Author's note
Hey guys I am finally finishing my story. This is the last chapter for my first Fanfic. This chapter is going to be filled with Kataang fluff and puff. Hope you like that.
I know that the whole Atla series is relatively old but for some reason I just got hooked to it( after Korra). I seriously didn't think this story would drag along for 5 chapters (including prelude chapters), but thanks to your encouragement and support here I am with one complete story. Thank you for giving me your support.
I DO NOT OWN THE AVATAR SERIES
Previously on Kataang confession;
Aang hurt Katara by saying that he was involved in a romantic relationship with another girl. Aang brings Katara out to a fine dining restaurant to confess his love.
Aang slowly stood up and took in a deep breath to walk towards her, when he heard a girl from the back calling out something that made his blood freeze.
"Kuzon? Is that you?"
Aang turned around and gulped at the uprising complications
Aang turned around to look at a young teenage girl of his same age smiling at him. She had shiny black hair that extended until her shoulders. Her porcelain white skin glowed in the soothing orange light in the restaurant. She looked very attractive for her age. Aang was able to decipher the identity of the person from her voice itself. There was only one girl in the universe who knew him by the name Kuzon. It was none other than On Ji.
Aang could not believe what he was seeing, as On Ji was the last person he wanted to see this night. Aang who was confused top to bottom was totally bewildered at her presence. His eyes widened wondering why fate had to be so cruel to him, by making things harder than it is currently.
Katara who watched them from the corner, looked at On Ji for a second and looked away, with hurt emotions overwhelming her. She fiddled with her hair nervously.
On Ji on the other hand who had no idea what was going on smiled friendly at Aang and teased him, "or should I call you Avatar Aang? Hmm" Aang smiled nervously and slowly bowed to greet her when she grabbed his hands and gave him a friendly hug. Though On Ji had no romantic interest in Aang, it was definitely interpreted in a different way by Katara. A thin layer of tears formed on her eyes as she watched with agony.
Aang cursed Sokka's idea once again under his breath. Aang gently pushed On Ji back and looked her in the eyes to tell her about his plans but controlled himself seeing looking at her face twisting. She looked at him quizzically, "Aang don't you remember me? I am On Ji. I was your classmate before the invasion..."
Aang smiled uncomfortably and thought of a quick response to her question to prevent her from getting hurt,
"Hi On Ji ... ahem...How can I forget you? Now… I …you" Aang desperately tried to explain the situation but failed miserably. He slowly buried his neck into his shoulders in disappointment.
On Ji who was relieved hearing that looked at him and smiled teasingly, "so Aang I am hearing that you are the latest buzz in all girl fan clubs. Is it true?" Aang forced a smile and constantly glanced at Katara.
On Ji who noticed, him fiddling with a pink letter snatched it from his hands playfully and scanned through the letter. Her ecstatic smile vanished and was now filled with a pure state of confusion. She slowly looked back at Aang in disbelief.
Aang who desperately tried to get it back from her gave up and dropped his face on the table. Katara could not bear the pain that was tearing through her. She stood up and rushed out of the restaurant with her hands covering her mouth. Aang's heart cried out fearing she got the wrong message.
On Ji shook her head to come back to reality and spoke, "Aang, weren't you in love with your lady friend…Katara or someone? I never knew you liked me this much." Still shocked from the letter
Aang took in a deep breathe, let a short yelp and began, "On Ji I am so sorry but my friends thought of this wicked plan to make Katara jealous to make her confess to me. They decided to use your name… as my imaginary girl friend. I am not saying I am sad meeting you... its just that this was not planned for tonight. This was not what I had in my mind when I wanted to confess to her. Now everything is so messed up... Please help me!"
On Ji's confused stare turned into a face of concern and she started, "Aang, why would you do such a cruel thing to your best friend. After all you two been through you should have never done this. Please try to understand that. Now go and spill out your true emotions, before she does something…" placing her hand against Aang's shoulder reassuringly. Aang who was surprised by her understanding thanked her and rushed out in search of Katara.
Katara ran out and stood by the gentle river that was flowing behind the restaurant. She leaned over the cobble stone ledge looking at her reflection in the water. Droplets of tears created distortions on glasslike water surface. The moonlight shined brightly painting the night in pale blue. Everything was beautiful. However, seeing Katara cry made the whole night feel sad for her. Her tears stained her cheeks. After her mother, Aang was the first one she had fallen in love with and fate repeated itself by removing Aang from her life. Her heart and her head were spinning with painful memories that they both spent together. Katara thought aloud, "if only I hadn't met him."
"Met who?" came the gentle voice of Aang from behind her.
Katara brushed away the tears that were sloping down her cheeks and looked back at him, "Aang you are not supposed to be out here."
Aang smiled and walked towards her. Katara sensed Aang's arms snaking around her from the back. Aang hugged her soothingly. Though Katara felt immensely good about being hugged by Aang, she knew it was not right. She shrugged him away forcefully and said, "Aang what are you doing. I know I am your best friend, but you are not supposed to do this to another girl." facing away from Aang while saying it.
Aang wiped the tear stains gently and placed his arm around her shoulder affectionately. This made Katara burst into tear, "Aang how many times do I have to tell you. You are not supposed to do this to someone you don't love. When you are on a date you are supposed to be with your date not me."
Aang looked her in the eyes and whispered softly, "I am with my date"
Katara's solemn look turned into state of confusion. She desperately searched his wise gray eyes for an answer but found nothing. She sighed and spoke, "Aang, please don't try to reassure me by saying you love me. I know you don't. Honestly, why would you even like me? I am just a common water tribe peasant. There are so many more women who are younger than me willing to throw themselves at you." She said with tears still flowing out.
Aang who was shocked at his response turned her to face him and spoke, "Katara, I have NEVER looked at you with such a simplistic mind. You are the most caring and kindest person I have ever met. You have always stood by me to help me when I needed. If not for you, I would still be in that chunk of ice. You freed me. To be honest I was fighting the war not because it was my duty but for you. Every time I look into your eyes, I feel as if I am being I am being taken to another universe. You are the most beautiful girl I have seen in my entire life."
Katara's eyes were now filled with tears of joy. She turned to look at him straight in the eyes. Her beautiful blue eyes glistened in the moonlight. "What do you mean Aang?"
Aang sighed and confessed, "Katara, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have loved you since the day I met you. I have been trying to tell you this for a long time. The truth I love you Katara. Always have and always will ..." before Aang finished he realized that something warm was applying a light pressure on his lips. Katara threw her arms around his neck. What at first seemed like a normal peck on the lips soon grew into a deep and passionate kiss. Both of them melted into the kiss that made the all the previous Avatar's spirits to die out of jealousy. A kiss that would reduce the number of girl fan clubs by half. After what seemed like an eternity, they slowly broke the kiss to breathe. Katara said out boldly, "I love you too Aang" with a small tint of redness growing in her cheeks.
Katara's jubilant smile suddenly shriveled. She probed in a perplexed tone, "I still don't understand one thing. Why did you say you liked On Ji?"
Aang smiled sheepishly and said, "Well, I was a bit scared of confessing to you so I asked Sokka for confessing tips. This whole thing was his plan. However, meeting On Ji wasn't exactly part of the plan. I know I should not have followed his advice but it is not as if I had many options. I am extremely sorry for hurting you Katara."
Katara smiled evilly and smirked, "A sorry wont be enough Avatar. Both of you would have to pay for the devious crime that you committed." Aang played along and asked, "What would that be my dear water bending Master?"
Katara continued, "The Avatar must kiss me, while my brother would have to face my water bending prowess head on"
"I love this punishment!" Aang said as he planted another kiss on her rosy lips. At this point, both of them didn't care about Sokka, as they were both too interested in their partners. Both of them giggled as they made their way to their house with their fingers interlocked.
Meanwhile back at the house Toph, Suki and Sokka were sitting at the porch, waiting for them. Out of a sudden Toph jumped up and signaled the others, "They are coming" Sokka who was anxiously waiting for them, stood up as he saw them coming up to the front of their houses, holding hands. The red glow in their faces was obvious despite the low lighting present. Sokka heaved a sigh of relief, predicting the happy conclusion that was obvious from the faces.
Katara came close to Sokka and whispered into his ears, "Sokka I want to give you something. Can we go inside?" Sokka happily obliged, hoping for a gift from his sister for uniting her with Aang.
He marched inside and started to brag, "So what's the gift that this genius gets for such an excellent plan. I usually do not brag, but that plan was entirely mine Katara. You don't need to bow down to me don't worry. So what did you get me?" as he searched behind her.
Katara opened her water pouch and brandished a small stream of water in front of Sokka's eyes. Sokka knew that this wasn't a good sign as before long he realized that he was frozen to the ceiling upside down. The rest of them who were hearing Sokka's pitiful yelps laughed their heads off.
It was a dreamy night that both Aang and Katara would have etched in their hearts forever.
