Chapter Thirty-Seven: My Partner

Katara looked around in her suitcase for hours matching together different outfits for the upcoming event.

"What's with the discarded clothing?" Zuko asked as he was casually walking by and was almost hit with one of Katara's shirts which she has tossed aside in her fit of looking.

"I'm looking for something to wear on my date."

"Date?" Zuko repeated, letting himself in Katara's room and sitting on her bed.

"Yeah, Aang asked me to go on a date this morning."

"Well not to burst your bubble but don't you two go on dates all the time?" Zuko raised a brow.

"Yeah….but this time is different, I could tell Aang had something on his mind." Katara looked down at her practically empty suitcase and looked about her room at all the clothes she had tossed aside. She sighed and sat next to Zuko on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Zuko asked, seeming genuinely concerned.

"I just can't tell if something's wrong, you know? It's like I know something up, but I just can't tell if something's wrong." She thought back of the urgency in Aang's voice when he asked her that morning….

Katara sat peacefully at the table, just sipping on some morning tea and eating half a sugared grapefruit but soon she found a pair of tattooed hands encircling her and planting a gentle kiss on the back of her neck.

"Morning, beautiful." Aang whispered into her hair, making himself comfortable.

"Morning to you too." She looked over at her half eaten grapefruit. "Do you want some grapefruit?"

"I'll get my own in a second," He told her and sat down in the chair next to hers. "But do you mind if I…ask you something?" The tone of his voice seemed to get Katara's attention more than usual. He seemed unsettled and she immediately caught wind of it in his voice.

"Sure, Aang, anything."

"Well…um…do you want to do something tonight?" He asked after a long pause. Too long for Katara's liking. "We could walk around the city and see the new sights, get some dinner?"
