Hold Me Tight Or Dont

Zuko takes a “vacation” from being Firelord to visit an old Airbending temple. While there, he gets stung by a lovebug, lowering his inhibitions and causing him to be in increasing amounts of pain unless he physically touches the “person closest to him”. Sokka is his antidote, and assumes this is because Zuko sees him as his safest friend. Zuko thinks this means Sokka finally knows about his embarrassing crush on him. Given his lack of reaction, Zuko also assumes Sokka is only helping him because he’s a good person, whereas Sokka assumes Zuko would never want to touch him like this if he had any other choice. They battle with their feelings surrounding their forced proximity until it all boils over.
