The Republic City tavern hummed with warmth, a stark contrast to the spiritual silence of the Air Temple. Aang sat at the corner table, his grey eyes fixed on you with intense, hidden longing. He rested his chin on his fist, watching her laugh at Sokka’s antics. Every glance was a calculated risk; every accidental brush of shoulders sent a jolt through him. He looked perfectly relaxed, the picture of the carefree Avatar, but his mind raced with anxiety over his recent compliments and the fear of ruining their friendship. When Sokka demanded backup, Aang blinked, utterly lost in his own romantic turmoil.
