Warmth. Comfort. Home.
Igloos were unexpectedly warm. Even though the fire from last night as good as died out. Igloos also looked bigger inside. The decoration made the place comfortable.
This place felt like home. Considering it was her first night in this igloo, it sounded odd to feel comfortable enough to call it home. But it was. It was her home.
And she also knew what the true reason for it was.
His bed… their bed was soft and warm. Probably the most comfortable bed she slept on. The reason for this was the same source. He was next to her. Her husband held her naked body protectively pressed against his exposed chest. His arms were wrapped around her caringly.
Their mouths had only enough space for talking. His eyes were full of adoration for his wife.
She smiled at that, and he smiled back.
"Good morning love." Sokka said and kissed her lips.
"Good morning." Azula replied almost shyly.
"Slept well?" he asked.
"Yes. You?"
"Never better. What's been all the other nights and days when this is how incredible sleeping feels like?"
Azula chuckled at that and kissed him.
"I wonder what time it is." she tried to find the small window.
"It must be well past morning. Are you hungry?"
Azula nodded "And I think you must be too? Or is it you forgot about your stomach?" she asked playfully.
"Nothing matters next to you. Besides, I only crave you as much." With that he kissed her passionately. After a time, they both laughed into the kiss.
"I love you Azula!"
"I love you Sokka."
They sat up on the bed, but Sokka didn't let go of her. Her arms were wrapped around his neck anyway. After the passion and heart race slowed down, they were very much aware that of their nakedness. A new sensation.
Last night had been great. He tried his best to make it as perfect as possible. And it was, without a doubt perfect. Love and will were needed and nothing more.
He carried her through the bedroom door, and they took a relaxing bath together. After that Sokka carried her back and sat her carefully on the bed. It was tempting to repeat what they did last night again. Especially now that Azula's skin was smoother and softer. But Sokka, other than giving slight caresses and kisses held back. Which wasn't easy for him at all. She needed breakfast. And he would show her around his tribe. In the evening they could go back to cuddling naked and lovemaking.
"What should I wear for your tribe on my first full day here?" Azula asked.
"You brought some warm parkas form the fire nation right?"
"Yes I did."
Yet he went for the blue parkas with a smirk.
"How about you wear blue today princess? You made me wear lots of red now it's my turn to make you wear blue isn't it."
He kneeled in front of her and put her underwear first. Carefully and slow. Her smirk vanished replaced by a pleasant feeling of his knuckles on her skin. She was also touched of how careful he was with her all the time.
Sokka took his time to dress her fully, except for the parka. No matter how cool he tried to be, a volcano was exploding inside of him. He gave her neck a kiss and inhaled her scent he loved so much.
It was Azula's turn to help him getting dressed. He put on his underpants and pants himself. Azula helped him with his shirts.
After combing each other's hair and also giving them presentable looks, they went for breakfast.
The day went by with Sokka showing his wife around and in the afternoon they went for Sokka's family for dinner.
A/N: I am more on the cute side with my entries so far. This chapter is also the shortest up to now. My entry next week is most likely going to be less cute. Thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed my stories so far. Reviews are always welcome.
