Blue Sunny Day

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

Matt had refused to go near the City, or near the others for a while. He had a lot to think about.

So with his guitar slung over his shoulder, he had gone to the furthest reaches of the beach area, using an ability he kept under wraps. Shouldn't be people from a few miles at least, unless they had followed him doggedly.

Unslinging his guitar, he settled on a rock and started to play.

Early light that burns my eyes,
A minute more the sun will rise
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
I’ll be dead asleep by then,
Shut up in this box again
Until it’s gone
Outside I can hear it
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
I’d be there to see it but I can’t get out of bed
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
One more blue sunny day

With a heavy sigh, he continued to play in the midst of the wonderful lakeside view he found.

Matt stared and then laughed, for once in mirth before he wiped his eyes. "Sorry... I just, never really got to meet him y'know? I didn't want to get a bad first impression."

He shook his head a little. "To be honest, I hate seeing people in pain too. I'm not quick to violence or anything but I sometimes feel like I'm playing in someone else's yard y'know? Any suggestions would be good."

"I wish I could tell you something that would help. But usually it was here taking care of me, not the other way around." Sokka shrugged, feeling suddenly helpless.

"Well, okay. As a brother, what do you think I should do? Honest opinion even if it means 'break up with her'." said Matt. "Your honest opinion here."

"Support her. None of us," and by that he meant the Gaang, of course, "are angry at her. We're just confused. She's still my sister, you know? And I'd give her a shoulder to lean on if she felt like she could talk to me about it, but I don't think she does anymore. We've just. . ." he sighs.

"We've had too many disagreements and arguments since we got here. Counting one about you two."

Matt nodded. "Spoken like a true brother," he said with a nod. "To be honest, we went into this knowing that sometime we'd have a situation like this. I wanted to make her happy, for as little time as that needed be."

He smiled and lightly thumped Sokka on the shoulder. "I owe you and your friends an apology though, for getting together with Katara. Just because it feels like I stepped into something the rest of you have, y'know? And I need to square things with Aang."

"You don't owe me an apology. Maybe you owe Aang one, but I dunno. He wants her to be happy. But he also loves her. A lot. Like, really, truly deeply love of his life kind of thing. I'm not sure how this is going to effect him." Sokka grimaced.

"Ergh, yeah." Matt heaved a deep sigh and shook his head. "I know I'll have to talk to him definitely. And make sure that I don't hurt Katara with any decision."

"I dunno. It's all kinda complicated." Sokka sighed.

"It's probably not going to end well."

"Probably not. But the heart should mend. It has to. For her sake."
