Memories from Western Air Temple
Chapter 25
Rainfall Benders

A long time ago Zuko had loved rain but he had forgotten that during the years spent in exile, when rain had been nothing but a nuisance for the crew sailing the seas of the world. Still, it was understandable that Zuko’s love had changed into bitter hatred, for everything and anything had earned Zuko’s hatred during those three years.
That day, beneath the shelter of his family’s summer cottage, as he watched the rain fall in a downpour Zuko felt something completely different from hatred and anger. The drumming of the rain brought a smile to Zuko’s lips and the prince felt a surge of affection that was as great as he could feel for a natural phenomenon.
“There you are”, Toph’s voice came and Zuko actually jumped in surprise before turning to look at the girl, who was smirking at him in a knowing manner and that expression told Zuko that he had been caught and he rolled his eyes at the earthbender’s antics.
“Was there something you needed or do you simply enjoy sneaking up on people?” Zuko drawled with a lot less annoyance in his tone than there would have usually been. Something about the rain seemed to subdue him a bit.
“We just wondered where you disappeared off to”, Toph replied easily, shrugging her shoulders in a manner that indicated that she had not really been worried about the firebender. Zuko was not offended by this, actually he was slightly flattered, and spoke in an amused manner: “Well, now you know where I disappeared to. Was there anything else?”
“No, not really”, Toph said and Zuko turned his eyes back to the rain that continued to fall. He wondered how much the girl behind him would mind if he was to grab her and pull her to run beneath the rain clouds. If the prince was lucky he might end up with bruised skin but in reality such an act would probably have resulted in bruised bones. Not to mention there was someone else Zuko had in mind for the endeavour.
“Ah, I found you Zuko!” Speak of the devil. That had been Aang’s voice. Zuko smiled widely as he turned towards the approaching airbender and greeted: “Hey, Aang. You were looking for me too?”
“Of course”, Aang assured with his voice bright with joy and his cheeks flushed with glee. The boy finally reached the duo and his eyes fell on Toph. “Oh, Toph already found you.”
A thoughtful frown crossed Zuko’s face when he heard Aang’s tone change. A brief glance at Toph showed that the girl had lifted an eyebrow, assuring Zuko that he had not imagined hearing Aang’s voice lose the playful tone and turn into a dull drawl. It was almost like Aang had not wanted to see Toph.
Deciding that even if Aang and Toph were having a fight of sorts it was not any of his business, Zuko reached out and planted a hand on Aang’s shoulder. The gesture brought pearl grey eyes up to look into his own golden ones and Zuko offered the other boy a welcoming smile as he spoke: “Would you like to dance under the rain with me?”
A silence followed, during which Aang blinked at Zuko in a surprised manner and stared at the teen in bewilderment. Finally, a sudden breath came from the airbender’s mouth as the boy smiled softly, closed his eyes and opened them to grin brilliantly at the prince. A hand came up to grasp the one on his shoulder as Aang replied: “I’d love to.” And with that Aang twirled around underneath Zuko's arm so that he could drag the fire prince after him by the hand he had grabbed. The boy’s quick steps were light on stone but Zuko managed to keep up with no problems as the two rushed into the open area of the courtyard only a couple of metres away.
The sudden feeling of cold wetness on his face blinded Zuko momentarily and so he did not notice Aang stop in front of him and ended up having his chest bump against Aang’s back in a manner that reminded Zuko of that time at the Sun Warrior’s ceremony, only that their positions were reversed and this time only their right hands were intertwined instead of both.
A brief chuckle came from Aang and Zuko’s thoughts dismissed the memories they had been occupied with in favour of releasing Aang’s hand and moving around the Avatar to grasp both of the appendages that were now slick with water. Even with the shadows of the evening and the rain blocking his sight Zuko could still make out the deep grey of Aang’s eyes and the fire prince grinned for all he was worth.
Prompting a surprised yelp from Aang, Zuko yanked on the hands that he was squeezing tightly within his own, so that the grip would not slip, and stepped backwards with a splash that he did not bother with as his foot met a puddle. He took another step and yet another one, allowing his legs to cross as his steps quickened and Aang started to move along, their two forms soon spinning in a circle at a dizzying speed.
It should have been uncomfortable to have rainwater trickling down underneath his clothes but Zuko barely noticed such details like his clothes being weighted down when they were wet or his boots having been filled with water by now in the downpour. There was a foreign sense of freedom swelling within the prince which he would have recognized easily if he had still remembered what it felt like to be a child. And, without any other way to fully express the emotions raging inside his chest, Zuko laughed. He laughed because he was simply that happy, and he laughed because Aang was laughing as well.
To be continued...
Author's Notes: The chapter after this will contain the same events, only from Aang's point of view.
