Sulking

"It's just who I am Suki. The sarcastic, meat-loving, sulking guy." Sokka said into his pillow. "That's part of what I love about you." Suki replied. "You know who you are. And I don't mind the meat and sarcasm, but you sulk too much."
Sokka lifted his head and muttered something unintelligible. "You're way too hard on your poor sister! She made her choice and you made yours." Suki said putting her hands on her hips. "Fire Nation." Sokka remarked. "Well spotted." Suki said, exasperated.
"Just because you're afraid of the Fire Nation doesn't mean Katara has to be." She pointed out. "It's not the Fire Nation I don't like, it's her new family." Sokka corrected her. "Oh, sorry." Suki amended. "Just because you're afraid of a two year-old doesn't mean-" "I'm not afraid of their son either." Sokka interrupted. Suki frowned.
"You need to get over it Sokka." "What I need is meat." Sokka replied, picking at his sea prunes. Suki rolled her eyes at his attempt to change the subject, and got to her feet. "Fine, have fun sulking alone." She said.
"Where are you going?" Sokka asked. "Out." Suki answered curtly. "It's cold." He whined. "Who asked you to come?" "Well then. You have fun being 'out' all alone. In the cold. With out me." He said. "Anything's better then sitting here with you and watching you sulk."
"Hey. Sulking is an underappreciated art form!" He said. "Sure it is Sokka." He watched as her back disappeared into the swirling snow and sighed.
He examined his pillow and slammed his face back into it. "Fire Nation Hogmonkeys." He muttered.

Suki felt a hand on her back. She turned to see Sokka smiling, and looking abashed. "I thought it was cold out here." She said mockingly. "It is. I only came out here to see you." "That's sweet. If only you weren't so full of it." Sokka's shoulders slumped again. "Well I came out here to apologize, but…" "Apologize for what?" Suki asked. She was clearly enjoying this. "I'm sorry for being a big jerk?" he tried.
"That's a start." Suki said chuckling. "And I'm sorry for insulting the Fire Lord's family. They aren't all that bad, I guess. For Fire Nation." He grumbled. Suki grinned. "Katara is the one you should be apologizing to, not me." "Ok. Alright, I get it and I already admitted I was being a jerk."
"And you'll have the perfect opportunity to apologize to her." Suki continued. Sokka began to nod and the realized what she had said. "What?" he asked confused. "Oh, I didn't tell you?" she asked smugly.
"I invited them for a visit. All of them." "No I think you forgot to mention that." Sokka said through gritted teeth. "There's no problem with that is there? Everyone else in the village thinks it's a great idea." She looked at him slyly.
"No problem here." He said. He wasn't going to let this bother him. "It'll be nice to see your sister again wont it big guy?" "Yup." He said. "And you brother in-law and nephew." "Yup." "Ok, now, let's spar." Suki assumed her battle stance. Sokka sighed as he drew his boomerang. This unexpected visit from the Fire Lord's family might not be so terrible. He missed Katara and hadn't seen his nephew in over a year. "When are they coming?" Sokka asked.
"Oh, they should be here tomorrow. The next day at the latest." "Nothing like a surprise attack." He muttered. "What was that?" Suki asked. "Let's Spar." Was Sokka's only reply. "Alright. One, two, three…
