Not part of the Story:(I can't think of a title. I'll take suggestions... I'm thinking avatar Love or something seeing as my story Aang's mostly the main character who has the problems.

Look. I've never created an anime fan-fic nor a yaoi/shounen-ai one nor a romance. This is my second time I ever wrote it like a book and not a script. So don't bite my head off for cheezy love scenes/phrases, horrible battle sequences, or improper way to use dialog.

This takes place after Episode 5, the episode where Sokka gets his sword. Again, sorry. This is my first fan-fic on this site... Also, seeing as I can't make "breaks" I'll be putting them in as... well "breaks")

Chapter 1:Looking into one's eyes. Or not.

Young Avatar Aang had just finished practicing Earthbending and training with Katara on Waterbending. He sat with a thump and pressed his back against a cool rock and closed his eyes. Sokka was messing around with his sword.

"Hyah!" yelled Sokka while he slashed into nothing. He suddenly swung up and down but before he finished the swing, his sword slipped and sliced into the rock right next to Aang's head. Aang opened his eyes right when the hit and quickly rose, cutting his left arm along the way.

The pain of the cut mixed with him being tired from training made him collapse. "Aang!" Sokka came running and grabbed Aang. "Toph! Katara! Get over here!" The last thing Aang saw was Momo flying up as Katara's face appeared.

(BREAK)

Aang dreamed of Avatar Roku and some other Avatar. He was different but Aang couldn't place it. He awoke and rose quickly. He noticed that he was in a cave. A few droplets of water had hit him in the face. He noticed his arm was also bandaged. There was a fire around the corner. Aang got up, grabbing at his arm, and headed toward the light. Expecting to see Katara, he sped up a bit, ignoring the flinching pain. Once he turned, it was a member of the water tribe but not Katara.

Sokka looked up from the fire at Aang then back down, blushing. " Sorry," he apologized softly.

"Where are we?" asked Aang, still holding his covered arm.

"Some cave. It's in the middle of an unnamed plain," replied Sokka.

"Toph and Katara?"

"Toph went to practice some new Earthbending move with her Meteorite Bracelet and Katara left with Appa to the closest town for food and other supplies. Momo's... somewhere." Sokka threw some wood into the fire which grew. "They'll be a couple hours."

Aang winced in pain. Sokka noticed this and started to rummage through his green bag. Aang closed his eyes, "No it's nothing," lied Aang. Sokka pulled out a bottle of cream and took it beside Aang.

"This'll help. Katara said it's almost as good as her healing water except slower," assured Sokka. He took off Aang's bandages and lightly rubbed some on. He started to dress the Avatar's wound again.

"Why didn't she just heal me herself?" wondered Aang.

"There was some blood and she didn't want to go through the pain of separating blood and water," answered Sokka as he finished. "All done!" he smiled while hitting the arm.

"Ouch!" Aang cried out.

"Oops, so... sorry," Sokka panicked. He lost his footing and tripped onto Aang. The both fell over onto the rock floor. Aang hit his head while landing on his back. Sokka was able to stop his fall with his hands. The watertribesman was looming so close over Aang that they could fell each other's hot breathe.

Aang started to blush, too close!" Aang blew off Sokka. Sokka landed across the cave.

"Ow!" yelled the tanned teen as he sat up, "you benders and your magic!" He turned, facing the wall. Aang did the same, also turning red. The cave exploded with light. Both the boys shielded their eyes.

"Twinkles Toes! Sokka! The metal man is back!" screamed Toph.

"Quick, get on Appa!" Katara had arrived just in time. Momo appeared and landed on Sokka. Aang quickly gathered supplies and floated onto Appa. Sokka, Toph, and Katara followed.

"Yip yip!" Aang said. At this, the six legged bison flew off. Sokka looked over the edge to see the man. He was staring at them with enormous amount of focus. He started to walk again.

"So, where are we off to next?" asked Toph, gripping onto Sokka.

Aang gave a sharp glare but quickly ended it. His heart making "pang" sounds. " I don't know. I guess closer to the Fire Palace." The bison flew off. Sokka was eying Aang but he shook it off.

!Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 break!

"Seriously, where's hawky?" wondered Sokka when he got back on Appa.

"Ha, we sent him to my parents so I can tell them I'm okay!" answered Toph.

"Sorry for not asking you Sokka," chimed Katara.

"Atleast we got rich over it, "grinned Toph, rolling a silver piece inbetween her fingers. She jumped off Appa and got her Meteorite Bracelet She fell down, spread her fingers and toes, and went to sleep. Katara climbed down and snuggled onto a mat. Aang popped up and then floated up on the bison.

"Are you okay?" asked the tattooed boy, blushing.

Sokka was a bit taken aback. " My back hurts abit from the wheelbarrow but nothing a good night's rest can't cure. What about you? You took a painful hit when you flew into that statue."

Aang closed his eyes, "no, I'm fine. just a little light headed. I'll be f-"

"You're lying,"interrupted Sokka. Aang opened his eyes.

"What? What do you mean?"

"You close your eyes when you lie."

"No, no I don't."

"Yes, you do!"

"But Katara would've-"

"She didn't. That doesn't mean it's not true. She just doesn't notice you as much as I do."

"But I thought she loved me. I, I love her." Aang was starting to cry. The tears were only halfway down when Sokka pulled Aang into his chest in a hug and held his head. Aang close his eyes. He liked the warmth.

"I've lost Princess Yue. I know how you somewhat feel right now." Sokka lightly pushed Aang back a bit so he could look into Aang's eyes. The watertribesman brought his head close to Aang's. He got closer. And closer. They were soon close enough to kiss. Sokka started to when Aang stopped him

"No, please don't do that Sokka," requested Aang as he looked down. "Please..." He quietly went down and laid on Appa. e stood still, confused. Sokka grew sad and tired and he went to sleep. Aang closed his eyes.

Sokka was warmer.

(BREAK)

Aang woke up while being thrust in the air by a sudden mountain. he landed by Appa painfully. " Ow."

"C'mon Twinkle Toes! You've got training!" yelled Toph. Appa licked Aang up and he ran up to Toph. "We're gonna battle. This will probably be our last main training. Once you beat me, or atleast get halfway because, c'mon, you aren't going to beat me," snorted Toph, "I'll start teaching you more advance Earthbending. Positions"

Aang took the left. He posed for an Airbending move. Toph went to her side and held her hands out in her usual pose, the one where she looks as if holding two balls, her usual fighting pose. " and no 'Wavy Hands' or 'Fancy Feet'." Aang changed his pose fr Earthbending. Sokka popped up and decided to watch. he sat down and Momo landed on his head.

Aang caused a mini quake with his right foot. It was heading to Toph when she made one too! They collided and canceled each other out. Toph moved the ground forward(backwards to Aang). he started to fall over but landed on his hands. he cause two rocks to shoot at Toph with his hands as he got back on his feet. She made a shield. After the rocks hit it, she shoot it at Aang. He, in turn, cause a shape large enough for him to go through it. He stomped and cause rocks to hold Toph's feet still. She kicked the dirt off and stomped. Aang waited while Toph formed a smile. Suddenly, Aang fell into a hole. "Not yet." mocked Toph as she walked off. Aang pushed himself up with air.

Katara was walking up to the hole when Aang appeared. "Aang, how are you feeling? Hurt?" asked the girl.

"Um..." he made sure to close his eyes, "I'm just fine."

"Hm. Okay." Katara left to wash Appa as Toph lazed about. Aang turned to Sokka who was making a face between a smug " I told you so." and a frowning "I'm sorry it's true." He ended up just laughing. Aang glared and turned around.

"Sorry Aang," Sokka gasped after finishing, " but i, well-"

"Combustion Man's back!" called Toph.

"I still love that name," proclaimed Sokka as he got up. They gathered up all the supplies. They hopped on Appa and flew off. The metal man was walking to them. Aang sticked his tongue out at him. Combustion Man shot a blast at Appa but Aang jumped off and tried to stop it with his Airbending. The blast knocked back Aang and by some weird twist of fate, he hit Sokka. They fell over and started to head into the nearby forest.

"Aang! Sokka!" screamed Katara. She bent over the saddle's side and notice the y were too far down. "We can't stop yet. We have to lose Combustion Man." They left.

Aang was weak but managed to shoot a blast of air so that it slowed down the fall. He then made sure he'd hit the ground first and Sokka landed on him. Coupled with the twigs and leaves, they hit the ground only enough for Aang to lose all the air of his lungs and faint.

(BREAK)

Aang awoke to see Sokka next to him over a fire cooking what looked like fish. " De javu."

"Oh, you're awake," Sokka said relived. He grabbed a 'fish' and handed it to Aang. Aang looked at it and turned away.

"You know I'm a vegetarian," said Aang. He laughed in his mind. "Even Katara knows that!" he thought as he smirked.

"It's a fish-shaped leaf that, with a little heat, tastes quite good," explained Sokka.

"Hmph," pouted Aang. he gave up. Sokka knew more than Katara he looked down blushing. "Sorry about last night."

"It's okay," replied Sokka. His eyes growing watery as he trembled a bit. He rubbed the coming tears away. "You may just not love me the same way."

"May-Maybe I do." Aang was playing with the leaf, growing beet red all the while. Sokka stared at Aang utterly flabbergasted. He started to blush quite feverishly.

"Maybe you do," said Sokka quietly

"May- I mean, yes, I thought I love Katara."

"You do or you don't. Please choose. I hate when I'm loving but not loved back."

"O-Okay." Aang sat there for a few minutes. He stood up in front of Sokka.

"Huh, did you cho-" Sokka was cut off by Aang's lips. He closed his eyes and brought Aang close to him in a hug. They broke apart and smiled.

"As long as no one knows. I don't think the people would like a gay Avatar saving the day. Even if they think he's dead." Sokka grinned and nodded his head yes. They kissed once more then stopped. Coincidently, Katara and Toph appeared right then.

That night, Sokka slept next to Aang.
