Fan & Sword|Sukka Love Story Book 2

Double Trouble

The Next Day

Sokka looked over to admire Suki in her sleep.Some would think that's creepy but not him. He thought that she was the most stunning in her sleep. Maybe it's the fact that she always had the slightest smile on her face. Maybe it was how her nose scrunched up or how she rested her hands under her head. Perhaps it's because his heart clenched at the sight of her mouth slightly open and the sound of her soft snores. Maybe it was the way her short, auburn hair flipped to one side in her sleep, only for her to fix it when she woke up. Maybe he liked the way she sprawled out over their bed snuggled into their sheets and pillows only to shift in the middle of the night and end up cuddling him unintentionally and while she did that she would let out a soft sigh of satisfaction like she was safe and comfy.

Suki rolled over in her sleep and ended up pressing against Sokka not completely cuddling him as she usually would. She softly murmured incoherent words and nuzzled into his arm. The Water tribesmen lightly chuckled and adjusted her body so he could properly cuddle her close. He brought his arm around her upper back and cuddle her head to his chest. His other arm draped around her torso and pulled her other half close. Sokka smiled and kissed her head, "Love you."

She looked so little. Of course, he knew if he ever told Suki she looked little and that he just wanted to squish and eat her up that she wouldn't hesitate to hit him, playfully of course.

Suki whined a little in her sleep and shifted a bit at his tender touch and put her arm across his chest to hug him. She rubbed her head into his chest making herself comfortable. A sigh of satisfaction escaped her lips and she continue to lightly snore.

Sokka chuckled and took his hand that draped over her torso to her hand that was resting tenderly on his chest. He gently intertwined their fingers and brought her hand to his lips, kissing each finger delicately. Suki shifted a bit and grumbled lightly in her sleep. Sokka brought her hand to his heart and tilted his head to the side to give the top of her head a loving kiss. He gazed down at her sleeping and couldn't help but smile. The girl cuddled her herself more deeply into him and murmured something he couldn't make out.

She's was truly Sleeping Beauty.

Suki shifted again,this time hugging him tighter with her arm draped across his chest. Her cheek pressed firmly against the water tribe boy's bare chest causing her lips squished against her arm. Sokka couldn't help but lean down to give his sleeping girlfriend another kiss. He adored her so much.

A few moments of silent passed.

Sokka admired her and began to talk, "Hey Suks, I know you're probably having a wonderful dream right now and that it's really early but I woke up early today and I couldn't go back to sleep. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are when you sleep. Well to be honest you're always so stunning." Sokka chuckled as she shifted again. He swore he could see a smile creep onto her face.

He began to gently stroke her hair and continued"You're so strong and beautiful. This is kinda creepy but I like watching you sleep. You just let yourself go and you're totally open. I would also like to add that you are the cutest. Erhem please don't beat me up if you heard that!" He sighed, "I'm glad that you allow yourself to be vulnerable to me. That you're not afraid to let your guard down because I know you don't need protecting." Suki sighed. It was as if she could hear everything he was saying. "But you know Suks, I'll always be here to protect you."

"I love you Suki. Did I ever tell you that? Probably. But I love you so much. You're my world. You are beautiful, strong, brave, caring, compassionate, funny, patient, did I mention that you are drop dead gorgeous at all times of day. Also, I love you. I know you can't hear me right now but I am literally in love with you." He leaned down to kiss her head again. Sokka's heart fluttered with complete love and affection for her. "You know, I should probably tell you this when you're awake but I don't wanna freak you out." Suki shifted again and lightly coughed.
