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.

41. The Awakening

Of course Aang had run off.

Just when everything was going well, when they finally had hope to beat the Fire Nation, Aang had to ruin it by disappearing again.

When Aang's tray crashed to the floor, Sokka knew. Katara didn't even need to speak.

"Of course," he grumbled. "I knew he'd mess it up somehow."

Katara hit him, hard. Sokka glared, rubbing his arm – but when she reached for her waterskin, he backed off.

"We're going after him, right?" piped up Toph, interrupting the standoff.

Argument forgotten, Katara and Sokka shared a look. "Of course," they said in unison.

This is before Katara has her little discussion with her dad, of course - I just picture there being no hesitation in Team Avatar about whether or not to go after him. Of course they still have to get organized and everything; I guess that's when Hakoda and Katara talk.
