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.

58. Sozin's Comet, Part I: The Phoenix King

Sometimes when Aang was in trouble, Sokka didn't hesitate to join the fray. Other times, like this, all he could do was stare.

They trusted Zuko. He'd proven himself a friend – right?

But this –

Aang hadn't been fighting lately. He'd trained hard, but only with friends. He hadn't needed sharp reflexes. The flames spread; Sokka found himself worrying. What if Aang couldn't beat Zuko this time?

Then it happened.

"ENOUGH!"

The shout rattled the whole house, shook the floorboards. The others stared on in shock as Zuko was blasted through the wall and into a tree.

Sokka wasn't worried anymore.
