this one isn't a modern au! it takes place when they're at the western air temple.

"I know you're upset at me...maybe this will change your mind?"

———————————————————
You were sitting in a small room at the western air temple. With your fresh pajamas put on, you decided to go sit outside. The architecture at the air temples was beautiful, and you'd already found lots of places with perfect views of the sky. They helped you clear your mind, and oh how your mind needed clearing.

Earlier today you and your boyfriend, Sokka, had gotten into an argument.

-flashback-

"No (y/n)! You don't get it! I went to the boiling rock because I had to!"

"You could've at least told me! Do you know how worried I was? I thought you were out getting food, and now you're telling me you almost got yourself killed?"

"I can fight (y/n)!"

"But what if you couldn't? I know you, Sokka."

"you don't think I can? ...You're just like everyone else."

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Do I?"

Slam.

- end-

Yeah. Not your greatest moment. You knew that Sokka felt bad about being the only non-bender, and you made him think that you doubted his ability. You wanted to apologize, but you hadn't seen him all day. You replayed the fight over and over as you climbed the steps to your favorite spot. Once you reached it, you thought you would have a moment to mull things over, but instead you found just who you had been looking for. He was sitting on the ground near a ledge, knees pulled to his chest. He was tracing patterns only he could see on the floor, head resting on one of his hands. You immediately wanted to run to comfort him, but you had no idea what you were going to say, so you stopped to think for a moment. Once you had an idea in mind, you slowly walked over to him, not wanting to startle the water tribe boy.

He heard your soft footfalls and looked up at you, mouth hanging slightly open. He quickly looked in the other direction, wanting to hide his puffy eyes and red nose. You sat down next to him, not too close, not too far. you pulled your knees closer to you like he had done before.

"Hi." You said, crossing your arms and leaning your head on them.

Silence. He even moved his foot to be further away from you.

"I'm sorry." Simple, but effective.

Still nothing, but he looked at you for a few seconds. Before he said anything, you raised yourself up and shuffled over to him on your knees. (Haha on ur knees 😏😏) (I'm sorry lmfao)

"I know you're upset at me, but will this change your mind?" You muttered, starting to massage his shoulders from your place behind him. You sat on the back of your legs, moving your face to the crook of his neck. You planted small, gentle kisses from his shoulder to behind his ear. You moved your face further forward and did the same to his cheek and jaw. After a minute or so, you noticed tears start to fall down his face.

"Oh, Sokka. I'm so sorry baby." You shuffled on your knees once again, this time moving to the front of him. He tried to hide his face in his hands, but you pulled them away, leaning down a bit to look in his eyes.

"Hey...I never doubted you, okay? I was just worried. I don't want you to get hurt." You scooted forward a little and held his face with your hands, wiping away any tears with your thumbs.

"yeah?" He asked halfheartedly, closing his eyes. You could tell he didn't believe you.

"Yeah. I'm serious Sokka. I've seen you fight. I know how talented you are. How smart you are. And I know how much you care. Which, is why I know why you went to the boiling rock. It's not that I think you're going to get yourself hurt, I just don't know what I would do if you did. I love you. Okay?" You insisted, so close to his face that your noses were almost touching.

"You love me?" He asked.

"Yes, Sokka! More than you love meat and sarcasm." You attempted to make him smile. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and that was enough for you. he moved your arms to be wrapped around his neck and placed his lips on yours. You felt relieved that he wasn't still mad at you, but that's not what you were thinking about at the moment. Instead, you were thinking about how you were kissing your boyfriend and no one else was there. You were thinking about how you felt when he leaned his head to the side and pressed his lips against your neck instead. You were thinking about the sight of his face hovering above yours. And then you thought about the way you shivered at the feeling of his hands at your sides.

After what felt like forever later, you pulled him back down to your room, laying back down, but this time with Sokka. You had your head resting on his chest, and you could feel his heartbeat. mission accomplished.
