SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I'm alive. Don't worry.
You see, I have been so stressed and a lot of events of happened in my life. With millions of projects on my back and a lot of sporting events and tests and crap, I had NO time to update or some up with ideas. So here's a one shot thing. I'm thinking of turning into a story because I am completely brain dead for my current story, "Powerful Words'". So here is something that I just had the urge to do. Tell me if it's any good and if I should continue this.
They had never once forgotten each other. Never.
As their feet dragged across the snow, they were leaving trails behind them. Each imprint in the ice a different memory of their broken pasts. With eyes locked on each other, it was something they had missed from each other. Each breath was a cloud forming from their dry and lustful lips. Their need for each other was desperate, none dared to let that side of them come out. As they stopped in front of each other so did their thoughts.
"Hello, Fire Lord Zuko."
"Hello, Lady Katara."
She quickly handed him the package of signed letters and papers of business, which he took carefully. Tucking the scrolls under his regal Fire Nation clothes he gave her a thankful nod. Silence captured the moment, a horrible stabbing of the truth to their hearts.
She could have gotten any villager to come and deliver the scrolls.
He could have easily gotten any guard to retrieve the scrolls for him.
Their excuse; to make sure it gets there personally.
"How is life treating you?"
The Fire Lord looked up to her eyes, staring into those icy oceans. Life? How was life treating him? In truth, it was an impossible question to answer. No man on earth or the heavens could possible answer it truthfully. Even so, he answered her anyway.
"Good. I've moved on. I don't like to dwell on the past anymore. And you?"
Katara looked up into his eyes, staring into a pair of matching fires. Life had become a mystery to her. Her life was full of questions that would not and could not be answered. So many memories and so many mistakes only to be regretted. But she answered him with the same blue eyes and the same peaceful face as always.
"Fine. I've moved on also. Life has been great. Just like I always wanted."
Nodding, they both understood what each other meant. They both glanced back, trying to escape their own mind which was beginning to come back to thought. Shuffling their feet in the snow they stepped back, giving each other fake smiles.
"Goodbye Zuko. Enjoy your trip back."
"I will, Katara. Tell everyone hello."
Fire and Water turned around to continue on their long walk back home. Trails of heavy footsteps and heavy hearts were left behind every step. None dared to look back, for it might have been a crime to their soul for one last look.
A blistering wind swept across the snowy land, revealing the naked truth behind both of them.
Nobody was happy. Nobody was fine. Nobody had what they always wanted. Nobody didn't dwell on the past full of memories.
They had lied.
And they had never moved on.

I actually liked this.
And I KNOW this has been done a MILLION TIMES INFINTY. But I don't care. It's a really fun idea. I might want to continue this. I don't know. What do you think? Anybody got suggestion or idea/request to go along with this? I really want to continue this but I have no idea right now on how to.
R and R please.
