A/N: Here is entry 3/7 for Kataang week. This prompt is for Wednesday July 23rd 2014 - Rainy Days
She heard the rain before she heard him. It wasn't a storm, just raining buckets outside, the rain pouring down on the clay roof. The sound was simple and familiar, and before she opened her eyes a smile crept across her full lips before humming softly. She opened her eyes and the room was dark, given it was about seven in the morning. Her head lifted and per the usual, the other side of the bed was empty. She rolled onto her back and stretched, wondering how he was liking the rain. She didn't have to wait long, hearing his wet footsteps down the hall and go into the bathroom. She rested and looked out the window, watching the water run down the window.
The sound of a door sliding open and then closed made her turn her head. Aang caught her eyes and smiled. She grinned.
"Have fun meditating in the rain?" She teased, the crown of his head and shoulders red from the pressure. He slipped his hash off and kicked his shoes off.
"I couldn't clear my mind. It's coming down so hard it's painful after a little while." He said, adjusting his pants and making them looser.
"I can see that, your head and shoulders are red, and your back. Want me to kiss it better?" She said and wiggled her eyebrows making him chuckle. He came over to the bed and hopped on top of her, straddling her and lacing their fingers together.
"You know…" he said and smirked.
"What?" She asked out of curiosity.
"I had nothing scheduled today anyway. And with the heavy rain, there really nothing to do but stay inside and torture you all day."
She bit her lip and a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes that she didn't catch. Playfulness?
"Torture, huh?"
"Well, I mean…" He took her hands, fingers laced, and pressed them into the pillows on each side of her head. He hovered over her. "We're in the Avatar's house all alone. No one neighbors us. Even if they did I doubt they could hear you scream over the rain."
"Oh you think you can make me scream?" She challenged and he laughed, leaning down to her ear.
"I know I can." She whispered and kissed the side of her neck, giving her the best shivers down her spine. She just laughed and he hovered over her again. They looked into each other's eyes for a while smiling.
"Do you think we'll ever grow up?" she asked thoughtfully.
"I hope it never comes to that." The teen said back and kissed her softly.
She hummed against him and he slowly slid off her, laying beside her and watching her curl against his chest.
"Maybe a day inside won't be so bad."
"Even if it's full of torture?" He asked and she sprang into action, swinging a leg over his body and straddling him. She steadied herself by holding his chest and smiled down at him.
"Give it your best shot, Mater Arrowhead."
