I've decided not to post up through my phone everyday because it's way too much of a hassle and it's just not worth it to irritate myself like that.
But I have been writing everyday.
I swear.
Day #4: Snowflake
Characters: Sokka & Suki
Setting: Post Sozin's Comet
7/9/12
It all started with a snowflake.
And a request from Suki.
"Can we build a snowman?" She said, as she peered out the window, thousands of other snowflakes gently floating down.
Sokka looked at her with a cocked eyebrow, and she blushed a bit, before offering him an explanation.
"I mean if the snow keeps up. The girls and I used to take breaks to make them all the time."
"Sure." Sokka pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her waist, while hers went around his neck. He kissed her on the forehead and she smiled, burying her face in his shirt. He had finally grown, and now he was at least a head taller than her. She stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed him on the lips, before unwrapping herself.
"I'm getting kind of hungry babe."
"I'm going to make lunch." She headed towards the kitchen. "Help is welcome Sokka."
He frowned. He hated working in the kitchen. But he hated it even more when Suki was angry. And he knew that a surefire way to make her angry was to give her something classified as a woman's job, and then refuse to help her.
"Be there in a minute!" He called back to her, before he turned back to the newspaper he had previously been reading. He scanned through the rest of the article before folding it up and putting it on the table and following Suki. "What do you need me to do?"
"Cut up those vegetables."
He grinned.
"Don't use your sword." She added, and his grin disappeared.
"But Sukiiiiiiii."
"No whining." She laughed at him, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before returning to the task of cutting up a fish.
After some more whining from Sokka and bribing kisses from Suki, their lunch was done and they sat down. Sokka took a bite and savored it. Although Suki claimed that they should take turns cooking, they never did. He suspected it was because he enjoyed her cooking so much, and the only thing he knew how to make was jerky.
"The snow is really falling." He pointed to the window, and she smiled.
"Let's go outside after we finish eating." She took a small bite and smiled watching Sokka stuff his face with her cooking. She was glad that she was able to cook so well and that he appreciated the food she made him.
Every time she thought he was done, he would add more to his plate.
"Are you almost done?" She fidgeted. "I want to go outside."
"Okay, okay. Let's go." Sokka sighed, defeated by her puppy-dog eyes.
She jumped up and pulled on her boots and her coat, tugging him outside before he had both arms through his sleeves.
"Okay, let's get this snowman started." Sokka turned from her and began to roll a ball for the body. Something cold and wet connected with the back of his head, and he spun around to see Suki with a devilish gleam in her eyes. "Oh now it's on." A grin spread across his face and he scooped up snow, pelting it at her. She managed to dodge some of them, but a few caught her. She returned fire, and he charged her, both of them tumbling into the snow.
He was on top of her, and pinned her to the ground. "I win."
She huffed and pouted, and he kissed her cold lips. He drew back, and took in her bright eyes and her rosy cheeks, her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks, lips parted as she tried to regain her breath. She was beautiful, and she was his. And he wanted her forever.
"What?" She laughed. "You're staring at me."
"Will you marry me?" The question slipped out and he watched as she took in the words.
She had never been one to really accept the premise of marriage, she was happy to just be in a relationship, and leave it as it was. But Sokka wanted the whole deal, the wife, the kids and the happy home. And he wanted it with her.
She was silent, watching him as his face started to fall. He got up off of her before she grabbed him by the collar and tugged him back down, her lips crashing onto his.
"Yes." She whispered. "Yes I will."
I have a lot of Sokka and Suki feels okay guys?
Just because I love Yue, doesn't mean I can't love Suki too.
Please review.
