You've Got Me Up Against the Wall
"Sokka, why are you always so adamant about not being out together during the full moon? I mean, I get it, you miss Yue, but...you have me, you know?" Suki pulled on Sokka's distant hand, wanting nothing more than to hold it as they made their way through the darkened streets to the Jasmine Dragon.
"I'm sorry. Really, I am, Suki, but what if...well, what if she sees us?" he asked hesitantly, sparing a glance up at the bright, full moon.
Suki fought to roll her eyes. "I'm pretty sure she'd be happy for you. Honestly. Do you think Yue would want you miserable?"
He shook his head. "...no."
"Then come on, hold my hand." She gave him a reassuring smile as she held out her open palm. He obliged and took it in his, sighing as he took one last look at the lunar body. "See? That wasn't so bad. No one died." He chuckled lightly at her joke, the air free of tension and now filled with innocent mirth.
And up in the sky, Yue smiled.

I just noticed that I use The Jasmine Dragon a lot in my stuff. Ahahaha :)
WOW, where's my humor gone? This is pretty sappy, if you ask me. For my standards as a writer, at least. I promise, the crack will come back...soon. Hopefully. I think it's my studies that have been bringing me down. Man, I hate economics. Sokka seems quite serious in this. Quite. And I'm seriously contemplating that last line. I mean, I can't just take it out. I must replace it with something if I do, but it seems really...corny and cheesey and overdone. But eh, what's done is done. I'm not one to edit drabbles with a stern eye or anything.
Right, so, tell me what you think! Any qualms, questions, praise, or potatoes you'd like to throw out there, please do so in a review! Because...they're fun to read and a good distraction from the wonders and joys of consumer education.
