A/N: Not many Suki x Aang fics out there and I thought I'd take a stab at it. There will be smut in this story, not an insane amount, but it will be present. Although if that isn't your thing, you can skip and still enjoy the story, I hope. Enjoy!

5 Years Ago

Aang: 13

Suki: 17

It had been a long day in the Fire Nation for Suki. Another coordinated protest was underway in the Fire Nation and while Zuko assured the Kyoshi Warriors that there was nothing to worry about, the dozen people who needed to be rushed to the infirmary said otherwise. She was about to head towards her chambers in the palace when she saw the unmistakable bald head of the Avatar.

"Hey Aang! Did you just get in?

When she got no cheerful reply like she was expecting, she took a closer look at her young friend only to see that he had tears streaming furiously down his face.

"Aang? What's wrong?"

"Nothing," the Avatar responded too quickly and avoided her worried eyes. "Why would you think anything is wrong?"

Suki placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Because I can tell you've been crying. Where's Katara?"

Aang brows furrowed at the question and he shrugged her hand off his shoulder. "She's not here. She told me she needs a break from us."

"Oh. Do you want to talk about it?" she asked gently.

"No!" he responded fiercely. When he saw the surprised expression on Suki's face, he immediately softened. "Sorry, I'm just a little on edge right now."

Rather than pressing him further, Suki simply stood where she was and gave him time and space to think about what he wanted to say.

"Do you think it's true?" he asked barely loud enough for Suki to hear.

"Is what true?"

"That Katara has only been humoring me."

"What!? How can you say something so ridiculous?

"I'm not deaf. I hear what people say about us and I'm starting to think that they are right." He sighed dejectedly and turned his gaze towards the setting sun. "She's a beautiful 15 year-old girl stuck with a 13 year-old short, bald little boy who barely has any free time on his hands. I can't believe I ever got my hopes up that she sees me the same way I see her."

"Aang, look at me," Suki pressed gently. When his puffy eyes met hers, she continued. "I've never heard any of the things you are saying, but even if I did, I promise you that they aren't true. I see the way Katara looks at you and I can tell that she really likes you."

"You really think so?"

"I know so. I'm sure that whatever reason Katara needed a break, it has nothing to do with never having feelings for you."

"Thanks Suki," he said with his adorable little smile.

"Anytime," she replied and wrapped him up in a friendly hug. "And if you ever need someone to talk to about this stuff, I'm always around."

Present

Aang felt the back of his throat burn as he downed another shot. He had no idea what he was drinking, but whatever it was exactly what he was looking for. It must have been his fifth and he definitely was starting to feel the effects. He normally wasn't someone who drinked to wash away his sorrows, but this was the first time in the months ensuing his breakup with Katara that he hadn't buried himself in work.

"You look like you're having fun," came a familiar voice behind him.

He turned to look at his friend and smiled, "Hey Suki."

She took a seat next to him and playfully punched his shoulder. "I thought you loved parties. If it weren't for the bald head and tattoos I'd think you were Zuko sitting here all by yourself."

He turned and looked at the scene behind him. Kyoshi Island was having a massive party celebrating Avatar Kyoshi's birthday. People were laughing and having a good time and normally, this was an atmosphere that Aang thrived in.

And even without the party stuff, Aang adored Kyoshi Island. What he loved most about it was while they idolized him because he was the Avatar, it came from a place of appreciation. He never felt pressured to behave to what an Avatar should act like. Given where his relationship or lack thereof with Katara stood, his love of Kyoshi Island and the party atmosphere wasn't enough to lift him out of the funk he was currently in.

"I do. I guess I'm not in the mood to party tonight. Can I get one more?" he called out to the bartender.

"So instead you plan on getting wasted by yourself?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I'm not getting wasted," he fired back defensively. "I'm just enjoying some fine beverages your beautiful village has to offer."

She rolled her eyes at him. When the bartender refilled his glass, Suki snatched it from his grasp and downed it in an instant. "Come on," she said and stood up. "We're dancing."

He sighed and shook his head. "I'm not in the mood right now and-"

"Now," she ordered.

He chuckled at her intensity and took her hand. He squealed when she dragged him to the dance floor with the speed of an airbender.

Normally, he would always be the lead in any dance with his partner. Dancing was something he took great pride in and outside of maybe Ty Lee, there wasn't anyone who could hold a candle to him. But with the buzz from the alcohol, he happily relinquished those duties to Suki.

As they danced to the rhythm of the music, Aang couldn't help but notice something felt different about this. He had danced with Suki dozens of times before, but never had they danced together like this.

Every so often, their movements led their bodies to be pressed up together. The strange part of it was that he could've sworn that Suki was going out of her way to get them into that position. What was stranger to him was that he liked it.

As they continued to dance, Aang observed Suki more intensely than he ever did before. He let out a small gasp when he realized just how beautiful she was. He had always considered Suki to be pretty, but that was the same way he thought a flower was pretty.

This was different. He never noticed how breathtaking her shoulder-length auburn hair flowed whenever she moved. He never noticed how her dark blue eyes twinkled in the moonlight. And he certainly never noticed how sexy her toned figure was which was being highlighted with the dress she was wearing that left her midsection bare.

Aang soon realized that her beauty was putting him under a spell and the scary thing was he didn't want to be broken from it. As the Avatar, he was no stranger to attractive women throwing themselves at him. Even during breaks in his relationship with Katara, he never even entertained the idea of being with anyone else. In this moment with Suki however, he couldn't deny the energy that was flowing between them.

The next time Suki pressed herself backside into his waist, he firmly grasped her hips to prevent her from moving away from him. He looked down at her to see if she was ok with their new position. When she smiled at him, he returned it and the pair continued to dance more provocatively than he would've ever imagined.

As the number came to a close, he reluctantly let his hold on her go. He stood still as if his feet were encased in rock as Suki slowly turned to face him. Suddenly, the only thing that mattered in the world was her lips. He took a second to glance up at Suki's eyes who were staring back at him curiously.

As if he were attached to a string, his head began to lean towards the Kyoshi Warrior and there was nothing he could do to stop himself. When his lips finally met hers, it felt almost identical to his first ever kiss in the Cave of Two Lovers; shy and hesitant. This was the first girl he has ever kissed other than Katara.

And this wasn't just any girl. This was a girl he has been friends with for years. A girl who in many ways had become his closest friend since the end of the war. A girl who he was sure was going to be his sister-in-law one day. His eyes shot open realizing how messy this situation was and pulled back from the kiss leaving Suki looking up at him completely confused.

"Umm… I think I should go."

"Wait, Aang-"

He didn't let her finish that thought as he hurried back to his room.

Sleep was impossible for Aang. He was pacing back and forth in his room to tire himself out but that only seemed to make things worse. His thoughts were flooded with images of Suki and how beautiful she looked and how much more beautiful she would look if she were in his bedroom right now moaning into his ear as he thrusted into her.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" he said while banging his head on a wall.

Where in the world were these thoughts coming from? Regardless, he had to clear the air between them. The last thing he wanted to happen was to ruin their friendship. He ran off and it was totally unfair to leave Suki in such an awkward position.

But he couldn't see her right now, not the way he was thinking about her. He only knew of one way to solve this problem. He ran to his small bag and dug through it to find the bottle of lotion he always kept with him. Katara had first given him one years ago to keep his skin healthy, but he quickly discovered it had other uses that he enjoyed a lot more.

He shed his clothing and pumped a generous amount of lotion onto his hand. Just as his hand met his already hard member, a knock came at the door.

"Shit."

It was already pretty late so him pretending he was asleep and not answering the door was certainly on the table. As tempting as that was, on the off chance that this was some sort of emergency, he couldn't not answer the door simply because he was embarrassed he was about to jerk off.

"Uh, just-just give me a second."

He quickly slid his underwear on and tucked his still hard member under the waistband to hide his erection from whoever was at the door. He put on a courtesy night robe as putting on his normal clothes would take too long. Aang opened the door just far enough to see who it was. He was practically paralyzed as the last person he wanted to see was on the other side.

"Hey Suki," he said as calmly as he possibly could. "What's up?"

"Can we talk?" she replied shyly.

"Of course."

He was still in his room with the door just open enough to see her face. There was an awkward silence and Aang had to resist the urge to shut the door in her face.

"I was actually hoping we could talk someplace a little more private."

"Right," he said and smiled nervously at her. "Come in."

When he opened the door fully to allow her to come in, he immediately regretted it. She was wearing a snug, green nightgown that left very little to the imagination of her sexy figure. As she strolled by him, he saw that her hair was still wet from the shower she must have just taken and when the scent of her shampoo hit his nostrils, it nearly knocked him off his feet.

Suki took a seat on his bed and rather than taking a seat beside her like he was about to, he stood at a comfortable distance away from her by the door.

"So… what did you want to talk about?" he asked nervously. His heart was pounding so hard in his chest that he wouldn't be surprised if Toph heard it all the way in Gaoling.

"I wanted to talk to you about whether you think this bedroom could use a different color scheme," she scoffed. "What do you think I want to talk about!?"

He sighed. "I know. I was actually going to head to your room after I-"

He thanked the spirits that he sobered up just enough to stop himself from telling Suki he was about to jerk off to the image of the two of them having steamy sex.

"After you what?"

"It doesn't matter," he said while shaking his head. "What matters is you're here now, so let's talk."

"Ok then, why did you run off earlier?"

"I'm not sure."

Suki's eyes narrowed at him knowing he was holding back. "What do you mean you're not sure?"

"I mean I'm not sure. It's complicated."

"Are you not sure or is it complicated?"

Aang pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. There were a lot of different directions this conversation could go and he wasn't sure if any of them would produce a good outcome. He couldn't stomach to look at her anymore and turned towards the door.

"What do you want me to say Suki?" he asked with a sigh.

"The truth! Why did you run off after you kissed me?"

"Because I can't control myself around you right now!" he shouted so loud that it even surprised himself. He sighed when he was met with pure silence. "You see, now things are going to awkward between us and-,"

Before he could finish, he felt a pair of hands grasp his shoulders to whip him around and the wetness of soft lips pressed against his. The force knocked him back against the door and the Avatar was a frozen mess. For a split second, he considered pushing the Kyoshi Warrior off him to discuss the dangerous waters they were about to sail in. But he couldn't ignore how badly he wanted this.

While melting into the kiss, he took a hold of Suki's waist and brought their bodies flush together as she pried his robe off him leaving him only in his underwear. He couldn't recall when it happened, but their tongues were now involved in what was turning into a hot and heavy kiss. As intoxicating the feeling of Suki's tongue intertwined with his and the softness of her perky breasts pressed up against his body was, he needed more.

The hands that had been gripped to her waist through her nightgown traveled down to the bareness of her thighs before immediately traveling up underneath her nightgown to give her ass a firm squeeze causing Suki to moan into his mouth. Suki broke the kiss from his lips and began kissing her way to his cheek up to his ear.

"I need you," she whispered huskily into his ear and recaptured his lips with her own.

Not wanting to waste another second, Aang hoisted her off the ground to allow her legs to wrap around his waist and began to walk them over to his bed. He was too enraptured in the kiss to realize how close he was to the bed that his shin banged into the bedframe causing the two of them to fall into bed together clumsily with Aang still on top. In normal circumstances, he would've yelped in pain from the impact of wood smashing into bone or even laughed at himself. At this point though, someone could've stuck a knife into him and he wouldn't have noticed.

As they continued to kiss on his bed, Suki's hands that had been mindlessly caressing Aang's bare torso now had a clear destination in mind as they slithered their way down his abs to the waistband of his underwear and yanked them as far as they would go. He groaned into her mouth when one of her hands grasped his cock and began to stroke it. He grabbed a hold of that wrist and propped himself onto his knees.

"Take this off," he commanded, gesturing towards her nightgown.

Suki squirmed beneath him to make it easier to pull her nightgown over her. Before the nightgown had even reached her head, Aang buried his face in her now naked chest and took one of her nipples in his mouth. Once Suki's nightgown was fully off, her hands desperately gripped the bed sheet as Aang's hot kisses and fondling of her breasts was making her head swim.

When her hips started to grind against his, Aang had enough of the foreplay. He propped himself once again onto his knees, but this time, Suki took the initiative and removed her underwear without him asking to. Now completely bare beneath him with her legs spread, he positioned himself at her entrance.

As Aang looked down at his cock pressed against her opening, he realized he still had the opportunity to end this. If he wanted to, he could stop right now, politely tell Suki to leave, and they would hopefully be able to work out the awkwardness later. In this moment of clarity, he came to the distinct conclusion that he did want this and went ahead and filled her completely.

They both moaned loudly at the sensation and Aang's head sunk into the crook of her neck to calm his ragged breaths. After giving her a moment to adjust to the feeling of his hard length inside her, he began to thrust in and out of her with reckless abandon.

As he continued to pound her, he felt her ankles hook around the small of his back and her nails dig hard into his shoulder blades as she held onto him for dear life. With the feeling of himself inside of her and the moans and whimpers he heard from her hot breath into his ear just like he imagined, he knew he wasn't going to last much longer.

"I'm close," she breathed into his ear.

He shut his eyes and sped up his movements with whatever energy he had left. He let out a primal moan when he released himself inside her and based on the way her body was shaking beneath him, she must've reached her climax as well.

As he rolled over beside her, post orgasm clarity hit him harder than Azula's lightning. He glanced at Suki from the corner of his eyes and saw that she was staring at the ceiling as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. There was no doubt in his mind that she was thinking the same exact thing as him: what now?
