Summary
zuko knows what it feels like to be the non-prodigal child -- knows how fathers treat the less gifted child. on the airship, he keeps to sokka’s side like a shadow, never mind that he’s shaking like a leaf from exhaustion and hakoda is twice his size. zuko came too close to losing sokka during the gondola fight, he’s not going to -- wait, when did he start to care that much?

sokka reaches out, his hand moving the hair covering zuko’s face. zuko closes his eye, focusing on his breath as sokka traces the scar with gentle fingertips. there’s not much feeling left in that part of his face, but he can feel faint pressure where sokka’s fingers are. zuko’s not sure when he starts crying, but he’s shaking under sokka’s gaze.

Summary
aang is moving through earthbender forms when zuko stumbles onto the porch, a cup of tea in hand. it tastes nothing like uncle would have made, hastily thrown together and heated with his hands, but there’s something soothing about it. zuko usually rises with the sun but it’s been a while since he watched the sunrise. he settles into seiza, setting his tea in front of him. aang tries to copy his posture with … varying degrees of success, and zuko takes a sip of tea before correcting his legs.
