Katara turned to him, and he could see, without a word, that she had wanted to see him too. Her eyes were bluer than usual, and the look she gave him was nothing short of adoration. She couldn't help it.

"I've been wanting to see you too. After all this time, its become my driving force, my rock. And more than anything, I wanted to know that you were alright. And now that you're here..."

She took his hands now.

"...I can let you know I was always thinking of you. Even when I was unsure that day of the play, I was sure. I was just really scared that if I cared about you as much as I wanted and you died..."

There were no words. Katara just looked down her hands trembling.

He lets her grab his hands and drag him upright in the water to face her, but he's having trouble looking at her.

This isn't because of any sort of emotional thing or hesitance, this is because he loves her very much and thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world and because right now, the only thing giving her any sort of modesty at the moment is her long hair.

A wave shoves him against her some, and he doesn't pull any closer, but also doesn't draw away.

"Katara..." he says, quietly, and his hand gently touches the small of her back, as he presses a kiss to the line of her jaw, before he draws away again. "...It'd be a really, really good idea for you to get clothes on."

Katara understood, laughing gently. She just wanted to see how long Aang would go before he said that. She knew that the feelings between the two of them were far too strong for her to be in this fashion. She knew how deeply he cared: getting older hadn't changed that. But he WAS older, and she still needed to think about that. Even taking advantage of this shore leave by doing something she never did was nothing compared to being with him.

The clothes were on quickly, but Katara let her hair loose, hanging down to her shoulder blades. She looked over at him, a warm smile on her face. No, Sokka had never had anything to worry about when it came to the two of them. Theirs was a connection that had started the moment she had laid eyes on him in the iceberg."

But once she was dressed, she closed the distance between them. Her hand went to his face, noting how different it felt now: she had only been holding a softer face a few months ago. "Sorry Aang," she said softly. "I was just taking advantage of the shore leave. But now, that's only one thing that matters."

And she leaned over and kissed him.

He is older, a little wiser. In some ways, he feels older than his age, after all he's seen. In other ways, like in dealing with this, with this...thing between the two of them that's so different now, and dizzying, he has no idea what he's doing.

But he is not and has never been the type to forget how to live in the moment, and live in the moment he does, pulling her in close, as they stand in waist-deep water. And he kisses her back with all the fervent affection of a being that has lived and loved a thousand times over and yet still finds her to be the most beautiful thing in an already precious world.

Now she's just the most beautiful thing in the worlds.

There weren't any words, and as usual Katara was content with that when it came to the two of them. She wouldn't bother thinking about how brief it would be, same as the last time. All that mattered was that she could be with him. It was what she'd wanted the moment she set foot on the ship.

And the kiss was enough to send a wave of heat across her body, and now she was really glad she had gotten clothed after all. Leaning into him, she felt a release she hadn't before, a bliss she'd never had until now. She felt right here, comfortable, and time seemed to stop with him all over again.

It had always been him, and always would be, now. She wouldn't let him get away again.
