So I'm trying this new thing out that is called a SongFic apparently? I'm not exactly sure how it's done so feedback is required (hint, hint)

I've been watching you

For some time

Aang watched Katara's chest rise and fall with every breath she took. Spirits, she looked so beautiful when she slept. So calm; peaceful, like all her troubles disappeared, and it was just her and whatever she was dreaming about. A part of him hoped she was dreaming about him.

"...Aang?" Katara whispered drowsily, her sapphire eyes opening.

Can't stop staring

At those ocean eyes

Instead of replying, Aang stared into her eyes; into her soul. His mind got lost under the waves of her eyes. Calm, gentle, loving. But also fierce, loyal, and determined.

Burning cities

And napalm skies

Not only did he see the love in her eyes, he saw the destruction. He saw the pain in her eyes. What she was scared of; what she had gone through.

Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes

But through that pain, he saw her strength. Her bravery. She stood up, not just for herself, but for her brother. She took care of him when both of their parents left. She took care of everyone. She was determined to save other people, the way she could not save her mother.

"Aang, what are you staring at?" Katara questioned, self-conscious because of the way he was looking at her.

"Your ocean eyes" he whispered.

No fair

You really know how to make me cry

When you gimme those ocean eyes

When he realized how much pain Katara had to go through. He felt like it was his pain too. He realized that Katara had watched her mother being taken away from her. Although Aang lost his whole tribe, he was in an iceberg when it happened, so he was spared the pain of watching Monk Gyatso and the others die. But Katara, a young girl, was standing helpless, watching a strange man taking her mother away. He understood what it felt like to be helpless, and suddenly tears started flowing out of his eyes.

I'm scared

I've never fallen from quite this high

Falling into your ocean eyes

"Aang, why are you crying?" Katara's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately pulled him into a hug. During this embrace, Aang realized how much he loved this girl. Monk Gyatso had once told him that when two people love each other enough, they become one being. All moments are shared, all troubles, all happiness. He was falling in love.

"Those ocean eyes," he tried to explain.

So yeah, that was my SongFic. If you want me to do the rest of the song, I would be happy to, cuz I have some ideas. Also, while I was writing this song, another song for blue eyes came up, so if you like this one, or if you have suggestions for the next one, I could make this a series :) The song is Coffee Breath by Neoflash. The whole song isn't about blue eyes, but there is a paragraph that I could use.

Also, I am not trying to downplay Aang losing his entire tribe, obviously, this is a big deal, but I'm tired of people using Aang's pain to downplay Katara's. First of all, pain is not relative, so saying that she doesn't deserve to talk about it because of Aang is kinda mean. Also, Katara literally watched her mother being taken away to protect her, which was probably really traumatizing for such a young child. I still like the funny memes about her talking about her mom, but some people are really mean about it LOL. I hope I didn't offend anyone :)
