My newest story and no worries I'm not giving up on any of my stories. I just started getting into a creative mood after everything that has happened. This is AU and has nothing to with the show. I know that it's been a long while and I'm really sorry about it. This is Sokka/Zuko. With mentions of Sokka/Jet, Aang/Katara, Toph/Haru. This is the prologue.
This is two years earlier
Sokka and Zuko were out for a date but Zuko was a lot quieter then usual. Sokka was talking about Aang and Katara dating. How he was happy that they finally got together and didn't need to see those looks they were always sending to each other.
Zuko laughed with Sokka when he heard him say that. As Sokka went on to talk about the other couples such as Toph and Haru as well as some of their other friends from school. Zuko kept looking at Sokka while he was talking but he wasn't thinking about what he was saying.
He was thinking how he and Sokka have been together for two years. It was when Zuko was 16 and Sokka was 15. He really loves Sokka. Really he does because Sokka didn't care that Zuko had a scar on his face from his father or that his sister was really psychotic. He didn't care that he someimes was antisocial because Sokka knew the real Zuko and care for him so much. They first told each other they love each other on Christmas last. Katara, Toph, Haru, and Aang had been so happy for them.
Sokka's father Hakoda and of course Zuko's Uncle Iroh were really happy as well because Iroh for the first time ever saw Zuko happy since his mother died. It was the same for Hakoda since Sokka's mother died when he and Katara were very young.
The worse thing before was no one, their family or friends were going to be happy with this. Now it was Ozai telling Zuko he had to give Sokka up after two years. He was now 18 and was suppose to marry Mai for the family buisness and to pass on the family name. It was that or have him hurt Sokka. He couldn't stand seeing Sokka hurt because of him so Zuko knew he had to break up with him now before it got worse. Ozai could possibly kill him and Zuko couldn't live with guilt. So this why Sokka could have a better guy then him no matter how much he love him.
"Zuko?" Sokka asked. "Is everything alright? You don't seem like yourself tonight."
Zuko looked at him and was thankful they had a private booth with curtains at this very fancy and expensive place in town. Zuko gently pulled Sokka over into his lap and put his head on his neck. He said in a muffled voice, "No, it's not alright. I just hope one day you can forgive me for this." He back off of Sokka's neck and pulled Sokka in to a loving kiss. "S-Sokka?"
Sokka didn't like the sound of this. If Zuko stutters then nothing was ever good. He replied, "Yes, Zuko?"
"I-I..." Zuko tried talking and Sokka nodded him to continue. "Sokka, I love you so much. So so much. You changed me when we became friends and changed me more when we started to date. I don't want to do this and I hope you'll forgive me one day but I have to break up with you."
Sokka jumped off Zuko's lap as if he had been burned. "What are you talking about Zuko?" He asked.
Zuko looked him in the eye and replied, "My father told me I had to break up with you. That he let this go on long enough. I'm suppose to marry Mai after graduation. Azula couldn't be happier. This way I have children and past on the family name and I..."
Sokka pratically yelling while interuppting Zuko, "You're break up with me because your father told you to? Your sister will be happy that you're marrying her best friend? You marry for love and your happiness not because of your damn families's fuckin happiness Zuko! I love you and you love me but you don't have the guts to stand up for me and our love?" He was quieting down at this point. "If you can't fight for me then this really is the end Zuko and I don't know when I'll forgive you but next I hope I won't hate you for it anymore." Sokka got up and left without looking back at Zuko.
Zuko did the one thing he hadn't done since his mother died. He put his head in his hands and cried for a long time.
