1. a kiss on the cheek.
2. a kiss on the mouth (can be chaste or amorous).
3. a hug (brief, romantic, friendly, etc).
4. spoon (don't know what spooning is? direct your attention here).
5. gift them something (i.e. chocolate, roses, jewelry, swords).
6. compliment them.
7. profess your undying love.
8. massage them.
9. make it awkward. cheese it up.
10. your pick!

You work so hard, and I always feel a buzz of life coming from you. But I worry you could make yourself sick...

[He realizes something and chuckles half-heartedly]

I think it's the Bond's doing. Renne always does this to me, and I'm getting my first tastes of how it feels.

Katara shook her head, trying to laugh it off, but she did stay quiet a moment. Yes, it must have had something to do with the Bond: she actually did have something that she kept to herself because she didn't want to bother anyone with her problems.

[She gave him a constrained smile, then let him spoon, because she didn't want him to see that she did look sad]

Thank you. It's just...I kinda hoped I'd see him by now, that's all.

[morphitudinous]

He could definitely feel it, though. He tried to project a gentle sort of love back to her.

"Aang?"

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Katara said, lowering her eyes. "I know its an old grievance, I get that, but its not something I can turn off, not ever. He's the first person I've ever realy loved this much. But all this time has passed, and he's never been here. Maybe I shoudl just face facts that Aang..."

She closed her eyes, but that didn't matter when they were Bonded. A wave of sadness swept over Billy, a quiet pain that only he would know about.

[morphitudinous]

Oh, he definitely felt that. Taking a sharp breath, he held her protectively for another few moments and then maneuvered around to face her.

"And to think that I've only been worried about my friends. I've almost completely lost hope of ever seeing them again, and I love them, but I'm not...in love with them. I can't imagine losing someone I was that close to, and knowing that they're probably asleep in the pods isn't much of a comfort. I know."

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Katara held back, and hear she did let a silent sob go. She had kept it in for as long as she could, but a part of her missed him so badly it literally hurt inside. There wasn't a way to stop the tears.

"It isn't and I miss him and I'm really sorry I'm like this, but its all I can think about sometimes. All that time we had together, and I feel like I never got to cherish them! I mean, a part of me always knew he liked me like that, but I was so slow to notice. If I never get to see him again..."

She put her hands to her chest. She felt really, really bad about this, but it was only so long she could keep this to herself.

[morphitudinous]

"Don't apologize."

He holds her close, rubbing her back in slow circles. No shame, he's here to do what he can for you.

"You saw your other friends again, right? He's here. I think that everyone who doesn't wake up during the journey will be awoken after the battle, when it's safe again. If we win, we'll find them again---and if we're luckier, before then. But it hurts, I know."

After that, he's quiet, trying to gently convey his love for her. All he wants is for Katara and Aang to have their chance.

Katara was quiet, listening to him. She knew she had better self control than this, but lately it felt like she'd been losing parts of herself again, and there was never any reprieve for that. The worse was everyday seeing couples on the ship, and that longing for him reached its peak and she had to actually remove herself or she'd burst into tears. They'd almost lost Aang several times during the war, he could have been the Fire Lord's prisoner, but he always managed to escape. To think in all this time she'd never get to see his smiling face again, that love in his eyes meant for her...

"I guess I'm being silly," Katara said, wiping some tears. "I mean, I should just be able to cry, it just feels harder now. I've been trained to master emotion, to use it rather than be used by it, but Aang is the one thing I could never master myself for. I just miss him a lot."

[morphitudinous]

Billy's own emotions were being roiled by this, mingling with his own worries and pain. If she paid attention, she would feel him trembling just slightly.

"You've mastered so much, Katara," he whispered, holding her as long as she needed him to. "From what little I've learned of love from my family and friends, it's elusive and powerful. If it slips a little, it's only because your love is sufficiently strong to anchor you. That passion can inspire you to do great things."

And a little weakness every now and then is to be expected. Heck, he's crumbled around her fairly often, but he doubts it'd be good to bring that up now. I love you, sis.

She did indeed feel Billy's trembling, and mentally hugged him. She hated making him feel the pain she felt, but at the same time was glad that he was there. At least he was here to lend support.

"I know you're right," Katara said, leaning into the hug. "It just really gets hard, you know? I think about him all the time, and it just gets overwhelming being without him. But I would agree with you there: his love does anchor me a lot of the time. Whatever i do, I'm always thinking of him."

She was grateful, definitely. She moved away from him, giving him a smile. I love you too Billy.
