Is it just a coincidence? (Sokka x Zuko) [COMPLETED]

Chapter Thirteen

    Zuko complied, a tiny smile edging his lips as he closed his eyes. The ignition turned off and Sokka unbuckled his seatbelt along with Zuko's.

    "Gimme a second." He whispered before getting out of the car and then going around to open Zuko's door.

    "Can I open my eyes yet?" Zuko chuckled.

    "Nope!" Sokka chirped, helping him out of the car.

    Hearing the door close, Sokka grabbed his shoulders and turned him to face a certain direction.

    "Okay, open them."

    Opening his eyes, Zuko first looked at Sokka's smiling face before turning to the mysterious view before him.

    A pond that was large enough to just barely kiss the edge of the horizon stretched out in front of them. The moon shone down and reflected off the water. Looking up, Zuko was mesmerized by the stars that speckled the sky and the clustered flurry of them that lined one part of the open space.

    "That's the milky way," Sokka stated softly, pressing his head against Zuko's and pointing at the cluster. "And there's a few constellations if you look hard enough, there's a teacup, a boomerang which I found myself but no one recognizes it as a constellation, and a few others."

    "It's beautiful..." Zuko whispered.

    Sokka nodded in silent agreement, staring up at the sky with him. After a few moments he looked down at Zuko's loose hanging hand. Taking in a breath, he took the hand in his lightly. Zuko smiled, his eyes stayed on the sky but his fingers laced with Sokka's.

    "Hey, Zuko," Sokka said softly, catching the other's attention. "Can I kiss you?"

    Zuko's eyes widened at the question but he nodded, closing his eyes as Sokka leaned in.

    Pressing his lips lightly against Zuko's, Sokka revelled in their warm softness. It felt so right. The way they fit together and everything else. Their hearts racing, Sokka pulled away, scared that he'd lose his breath if he held the kiss for longer.

    Zuko's eyes were wide, his unscathed cheek flushing a full pink. They gazed into each other's eyes for a while, lost for words.

    Zuko unlaced his hand from Sokka's and moved it to pull him in, pressing their lips together again. This time he was less hesitant, hellbent on memorizing the feeling of Sokka's mouth on his. Sokka grasped the other's waist, pulling him against him. Deepening the kiss, his hand moved up to hold Zuko's head closer.

    They pulled away for a fragment of a moment only to return to one another, this time Zuko let his lips part to give Sokka access which he gladly took. Pressing Zuko against the car, he almost lost his mind in the feeling. How on earth did kissing feel this good?

    Obviously Zuko felt the same because a low hum left his throat as Sokka tugged softly at his hair and pressed against him more.

    Parting again, they caught their breath. Sokka wrapped his arms around Zuko, holding him close.

    "I... That was..." He uttered.

    "Unlike anything I've ever felt." Zuko huffed, clutching tightly to Sokka's shirt.

    Sokka loosened his grip on Zuko, aiming to pull away but Zuko held him closer. Tightening his grip.

    "No... Hold me longer."

    Sokka lay on his bed wide awake. He stared at the ceiling, running the night over in his head again and again. If kissing felt that good, then how would the full act feel?

   He let out a staggered breath, thinking about it. Zuko under him... Flushed and erotic. Damn. Sokka bit his lip, feeling himself get turned on. Shit.

    A low ding from his bedside table caught his attention.

Z: "hey uh... Weird question but what exactly are you thinking about?"

    Sokka panicked. Damn his overactive imagination... He hadn't ever been this turned on before, how was he supposed to help it? And would it affect Zuko? If it did though, wouldn't that mean that they were soulmates?

S: "not kid friendly stuff"

Z: "..."
Z: "about?"

    Sokka flushed, chuckling into his pillow, he desperately tried to ignore the discomfort down under.

S: "what do you think?"

Z: "...Me?"

    Laughing a bit, Sokka sat up.

S: "bingo"

    He paused.

S: "sorry, does that make you uncomfortable?"

Z: "no. I'm actually happy about it. This means that we really are soulmates though then right?"

S: "Yeah, I suppose it does."

Z: "what now?"

S: "whatever you want."

    There was a pause.

Z: "want to call? And uh... Take care of our problems?"

    Flushing furiously at Zuko's sudden fowardness. Sokka sat up.

S: "you're okay with that? It's not really taking things slow..."

Z: "Fuck that."

    His eyebrows shot up again, a sly grin edging it's way onto his face. He liked this side of Zuko.

S: "alright, are you alone?"

Z: "100%"

S: "k, I'm calling you. Ready?"

    He didn't wait for a reply and dialed  Zuko. It barely rang once before he picked up.

    "Hey," Zuko's voice echoed through the line. "Are you ready?"
