Secret Santa Meme!

[daemonomicon.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, Karl thought of a meme!

Anyway, here goes:

Da Rules:

1) Post your character to the meme
2) Anon-tag other characters' posts with what your character would get them as a present for Secret Santa
3) When someone tags your character's post with a present, tag back with your character trying to guess who it was who got it for them
4) ???
5) Profit! Have fun!

She nodded. "I know. There are a lot of people I had to say goodbye to, and those are just the ones I remember. There have been times where, even if I didn't remember, my body did. I have a feeling that much suppression might have been done for a reason. But I don't want to think of you disappearing anymore than I want to stop myself from trying to be friends here."

She sounded quiet, but determined. "I spent several years being afraid of the fire nation. I don't want to have anything keep me that afraid again. Even if people keep disappearing, I want to keep meeting them, caring about them. If I stopped after people disappeared, I might never have met you."

That point struck him harder than the others have. If he closed himself off, he'd miss someone as special as Katara was.

He bowed his head, looking ashamed. "I've forgotten people too, I can feel it. That's usually not done to us anymore, but it's hard not to worry. Still, I don't want to be afraid. It's not a healthy way to live."

She knew that Billy had overlooked that, and understood why: he was in a bad place. If she hadn't been through so many bad experiences, she was sure that she would have felt the exact same way. They were both in a lot of pain.

"I don't want you to be in pain, but I wouldn't want you to shut yourself off either Billy. I care about you just as much as I do Renne: you that way would hurt me just as bad as this. I love you how you are, and how much you've grown because of what we've all been through."

"I'm sorry, Katara. I don't want to hurt you, never. I'll struggle with it, but I'll fight this."

Billy reached for her hand shyly. "Can you forgive my lapse in rationality?"

She smiled a little. That had been all she wanted, to be honest: a Billy that would try to preserve the things that Renne had started. She had seen it with her own eyes, and didn't want Stacy to take that away by making them lose Renne.

She took it tenderly. "You're my Bonded Billy. You know the answer to that. I can hold a grudge to people who betray me long: they violate my trust, and that's a slap in the face. But you, you're my brother. All I want is for you to be strong enough to get through all of this. I care about you."

[morphitudinous]

"And I care for you, Tara. I won't let that go."

To prove his point, Billy squeezed her hand. "It'll just be a rough journey for a while."

He wouldn't smile, not for a long time, but he could stand by her.

There wasn't a question there. For Billy, it would be one of the hardest things he would have to do, losing someone he loved that much when that person had opened doors. Katara knew the feeling too: not having Aang had prepared her for this. It hurt, always.

"I know," she said, "but it won't be a journey you take alone."

And she hugged him, hard. She needed it as much as he did.

"I couldn't ask for a better companion," he whispered over her shoulder, surrendering to her embrace and returning it. Maybe his ribs would complain in the morning, but he still needed to feel that all was not lost.
