Summary: After Iroh passes, Zuko reaches his breaking point. As he navigates the path through grief, he meets a kindred soul, and begins to heal in more ways than one.

“You’re a lot of things, sweetheart, but boring isn’t one of them,” Sokka declares, punctuating their point by resting the skateboard against Zuko’s chest.

The only sound for a moment is the mechanical whir of wheels that haven't yet reached their stop. Choosing to overlook their condescension, Zuko covers Sokka's hands with his own before they can move them.

“A lot of things?” he echoes with a curiously raised eyebrow, and Sokka breathes a laugh so light, it tricks the breeze.

“Were you not aware of that?” they tease, faux concern riddling their features.

Ignoring the question, Zuko rests his chin on the board's tail and asks his own, “Like what? Pretty?” It barely makes it past his lips before they slip into a smile.

Though Sokka shakes their head and scoffs a laugh, the setting sun exposes the blush blooming beneath their freckles.

They retract their hands from Zuko’s hold to playfully mask his eyes with their palms, then answer, “Self-obsessed, for one.”

After knocking them away with his board, Zuko points out, “Hey, I’m not the one who watched me skate for three hours straight.”

ID: a digital drawing of adult Yue and teenage Izumi from Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra respectively. They are seen from the legs up, embracing. Yue is taller, wearing a purple tunic and white headscarf, and she wraps her arms around Izumi's back tightly. Izumi wears a red tunic and red framed glasses, they presses their face into Yue's shoulder, wrapping their arms around her back. Yue looks at peace, Izumi looks relieved and content /End ID
