I'm not "keeping Masaomi around!" [Moon and stars, what did that even mean, it sounded horrible.]

I'm just not cutting him out! He's my friend, Sokka, should I have to lose that just because he started to like me and wants me to like him back? What would you do, if before Suki showed up one of your friends had confessed to you? Someone you trust, someone who relies on you - could you just cut off the friendship?
