I just watched Avatar and have almost finished it, I have the finale left. This is Avatar inspired. Tom is the crown prince of the reining fire nation, Harry is the Avatar. They are secretly together and they meet up the night before Tom gets married to the woman he had been forced to marry. Harry originally was a earth bender for those who are wondering.

-------------------------------------------------------------

     Tom was waiting on the outskirts of the palace blending into the dark night.  A small fire rested in his hands keeping the frigid night air away. 

     Hearing wind pick up behind him, Tom turned. Harry was quietly deposited onto the stone floors. Running silently, Harry jumped into Tom's arms. 

     "I missed you," Harry quietly breathed out. "Oh, I missed you so much. We can't be away from each other this long again. I won't let it happen."

    "I missed you too, Har." Tom relished in the feeling of resting his head on Harry's messy head of hair. Breathing in deeply, Tom attempted to memorize Harry's scent. 

     "Can we go inside?" Harry asked timidly. Tom didn't respond but instead lead him inside the palace. 

     Within second of the door closing, Tom pinned Harry to the wall kissing the living daylights out of him. A small moan escaped Harry as Tom's hands cupped his ass pulling him towards Tom. Their lips melted together fusing them as one person. Truly inseparable.

    Harry broke from the kiss when Tom reached to pull Harry's shirt off. Confused and hurt, Tom took a step back. Smiling sadly, Harry pecked Tom on the lips not letting the kiss become passionate like the previous one was.

     "You're getting married tomorrow, Tom. You can't be with me the night before the wedding. It's wrong." Harry stated as a single tear fell down his pale cheeks. Tom wiped it away with a small smile.

     "I don't want to marry her. I don't love her. I could never love her because I only love you." Harry drew in a startled breath at the admission. In shame, Tom looked towards his shoes that rested on the polished palace floors. 

     'This isn't how I planned on telling him I loved him.' Tom dejectedly thought. 

     "I love you too Tom," Hearing that, Tom's head snapped up to meet his lovers. A soft smile rested on plump lips. "I have a way out of this. If you would like to get out of here that is?"

     Doubt was laced into Harry's voice. He didn't know what he would do with himself if Tom decided that he wished to stay and get married to a girl he barely knew. 

     "I would love that, Harry." Tom stated wrapping a strong hand around Harry's waist pulling him in for a toe curling kiss. 

     When the kiss ended, they began to plot. The plan was simple. Harry would get Tom out of the fire nation the same way he got in. They would air bend down the side of the palace. Then they would sneak out through the side entrance. The hardest part of it all way that the palace was set on flat land and from the walls on the outside you could see everything. Their timing had to be perfect. When the guards changed at 3 in the morning they would run.  

     Waiting for the time to pass, the pair exchanged stories about what life outside of the palace would be like. Harry would have preferred to settle with Tom somewhere where no one would find them, but he knew he couldn't do that. He had to defeat the fire lord and bring peace. Tom knew of Harry's duties and accepted that Harry would have to kill his father. Tom just made Harry promise that Tom could stay at his side the whole time. A joking "I wouldn't have it any other way." was the response. 

     The time had arrived, Harry air bended himself down the wall. Motioning for Tom to jump, Harry prepared to catch him. Tom jumped, trusting his boyfriend with his life, as the drop is around 25 feet. Harry softly lowered him to the ground, and then, they were off. 

     Scurrying silently along the ground, they made no noises. When they reached the side door, they let out a sigh of relief. Opening the door, Tom was surprised to find grassy hills in the distance. 

     "Happy now?" Harry jokingly asked. Tom nodded his head and pulled him in for a kiss. 

     "Happier than I have ever been." Tom, for the first time in his life, had tears running down his cheeks. Harry just pulled him in for a hug, letting Tom take it all in. The prince was free, for the first time in his life. 

     "Sap." Harry lightly punched Tom on the arm. 

     "You love it." Tom snarkily replied. Harry laughed and started walking towards his boat that rested on the shore. 

     "No, I love you." Harry stated jogging towards his boat. Tom who had been admiring the view, had to run after him.

     "Now who's being the sap?" Harry's response was to send a blast of his water at Tom, soaking his shirt.
