“You remember how you told me that everything would work out?” he goes on, apparently hearing her hesitation in her tone or seeing it on her face. “Because you were on my side, I wasn’t alone in the Fire Nation anymore?”

“Yes…” she mumbles.

“Well, it goes both ways,” he says. “You’re on my side, I’m on yours. We’re in this together.”

The spot Zuko picks overlooks the entire city block. They can see for miles. The train looks like a toy train in the distance. The wall is a faraway horizon. They can hear the chirp of birds. And the gentle spring breeze. And oh my god. The sky has this stupid beautiful golden glow. The sun’s about to rise. He’s going to watch the sunrise. With Zuko.

“So. Just us up here, huh.” Sokka tries to keep it casual, “Just two guys. Watching the sunrise.”

It’s only weird if you make it weird, Sokka repeats to himself. It’s only weird if you make it weird.

Zhao, at least a foot taller than him and who knows how much older, looks him in the face and says: you’ll never find the Avatar.

Bet on that, Zuko says, daring him.

(or: stubbornness, sheer force of will, and the insatiable need to prove everyone wrong)

He’s found that spite can carry you a long way, and the need to prove that you can do something, that you’re worth something, that you can master a sword or learn this set or find the Avatar, can carry you even further.
