Oh my. Another challenge. This one from, Hollywoodland. Here it is;
"It's about time."
then the last line,
"I told her so you'd hear it."
(I have TWO more challenges after this one. XD Oh god, you guys come up with some good lines. I don't know if this is any good, but yeah...it was hard!)
Preston78: About your challenge, I'm sorry, I don't do song fics. Not my thing, sorry. You can give me another challenge to replace that one if you want.
This was REALLY hard. It's not my best...I'm sorry...I couldn't think of anything better. This is post-war, Zuko is Fire Lord.
"It's about time."
Zuko sat at his desk, Fire Lord crown on his head his hands clasped together on the magnificently crafted piece of furniture. Katara sat next to him, nervously twisting her hair around her finger. Sokka walked in, late as usual, and took a seat in front on them.
"So...why did you call me in here again?" The water tribe warrior casually leaned back in his chair, running his dark hand along the edge on the arm rest. Of course it was red. Everything was red. And it annoyed him, terribly.
Katara leaned closer staring into the matching blue eyes of her brother. Quietly she said to him, the look of innocence plastered to her face.
"Sokka? As you know our wedding is one week. Are you coming? Dad is...and Grangran...and even Bato...please tell me you'll be there."
Sokka's eyes narrowed as he placed a hand to his head and groaned. Giving the slightest nod, he shut his eyes painfully not wanting to look up at his sister and soon to be brother-in-law. Immediately Katara smiled running around the desk and wrapping her arms around Sokka's sulking body.
"Your the best brother Sokka! I knew you would be there! Thank you! Thank you! Wait till I tell Aang and Toph!" The water bender rushed out the door excitingly calling out to her friends. Leaving Zuko and Sokka alone.
Removing his hand from his head which was getting a headache every growing second, the blue eyes boy locked on the golden eyes across of him. Zuko uncomfortable cleared his throat not knowing exactly what to do. Shifting in his seat, he diverted his eyes from Sokka's. But the Water Tribe warrior's glare did not move the slightest bit.
"I still can't believe I actually agreed to this marriage two months, five days and three and half hours ago."
Zuko looked at Sokka when he spoke, scared that he knew the exact date and time when he asked permission to marry Katara. Oh that wasn't a happy day...at least he accepted. He never did say that he was happy about it though. With a sigh Sokka sat up straight in his chair, looking at the Fire Lord dead in the eye.
"I guess it's about time I give you my blessings. Our father will do it too, but I've decided your going to need my special and personal blessings."
Zuko gulped, raising an eyebrow at him. "Thank you...I think." He stood when Sokka did, and watched the boy with a careful eye as Sokka walked around the desk to stand in front of the firebender. Cracking his neck, Sokka looked him in the eyes and said with a low voice,
"I, Sokka, eldest son of Hakoda the Southern Water Tribe Head chief, give Fire Lord Zuko my blessings as he proceeds to marry my beloved little sister Katara."
Zuko opened his mouth to thank the boy but Sokka quickly interrupted him.
"Okay, blessing time over."
The Water Tribe boy warrior moved closer jabbing his finger at Zuko's chest and giving him a look that could kill. Sokka was about to nearly twitch, his voice even lower and on the verge of growling. Anybody with the brain of a hogmonkey could tell he was serious. Dead serious.
"If you ever hurt my sister in any way humanly possible, I swear I will kill you. I will hunt you to the ends of the earth, and drag you to the coldest and darkest corner of the world. That's where I'll hurt you until your barely alive, cut off your hands and feet, and make you beg. Then I'll curse your body in the Spirit's name, and throw you into the ocean where you will be eaten alive."
Zuko stood with his mouth nearly open, not wanting to move under the glare of Sokka. With a whisper, Zuko asked Sokka once single question.
"How long have you had that planned out?"
"Since the day I saw you, Zuko."
The Fire Lord nodded, not sure if he should be afraid of the other thoughts inside that boys head or if he was kidding. Sokka stepped back, crossing his arms.
"Look your a decent guy, Zuko. A good all around guy who just happens to be marrying my sister. And if you make her happy, then for the sake of all things good, go on ahead and marry her."
"Thank you Sokka. I really appreciate it."
Sokka turned around and began to walk out but Zuko called out his name to stop him. One thing was bugging his mind.
"Sokka! Wait! Katara said that you told her she had a horrible taste in men...why? What is that supposed to mean?"
The Water Tribe boy turned around looking at Zuko with expectant eyes. Pointing a finger at Zuko, Sokka smirked.
"Oh I didn't say that to offend Katara in anyway."
Walking out the door he added, calling out to Zuko over his shoulder with a bigger smirk on his lips.
"I told her so you'd hear it."
