chapter 18

We eventually stopped by a lake to let everyone wash up and just relax a little before moving on. Everyone seemed to like me after we spent that day just talking about anything. Toph seemed to really like my company, she told me that she wished she could play with my hair or something but they know they can't touch me. I really don't want to have visions about any of them. Sokka was helping suki clean herself and just over all being over protective of her, which she didn't take kindly to. Toph and I were sitting along the edge of the lake with our feet in the water as I looked around and admired the nature. That was until I looked over and saw aang practicing his water bending. Watching the way he elegantly pulled the water to and fro was very pleasing to the eye. However my eyes started to drift down to watch the movement of his hands, to his arms. Watching his muscles flex with each movement was getting to me. I watched his back muscles flex and oh God, was that just lovely. However the giant scar on his back stopped me from thinking anymore dirty thoughts. I stood up in the water to walk out to him.

"Its about time you did something, your heart rate was all over the place" toph smirked at me.

"Oh shut up, you don't even know what I was looking at" I lightly splashed her.

"Oh I have more then a good idea" she wiped the water off her face, then shooed me away with her hand. I walked up to aang, his back facing me.

"Is it still tender" he didn't even flinch and kept bending the water.

"Is what still tender" he was bending with a smile on his face.

"The scar... on your back.... from azula" he stopped bending the water letting it splash down around us and getting us even more wet.

"Why are you asking about that" he turned to face me, the smile gone from his face.

"Because I can make it go away... heal your skin to make it look like the scar was never there" he studied my eyes and face before he sat down into the water.

"No, it remindes me of my failures" I moved to sit next to him in the water. I pulled some water and bended it around my hand and placed it onto his scare. He hissed and pulled a little away from my hand.

"I didn't ask you if you wanted it gone, I asked you if it is tender. Judging from your reaction, I would say it is" he started to get up to move away from me.

"I said i-" I cut him off by grabbing his hand and yanking him back into the water. He landed with a splash making sokka and suki look at us, toph put her foot on the bottom of the lake floor.

"I am here to do whats best for you, regardless if its what you want me to do or not" he didn't fight me to get up again and just looked at me.

"Why" I put my hand back onto his scar to continue healing it, he winced a little but didn't pull away and continued to look at me.

"Because... thats what love is aang" I broke eye contact to move behind him to continue. He kept looking at the spot I was just in for a little longer before he looked infront of him with his head hanging down.

"YA GET IT GIRL" toph yelled making a circle with her fist in the air.

"SHUT UP YA SLIMY BITCH" I yelled back at her and we chuckled.

"Slimy bitch? Really?" Aang chuckled.

"Creative curssing, nothing's better" he chuckled again. I finished healing his scare, his back looked like it was never there to start with. I glided my hands around his back so I was now hugging him from behind with my hands on his strong chest.

"But I think you might be better" I whispered into his ear is I then glided my teeth across his earlobe.

"Your evil" he groaned softly so no one else would hear him.

"I have no idea what you're talking about aang~" I purred his name at the end as I glided my hands down his chest getting closer to his crotch.

"YO, NONE OF THAT HERE" sokka yelled as he splashed us with water. Aang awkwardly laughed and I laughed.
