Their bodies gave out and Suki collapsed, lying down beside Sokka. Though they were exhausted, they couldn't have been happier, which was easy to tell by the smiles on their faces.
Sokka yawned, trying to sneak an arm around his girlfriend's body.
Suki chuckled as she shifted to allow his arm to move around her. Her head moved and she rested it on his shoulder.
"Very smooth," she said.
"Yes, you are," he replied as his hand traveled against her bare skin.
His comment made her blush, but she said nothing more. She was focused on his touch, his amazing touch.
They laid next to each other in pure bliss, as if nothing else in the world existed except for them, and they were both happy with that thought.
Because of his touch, Suki felt sleep was beginning to overtake her. It was difficult to stay awake like this. Here she was sharing a bed with the man she loved. Her body was pressed against his, and the steady beat of his heart was enough to help her drift off into sleep.
"I love you," Sokka whispered.
Suki smiled, nuzzling against him. "I love you too."
"Can we just spend every night like this?"
"I think I'd be alright with that."
"Really? You'd be happy with spending every night like this with me?"
Suki lifted her head to look at him. "Pretty sure that's what I just said."
"I really want to."
"I do too." She kissed him on his jaw line, since it was well within reach..
"Then let's get married."
The suddenness of his statement surprised Suki. She laid there in shock.
"Suki?" Sokka asked after the silence grew too long.
She sat up and looked down at Sokka. "You're asking me now?"
"Yes? I think so..." He said, confused.
She pouted in reply. "No."
"WHAT?" Sokka sat up. He could feel his heart shattering in his chest.
"No. You aren't proposing to me right now!"
"Why not?"
"Because you're using sex against me." She smirked
"What?" His chest didn't feel so tight as she smiled.
"You heard me. I want a proper proposal."
Sokka just laughed, pinning Suki down against the bed. "I'll give you a proper proposal."
Suki looked up at him, waiting to see what he was going to do.
"Suki. I love you. I love you more than words can describe, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. Because of you, I feel like I can do anything. You give me the courage I need to get things done, and you always bring out the best of me. If I can't spend the rest of my life with you, then I don't think I can be happy.
"If someone were to just come up to me and ask me what happiness meant, I would say you. You're the reason why I smile every day. You're the reason why I get up every morning. And I want to keep it like that. I want you in my life Suki, forever. So, I would like you to do me the honor of becoming my wife.
"Suki? Would you marry me?"
Suki reached up to wrap her arms around his neck. "Sokka. I would love to marry you."
Sokka grinned from ear to ear and leaned down to kiss her. "I don't think I've ever been this happy before. We should have sex whenever I have to ask you something."
Suki laughed and moved her hands down to tickle him. "Don't you dare."
Laughter filled the room as the two messed around before finally falling asleep in each other arms.
