comfort for the cold is hot, and comfort for the hot is cold(sokka bender)

chapter 10

sokka was sitting by zukos side talking to him, just like before. but now, he was talking back.

"so, basically the simplest way of explaining is that you got struck by lightning and you've been in a coma for a month. but before i tell you in depth about what all happened i need to know what you remember." the two had decided it was a good time for zuko to know everything, and by everything, they meant EVERYTHING. like was sokka did while he was a coma, how zuko managed to not die, and what the hell happened to the rebels.

"okay, i remember up until i got struck, everything after that is a blur. although, i do have very vivid memories of you asking me to squeeze your hand three times if i could hear you. OH also i remember hearing very mumbled yelling, it sounded like you and katara but i could barely tell."

"okay, so that yelling was me and katara and i'll tell you about that soon because spirits did i enjoy yelling at her. but besides that i did tell you to squeeze my hand, i actually talked to you A LOT while you were out." sokka was now looking at the ground, almost sounding, embarrassed.

"okay, REALLY need to hear about you and katara now." zuko said, while picking up sokkas face with his hand. "but right now, i want to take a walk to the turtle duck pond, with my favorite person." he was smiling, looking deeply into sokkas eyes.

"oh, okay. i'll go get your uncle." sokka began to get up till just like before he was stopped by a grab and pull on the wrist.

"i meant you, wolf tale."

"oh. i'll go get shoes. don't get up to fast tho, and be VERY careful sitting up!"

"okay, MOM!" zuko was yelling to sokka as he left the room.

"IM NOT YOUR MOM, IM your boyfriend SOKKA." he got quiet halfway through, they still haven't really settled on what they were yet, but sokka wanted nothing more then to be his boyfriend.

sokka had grabbed his shoes and went to walk out of his room, that was before catching a look in the mirror. he realized he was in fact, a huge MESS.

'spirits, who let me look like this'

it wasn't even bad, sokka just felt like he had to look PERFECT everytime he was with zuko.

he had decided to redo his wolf tale (it was really just a ponytail) and yet again SNAP!

'damnit! spirits why do you do this to meeeee?! i can't look like this, my hairs all greasy, i needed that hair tie!'

sokka was just giving up so he left to go get zuko from his room. he had gotten there and zuko what just in awe of how sokka looked, completely ignoring ALL the grease and just focusing on sokka, the way his hair perfectly shaped his face, the way his blue eyes stood out next to his skin, the way his shirt fell so loosely on his torso.

"damn." zuko said with a sigh.

"what?! do i look bad? i can go shower real quick, or change, or look for a hair tie!" sokka was freaking out.

"no,no,no. you look the opposite of bad. you look very, very, hot." zuko said with a smile while raping his arms around sokka.

"well, in that case i'd say we should get going, dont you think too not?" sokka said before grabbing zukos waist and kissing him.

"we shall, wolf tail" zuko had this smirk on his face that sokka just couldn't resist.

the two made their way to the turtle duck pond, they sat there together, shifting between comfortable silence, sokkas jokes, and just small talk.

the sun began to set and sokka couldn't help but admire the man in his arms. the way his beautiful golden eyes looked in the light, his hair, falling perfectly on his face.

"you look beautiful, top not." sokka just couldn't help but think out loud.

"as do you, wolf tail." suddenly zuko was facing sokka and kissing him.

they stayed like that for a moment, zuko siting in sokkas lap, leaning against the tree, the two wrapped around each other, together.

next thing they knew the sun was set completely and it was dark out. the two made their way back to zukos room and got into bed. neither of them where tired so they began talking.

"what was the argument with your sister about?" zuko asked very suddenly.

"oh, well she tried to compare how i felt, to loosing our mom. and i was tired of it, so i told her how i felt. i told her she had every right to be upset and to miss mom but she has no right to throw herself a pity party everytime someone else is hurting. i told her how everyone else she knows has been through things too."

"oh damn. what did she say?"

"nothing, she just...left."

"well then, she knew you were right." zuko was now looking up and smiling at sokka.

'spirits, i wish you were my boyfriend.' zuko thought to himself

"hey top not, can i ask you something?" sokka was very blunt and zuko couldn't help but feel like he was reading his mind.

"of course wolf tail. what up?"

"what do you see us as? because i really wanna be your boyfriend, i wanna be able to tell people that you're my boyfriend with they ask about my love life, i want you." what sokka said shocked zuko.

"well, i'd love more then anything to be known as your boyfriend." zuko was now smiling, it was finally happening.

"then it's settled. you will now be known as 'zuko, the incredibly hot boyfriend of the also incredibly hot sokka.'" he had panned his hands out as if he were displaying something, and he just looked down, at his boyfriend.
