SDB: Okay, so if you haven't read my follow up to the 'Massage' series on my profile, TEB is currently in the middle of nowhere with his family, I won't say where it is because it's not too far from where we are. But anyways, he has little to no chances to upload, edit and publish the things he's been working on out there on his laptop. So a few days ago, I got a big email from him sending me about 4 stories. 3 out of the 4 stories, he wanted me to edit down and make this, and the last is...I don't even know, it's ridiculous is all I can say. So sorry if this story seems a little choppy, but I did my best to pull elements from each story while editing this for him. Once he gets back (god knows when that is), he'll try his best to continue this story. Personally, I don't know if he's going to continue old stories, but all I can be happy about is that he's writing again. But without further adieu, new TEB18 story!
Suki lazily ate her popcorn as the other girls watched the movie. She never really got into these types of movies like the others did. Honestly, she didn't enjoy sleepovers. Growing up, she had a completely different life than the other girls. Beginning training at a young age didn't leave her time to have fake tea parties or pretending to be a Princess. While it left her body in a great condition, she lacked in social skills with her fellow sex. With her Father leaving the family, her Mother urged her to try to gain a regular life as a teenage girl. When she more than hesitated at the chance, her Mother had gone to her friend Sokka and asked him to get as many girls as he could to come to a sleep over. After nearly beating him to unconsciousness, Suki had to get ready for the torturous night. She looked down at her green flannel pajama bottoms with her Father's armed forces t-shirt going down past her butt, this was as girly as her Mother could get her. Her toes had been painted to match the color of her pajama pants. Katara had done them for her. As much as she hated to admit it, she was very attracted to the brunette. Suki didn't have much of a need for sexual contact, but she felt herself grow nervous like when her Father had first trained her in hand-to-hand combat without any protective gear. An unfamiliar heat grew within her loins whenever she came in contact with her. Suki was glad that she was on the other side of the room from her, it kept her mind clean as she was being bored to death. Thankfully for her the movie finally ended and Sokka's girlfriend Yue got up from the couch, "Whose ready for the sequel?" If she had her Dad's berretta, she blown her head off as the other girls cheered. The short white haired girl already seemed very comfortable at her house as she changed the DVDs. Hoping she wasn't going to be seen by the other girls, Suki snuck away from the girls and up her stairs. She stopped by her little brother's room, poking her head into the room, she saw him sleeping peacefully in his race car bed. Suki couldn't help but smile, her Mother wanted to keep him here so he could have a normal childhood, unlike her.
She remembered when her Father had to say good bye to her before he moved. He apologized for the military like upbringing, that it was something he would regret doing. As much as she was told that it was horrible being brought up that way, she liked her life. While she couldn't name every Vampire movie or any of the members of One Direction, she knew how to fend off a rapist over 100 ways. Suki reached up and grabbed the hanging string to pull down the stairs for the attic. Letting the stairs down gently, she climbed up and turned on the light to illuminate her room. Her mattress lay under the window, her dressers pressed against the wall to the left and a desk with her laptop against the right wall. She looked at the photo of her and her Father after a hunting trip; she wore camouflage face paint and a stern look, the type she always wore in front of her Father. Kneeling down, she grabbed her hidden shotgun and the cleaning kit along with it. She placed it on her bed and walked over to her laptop and played her music. One thing she enjoyed as much as a regular girl her age was music, though her choice in music was different than the girls downstairs. A slow power ballad from the 80's began to play as she sat down, her legs crossed, in front of the gun. There was nothing like listening to music while cleaning her gun. After dissembling the shotgun, she began to clean the chamber. "Whoa…" She looked up to see Katara's head poking out from the entrance to her room. "Why do you have a gun?"
"Relax, it isn't loaded or anything, I'm just cleaning it," Suki assured her, her eyes focusing back on the gun, not wanting to be distracted by her. "You have to clean your guns regularly."
"When did you get a shotgun Suki?" Katara asked, a little concerned about her friend owning a firearm.
Suki paused for a moment, "Well, I got my first shotgun at 13, but I got this one when I was 17. Why aren't you down there watching that movie with the rest of the girls?"
Katara walked up the rest of the stairs, "Why aren't you?"
She moved on to cleaning the firing pin, "Because an unpopular girl falling for the popular boy isn't exactly what I call a great plot. But since you seem to like those kinds of movies, I must ask my question again, why aren't you down there watching that movie?"
"Because I want to get to know you better Suki. You've been Zuko and Sokka's friend for the longest time and none of us have really gotten to know you," Katara reasoned. "Like, none of us knew that you owned a shotgun."
"I also own a .357 Magnum caliber revolver, but my Mom makes me keep in a safe, she thinks I enjoy the fact that I can literally blow someone away with these guns," Suki started to clean the inside of the barrel. "I think I scared your brother one time with it…first time I've seen a boy his age cower in front of me."
Katara continued to search for a topic that they could relate on, she looked over to her laptop to look at her music, "I hope you don't mind if I look." Suki's eyes left the gun for a second to see Katara's backside pointed at her as she looked at her music, she could see the outline of Katara's panties through her pajama bottoms. She tore her view from her and continued with the gun. "Oh! You like the Hot Tamales too?"
Suki nodded, "Yeah, they're a good band. I don't really like their third album but-"
"The next two albums totally make up for the lack of lyrical genius?" Katara finished with a smile as she turned back to her. She was more than surprised to hear Katara take the words out of her mouth. "That's exactly how I feel about it. They got a lot better when Matt joined the band and became the lead guitarist. He's adding more of a 'classic-rock' feel to the band."
Suki reassembled the shotgun, "I thought that's what it was." She stuck the shotgun under the dresser and cleaning kit back to their hiding place. Retreating back to her bed, she laid on the left side as Katara changed the song, another slow song, but Suki really enjoyed this song. "Turn off the light, would you?" Katara did what she was told and laid down on the bed also, hoping she wouldn't mind. Suki shut her eyes and relaxed, something she had been taught not to do, but what was the dark skinned girl going to do? But with her on the same bed as her, in the dark, alone, she couldn't relax. She looked to Katara, by the computer light, her eyes were closed, a smile across her face. She propped herself up on her side and studied her, but made sure to keep her hands to herself. Suki remained fixated on her full lips, then down to her slowly rising and falling chest, then down to her legs, wondering if there was a flaw on this body. Once her eyes went back to her face, Katara's eyes slowly opened and met hers. It was then that Suki realized how close she was to Katara, her chest almost touching the side of hers. Her hand moved to Katara's stomach and rested on it before she slowly leaned in. Katara closed her eyes and raised her head up to meet Suki's lips. After the meeting of their lips, they both pulled away to read each other's reactions. Neither seemed to object and Suki leaned in to kiss her again, this time it was a little more heated, Suki's hand moving to Katara's side. The kisses became faster, Katara pulled her on top of her body, enjoying the feeling of Suki's weight on top of her. Her hands went up Suki's shirt, feeling her toned stomach and lifting the shirt up along with her hands. Suki broke away and yanked her shirt off, her bare chest open to Katara. Katara repeated her action and tossed her shirt also, the brunette deciding to go without a bra also. Suki pressed their chests together as they kissed again. Katara trapped Suki's bottom lip between her teeth and playfully pulled. Once freeing her lip, she went down Katara's body, sucking on her dark nipple. Katara softly whispered her name, Suki nibbled on the hardened nub before giving the other the same treatment. She lifted her hips as Suki's fingers got past her waistband and kissed down to her navel.
Before Suki could reach her prize, she heard someone coming down the hall below them. She instantly got up, grabbing Katara's shirt and tossing it to her before putting hers on. Suki sat back on the bed as the creaking of her stairs got louder. "Suki?"
"Kato? Honey, what are you doing up?" Suki used her sweet sisterly voice, she had practiced it many times so she wouldn't be cold towards the 7 year old.
He rubbed his one eye, "I can't sleep."
"Come here," She picked up her brother and sat him on her leg, "Another nightmare?" He nodded as he rested his head against her chest. "You were watching my movies again weren't you?" Kato nodded once again and she sighed, "What movie was it this time Hun?"
"30 Days of Night," He responded.
Suki shook her head at her brother, "Kato, haven't I told you about Vampires? I've put Vampire repellant around the whole house, no Vampires can come within 100 miles of our house. Plus, they will not attack you as long as you brush your teeth and you've been brushing your teeth right?" He nodded. "Good, you have nothing to worry about Kato." She felt ridiculous for saying these things, but her Mother wanted her to say things that would put his mind at ease. If she had it her way, she would tell him to suck it up like her Father had done to her. A snicker at the explanation came from behind her and Kato looked past his sister to look at the brunette.
"Who's that?" Kato asked, hiding most of his face behind his sister's shoulder.
"That is my close friend Katara," The darkness hid the girl's blush. "She'll be here to protect you too, no Vampire is going to even come close to hurting you, okay?" Kato nodded. "Okay, go back to bed and get some sleep." She kissed the top of his head as he left. "We should get back to that stupid movie before anyone else comes looking for us."
Katara got off the bed and straightened her appearance, "You know, I was really hoping you were into girls also, I've always thought you were beautiful."
"Thanks," Suki wasn't very good with sharing feelings, let alone attempt to show more interest in the blue eyed goddess. "I've thought you were beautiful too." Suki gave her one more kiss before going to the stairs. That would work, right? With her face completely flushed, she assumed it was enough. They walked back to the living room, none of the girls seeming to notice their absence. Suki managed to make it through the movie, sometimes looking over to Katara who would return her gaze every now and again. She hadn't been anymore happier in her life than when the movie finally ended.
Yue got up and stretched her arms above her head, "Okay, I think that's it for tonight. Where do we sleep Suki?"
"My Mother said that most of you can sleep out here, I'm going to sleep in my room so you all can have some room out here." Suki said, getting off her bed. "If any of you are comfortable with the heat, you can sleep up in the room with me."
"I'll sleep in your room," Katara offered with a smile.
"I'll go too," Yue said, bringing a damper on Katara's plans.
The girl that Suki had found out as Toph spoke up, "Do you mind if we watch another movie?"
"Don't watch the last movie without me," Yue nearly whined, "That's the best one."
Toph chuckled, "No Princess, we're going to watch a real movie. We're going to have a choice between one of the original Friday the 13th movies or Nightmare on Elm Street." She had great choices in movies, Suki might like her.
"If you want them to freak out more, watch a Nightmare on Elm Street." Suki said before heading for the stairs. Katara and Yue quickly followed with their sleeping bags as she climbed her stairs. She flipped on the light for the girls as she shut off her computer that she had forgotten to close down.
"Suki, could we play some music as we go to bed?" Yue asked, "It really helps me sleep."
"Sure, just don't play anything stupid," Suki warned. The white haired girl walked over to the computer speakers and plugged in her iPhone. She could only guess what she played was some new pop star that was getting her 15 minutes of fame. Yue rolled out her sleeping bag as Katara climbed into hers. They two girls made brief eye contact before Suki turned off the light and got into her bed. It wasn't long until she heard the rustling from a sleeping bag and her bed groan with the added weight.
Katara's weight finally rested on top of her and they shared a small kiss, "Is she asleep?"
"Yep, she won't wake up through the rest of the night," Katara whispered against her ear.
"Then stop talking and kiss me."
Suki's motorcycle tore through the school parking lot, stopping on a dime in her usual spot. A pair of amber eyes watched her as she pulled off her helmet and smoothed out her hair. "You're later than usual." She turned to see Zuko sitting on the edge of his truck bed. "That kid you usually almost hit every day kept looking behind his back as he walked through the parking lot today."
She climbed up into his truck and sat down beside him, "Had to take Kato to school this morning, apparently weaving in between soccer mom minivan's freaks people out."
Zuko chuckled, "So tell me again why you couldn't make it to the woods with us this weekend."
"My Mom got Sokka to invite a bunch of girls over to my house for a sleepover," Suki angrily sighed.
"That's why Sokka has a black eye?"
"And a bloody lip and hopefully a cracked skull," She added. "But I had to deal with that…"
He couldn't help but smile at the thought, "How did that go?"
Her mind went through everything, mostly the parts with Katara. "I guess I learned something about myself this weekend."
"That you cannot fit in with girly girls," Zuko joked. "That watching chick flicks, painting your nails and talking about how cute boys are is your calling?"
"You know I can beat your face in right?" Zuko just smiled at her and grabbed his drink from the truck bed. "No…I think I'm a lesbian."
"Well we all knew that," Suki punched his arm, "Ow! You hit harder than Toph."
"I'm trying to share something personal for the first time in my life and you're making jokes," Suki punched him again, getting the same result.
Zuko put his drink back down and rubbed his arm, "Okay, I'm sorry, why do you think you're a lesbian Suki?"
"Well…I may have made out with Sokka's sister and got a little frisky…well, I was topless with her," Suki recounted the make out session.
"You're kidding, you made out with Katara? That's like if you mix vanilla ice cream with little pieces of bacon, that's awesome on top of awesome," Zuko said.
Suki looked down at her hands, "Well it was my first sexual experience and I'm really not good with…sharing feelings, it's like being dumped in the middle of nowhere in a different country with only a pocket knife."
He gave her a look, "That happened to you didn't it?"
"After 8th grade graduation," Suki told him, she saw the weird look he gave her, "Hey, at least my Dad met me at the airport once I figured out how to make it to city. But this isn't about what my Dad did or didn't do, this is about me being into girls."
"How do you know you're not into guys also? If I remember correctly, you never really showed attraction to either sex," Zuko reminded her. "Have you even tried kissing a guy?"
"No, the last guy who tried to kiss me was Sokka and I kicked him so hard he had to go through puberty twice."
Zuko laughed, "Well I'm not saying that you're not a lesbian, but I would suggest maybe giving it a try with a guy before you start changing your Facebook to 'interested in girls'."
"So what do you have in mind?" Suki asked.
"Kiss a guy." Zuko said, "Unless you and Katara are now exclusive."
"We didn't really talk about that," Suki looked to Zuko, eyeing him for a second before leaning in and kissing him. Her hand held him in place as her tongue played with his before pulling away and letting out a shaky breath. Zuko hadn't moved a muscle, his mind apparently frozen. "Okay, I'm definitely bi. I should have done that before. No wonder Jin had been after you for such a long time."
He finally blinked his eyes, "Do not tell Jinthat happened."
"Don't tell me what?" He looked to the end of the truck to see his girlfriend on her bike. She had a green scarf wrapped around her neck with a tight coat on.
He got off the truck, "Uh nothing baby, you don't have a first period right?" She nodded. Zuko whispered something into her ear and Suki saw her face light up as they went towards the school. She hopped off the truck, she was going to have to find something else to do while Zuko seemed to work out his frustrations on his girlfriend. With her Father on the other side of the state, she found that she had a lot of free time now. She only had a 3rd and 4th period, leaving her a full 2 hours before class then after 4th period was lunch. Suki already had enough credits to graduate so she was taking college classes for preparation for…well, she had no idea about college. Her whole life she was trained like Navy Seal but she had no idea what the purpose of her life was for. With what she knows and the skills she had acquired, getting a 9-5 job straight out of college would be a waste. Knowing her friend's 'mating' habits, she decided to grab something to drink from the local store by campus. She placed her helmet on one of the handles of the bike before leaving. Before she was even half way through the parking lot, she recognized Sokka's car come into the parking lot. He parked it in the nearest spot and got out…along with his little sister.
She saw that he still had the shiner on his right eye along with the split lip, "You have a set on you to show your face within 10 feet of me."
"Are you really that mad still?" Sokka groaned, "I apologized. Your Mom told me if I really cared about you as a friend, I would help you have a normal life."
"Yeah, a normal life. Watching a marathon of girly Vampire movies with your girlfriend will give me a normal life Sokka," Suki said mockingly. "You're my friend Sokka, can I trust you not to work for my Mom?"
He sighed, "I didn't even really want to, but she talked me into it." Sokka pointed to his sister, her eyes going to the ground, hiding her face. "She convinced me more than your Mom." Suki quickly understood Katara's intentions.
Suki tucked some of her hair behind her ear, "Okay, I'm sorry for beating you up Sokka."
He gave her a weird look, "Wait, what? You're apologizing?"
"Do you want me to kick your ass again?" Sokka shook his head. "Good, Zuko is a little bit busy with right now, so our usual plan is going to be delayed until then."
"Then I'm going to see my girl," His usual smile returning to his face. "See you in an hour."
Suki looked to Katara who was giving her a nervous smile as she played with her backpack strap, "So it was you, huh?"
"I wanted to get to know you a little bit more…" Katara confessed, "I thought it was a perfect chance…and I was right." Suki wanted to be mad after being put through that horrible movie marathon, but the girl was way too cute. "Are you mad?"
She walked past Katara, "Come on, you're coming with me to get a drink."
"But what about class? I have first period in 10 minutes," Katara said.
"Screw class, come on," Suki held her hand out to her, she looked at the hand, then back to the school. Katara took her hand and walked along with her. "If this is going to work out between us, you better not make me do that sleep over thing again."
She smiled, "So…there is an 'us' now?"
"If you make me watch those movies again, no," Suki said. "Because no matter how much you may want it to happen, I'm not going to watch you when you sleep and be attracted to your blood."
Katara leaned over and kissed Suki on the cheek, "You just made me the happiest girl in Republic City."
"That sounds like another quote from one of your stupid movies," Suki mumbled. It was a short walk to the store, both of them getting a couple looks, some just thinking they were close friends. Suki grabbed a drink from the cold section, "Get something."
"I'm good," Katara declined.
She groaned, "Jeez, we're not going to do this Katara. I know you want something to drink, just let me buy you something."
Katara pouted slightly, "Fine, but I'm going to pay you back, okay?"
"No, you're not," Suki told her, Katara picked a drink and Suki took it from her and paid. She handed Katara back her drink before putting hers in her backpack. Once they were outside, Katara noticed that they were going the opposite way of the school.
"Where are we going Suki?" Katara asked.
She didn't answer as they went over a chain link fence that had been pulled down to the hangout Katara knew that a lot of kids from school would go to cut class. With the store to their left, a thicket of trees was to their right with a creek was hidden in them. She expected her to pull her down there, but Suki took them behind the store, they were hidden from any curious eyes. Suki stripped her backpack off and backed Katara against the wall. "I thought we could use some privacy." Katara grinned as Suki kissed her, her arms going around the auburn haired girl's neck.
