Prompt 12: Do Not Disturb (#63)
A/N: Well this got inappropriate. Collage AU.
"Zuko! Oh my GOD!"
Sokka rolled over and tried not to die a little on the inside as he listened to his sister and his roommate get it on in their room (and hopefully on Zuko's bed and not his.) He was offered refuge by Toph, whose room was right next door, which he gladly accepted - he really didn't need to see whatever was going down in the other room, and he sure as Hell wasn't going back in there until the sock was off the knob.
Unfortunately, for him, some things just couldn't be escaped, as the walls were paper thin and probably the exact opposite of sound-proof. He could even feel the vibrations of the bed knocking against the walls passing through onto Toph's bed, which he was lying on. Toph was sitting on Katara's bed, trying very hard to focus on an audio book of the class required reading.
"Mmm…! 'Tara…!"
A deep, crimson blush spread over her face. As Zuko's close friend of almost nine years, the experience was especially surreal. As it stood, both she and Sokka were going through pretty much the same thoughts, as they unwillingly listened to their sibling figures go at it in the other room.
It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen as often as it did - but it was the third time that week and Sokka was getting quite fed up at his sister and roommate's sexcapades. At first it was making out - that he could very determinedly tune out by turning to the wall and covering his ears. The second time around they exploded into the room already tearing each other's clothes off, and it was at that point that Sokka politely excused himself and knocked on Toph's door.
"Oh… GOD YES!"
The thumping got harder and harder.
Sokka screamed into a pillow, venting all of his frustration into a single shout. Toph glanced over at him with a sympathetic expression on her face, and hopped off Katara's bed to sit on the side of her's. Reaching over, she gave Sokka a soft couple of pats on the head.
"Hang in there, man, hang in there." She mumbled, sighing deeply as the words coming from next door eventually blended into an incoherent grunting.
"It's just TORTURE," Sokka sobbed, grabbing Toph's forearm suddenly. "Just kill me now. PLEASE."
Toph simply shook her head.
"Oh YES!"
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE." Sokka slammed the book he was trying to read shut. "THAT'S IT."
"What?" Toph asked, tilting her head.
"We've got to do something about the noise." Sokka said, grimly.
"Like what?" Toph turned slightly towards the wall separating the offending room and theirs. The noise was still going strong. "If you want to go up and knock on the door to get them to shut up, be my guest!"
"No - listen," Sokka said, before being interrupted by Toph.
"I'd rather not." Thump thump thump.
"I mean to me, damn it." Sokka grumbled, giving the wall the stink eye. "I have a plan."
Toph raised an eyebrow, leaning back against the headboard and crossing her arms. "Do you, now?"
"Let's give them a taste of their own medicine."
Sokka and Toph grinned wickedly at each other.
"Oh FUCK! TOPH!"
Zuko was in the process of kissing Katara passionately when Sokka's voice came from the other room. He froze, one hand still cupping Katara's chin, leaving both in an uncomfortable position - though not as uncomfortable as what they'd just heard.
The couple exchanged looks, before slowly turning towards the wall with a look of apprehension on their faces.
"Oh, SOKKA!"
Katara cringed. She really didn't want to think about her older brother doing… whatever it was he was doing to her roommate.
"YES! Oh YES!"
Zuko shuddered.
The couple slowly disentangled themselves from one other, feeling rather put off.
Sokka took a moment to catch his breath.
He was almost certain the plan was supposed to involve him and Toph making the noises Zuko and Katara were making to put them off.
Somehow, he was lying next to Toph, butt naked, and having experienced the best thing in his life thus far. Looping his arm around Toph's bare waist, he sighed in contentment, giving Toph a gentle kiss.
"…So how did this happen?" He asked Toph, murmuring into her hair as he held her close.
"You had a plan." Toph chuckled. "Nice going, plan guy."
"Well - at least they've shut up." Sokka grinned. giving the wall a solid thump. "You all done in there?!"
A few moments later, Zuko's shaken voice, muffled by the wall, comes through. "Er- yeah. You?"
He looked over to Toph ("Round two?"), and Toph nodded, the grin coming back in full force. She disappeared under the sheets just as Sokka said to Zuko, "Not even close."
Zuko whimpered, suddenly believing in karma.
