AVATAR one shots :)

Ao'nung - Stood up

I was sitting in the warm sand, listening to the sound of the waves. The air hung in a delicate balance, a gentle caress of warmth that embraced my skin with a soothing touch. It was a calm and comfortable temperature, where neither a chill nor a stifling heat disturbed the tranquil harmony. The atmosphere was just right, like a cozy embrace from a familiar blanket, inviting relaxation and a sense of ease.

Ao'nung always knew how to pick the best days for our little dates.

The gentle breeze whispered through the trees, carrying a hint of freshness that revitalized the sense, while the sun's gentle rays kissed the earth, casting a soft golden glow that seemed to invite gentle daydreams.

I watched the sunset, a gentle smile on my face as I waited for Ao'nung. I wiggled my toes in the sand as I got comfortable.

Time seemed to stretch endlessly as I watched the waves rhythmically crashed against the shoreline, their soothing cadence creating a melodic symphony that filled my ears. "Where is he...?" I softly whispered to myself.

Amidst this tranquil backdrop, I found myself lost in a state of anticipation, my eyes scanning the horizon, waiting for a presence to break through the stillness. I sighed as I brought my hands together.

I waited. I waited for some time. Ao'nung was not here.

I couldn't help but fidget nervously with my fingers. I had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, anticipating the arrival of my pretty boy. He had insisted on making tonight special. Yet, minutes turned into hours, and still, there was no sign of him.

As time ticked on, doubts began to cloud my mind. Did he forget?

Did he change his mind?

A sinking feeling settled in my stomach as I started to consider the possibility that he had stood me up. But it just did not feel like something he would do.

Reluctantly, I slowly got up, casting one last glance towards the ocean, hoping to possibly catch a glimpse of Ao'nung running here to apologize for his tardiness. But there was no trace of him. Determined to understand what had happened, I decided to pass by his marui on my way back. We weren't living together yet... maybe one day. That is if he wants to.

As I walked past his home, a sense of unease washed over me. It was dark and there was no sign of activity inside. Ao'nung wasn't home, and it truly wasn't like him to disappear without letting me know. Panic began to rise within me, and my thoughts raced, conjuring up the worst-case scenatios.

What if something happened while he went hunting? He always had a gift for trouble.

With a heavy heart, I started the walk back home. Each step seemed to echo the uncertainty that plagued my mind. Where could he be? Eywa- he could piss me off sometimes.

Why would he just vanish without any explanation? I tried to keep my composure, but my imagination ran wild with possibilities, none of them reassuring.

When I walked into my marui, a mix of relief and frustration washed over me. There he was, sitting on the couch, seemingly absorbed by his weaving. "You asshole! I was worried." I angrily said walking over to him. His face lit up with surprise as he looked up from whatever he was doing and saw me standing there, a whirlwind of emotions written across my face. "What happened? Where have you been?" I uttered, my voice trembling with a mixture of relief and annoyance.

Ao'nung blinked, momentarily taken aback by my intensity. "Oh- hey" He responded calmy, putting his weaving to the side.

Was he- is he serious? 'Oh, hey'? That's it?

"Don't just 'oh hey' me like that. What is your problem?"

"Listen, listen- I'm so sorry, love. I got caught up in an emergency with my father. I didn't think it would take this long before he dismissed me." He started, taking my hands in his. "I couldn't bear the thought of leaving you waiting, so I rushed here as soon as I could."

His explanation hung in the air, and I could see the sincerity in his eyes. I looked down at our hands, his were warm. The tension slowly began to dissolve as I realized my fears had gotten the better of me. The relief washed over me, replaced by understanding and empathy.

I sighed, my anger dissipating. "You scared me, moron, you know. I thought something terrible had happened. Next time, please just try to let me know... even if it's a brief message." I said looking back into his eyes. "I would have understood.."

Ao'nung nodded earnestly, remorse etched on his face. "I promise, love. I will make it up to you. No more surprises like this. I'm truly sorry."

I stared into his eyes, as blue as the ocean. They held a world of wonder and enchantment. Just like earlier tonight, time seemed to stand still. Only this time, you were filled with content. Each glance into those beautiful blue eyes was an invitation to explore, to dive into the depths of his soul.

In those mesmerizing eyes, I found my solace. I smiled gently squeezing his hands and just like that, a cloud of worry lifted. He smiled at me before bringing me into his arms. "Eywa- I can never stay mad at you, you know that Ao'nung?"

He chuckled slowly pulling away from the embrace. "Yeah, I know, I'm kind of awesome and all that" He cockily said raising an eyebrow. I scoffed at his words.

"Oh, shut up. Why are you like this?" I said trying to supress the growing smile on my lips.

"Like what? Absolutely handsome? Mesmerizing, maybe? Or perhaps, God-like?"

I looked at him, unsure on how to respond to this cocky version of Ao'nung. After a few seconds, I couldn't help but start laughing.

"What-" he said almost sounding offended by my amusement.

"No no, it's nothing... whatever helps you sleep at night mister God-like Ao'nung." I said still laughing as I made my way pass him to go to bed. He turned around watching me walk away from him.

"Just say that you love me. Please, tìyawn, I want to hear you." He gently spoke following me. He laid down next to me, not even questioning if it was okay for him to sleep here. I love when he sleeps over, I sleep better with him.

"I love you, you big baby." I said happy to see his smile grow. His hands moved up to my face to cup my cheeks before he peppered kisses all over my face.

Ao'nung shortly stopped pressing our body closer to each other, our forehead met. "I love you too." He pulled in, our lips meeting. My hands found their place around his hips trying to pull him even closer, if that could be possible.

Wanting to mess with him a little bit, I slightly opened my mouth so that I could gently bit his lower lips. He groaned against my lips, moving his hand to the back of my hand. I couldn't help but laugh into the kiss, resulting in me pulling away.

"That was payback for not showing up." I said watching him lick his lower lip.

"If it's always going to be like this, it might be tempti-" I quickly slapped his shoulder. "Don't, idiot." I said, a small smile dancing on my lips.

He let out a small laugh before pressing a kiss against my forehead.

I love him. He's an idiot.
