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.

36. Appa's Lost Days

"Sokka."

Sokka looked up from his dinner, chewing furiously so he could swallow before speaking. Aang continued.

"It's been weeks; I've looked every day, and still no trace of Appa. What if" – he hesitated, face crumpling a little – "we don't find him?"

Sokka gulped painfully, and his eyes watered but the food went down his throat. He wished Katara were here, but she'd gone out. Toph, of course, was no help.

"Of course we will. You're the Avatar – what can't you do?" He could say nothing else, but injected a dose of confidence into his voice, hoping it would help.
