Six Month Rule
(It's AU, just so you're less confused. Zuko and Sokka are besties.)
Disclaimer: I own Avatar as much as I own sleep; totally not. It's three am, lol…
Zuko jolted forward as what felt awkwardly like a pickle jar hit the back of his head with a loud thunk and a starburst of pain. He immediately whipped around, furious, only to have that same fury slide off his face almost instantly.
Sokka stood behind him, fuming. Zuko could guess why he looked ready to kill, but could only offer a weak grin and a nervous laugh.
"H-hey, buddy," he said hesitantly. Sokka's glare intensified, and Zuko cringed in response.
"I cannot believe you slept with her!" Sokka was shouting. So not good. "I mean, I thought we were friends! How could you betray me like this?!"
"Dude, take a deep breath," Zuko said hurriedly. "I didn't do it to piss you off or anything. It just sort of…happened."
Sokka's eye twitched. "Just. Happened?! These things don't just happen." There was a moment of silence in which Zuko searched the room for all possible exits, contemplating whether the twenty foot drop out the window was worth it. Meanwhile, Sokka ran through all possible ways of making life living hell. In the end, Zuko decided going splat wasn't in the cards today, so he tried to defend himself one more time.
"Remember the rule!" he cried in vain. "You can't hold someone responsible for who they sleep with after six months without sex!"
"That doesn't count with my sister!" Sokka was practically shrieking as Zuko winced from the force of his rage.
So, this is probably the most spastic thing I've ever written and the fastest. It's inspired by a few lines from Scrubs where J.D. and Turk have the same six month rule.
R&R please! I sleep better with those around.
