Nope…still don't own Avatar: the Last Airbender. (Darn…) Just so you know, I'm doing this in past tense since it's easier. Sorry if I confused you during the last chapter; I thought that it'd be better if I used present tense, but I used past tense during the flashback. Okay…nobody ever reads these author's note things anyway, so I'm just going to present to you Chapter 2. (unintentional rhyme)

Aang sat on the couch in the living room. It was huge. The whole house was huge! He was living in luxury in Ba Sing Se, to put it mildly.

His job was done. He defeated Ozai, the war was over, and everyone could just be happy again.

Aang was especially happy because now he had a girlfriend. The kiss on the balcony was a week ago.

Speaking of which…Katara walked into the room and sat beside him. "Good morning," she chirped, smiling.

He smiled back. "Good morning," he replied, hugging her and kissing her cheek.

She giggled. "Aang…what are you—doing?"

"I love you," was his answer. He put his head on her shoulder.

Her smile grew bigger. "I love you, too." She hugged him back.

Aang reached and brushed Katara's fingers with his own, silently asking if he could hold her hand. She laced her fingers with his and kissed his cheek. He was just too adorable.

They were silent for some time. They cuddled contently while everyone else in the house slept.

After a while, Aang dozed off.

Katara smiled at the sleeping boy and kissed the arrow on his forehead. She rubbed his back slowly, caringly as he slept.

It made her think about what a great week it was since the balcony kiss. Every day with Aang was amazing. Aang was amazing all by himself. He was smart, funny, strong, handsome, sweet, and caring at the same time. She knew that they would be together for the rest of their lives. She loved him way too much to ever think about leaving him. It was amazing.

Soon, the rest if the group started to wake up. Sokka (unusually) was the first one to wake. He found the pair and smiled softly. "You know," he said, "I never thought I'd see my little sister with anyone, but…Aang is one heck of a guy. I'm happy for you."

Zuko was next. He tripped on his way to the living room, and the rather loud THUD woke Aang up.

"What happened?" he asked.

Zuko walked in. "I tripped," he grumbled.

"Are you okay?" Katara asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Zuko replied. "How long have you guys been up?"

Aang shrugged. "Couple hours, maybe?"

Sokka raised an eyebrow. "I hope you weren't h—"

Aang's and Katara's eyes widened. "NO!" they replied in unison.

"Sokka, I'm thirteen!" Aang said, shocked.

"Well, you're 113, first off," Sokka said, "being a teenager, your hormones—"

"Sokka, stop it!" Katara snapped. "We don't need health education at nine in the morning!"

Sokka laughed. "Health education! Wow, Katara, suddenly you're above saying s—"

"Leave them alone, Sokka," Suki said from behind them. "Do you really think that Aang and Katara would be doing something like that this young? I'm surprised. They're your little sister and your best friend—for crying out loud, don't you trust them?"

"I do trust them, it's just—" Sokka fumbled for words.

"Come on, you're just cranky because you didn't eat yet," Suki said, babying Sokka. "Let's go have breakfast."

Aang and Katara (both red as tomatoes) sighed in relief.

"That was torture," Aang said.

Katara nodded in agreement. "Come on," she said, pulling him up, pecking his lips. "Let's take a walk before Toph wakes up."

A shy smile came to his lips. "O-okay."

She smiled "You're so adorable." She squeezed his hand as they left the house.
