I kinda made Katara homophobic. Sorry!

The next morning
Zuko POV
I wake up and check the time. The brightness of my phone basically blinded me but I saw that it said 5:43 am. I groaned, it's too early for this. I look over at Sokka who's curled up in a ball, he looked cold. Whoops, I have all the blanket. It's not a big blanket so I tuck him in, I'll just be cold. I lay back down and close my eyes but they flew open when I heard Sokka groan in his sleep. He rolled over and cuddled into my chest. We're both in our boxers. Like, I'm shirtless, he's shirtless, and neither of us are wearing pants.

My face gets flushed and I'm about to slide away from him when he comes closer. I freeze. There's no where to put my arm so I just kind of hug him. Closer to me. I fall asleep snuggling him.

8:00 am
3rd person POV
Katara bursts into Sokka's room.

"Guys! I made pancakes! Do you want any-" Katara stops in her tracks when she sees the two guys cuddling. "Sokka!! What are you doing?! That's so gay, stop it!" Katara shouts

"Hey what's going on?" Toph walked in behind Katara

"THAT! That's happening!" Katara gestured dramatically at the sleeping boys

"Oh yeah Katara, I can see what's happening, it's not like I'm blind or anything." Toph says sarcastically

"They're cuddling!" Katara raises her voice, shocked

"Yeah, what about it?" Toph questioned

"They're not gay!!" Katara screams "They can't be gay!! It's wrong!!" Katara shouts, waking up Sokka and Zuko.

"Kataraaaaaa!" Sokka complains, half asleep "Leaaaaaaveeee! We're trying to sleeeeeep!" Sokka grunts and hugs Zuko closer, completely unaware of what he was doing.

Zuko's face became hot as Katara glares daggers at him. Katara comes over and starts to drag Sokka off of Zuko. Sokka screeches in surprise.

"Katara stop it!" Toph yells

"No! This isn't right!" Katara shouts maniacally

Toph grabs Katara by her elbows and drags her into guest bedroom as Katara kicks and screams. Toph throws her on the bed and locks the door from the outside

"LET ME OUTTTT!!!" Katara shouts

Toph ignores her and says goodbye to the boys, she's going home.

Zuko POV
Sokka crawls back onto the bed and just sits there. A couple minutes pass and Toph comes in.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go. Sorry about Katara." Toph apologizes

"Thanks." Sokka says quietly

As soon as Toph leaves, I hear Sokka sniffle. I look over at him and he starts crying harder. What do I do what do I do what do I doooooooo?! I put my hand on his shoulder and when he looks at me, I give him a sad smile. He looks back down. I pull him onto my lap and hug him close to my chest. I rub his arm as he sobs.

"W-why doesn't she l-love me?" Sokka hiccups

How the fuck am I supposed to answer that?!

"Sokka, look. This is going to sound mean but there's people out in the world like that. There's nothing you can do about it, you kind of just have to have thick skin and try to ignore it as best you can. She loves you Sokka, no matter what. That's what family is for but if she can't accept you, that's her problem. There's nothing wrong with being gay." I tell him softly

"I'm not gay." Sokka says quietly

"Oh- uh. Then you could tell her that if you want to." I say awkwardly

Sokka looks up at me. We stare into each other's eyes for awhile until Sokka reaches up and gives me a soft kiss. I pull back.

"I thought you said-"

"I lied."

This is absolute garbage.
