ATLA: Bonds Within Bending

Feelings That Have Been Played

Katara's POV

Aang made it pretty obvious where we stood, he's just another thing I have to get over I suppose.

I looked at myself in the mirror after getting ready for going to see the others, I can't wait to talk to Suki again, she's easy to be around.

"Woah you look great", Aang walked into the room, he only changed his shirt.

"Sure, let's go", I'm not going to give him a reaction because if I do he's bound to play with my feelings, and I for sure don't want yet another guy to do that.

I left the flat and knocked on the door opposite it waiting for someone to answer.

"Phew that was a long journey here huh? Your apartment is so far away", Aang joked leaning up against the door with a smirk on his face expecting me to laugh.

Toph opened the door, making a leaning Aang fall backwards onto the floor, "Hi guys", she smiled stepping back to let me in.

"Hey Toph", I smiled at her walking over Aang as I walked in, it was nice to be back, but someone else was here, I heard a soft voice from the kitchen thats sounds familiar.

"Katara! Thank god you're here!", Suki quickly ran up to me from the other side of the room and held both my hands looking panicked.

"Woah hey, everything alright?", I asked examining her body language, she was so tense, which was really unlike this girl who has such an easy going way of life.

"Yeah, well no, I think it's not? But it could be? I don't know!", she pouted and looked down, I lifted her chin and looked into her eyes, I'm protective over this girl who I haven't known for very long but she's automatically my best friend.

"What's going on? Who do I have to talk to?", I asked with my eyebrows furrowed, Suki pointed towards the kitchen, "alright, keep Aang entertained", I looked towards the kitchen and walked in.

"I'm sure we can do that", Toph beamed helping Aang off the floor.

As I walked into the kitchen I remembered her, I matched the voice with the face and all the memories came flooding back.

"Katara?"

"Oh Yue. You're here".

Aang's POV

Since our last conversation Katara doesn't seem too happy around me, like she's distancing herself from me, I admit this has been a weird friendship even from the start but this is just odd, we need to talk this out before I lose her as a friend completely.

I got to my feet with help from Toph and brushed myself off watching Katara walk into the kitchen, I guess we'll talk later then.

"So, how has it been sharing a flat with Katara?", Suki asked but kept her eyes on the kitchen whilst biting her lip.

"It's be okay, I think, I'm not sure to be honest, she's a hard one to understand", I sighed and walked over to the couch so I could relax.

"Well can you keep her?", Toph smirked sitting down beside me, "I'm kidding, we'll take her back whenever, this place will get dirty soon enough so we'll need our cleaner". Toph kicked her legs up and rested them on the coffee table with her hands behind her head.

"What do you think they're doing in there? What're they saying?", Suki wouldn't look away from the Kitchen but sat on the other couch looking nervous.

"I think they might be talking", I looked where she was then back at her.

"Dude was that sarcasm or is that genuinely you?", Toph laughed lightly facing me.

"Huh?", I tilted my head, what was she talking about?
