Sapphires
written-9/14
This is really dumb, especially the ending.
Rated T for the dumb innuendo
Disclaimer- I seriously doubt the creators of AtLA would be wasting their time writing crappy SoZu fanfics - they would animate it D (Well I certainly would)
Even in the darkness, when all were safely away inside. Even when the paper lanterns were blown out and the merchants closed down. Even when the summer nights cooled down in the darkness that wafted through the cool silk curtains of a quietly subdued royal chamber; They were shining brightly. His eyes; those sapphires in their vitreous brilliance, shimmered in the cool night air. Even when they were closed, given into sleep and dreams, they still shined beyond brilliant in the mind of the Firelord
They were warm in the cool summer night and cool even in the hot summer days. They pierced through the conscious of the Firelord's very soul.
In the barely there light of that haloed summer moon. They were there cutting through even the thick fog of heavy breathing. Slow and even; Up and down, in and out slowly as if trapped in a rhythmic dream he saw them, constantly claiming his heart, even unwittingly.
There they were . . . Glittering, piercing his amber own.
"Zuko."
"Hmn?"
"You're doing it again."
"What?" He asked back softly of the sapphires. He was only half there. Half exhausted by the day and half hypnotized by the vibrant ice-piercing sapphire eyes.
"It's not all that much that I'm creeped out or anything- 'Cause I'm not." It was a groggy slur. "Actually," He paused settling into the man caught admiring his eyes, "I think it's really cute." He muffled his face into the hot chest before him somehow even without hiding those sapphire eyes. He glanced up sleepily and in a tiredly innocent way, he grinned. Zuko couldn't look away, silently appraising the sleepy flushed face of his lover. Zuko kept on staring straight into his lover's soul. Sokka blinked sleepily twice and then nuzzled back into Zuko's chest. "It's just plain weird though to wake up to you staring straight at me like I do at meat." He grumbled as if sensing the Firelord's creeping grin.
"I'd hoped you'd be used to it by now - Considering I think of you much more than some juicy walrus fat-kabob," Sokka hummed appreciatively, both at his lovers sentiment and the delicious imagery now taunting him. "Although," His voice dropped with his mouth and he whispered huskily against his lover's ear. "I do get hungry for you."
Sokka was already at his favorite butcher's shop halfway across the city in his dream, barely conscious, and smacking his lips.
"As I hunger for you, my spicy sausage - my love." Zuko frowned at the garble and pretended to ignore the drool rolling off his chest as his barely awake lover dreamed of meats.
The firebender huffed, frustrated and situated back into the sheets pulling a drooling Sokka along with him.
At the very least, he consoled him self sleepily, as he dreams of eating meats, It'll only be until the morning that I have to put up with those eyes haunting me in my dreams. Then I'll make sure he has some of my own special 'Spicy Sausage'. Zuko grinned impishly as he ignored a grumble about Sokka's fire-flake fried steak being too well done and then drifted off to sleep himself.
