random night time times

[screwthejewels]

[Somewhere on the island, months and months before the actual posting of this post, in a Secret Base, there is a boy lying in bed. For some inexplicable reason, perhaps a recent event or another is distracting him, he cannot sleep!]

...

[After a few tosses and turns, he decides to roll out of bed and see if that will help.]

A-Ah-- Oof! ... Now why did I think that was a good idea?

[He sits up and looks both ways, then another brilliant idea comes to him. He tiptoes across the floor of the base and, very gently, pokes the figure in the other bed a few times.]

Hey, Katara. Kataraaaaa.

Are you asleep?

Thank you.

You're very welcome. ♥

The thing is, I know that I'd be pretty different. I haven't told anyone this yet, but...

If I wasn't a bender then my mom would still be alive.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Your mom would...? *going to be reaching for her--* What?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

A long time ago, the Fire Nation started doing raids on my Water Tribe. They would capture all the benders and take them away until there was none left. But then I was born, and they eventually found out about it, so one day they came back. My mom lied to them and said that she was the bender so they would take her instead.

... they didn't intend to capture the bender that time.

... That's...

[I LOVE HUGS]

*AREN'T HUGS GREAT*

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

[YES VERY]


I like to think that she'd be proud of what we're doing though, and if I regret it then she would have died for nothing.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she's very proud of you. I would be, if I were your mother!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

I think that I'm more of the mother in this relationship.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

-- ah, nothing.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... If you say so.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

... you said something about hypocrisy?

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

... Oh, yes, that.

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

... you don't have to tell me about it.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay. You just told me something very important, after all, so... Do you remember when I, um... turned into a child?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

[nods!]

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

I was pretty different, wasn't I?

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I just figured that you simply just changed as you got older.

[screwthejewels.livejournal.com]

Well... Yes, I did, but it was actually a pretty instant change. I mean, what I meant was, I know firsthand how one single event can change a person, so...

-- N-Not that I'm going to contradict the rest of what I said!

[usedwatergun.livejournal.com]

It's alright. Go on.
