Discharged

Aang POV

Katara was pouring her heart out to me and it made me sad to see that she felt so guilty about what she did. I mean I was in pain, but I never wanted her to feel bad. I guess I must've been thinking to myself for a while, because Katara was walking out of the hospital room. I was thinking about all of what she had just said to me, and the last thing she said is what I remembered the most. She said she loved me.

"I love you too Katara" I responded.

When I said this, Katara turned around and looked at me with wide eyes. I could see the tears beginning to form as she tried to find the words to say.

"You do?" She asked with an optimistic voice.

I smiled back at her and said
"Yes, I do"

Quickly she ran towards me and hugged me tightly.

I winced in pain, but I didn't want the hug to end.

Unfortunately, Katara noticed my pained expression and pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I forgot about your back" she said

"It's okay... the hug was worth it" I responded.

She smiled at me and then the doctor came into the room.

"Good news, you can be discharged in the next 15 minutes" he said.

"Thank you Doctor" I responded.

So Katara helped me gather my stuff and we headed out.

"So... what do you want to do?" She asked

"I'm kinda hungry" I said

"Maybe we could get In-n-Out?" I asked

(Very popular burger spot in California)

"Yea that sounds perfect." She responded.

We got into the car and she drove.

I had my hand on the center console and Katara grabbed my hand nervously.

I squeezed her hand to let her know it was ok.

Shortly after we pulled into the parking lot and went to get food. But before we got out the car, I grabbed Katara's hand and pulled her in for a kiss.

We pulled away after a couple seconds and she blushed and said
"I missed that"

"Me too" I responded.

"Now c'mon, let's go get some burgers." I said and we headed into the restaurant.
