Short Chappie for your enjoyment

Chapter 10 : Interlude

Sokka POV :

Why? Why can I not think when Zuko touches me? All I can feel is his heat, everything I plan.. disappears. Im the plan guy, if I cannot think, cannot plan then who am I? What am I? Can I allow this to continue? When Zuko finally gets tired of me, when he asks me to leave... what will be left? How long can I allow this to continue, NO, this is not right, I cannot allow this to take me over. Ahhhhhh... Zuko's fingers are skimming my arms, I can feel the thoughts fading, if this is wrong, why does it seem so wonderfully right?

Zuko POV :

My feelings come into sharp focus when I touch him. His skin is so compelling, the flames that ate at me, feed him. The energy he returns intoxicate me. All I can think is that I want... No... I need to touch him. I run my hands down his arms and he arches back, it is involuntary - so beautiful. My Sokka - all mine. I will never be tired of this feeling, never! He is the true fuel to my flame, he has returned emotions and life to me. Sokka, Sokka.. feel me, welcome me into you. Soon I will claim you and all your doubts and fears will disappear, when I am deep inside you.

Ang's POV :

Poor Katara, she feels so guilty. Who am I kidding, I feel guilty. How could we have missed Sokka needing us. He was always the one who was there for us. He kept us laughing, and we did at times see that non-bending disturbed him. Hell initially even Toph looked down on him, but I never did. Sokka is my ally, my friends and my brother. When he needed me the most I did not not notice. Some Avathar I am! I can't even find Sokka! He is NOT dead I know in my bones he is not.. I feel so down. NO wait I can't do this, I cannot allow myself to be depressed, Sokka never gave up - no matter what he smiled and made the rest of us smile, even when we bended stuff at him or knocked him around. I will not dishonor Sokka. Smile, Aang.. show Katara that I care but can still smile. I have to be her rock until we find Sokka, I will not fail him again.

Katara's POV :

Was I really so blind, how could I not have know? Sokka always, always knew when I was down, and he usually did something stupid to make me feel better. He was never afraid of making a fool of himself for our benefit, why could I never see it before? How could I not know he was suffering. He hid his pain over mom's disappearance for me, he wanted to go after the Southern Raiders as much as I did, but he sacrificed his revenge for my sake, so that I could grow. What did I sacrifice for him? I don't remember, sure I save his life with my bending, but I don't remember ever having to sacrifice something I really wanted for Sokka. How short sighted I am. Sokka! Sokka! Where are you, Please where are you? I need you, big brother. I need you so much. Please Sokka, be alright, please!

Short Chappie so that I dont get reported and loose the votes cause I have yet to count it.

Ok everyone IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE

Discussed with my great Beta BlueFlesche and Based on some of the responses I have had so far I am going to put it up to VOTE, now first up I am okay with going for the vote – cause well Fan-fics is about fans as much as about me. So please go with what you want to have a stake in the story, and don't worry I'll have fun making the vote work.

Why I choose this track so far Yes in this world there are benders - but Sokka is very human... cant figure out how to work it. If you've read Inuyahsa stuff you kindda know I try to keep it real... *grin as ridiculous as that sounds. So if its M'preg straight up it will be C'section - cause I aint having Sokka change parts.

So Vote Option 1 : M'preg with C'section ( and if you want give some possible scenarios, if its used you will be credited for it)

Option 2 : continue as is with Threesomes or moresomes. NO M'Preg

Option 3 : Some readers prefer monogamy, but cant conceptualize M'preg with basically normal humans, So here's another New option maybe make it a more spiritual thing. Meaning Zuko does not have to actually have sex with the women, the dragon spirit can 'connect them'. Making the child/children a product of the both Zuko and Sokka as well as the woman who carries the child. Kindda like surrogate.

Anyway if there are ties my Vote will break the tie Blueflesche has Voted Option 3, all other votes will be counted and informed.

Please vote.
