As Good As Brothers

by AnnabethLuna

Sokka's never sure whether to be irritated, awed, or protective when he's around Aang. But one thing he does know is that he wouldn't trade a second of it. 61 drabbles from Sokka's perspective (one per episode), showing his relationship to Aang.

9. The Waterbending Scroll

Katara was cooking; Sokka sat with Aang out of earshot. He'd debated discussing this, but figured Aang would understand.

"I still think Katara shouldn't have taken that scroll."

Aang turned, looking unhappy. "You know . . . I do, too, really. It's not right to take something that's not yours. But . . . I mean, it wasn't the pirates' either. And she does have a better claim . . ." He trailed off, uncertain.

Sokka snorted. "You just can't say no to my sister."

Aang shrugged, denying nothing – even smiling slightly. Sokka huffed, once again the odd man out.
