ATLA: Bonds Within Bending

Deep Fried Pickled Radishes

Sokka's POV

"You shouldn't use those disgusting trains underground, they leave an awful smell on you, lasts for days too", she spoke but I wasn't hear to listen.

"You could take them off?", I followed her through the door, held her waist and pulled her back with me as i leant against the door to shut it quickly, our faces almost touching.

She's usually quick to answer me, why is she suddenly so quiet?

"Yue?", I raised a brow leaning in a little more just to tease her, one of her hands slowly moved up from my arms that she held to support herself after I pulled her in, it sat on my cheek, he eyes meeting my own.

"I've missed you Sokka..", she sighed happily, we're so close I can feel the warmth of her face against my own, this is heaven, I've never been this close to her before, this is it. "This is new, what has this city done to you?", she giggled softly, shifting her body slightly, just to remind me that it's against me.

"I guess I'm a little more confident", I shrugged trying to stay confident and not turn back into the super awkward Sokka I usually am around her. Oh and I am definitely not more confident, just more desperate, but I can't tell her that.

"Hmm, maybe, though I'm sure this city has made you homesick..", her other hand moved down my chest to the belt of my pants, slowly beginning to unbuckle it. Her eyes glanced down to see what she was doing then looked back into my eyes, "I can remind you of home..".

I was too distracted by the playful look in her eyes and softened voice to even realise she had taken the belt off. She stepped back and placed it in one of my hands, holding my other to lead me to the bedroom of her hotel suite.

Before I could put the belt down she quickly stopped me by grabbing my wrist, it was a shock but a good shock, she has a hard grip. "We need that", she looked stern now, I don't know what is happening all that I know is that I'm in for a hell of a ride, nice one Sokka.

She sat me on the side of her bed, I was under her spell, whatever she wanted I would do it in a heartbeat. I watched her take off my pants, I was all for it until I realised the lights were on and the bedroom had large square windows surrounding it, so anyone could see us.

"Uh can we cover those? A-And maybe turn the lights off?", I looked over to the windows then back at her, she gave me a confused look and chuckled.

"What happened to that confidence Sokka? You got stage fright?", she smirked, beginning to get up off her knees, I pushed her back down and lent over so my lips were almost against her ear.

"Not at all, now come on, I've been waiting a long time for this..", I whispered then lent back on the bad, forgetting my pants were now around my ankles with my phone in the back pocket.

I didn't even notice I accidentally dialled someone.

Not just someone.

"Hey Sokka! Sokka? Hello? Sokka..? Oh my god..".

Katara's POV

Soooo, last night Aang and I got pretty close, then he reminded me we are basically strangers, and by him bringing that up and wanting to get to know me more, I know that he doesn't see me as just a fling.

But instead of waking up to him next to me, I woke up to a horrible smell.

Whatever this smell was, I just knew I had to get rid of it straight away, I frowned and got up, putting a pair of Aang's stupid slippers, I mean who would want flying bison on their feet??

Anyway, I followed to smell to the kitchen to see Aang completely unaware of it, humming and cooking? That explains the smell.

"Good morning", I smiled getting his attention, he turned back with a grin on his face, he has the best grin in the world, the sort of smile that just fills your heart up with love y'know? But not love because woah that's moving things way too fast.
