Well writing this was sure fun...and long. I decided, just for fun, to make this a regular/song fiction. But don't worry, it won't be EVERY chapter, just whenever the time is right. So just because of legal reason, i don't own the song or the characters. Also, the funniest review was from 'A7XfoREVer' (Btw, bad ass name) talking about Linkin Park. But anyways, I'm not going to sit here telling you all the song i picked, 'is from the greatest band' or 'if you don't like this song, you're fucking gay'. It's a good song that i think is good, feel free to listen to the song. Also, if you know the song and i got the lyrics wrong, sorry, i got it off of a website . I'll do some more explaining at the bottom, but now on with the story :D
Katara sipped at her drink as the second band was finishing their set. Everyone else suffered through the songs of 'Armor Peanut'. Toph, Suki, Meng and her sat at a table in the back. It was awkward in the group because no one was really certain why Meng was still there, Aang had blown off all her advances and she still thought that Aang and Katara were together. "So Toph," Suki stopped their awkward silence, "You and Zuko…that's a little bit weird."
"Eh, I'm a weird type of girl," Toph laughed. "Plus he has a big-"
"Dick!" Zuko yelled at a guy who bumped into him, he set down a drink in front of Toph, "There you go Toph, I got to go up and play now." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and made his way through the crowd.
The girls burst out laughing as soon as he left, "Sorry, but that was great timing."
"Well I was going to say a big heart…but his dick is pretty nice," Toph joked. Zuko finally got up on stage and plugged in his guitar into his amp.
"How's your girlfriend Zuko?" Haru asked, covering the mic so that the conversation didn't go past them.
Zuko smiled slyly, "Good, how's yours?"
Haru's face dropped and shook his head, "Not cool man…" He took the mic of the stand and turned towards the crowd. "How's everyone feeling tonight?" The now even more packed crowd cheered in response. It always seemed that the fans converged whenever they would get ready to start a set. "Now, you all know our fantastic drummer correct?" They cheered again. "Well, he decided to pick one of our cover songs tonight, Falling Down by Atreyu." Aang pulled up a mic from behind the stage and put it on a stand close to his face. "As you all know, this is Aang's first time singing on stage so don't judge him…too bad…"
"I'll do better than your first time," Aang laughed into the mic, everyone laughed as Haru turned back to Aang.
"I can make sure it's your last time singing up here," He joked and placed the mic into the stand. "This is goes out to Zuko and his new girlfriend." Zuko shot him a look as Aang started to play:
Haru: You're always looking back
running from the past.
You're always sweating me
about the next big heart attack
you're looking over your shoulder
staring down the path
I'm falling down
falling down
falling down
Haru looked back at Aang, signifying for him to start:
Aang: It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
Haru smiled and turned back to the crowd:
Haru: I terrify me, images so horrible
(Zuko: so horrible)
To clear my thoughts
I drill a hole into my skull
clean up my brains
sweep them underneath the rug
I need them more than I needed
any other drug
I'm falling down
falling down
falling down
Aang: It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
(Zuko: dying in the end)
Dying in the end!
Crowd: Hey (x4)
Haru: Come on!
Toph watched as her new boyfriend started his solo and couldn't help but smile. She had never enjoyed one of their shows until now. This must be what Suki feels like every time she watches Sokka play.
Haru: I'm falling down!
Falling down!
Falling down!
Aang: It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
It's in your head
all the voices mistaken
(Zuko and Sokka: shake it off, shake it off)
We're all dying in the end
(Dying in the end)
Dying in the end
Crowd: Hey! (x2)
Haru: Shake it!
"Thank you everyone for coming out!" Haru put the mic on the stand. They all started to pack up their equipment as everyone started to leave. "Dude, only a couple more shows and then we can finally record an album."
Zuko unplugged his amp, "Haru, you have a fuck ton of money, why the hell do we have to make money off of shows?"
Haru smiled, "I'm glad you asked Zuko…"
Sokka and Aang chuckled, "Oh God, here he goes again."
"Think about it Zuko…anyone with money can use their money to make a CD, now, if we really worked hard at our music, got a lot of gigs, a big fan base, then our first CD will kill man!" Haru exclaimed.
Zuko put his guitar in its case, "Am I the only one that hates that idea just because it's completely unnecessary?"
"Nope," Aang laughed, "I really hate using this club's drum kit, it fucking sucks compared to mine; I haven't used a crappier snare since middle school. I'm sure if I did another drum roll on that thing it would fall apart."
"Don't worry man, once we're famous, you can have as many snare drums as you want," Haru told him.
"I'll only need one H-"
"Anyways, let's get going, I need a drink…and Aang needs a shirt." He laughed, patting Aang's head, "Maybe a shower also, you're all sweaty."
Aang was only in his shorts and shoes, "Okay, you try not to get sweaty when you play through the set and weren't you the one that said that I need a tough drumming part to make the songs sound better?"
Haru jumped down from the stage, "Sorry, can't answer you, need alcohol!" Zuko leaned his guitar case against his amp and turned back towards the front of the stage, only to have Toph jump at him. She wrapped her arms and legs around him and started to kiss him.
"Toph…what are you doing?" He asked as she kissed his neck.
She started to nibble on his ear lobe, "That got me so hot…I need you so bad."
Zuko chuckled, realizing how light his new girlfriend was and walked down the side of the stage, "Toph, we've been together for…I don't know, about couple hours and you already want to have sex again?"
Toph nodded, "I'm so wet right now."
"God Toph, I think I need to hose you down," He laughed again. Zuko flipped her around him, so he was giving her a piggy back ride.
"Man, you got to love young love," Sokka joked; he picked up his amp and slowly made his way across the stage.
Aang put his drum sticks in his waist band, "Please don't talk to me about love right now." He saw that Zuko left his stuff on stage, "Zuko, get your shit!" Zuko sighed and walked back to the stage, Toph still on his back, kissing his neck.
"Aw, you love my sister, just ask her out for real," Sokka nudged him lightly; a majority of his strength was being used up for caring his amplifier and bass.
"I already did Sokka…she just didn't answer me. It's hard not to be able to know she's mine even if we show each other romantic feelings," Aang sighed.
Sokka shook his head, "I don't want to hear this man, especially knowing how the girls get after the show."
He cocked his head to the side, "What do you mean?"
"Ever wonder why you don't see Haru and I about 2 hours after the show?"
"You two are most likely fucking."
He nodded, "Yeah, because all girls find it completely sexy when a good band plays."
"Really?"
Sokka laughed, almost dropping his amp, "No man, I'm fucking with you. I just don't want to hear about you and my sister. Girls like Haru for the money, Suki is like the only girl on the planet that likes sex more than a dude, and Toph has found an excuse to fuck a guitarist. Remember back in 10th grade when she admitted to finding guitarists sexy? I was just waiting for her and Zuko to hook up."
Aang smiled at the memory Sokka was talking about. He looked over and saw Meng and Katara over at the table, her gaze turned to him and she smiled. "So are we all just meeting at Haru's tonight?" Sokka nodded, "Okay, I'll see you all there then, I'm going to talk to your sister." He walked over to the table the girls were at and kissed Katara on the cheek.
"That was a great show babe," She told and gave him a hug, leaving a wet mark on her chest.
"Katara, I'm all sweaty," Aang tried to pull away. He noticed Meng hadn't taken her eyes off him.
She smiled, "Aang, it's been 3 months, I can handle a little sweat." Katara saw Haru talking to another girl at the bar. "Okay, well it looks like it's time to go. It's been nice seeing you again Meng, but it's time for Aang and I to get back to his house…maybe into a nice hot bath." Katara made a fake bubbly giggle.
Meng was secretly fuming inside, but put on a smile, "Have fun you two…bye Aaaang." Katara and Aang started to leave but were caught up by Zuko.
"Hey man, you forgot your shirt. Oh, and are you two coming to Haru's?" Aang and Katara nearly slapped the living shit out of him right there because they were still in ear shot of Meng.
"Actually, we were going to go back to my house, I'll text you later man," Aang told him, fighting the urge to head butt him. Zuko nodded and they left the club. As they walked out, they saw Sokka loading his stuff in Haru's car; Suki was waiting in the car for him. He smiled and threw his shirt onto his shoulder as they walked down the street. It was colder now that it was dark outside, but it still warm enough for Aang to keep his shirt off.
"You did great tonight," Katara told him. He smiled and grabbed her hand. Katara blushed a little bit and turned her face away.
"So were you joking about that bath or what?" Aang joked, making Katara blush furiously.
"You know what…sure, I need a bath," Aang's eyes went wide as she continued walking towards his house.
Aang sat in his bath tub, his heart was pounding in his chest. The hot water felt extremely good and relaxing, but he couldn't calm his nerves. Right now, Katara was in the other room ready to come into the bath with him. He had no clue Katara would actually say yes to this, but then again, he shouldn't have asked. Aang had put a wash cloth over his crotch, not wanting to be 'standing at attention' when she came into the room. He heard the door start to open and his breathing stopped. "Close your eyes," Katara teased from the other side of the door. He put his hands over his eyes. "Are they closed?" He grunted in response. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"I don't know, 4?" He guessed.
"I said 'close your eyes'!"
Aang laughed, "I got it right? I swear that was a guess."
"Fine, one second." He heard her shut the door and her feet shuffling across the bathroom floor. "Aw, you covered up."
"Yeah, I decided it would be weird enough for us to be bathing together as adults, so I made it less weird." He laughed; Aang felt her slip into the tub, the water rose a little bit and she lay back against him. His heart beat picked up as she took a relaxing sigh against him.
"You can open your eyes now, but no peaking," She laughed. Aang moved his hands from his eyes and his jaw dropped. Her naked bronze skinned body was against him; only a wash cloth was keeping him from being completely touching her. She giggled slightly, "Wow Aang, you haven't even seen me naked all the way and you're extremely hard." His blush almost spread to his whole body, he attempted to move back but Katara stopped him, "Don't be embarrassed, I take it as a complement."
"How many people do you say that to?" Aang joked.
Katara elbowed him, "I can get out…"
"No," Aang held her, "I'm just kidding." He didn't dare look past what he was already seeing of Katara. Her hair was out of the pony tail she had it in and was split in the back so it came down over her shoulders, covering her breasts. She had her legs up, one leg over the other.
"You know Aang," Katara started, "Even some couples don't even do this, relax in a hot bath, not giving into their sexual desires for the other person…"
Aang didn't really listen past 'relaxing'; he was too busy trying not to give into his animal instincts. Then he finally registered in his head the first part of her sentence. "So does this mean we are a couple?"
Katara's heart fluttered even faster. Not only was she naked in a tub with the one she loved, but she realized what she had said. Were they an actual couple now or weren't they? It's not every day she gets naked with her best friend, gets into a tub with him, and enjoy that he has an erection that is poking her back. While she was thinking, Aang had started placing light kisses on her shoulder, making her moan. Katara flipped around, she was now facing him, her breasts pressed against his chest. "Well…I had time to think about it, I want to be with you," She kissed his neck, "But I want something official, like a grand romantic gesture."
He smiled, "So are we an unofficial couple then?"
"Sure, I don't place my bare boobs on just anyone now do I?" She rhetorically asked.
"I just thought you were being nice," Aang joked, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Aang dried his hair with his towel when his cell phone started to buzz. He picked it up and flipped it open. It was a text from Zuko. He opened the message:
Zuko: You two coming over or what? Did you two finally fuck or something?
Aang: No, we just took a bath.
Zuko: DUUUUUUDE! Nice ;D you get lucky?
Aang: No dude, I still have to officially ask her out.
Zuko: Ask her out then! We can go on a double date tomorrow, lulz
Aang: Okay, I'm going to ignore that last part…we'll talk when we get there.
Zuko: Don't be a bitch! :D
Aang shook his head and pocketed his cell phone. Katara came into his room, dressed in her jeans but one of Aang's old 'Slipknot' shirts. He laughed at her, "What are you laughing at? I don't have any clothes here and your pants are too big for me."
"I thought you hated that band? You said, and I quote, 'They're too scary'," Aang wiped away a tear.
"Aang, that was like 4 years ago!"
"Still doesn't stop it from being funny," She hit him in the shoulder, "Damn, I think you need to stop hanging out with Toph, every time I make a joke you end up hitting me."
Katara smirked, "Well maybe you should stop joking because they aren't funny."
"Oh really now?" She nodded, Aang then tackled her onto his bed, making her scream. He got on top of her and held her arms down, "Now what?" Katara stuck her tongue out at him. "You're going to pay for that," He let go of her hands and started tickling the sides of her stomach, making her cry out in laughter.
"Aang! Stop! That tickles!"
He smiled, "That's the point of me doing it!" Aang continued as she laughed until her face turned red, he finally stopped letting her finally breathe.
Katara tried to push him off, "You dick."
"Aw don't be that way," Aang chuckled and leaned down and kissed her. He finally got off her, letting her up and she jumped on him. "I'm not ticklish Katara."
"I know, but I just wanted be here," She told him and kissed him, making them both fall back on the bed. Katara broke the kissed and hovered over him. Her wet hair surrounded his face like it was shutting off the rest of the world and it was now only them.
"Wow…"
"Hmmm?"
"I can't believe it took this long for me to actually tell you how I felt about you…" Aang told her, "You must think I'm completely dumb for not noticing what was between us."
Katara smiled, "Only a little bit…you can't put all the blame on you…I've liked you for the longest time, all those times when one of us would crash at each other's house, I wanted to go into your room and hold you so bad, it nearly hurt."
He brought his hands up and held her face as he kissed her, "We don't have to pretend anymore. It's you and me now, no more wondering, no more guessing." Aang flipped her over, now he was hovering over her. He kissed and nibbled at her neck, making her moan in response and held his head at her neck. All of a sudden the mood was killed by Aang's ringing phone. They both groaned and Aang grabbed it and flipped it open, "This better be good."
He heard music going on in the back ground and people talking, "Aang, get your ass over here, we're having a party. Some people want a live show!"
"Fine, give me like…10 minutes," Aang hung up the phone. "They're having a party at Haru's, you up for it?"
She sighed, "I guess, I wasn't planning on a party tonight."
"Well we're going to have another show also." Aang groaned a little bit.
Katara hopped off the bed and went into his bathroom, "That usually happens when you're the most popular band in town."
Aang grabbed some hair gel from his nightstand and spiked up his hair, "This is when we need to be playing bigger venues, like the amphitheater downtown or the concert hall."
"It will happen Aang, if anyone in this town can make it, it's you guys." She came out of the bathroom, tying her hair up in a pony tail again. "I heard 'Kyoshi Records' is coming to town in a month, looking for some new blood for their company."
Aang laughed as he went into the bathroom is wash his hands of the gel, "'Kyoshi Records'? Aren't they ones responsible for that Nirvana cover band that got booed off every stage they walked onto?"
"Yeah, but Suki now has ties with the brand now, her father just became a high up person in the company, he could give you guys a chance," Katara informed him.
"When in the hell did this happen?" He asked, sticking his head out of the bathroom, "Why were none of us informed?"
"Well Sokka…never mind, I just gave myself the answer…" Katara sighed disappointedly. "I need to attach a fucking notepad to him or something."
Aang turned off the bathroom light, "Yeah, I'll say something to him when we get there…more like kill him; you might become an only child tonight."
"Be nice…you ready to go?" She asked, putting on her shoes.
"Yeah," He grabbed his phone and flipped it open as he followed her out.
Aang: Zuko, Code Name: Roman
Zuko: Gotcha buddy ;)
They ended the last song, making the buzzed small crowd cheer in excitement. It was already 1 in the morning, but thanks to Haru's attempt to sound proofing his basement; it was barely loud enough to hear from the top floor of his house. Aang stood up from his stool and walked towards the stairs with his fellow band mates. "So Sokka, Katara told me that you were going to tell us that Suki's dad could get us a record deal." Aang said as they waited for the crowd to exit the basement. Zuko and Haru grabbed Sokka's arms. "Now you're going to pay."
Sokka's eyes got wide, knowing what Aang had planned, "Oh come on guys, not this, I swear I was going to remember to tell you."
"You know the deal Sokka," Zuko lifted the back of his shirt, "We've gone over this time after time, you need to tell us this kind of shit…now you got to get slapped." The group had a way of punishing Sokka whenever he forgot something he had to tell the band. Haru and Zuko would hold Sokka and lift up the back of his shirt as Aang slapped his back as hard as he could. He backed up a little bit and rubbed his hands together. "Oh this one is going to hurt."
"Please, I'll wash both of your cars for a month, just don't sl-AAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sokka yelled as Aang's hand connected with his back.
Suki turned her head slightly, "Did you hear that? It sounded like Sokka."
"It was," Katara told her, she poured herself some vodka, "He didn't tell the guys that your dad has ties in 'Kyoshi Records'."
She shook her head, "Poor Sokka, I'll have to ice his back tonight, Aang is really good at hitting your brother."
"Let's just hope he doesn't use that power on Katara," Toph joked, making both of the girls to turn to her. "What? It was just a joke…about domestic violence…against women…I'll shut up now." The guys came up the stairs laughing as Sokka seemed to be wiping away tears. Suki came to his aid and took him upstairs to help relieve the pain.
"Hey Katara, I want to show you something," Aang took her hand and started to take her to Haru's backyard.
"If you two are going to fuck, don't do in the yard, I still need to mow that shit," Haru laughed as Aang shot him a dirty look.
Before he opened the covered sliding glass door, he stopped Katara, "Now it's your turn to close your eyes." Her curiosity spiked at his request but covered her eyes anyways, playing along with what he was planning. He opened the door and led her outside, "Are you ready?" Katara nodded her head. "You sure? Because this is going to blow your mind."
"Yes Aang, I'm ready,"
"Open your eyes," Katara uncovered her eyes and looked in amazement. The backyard was lit up by tiki torches, rose petals were spread out on the pathway to Haru's fake waterfall, the red glow from the fire was reflecting off of the water. She stunned in amazement how Haru's regular backyard could be turned into this. Aang turned her around and he smiled, "Katara, will you be my real girlfriend?"
Katara looked back over her shoulder at the backyard, then back to him, "Of course I will Aang." His goofy smile got wider and him solidified their relationship in their first kiss as a official couple.
Well i hope you all liked it. Now, about the Toko...if you all have read my other stories, you know of my random relationships, Zulee, Tolee, Zin, and now this.
