The Prince and The Jock

Cookies and Canoodling

3rd Person POV

In truth, Zuko and Sokka didn't go back. They stayed in that car for the rest of school. And then left as soon as the bell rang, beating the after school rush. Zuko's red car glistening in the mid day sun. They decide to go to Sokka's house (for the obvious reason that Zuko's father won't be there).

"Wait don't you have practice today?", Zuko questioned. He had forgotten all about Sokka's baseball up until they walked inside. "Nah. Coach gave us a break and moved it to Monday", he answered. He slipped off his shoes and carried them to his room. Zuko doing the same and following his boyfriend. When he got upstairs, he threw his shoes next to Sokka's on the floor and joined him in his bed.

His blue sheets were soft, and the boomerangs hanging on his wall were relaxing in a strange way. Zuko's heart skipping a beat when he felt Sokka's arm wrap around him. "Are you warm, baby? I know every time you come here, you basically freeze to death", Sokka's lightly teased. "In my defense, your house is constantly at exactly 55 degrees Fahrenheit", he argues. Sokka let's put a hearty laugh and Zuko's laughs follow soon after.

"I love you so much", Sokka blurts out, still laughing. Zuko pauses for a spilt second. They haven't said 'I love you' yet, but Zuko just continued to laugh, "I love you too, baby", he says. It's then that Sokka realizes what he said, and with a blush he burrows his face in his boyfriend's neck. "Did I seriously just say that?" "Yes, you did. But it's okay, you're cute." "You're the cute, my prince." "You're such an idiot." "Yeah, but I'm your idiot." "You bet your ass your my idiot." With that Zuko leans forward and places a sweet kiss to Sokka's lips.

It would have led to more if Sokka's stomach hadn't let out a loud sound, signaling that Sokka (like always) was hungry. Following his stomach, Sokka grabs Zuko and throws him over his shoulder and carries him down to the kitchen. Where he places him on the counter. "Your very dominant today, Sokka", Zuko pointed out.

Sokka suddenly stopped smiling and got closer to Zuko. "You...you could've been really hurt today, bub", he says. "I could kick Austin's ass anytime, you know that". "No, I mean with your dad...what if I hadn't shown up, what would he have done to you?", Sokka explained. With sad eyes, he placed his hands on Zuko's cheeks and brought his head forward. Their foreheads touched and they just stayed there. "I want you to be safe". "Hey, I want you to be safe too". Sokka's couldn't help but smile at that. The boy in front of him copied that smile.

Their faces inches apart, when yet another loud gargle could be heard. "I swear, your stomach is the loudest cock blocker ever". Sokka playfully shoved Zuko at his comment and runs to the fridge, where he finds a bag of sugar cookie dough. "Oooo look what I found", Sokka cheered. And showed Zuko the bag as if he had won it.

"And we can decorate them like Christmas cookies", he continued to cheer. "Uh, Christmas is still 2 months away", Zuko rolls his eyes. "Halloween cookies then", Sokka grumbles. He walks away from Zuko and begins to preheat the oven. Zuko jumps off the counter and follows Sokka, helping him. They somehow, successfully put the cookies in the oven.

"So, now what?", Sokka questioned as he stared longingly at the ovening. Most likely hoping the timer would go off. When Zuko walked up to Sokka and wrapped his arms around him from behind. "We could do..something on the counter", he smirked and slowly kissed his neck. "And you said, I'm dominant today", Sokka teased. "Maybe I wanna be dominant too", he whispered, causing a shudder to go down Sokka's spine.

"But my sister and Aang and Toph should-", he argued. "We can be quick, it's only fair", he remarked. "Can I touch you, Sokka?", Zuko asked. His hand began to travel slowly down Sokka's body. "Y-yes, god, please", Sokka begged. Zuko's hand traveled down farther. "This'll be fun", he teased and kisses Sokka's neck once more.

{Half an hour later}

The teens were now decorating the cookies. Both only wearing pants, hickeys covering their bodies. "Babe, look!", Sokka exclaimed. He proudly held up a cookies that was decorated like a pumpkin. Zuko laughed, "That's a great pumpkin baby". "Then why are you laughing?" "I-I'm sorry", Zuko said while still laughing. "You look cute when you smile", Sokka said. His face getting closer to Zuko's. Love in his eyes until he smudge orange icing on Zuko's face. "Hey!", Zuko protested.

"Oops, sorry baby." "You are not sorry!" With that, Zuko threw green icing and it collided with Sokka's face. "Oh it's on", Sokka declared. And not long after, an all out icing war began. Leaving both boys breathless and messy. Only ending when Zuko threw brown icing and it collided with Katara's face. "Um excuse me", Katara said, obviously annoyed.

Sokka burst out laughing, causing Katara to throw the nearest object to shut him up. Zuko rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, Katara." "Yeah, I'm sure you are-", she was cut off by Aang. "Are those hickeys?" Zuko and Sokka blush furiously. Throwing their shirts to each other. "Ohhh wow, you to got it on? Gross", Toph groaned. Entering the house, she grabbed one of the newly done cookies. "These are actually good", she said. "Why'd you sound so shocked?", Sokka said. "I mean I get it", Zuko laughed.
