi, Kya and the new Master come to them and join to the hug.
The first one who is pulling apart is Bumi who asks concerned:"We are going to have cake, right?" Everyone laughs.
"You are really Sokka's nephew". Katara says thinking of her ever hungry brother. Aang giggles and says playfully:
"Let's have a race! If Tenzin wins, the kids can choose a cake. But…If I win…we will let your mom choose one!" Knowing that Katara will have a traditional water tribe cake, Tenzin knows he has to win. Either, they will eat a gross cake with meat and sea prunes!
I know that is not the best ending but I thought it was cute. SO, if you liked it, review or whatever cause I don't really know how this is working.
The post I was inspired from is from Otterpenguins on tumblr;)
