"When did I ever deny that I had feelings for you?" Katara challanged, squirming away from Aang's grasp. They stood on opposite sides of the table.

"So me being 'A good little friend, just like Momo!' Meant that you were totally in love with me?" Aang laughed.

Katara gasped and put a hand over her mouth to conceal her laughter. "How do you remember that, Aang?!"

"Every single rock you threw at my heart, I kept. I remember every 'he's just a friend' remark you spoke."

Aang lunged around the table and grabbed Katara around the waist from behind. He twisted his head to kiss her cheek.

"Aww, poor little 12 year old Aang, hopeless devoted to a gorgeous 14 year old." Katara swayed in Aang's arms, feeling an inaudible rhythm through her bones.

"I was. I'm not going to deny it. And I still am." He looked into Katara's eyes and she looked into his.

Katara looked at her feet, blushing. A warmth filled her body unlike any other. Nothing that she could feel from a fire or the sun. Only something that Aang could spark.

"Have I told you yet today that I loved you?" Aang asked dreamily.

"Probably. But feel free to say it again." Katara smirked devilishly. Aang twisted himself around so he was in front of his girlfriend, staring into her glistening eyes.

"I love you, Katara." He said slowly and carefully, the worlds dripping off his tongue. He traced his fingers gently and delicately up and down her sides. Katara shivered. Aang landed his fingers right on her waist, causing Katara's heart to beat out of her chest. Aang tightened his fingers there and leaned into her.

"Avatar! Enough playing around with your girlfriend! There is so much to do!" Iroh barged into the room.

Aang and Katara immediately detached themselves from each other, faces red.

"Iroh, didn't I tell you to knock?!" Aang snapped.

"No time for knocking! Only training!"

"I'm a great lightningbender already, Iroh! Five more minutes." Aang glanced at Katara, grinning. Katara blushed.

"I need to make sure you stay out of trouble. Until you are old enough, I am your guardian and it is my responsibility to watch over you. And as your guardian, you must do as I say!"

"I'm seventeen, Iroh. You're forgetting that I traveled the world without any adult supervision when I was only twelve. Can I please have five more minutes with my girlfriend?"

"But you've been with her non-stop for 5 years! What will 5 minutes do?"

"A lot, actually." Aang smiled thoughtfully. Katara giggled.

"You need more practice. Listen to me!"

Aang tapped his fingers against his chin. "A wise man once told me to choose Love and Happiness over Power and Perfection. How can I listen to him while listening to you?"

"Ugh! What will I ever do with you?!" Iroh threw his hands up in surrender and left the room.

"Good. He's gone. Now where were we?"

Katara picked up Aang's hands and placed them on her waist.

"Oh. Right." Aang grinned widely. He pushed Katara up on to a table and kissed her hard and long.

Teenagers, am I right?
