Watching the sunset.
Sitting on the edge of the cliff above the Air Temple watching the sunset, Zuko couldn't help but think of another sunset and how different it was.
When he'd suggested a picnic, the response had been an enthusiastic "Sure!" rather than a sigh and "Whatever..." The walk up to the cliff had been cheerful. Sokka had enjoyed the food and talked about different places he'd eaten as they traveled across the world.
It had always been a compliment that Mai cared about him. That he could pull her just the tiniest bit out of her shell, even coax an occasional smile. And he cared about her too, but he cared about so much more. The compliment of being the only thing that mattered to her had always warred with the fact that he couldn't share anything else that mattered to him without boring her.
"Hey Sokka?"
"Hmmm?"
"What do you think about the color orange?"
The water tribesman laughed. "It's a decent enough color, but I like sunsets with pink wispy clouds best. Why do you ask?"
"No real reason." He leaned over for a small kiss as the last of the glow faded from the sky. "I love you."
"Love you too."
A/N : Internet Relationships updated! Yeah!
A/N2 : The featured pic for this trope (which i found though the random selector) is Zuko and Mai watching the sunset. So, obviously I had to do a drabble about Zuko watching a sunset with Sokka and how different the two relationships are.
