PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: This is my first T rated story, and it's been hard for me to keep that rating as I've been writing more chapters. So I've decided to make an M rated sequel (it will just be called "All Smoothed 2") rather than continuing to add chapters to this one. This chapter will be edited down a bit to help keep the T rating. The M rated sequel will have the full version of this chapter, so there will be a chapter overlap between the two.

I just thought I'd let you guy know in case you were/weren't interested in reading the smuttier parts of the story.

DISCLAIMER: Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I do not make profit off the characters or settings I use in this story. They belong to Bryan Konietzko, Michael DiMartino, Viacom, Nickelodeon, and all of those other people.

Katara was beginning to feel like she shouldn't be watching something so private, but at the same time she felt like she had to. She had always been very protective of Aang, and it was hard for her to not feel needed. She tried to imagine it was her that was lying beneath him, but she still couldn't get past the sight of Zuko. His large arms clung to Aang showing no signs of letting go, and his hands roamed up and down his tattooed back. Katara could hear every sweet sound they made as they caressed each other. They sighed with pleasure at every gentle touch, and the low humming of their voices mingled together as they smothered each other with a deep kiss. The moist suckling sounds made Katara blush. It was embarrassing for her to admit it, but she was discovering she liked watching them. Even though they were both boys, it was more romantic than anything she'd ever dreamed of.

Aang and Zuko were completely entangled in each other's arms, and the breaks between kisses eventually ceased altogether. They were exploring each other's mouths with lustful enthusiasm, and their roaming hands finally relaxed. Aang's clasped Zuko's cheeks to help guide their kiss, while Zuko's hands rested on Aang's backside. Katara's eyes were glued to their supple lips, and she was still amazed by how gentle Zuko was being with Aang.

Aang suddenly began to tickle Zuko; this new and spontaneous sign of affection caught him off guard. And he tried to push his friend off of him to stop the relentless tickling. When Aang stopped for a mere second, Zuko took the opportunity to push him off. Aang fell backwards and made a dent in the wet sand; it was another one of the many things that brought out his wonderful laughter. As he rolled over and held his sides, Zuko pounced on him and kissed him on the cheek. Before Aang could react, Zuko immediately got up and ran towards the water. While Katara waited for Aang to get up, she listened to the loud splashes of Zuko's feet, which began to slow down as the firebender also awaited Aang. Katara's eyes were finally adjusting to the lack of light, and she could make out more of Zuko's striking features. He had his arms bent behind his head as he turned towards Aang, and every impressive bulge of his muscles came into view as he flexed. Katara couldn't blame Aang for being so willing to fall into Zuko's arms, and she suddenly remembered her own hug with the prince. She wished she had taken more time to appreciate how it felt to press her body against his, but she had had more important things to concentrate on at the time.

"Come on!" Zuko said in a harsh whisper as he rolled up his pant legs.

Aang stood up and took a few moments to stretch, and Katara's patience was rewarded. He was gorgeous! She had seen him shirtless more times than she could count, but she felt as if she was going to die every time he made even the slightest flex. But Katara's view was cut short when Aang turned to Zuko.

Katara held her breath for a moment. The boy she loved now had his back turned to her, and his beautiful body was turned towards Zuko…not her. Katara felt tears collecting in her eyes. She would give almost anything to be on the other side, but she slowly realized that she was at peace with it. She got a hold of herself and wiped her tears; a motherly smile replaced her heartbroken expression. As Aang followed Zuko into the shallow water, Katara felt as if she were letting go of Aang in a way. At least for now. She was so proud of everything he had accomplished, and he had earned this touching relationship with Zuko. If the prince was to be the Avatar's calm before the storm, then Katara found that deep down she could only be happy for him.
