It…

Wow.. this was a really random one. I was just really bored and thinking all my silly romantic thoughts when I thought about my own life and something that had been buggin me… I guess its pretty good seeing how I just wrote it… might be interesting if it actually happened..

Sure it had been fun, it had even felt nice for a while. Then, she just didn't feel the same way as she did before and she had ended it. There had been some time of tension after that. The silence, the embarrassment until it all was forgotten and went "down the drain".

Now they were back to being friends. FRIENDS.

Or that was what it was supposed to be like. But he still thought that they were more than friends. After the period of awkwardness, he had started the hug-phase. Whenever he wanted to greet her, a hug, a smile, a touch, a poke. It had been ok at first, but he kept up with it and it seemed that the personal space she could once rely on had betrayed her.

She wanted him to stop. Aang was a good boy. She knew it. Despite her previous feelings for the boy, she still loved him like a mother. But he had to stop. She was tired of the hugs, the pokes, everytime they greeted each other, or just out of the blue the tattooed arms wrapped around her.

She didn't like anyone else either. She was a water bending master. Independent. Resourceful and strong.

Katara shook her head as the thoughts she had kept suppressed for so long flooded her memory. Sure she had gone out with Aang for a few months. She would never forget the fun times they had together, all the emotions that had coursed through her, all the trust and overwhelming love. But now, all she wanted was to be on her own. She didn't need any men around her more than what she had to put up with everyday, be it her brother, her water bending pupils (which consisted of Aang), or Zuko

"Hey Katara!" she didn't even need to look around as the familiar voice filled her ear and the blue arrows wrapped around her… "I was wondering what we're gonna do today in class. I think I nearly got my fog down, but I wanna start on using the water in the plants soon."

"That sounds good. I'll see it later today in class…" she paused before continuing, "Hey Aang, you know, you don't have to hug me every time you see me…" no reaction "You know, you don't even need to touch me unless if I don't respond when you call me.. 'Kay?" Katara sighed as she finally told the air bender her requests.

Aang stood shocked for a second before regaining his composure again. "Sure Katara, Why didn't you tell me before? If it was bothering you, I'd have stopped…" He struggled to find the next words. "Yea.. Hey! I was so caught up with asking you about water bending; I forgot Toph told me to get ready for practice… Bye Katara." The young air bender ran off towards the clearing where Toph was breaking up rocks out of impatience for her pupil.

She really doesn't like me anymore. I thought that when it happened... But then she… I never realized that she really meant it when we 'broke up'… She doesn't want to get back together either.

Katara relaxed as the avatar ran towards his class. It was a big relief to tell him everything that had kept her bothered for so long. He had handled it better than she had thought he would too. A little upset, but on the whole rather decent. At peace with her mind once again, Katara headed towards the camp to check on the supplies…

Inside the trees, two golden eyes flashed and a sigh escaped the man's lips, "yes…"
