Standard disclaimers apply.
I've decided to keep this one non-explicit, I don't want to ruin my first fic with a bad lemon.
"Really, no one's ever asked you that? Here you act so experienced."
"Hey! I'm plenty experienced, it's just never been the sort of situation where we actually, you know, talked about it."
"Uh huh"
"Seriously, when I've been with other warriors it's always been, well, that 'plausible deniability' you don't like, which doesn't lead to a lot of talking. And I went on dates in Ba Sing Se, but that was... Did you date any upper ring girls when you were there?"
"No, I only went on one date and that was when we were living in the lower ring."
"Well the upper ring girls put out, but they've got their own kind of denial going on, like they can't admit that they're going to put out, they just want to get carried away in the moment. So actually talking about it was out, before during or after."
"Didn't you have a warrior girlfriend though?"
"I can't talk to her about sex, I totally love her!"
"I'm not following."
"Well, when we get physical, it feels like this pure representation of our love, and if I started telling her specifics of what I wanted it would be like telling her she wasn't loving me right or... something..."
"You have got to be the most repressed man-whore ever." WHAP! "Ow!"
lineline
"So for sex do you like to... er, be the partner who... er..."
"Oh, and you said I was repressed, Zuko? You can't even talk about it."
"Hey, this isn't a repression problem, it's a language barrier!"
"Oh really..."
"Well, I didn't think you'd have a useful answer if I asked if you preferred coal or flame, and being extremely clinical seemed awkward."
"Coal or flame? Okay, that's just a weird euphemism. What's wrong with just asking who's on top?"
"I wasn't asking about positions, I was asking about penetration."
"Huh? Oh! Yeah, I suppose technically the bottom can be on top, but still, usually 'top' means, you know, the boy, and 'bottom' is the girl."
"Whoa, whoa, 'the girl'? There are no girls in this room, I mean there's only two girls for miles and I don't want either of-" WHAP! "Hey, what'd I do now?"
"Ack, bad thoughts! Gah, you jerk, you need to kiss me for thirty-seven minutes straight to cleanse my brain!"
"Thirty-seven minutes? That's an awfully precise amoun-mmmph!"
lineline
"Mmmmm... Hey Zuko..."
"Yeah?"
"I think it's been thirty-seven minutes..."
"Heh, must have lost track of time... is your brain cleansed?"
"Yup, but I think my wrists are bruised."
"Oh, I'm sorry! You should have said something."
"It's okay, I, um, I like it when you get forceful."
"Hmmm, yeah? How forceful, Sokka?"
"Well, I don't like a lot of pain, or any humiliation type stuff. But I don't mind getting pinned at all, and I kinda like being able to let someone else take control for a while."
"I can work with that... does this mean you prefer to be the girl?"
"Cut it out, you're gonna hurt your eyes rolling them that hard. And I'm pretty flexible on that front actually... You know, this whole friends with perks thing could work out. It's nice to just say this. Hinting that I like it a little rough just ends with me getting slapped around half the time."
"Hrmph, you've been sneaking into the wrong bedrooms."
"Heh, maybe. So... you haven't said what you like."
"Luckily for you, I like to be in control. I mean, I pretty much have to be in control of myself all the time, and that's easier if I'm in control of the whole situation."
"So you have to be top all the time?"
"No, just in control."
"Yeah, but the one being the girl can't be in control."
"You've been dating the wrong girls too."
"Look, I'm just stating facts here."
"Maybe Water Tribe facts, but I'm afraid you are incorrect when dealing with a Fire Prince..."
"Yeah right, Mr Prince, I'd stake my next month of desserts that the bottom cannot control the situ-mmph!"
lineline
"Oh, man... That was... that was nice..."
"Hmmmm, yeah, I think I'm going to like being friends..."
"Um, Zuko?"
"Yeah?"
"You aren't really going to want my desserts for a month, are you?"
"We'll come up with a way for you to earn them back."
A/N So since this was coming out almost all dialogue, I decided to have it be nothing but what is spoken (and pillow whaps). Review to let me know if you could tell who was talking or if it was a confusing conceit.
Next chapter will get out of the bedroom.
