Distractions (Sokka x Zuko) [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty-one

    Standing outside Zuko's door, Sokka looked up at the ceiling as Katara stormed out and then past him. He peeked into Zuko's room and saw the Prince sitting glumly on his bed.

    "Settling in ok?" He chirped, making his way in.

    "I guess," Zuko sighed. "Your sister doesn't like me very much."

    "Can you blame her?" Sokka plopped down next to him, the statement getting him a look. "Sorry! Not helping, I know."

    "No, you're right," Zuko sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "It just... it's hard."

    "Yeah." Sokka nodded along. He couldn't really sympathize so he'd leave it at that.

    "But I'm glad I have you at least." Zuko smiled over at him.

    "Aw! You're so cute!" Sokka cooed, bear hugging him.

    "Ah!"

    Laying on the bed next to each other laughing, Sokka laced his fingers with Zuko's. Someone clearing their throat though caused them both to shoot up to a sitting position. But Sokka quickly relaxed at the sight of Toph.

    "Katara wants to see you." She said to Sokka.

    "Ugh of course she does." He grumbled, climbing out of bed and dragging his feet out the door.

    Leaving Toph with Zuko. Alone.

    "So," She started, Zuko tensed up. "You and Sokka are dating?"

    "Uh," Zuko pursed his lips. "We never made it official but..."

    "You two are really something," Toph yawned. "Sokka said the exact same thing when I asked him that question."

    "Oh..." Zuko fidgeted with his hands. He wasn't quite sure how to act around Toph.

    "Yeah. You should probably make it official." Toph sighed.

    "Okay...?" Zuko raised a brow. 

    "Ok bye." 

    What?

_

    Shaking his hands to hopefully ease his nerves, Zuko waited for Aang.

    "Ready to go Sifu hotman?" Aang chirped from behind him.

    "What?" Zuko turned around, his nerves replaced with confusion. "Don't call me that."

    "Okay," Aang smiled, putting his glider down. "What are we learning first?"

    "First, I need to see where you're at," Zuko folded his arms across his chest. "Show me. Any amount of fire you can produce."

    With a curt nod, Aang took a stance. Moving through the motions, he went to perform a fireball but all that came out was a fat poof of smoke. He slowly looked back to Zuko with a sheepish grin. 

    "Maybe a demonstration?" He suggested, standing straight.

    "Good idea," Zuko nodded. "You might want to stand back."

    Taking a similar stance to the one Aang had before, Zuko moved through the motions and performed the same move. No smoke came out but the fire that was made wasn't very impressive. Aang clapped for him though, eyes wide in wonder.

    "What was that?! That was the worst firebending I've ever seen?" He examined his hands. 

    "I thought it was nice." Aang shrugged.
