Don't You Even Dare
"Aang!" and she is ripping away from him and running with open arms to that pathetic boy. And it shouldn't hurt, because they've only just barely formed a tenative sort of truce. But it does hurt, it hurts almost like it did when Uncle was injured by Azula. It hurts and he finds himself snarling at Aang as she runs to embrace the boy.
Her arms enclose around Aang's neck in a gentle motion, a happy motion. Aang seems happy too, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. It's sort of sickening in it's indescribable sweetness. But then Aang looks up and sees the snarl on Zuko's face.
It's okay, Aang is snarling back now.
Somehow, deep inside, they both know what's going on. They know this isn't merely loathing on the you-tried-to-capture-me/you-broke-my-ribs-with-one-of-your-stupid-air-tricks/we-once-sort-of-hated-each-other scale. No. Now they've reached a tug-of-war over Katara, and for some utterly bizarre reason it's not really clear who's winning.
