Rating- M for language and suggestive scenes.

Summary- Sokka can't take it anymore... he doesn't care who knows, he loves someone, and he's going to tell them again before they leave. He knows they know, and he knows they love him back, he just needs to hear them tell him again before they leave him for now.

A/N- Okay, a little tiny story that randomly came to my mind one day while listening to some toybox stories. I thought of calling it Kiss Before Dying, but no one's gonna die...so yeah...XD

It was the day of the comet, and Suki was trying to pull Sokka back over to the eel, they had to leave. Up on the ridge, he could see Katara and Zuko talking about the plan. She was getting on Appa, it would be too late soon.

Sokka pulled his arm from Suki, and she fell back with a huff. She pushed her hair back from her face as she watched Sokka run up to Appa. She thought him to be a really good brother since he was so worried about Katara...

Sokka was unaware of everything else as he wrapped his hand around a slim strong wrist.

"I can't take it anymore! I just can't fucking take it!" he cried out dropping to his knees. Katara looked down at him, a surprised look on her face. He moved the hand in his closer to his face. "I have to know you'll be okay." he said. "Promise me that!"

"Sokka... maybe this isn't such a good place to be doing this." Katara said. "Everyone is staring."

"Shut up Katara!" Sokka growled. "Promise me." he repeated looking up.

"I promise I'll be okay." Zuko said pulling Sokka to his feet. "I swear to you."

"I love you Zuko." Sokka said. Zuko pulled him into a tight embrace, pressing their lips together. The kiss lasted for eternity to them, Zuko slid his tongue into Sokka's mouth, marking him as his. Moving his mouth down, he bit into Sokka's neck, leaving a mark that everyone would see.

Pulling away, Zuko pulled a knife from his boot. "Made from firebending, it can cut through anything." he said looking into Sokka's wide, velvet soft blue eyes. "I'll be wanting it back."

Sokka smiled, taking the knife. Zuko tilted his head up kissing him once more. "I love you too." He said climbing onto Appa.

Sokka watched them fly off hugging the knife to his chest, not knowing if he would ever actually see his love again. He felt a soft hand on his shoulder, and turned to see Toph.

"Com'on Sokka, let's go." she said.

Maybe not one of my best, but I kind of like it, it portrays the fact that neither Sokka nor Zuko are as straight... edge as everyone thinks they are...XD
