Prompt-- 067. Snow.
To Zuko, it meant cold.
To Toph, it meant disability.
To Sokka, it meant home; it meant welcome and comfort and faces he recognized. He wouldn't have to worry about tact or customs, because this way of life was his way of life, and even if he did offend someone, it wouldn't result in bad blood because they'd be his family, and this family never held anything against each other. The food would be delicious and the atmosphere familiar, and for just a few moments at a time, he'd feel exactly as he'd felt as a small child (when there was no pride or deep thoughts, just sensations and easy satisfaction).
But most of all, it meant the upper hand on his two element-bending significant others. For once, the tables would be turned. Because though he lacked the ability to control it like his sister could, ice was still his element, too. And later, he came to realize how true that was, observing with glee: Zuko and Toph in the snow was almost as cute as it was hilarious.
So for now, he would aim as many snow balls as he wanted, laugh as obnoxiously as he pleased, and for once bask under the narrowed-eye glares sent his way rather than bristle. And each time would justify every "useless not-a-bender" comment and similar jests like that ever thrown his way. ...And, yeah, once they left and there was no icy chill to slow or weaken Zuko's fire blasts, and actual solid earth for Toph to bend...yeah, Sokka was in for the worst beatings (it was definitely plural) of his life.
But it was so worth it.
