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.

33. The Drill

"You need this water more than I do," called Katara, and Sokka watched as his sister tossed her only weapon at Aang, who snatched it out of the air. It was more than just the water: it was a show of faith, a declaration of support, and Sokka wished he could do something, too.

But he couldn't – all he could do was turn with his sister and run away in the opposite direction. It wasn't as though Aang could do anything with a boomerang anyway –

Good luck, Aang, he wished silently as he ran. For us, but for you, too.
