    Summary

    Sokka has doubts about his future and his position in the Fire Nation, Zuko helps him resolve them (mostly by putting him on a war balloon and forcing him to talk to his family).

    Or.

    It's not easy, living in the capital city of your former enemies and attending meetings in the very same room where raids to your village were ordered not so long ago. What's worse is realizing that you actually kind of like it there.

    Summary

    And one time they don't (but that's probably for the best)

    “They gone yet?” Kojiro whispers into Kaoru’s ear.

    Kaoru makes an annoyed noise and tries to shove him back, but all it does is press their bodies closer together in the closet they’re hiding in. Kojiro finds himself grinning, heart still pounding with adrenaline.

    “Not yet,” Kaoru whispers back. It's not a surprise; the sound of the teachers yelling their names is still clearly audible. What is a surprise is the pleasant shudder that runs down Kojiro’s spine from Kaoru’s hot breath across his ear.

    Summary

    How long had it been since he'd gone there? How long since he'd last seen... No. He couldn't think of that. Opening up old wounds for no good reason was stupid, and this didn't have to be a big deal. He was just going to buy a Christmas tree, nothing else.

    Easy-peasy.

    Summary

    “Bello,” Kaoru repeats to Kojiro’s immense dismay. “What’s it mean?”

    Kojiro can’t very well tell Kaoru the truth, but he’s also quite aware of his inability to lie to Kaoru, so he blurts out the first thing that comes to mind.

    “Friend,” he answers quickly. “Uh, best friend.”

    Kaoru leans back a little. “Huh.” An unfamiliar expression flits across Kaoru’s face, and Kojiro panics.

    “Sorry, sorry,” he apologizes quickly with his hands in the air. “I didn’t mean to say it, it just slipped out—” That part, at least, is true, but before he can continue rambling off apologies, Kaoru interrupts him.

    “No, it’s…” He gives Kojiro an odd, sort of pensive look. “It’s fine.”

    “It’s fine,” Kojiro repeats weakly. “It’s fine?”

    Kaoru sniffs. “Better than the other nicknames you’ve given me, at least.”

    or, Kaoru doesn't know Italian, and Reki doesn't know English. Kojiro and Langa respectively suffer.
