Hello All, so there are two songs in this fic: A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold and I'm So Sick by Flyleaf. I happen to like both because they are pretty good songs, if you don't like it, that's your opinion and i respect your opinion that you actually listen to music. Now if you like the song, you get more of my respect because you listen to the same music as i do...well not Flyleaf that much...ANYWAYS, A little piece of heaven is a pretty fucked up song, so if you don't like fucked up, you're probably in the wrong place, but if you want to read, just skip past the first italic parts. I'll see you all at the bottom :D
The sunlight hit her in the eyes as she turned in her sleep. Katara rubbed her eyes as she woke up. Last night was one of the best nights in her life, Aang finally asked her out and all was well with her. She looked over and noticed that Aang wasn't there; he had gone to bed with her last night. She got out of bed and found her pants on the ground and put them on. Katara went down stairs and didn't find anyone, but she heard noise from the studio. Once she got down stairs she saw that everyone was set up at their instruments, Toph and Suki were on a couch facing the recording booths. "Good afternoon Katara, you made it just in time for them to start another song," Suki patted a space next to her. Katara sat down by her.
"They've been playing for at least an hour; we're surprised you haven't woken up by now," Toph said, "I even told Aang to play louder, see if he could make enough noise to get past the sound proofing."
"Hey Katara," Aang's voice came out of the speakers in the room, "You get enough sleep?" She nodded.
Haru laughed, "It's 1 in the afternoon, I hope she got enough sleep."
"What? It's 1?" She exclaimed and checked her phone, it was indeed 1. "I can't believe I slept in for that long, I have to be to work in an hour."
Sokka raised an eye brow, "You work at two? Why such a weird time?"
"I'm covering Mai's shift," Zuko winced a little at the name. Katara's phone vibrated, "Oh, speak of the devil."
Zuko scoffed a little, "More like 'speak of the slut'." Katara opened up the text.
Mai: Hey, you don't have to cover for me, Jet decided to break up instead of going on a romantic date…
Katara: :-/ sorry to hear that.
"Well Zuko, it looks like Mai got what she deserved, her and Jet broke up…and I don't have to go to work today!" She happily exclaimed. Toph looked at Zuko who now wore a happy face. "Okay, so what song are you guys going to play?"
Aang smiled evilly from behind his drum set, "A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold."
Katara laughed, "That's one messed up song Aang…also who will sing the girl part?"
"That's what we were debating," Haru told her, he looked back at Aang, he nodded at him, "Katara…how much experience do you have with singing?"
Her eyes went wide, "Oh no, no, no, no, you're not having me sing that song, I can't even sing."
"Oh yes you can Katara, I've heard you sing," Aang said, frustrating Katara.
"Come on Katara, we won't even record this one, we just want to try some stuff out…like girl singers, well, girlier singers that Haru," Zuko joked. Haru flipped him off from his booth. "No one here is going to judge you Katara, I swear."
"Yeah Katara, just once, please," Aang begged her, his cheerful smile finally got her.
She stood up, "Fine, what do I have to do?"
Haru came out into the room, "Well first we're going to you leave your cell phone out here, isn't that right Sokka?"
"That was one time!"
"Yeah, that was also the time I had to play an extremely hard drum part twice," Aang snapped at him.
Haru laughed, "Also, do you need to warm up your throat? Because that would really help."
"What did you just ask my sister?" Sokka yelled, making everyone laugh.
Katara pinched the bridge of her nose, "He means for singing Sokka and yeah, just give me a minute." She started going through vocal exercises as Zuko and Sokka tuned their instruments. Aang was a little bit more than excited, his long time best friend, now girlfriend, was going to sing with them and it just so happened to be one of his favorite band's song. Once she finished she came into the booth. It was split off into four rooms. One room was for Sokka and Zuko, one big one for Aang, and the rest of the two were for vocals. Katara's heart was going nuts as she stepped into the booth. Her brother gave her a thumbs up and smiled. She brushed a piece of hair behind her ear as she looked over and saw Aang. He gave her a wink, which didn't help her nerves as she tried to calm down. She put on the pair of head phones waiting for her and she could hear Haru.
"You guys ready?" Haru asked.
"Yeah buddy," Zuko answered.
"Yes sir," Sokka said.
"I'm ready." Aang said next.
There was a slight pause, "Katara? You ready?" She nodded, "Katara, are you nodding in there?"
"Oh sorry, yeah, I'm ready," She nervously said.
She heard Aang laughed, "Katara, just relax, close your eyes and pretend like you're in the shower, but just don't take off your clothes." Katara shot him a look from the booth as everyone laughed.
"Okay, well, Suki, hit the back ground instrumental please." Haru asked. There was silence until they all heard the piano, horns and strings start playing. Sokka, Zuko and Aang started playing as the beat began to pick up. Haru took a deep breath and began to sing:
Haru: Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time?
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what
God would never design
Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
something would go wrong,
before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you…
Almost laughed myself to tears (Zuko: hahaha)
conjuring her deepest fears
(Sokka: come here you fucking bitch)
Aang: Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy
The Guys: Eat it, eat it, eat it!
Haru: She was never this good in bed
even when she was sleeping
now she's just so perfect I've
never been quite so fucking deep in…
it goes on and on and on,
I can keep you looking young and preserved forever,
with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
let's make a new start
'cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah, yeah…
but baby don't cry
Now possibilities I'd never considered,
are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved
Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears (*Katara laughing*)
Aang: Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy
The guys: Eat it eat it eat it
Haru: Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave
I gotta make up for what I've done
'Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
while you burned in hell, no peace forever
'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, We fell apart
Let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry
I will suffer for so long
(Katara: What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(Katara: I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Katara: Well then I'll grant you a chance)
And if it's not enough
(Katara: If it's not enough, If it's not enough)
If it's not enough
(Katara: Not enough)
Try again
(Katara: Try again)
And again
(Katara: And again)
Over and over again
(Katara: Over and over again)
The guys: We're coming back, coming back
We'll live forever, live forever
Let's have a wedding, have a wedding
Let's start the killing, start the killing
Sokka: Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(Katara: Yes, I do.)
Sokka: Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(Haru: I do.)
Sokka: I now pronounce you...
Haru and Katara: 'Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry
You had my heart, at least for the most part
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let's make a new start
'Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry…
Katara took a deep breath as the song ended, everyone applauded her. "Wow Katara, that was amazing, you sounded just like the song." Aang told her. She smiled as she came out of the vocal booth. "Whoa, Katara, you need to sing another song."
"Uh hell no, I barely made it through that, I'm not going to sing again," She almost left, but Aang got out of his set up and caught her.
He smiled his goofy smile that made her heart flutter again, "Katara please, we all think you're a great singer, right guys?" They all nodded. "I swear this is the last song we'll have you sing…today."
She groaned a little, "Aang, I don't-" He cut her off with a kiss that almost made her legs turn to jelly. Aang placed another small kiss on her lips after breaking the first one. "…I guess I can do one more song." He smiled and returned to his drums.
"Okay, now that the romantic part of our recordings is over, Katara, what song do you want to do?" Haru asked.
"What about, I'm So Sick by Flyleaf?" Katara asked.
Haru smiled, "Yeah, just let me get out of here." He exited his booth and went into main room with Toph and Suki. He sat down in the chair in front of the sound board. Just then, Haru got an idea. "Okay guys, whenever you're ready." He hit the record button and laughed.
"I'm pretty sure this is a horrible idea…but I can't turn away," Suki whispered to Toph. Sokka turned on his effects peddle and started playing:
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it! I'm screaming it!
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
And this invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so
I'm so sick
I'm so
I'm so sick
Once the song ended Haru stopped the recording, "Wow, someone might be taking my job as lead singer."
Sokka unplugged his bass, "Whoever said might? I put my vote in saying my sister should replace you."
"I'm not replacing Haru, this is was just a onetime thing," Katara told them.
"Bullshit it is," Aang said as they all left the booths. "You can't just waste talent like that Katara."
"He's got a point Katara," Suki told her, "You may not have the confidence for it, but you sure do have the voice."
Everyone seemed to like her singing, but Katara couldn't help but be nervous when it came to singing. They all went up stairs, Haru went to the kitchen, Sokka, Suki, Zuko and Toph went to the living room, while Aang and her stood by the door. "Did you really think my singing was that good?" She asked.
Aang nodded, "The best girl singer I've ever known." Katara smiled and gave him a kiss. "Now, I'm going to go take a shower…because I'm all sweaty."
Katara smiled seductively, "How about I join you?" His face lit up. Aang picked her up and put her on his shoulder. He ran through the house with her laughing. "Aang! Put me down! We can just walk!" They went past the group that was sitting on the couch.
"Hey, where are you two going?" Zuko asked. Aang stopped and thought about it for a minute.
"We're going to…shower…together?" Aang told him, wondering why he couldn't come up with anything.
Zuko looked at him funny, "Why did you say it as a question?"
"I don't know…" He told him, still thinking about it. "Anyways, yeah…we're going to go shower."
"Wait," Zuko stopped him, "When are we going on that double date?"
Katara looked over at Zuko, "What double date?"
Aang set her down, "Zuko wants to go on a double date, you, me, him and Toph."
"Whoa, when was I going to be informed about this?" Toph asked.
"And why weren't Suki and I asked to go on a double date?" Sokka questioned.
Zuko sighed, "Because some us just got into a relationship Sokka."
"I'll go on a double date that sounds great,"Katara happily announced, "Where and when?"
Aang looked at Zuko and he looked back. "Um…how about tonight?"
"I'm down." Zuko replied.
"Am I even going to get a say?" Toph asked.
Zuko put his arm around her, "Come on Toph, you know you want to go on a double date tonight. We can even go to the old 50s diner you like so much." She looked away, trying not to give in to him. "Come on…you know you want to."
Toph crossed her arms, "Fine." He kissed her on the cheek, making her blush.
"Okay, well Aang and I will just go and get ready then," Katara checked her pockets to make sure she had everything. "Oh, Sokka, remember that you have to call mom tonight, we're going over there tomorrow." He grunted in response. She took Aang by the hand and started for the door. "See ya Haru!"
Aang trimmed the scruffy hair that was on his face as Katara showered. He winced a little bit as he nicked his skin and it started bleeding a little bit. Aang grabbed a wash cloth and cleaned up the bit of blood. "Aang, are you still in here?" Katara asked from the steam filled shower.
"Yeah?"
"Well…could you…leave?" She asked.
Aang wiped off the rest of his face with the towel and admired his handy work in the mirror, "Is it because this is a little fast for the relationship?"
"Not really…I mean, we've been friends for years, so this is the right step up…but I kind of wanted to take care of something," She awkwardly said as she shut off the water.
"Oh, is it 'that time'?" Aang asked.
"Did you just ask if I'm having my period?" Katara shouted.
He quietly smacked himself, "Well I thought that's what you were getting at because I can't think of anything else."
Katara stuck her head over her fogged up shower door, "If you must know…I was going to, um, well…landscape…"
Aang's eyes went wide and his face went red, "L-landscaping?" She nodded. "Well…I guess I'll just...oh, that must be my phone." He exited the bathroom awkwardly not wanting to push the issue further. Even if they have been friends for many years, he still was awkward about talking about those kinds of things with her. He heard his phone start vibrating and grabbed it. It was a message from Zuko.
Zuko: Hey buddy…change of plans…
Aang: No Double Date?
Zuko: ….you can say that….
Aang: What's wrong Zuko?
Zuko: Meng found out…
Aang: How the fuck did Meng find out!
Zuko: She came over a little bit ago, looking for you. Toph told her that you and Katara are getting ready for our double date…
Aang: Zuko…
Zuko: And then they got to talking…
Aang: God Damn you Zuko!
Zuko: And she is coming along…
Aang repeatedly hit his head against the wall while silently cursing.
Aang: You two are the worst couple…of all time.
Zuko: So now it's a Triple Date…
Aang: Wait, so she's bringing someone? Who?
"Lu Ten, I fucking hate you," Zuko growled at his cousin, the girls were all in the bathroom while the guys were at the table.
"Aw, don't be that way cuz," Lu Ten smiled, "Besides, when the last time we all got to hang out?"
Aang sighed, "The time when you cock blocked the whole band when we played at our 10th show."
"Don't be that way Aang," He put his hand on Aang's shoulder, "Plus, no one was getting laid at that party, nothing but a bunch of skanks there anyways."
Zuko slapped his cousin upside the head, "You do realize that our dates tonight were there right? Plus, that was the night I was going to tell Toph about how I felt about her."
"It's not my fault that you couldn't capitalize until a couple days ago Zuko."
"You told every girl there that you helped pay for our…how did he put it Aang?" Zuko asked.
"He paid for our 'dick medication so they wouldn't fall off due to our STDs'," Aang said monotone.
Zuko turned to his cousin, "That's kind of why we don't want to hang out with you Lu Ten. How did you even come in contact with Meng?"
"She just randomly asked me out just a couple hours ago, which is an amazing coincidence, don't you think?" Lu Ten asked. Aang shot a look to Zuko.
"Yeah Lu Ten," Aang sarcastically replied, "That is an amazing coincidence, right Zuko?" The girls came back to the table, saving Lu Ten from Aang beating him repeatedly over the head with the napkin holder. Katara sat across from Aang; Toph was across from Zuko and Meng across from Lu Ten. Aang leaned over to Katara, who followed his suit and leaned in also. "What is with you girls going to the bathroom together?"
Katara sighed, "It's not like I wanted to, didn't you see Meng drag us both there? All she did was talk about Lu Ten."
"Hopefully they get together…and fucking jump off a bridge," He muttered.
She hit him, "Aang, don't say that."
"What are you guys talking about over there?" Meng asked, obviously wanting the attention over at her.
"We were talking about…how great of a couple you and Lu Ten are," Katara quickly covered.
Meng smiled, "I know right? It's like we were made for each other or something, right Lu Ten?"
"Of course," He put his hand on hers, but she quickly pulled away.
"I'm sorry Aang; it wouldn't have worked out with us you know? I know how much we liked each other, but Lu Ten and I are together now," Meng told him.
"Meng, where do you get your weed?" Zuko asked.
She gave him a weird look, "What do you mean Zuko?"
'Because you must be high as fuck to think he likes you,' Zuko thought. "Oh, nothing, just a little joke."
A waitress came with six burgers and fries, "Here you all go; six regulars." Toph licked her lips and rubbed her hands together as a burger almost as big as her hand was set down in front of her. The burger joint was known for its big burgers.
"I'm going to devour the living crap out of this burger," Toph said as she took a big bite out of the burger.
Aang laughed, "Toph, you really have a problem with meat."
"Yeah, it would make my brother jealous," Katara joked. Toph ignored them and continued eating.
It was silent as everyone ate, but was broken by Meng's annoying voice, "So Aang, how are you and Katara doing?" Aang let out a deep breath, knowing this was going to be the longest date he will ever be on…
Aang sat on top of a park table with Katara sitting in front of him, his arms wrapped around her stomach as they watched the sun set. They got away from the 'Triple Date' when Katara faked a stomach ache, as did Zuko, so they got away from the group and went their separate ways. He felt good, finally being able to just share silence with Katara. They didn't need to talk; they just enjoyed each other's presence. "Aang?"
"Hmmm?"
"So you know when the band starts touring?" She asked.
Aang laughed, "If we ever start touring."
"You guys are famous enough around here to tour, anyways, what will happen with us?"
He looked at her, she was still looking towards the sunset, "What do you mean? We'll still stay together."
"But what about not seeing each other? There will be other girls prettier than me-" She stopped when she heard him start laughing, "Why are you laughing?"
"Because there are no other girls prettier than you Katara," He told her.
Katara scoffed, "There are millions of girls prettier than me Aang."
"Katara, the only girl that matters to me, is you. You're all I need and you're the only beautiful girl in my life," Aang kissed her on the cheek, "Now enough of this sad talk, we just got together and we should be happy it happened." She leaned back against him for a little bit, enjoying the silence.
"But Aang," He sighed, "Are you going to miss me when you're on tour?"
"Of course I will Katara; I will miss you like crazy. Why do you keep asking this stuff Katara?" Aang wondered.
"It's just…remember how my Dad went overseas for the Iraq War? I missed him so much because he was my father. But you're my best friend and boyfriend, so I don't know if would you actually miss me," She confessed.
Aang laughed again, "Katara, you know I would miss you like crazy, remember when you guys went and vacationed in Mexico?" Katara nodded, "I literally awaited every text you sent me, it was like a piece of me was gone. Even though that may be how it is when I leave…I know that I'll have you waiting for me when I come back."
Katara gripped his hands, "Aang, I hope you never change…you're the most perfect boyfriend ever."
"And you're the most perfect girlfriend."
