Sokka and Suki sat in Iroh's teashop playing a game of Pai Sho. Their friends had all retired to separate corners and pretty much all of them had fallen asleep. It killed Sokka how when he and Suki decided to play Pai Sho, everyone decided to stop caring.
He surveyed all his friends as Suki took her turn; Iroh was out on the patio playing his tsungi horn, Mai and Zuko has fallen asleep in their own little corner with Mai's head resting on Zuko's shoulder and Zuko's head resting on her head. Toph lay spread out in the middle of the room, taking up as much space as she possibly could and was snoring loudly. Momo lay on the end of the table, also snoring (though no where near as loudly as Toph). And Aang and Katara had also fallen asleep in a corner, with Aang slumped against the wall, head hanging, their legs intertwined and Katara's head on Aang's chest with two flat palms also placed there as to steady herself.
Sokka looked back at the board as Suki continued to think, then quickly looked back and Katara and Aang. Something wasn't right… "I'll be right back," Sokka said to Suki as he scurried over to Aang and Katara's corner.
"Wait! Sokka! Where are you going? It's your turn!" Suki began harshly whispering before she turned around and saw Sokka creeping towards his sleeping sister, "Sokka… They're not doing anything! They're perfectly quiet and if you wake them up-"
"I'm not gonna wake them up Suki, relax," Sokka replied, "I just don't like where my sister's leg is."
"Sokka it's fine! They're a couple and it's not like my leg hasn't been there!" Suki argued.
"You're not my little sister. And besides we're older. This'll just take a second, and I'm not gonna wake either of them up," Sokka replied.
Sokka carefully knelt down beside Aang, and slowly extended his arms so that they reached Katara's leg, which was nestled in between Aang's. Sokka really hoped that they both weren't aware of where her leg had been when they had fallen asleep. He slowly, very gently grasped Katara's ankle, and lifted her leg out from in between Aang's and set it down with her other leg, next to him instead. Sokka let out a breath, he had woken anyone up, but as he did, Aang twitched a bit and mumbled something incoherent. Sokka froze on the spot before realizing Aang was still asleep. Sokka made his way back to the Pai Sho board and finally took his turn.
Roughly 20 minutes later the Pai Sho game was heating up, and everyone had begun to wake up. First was Momo who began to chatter incessantly flying around Sokka and Suki's heads as they played. Next was Toph, who yawned, spat, then began to pick her toes. She was followed by Mai and Zuko who gave each other a peck on the lips before going over to watch the game. "Who's winning?" Iroh asked them as he walked back in the room.
"I am!" Sokka said with glee at the same time Suki said, "He is," with no enthusiasm.
Last to wake up were Aang and Katara, looking a bit bedraggled from their nap. Unlike the others, they didn't get up immediately, but sat a bit, taking their time to wake up. Aang played with Katara's hair, braiding it and unbraiding it while she leaned against him and stared out into space. Aang paused a moment in his newest braid in Katara's hair, "I think I slept on my left leg funny," he said as he went to move it. Katara shifted to leaning against the wall so Aang could bend his leg.
As he did so, a small circular object clattered to the ground, leaving Aang with a small red circle pressed into his calf. Katara reached across him to grab the object that had imprinted itself on Aang discovering… "A Pai Sho tile?" She said thoroughly perplexed as Sokka turned a shade of deep purple on the other side of the room. Suki just smirked, saying a thousand things while doing so. "Sokka, this tile wouldn't have anything to do with you would it?" Katara asked sweetly.
"I'd run if I were you," Toph advised him. And taking her advice, Sokka got up and ran out the door with Katara right behind him yelling, "I don't know what you did, but I'm gonna find out!"
"So," Suki said trying to break the silence, "who wants to play me next?"
"I'll play," Aang said gratefully, trying to get his mind off of the lone tile.
Aang and Suki set up the board while still listening to Katara's angry shrieks to find out what had happened and Sokka's frantic attempts to avoid becoming soaking wet.
"You'd think he'd have learned by now," Mai commented to no one in particular.
