Stand Your Ground

Summary: Jet and Zuko are both stubborn teenagers. If Jet just holds on a little longer he will have Li.


Jet had been waiting for Li to come out of the teashop, like almost any other night. When the pale boy had walked out of the door Jet had walked towards him, grabbed him by his arms and pulled him into the alley besides the teashop where they were standing now.

Li quickly shook his arm out of Jet's grip. His eyebrows – or eyebrow, since one of them had been burned off and was now covered with scar tissue –were pulled into a glare and his mouth formed a tight line. "What do you want?" The boy hissed.

Jet moved forward and to stand in front of the pale teenager. "I think you know what I want." Jet had made it more than clear during the few weeks they had known each other.

"Then what is it?" The dark haired boy was playing ignorant. Jet knew that Li was fully informed on what Jet wanted from him.

The Freedom Fighter moved even closer. He brought his mouth to a pale ear and softly breathed out a whisper "You…". Li didn't push Jet away as the latter's mouth traveled across the formers jaw leaving kisses in its wake. The golden eyed teen actually didn't give much of a reaction. He was making progress, Jet thought as he reached Li's mouth and the teen still hadn't pulled away. "Just giving in would be so much easier, you know." He mumbled against the shorter boy's mouth before kissing it.

Li's lips remained firmly in place during the kiss. When Jet pulled away he saw that the other teen was still glaring at him. "Just giving up would be even easier, you know." The remark only made Jet smirk. Li should know by know that there was no way Jet was giving up.

"Now what's the fun in that?" Jet replied. Giving up wouldn't result in any fun. Not that it was only about the fun part for Jet. He wanted everything from Li, everything that was Li, including the parts that were hurting. The boy that had caught his attention and didn't let him focus on much else all day long wasn't perfect, and that was one of the reasons why Jet wanted him. So the pale boy was stubborn and wouldn't give into Jet? Jet was stubborn, too. He just needed to wait a little longer, the shorter boy was already starting to give in. Every day he was less and less frustrated with Jet, until it seemed to become more like an act than actual frustration.

Jet planted his mouth on Li's neck and started to kiss it. When he lightly sucked on the pale skin he could hear a soft moan forming in the others throat. Strong hands gripped the taller boy's shoulders. As Li let out a low growl Jet was pushed away. Hard. Jet didn't have much time to register his back colliding with the wall behind him. Li was on him and was pressing his lips against Jet's mouth in a dominating kiss.

The Freedom Fighter understood. The fair skinned boy hadn't given in, but had merely sought another way. And he had found one.

Jet didn't get Li. Li got Jet.
