BOARDING
ZUKOS POV
"So it seems that Me and Aang are sitting together.. Toph , you booked yourself a seat by yourself, and Zuko and Sokka are sitting together.." Katara states. "Fine by me" Aang says blushing. "Yea! Me and Zuko, this trip is gonna be awesome!" Sokka yells out. "This is a private jet though, so there are a few extra seats if any of you get uncomfortable anybody" Katara says. I sigh A seat next to Sokka will only make my heart violent. Now that I know I like him and all.
"Sparky, your heart beat" Toph punches my arm and chuckles as she makes her way to her seat. "Come on Ziki, let's go!" Sokka takes me by the hand and I blush, he's holding my hand! Get it together Zuko...
ON THE JET, FLYING.
Sokka is right next to me on his phone and Katara and Aang are in front of us talking. I'm hiding my probably red face in my book and try to act busy. I get bored of it and put my ear buds in and listen to Piero Picciano.
SOKKAS POV
I'm scorllkng on my phone and turn my head and see Zuko listening to music. Suddenly I leap over and take a ear bud out and put it in my ear and listen to what he is listening to. "Nice!" I say as I give him back his ear bud. I'm inches away and he is looking straight at me and he's totally red. I don't question it and go back to my previous position. Quickly he realizes that he's still not moving and quickly burys his head in his hands.
ZUKOS POV
Does he have to make it so that I fall in love with him even more? How is he so confident to ding that, and so clueless also? I just embarrassed myself so badly I just want to sink. I'm so flustered right now my face is burning. When will this trip end?
LANDING
After what seemed like 100 hours, we finally land. I quickly get off my seat and leave the plane before the flight attendant can even hand me my luggage. I wait for everyone else to leave the plane and follow them to a a big, 2 floored bus that looks like a club on wheels. These guys are dirty rich! I follow the gaang onto the bus and keep my head down. After a few minutes of everyone talking we arrive at the house which is awesome.
"Ooo! this is the house we're staying at?" Katara gawks at the house.
"I dunno, i just asked my assistant to get me a big house that i can flex." Toph shrugs.
"Whatcha think Zuko?" Sokka turns to me for an answer.
"It's.. nice" I look away quickly.
"Let's go inside!" Aang happily sprints inside the house to reveal a fancy looking home.
"Find your rooms guys, I'm going to go get that mud bath!" Katara quickly leaves.
"Guys we should all go and buy each other presents." Aang says.
"Good idea" Sokka agrees. Which reminds me, I only bought 20 dollars, which i'm sure isn't enough for everyone.. Sokka noticed the troubled look on my face. "What's wrong Ziki?" Sokka asks. I let him call me Ziki..
"Nothing.. just budget." I say, barley above a whisper. "Well why didn't you just ask?" Sokka says way too casually, I look up and he's digging in his wallet and reveals a credit card and hands it to me. "Oh no, I couldn't.." I try to refuse but he insists..
"Spend as much as you want" Sokka says and walks out the door and just leaves. He's ho-why am I so gay.

DECEMBER 24TH, CHRISTMAS EVE.
SOKKAS POV
"mmm..please tell me that's the double chocolate fudge ice cream pudding your making? with the little whipped cream flowers?" I ask Katara, who's in the kitchen making the double chocolate fudge ice cream pudding with the little whipped cream flowers. "Take a lucky guess." She says sarcastically. I reach my hand over to get a little taste but she smacks my hand, "This is for tomorrow" she says. Whatever. I make my way to the living room and watch some random show that's a bit too interesting. I turn my head to see Zuko in the doorway just staring at the Christmas tree.
"Someone's interested." I saw and I walk over to him. Zuko just looks away. "I see lots of presents under there, let's hope that i go home with a filled suitcase." I say and smile. "I even got us matching shirts Zuko, I see a very nice future with us being the bestest of friends." Zukos still not looking up, but I can see he's smiling a bit and I pat him on the back and get back to watching my show.
CHRISTMAS EVE 10:47 DECEMBER 24TH
"gah!" I yell out as I sit up from the nightmare i just had, and look around my room and let out a sigh of relief. But I dont go back to sleep. I need some kind of.. comfort... I pick up my pillow and head on over next door, to Zuko.
"Hi" I say as I stand in his doorway and approach him slowly. "Can I sleep...here? Tonight? I had a nightmare and I just , you know." Zuko is barely awake but when he finally realizes i'm here and what I said, he invites me in. I, more than happy, plop down on the bed and stare at Zuko, who is too asleep to process this. I smile at him and hug him close. I feel him become less... stiff... and I fall asleep like this.
ZUKOS POV
I was just on my way to sleep until my door opens and I see a figure in the doorway.. Sokka. What is he doing here? He asks to sleep next to me, I just roll over and somehow he takes that as a yes.. I don't mind though. I slowly drift off to sleep but as soon as I am about to doze off, I feel warm arms around me and he hugs me. I love... this feeling. I don't want it to end. I feel safe in his arms, and thats when i sleep.
