   Summary

   Hakoda only meant to offer kindness to a boy who looked too alone. Zuko only meant to accept a single dinner, a small reprieve he told himself wouldn’t matter. Sokka only meant to do what his father asked him to do and ended up calling his enemy a friend.

   What starts as awkward dinners and reluctant friendship edges closer to the truth Zuko has never dared to speak aloud, and when the truth refuses to stay hidden, Hakoda and Sokka are left to decide how far they’ll go for a boy who’s never been told he deserves to be loved.
