Hello fellow writers and readers!
I am proud to say I am back! And I have a volcano of new ideas ready to explode! So let's get down to business! I have this cryptic statement I thought of randomly a few days ago (although honestly it has been somewhat tweaked from the original). I am prepared to make this a full-fledged fanfic.

"TO CATCH LIGHTNING"
"Prologue"
This is some seriously whacked shit!
He could argue that the whole "opposites attract" enigma is a fluke and vastly overrated, but then he would be acknowledging this "affair" as a problem.
Is it problem?
He's certain there are thousands of entities (known and unknown), in the universe that would probably say yes, and make it their mission to shake his bones until he vomited his "poisoned" heart and became a sane of member of society again.
But...
When he gazed into amber pools of honey, it certainly didn't feel wrong. It didn't feel like he was trying to oppose a battle against a monstrosity that should have never occurred. It didn't feel like he was diving in a pool of insanity.
What exactly is it? Why is he here?
Nervousness! Overactive heart beats! Blood pumping, rushing through his veins! And now confusion because he had NO idea when he began having these thoughts!
Omashu?
Is that what led to this?
Impossible! For he was a warrior fighting for freedom! Isn't that why he is currently traveling around on a flying bison, with his surrogate "mother", a blind earthbending rebel, and a flighty kid with an arrow on his head?
She and her crazy friends had pursued and attacked relentlessly! He was certain all he felt then was fear and awe. Blue flames was something out of a wild imagination.
She was the cause of his lack of sleep!
But even with that knowledge on the forefront of his mind, his thoughts still danced back to her!
It was supposed to be simple! The kind of situation that was "nothing more, nothing less." But the spirits just HAD to meddle with things and make everything complicated.
He could blame Aang! If they had never turned back to find King Bumi he would have never saw her! He would have never felt so enamored...
No, that's ignorant. They would have encountered her at some point.
Wait...
ENAMORED?
That's absurd!
He was just a little curious...
He had never seen such luscious lips coated in rich red and he definitely did not expect to see those soft feminine curves he probably had no business looking at. Well that's redundant, but alas the spirits made a field day out of his life when he chanced an encounter with her...
After what had felt like an eternity of shock. He found himself dodging potent blue flames.
It wasn't even his fault! He didn't mean to oogle her goods. He had never seen her without her armor!
Dear Tui and La!
She was gorgeous! He promptly cursed his adolescent hormones!
You couldn't even begin to imagine his surprise when he finally managed to haphazardly subdue her and the first thing he does is kiss her.
Oh she was delicious!
His thoughts melted into a spiral of nonsense and for a moment, nothing else in the world mattered but her. Never mind that she slapped him silly and sat back stunned. But what was he even complaining for? She had kissed him back!
After a moment of recollection she fisted his shirt with her dainty hands and frenched him!
It was passionate and lustful and dangerous! He never thought sharp red nails and snarky smirks would excite him so... Hell! He was surprised he was still alive, and that she seemed to return said attraction!
But this is crazy! Why are they fooling around? These secret rendezvous... All of this is bound to end horribly right?
He had a mission! Help the Avatar defeat the Fire Nation. They were evil, cruel, dastardly beings who didn't give a damn about anyone but themselves! If it wasn't for the Fire Nation, he would be home learning the ways of a man to someday take over the tribe from his father and... His mother would still be alive.
Yue would still be alive...
But...
He couldn't blame all of that on just one person.
He certainly couldn't hold her accountable, she wasn't even born when this war started! Neither was he. She also had nothing to due with the attack on his tribe for she was a child then. Could he even blame her for her ways of thinking? It was what she was taught. It's not like she had a choice right?
Shit! You know what? None of that matters!
She was Fire Nation. The Fire Nation Princess!
He was Water Tribe. The Chief's son!
Their outlooks on life clashed horribly. He saw the Fire Nation as destruction and she blindly followed her father's orders because she had never been taught otherwise. Who's to say she would even consider... changing sides? Seeing his point of view? Maybe...
This was so frustrating!
But then again it wasn't. She had commanded these meetings. She had been the one to climb atop him. She seduced him, and he'd be a liar if he said he did not like it.
But still... She was his enemy.
She represented the opposite of what was right.
Why does any of this even matter to him? She was just a rebellious excitement! He was probably a little late with teenage rebellion so she was the closest thing to an improvision.
Lies.
The lies he would tell himself as he pushed into warm waves of glory! The sounds she would make, and oh God! The things she would say that pushes him over the edge!
This is going to bite him in the ass eventually. If he lived to see the repercussions.
If she didn't kill him. Katara would.
But apparently none of that matters either, or he wouldn't be lying here holding her close and whispering sweet nothings ...
Apparently,
He was in love.
So what do you guys think? Remember to review!
