Sokka was better at basketball than most people gave him credit for. because of his skills, he made it onto the school's team.

anyone who asked why he joined the team would always get the same answer: he joined because of your encouragement. without it, he wouldn't have considered joining at all. let's just say he was grateful—you really helped him.

so here you were, at the school's gym, standing next to Katara and Aang, waiting for the match to finish. he had invited you, like he always did. as the match drew to a close, the three of you decided to head outside and wait for him to come out.

the first thing you noticed when he went outside was the huge smile on his face. he ran towards you, and you assumed he would greet all three of you as usual. but, oh, were you wrong.

with one hand on your back and the other on your cheek, he pulled you close and kissed you. it was just the excitement of winning what made him do it... right?
