The fire war renaissance

Chapter 61: Lake Relevation

I'm extremely sorry about the double lateness guys. I went on vacation, school started, and I'm getting plans together for college. Whew….I'm just going to end the lame reel of excuses now.

On to the chapter! You guys are gonna love this!

Chapter Sixty-One: Lake Revelation

The meeting between Avatar Aang, Father Dití, and Mother Dádi would take place as soon as the noon sun was visible.

"So are you ready, I mean this is kind of a big deal?" Katara asked, still in her relieved tone. She was certainly glowing more than Aang would've expected, given the nature of the situation, but he supposed it was just because the air was finally clear between them.

Of course, to Aang, the wide smile on his face was shamefully not because he was finally going to fix the natural disaster problem, and not even entirely that Katara finally told him her secret, but that they spent the remainder of the night trying to pry each other off the other. It made him want to kick himself, but he simply couldn't help feeling relieved of the ventilation.

Katara made the early morning before noon pleasurable between them, though still being in mind that Sokka and Azula were snoozing nearby, and sat next to Aang, leaning into him and snuggling into his shoulder.

The sudden contact set Aang's nerves afire once more, and he gulped with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Katara peaked up at him, reaching for his hand gently.

"I just…I missed this." He tugged her closer to emphasize the fact.

"Missed what?" Katara giggled in question, stroking the back of his hand with her thumb.

"Missed this…us." He looked over at her with a smile, but knew from her raised brow that she was still confused. "Do you remember when we first started dating, and we used to just have simple moments like this all the time?" He asked her instead of further explaining himself.

Katara's smile matched his soon enough, and he leaned further into him with a hum of agreement.

"Yeah," she sighed happily.

"..And it was just all we needed, I missed that time. It just seemed like things were so much simpler."

"I know," Katara finally released his hand, and pulled up her head to face him completely. "We've kind of lost sight of that recently, haven't we?"

Aang nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry," Katara immediately apologized. "I feel like it's my fault."

"You're not at fault, Katara, no much than I am." Aang told her, pulling her back towards him and planting a soft kiss in her hair. "I think we just need to remember that time when just being together was enough…you know, as motivation?"

Katara could only nod, the memories of their first few months together flooding her mind and gave her a flutter in her heart. She wanted that again. To simply lean on his shoulder and feel….well, the way she was feeling at that moment.
