Chapter 4 anniversary

Aang opened his eyes to see the roof of the tent he shared with Katara. He looked to his side to look at her sleeping figure and smiled; he reached out his hand and stroked her hair as she smiled in her sleep. He kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear

"Happy anniversary Katara… I love you…" he said as he continued to caress her cheek and hair and got out of the tent. He looked around him and saw that dawn has yet to break. He looked to his right and observed the big volcano that stood there and got lost in his thoughts. A little more than a year ago he wanted to climb a volcano to obtain a special object to give to a very special person but wasn't able to. Now that he was next to a volcano he had that chance again and he couldn't pass it up. So he walked to the base of the volcano and began to climb. Within minutes his limbs burned with every time he pushed himself up a pile of rocks. An hour later he reached the top. He gazed at the mouth of the volcano and was relieved to see it was empty. He looked around for the object he was looking for and within minutes he spotted it on one of the edges of the mouth of the volcano. He picked it up and began to climb back down the mountain. By the time he got there the sun was beginning to rise. He then walked into his tent and took out a small vase and took it with him to a nearby river. He filled it up and placed the small object in the watery vase. Aang then made his way back to his tent and placed the vase in its corner. He then got back into his sleeping bag and went back to sleep. The next thing he knew he saw Katara sitting on her sleeping bag and was combing her hair while humming softly

He sat up and looked at her. He liked it when she combed her hair because he liked her hair and he enjoyed seeing her take care of it. After a few moments of silence he spoke

"Morning Katara" he said softly and the girl turned to look at him

"Morning Aang. How'd you sleep?"

"I slept okay. How about you?"

"I slept great"

"Good" said the boy and after a few seconds of an awkward silence he reached for the side of his bag and presented the vase

"Happy anniversary Katara…" he said happily and smiled widely. Katara's eyes widened at the sight of the gift

"A panda lily…" she said with joy

"It's our first anniversary as a couple so I thought I should get you something…" said Aang shyly as he shrugged and blushed

Katara's smile widened at his words

"That's really sweet of you Aang… thank you…" she said and took the vase from his hands and inhaled the flower's scent

"It's beautiful…" she said and beamed at him with joy. She set it down beside her and wrapped her arms around Aang's neck and gazed at his eyes

"This is one of the things that make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world…" she said happily into his eyes as they both smiled

"I feel like the luckiest guy in the world just by having you with me…" said the boy as they both smiled happily at his remark and closed the gap between their lips. They pressed their lips against each other as they savored the moment. Aang placed his hand in Katara's hair, getting drunk from its blueberry scent as she got drunk from the happiness and excitement the kiss sent through her body. When they desperately had to breathe they separated from the kiss and leaned their heads on each other…

"I love you…" said Katara softly

"I love you too…" replied Aang as he kissed her again briefly

"I always will…" he said happily as they both leaned backwards and cuddled up on their sleeping bags only to soon be taken away by a happy sleep…
