Aang and Mai sat down on opposite sides of the couch sulking while the party went on as usual. Mai saw the 'new couple' dancing and giggling and felt like retching while Aang bit his lip until it bled. This was- well horrible at least for Mai and Aang it was, but for Zuko and Katara they were happily enjoying not having to keep their love a secret anymore. That's what Mai remembered Zuko saying at least. Zuko had blabbed on for around two hours, well it had seemed like two hours and Katara's explanation didn't go to well either- she had to stop each time Aang started to cry.
Aang looked at Mai bored.
"So how does it feel to be dumped a second time?" he asked. Mai looked away and didn't answer him. Aang lay back in the sofa.
"It's cool if you don't want to talk about it I know it's hard-"
"Well at least I didn't cry when I got dumped" snapped Mai. Aang went red.
"I didn't cry!" he objected pretending to think her answer was funny.
"We all heard you Avatar! The whole Fire Nation heard it!" said Mai annoyed. Aang went silent. The couple passed by laughing and soapy looks at each other. Aang and Mai were silent as they past but they stared like hawks. Were nearly out of sight now but Mai could clearly see Zuko's arm around that water girl's waist dangerously low and Aang could see Katara smile and the Fire Lord seductively and they both realised that their ex's never did that to them. Aang closed his eyes not wanting to see anymore while Mai groaned and fell back onto the couch.
The young monk took a deep breath in and then out. The only way to get Katara out of his mind would be to look at something else and keep his mind away from the topic. He slowly cleared his head and then looked into a corner of the room. There was Ty Lee surrounded by a group of fire nation guys, Iroh besides a teapot smiling very happily, a few water tribe boys trying to stay away from the water benders from the swamp (who still wouldn't wear pants) and Chit Sang and Boomi having a competition which included who had the biggest muscles and curiously a Toph and a Dai Lee soldier sneaking outside. But still the thought of Katara with someone else echoed in his mind unbearably.
Meanwhile Mai had gotten a little throwing knife and started to etch into the wooden armrest of the couch the words:
'You jerk, I hope you see these words one day and know what you did to me, I told you not to break up with me but look what you did. If you didn't even love me you shouldn't have dated me in the first place! I hope you feel the pain I am in right now one day and that you will say the words 'I wish I didn't dump her' but that before was your final chance I'll never come back to you, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again! Got that?
Love Mai'
"What are you doing?" Aang asked as he saw Mai write the words with hate.
"I'm leaving a note for Zuko"
"Sweet can I leave a note for Katara?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Cause I made this up. Find a way to get even yourself"
"Oh come on. I'll buy you a drink?"
Mai froze and looked at the bald kid.
"Are you asking me out?"
Aang looked surprised and worried.
"No! I'm trying to bribe you!"
"Good"
Mai went back to writing.
"So can I borrow a knife?"
Mai took a knife from her sleeve and threw it at Aang's arm rest.
Aang murmured his thanks and started to write himself.
'Katara do you know how much you hurt me? I loved you so much and if you didn't love me back the nicest thing you could have done was break up with me! I've loved you for so long and you never looked at me the same way you look at Zuko now. You've made me feel like a complete idiot! I never saw that you didn't love me! I loved you and I still love you! How could have you done this to me? If you find this I really hope you'll say sorry once more because you ripped out my heart Katara.
Love Aang'
They spent another few minutes writing as the party went on and nobody seemed to notice their vandalism (they were probably having too much of a good time to even bother looking at two people writing into the Fire Lords couch with a throwing knife. Mai and Aang had started to write smaller sentences now.
'You bastard, '
'Heartbreaker, '
'Imbecile, '
'Builder and breaker, '
'Two timer, '
'Self-thoughtful, '
'Ex.'
Mai made a sigh of relief as she finished her last words and lay back. Her wrist was a bit sore from writing so fast. She could see Aang was finished as well and lay back on the couch with arms folded.
"So you want your drink?" he asked. Mai nodded.
"I'd like a Lychee Juice please" answered Mai and Aang smiled. He stood up and reached his hand out. Mai stood up but then remembered something.
"Wait a moment" she said and she bent down to write a few more words.
'P.S. I don't like fruit tarts!'
She smiled and looked back at Aang who was still holding his arm out.
"Physical contact on first date?" she said jokingly.
"This is not a date" retorted Aang.
"Be quiet I need comfort so it's a date"
Aang grinned smugly and walked Mai over to the bar.
Author's Note:
I love Mai
and Aang together I think it's so cute! I hope there are now other
MaixAang fans!
Okay first competition!
Think of a name for a MaixAang ship! I can't think of one!
I hope you enjoyed please review! Was Aang a little too OC? I thought his letter to Katara was a bit harsh but he has grown and is probably going through puberty so 'meh'.
I don't own avatar very sadly...
