YuexKatara: Yutara

Yue had never felt more helpless in her life. Her parents were keeping secrets, her fiancée only cared about her status, and a new love interest kept making her life harder. Of course there was also a war to concern her, not to mention her people's welfare. Or should she be more worried about the fate of the Avatar? Or perhaps be trying to make an alliance with the Fire Nation? Even when she prayed to the Moon Spirit, La, she felt like she was only talking to herself.

But the worst part of her current situation was the fact that she had a terrible crush. Every day she watched the Waterbender with such admiration that she was certain the other girl would confront her about it. Yue was slightly disappointed that she never did.

At the height of the sun, Yue would walk behind Master Pakku's school and hope that no one saw her. This was when Katara, the brown-haired bender, would practice her stances in the yard.

Today she stood with her head tilted back, eyes closed in the sunlight, doing nothing in particular. Yue peered from around the icy walls of the school. She shuffled closer.

The noise of her feet made Katara's eyes fly open in curiosity. She smiled at her spectator. "Hello, Princess," she said cheerfully.

Yue stammered, "Hello, Katara. I was just… coming to see how you were enjoying your training."

With almost a sigh, she said, "It's going well I guess. Master Pakku is a very grumpy old man, but I suppose you know all about that, don't you, Princess?"

Her wide blue eyes caught Yue off-guard. She stumbled for words again, "Ah, yes. He's grumpy and… old." She paused. "You don't have to keep calling me Princess. Yue is fine."

Katara patted the front of her coat, letting the powdery snow fall to her feet. "It's just, you're exactly like how a princess should be. Or, at least, how I always pictured one."

Yue blushed, "I'm sure you never imagined a girl with white hair."

She laughed, "Not exactly, but it fits you so well! Aang was just telling me how he thought we looked alike except for our hair color. I kept saying I'm not nearly as pretty."

Brushing off Katara's compliment, Yue asked, "Would you like to walk me back to the palace?" The Waterbender quickly agreed and took Yue's arm in her own, like an escort.

"You know, in the Southern Water Tribe there were no girls my age. I only had the older women and my Gran-Gran to talk to," said Katara. "It's a relief to know that I'm not a freak or something. Girls like me are around and actually want to talk to me."

"I feel the same way!" Yue blurted. "All the girls here are afraid to talk to me because I'm a princess. Or maybe it's because of the way I look. I think it frightens them."

The snow crunched beneath their moccasins as Yue silently berated herself for saying something so awkward. How could someone respond to a statement like that?

"That's weird," laughed Katara. "Are they afraid of flowers and babies, too?" They approached Yue's door without noticing. Katara was still joking about the Northern Water Tribe girls. "I didn't realize it was customary here to be afraid of things that were pretty. You're about as scary as a daisy!"

Yue smiled in spite of herself. "Maybe it's because we don't see a lot of flowers up here. Daisies are pretty frightening the first time they pop out of the ground," she giggled.

They unlinked their arms and Katara took a step back. It bothered Yue that they were no longer touching. And, although she was not in the habit of lying, she said, "You know, it's customary to kiss the princess goodbye." She was surprised by how quickly the words left her mouth. They didn't even sound like a lie.

"Oh, well, um… I guess I have a lot to learn," Katara replied. She leaned forward and quickly kissed Yue on the lips. They both felt much warmer, perhaps because of their now pinkish cheeks.

"I'll see you tomorrow then," Yue's voice was soft, but left no room for argument.

The Waterbender nodded, still slightly dazed. "Yes, tomorrow."

Watching her crush walk away, Yue could not help but be pleased. She was a princess, after all. Who had the right to make her feel helpless when she had conquered her terrible teenage hormones? Compared to that, everything else seemed easy to manage.
