Fire in My Heart [3] (Sokka x Reader)

14~ White Lotus

Everyone laid on the stairs of Ozai's vacation home watching Aang practice his firebending. Zuko stood by Aang, watching him closely with his arms crossed.

"More ferocious," Zuko ordered. Aang tried. "Imagine striking through your opponents heart."

Aang groaned. "I'm trying."

"Now let me hear you roar like a tiger-dillo." Zuko demanded.

Aang spun around and roared weakly, fire coming from his open palms and his mouth. He looked back at Zuko bashfully.

"That sounded pathetic. I said roar!"

Aang spun around once, extended his arms out to his side, and roared. This time, there was a lot more fire that came from his palms and mouth.

"Who wants a nice, cool glass of watermelon juice?" Katara chirped.

"Ooh, ooh! Me me me!" Aang began to run back to the stairs, but was held back by Zuko.

Katara passed a small hollow watermelon with juice in it to (Y/n), who only got a sip before she passed it to Sokka.

"Hey, your lesson's not over yet, get back here." Zuko said, holding Aang up in the air by his robe.

"Come on, Zuko. Just take a break, both of you need it." (Y/n) said.

"Fine," Zuko dropped Aang, who ran to get some juice. "If you want to lounge around like a bunch of snail-sloths all day, then go ahead."

"Maybe Zuko's right," Sokka said between sips. "Sitting around the house has made us pretty lazy. But I know just the thing to change that," Sokka stood up and pulled his tunic off, revealing swim shorts. "Beach party!"

So everyone got up, and got ready for the beach. It didn't take them long, and they walked down to the water. Katara made a small surfboard out of ice and began going over the waves, Aang was making a sandcastle of Appa, and Suki laid on her towel.

(Y/n) laid out her towel next to Suki's, but before she could sit down, she was picked up by Sokka. He had thrown (Y/n) over his shoulder quickly, and was running to the water with her.

"Sokka!" (Y/n) squealed as Sokka laughed. Suki laughed as she watched Sokka run with the girl slung over his shoulder.

They reached the water, and Sokka threw them both into it. The cool water felt good on (Y/n)'s warm skin, and when she breached the surface again, she saw Sokka already smiling at her. They were up to their shoulders in the water.

"You ass! What if I wasn't ready yet?" (Y/n) asked playfully.

"But you were ready. You're not wearing your regular clothes." Sokka shrugged.

"You're lucky I can't stay mad at you." (Y/n) smiled, stepping closer to him. She put her hands on his shoulders, and he put his on her waist.

"You can't, can you?" Sokka said silkily.

(Y/n) smiled and shook her head, and leaned closer to his face. Just when Sokka's eyes closed to kiss her...

She quickly shoved his head under the water.

Before he could come back up again, (Y/n) began half swimming and half trying-to-run-in-the-water to get away from him.

Sokka came up coughing, and yelled something at her that she couldn't hear. She knew she wasn't fast enough when she felt a hand on her ankle, and she was pulled backwards toward Sokka. Some water got in (Y/n)'s nose, and when Sokka lifted (Y/n) to stand up straight, her nose was burning.

"You can't get me that easily." Sokka smirked, pinching her side.

(Y/n) was trying to blow the water remnants from out of her nose, and trying to get ride of the burning. "Still got you, though."
