Together

Downtown Part 2

Fifteen minutes later, Zuko's shift ended. He took them to a book store down the street. Toph was sprawled out on one of the couches, Katara and Aang were in the back, browsing, Mai was looking at Murder Mysteries, and Sokka was looking at engineering books. Suki came up behind him and tapped on his shoulder. He turned around and screamed "SUKI" before hugging her.

"We're in a bookstore, I think it has the same rules as a library," Suki whispered. Sokka laughed, she missed him. Suki caught up with everyone. Around ten Marlee and Kenzie went back but Suki stayed, she would catch a bus back later. Zuko had to head back to the Jasmine Dragon, Toph and Mai got bored, so they went home, Aang and Katara were doing something so that left Suki and Sokka. They walked into a candy store. Suki was looking at chocolate while Sokka was checking out more, fruity stuff. Suki bought some Dove chocolate (only the best in my writing) and Sokka bought nerds and Jolly Ranchers. The two of them ended up on a park bench.

"Hey Suki, there is something I want to tell you."

"What is it?"

"While you were away, I dated Yue."

"Why would I care?" She asked harshly

"Why don't you?"

"Because your stupid love life has nothing to do with me!"

"Listen, you're the one who kissed me!"

"On the cheek as a friend! It meant nothing!"

"GOOD!" He screamed

"GOOD!" She yelled back with just as much force.

"It doesn't seem good."

"Why?"

"Because you're crying," Sokka said softly. It's true, tears were welling up in Suki's eyes when she imagined seeing Sokka again, it was always sweet and romantic. Sokka would confess his love for her and Suki would admit she always felt the same. Then he would kiss her and they would be happy together. This was not happy, this was a screaming match about why they didn't like each other that way. Suki got up to leave. She had enough of this fighting. They clearly weren't meant to be together like Suki always thought.

"Suki wait," Sokka called, but it wasn't like he was about to declare his love, but like she was some problem he needed to fix.

Yet still, she turned around, wanting to smooth things over with her friend, but she still couldn't hide the harsh bitterness in her voice as she asked, "What, Sokka? What?"

"Are you upset or something?"

"Would I cry if I weren't upset?"

"What's wrong then?"

"What do you think? The way you immediately expected me to be jealous that you went out with Yue. I'm more than that Sokka!"

"Is that all that's wrong?"

"I hate you!"

"But why?" He asked calmly

"I hate that I always imagined seeing you again and being happy. But you're just trying to make me jealous!"

"That's not what I was trying to do! I wanted you to know from me about me dating her, not some random person, because I thought you liked me and I didn't want to ruin my chances with you by keeping secrets, but then it seemed like you didn't like me and..."

"I do like you Sokka."

"But you were just screaming about why you didn't"

"Like you said things got out of hand."

"So, you like me?"

"Yes stupid!"

"You, really, really like me! And I like you and-" She cut him off by kissing him. Something she had been dreaming of for a long time.

A/N: Part two is finished and Sukka is official! Sorry for all the angst I was just in the mood to write it. Due to my angst to fluff ratio that I must maintain, they will have lots of fluff but I have this love for Kataang angst since most fics about them are too fluffy, so I'm apologizing/ warning you in advance. Peace!
