"So did you ask out who you wanted to ask out to Homecoming?" Katara asks, over lunch.
Aang splutters and puts down his veggie sandwich. A few flax seeds fall off the crust. "I never said I wanted to ask out - anyone - "
"I know you have a crush on someone," Katara says pointedly.
Aang decides not even to deny it. He doesn't know how, but somehow Katara just knows these things even though she's barely seen him and Zuko together. He supposes that's what happens when your best friend's known you since you were both five years old.
"Well, I'm not going to ask them out to Homecoming," he says, returning to his sandwich. "They're going, anyway - "
"Ooh, you know already?" Katara says with interest.
Sokka, who's poking at the mystery meat with the gusto of an experienced spelunker, says, "Oh, leave him to pine, Katara, Aang's clearly not getting anywhere with this."
"Like you and the leader of the karate club?" Katara says.
Sokka raises himself up indignantly. "Hey, Suki and I had a five minute conversation today. That is asking-out material right there - "
"Homecoming's this weekend," Katara reminds the both of them. "If either of you boys want to secure dates - "
"I don't need to secure a date," Aang interrupts. He spies Zuko at the other end of the cafeteria, then back to Katara, who's watching him intently. "Seriously. If I wanted to ask out anybody, I would've done it by now - "
"Would you?" Katara challenges.
Aang waves what's left of his sandwich at her before stuffing it into his mouth. "Yes," he says, as Sokka looks at him enviously. "Sokka's right, it's not going to get me anywhere - "
"Ah, the words I love to hear the most," Sokka says. "Sokka's right."
Katara elbows her brother, before regarding Aang seriously. "Aang, whoever you have a crush on - I'm sure it's not that hopeless, right?"
"More hopeless than me and Suki," Sokka says. "Which isn't saying much, since that's definitely happening in the future."
Katara elbows him again. Aang says, "It's not hopeless, I just - " Zuko's sitting with his sister and that girl from the dance team, and they've got a circle table to themselves unlike the end of the rectangular table that Aang, Katara, and Sokka are sitting at. Aang doubts Zuko's the type to welcome unexpected advances, and if things go wrong, it's certain to make physics hell for the rest of the semester.
Aang likes to be an optimist, but he doesn't want to ruin what they already have together - physics, bunsen burners, and Aang talking too much whenever Zuko smiles at him. He says to Katara, "I'll just see them there at Homecoming."
"You better introduce me," Katara says seriously.
