Hello! This is my first time around this fandom. As you can see, my first language is not english but my OTP is clearly Sukka. So my first M rated fic is going to them. Just to be safe tho. I really hope you enjoy and feel free to review.
This takes place somewhere between the promise.

Who would have known destiny will take a toll in a young love that bloomed in times of war? Duty and pleasure was something never to be mixed. Something at times the young wolf tended to forget. How could someone be so loyal to a lady when there was so many beautiful girls all over the continent? Sometimes he will simply glance back and grin to keep them blushing, but doing the most would be talking to them to just get that new, fresh, tingly sensation you could only get when something out of the ordinary happens.
After all, he would never leave her for them. He would only have this innocent fun and go back to her. The problem? He knew there was something changing between them. Girls are difficult aren't they? Love, courting and attention was what most of them wanted all the time, and, even if she was one of the most fearsome warriors in the nation, that wouldn't change the way she is.
"I'm a warrior, but I'm a girl too"
He sighed with a sheepishly smile. How many times he used to replay that kiss after all that has happened, it still made him feel those same tingly sensations he so much dreaded at night. Being in two different places made things harder for him.
-Hey, we're getting close to the palace, want to buy something before getting there?
His mind came back to earth while the Avatar just stared at him. Sometimes he forgets how fast time goes when you travel in a flying bison. The monk continued to stare at him with a smile that become to slowly fade away.
-Yeah, I need to grab something to eat so I don't get more grumpy.
-You know Zuko prepares a whole feast for us right?
-Well, I want to walk a little bit to clear my head.
Aang just shrugged and went back to cuddling with his girlfriend, unfortunately, to Sokka the whole gesture just triggered feelings that he desired to keep buried. "How I wish Suki could travel with me" He thought turning away.
Parking downtown, the gang waved goodbye to Sokka, resuming the last of the journey to complete. Darkness began to block his view, feeling as his world began to fade away while he was consumed by it.
He began walking to a flower shop, taking it's time to get there, admiring how the city looks at night. Something vivid and full of lights, people going out in dates and family to spend time looking a the shining stars above them. Most of the time that seemed boring to him, why spend all your days doing the exact same thing when you can travel and continue to learn new things and cultures?
But when the day came, he would most certainly love to do all the boring things couples do on friday nights.
Entering the store made him smell all the flowers at once, taking him out of his thoughts.
Stuttering at first, Sokka managed to get the attention of the lady behind the counter.
-Oh… What do you want?
Mai looked at him with her usual expression, showing no emotion nor interest in the motive behind the surprise visit.
-I wanted some flowers.
-Duh.
-I hadn't finished….Those behind you.
-Why would you give some flowers to the new fire lord? Right…your giving them to his girlfriend.
Sokka just stared at her unamused to her comments, taking his money out with almost one foot out the store.
-Your flowers
As he began to take speed to arrive at the palace, his mood began to sour. "Why would she even insinuate something like that? Bitch is bitter she wasn't able to get her shit right before souring Zuko's mood."
The wind began to caress his skin, bringing him back to earth. Cold but not as cold at home. "Where is home anyway if your lady isn't by your side." He thought. The lights hanging by the street and fire shining brighter started to make him disassociate again. Memories of him running away from enemies and spectating the final fight reminded him the only person he began to overthink lately.
Arriving at the palace, the guards immediately blocked his path. Glaring at them was the only way they knew he could not be stopped, at least not without a fight, he wasn't in the mood to wait for his friends to open anyway.
-Excuse me sir, I need to deliver this flowers to my beau inside the palace, would you kindly get out of my way before I have to take out my boomerang?
-Scram away, you're not the first one trying to impersonate captain boomerang.
-I'm really not in the mood, I'm hungry and I haven't seen my girl. Move. Is an order.
Exchanging nasty stares, the guards lifted they guards and prepared to fight him. His eyes began to only see lights numbing his view, taking his mind again to the pleasure of two beautiful violet eyes, glaring amazed at him.
Was it his mind?
-What are you doing? I thought you wouldn't come.
A small hand touched his shoulder. His face softened and his arms gave away the pressure he was feeling inside. Blinking rapidly, Sokka came back to his senses to see a concerned Ty Lee staring at him.
-They didn't told you I would come? Damn.-He scoffed.
-No, sorry. Today was my day off duty. I just came back from the circus. Come inside with me! I'm sure those flowers need to breathe from your grip.- She said gesturing to the flowers.
Sokka gave her the flowers, smiling and following her to the palace. The lights flashed hard at his face, making him walk at times with his eyes semi closed. Ty Lee kept talking about her act and her public, which he just listened without conversating too much, answering with shorts "wow" "really?"
Entering the main hall, he heard people stopping their movements to stare at the pairing. Searching around he didn't seem to find those eyes he yearned so much. Seems she skipped dinner today. Again.
-Hey pal! What took you so long?
-Got some flowers to…where's Suki?
Zuko stared uncomfortable at Sokka, standing up to get close to him. He gestured a sign for him to follow and he obliged, not without taking the flowers out of Ty Lee hands, thanking her for watching them. She only waved bye and sat with the rest of the group.
The corridor seemed eternal and the awkwardness felt as usual.
-So… You really missed her to skip the feast.-Zuko broke the silence, walking by his side.
-Yeah… I guess so. It's been some time.- He answered, not sure where the conversation led. He felt if he stared at him a punch might flew to his face, so keeping his cool and friendship was the best he could do.
-You should respect her a lot more. Your fame has gotten everywhere.
Sokka stopped in his steps, glaring hard at the fire lord.
-You're the one to talk. You know I would never do that to her, I didn't even tried to when we weren't a couple.
Zuko turned to face him to find Sokka with a somber look. Zuko knew that he already heard something about them. It was never meant to happen but it did, forever souring the relationship between them.
-Mhmm. Her bedroom is 4 doors to the left.- He replied passing beside him, wallking away to give them privacy.
Sokka fastened his pace with the feeling of darkening rising up again at his body. "Fucking coward. How he dared to say that" The feeling faded away, replacing his vision immediately with the bright lights he used to stare at the South Pole. The beauty of them only rivaling his lovers eyes.
He knocked twice. Waiting for movement. As footsteps began to come closer to the door, his heart fastened and his pupils dilatated more. He needed her. His body was imploring her.
The door gently opened. Violet eyes staring right at him, beginning to dilatae too. "How gorgerous she is" Her eyes mixing perfectly with the aurora boreal in his mind.
-Sokka?...You really came…- Suki said shocked to see him there.
Her hand reached his cheek, caressing him softly. He flew to heaven with a small touch from her. His temperature began to rise, making him lightheaded. He cupped both sides of her face, taking her by surprise.
-Sokka your flower….
Their lips met interrumpting her. Thanks to him giving in to his impulses. He felt Suki's body tense and relax, hugging him from his waist as they deepened their kiss. He began to move inside her bedroom, caring less what impression he would give to their friends. He missed her this whole time. He missed the intoxicating feeling he always tasted when he kissed her. The warriors slowly closed the door without breaking too far from their lips, continuing their dancing to the side of her bed.
Heat, he could feel it. "Is this how love feels?" He thought, caressing her face. The kissing stopped as Suki laid down in the mattress. Her eyes closed, lips partly open, face blushing and her breathing erratic. She was just beggining to change her armor attire, judging by her clean face. Her frame was concealed in her uniform but not her curves, so visibly in her position, yet, her face always got his attention.
Her eyes slowly opened, fixating on his bright blue eyes.
-I missed you too.- She said sheepisly.
He smiled, feeling renewed and happy. He climbed up on her, staring directly from above. The kyoshi warrior looked at him surprised, blushing harder. She began to inspect his face, guiding herself with her finger. He just closed his eyes and softly gasped. Just being like this aroused him, and she knew that. She knew his weak points. The heat started to rise again, his instincts guiding him through Sukis face and neck. Softly biting, licking and kissing, hungry for tasting her.
His hand began exploring her torso, carefully avoiding her breast, opting instead, to search for a way to remove her clothes. She followed grabbing the lower part of his vest, helping him undress. Suki stared at his chiseled body, that dark tanned skin covered in some scars. Just the sight of him began to slow her breath, reaching to one of his pectorals. He grinned, resuming to find the way to undo her clothes, asking for permission with just a sight.
She smiled, hiding part of her face with shame. He undid her upper part, exposing her lingerie. His breath stopped at the sight of her bright, oh so soft, skin. His eyes wandered between her breasts and her lips, debating which one he should go for first.
-Don't shy away babe…oh how gorgeous you look…- He said huskly.
She faced him again, cheeks red and with a shy smile. She placed both hands on the straps from her bra and began to slowly slide them down to expose herself. Sokka was livid and began to blush strongly. She stopped just mere centimeters from revealing her breasts. His body with urges began kissing and biting again the side of her neck. Slowly trailing to the center of her torso. Small moans escaped her mouth, arousing him even more. He grabbed the last of her straps and removed it, moaning into her skin.
Suki's eyes opened briefly moaning his name, placing her hands on his head to remove the hair tie and caress his hair freely. His hand traveled to her right breast and softly gripped it, making her moan louder. His mouth occupied with her left breast, exploring it. What started into slow, soft touching fast forwarded to more intense kissing, gripping and exploring. His mind completely lost in the pleasure he was giving and receiving, ignoring all the problems they faced before.
-Oh Sukki…How much I missed you.
Those words triggered a switch in her, opening her eyes and sitting down Sokka. To say shocked was nothing to describe his face. Her legs wrapped around his hips, feeling his bulge grow bigger and their bodies produce more heat, their torsos almost touching from the position they where.
-Then...why you didn't come for me sooner? You were the one that wanted space. If I remember well.
Her expression was a mix of pain and anger. His face of sadness.
-I… I am stupid. I know I am since the day I left the palace and you…
Her eyes revealed everything to him. Showing regret and remorse only to shift back to fear. His eyes began to fill with water. How he wish he could waterbend to stop them from showing.
-Sokka…It's not what they told you. It only happened because I was hurt you left me to toy around. I was wrong but it was only…
-….
Sokka kissed her crying. He was blind. Blind for her. He couldn't care anymore what had happened. Suki eyes widened, pulling away from his lips.
-Sokka, listen, I don't love hi…
Again, he kissed her. Shutting her up and gripping her waist harder to his torso. Tears began to come down his face, not allowing her to see them. Suki gave in the embrace and kissed him back, moaning his name in his mouth repeatedly. They stayed in that position taking their time to feel the heat rising again.
-Let's let it go, I rather be with you… I…
Her eyes stared at him, with pain and a lingering of excitedness showing. He lost himself deciphering all the feelings she has bottled up since he left her to only send her a card a month later begging her to be taken back. How lucky he was to even get a chance to be this intimate again. Not only to play with hey body, but being able to be that close to her face staring at those beautiful violet eyes. He grabbed her face, with shame . "I shouldn't have never let you go. I looked everywhere all this time but your eyes… those beautiful enchanting eyes…" He could tell how far they got by only looking at her eyes. But he couldn't bare to loose her again. His mind had been already made up the moment he kissed her again that day.
-You…?- She said again, taking him awaw from his toughts.
Her excitement began to fade, pain and tears instead covered her face. Anxiety and guilt for her actions she knew he was told about.
-I love you Suki.
Her mouth parted in shock and her eyes brightened.
-Do you really love me Sokka? I haven't even told you how far… I'm so sorry… I waited for you but you…- She stuttered.
-It doesn't define you… It's okay…That doesn't change that I love you.- He replied, trying to ease her anxiety.
Suki looked perplexed. Trying to find the words to describe how she felt. Sokka was a proud man. That had to be soul crushing, just like when she heard all the rumors that quickly came back to hunt her from the cities he stopped by. He stared at her cautiously, not letting go of her. "If I pull back she'll probably cry" he thought, unsure of what to do. But, this was the leader of the kyoshi warriors. She would not let things go that easily. She got off from his grip. Still sitting on him.
-But I want to talk about this. We need to get a clean slot for us to be in peace.- She said, visibly calmer but still serious.
He sighted. This was something he would rather skip over if it was in his power.
-Alright, let's talk. Want to cover up?- Sokka said grabbing the clothes they just dropped.
Suki blushed and grabbed her clothes. He just appreciated having this conversation if it meant for her to just get over the past. Could they keep up with being a long distance couple? Probably not. But he would rather turn an eye blind to it. At least for today. Darkness began to fill his safe space, making him shake his head to forget it.
-So… where do we start?-He asked with genuine interest.
-Have you been intimate with any...any other girl?- Suki answered with a hurt smile.
Sokka looked shocked. He has never thought to do that. Darkness starting to show in his face.
-No, you know I'm not like that. I did try to… to find you somewhere else. But I was so…so stupid for even thinking someone was going to be as great as you.- He replied ashamed.
-I thought I knew you before. So I'm taking my time to discover you again. You know….-Suki sighted heavily, turning away- It was difficult keeping up with you.
He grabbed her hand, making her turn around again. She had a sad smile.
Curious of her answer, Suki continued explaining herself.
-The times everybody came home, you weren't there. You only gave half assed answers to my letters, almost as if I was annoying you. And…yet…when you came home you were so charming
His eyebrowed rised. Her mind was not completely clear of her feelings towards him throughout all this time, and that confused him too. "Danmit Suki. Get it together." He frowned, knowing that saying that would make her give him the boot.
-I cried a lot. No man has impacted me as much as you have. I see you and... You're the man I would love to have by my side. Be right here.
Saying those last words made her remember, with fast images flashing through her mind how Zuko replaced him that time she was heartbroken. "What have I done… Playing with fire really burned me. I should be more compassive towards him" She thought to herself, sighing sadly. While the images clouded her mind, she was staring hard at Sokka, almost as if he could read her mind.
-Have you?- He asked, not really wanting her to answer. Her mind came back to earth as she was facing him, making him know it was probably further then what people have murmured. Her eyes were burning with guilt again, almost as if asking him to not feel as guilty as she was.
Sokka could feel his heart dropping. His pride beginning to fell as the darkening began to rise. She couldn't even smile halfhearted as she used to in the tought chats they usually got in. She hated feeling like this. She thought doing that could make her feel empowered and better. "I love you too Soka… so damn much".
-Did you fucked him?-Asked Sokka bluntly
Her eyes widened in shame and dissapointment.
-I did not fuck him Sokka. It was…
-It was what? Just pure fun?-Sokka rised his voice, interrupting her, being blinded by his temper.
-I did not fuck him! We were close but I couldn't because I was thinking about you.- She replied rising her voice too, annoyed at his hypocricy.
He began again to gain control of his mind. Shame and guilt starting to appear when he realized he was shaming her for trying to get over him. After he left her. "Great way to go dumbass" He thought mentally face palming himself.
-I'm sorry Suki… I…
-I did cry that night for you. A lot. We ended cuddling because I couldn't even focus to just get through the motions.- She said looking down at the mattress.
Now he did feel like shit. She was really using Zuko as an emotional bag to get over him. He tried to get close to her again, grabbing both of her hands, but she pulled away.
-What? Wait I haven't finished…hold on… How long have we been here? We need to get to the diner room or…
Now he felt frustrated. They have disappeared from everyones sight for a long time and her way from dodging the conversation is getting out, public again?
-As much as I love showing you off to people…-Sokka got close to her, not breaking eye contact. -You can't use that excuse right now. Lets finish this so we can be good...- He said as calmly as he could.
Suki gulped.-I mean I guess… I wanted this. As I was saying…-She closed her eyes, breaking the distance.- Yes, I'm also not proud of what I did with him that night, even if I didn't conclude it. I'm sorry.
Even if she felt guilty, those days were hard for her. All the future plans trashed for short lived romances he wanted to experience. Why was she still worst than him for doing the same exact thing? She thought bitterly.
-But please, stop lying to me. I know you almost banged someone.- The bitterness in her voice letting him remember what she saw that night.
-Almost. Just like you… I tried to imagine it was you. I felt sorry for her thought…. Yeah, I flirted but… can we just let it in the past?- He remindend her the point of the conversation, not wanting to go back and fort.
Her eyes still showed something, this time Sokka couldn't manage to describe the feeling those eyes were giving him. She did not feel guilty nor angry, she was just staring, in a blank sloth.
He laid down on the bed, exhaling heavily. This night was not going to end well today. But… He was still hers. That only time they made love to each other… those were hard times. He thought he could be a womanizer after sealing the deal but destiny showed him the opposite.
-I truly love you Suki. Since that day at the camp.- He spoke softly.
The sheets of the bed moved as Suki laid beside him, staring at the ceiling. The rythm of her breath making him sleepy as he faced her.
-Since that day I've been yours entirely. I just… didn't know it till the moment I let you go.- He contined.
She turned her face and body to face him, listening carefully.
-I had finally found my soulmate and… how I regret the way I found out. The news flew fast because villages are boring as shit. They don't have anything else to do than keep their noses in other people business. So of course, me being there was the first option to bother when an insider said Zuko and you were dating… I lost my shit.- He said his voice breaking at points.
His heavy blue eyes began to dominate most of Suki's mind, distracting herself gazing at his lips while listening to his feelings, trying not to negate them.
-I needed to see you since that day. I ran away as fast as I could to a mountain and screamed till my voice broke. I… I felt so stupid. I still feel stupid. Haven't I said that already too many times? I will never think is enough.- He finished almost as if he wanted to cry.
She broke a little smile, making the boy sigh in satisfaction. "She looks so pretty smiling…" He adventured to touch her cheek, noting her gaze was still fixated in his mouth. This made him smile, gaining confidence.
-The point is… this why I came here as soon as I could. I have even made a plan for us to…
-For us?- Suki interrupted with a curious look. Still looking at his lips.
-Yes- He answered blushing hard- For us… well for me to be close to you and around you. You see, every tribe needs a leader to represent them on court and… Since I'm the avatar's friend and all of that stuff… I asked to be the representative of mine.
Her eyes met his again. He saw the shock and happiness as Suki covered her mouth trying to hide it.
-You really did that…for me? But what about your father and…
-It's time to live my life. We can always visit them in free days am I right?- He playfully replied, now with a big smile.
Her eyes watered with tears of joy, leting a small cry of happiness come out of her mouth, rolling over Sokka to start laughing. "Wonder if she knows how cute she looks when she acts like that… all girly" he thought while smiling even biggers if ti was possible.
She stopped her celebration to kiss him. Still crying from happiness of having him again close to her. Oh how she yearned to hear him say those words. Her touch was enough to turn him on, catching on the fact she was not wearing her bra.
-I love you too Sokka.- She said seductively.
His eyes opened just to see her staring at him, smiling devilishly. Lust and fire fin her eyes.
-I will not let you go this time…
As Sokka finished his sentence, she launched to him, to resume their make out session. His mind was wondering in the city full lights in the city but now with suki in there. Walking on the street hand to hand, smiling and pointing at all the beautiful forms the light was creating in his mind. The future looking as bright as the lights.
Embraced, they continued dancing with their bodies and mouth, not wanting to let go. His hands exploring her body again, carefully and slowly, as if one rough movement would hurt her. Of course this was no the case, as she is even stronger than him. But he loved to do that, she knew she drooled when she was being treated so delicate.
The moment was just as intense and lovely as their first time, moaning their names and looking at each other with passion and love. At their ecstasy, their eyes locked, making him see those aurora boreal mixed with her face.
Restless nights before reuniting with her warrior were the least of the worries now for him. Not breaking the hug, her skin against him made him feel at home. Being the first of many nights that the young wolf could sleep again.
You can say there was a lot of eye fricking.
Ciao!
