- Lovers in a Dangerous Time -

As the door shut behind him, Sokka started having second thoughts. They were vanished as Zuko pressed him against the door. Their bodies coming together like drops of water.

"May I continue were I left off?' Zuko said leaning into the other boy.

Emboldened by the way Zuko was looking at him, Sokka gave the prince a smirk. "Please do."

The Fire Nation warrior gave Sokka a sexy grin and laced his fingers in with the other. It was only a brush of lips at first. When Sokka's eyes slid shut and he leaned forward for more, Zuko longed for a deeper kiss.

The prince nipped and nibbled Sokka's lower lip in an attempt to get him to open his mouth.

Sokka gasped at the sensual heat radiating off the other boy. When Zuko was presented with an opportunity he took it and that was exactly what he did to Sokka's mouth.

The Water Tribe boy now knew where that pesky powder keg went to. Lights exploded behind his eyes. He couldn't breath. This was truly fantastic He untwined his fingers from Zuko's and wrapped his arms around the other boys neck, pulling him into a deeper kiss.

Zuko liked were this was going. He put his arms around Sokka's waist puling them flush. Sokka's inexperienced mouth fumbled against Zuko's. His enthusiasm was what excited the prince the most. True the Fire Bender was as inexperienced as his counter part but he was able to fake a certain savvy-ness that Sokka just couldn't pull off.

The boys parted so as to catch their breath. Zuko rested his forehead against the other boy's. "I will not press you to do anything you don't want to. Tell me when you've had enough."

Sokka placed a tentative kiss on the side of the prince's neck, then on his adams apple. The Water Tribe boy took Zuko's head in his hands and kissed the prominent chin. He placed his lips a hairs width from the other boy's and whispered "More."

In an instant, Zuko crushed their lips together, kissing Sokka passionately.

Sokka broke away panting. "Off, I want these clothes off."

"Impatient aren't we?" Zuko chuckled working on getting Sokka's belt loose.

The Water Tribe boy placed fumbling kisses on his prince's neck and slid his hand down to rest on Zuko's butt. "Like you're not as eager for this as I am."

"True enough." Zuko mumbled. He had been more successful with undressing Sokka than the other was at undressing him.

The boy's shirt now lay forgotten on the floor while Zuko had only lost his belt. Zuko decided the moonlight streaming through the small window was not sufficient light to worship such a lovely body. Taking a small breath he extended his hand toward the candles on the table. Exhaling a hot breath against Sokka's neck four flickering lights sprung to life upon the wicks.

"Zuko..." Sokka's voice suddenly sounded worried.

The prince smiled up at his peasant. "Maybe it's my ego talking but I love it when you say my name."

The Water Tribe boy looked away. "Put out those candles, Zuko."

"Absolutely not." Zuko answered. "I want to see every inch of you." The prince slid his hand into Sokka's loosened gi and groped his smooth behind. He rocked against the other boy so he could feel his hardness. "Every hard, long inch of you." he whispered seductively.

The warrior whimpered. He loved everything Zuko was doing but he just couldn't squelch his feelings of inadequacy. "Please, put out the candles Zuko. I can't- I mean- It's just too bright. Please?"

Before Zuko's heart could interpret Sokka's words, his mind jumped to conclusions. "It's because of this, isn't it?" He touched his scar then pulled his hand away as if repulsed. "I should have known no one would wish to be intimate with anyone as disfigured as I am." He started to pull away but Sokka's hand on his arm stopped him.

"Who told you that you were disfigured?" Sokka asked "I only wanted you to turn out the light 'cause-" He paused, his face flushing in embarrassment. "I thought if you saw me naked you wouldn't want me."

The prince gathered the peasant boy into his arms. "I want you so badly I ache for you. I want you Sokka. Tell me what you want."

Sokka let out a shuddering breath. "You." he whispered.

The prince removed his shirt, never letting his hands leave his prize at the same time. "I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. You wouldn't have any doubts then." Zuko kissed the other boy soundly. "Maybe one day I'll be able to see myself through your eyes. Then I'll understand why you would want to lay hands on me."

"Stop talking like that..." Sokka had more to say but it was cut off when Zuko found a sensitive point behind the other boy's ear. "Oh!... Zuko! Please..."

"Please what?" the prince asked, latching on to Sokka's neck just above his choker. He listened to the darker boy moan before he raised a dark red mark on the bronze skin. "What do you want me to do to you?" He pushed Sokka against the wall asserting his authority over the boy.

Sokka shook his head. "I don't know. I've never done this before."

The prince shot his soon to be lover a smirk. "Don't worry-"

Sokka cut him off. "Let me guess, You have, right?"

Zuko just smirked wider. Of course he was lying to Sokka, he had only the faintest idea of what to do. He knew that some men on the ship had taken male lovers and had eavesdropped on their conversations, mostly out of curiosity. In the Fire Nation culture it was normal for a young warrior to take a male lover during long stays away from home. They were expected to settle down with a women so as to produce children later in life but having a male lover on the side was not unheard of. It was rather common. Zuko's father not only had several female concubines, but some males in his harem as well.

Zuko decided it was all very logical. He was a boy and so was Sokka, so Sokka should like the same things he liked. No need to panic his lover by informing him of his inexperience. Zuko was sure the knowledge he'd stealthily acquired, along with his own instincts, would serve him well enough.

He returned to suckling on Sokka's neck, much to the other boys delight. Just as he had raised another red mark on the other side of Sokka's neck, Zuko's fingers absentmindedly ran over one of his partners nipples. Sokka's breath hitched and a whimper escaped his lips. The prince picked up on this and slowly kissed down to the delicate nub of flesh and nerves. He kissed the flesh then took the nipple into his mouth.

"Hot!" Sokka gasped in pleasure. He arched his back trying to press that wonderful mouth tighter to his body. "I should have known your mouth would be hot." Sokka grumbled between gasps.

Zuko pulled away from his little feast. "If your complaining about my body temperature I can stop now and you can handle this," Zuko groped Sokka's erection through his pants. "By yourself."

"No complaints here!" the warrior said hurriedly. "This is just so new to me. I never knew I could feel like this."

Zuko had returned to the nipple he'd been mouthing earlier, one of his hands still groping Sokka while the other played with the twin to the nipple in his mouth.

A thought popped into Zuko's head. He had heard the other men on the ship talk about performing a certain act on a bed partner who had been rather keen to try it since he heard about it. Well, this was his golden opportunity to see if he would like this act.

As the nipple play carried on the prince was working at getting Sokka's pants off. Once the garment had pooled around the other boys ankles Zuko began planting kisses down his partners sternum. He stopped momentarily on his trip down to let his tongue explore the indent of Sokka's navel.

"What are you doing to me?" Sokka gasped. One of his hands sought futilely for a hand hold against the hard steel of the cabin's wall, the other rested on Zuko's strong shoulder. He gripped the flesh as the prince ran his tongue down that little trail of hair leading from his naval to his cock.

Zuko rested his weight on his knees, while his hands chose to explore those full ass cheeks. The fire Nation prince nipped at the Water Tribe warriors hip. Zuko was stunned at how erotic this was for him. Sokka had hardly touched him. He nuzzled the standing boy's pubic bone and took a deep breath taking in all the sweet smells that made up Sokka imbedded in the mound of tightly curled hairs. "By the Goddess, you smell like desire itself." Zuko breathed, mouthing the base of Sokka's member. Zuko wrapped a sword callused hand around the base. He was surprised that his partners penis felt different from his own. He looked at Sokka's naked visage for the first time. The other boys penis had more skin on it. Zuko couldn't believe it hadn't occurred to him that the Water Tribe wouldn't have the same rituals as the Fire Nation when it came to new born sons.

To acknowledge manhood and the eternal union with fire from birth, a ceremony was performed where the excess skin was cut from the penis and thrown into the sacred fire. Of course the Water Tribe did nothing like this.

Yet as Zuko stroked his hand up and down Sokka's cock and watched the foreskin move with his hand, the prince found it a great turn on. He pulled the skin back completely to reveal the smooth shining knob. The prince watch as a pearl of pre-cum wept from the tear shaped slit and slid down the shaft. Zuko HAD to have it. He had to know what his lover tasted like. His tongue slid out and captured the drop, tracing its path back up to the head.

Sokka let out a wail of ecstasy, his knees nearly buckling due to the pleasure.

"Mmm... I'm supprised by how good you taste." The prince looked up at the peasant. The strained look on his lovers face told him they were going to have to change positions before moving on.

Zuko slowly made his way to his feet. He removed the rest of his clothing as he placed kisses along Sokka's collarbone. Then he placed a passionate kiss on Sokka's lips.

When they parted to breath Sokka mumbled against Zuko's slightly parted mouth. "Why'd you stop?"

Zuko smiled at his lover. "I thought you were going to pass out and I wanted you to see just how lucky you are to have me as a lover." The prince ground his erection into the warriors.

Sokka let out a gasp. "Egotistical jerk." he growled playfully once he caught his breath.

"Wait here." the Fire Bender said taking one more kiss from the other.

Quickly Zuko pulled the curtain back from the closet that held their bedding. The futons were placed one on top of the other while the blankets and pillows were tossed to the side.

The prince climbed on to the mattresses and leaned back on his heels. "Come to me." he ordered while throwing his lover a titillating look.

A blush covered the peasant's face. Sokka slowly made his way over to the prince, he crawled onto the bedding and as soon as he was in reaching distance, Zuko crushed their bodies together and took Sokka's mouth.

Sokka couldn't wait any longer. His cock wanted some form of friction and it wanted it NOW. He wrapped his arms around Zuko's neck and straddled his thigh. The warrior began rubbing against the prince. The Water Tribe teen made needy little whimpers into Zuko's mouth and sped up his movements as his need grew.

Zuko broke the kiss, gasping for breath. He had one arm wrapped around Sokka's upper back while his other hand clutched a firm buttock. "As good as this is, may I return to what I was doing before? "he asked the boy in his arms.

"You better or I'll kill you." Sokka moaned still grinding against Zuko, totally lost to the rest of the world.

The prince kissed the warrior's neck. "Now that's the Sokka I know." He raised another red mark on the boy's neck then whispered "Touch me."

Sokka buried his panting face in Zuko's neck. "I don't know how."

"Just touch me like you touch yourself." Zuko smiled to himself. "I've heard you those nights when you thought I was asleep. You sounded like you know how to handle your own body."

Sokka scowled at his lover and blushed an even brighter red. "Just because I don't have ice water running through my veins like you doesn't mean you can tease me."

The prince rubbed himself firmly against Sokka. "Dose this feel like ice to you?"

Sokka gasped, "Defiantly not! Fine. I'll try but you have to promise not to laugh if I screw up."

"You won't screw up." Zuko whispered against Sokka's lips. "And I promise I won't laugh if you do."

The prince captured the other boy's lips in a slow and scorching kiss. When they parted for air Sokka attacked Zuko's neck. He found a very sensitive spot around Zuko's collar bone and, at the usually stoic prince's gasp, ravished that spot while letting his hands wander down that strongly built torso till he met a small nest of short black hairs.

Sokka was surprised to find when he took Zuko's cock into his hand, that it felt very natural. He began to stroke slowly.

"Oh yes." Zuko moaned, one hand was working on pulling Sokka's hair down while the other clutched a bronze shoulder.

The Water Tribe boy found that the prince had very sensitive nipples when his lips brushed against one during his exploration. He was currently causing Zuko to moan and gasp as he sucked the hard nub.

Zuko couldn't stand it anymore. "Stop Sokka! I'm going to finish to soon if you keep doing that."

Sokka gave his lover a purely predatory look. "What if I don't wanna stop?"

After regaining some of his composure, The prince began to run his fingers through Sokka's recently liberated hair, pulling his lips closer to his own in the process. "You mean your not feeling needy at all my warrior?" Zuko's voice was a seductive purr as his golden eyes formed a perfect smoldering look that Sokka swore was burning into his very soul.

He released Zuko's member and slipped his hands up till they were wrapped around his lovers neck. "I-I want your mouth."

The smirk that spread across Zuko's face was both seductive and sly. "What, pray tell, do you want my mouth to do?"

"Touch me." Sokka's voice was almost pleading.

Kisses were placed down a dark throat. "Here? Is this were you want my mouth to touch you?" the prince said between kisses.

The warrior groaned. "Damn it, Zuko! You know what I want!"

"I know" Zuko said smiling against Sokka's neck. "but I want to hear you say it."

"Zuko!" the peasant cried as his prince clutched a taunt buttock and ground their pricks together.

"Say it, Sokka." the prince commanded, "Please." he added in a whisper.

Sokka pressed his forehead to Zuko's shoulder, panting and sweating. Zuko's skin was so scorchingly hot yet he was not sweating like Sokka was. The Water Tribe boy surmised that this was a Fire Nation trait. He placed his lips close to his lover's misshapen ear and whispered. "I want your mouth on my cock. I want you to suck me till I come."

The Fire Bender chuckled. "You sound so sexy when you speak like that. Lay back."

Sokka initiated a kiss for the first time since the foreplay began. Zuko had felt something different in that kiss. His warrior was finally letting go of the ridiculous prejudices his tribe had pressed upon him. The prince watched with heightening excitement as Sokka laid himself back on the bed.

Poor Sokka was trying his best to give Zuko a sexy look but he knew he was blushing rather brightly. He arched slightly as he ran his hand down his sternum, deliberately avoiding his dripping erection and sliding the digits and palm down the inside of his soft thigh. His other hand gripped the futon beneath him.

In a moment Zuko was on him, kissing down Sokka's throat and chest, paying homage with lips and tongue till he came to the rigid member which had been his goal all along.

The prince's analytical mind decided Sokka was about eight inches long and an inch and a half thick. Zuko smirked as he lapped at the base. What a beautiful gift to present to a prince. he thought, considering the moans his bed partner emitted to be a present unto themselves. Though his member is of ample size, I am longer by an inch and thicker by a half inch.

With that the prince took the boy's cock into his mouth. Just the head at first, his hand pulling the foreskin back so he could truly gain a taste of Sokka's flesh and pre-cum.

"Yesssssssss- uh!" Sokka hissed in appreciation then grunted as he fought the urge to pump his hips into that moist hot cavern.

The prince's head bobbed slowly up and down the shaft. Though this was his first time having a cock in his mouth, the prince was doing admirably. He did not attempt to push his limitations for he knew, if he gagged himself by accident that would kill the moment. As his mouth slid down, taking about half the shaft inside, he slid his hand up from the base.

Sokka panted heavily. He was so close to climax already. The boy was utterly embarrassed that his control was not like his companions. Yet Zuko was so good at what he was doing. How could he not be driven so close to the edge so quickly? A thought drifted into Sokka's head and for some reason it disturbed him to his very core. I wonder how many lovers Zuko's had to get this good? Sokka thought. To his surprise he was very jealous. While Zuko was going to be his first lover, he could never be Zuko's. He wanted to share this experience with the prince.

The Water Tribe warrior was pulled from his reverie when Zuko dug his tongue into the tiny slit in the head of his penis. He let out a wail of pleasure and arched up on the bed. when he regained his sanity he looked down to see Zuko idly stroking his shaft and kissing the cock-head.

"You stopped making those needy little whimpers I like." said the prince with a smirk. "I was afraid your mind was wandering."

Sokka shook his head to clear the fog that had drifted over his brain. "Sorry, I was thinking." he panted, trying to catch his breath.

"You choose a moment like this to think? Tonight must be a night of many firsts for you." the prince joked, his smirk spreading even wider.

In that moment Sokka was very tempted to kick at the prince. "Hey! I was worried I was going to finish too quickly."

"That's what I want you to do." Zuko said mouthing the shaft of the cock in his hand. "I want you to come in my mouth. I want to taste the very essence that is you. Take part of you inside me. Come for me Sokka, please." With that the prince went down hard and fast.

Sokka's head flew back. One hand found purchase at the nape of Zuko's neck, the other grabbed the prince's wrist were he was holding his warriors hips still. His back arched off the futon as he let out a deep groan. "Ooh-ah! Zuko! So good! Yes!"

The Fire Nation warrior smiled around his rigid mouthful. The sounds the Water Tribe boy was making were wonderful but Zuko wanted the whole ship to hear. He began to center his core heat to his mouth and loosened his grip on Sokka's hips.

The boy could not believe the moist heavenly suction around his cock could get any better but suddenly it was an inferno. He found he could pump his hips into that exquisite cavern.

Concentrating on keeping the muscles in his throat loose, Zuko allowed Sokka to move as he pleased. The prince swallowed around the head of the other boys cock, causing Sokka's voice to reach a new and interesting pitch.

The thrusting became more erratic from Sokka as he approached climax. Sokka looked down at his lover. The sight of his cock sliding between the prince's lips and those smoldering amber colored eyes watching him intently nearly drove him over the edge.

Zuko couldn't wait any longer. He wanted Sokka to fill his mouth with creamy seed and he wanted it now. With one hand he reached for his partners nipple, he squeezed and twisted the hard nub of flesh.

Sokka screamed and his hips thrust faster against Zuko's face. Sokka let go of the prince's wrist and gripped his strong shoulder. "Oh spirits! Yes! I'm so close!!

The ache between the prince's thighs could not be held off much longer. Zuko reached for his cock with his unoccupied hand. He stroked his full shaft and groaned around the cock now occupying his mouth and throat.

Sokka screamed.

"I'm coming!!! Oh Zuko!! Aah! I'm coming!!!!"

The prince braced himself to receive what the warrior had to give him. He was somewhat surprised at how Sokka's essence tasted. It was salty like the sea, Sokka's smell was similar, clean and pure like ice. An addiction was inevitable.

Sokka collapsed on the bed boneless. He was absolutely sure Zuko had fried what brain cells he had left. He closed his eyes for a moment and focused on getting his breathing under control. It was fruitless for Zuko chose that moment to kiss him gently yet passionately on the lips.

The combined tastes of himself and Zuko exploded across his tongue and caused Sokka to feel some what dizzy. "Wow." was all he was able to breath when the prince released his mouth.

A large smile spread across Zuko's face as he hovered over his bed partner. "I must be pretty good if all YOU can say is 'wow'."

Sokka didn't respond verbally. He pulled Zuko down into a searing kiss and slid his thigh into the hallow of his lovers pelvis, encountering the hard flesh there. "You didn't come," he breathed across soft moist lips. "What should I do?"

Zuko ran his hand down Sokka's thigh to one warm soft ass cheek. "I don't know if you'll let me." He whispered running his hand back up to behind Sokka's knee. The prince hooked Sokka's leg over his hip and then allowed his hand a return trip to the soft flesh of Sokka's bottom. Zuko's finger slid between the two globes and rubbed the puckered flesh of his lovers secret entrance. "I want to be inside you. I want us to come together as one being, even if it's only for a moment." He nipped the ear he was whispering into. "But I'll only do this if you tell me it is all right. I wont do anything you don't want to."

Sokka worried his lower lip between his teeth. "Will it hurt?"

"A little but I'll be gentle" He caressed Sokka's face in a loving gesture. Zuko surprised himself with his gentleness.

"I want it then..." Sokka answered setting his jaw and bracing himself, his eyes squeezed shut.

The laughter of the prince caused Sokka's eyes to pop open and shoot Zuko his patented "What'd I miss?" look.

"I'm not jut gonna shove it in, you idiot." the prince laughed. "That would hurt both of us."

Zuko reluctantly uncoiled himself from his bed mate. He walked across the room and opened a drawer. He removed a small bottle of oil. "We'll use this. Uncle gave it to me for sore muscles. The scent of the herbs is supposed to be calming. I prefer my guard to be up so I dislike the relaxing effects of the oil but I think it will aid us well tonight." He pulled the cork and handed the bottle to Sokka. "What do you think?"

The Water Tribe warrior was already getting aroused again from watching Zuko saunter around the room naked and aroused himself. When he smelled the oil he knew this would be his new favorite fragrance. True the herbs were calming, reminding him of home remedies of his village, yet knowing what the oil would be used for added a certain decadence to the rich earthy smell of the herbs. Sokka locked Zuko in with his silver-blue gaze. "I want you... come to me, my prince."

Zuko's breathing almost stopped. He had stumbled across quite the bed mate. One moment blushing and moaning softly like the virgin he was and the next writhing on the bed like a courtesan. He could fulfill every fantasy his partner had in just a few moments. He took the oil from Sokka and nestled himself between his lovers thighs once again. He kissed the water tribe warrior hard and deep. "Tell me if I hurt you." He commanded before sliding down the other boys body.

Zuko dipped his fingers into the oil and coated them with oil. Gently he hooked Sokka's leg over his shoulder. A long middle finger rubbed against Sokka's opening before gently easing it in.

The Water Tribe warrior gasped.

"Are you hurt?" Zuko asked.

"No" Sokka panted. "It just feels weird."

Zuko continued moving his finger within his partner. "Relax. It'll be easier that way."

"Easy for you to say." the Water Tribe boy answered trying to concentrate on anything but the odd feeling of fullness coming from his lower orifice. Sokka failed miserably.

Zuko was feeling rather frustrated. He knew how to prepare a male lover but not how to calm a virgin male lover. The men he had heard talking had long term committed lovers and many years had passed since they were in the awkward situation of their first sexual encounter.

A thought acured to Zuko that a month ago, had he been in the same situation with Sokka, a month ago he wouldn't have cared so much about the others well being. What had changed so much that the prince wished for his fellow warriors enjoyment rather than just taking his pleasure from the boy's body? It was inconsequential at the moment. Zuko knew that he must distract his lover from the loss of his virginity.

Removing his fingers from Sokka, Zuko spilled oil into his other hand (and the futon). After slowly pushing his finger back into the constricting heat, he began rubbing the juncture between the darker boys hip and thigh with his oiled hand. "I suppose I will have to help you relax then." The prince slowly worked his hand to the stiff cock. He ran his hand his slick palm up and down the shaft, leaving the head free of oil. "The penetration must not be so bad, seeing how hard you are for me."

Sokka could only gasp. This was defiantly a great distraction. When Zuko began mouthing the tip, Sokka yelped and every muscle in his body turned to jelly.

Thank the goddess it worked! Zuko thought as he felt the tight ring of muscle loosen for him. He slowly and carefully eased a second finger into Sokka's ass. he was greeted with a quiet whimper and a reflexive tightening of the muscles he was so meticulously seeking to loosen. As his fingers began their slow in and out movement, the muscles loosened again.

Zuko decided to enjoy himself now. He pulled the foreskin all the way back and lost himself in the taste and texture of Sokka's cock head. The fingers within the Water Tribe boys tight entrance crooked and touched something deep inside.

White light shot across Sokka's vision and he arched almost completely off the bed. "Spirits!! Oh spirits above!!!" He screamed then groaned and writhed as he tried to force Zuko's fingers back to that heavenly spot.

The prince didn't know what to think. He had been startled when Sokka screamed, sure he had inadvertently harmed his bed mate. Now that he saw the other boy writhing and moaning in such a wanton manor he knew it was not pain Sokka was feeling.

Silver eyes met gold. "Why'd you stop?" Sokka panted, a hint of desperation in his voice. "Touch me, again! Please!"

Zuko experimentally crooked his fingers and added more pressure. When he was greeted with the same reaction as earlier, a sly smirk spread across his face. The prince continued to finger the warrior and exploit his hidden pleasure center for all it was worth. He crawled up Sokka's body, leaving kisses in his wake, till he met plump panting lips. "Tell me what you want." he whispered so close to those tantalizing lips.


With Zuko now leaning over Sokka, and with the Water Tribe boy's leg still over Zuko's shoulder, the prince's fingers could now penetrate deeper into the other boy's ass. Zuko stroked Sokka's sweet spot one last time then stilled all movement till he got his answer.

Once Sokka got his breath back he answered. "I want you inside me! Fuck me, Zuko!"

"Mmm... so my do-gooder warrior can swear." the prince mumbled into his lover's ear then began nibbling on the lobe.

"Damn it, Zuko!! Stop teasing me." Sokka whined. Shifting his hips, he began fucking himself on the fingers still deep inside him. "Ahh... Yes! Oh! Yes!!" he groaned when the fingers finally touched where he truly needed them. Then whined piteously when the fingers were removed.

The Water Tribe boy was about to make quite the protest when he looked at Zuko. The prince was slowly rubbing oil onto his hard cock with slow measured strokes.

He looked back at his lover and smiled. "I can't wait any longer."

Sokka grinned widely and then raised his arms above his head in an inviting gesture. "Neither can I"

The prince leaned forward, after making sure that Sokka's leg was securely over his shoulder. He placed one hand next to his lover ribs and with the other hand he used to help guide his cock into Sokka.

"Breath for me." Zuko whispered.

The seductive look fell from Sokka's face. "Huh?"

"Like what I showed you for meditation. It will help you stay relaxed when I penetrate you. I'll do it with you. Breath in, hold, breath out." The prince had never used such a soothing voice with anyone but he knew that keeping the Water Tribe boy calm and relaxed would be the only way for them to know the pleasure of their coupling. "You're doing well Sokka. Keep going."

In, hold, out. In, hold, out. His concentration never even faltered when he felt the blunt head of Zuko's cock rub against his opening. Then the prince added a bit more pressure. He entered Sokka with an inch of his manhood yet could scarcely believe that such pleasurable heat and tightness could be found in another human's body.

When Zuko felt Sokka's hitch in his chest and his meditative breathing falter he began to worry. "Keep breathing." he groaned, trying to keep himself from either forcing himself deeper into the boy beneath him, or coming that very second.

Sokka gasped. "It stings a little. Don't stop. I can do this."

"Breath with me again." Zuko commanded. "It will help if you trust me."

Their eyes locked and for a moment they both felt that this was were they were meant to be, who they were supposed to be with. Perfection in the arms of another.

"I trust you." Sokka whispered then kissed Zuko's forehead gently. He laid back on the bed and closed his eyes concentrating on his breathing.

Zuko looked away. No one had ever trusted him with something so precious before. His eyes stung with tears he refused to shed. Then he returned to the task at hand.

When their breathing was unified, Zuko felt the ring of muscle loosen and he slowly slid the rest of his cock inside.

When Zuko felt his hips bump against Sokka's ass. He removed his hand from the base of his cock and removed the other boys leg from over his shoulder, laying it softly on the bed. He then rested his forearms on either side of the warriors head. Zuko worked his hips experimentally. He was treated with a gasp and whimper from the boy impaled on his cock.

"I'm all the way inside you. How dose it feel?" the prince asked. For once it was hard to read Sokka's face because his eyes were squeezed shut.

Two deep panting breaths left the dark boys lips before he answered. "I feel full, like I'm about to burst. It's so hot! Ah! But it's good... So good." he moaned.

That was Zuko's cue. If it felt good now it would feel incredible once he began moving. The prince pulled slowly and carefully out about half way then slid back in.

Both boys moaned at the sensation. Sokka's hands flew up and grabbed hold of Zuko's shoulders as the Fire Nation prince repeated the tentative action.

"Ah! Zuko!" Sokka breathed out as he leaned his head back. "Kiss me. Please, kiss me."

The prince stopped his movement. "Am I hurting you? Was I too rough?"

"No. I just want a kiss." Sokka opened pleading eyes and looked up at his lover.

With slow thrusts the prince began anew. "I promise I will be more careful this time."

"Spirits curse you, Zuko!!" Sokka growled through gritted teeth. "Stop treating me like some fragile maiden from your court! I am a warrior! You treat me with a warrior's respect in everything else we do! I want to be treated like a warrior now! Fuck me like a warrior!." He thrust his hips up, impaling himself on Zuko's cock. he moaned his pleasure as the prince groaned a concurrence. "Now, kiss me, you big jerk!!!"

The thought that Sokka had been the world's most perfect concubine in a past life flashed through Zuko's brain. All thought vanished from the prince's mind when he pressed his lips to the boy's beneath him and his hips thrust a hard fast beat against Sokka's ass. He pulled meer inches away from the peasants lips to catch his breath. "I'll show you how a prince beds his warriors."

Zuko slid his nimble hands underneath his lover's shoulders and held them fast. This braced Sokka against his thrusts as the prince shifted his weight to his knees.

"Ah! YES! Spirits, Zuko! Yes! Fuck me! Fuck me!!" Sokka cried. He shrieked when Zuko's cock touched that place deep inside him. "Unnn-h!! Harder! Please Zuko! Harder, Faster!!"

The prince grunted appreciatively as he did Sokka's bidding. He kissed and suckled the Water Tribe boy's neck. He was in rapture! How could another person make him feel this way?

Sokka's arms wrapped around Zuko's neck, pulling him tighter to him. He was going to come soon but still needed more stimulation to reach what was so close, yet just out of reach. His legs wrapped around Zuko's slim waist changing the angle in which the prince was entering him. The tender, electrifying spot inside him was now being hammered mercilessly. Sokka began panting the prince's name like a religious chant.

One of Zuko's hands vacated the brace of Sokka's shoulder, choosing instead to slide between their two bodies and rubbed his lover over the edge to climax.

It was all Sokka needed. "YES!! ZUKO!!!!" he screamed as he felt the greatest release of his young life.

With his bed partner taken care of, Zuko thrust madly into Sokka. He closed his eyes. The picture of the Water Tribe boy's face in orgasm was burned into the back of his eyelids. The blush of his cheeks the sweat of his brow, beautiful.

A soft touch rested upon the prince's cheek. He opened his eyes to look down into Sokka's sated face as the other boy brought Zuko's face closer to his own.

"Come for me. Come inside me." the warrior whispered against Zuko's lips then kissed him deeply.

The kiss caused Zuko to crest over into his release and moan into Sokka's mouth. He pulled away gasping for breath. "Sokka!" he groaned then growled at the end of his orgasm. He collapsed upon his lover, panting.

Sokka groaned and wheezed. "Your heavy." he said, but he still clutched Zuko.

The prince rolled over. The sweat on his back made the cloth cover of the futon stick lightly to his flesh. He closed his eyes but reached for his lovers hand. "Wonderful." he breathed once he felt his partners flesh. Still hot and sticky from their tryst.

"Once again, wow." the talkative boy stated. "I mean... wow."

Zuko chuckled and twined his fingers in with Sokka's. He brought the bronzed hand to his mouth giving each knuckle a kiss.

Slowly, the hand was slipped from the prince's grasp. He looked up, surprised to see Sokka getting out of bed, though for a moment it looked as though his feet would not stay beneath him. "Where are you going?"

The boy looked over his shoulder at his lover. "I'm exhausted but I'm not going to sleep with this sticky stuff on me. It's already drying and it itches." Sokka disappeared into the small bathroom joined to Zuko's cabin.

For some reason it was upsetting to Zuko that Sokka didn't seem to want to lay in bed with him. well, what did you expect? The rational part of his brain asked. That he would fall madly in love with you after you bedded him and he would never wish to leave your side? Those sort of happy endings are reserved for children's fairy tales, not a deformed prince. It's not as if you really love him anyway, is it? But the prince didn't know if he wanted to answer that last question.

Though he knew he should at least grab a blanket to cover himself, Zuko rested on the bed. His hands were folded behind his head as a makeshift pillow. His body was tired but still hummed with the last glowing embers of ecstasy. The prince's thoughts slowly turned back to the other boy in the bathroom. Zuko began to drift off to sleep. He dozed for a minute or two, then was woken abruptly by a warm wetness on his belly.

"Get back!" he yelled jumping up. He was greeted by a startled looking Sokka holding a wet cloth.

"Sorry." the warrior said quietly. "I thought you were awake, just resting your eyes or something. I got that stuff off me so I thought I'd clean you up, too."

Zuko smiled a little. He sat down next to the boy. "Don't apologize. Just warn me next time."

"All right... Should I.... finish?" Sokka asked cautiously.

The prince leaned back on the heels of his hands and leered seductively at his lover. "Please, Don't let me stop you." he purred.

Sokka gave Zuko a pouting look but resumed his cleaning of the prince's abdomen. "Now, don't start that. I'm too tired to do anything else." He was blushing again. Mostly from the fact that he was coming to the prince's more intimate areas.

Zuko took the cloth from his companion and washed himself off quickly, trying to diffuse an embarrassing situation for Sokka. He then returned the cloth to the darker boy. "I am tired also. You go rinse that out and put it with the dirty clothes. I'll get our bed ready." The prince said before stealing a kiss, he then started working on flipping the futons over. He knew he didn't want to sleep where he had spilled the oil and he had a feeling neither would his lover. He'd have one of the crew men clean his bedding in the morning. He tossed the pillows at the top of the bed and pulled the blankets on.

"We're gonna sleep in the same bed?" Sokka asked from behind him. The prince turned to see the Water Tribe boy looking flustered and a little worried.

"It's normal for lovers to sleep in the same bed in the Fire Nation. Is it not the same in the Water Tribe?" Zuko commented, nonchalantly sliding under the blankets on his side of the bed.

"Yeah, It's the same. It's just that two boys aren't usually lovers." Sokka answered fidgeting and trying to cover himself.

Zuko smirked to himself. "Well, if you don't want to sleep beside me, on the comfortable bed with the soft pillows and blankets, that's fine. You can sleep on the cold, hard floor." With that Zuko rolled over and snuggled securely under the covers. "Sleep well."

Sokka looked bewildered. He wasn't sure if Zuko was serious or if he was actually making a joke.

Zuko closed his eyes and counted to ten. Be fore he was finished counting, he felt the blanket on the other side of the bed lift up and the other boys body settle onto the futon beside him. He smiled widely and breathed a sigh of relief. The prince slowly started to doze.

Yet sleep never came for the young monarch. Every time he began to enter the realm of slumber, his squirming lover would shift around, causing movement of the sheets and mattress,

"Will you stop that!" he finally yelled at his lover. Zuko tossed an annoyed glare over his shoulder.

Sokka glared right back. "Listen, Mr. Prince of the Universe, I'm still not use to sleeping like this. I usually sleep in a sleeping bag, so since I've been here I've been wrapping myself in my blankets. I like the feeling of being wrapped in something. It feels secure. So... just go to sleep you big jerk." He flopped down on the bed with his back to Zuko.

The prince felt bad about yelling at the warrior. He had forgotten that Sokka had a certain way of doing things before he was captured and forced to live here.

Hoping to make amends, Zuko pushed his pillow next to Sokka's and fit his body behind his lover's. With loving arms he pulled Sokka into a tight embrace.

"W-what are you doing?" The warrior's body tensed at the touch of Zuko's naked flesh against his.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you." Zuko whispered in his ear. "Does this help any?"

Sokka slowly relaxed against his princely bed partner. "Yeah. It feels good."

"Mmm... good. Sleep well." Zuko was falling asleep quickly. He was able to hang on to conscienceness long enough to hug Sokka closer still and lay a kiss on one dark shoulder.

The Water Tribe boy could not believe how comforting the heat of the other boy's body was. He felt safe and cared for. Zuko's breathing was putting him to sleep. Sokka turned in the prince's arms, so they were now face to face. He was beautiful in sleep. The scared eye was hidden in the pillow. All the worry lines that marred the elegant face by day were gone. Zuko was breath taking to Sokka in that moment.

The warrior couldn't help himself. He leaned up and placed a soft kiss on the prince's lips. "Sleep well." he whispered, then nestled himself in Zuko's strong arms and fell asleep.

Thank Yous!!!!!!!!!!

MeLaiya - Than you soooo much! This is one of my favorite reviews. I see what your saying and after this chapter I do not refer to Sokka as "Peasant". Originally this fic was going to be a comparison piece between Sokka and Zuko... then turned into a multy-chaptered monster of a smut fic. I, in no way, meant to sound like I thought Sokka was only a peasant and nothing more. He's actually my favorite character. I promise to cut down on the peasant stuff! Scouts honor.

Tesgura - I'm glad you liked it. You'll have to wait for later chapters to have your questions answered though :P.

Justin - YAY!! I'm especially glad that you like this... You were my first fan!! LOL! I know that the sex in this chapter was pretty vanilla and average but you can't start with the kinky stuff your first time!!! I promise the sex will get kinkier as the story unfolds!!
