Setting: Fire Nation Royal Palace – Zuko and Suki's wedding
"Whoa. Y-You look…" Sokka was breathless. "…beautiful."
Azula smiled softly. "You clean up nicely yourself. For a water peasant, that is."
"Yep," he grinned, "I'm pretty irresistible."
She rolled her eyes.
He laughed. "Well then… ready to execute our plan, milady?" He extended her his arm, which she happily took.
"Let's do this."
The plan was simple really. It had kind of started as a joke. Sokka, feeling bitter that he had to serve as co-Best Man to the man who stole his girlfriend and then proposed to her six months later, and Azula, feeling pathetic that she didn't have a date to her own brother's wedding, decided it would be funny for them to go together. It certainly would annoy their siblings, which was a plus, but ultimately they decided not to be so petty.
That is until they found out their friends were taking bets on which of the two of them would end up ruining the wedding. That's when they really decided to go for it.
They spent the entire night dancing, laughing, gazing into each other's eyes, and especially reveling in all the stares from their friends and family. Finally, it was time for the last song of the evening.
"Who knew a snow savage could be so suave on the dancefloor?"
"Only with the right partner," the swordsman smiled before dipping the firebender.
"Sokka…" She blushed. "I… I had a lovely time with you tonight."
"Me too – "
"It was fun to play pretend," she whispered.
"Well… maybe… we don't have to pretend?"
She choked. "R-Really?"
"Really," he breathed against her lips. That's when he kissed her.
"ARGH!" Katara shrieked with disgust, accidentally melting all the decorative ice sculptures.
"Huh." Toph smirked. "So Sugar Queen ruined the wedding. Guess we all lost the bet."
