Sokka ~ Surprise! Part Three

     As the day shifted to night, you were able to watch your first sunset and moon rise in a long time. You sat on top of a boulder and watched the moon rise. As you gazed at the horizon, you heard a voice call to you. 

     "Hey! Mind if I join," they asked. You looked and it was Sokka. You smiled and went to the edge of the stone. You gave him your hand and hoisted him up. "Thanks," he said. 

     "No problem! How come you are up this late? Did you want to watch the moon rise with me," you asked. 

     "Yeah sure." He sat next to you and watched as the moon made it's way from behind the horizon. The moon was large and brighter than you remembered. 

     "This is my first moon rise in such a long time. I missed this," you mumbled to yourself. You heard Sokka exhale and you could tell something was bothering him. "Hey what's the matter?"

     "Nothing. It's nothing. It's stupid," he said as he waved it off while avoiding eye contact. You took his hand and got him to look at you. 

     "No it isn't nothing. Come on talk to me," you begged. 

     "It's just... what you said about Zuko earlier, I don't know..." Sokka kept pausing between his sentences.

     "Sokka, are you jealous of Zuko," you asked in shock.

     "Well yeah kinda! You called him good looking, and you knew so much about him," Sokka continued. He pointed out everything until you put your fingers over his lips to get him to stop.

     "Sokka, you shouldn't be jealous of Zuko. Trust me."

     "Well I mean he's a prince, and a bender so..." Sokka trailed off. You placed a gentle hand to his cheek.

     "If I wanted a bender, I would have went for Aang. Besides, Zuko has a lot of inner turmoil right now and is highly unstable. And other than that, he couldn't give me the greatest gift I've ever gotten."

     "What do you mean," he asked. You turned your body to him and took his hands.

     "You gave me the gift that I dreamed of having. You gave me my eyes back. No one could make it happen, but you did. You allowed me to see a whole new world, not the world I used to know. Your world is full of beauty and light, mine was full of darkness and hate." Tears started to form in your eyes as you continued to explain. "My world was dark and cruel. I always felt that I didn't belong. Which is why I always got into fights... and why I have these scars. And then one day my vision was taken from me by a Firebender. They were able to stabilize me, but they couldn't give me my eyes back. But you did. You Sokka. And for the first time in ages, I finally see you."

     "Y/n, I-I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me before," Sokka asked as he put a hand to your cheek. You put your hand over his and leaned you head into his palm.

     "Because you never asked. I would never leave you for someone like Zuko. I love you Sokka. I know I don't say it much or show it but I really do. I would never leave the man that gave me my eyes back. I couldn't imagine a lifetime without you in it," you said. Sokka leaned towards you and kissed you. When he pulled away he had a smile on his face.

     "I love you too Rocky. You mean so much to me too. I never want to lose you," he said. You smiled at him and hugged him.

     "Dido." He wiped your tears away before kissing you again. Once you pulled away, you both watched the rest of the moon rise.
