Author's Notes: Someday I’ll go back to happy!Aang/Katara fanworks.
Katara awoke with a jolt, sitting up in bed and rubbing her eyes. What happened? Glancing around the room, she could see nothing that explained her sudden awakening. Katara slipped out of bed and shrugged on the Fire Nation cloak. Opening the door - wincing at the groan of metal against metal - she made her way quickly to Aang’s room.
Sitting down on the edge of his bed, Katara put her hand on Aang’s shoulder and frowned at the heat emanating from him. Is he feverish? She inched closer and put her hand on his forehead. Despite the fever, Aang was ghostly pale, so much so that he seemed to glow unnaturally in the darkness.
Suddenly, tears filled her eyes and Katara sobbed, slapping her hands over her mouth, not wanting to give voice to her sorrow. I need to be strong. Closing her eyes, she took several deep breaths before laying down beside Aang.
“You have to wake up, Aang,” she said, clasping his right hand in both of hers. “You need to. I-I just…we need you here.” Pushing forward, she pressed her lips against his hot, pale cheek. But there was no response from him, no change from the deathly still. Katara stared at him, feeling the tears run down her cheeks, and buried her face against the pillow, painful, choking sobs hitching in her throat.
She would be strong tomorrow.
