now i'm covered in you

zuko noticing sokka is sad and jow he isolates himself from the group

sokka asks to talk to zuko, sokka trusts zuko to tell him

zuko wanting to protect sokka from the truth

SOKKA PUTTING HIS HAND ON ZUKO'S SHOULDER

"boy, you're so paranoid"

SOKKA SNEAKING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND ZUKO WAITING FOR HIM

zuko and sokka both understanding needing to regain their honour

sokka pushing zuko out of the way

zuko wanting to go with sokka and help him

zuko calling out sokka's bs

sokka and zuko both lying about where they are

awkward gay silence in hot air balloon

both talking about how they're single

sokka understanding leaving your home to help others

sokka feeling comfortable enough around zuko to fall asleep

sokka trying new strategies with zuko

THEY TRUST EACH OTHER

SOKKA HOLDING ZUKO'S ARM TO PULL HIM BACK

zuko trying to reassure sokka with iroh's proverbs

zuko almost sacrificing himself for sokka

zuko pushing sokka in the cell

zuko encouraging the fuck out of sokka

zuko putting his hand on sokka's shoulder

"hey, if you two are done cuddling, can we get a move on?"

sokka introducing zuko to his dad

sokka attempting to strangle zuko

zuko pushing sokka out of the way to firebend.

SOKKA GRABBING ZUKO AS HE JUMPS

ZUKO STOPPING SOKKA FROM FALLING OFF

This was where my mind was the whole time soz gang

Not to mention Zuko calling a man attractive and Sokka saying Zuko has a beautiful face

Zukka gang how we feelin

and she did it anyway.

this was a literal and metaphorical act of letting go. she loves vi without conditions, respects her so much she's willing to let her do whatever she wants, even if that means she leaves her.

complete 180 from act one when she pushed and prodded vi into joining the enforcers and her mission, subtly (or not so subtly) disregarding her history and her values. i would have loved a full Conversation™ between them just as much as anyone, but these two have always spoken louder through actions than words and this was very much on brand.
