The Crush

*Sokka's Pov*

The whole gang was at a river. We were all just relaxing from the hot sun. After constantly running from the Fire Nation, we deserve a break.

All i was wearing was my underwear. It was to hot to be in anything else. Plus, i don't think the others would like it if i was showing my junk around for the world to see.

Katara, my little sister, was wearing her normal white bathing suit. Toph was wearing her normal suit. Aang was wearing just underwear.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I don't understand why. I just stared at him. I also felt this weird feeling in my stomach. I couldn't describe it.

I kept staring at him. All of a sudden Momo jumps at me from out if nowhere. I scream and start splashing water everywhere.

I finally grab him out of the air and bring him close to my face.
" That wasn't funny." I say to him. He makes his weird sound and flies off. I sigh and get outta the water to dry off.

" Hey Toph, can you do me a favor"? I say. She turns her head towards my direction and nods.
" Well, could you maybe make a rock bed so i could lay on it?" I ask. She then makes a bed for me to tan-I mean dry off on.
" Thanks Toph." I say.

As i was laying, i started thinking. What was that weird feeling that i got when i looked at Aang. Also why couldn't i stop looking at him? I can't tell. It's so confusing.

" Hey Sokka!" Aang says popping his head right in front of me.
I scream and fall off of my make-shift drying bed. I sit up and scratch my head. Aang is laughing his butt off. I can't help but smile at his laugh. It's kinda..cute. CUTE?!? That's not exactly the words that should describe it. Funny, yeah. Annoying, harsh. Weird, maybe, but it's not cute. Why would i even think that? I don't think that i like Aang. Especially since I'm technically dating Suki.

I stand up and dust myself off. I look at Aang who is smiling at me. I smile back at him. I stare into his eyes. That feeling is back. Luckily I'm able to look away before things get awkward. I can feel a blush creep up on my face.
" So Sokka, What's up?" Aang says. I give him an odd look.
" I'm good. Why this sudden conversation?" I ask.
" Well you looked upset so i wanted to see if you were okay!" He says happily.
" You could tell that by me laying down?" I say with my eyebrow up.
" Okay i wanted to scare you. Happy?" He says.
" Ecstatic" I say sarcastically.
" Anyway, I guess we should get a move on. I say we go to the Western Air Temple!" Aang says. (Btw i am sorta-ish going by the story. Sorry if everything is not 100% correct.)

We all get on Appa and head out. I sit in the back of the saddle. I just want to be left alone for a bit.
" You okay Sokka?" Katara asks.
I guess alone time isn't gonna happen.
" Yeah I'm fine. Just want to be left alone." I say. She puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Sokka, I'm always here for you if you need to talk." She says. I just nod my head. She then walks away. I just have one thing that's bugging me. Why can't i get Aang off my mind?

I guess I'll figure it out when i get to the temple. Right now, i need a nap. And food. Food would be nice.
