chapter four

aang collapsed on the bed, exhausted from his friends' constant pestering about where he had been that night.

they had teased him endlessly for the smile that had been stuck on his face, and the way his cheeks heated up as he told them vague details about you and what he had done.

aang reached into his pocket, his fingers finding the tickets you had given him. he rubbed his thumb along their smooth cover, finding comfort in the small slip.

his eyes slowly began to droop, luring him into the sweet nectar of rest. just when he had finally closed his weary eyes, the door blew open with a bang, making him shoot up and hit the top of the bed frame.

toph cackled at aang, pointing a finger in his direction.  "got ya twinkle toes!" she began to cackle some more, making aang sigh exasperatedly as he rubbed his aching forehead.

"god, toph, i'm so tired, leave me alone please?" aang pleaded, making toph laugh even harder, to the point where she was on the ground, saying an incomprehensible sentence.

the ruckus brought over sokka and zuko, both still dressed in their day clothes, and both very confused at the rolling ball of green on the ground.

"what-" toph stopped to catch her breath and laugh a bit more. "what did you do with your mystery lover girl that made you so tired, huh?" toph burst out laughing again, making both sokka and zuko smile slightly before joining her in her infectious laughter.

aang groaned and felt heat rise to his cheeks at the accusation. "come on guys stop, it's not like that, i just saved her kid!" he tried to explain but that just made them laugh harder, sokka falling to his knees on the floor.

aang face palmed, groaning, and gave into their infectious laughter by cracking a smile. he covered his face with both his hands as he let out a chuckle, shaking his head.

"god, i was just tryna sleep." aang huffed out in laughter, falling backward onto his bed softly as his friends continued to cackle.

zuko was the first to calm down and began to pull the other hysterical two out of aang's room so that he could sleep. aang sent an appreciative nod to him, chuckling a bit at the sight of a nearly crawling toph and a stumbling sokka, both still laughing, getting dragged out of his room by the firelord himself.

once the three were out of sight, he closed his eyes, immediately seeing the woman he had seen earlier, which brought a smile to his face.

spirits, he must be crazy. aang was obsessing over a woman he had just met, and only exchanged a few words with!

these feelings will soon fade, give it a night. he opened his eyes and sat up, took the tickets out of his pocket, and observed the lovely art adorning it. a beautiful mountain in the middle, a drawing of a man on one side, the woman from earlier on the other.

aang carefully observed the portrait of her, tracing the painting's jawline. she really did look like an angel, with beautiful hair, and warm, loving eyes.

"aang?" aang's head snapped up from the picture, hiding the tickets behind his back out of embarrassment. his shoulders fell slightly at the sight of his ex-girlfriend at his door. katara squinted at him, looking confused. "what were you looking at there?"

aang sheepishly took out the tickets. "oh, i, um, got this from that lady i was talking about earlier, it's tickets to a show at the ember island theater." he stood up and gave a slip to her. she examined it, thanking him.

"the tale of two lovers?" katara read, and aang nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. "i love that story," she said, smiling up at him. usually, aang's heart would skip a beat at this, but his heart just continued its normal pace, much to his confusion.

he smiled back, nodding. "uh, well, i'm going to go to bed now." she nodded in understanding. "night katara."

"goodnight, aang." she turned and headed back down the hall, her long curly locks swinging behind her.

aang closed the door and crept into his bed, expecting another dream with those curly brown locks.

instead, he got one with your warm e/c eyes, a much better alternative.
