Chapter 2 Katara's mother
Prompt: comfort
It was a cool summer night and there was a slight breeze. The gang has camped out on a mountain ridge with a cliff on looking the sea below. Most of the guys have gone to sleep but Katara was still awake, sitting on the ground hugging her knees as she looked at the black sea, reflecting the stars' light. It was two days before Aang was supposed to fight the fire lord and she was all the more nervous; especially now that they were a couple. She was worried that she might lose him in the battle. She began to rethink her decision of telling Aang how she felt. Losing him as a boyfriend might be more painful than losing him as just a friend. Maybe she shouldn't have told him
"But it would still hurt either way if he dies…" her mind countered.
Katara looked away and closed her eyes tight, not wanting to think about the possibility
"You love him. Enjoy him while you can…" she told herself and sighed. She wished her mother was alive. She could give her advice about boys and about dating him. But alas, her mother was long gone…
She suddenly felt something touch her shoulder. She looked up to see Aang's hand on her shoulder and he looked at her with a concerned look on his face
"Are you alright Katara?" he asked
Katara sighed
"I just… I just wish my mother was alive… I'm still new to this whole couple thing and I'm still scared I'm gonna lose you. If she was still with us maybe she could give me advice about boys and about dating them…" she said
"But your mother is still with you Katara…" Aang said and Katara gave him a puzzled look
"She's in here you see…" Aang spoke softly and pointed at her heart
"She always will be…" he smiled at her and she smiled back
"Thanks for cheering me up Aang…" she said and embraced him into a hug
"That's what I'm here for…" Aang joked and Katara chuckled at his statement
"And don't worry about dating me… we'll be fine. I promise" he reassured her and smiled
They then separated from the hug and looked each other in the eyes and leaned in for a kiss. They put their arms around each other as the kiss deepened. Before long they were lying beside each other on the grass and cuddled up tightly as the night went on
"Hey Aang?..."
"Yeah Katara?"
"Thanks again for being there for me…" she smiled at him as he smiled too and kissed her hair as they rested in each other's arms feeling very happy indeed…
To be continued…
Sorry this was kinda short and sappy. I didn't have a very fleshed out idea for this one. Hopefully the next one will be longer. Either way, I hope you liked it.
Please review..
