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.

38. The Earth King

"Uh, Sokka?"

Aang's voice interrupted Sokka's dozing.

"Yeah?"

"What'd you mean by 'manly-man-time'?"

Sokka shrugged. "We could . . . eat? Talk about girls?"

"Girls." Aang's expression grew distant. "Riiiight."

Sokka's eyes closed again. "Never mind."

"Speaking of girls, did you . . . mean it, back then, when you said Katara should kiss Jet? Do you think they . . . did?"

Sokka shrugged again. "Dunno. Why?"

Aang flushed. "No reason. Just curious. Uh-huh."

There was probably something more to this, but Sokka really didn't feel like thinking. So he shrugged a third time and drifted into grateful obliviousness.
