Not Normal

*Aang's POV*

I don't know what to feel anymore. Sokka is supposed to be my best friend! How could he kiss me? Why did he kiss me? Maybe it was something that close friends do to each other?

I sigh and lay on my back. Even I know that wasn't the reason for the kiss.

I suddenly jump up from my sleeping bag. I'm the person he was talking about! The person he can't get out of his head and stop thinking about!

I start to cringe. I told him he was in love with that person. I told him he was in love with me! Oh geez I was basically asking for him to kiss me.

I was too restless to try to sleep. I needed to take a walk to clear my head.

I slowly creep out of my sleeping bag so I don't wake up anybody else and start walking around.

How are things even going to go back to normal? We can't keep this between us. The girls will notice somethings up right away. Plus Toph will catch us if we try lying about anything that happened on that island.

I groan

"Things are totally not normal anymore." I say

"You could say that again." I hear someone say behind me, causing me to jump.

I turn to see Sokka leaning against a wall. He has his head down. Probably trying to avoid eye contact with me. He's probably just as confused as me.

"Hey dude. What are you doing up?" I ask him?

He takes a step towards me and I unconsciously take a step back. I saw him die in his eyes. I didn't even mean to walk back. It was an instinct. Kind of like a wild animal coming towards someone.

He tries to play off his sadness with a little chuckle, but I can hear the sadness in his voice.

"Sokka, listen-"

"It's fine Aang. I screwed up. I know I did and I apologize for what I did to you. I don't expect you to forgive me anytime soon." He says.

"Sokka, of course I forgive you." I tell him.

He then looks at me, his eyes full of sadness.

"How about you try to convince yourself that you do before you try to convince me."

He walks away, and for the first time in forever,

                      I feel my heart break.
