Katara and Sokka went to visit their mother's grave while Zuko stayed behind to tie up some loose ends with his and Hakoda's agreement. Katara told her mom about Malina, finally accepting her into her life. Sokka stood beside Katara, taking a breath, he told her about Zuko too.
When they got back, Zuko, Toph, Aang, and Katara went to make food for lunch, each deciding to cook something from their respective nations (Toph had some help of course).
Serving their dinners, the group sat down. Sokka settled down next to Zuko, holding his hand and eating with the other (it was a good thing he was ambidextrous). They chowed down on the food, Sokka not expecting Zuko's noodles to be as spicy as they were. And all was peaceful.
After dinner, Sokka helped clean up and then he went to talk to his Dad. With a little reassuring hug from Katara, he went to sit next to Hakoda.
"Hey Dad? I have to tell you something..." He spoke up softly, getting Hakoda's attention.
"Of course, what is it, Sokka?"
"I'm uh... I'm.. dating Zuko." He muttered, gesturing to the firebender across the room who was talking with Toph.
There was a pause, Sokka stared at the table, his heartbeat pounding in his ears. He wanted to break the silence but he was scared. What if things weren't the same ever again?
He was pulled into a hug, breaking his train of thought.
"That's great, Sokka! I'm happy for you," Hakoda smiled, patting his son's back. "Kind of unexpected, but nonetheless, I love you and I'm proud of you."
Sokka teared up, sobbing a little he dug his face into his Dad's shoulder.
"Thanks, Dad."

Him and Zuko went to take a little walk. They had some time to spend so they figured that they'd enjoy the landscape and finally catch up.
Zuko told him about Azula kidnapping children and Sokka talked about all the things that happened before Zuko got there.
"Sounds like we both had our fair share of excitement." Zuko chuckled, squeezing Sokka's hand.
"Yeah, you can say that again." Sokka smiled, leaning into him. "So, while we were at the jasmine dragon for a bit, I found a book..." Sokka flushed. "I'll show it to you when we get back but it got me kinda thinking..."
Zuko looked at him, utter confusion plastered all over his face.
"When we... Y'know, get "too carried away"... Are you going to be the one who...? Or am I?" He continued awkwardly.
Finally understanding the question, Zuko turned red, covering his mouth in embarrassment, he looked away before looking back to Sokka.
"I've um... I'm okay with being either! I just wanted to ask you."
"Why don't we talk about this later? After you show me the book?" Zuko offered awkwardly. "Let's just enjoy the scenery for now, okay honey?"
"Honey?" Sokka grinned.
"Yeah... Do you... Do you not like it?" Zuko uttered.
"No! I like it!" Sokka flushed again. "Is it.. a reference to the time when you wanted to join us and I said you probably covered yourself in honey?"
"So that Appa would lick me?" Zuko chuckled. "No, but if you want it to be?"
"I think it's kinda cute." Sokka grinned.
Zuko smiled back, wrapping an arm around him, they watched the sun go down, painting the sky a warm orange and pink.

Sokka pulled the book out of his bag, showing it to Zuko. He walked over to where he was sitting on the bed and sat down next to him.
Opening the book to the marked section, where he'd put in a piece of jerky as a bookmark earning a light laugh from Zuko. They both flushed at the drawings.
"O-oh, so you meant if I wanted to be like... The top or the bottom..." Zuko pointed out, his face red.
"Yeah." Sokka nodded.
"Well... Maybe this time can I be the top? And then next time we can switch it around?" Zuko offered, shrugging.
"Okay!" There was now silence. "So..." Sokka looked over at Zuko who was looking back. "Should..." He stared at Zuko's lips, thinking about that morning and also what happened in the forest.
Losing what he was going to say, he leaned in, closing the gap and finally feeling Zuko's lips on his. Warm, soft, and hungry. Pushing him down onto the bed, Zuko loomed over him.

Sokka lifted his feet off the ground and put them on the bed, opening his legs to let Zuko in between them. Pulling him closer with one arm, he trailed the other down the Firelord's torso, sliding his hand into his shirt to undo it and caress his chest. Zuko grinded his hips into Sokka's, earning a sudden moan from the water tribe boy.
Sokka wrapped his legs around Zuko's waist, pulling him in for more. Feeling his groin press against him again, both of them groaned again, Zuko using the opportunity to slip his tongue into Sokka's mouth again. Embracing the warmth of one another, they explored each other's mouths.
Pulling away, Zuko pecked Sokka's lips again before sinking down to attach to his neck. The heat of Zuko's mouth on him made Sokka shudder, sending tingles down his body and to his growing erection. Zuko sucked, grinding down harder, Sokka held him closer, moaning again.
Once again pulling back, Zuko sat up, pulling off his robes, now only wearing his pants, Sokka did the same. Returning to his work, Zuko moved down Sokka's chest and flicked a nipple with his tongue, earning a tiny yelp of surprise from his boyfriend. As he sucked on it, he trailed his hands down to the hem of Sokka's pants and pulled them down.
The sudden change in temperature on Sokka's length made him whimper a bit. Zuko edged his own pants down, exposing his as well. Sokka bit his lip. That was going in him? Subconsciously, he spread his legs wider, propping himself up on his elbows, he pulled his elastic out of his hair and let it fall. Zuko stared at him, lost in the view.
"Like what you see?" Sokka spoke up, snapping the other out of his trance.
Zuko nodded, swallowing despite his mouth suddenly being dry. "I like it very much."
Sitting Zuko down on the bed, Sokka straddled his hips. Sticking his fingers in his mouth, he coated them with saliva before moving them down to insert them. Zuko seemed a little confused at this.
"I have to prepare myself," Sokka almost whispered, focused on the sensation. "Otherwise it'll hurt."
"I'll do it." Zuko spoke up suddenly, putting his own fingers in his mouth before moving them down to replace Sokka's.
Sokka winced a little. It didn't hurt, admittedly he'd done it before because he was curious, but it felt different. Zuko twitched his finger a bit, hitting a spot and earning a small noise from Sokka. He rubbed the spot again, Sokka's legs trembled and his hips moved down.
"Think you... Might be ready now?" Zuko asked softly.
"There's one more thing we need to do," Sokka grinned, sliding his hand down Zuko's shoulder.
He took Zuko's throbbing erection and moved his hand up and down the shaft, using pre-cum as lube, he got him wet. Zuko groaned into the touch, allowing his own noises to escape, he sighed into Sokka.
Finally, they were ready.
"You're sure?" Zuko whispered hoarsely.
"I'm sure." Sokka nodded, lowering himself onto Zuko.
Adjusting to his length, Sokka felt full, the strange sensation halting his breath. Zuko on the other hand moaned, being held in tightly by Sokka's warmth.
"Can I move?" Zuko whispered, kissing Sokka's neck.
"Sl- Slowly..." Sokka replied, his legs shaking again.
Thrusting his hips into Sokka, he clutched onto the water tribe boy's back, almost losing himself in the pleasure. It didn't hurt, Sokka observed, but it did feel weird.
Zuko thrusted again but this time, he'd hit where his fingers had touched before and it suddenly felt really good.
"Mm~ right there" Sokka moaned, bucking his hips.
Zuko took the invitation to move a little faster, slamming into Sokka, both of them moaned in pleasure. Sokka moved as well, bouncing on Zuko, losing himself in the feeling.
They kissed sloppily, Sokka holding Zuko's head to his before letting him go to lean his head back. Through the pleasure, Zuko found himself get a little curious. Though it felt unbelievably good thrusting himself into Sokka, he wondered how it would feel having Sokka thrust into him.
"Touch me." Sokka commanded, breaking Zuko's train of thought.
Zuko obeyed immediately, moving his hand to stroke Sokka's member. After a few heavy strokes, Sokka's breath hitched and his walls clenched tighter around Zuko. He came.
"Can I... Inside?" Zuko breathed, holding Sokka's waist.
Sokka nodded, catching his breath as Zuko released into him. They both panted, Sokka got off Zuko, leaning in and kissing him loosely.
Both exhausted, they cleaned up a little bit before sliding under the covers and cuddling into each other.
"I love you." Sokka said softly, nestling into Zuko's chest.
"I love you too," Zuko murmured. "So much."
