Another prompt for Kataang Week: Butterflies. This one is also from Katara's POV and takes place sometime in like the second season or whatever. Just imagine it sometime befor Sozin's Comet.

The morning was quiet and slow it seemed, but that was probably just from the grogginess of waking up. I yawned and stretched my arms up to the sky and looked around. Everyone was still asleep. Everyone except Aang. Where was he? I looked around, standing up and brushing off my kimono. I shrugged it off thinking that he was probably off to the river nearby to get ready for the day. I was about to go to the river myself when a hand on my wrist stopped me. I spun around to see who had halted my walk only to see the young Avatar.

"Aang?" I whispered, hoping not to wake up Sokka and Toph.

"I have to show you something. It's really, really cool. I found it earlier this morning and I think you'll really like it."

The boy smiled brightly and I nodded. Aang led me into the small forest. It was a little eerie in there. It was chilly outside with dew on the grass causing my leggings to become soaked through the plants. And there was a morning fog draped lightly around the trees that made the place take on a ghostly feature. I decided to pretend not to notice. If anyone came along I knew Aang could take them off in no time. So I had nothing to be scared about.

That's when I noticed that he was still gripping my wrist. I blushed a little as I saw the sight. It was rather funny. Aang was walking quickly, dragging me along and I was barely paying attention to where we were going and more of where we were. I guess my thoughts escaped me because I found myself laughing out loud. Aang stopped and looked at me.

"What's so funny?" he smiled and cocked his head. I knew he was up to laugh at anything but he'd probably find this more embarrassing than humorous. So I kept the thought to myself.

"Oh nothing."

He raised his shoulders for a moment and dropped them quickly as if he really didn't mind my sudden outburst. But the fact that he was cutting off the circulation of my hand still remained and it didn't feel like he was going to let go anytime soon. So I took a risky move. I wiggled my wrist from his grip and laced my fingers with his. It seemed a little silly but it was also soothing. I was holding hands with Aang and that made my stomach flip and I liked that feeling. I just hoped he didn't mind.

We stopped in front of two big bushes and Aang lifted a finger up to his lips with his free hand signaling for me to be silent. I didn't know why he did that, neither of us had really said much the whole way here. We carefully made our way through the bushes and before us stood a foggy meadow. It was beautiful! Despite the fog, there was wild flowers and poppies and tall grass as far as I could see! Aang was right, I did love it.

"Oh Aang, it's-."

"Wait!" He interrupted. "You haven't seen the best part!"

Aang smiled again and, to my disappointment, let go of my hand. Then he took a step back and brought his arms back to his waist, positioning his hands out towards the meadow. Taking a step forward on his left foot, Aang pushed his arms and hands forward creating quite a strong gust of wind towards the meadow. I tilted my head in confusion but the sight before me left me in splendid shock.

"Isn't it great?" Aang asked, pulling me out of my daze.

"Yes…" I finally answered. "Yes, it is."

I stared out again. Hundreds of butterflies swarmed the skies that once hid beneath the grass. It was amazing! I never knew that something so calm could spring to life in just a matter of seconds. In a way it reminded me of Aang. Sometimes he could feel down but if you gave him a playful nudge his happiness would take total control of him. This discovery made me love the sight even more. I looked at Aang as he ran out into the flowers and grass and butterfly picture.

"Come on!" he yelled at me.

I nodded, smiled, and obeyed. I ran out to the middle of the meadow next to him and watched as the butterflies swarmed around and in-between us. Then Aang fell onto his back in the grass and stared at the sky. I copied his motions. My eyes shifted from the skies and over to Aang. He was looking at me with a great smile.

"I knew you'd like it."

There was a spark of triumph in his voice which made me laugh a little. He really knew how to make me feel special. So in return for taking me out here, I leaned over to my side and kissed his cheek. A small blush found it's way to his cheeks as he closed his eyes and took in a deep sigh.

I never knew butterflies could bring me such joy and I definitely never knew butterflies could bring out the brightest side of Aang. But they did and now whenever I see one, I think of the time in the meadow. It was only a small break from all of the craziness we were living in but it cleared my mind and gave me a moment to spend with the one I loved most. And who wouldn't want that?

A/N: I didn't feel like writing another one for nerves like butterflies in your stomach so I thought this would make up for that. I just thought it would be cute for Aang to do something sweet for Katara like that. :) -beyondthesettingsun
