A/N: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in quite awhile. I've been super busy and the site was down for a bit, so I couldn't post. I'm starting school tomorrow, so I will be updating chapters/posting oneshots once a week. Stay tuned!

Here's the final chapter of "Together". Enjoy! :)

"If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

-Snow Patrol/Chasing Cars

Hakoda died peacefully in his sleep, his friends and family by his side. Katara cried into Aang, harder than she had ever cried before. Aang cried too, along with Toph, Suki, Sokka, Gran Gran, Bato, and many others from Hakoda's fleet. Katara felt safe in Aang's arms, yet so vulnerable to the world. But at least he was there, holding her close.

Aang flew back with Katara on Appa. They decided to leave Bao there and come back for him later. This was because Katara would not let go of Aang. She felt as if she let go him literally, she would loose him again figuratively. He had tried many times, but she would not release him. Aang understood. They flew back together and reached the Eastern Air Temple in record time. Aang finally got Katara to let go so he could shower. But when he got out, he didn't find her waiting at the door as he suspected. He threw his clothes on and ran out the door, screaming for her. He couldn't loose her again. He just couldn't.

"Katara?! Katara!"

"I'm here." He heard a voice said quietly from the field to the left. Aang ran to her, a figure laying on the soft grass, looking up at the moon.

"Oh my god, you scared me so much, Katara!" He huffed, kneeling next to her, grasping her hands.

"I'm sorry." She said in monotone. He realized these were the first words she had said since her father had died.

"That's okay. I'm just glad you're okay, Sweetie." Aang smiled.

Katara said nothing.

"I'm gonna go. You need some alone time." Aang said quietly, placing a small kiss on her forehead and turning to leave.

Katara grabbed him by his shirt, stopping him in his tracks.

"Wait! Don't go."

Aang turned around, looking at Katara in the eyes.

"Will you lay with me?"

"Of course, Katara."

Aang settled down next to his girlfriend, lacing his fingers in between her's. They stared at the stars together, each one more dazzling and bright than the next. The brightness of the moon and the scattered light from the stars hit the Temple with an iridescent glow that made everything seem more sacred and peaceful than ever.

After a long silence, Aang spoke up. "You know, if you want to talk about—"

"No, Aang." Katara stopped him, clenching his arm between her fingers. "Can we just…forget the world?"

Aang turned to her, looking in her eyes.

"Just…for a moment?"

Aang smiled. "Sure."

So they laid together in silence, looking up at the world, not thinking about all the things that were incredibly messed up about their lives.

Because sometimes, it's nice to just forget.

A/N: Wow. I was editing this and realized how terrible it was. My apologies, readers. I'll try to put out better fics soon! Review if you liked. Or if you didn't. All feedback is greatly appreciated!
