SOKKA'S POV

I fucked up.

I fucked up bad. It had been 2 days since Dee and I had our argument. I knew she was mad at me, but I thought we could get past it. I'm an idiot I know.

She was avoiding me. She left the house at early hours in the morning and came back near midnight when Katara and Aang had passed out. I stayed awake to make sure she actually came home and to ease Katara's mind. I expected that, however she continued talking to me, but it wasn't like before. She had no emotion in her voice when talking.

She stopped smiling. She could be smiling while I was gone but Katara's face says otherwise. That's the part that hurt the most.

She isn't even reading when I'm nearby. I think it's a way to get back at me. We had this game where I would guess what was happening in her book from her facial expressions then tell her what I had thought happened. She'd usually tell me I got it completely wrong and then explain what actually happened.

The one time I caught her reading it looked like she didn't enjoy it anymore. I waited to see if she gasped at certain parts or started giggling randomly but no, just a blank face.

That's the face she has right now eating her cloudberries. Katara put her foot down and said we were going to eat breakfast together which I could tell bothered Dee but even she knew there was no use arguing with Katara when she gets like this. So here we are silently eating our food while we pretend everything was okay. I took another bite of my cloudberries, and they had a sour taste to them. I look around the table for the sugar and when I finally spot it, I can see it is out of reach and next to Dee. Just my luck.

After a few minutes of contemplation on whether jumping over the table was worth the embarassment I worked up the courage to just ask her. I clear my throat which catches the attention of everyone. "Uh Dee, can you pass the sugar?" I asked barley making eye contact with her. Both Aang and Katara look towards Dee then back at me. Silence. "Please." I add.

"Sure." She says giving me the tiny pot before going back to her berries. I considered asking if she wanted to add sugar to her berries but if she wanted, she would've by now. We all finished up and started to head our separate ways. I was going to the training grounds Aang and Katara were going off to learn waterbending. Dee said she was staying in today which was a surprise.

When I got into the training grounds I got straight to work, I wanted to leave all the issues I had with Dee at the door and just focus on what I was doing in that moment. I was hitting the punching bag with as much power as possible visualizing I was in a real fight when I overheard a voice. "Yeah, we're going out after this." I peek over my shoulder and see Atka. Here I was thinking I was going to have a Dee-free day.

I tried to focus and block him out, but I couldn't. "You and that girl who's friends with the Avatar? What's her name, Dae?" His friend questioned. I almost corrected him.

"Her name's Dee and yes." I rolled my eyes. I shouldn't even be listening to this. "Look what I got her." I could hear him rustling in his pocket. I slowly turned my head and saw a bracelet with a small green gem, nothing special. "She said something about liking the colour green. I think it's her favourite." Obviously, he wasn't listening properly because that's not her favourite colour.

"Well, if I were a girl I'd definitely kiss that face." His friend jokes.

"You think?" Atka asked with a serious tone.

"Dude! Focus we have 5 more minutes until we have to go see Master Pakku. After that, you can smooch your girl all you want." Atka gives his friend a whatever and they get back to work. That reminded me I had to leave soon.  Yue and I were going on another walk.
