It has been a month since Aang has let Katara go... and is eyeing Sokka now. Rated M for Lemon/Lime action in later chapters ;O
Don't own avatar, sokang, lemon/lime action, or any of that. But damn I wish I did :P
The sun was rising. Twilight was chasing away the darkness of night. Birds flew over the new morning. It was a rather cold morning, on that matter, especially in this area of the Earth Kingdom. It was near the ocean, a part of the Earth Kingdom that was the closest to the southern water tribe, which caused it to be colder in the morning than usual.
Aang had just awoken (unwillinginly, he still did not want to get up, though, he was still on the back of his bison, attempting to get back to sleep, but unable because of the cold air, causing him to shiver annoyingly.
"Ugh…" He said as he rolled over, hoping that he would be able to become warmer if he was on his other side.
But he couldn't roll over. There was something in the way…
He opened his eyes. There, right next to him, was Sokka sleeping peacefully in his water tribe sleeping bag. Aang awkwardly had his arm around Sokka's center. Aang's eyes wide open now, he saw that Sokka began to wake up himself, and he noticed what Aang was doing. He chuckled a bit nervously.
"Aang… what are you doing?" Sokka asked.
Aang's face completely turned red. He jumped up and backed away several feet, and began to frantically stutter in his explanation. "Ahh…. W-well… you see… I-I was sleeping… And I guess I g-got cold or… or maybe I was having a d-dream or something… but then I kind of… rolled over on you or something?" Aang spoke in a fast tone that was hard to understand and laughed what he hoped was a normal laugh to try to shake away the awkward feeling.
Sokka looked at him with a one eyebrow up, one eyebrow down face. "Okay…" Sokka said as he stood up and stretched his arms over his head and yawned. He had always slept with only his 'Underwear' (see cave of two lovers, scene 1) on ever since summer began several weeks before, even in such places as cold as where they were. He said that since it was summer, he wanted to get into suitable clothing so he didn't get overheated or anything. Katara worried about him, worried he would get a cold or something. Aang didn't mind at all. For quite a reason.
Aang had let go of Katara about a month before, the day he entered the Avatar State and controlled it… but also the day that the avatar line ended. Ever since he let her go to enter the Avatar state and control it, he didn't see what he saw in her before. Oddly, he seemed attracted to Sokka somehow…
He knew, of course, that Sokka would never feel the same way as Aang. Sokka had his own girls… Suki, Yue, Ty Lee… the girls so much better looking than Aang… This was the same feeling when Aang loved Katara, but she did not return the feeling back to him. It made him depressed, knowing that nobody he loved cared for him that way…
"Sokka…" Aang muttered to himself, looking blankly at the boy. He didn't know why, but muttering his lover's name seemed to ease his depression. Sokka, who was then putting on his clothes for the day, heard his name and turned towards Aang. "Hmm?" He said, a peach in his mouth, since he was already starting on his breakfast. "You say something?" He took the fruit out of his mouth as he finished dressing himself and began to eat it normally while leaning against Appa.
"It's… nothing…" Aang said, turning away sadly.
