Two stories in one day hey! Next ya know I'll go disappear of the face of the earth! Anyways, yet again I am writing something thats not Danny Phantom, and for my otp Zukka. So, enjoy I suppose! Also Zuko is awkward and Sokka is bad at flirting. Whats new?
Toph had recently invited a newbie to sit at their table. While Sokka might usually complain, the newbie was kinda hot. Okay, maybe not kinda, but absolutely. Though he wouldn't admit it out loud, Sokka was smitten. The newbie had dark hair and pale skin, which Sokka thought looked very good together. He also had these stunning, gorgeous, golden eyes that light up like the sun, and from what Sokka could imagine through the guys clothes he was toned.
And currently the space to the left of him was unclaimed.
Sokka smirked. Mission: Flirt With Hottie was a go.
Sokka stood behind him and in his most innocent voice possible he asked,"Hey, if this seat taken by any chance?"
The guy turned around and looked at Sokka. "Uh, no?"
Sokka noted that the newbie seemed puzzled by his advances. He wondered if his flirting would have to be direct.
"Then do you mind at all if I sit here?" Sokka asked gently.
"No. Er- I mean go ahead, no I don't mind."
"Thanks man!" Sokka cheered. Phase 1- Steal Seat complete.
Sokka gratefully slide into the bench on the newbies left and set his lunch tray infront of him. He also may have not so accidentally disregarded personal space. The black haired guy shifted slightly away from him, and Sokka, feeling a twinge of guilt, let him. Flirt with him but don't pressure him, stupid.
"So, come here often?" Sokka asked.
The newbie's face scrunched up into an unrecognizable emotion. Perhaps it was confusion, or hatred, or disgust. Sokka didn't know. He silently hoped it was nothing more than confusion.
"This is the school cafeteria." The guy finally replied.
"I know." Sokka took a moment to process what that meant. What an odd response. But Sokka had to admit, the newbie probably wasn't expecting "come here often?" either.
"Its just you've never sat over here before dude. 'M just curious."
The guy just nodded.
"However, I do remember Toph said something about invited a friend of hers to come sit with us." Sokka continued. "You wouldn't happen to be him, would ya?"
The guy nodded again. "I, ugh, yeah. Yeah. What's your name? Toph might have mentioned you."
"Names Sokka!" Sokka held his hand out to the newbie. "What's yours?"
"Zuko." They shook hands.
Phase 2- Start Flirting hadn't gone as well as Sokka hoped, having a few push backs, but over all Sokka felt good about this. Even if Mission: Flirt With A Hottie didn't pan out well, Sokka had a hunch they could be friends.
"So, ugh…" Sokka said. Think, think! What's a good pick-up line?
"…Did it hurt?" Yes, a classic!
"I- what?" Zuko's hand reached up to touch the scar over his right eye that Sokka hadn't noticed. He had been too distracted by "fuck that guy is hot" okay?
No no no no! That's not what he meant. Sokka panicked. "Whenyoufellfromheaven!" He talked to quickly that the words melded together. God, Sokka felt like an idiot.
Zuko put his hand down. "What? I can't understand you."
Sokka took a breath. "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"
Zuko did nothing but blink.
Sokka stared back. Mentally he panicked, trying to figure out where the hell he went wrong.
"Did you just… call me Satan?"
Sokka faced palmed. Mission failed.
