Suki adored hearing Sokka's stories. It didn't matter whether the stories were boring or exhilarating, Suki would always listen to them. The longer Suki stayed with Sokka the more she enjoyed hearing Sokka's tales and adventures.
Whenever he told them the first time, they were almost always true - with only mild exaggerations about his bravery and awesomeness or the amount of women checking him out. The first time hearing his stories were nice in their own way but the part Suki adored and enjoyed most was hearing his stories for the second, third, fourth, or more time. There were always changes in the plot, typically to make him look better. Suki couldn't ever keep from laughing whenever she heard something different. Sometimes she would keep silent and see just where his imagination would take the story next and other times she would stop him with a "but I thought something else happened" or a "that's not what you said last time" all the while smiling and trying to breathe in between fits of laughter.
Sokka had a way with words and his imagination was something else altogether. Suki just couldn't help but admire that about him.
Sokka loved telling Suki about his adventures. He loved the look of anticipation on her face before he started, loved the smiles that appeared on her face as he spoke, loved hearing her beautiful laughter at the jokes he had told during those adventures, and he loved the fact that she was just simply willing to listen to him - even if he had already told her about those adventures several times. She never once complained, she'd simply smile and playfully correct him whenever he didn't say something the same way he had told it previously.
He loved cuddling with her and getting to just watch her facial expressions throughout his story. There was a point where he wondered why he loved telling her his stories so much. He generally only ever talked about his adventures to little kids who were eager to hear the war veteran's tales but he soon realized that it was because of the fact that she was still like a child in that manner. Eager to listen and see how the story unfolds.
Every night the same request was made.
"Daddy! Daddy! Tell us a story!" Sokka and Suki's four kids would yell excited during bed time.
"Okay. Okay. Did every one finish getting ready for bed first?" Sokka would answer.
"Yes!" Would be the response, with varying levels of truth.
"Okay. Now what story shall I tell tonight?" Sokka would ask, pretending the be stroking a non-existent beard. Suki would always find herself happy she and Katara had "lost" Sokka's Wang Fire beard so he couldn't pull it for times like these. While the kids may have found it funny, both Suki and Katara would only feel the need to face palm themselves immediately at the sight of it.
All of the kids would yell various tales until, Sokka told them to use their inside voices and some order was reestablished in the chaos. Eventually Sokka would choose based off of who got to choose last time and which stories he hadn't told in a while. He would go through the story, incorporating different voices, hand motions, and sound effects that enthralled their kids. The three youngest would listen to the stories and never question the validity of any of it while Yue occasionally teased her father about pieces of the story changing since the last time he told it. Sokka would always deny changing it before giving her a huge grin that was immediately returned with one of her own.
Suki could help but smile every time her kids made this request and could help but nostalgically look back on these times when the request for stories became less and less. At least until Sokka got grand kids that he could pass down his love of stories to.
Sokka walks into his apartment in Ba Sing Sae after returning from Aang's house in the Upper Ring. Finding Suki lounging around on her stomach on his bed, reading scrolls didn't particularly surprise him. His girlfriend had always been a workaholic, so he had just assumed she was doing paper work again.
"Hey," Sokka greets, walking passed his bed to set his bag down on a nearby chair. He walks over to his dresser in order to change clothes. He manages to get out of his shirt before deciding he didn't really feel like changing or bothering to put his top back on.
"Hey," Suki returns, distractedly, "How was your day?"
"Okay, I guess. Aang was spouting out nonsense about wanting to start a new city again," Sokka answers, "How was yours?"
Suki doesn't respond, she just continues looking at the scroll in front of her. Sokka walks up to the side of the bed she is lying on and crosses his arms, wondering if she will notice that he was standing there. She doesn't. Sokka looks at her, taking note her facial expression. It was a mixture of distracted and something else that was quite familiar.
"Whatcha reading?" Sokka prods.
"...Nothing...," Suki retorts hesitantly, causing Sokka to lift an eyebrow in question. Suki would usually just tell Sokka what she was reading but she had chosen not to... Sokka moves closer to the scroll in an attempt to read its contents but Suki suddenly closes the scroll, hoping that her boyfriend didn't manage to get a glimpse of anything in it.
"...Seriously what the hell are you reading? I'm curious now," Sokka squints his eyes at her in suspicion.
"I said nothing...," Suki pouts, wishing her boyfriend would move on from the subject. She finally looks at her boyfriend in order to see if he would back off anytime soon. He wasn't planning on it. Sokka makes a quick grab for the scroll but Suki rolls to the other side of the bed to avoid him. She gets up and tries to run over to the door of his bedroom. But Sokka blocks her off. Sokka takes note of her facial expression again before slowly realizing what that familiar something else in her expression was. Lust. Sokka pretends to make another grab for the scroll, making Suki only bother to move her occupied hand out of the way, but he grabs her by the waist instead. She noticeably panics trying to get out of his grasp before throwing the scroll towards the door. Sokka lets go of her in order to get the scroll but Suki grabs his wrist and pulls him back towards her.
"D-don't...please?," Suki pouts, her voice still a bit shaky in panic. Sokka had to admit that this was the closest his girlfriend has gotten to begging him for something. He slightly wanted to listen to her in order to not make her upset but, at the same time, the amount of energy she was putting into keeping him away from the scroll made him way too suspicious. Was she cheating on him or something? The thought made Sokka's heart drop despite his desire to believe otherwise. The image of his girlfriend of four years in the arms of another man made him begin to panic too.
He quickly escaped from her grasp and made a dash for the scroll again. The moment he gets it in his hands, Suki snatches it away again and rushes back towards his bed. She plops down on the side she had originally been lounging on and makes an attempt to crawl to the other side once she notices Sokka coming towards her again. Sokka pulls her back by her feet before she can get over though.
"H-hey! Why-" Suki is cut off by Sokka suddenly pinning her to the bed by lying on top of her, "Dammit, you're heavy!" Despite usually cracking a smile at that comment, Sokka is too focused on getting the scroll. He quickly snatches it from her before opening it. Sokka blinks a couple of times as he scans the characters on the page. He had been expecting a love letter or something, not what he was currently reading...
"Er...where'd you get this from?" Sokka asks, glancing over the words on the parchment. He suddenly understood why his girlfriend had such a distracted and lust-filled facial expression plastered on her face as she read the story he was currently skimming.
"Mai gave it to me, saying that I would enjoy it," Suki sighs, her cheeks flaming up in embarrassment, "Can you get off of me, please?" Sokka gets off immediately, sitting down on his bed to continue investigating the scroll in his hands. Suki sits up too, deciding to sit beside him to gauge his reaction.
"Didn't think Mai was into this kind of stuff," Sokka notes, his own cheeks reddening as he continued to read the scroll, "Uh...are you enjoying this?"
"I guess...it's interesting to say the least."
"Didn't think you'd be into such raunchy love stories either..."
"I'm just reading what I was given...I hadn't expected the story to have so many...intimate scenes."
"Why are you still reading it then?"
"...'Cause it peeked my curiosity."
"Why were you trying to hide it...?"
"'Cause...I'm weird for reading it, right?"
"I'm honestly only thinking that you're naughtier than I had previously thought," Sokka smirks, before returning his attention back to the scroll, "Wanna try this...?" Sokka suddenly sits the scroll in front of her and points out of one of the many kinky scenes in the story. Suki blushes before shyly agreeing.
