"Be my gray." Zuko looked at the man in front of him. He was perplexed. "Excuse me?" Zuko said, his eyes forming into thin lines. The man in front of him sighed. "Of course you wouldn't get it," he huffed, "it's from an anime. I'm going to an anime con and I'm gonna be Natsu from fairy tail and I need a Gray to be my side kick. You are perfect for the role!"
Zuko was wary of this Shui boy he had knocked into. While he was beautiful with his tan skin and icy blue eyes, he wasn't to be trusted. After all, Shui's and Huo's don't get along. So when he proposed the most preposterous thing Zuko could think of? He was reluctant to say the least.
"I don't even know your name." Zuko deadpanned. The man blinked. "The name's Sokka, pleasure to meet you." The man whose name was Sokka said with a lopsided smile as he stretched his hand out for Zuko to shake. "Zuko." Zuko took his hand. It was just as icy as his eyes.
"Now that we know each other, what do you say?" Zuko thought for a second. Should he trust this Shui boy? He decided it was worth a shot. His life was depressingly boring. "Sure." Sokka's smile was the widest Zuko had ever seen. Something told Zuko this maybe wasn't the best idea he's had.
"Ok! Give me your number so I can text you when!" They exchanged numbers and then Sokka was gone as soon as he'd appeared. Zuko wasn't sure what had just happened, but he hoped he hadn't made a mistake.Sokka
Sokka resumed what he had been trying to do before Zuko had bumped into him. Zuko was an interesting character to Sokka. Sokka had only been joking when he asked zuko to join him at the con, and was extremely surprised when he had agreed. The other thing that perplexed Sokka was the gentle way in which zuko has spoken. His voice was extremely soft, but had an air of confidence to it. Sokka admired that, as he felt his voice was too loud.
Once he made his way over to the punch bowl, he was greeted with Toph.
"Hey asslicker!" "Hello to you too Toph. Enjoying yourself?" Toph turned to the sound of his voice. Although she was blind, Toph was extremely sensitive to her other senses. The way she was able to make her foggy eyes look directly into yours had creeped Sokka out when he was younger, but he had gotten used to it.
"Not really. Aang said he had to piss and left me. He said he would come back but you know how popular he is. He'll probably never come back."
Sokka chuckled as Tophs words held truth. "Well, I'm getting punch for Katara and your more than welcome to come with me." Toph turned back towards the crowd. "Sure, but you'll have to lead me through the crowd." Sokka nodded, a gesture that was lost to Toph. He quickly realized his mistake and prodded her side with his elbow, so she could grab on to it.
The walked over to Katara, which proved to be difficult. It was hard for Sokka to get two drinks and one blind human to his destination with all of the bouncing people. Sokka understood why Toph hated parties now.
Once Katara was in sight, he let go of Toph. She could find her way to Katara by smell, as they were so close that Toph knew as soon as Katara entered the room. Katara and Toph shared an embrace.
"Hey baby," Toph jokingly said in her best manly voice, "you in need of some company?" Katara giggled. "Oh why yes," She said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "I'm in need of a big strong man like you to take me away!"
Sokka faked a gag. "Get a room ladies!" He joked. They burst into laughter.
"What took you so long bro?" Katara asked once she had recovered from their laughter fit. "You won't believe this," Sokka mused, "I actually found someone willing to be Gray!" Katara laughed. "What did you do to convince them?" Sokka looked down at his shirt guiltily, and Katara's eyes followed. Her face paled as she shrieked.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD! I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE YOU. ME AND DAD SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU NOT TO GET ANYTHING ON THAT SHIRT!" Katara was irate. "I know, I'm so sorry! Zuko bumped into me and spilled his wine on me! It was an accident, I promise!" Katara gasped. "Why in gods name were you talking to Zuko?? Of all people??" Sokka was confused. "You know him?" Katara narrowed her eyes. "You don't? People say he killed his mother!" Sokka was in disbelief. How could someone so seemingly gentle do such a thing? He looked across the party where his eyes searched. When his eyes landed on zuko, he saw him laughing, and Sokka knew that a man with that smile couldn't have done such a thing.
"You shouldn't believe every rumor you hear Katara. Right Toph?" Toph turned to him and held her hands up. "I'm not getting involved in your sibling rivalry." She said. Sokka rolled his eyes. "I talked to him Katara, he's nice." Katara looked at him, a worried expression on her face. "Seriously Katara, I'll be fine." Katara looked away.
"I hope your right."Ok another chapter down. Sorry it's short:) this will probably get no attention on Wattpad and as soon as I can I'm uploading to ao3 lol. Comments would be appreciated:)
