"I'm home now. In my room actually. I love you my beautiful princess."
Azula smiled when she saw Hawky land on her windowsill. She rushed to the window, opened the scroll, and hastily read her lover's letters.
Sokka had left half an hour ago after a long day. As always, he wrote her.
Azula's smile widened when she was done reading his message. She was sitting comfortably on her chair, her sleeping robe on, with a candle on her desk.
"Glad you are. I was almost worried you'd get distracted by handbags or food. I love you, my handsome warrior."
Sokka had his hair down and his sleeping pants on, sprawled out on his bed, needing a quick breather.
He wasn't completely sure if his lover was up to writing since she was tired. Upon hearing Hawky on his balcony he jumped out of the bed with a huge foolish smile.
Like Azula, he went to his desk. Shaking his head, he chuckled at her message.
"Very funny princess. I have something to snack right now though. Did you eat something? Have you already tucked in bed with you fascinating sleeping robe on and ponytail that gives breathtaking view to your pretty neck?"
He loved teasing her, of course mixed with the truth in his words. Imagining her smile and blush while reading his flirty message surely made him satisfied.
Azula indeed blushed. She was tired but Sokka made her forget about that easily.
"You dirty-minded warrior. Indeed, I am exactly like you imagined. Unless deep down you imagined something else? Knowing you, you did. Do you have your hair down and are ... shirtless? I am drinking some chamomile tea."
"Are you sure the dirty-mined here is me princess? Yes, I am so very shirtless, but your skin is missing on it. Good, the tea will help you sleep comfortably I hope. Wished I could hold you all through the night while stroking your hair."
This time, Azula smiled differently. Her heart clenched.
"Me too. But soon it will happen. I'd rather be in your strong arms right now too. I love you so much Sokka!"
Sokka too, got emotional now.
"I love you indescribably much you know that right? I know, soon I'll never ever let you go. No matter where you go!"
Sipping from her tea, Azula wrote back.
"I like the sound of that. Can't wait to have you around for good. Good night my warrior."
She knew, Sokka would always send the last message, the gentleman he is. Both of them kept some of their letters in their rooms, to read them sometimes, and feel comfort in their memories. Azula kept more of them, since Sokka insisted to write the last one.
"Good night Azula. I kiss and hug you my love."
"Did you actually kiss the letter? Well, I'll give you a good night gift and kiss the letter back now."
"Of course I did! Your fingers touched this letter which makes it precious! I love you Azula, see you tomorrow."
They went to bed with comfort inside their chests. Hoping to meet in sweet dreams until they could see each other again tomorrow.
