- Lovers in a Dangerous Time -

It took the prince a moment to figure out what was different about waking up the next morning.

Sokka had his head nestled under Zuko's chin and was snoring gently against the prince's collar bone. Zuko smiled. He hadn't felt this well rested since before his mother had disappeared. He wanted to lay in bed with Sokka all day. The prince knew this was not possible. For one thing his bladder was alerting him that he should go to the bathroom very soon.

The prince slowly and delicately extracted himself from his lover then rushed to the lavatory.

When he returned Sokka was curled into a ball like a cat trying to conserve its own heat. Zuko surmised that the bed was much colder without him in it. Far be it for the Fire Nation prince to leave his sweet lover cold and alone. With in a moment, Zuko was back in the bed and cautiously trying to pull Sokka into his arms.

"Zuko? Was amatta?" Sokka mumbled more asleep than awake.

"Shh. Go back to sleep." Zuko whispered.

Sokka hummed his agreement and was unconscious again in a matter of moments.

A thought that had made itself present last night suddenly reappeared in the prince's psyche. He was being so kind and caring to Sokka. He had never treated anyone in this manor. Yet, the Water Tribe boy brought out something in the prince buried so deep that Zuko didn't even know it existed. He wasn't sure he liked it either, but he decided to ponder on it later. He would rather join his lover in the land of dreams.

This was not to be. At that moment someone opened the door to the prince's chambers.

Zuko sat up in bed ready to attack whatever came through that door.

It was Uncle Iroh grinning from ear to ear. "Prince Zuko, the crew and I were wondering what happened to you and Sokka last night. I suppose this explains it." Iroh smiled even wider, if that was possible. I am a genius!! Surely Prince Zuko will be far easier to live with now that he has a lover.

"Go away." Zuko grumbled, curling up with Sokka once more.

Iroh's smile faltered. Maybe not. "Come now, it is not everyday that something this wonderful happens to my dear nephew!!" The general closed the door and approached the bed.

Zuko hated it when his uncle ignored him. "I said, 'Go away'. You'll make Sokka uncomfortable."

"Oh!" Iroh's gigantic smile returned as he sat beside the bed. "So now we are worried about Sokka's feelings? I must say Prince Zuko, it is refreshing to hear that you are worried about someone other than yourself."

Zuko also hated it when his uncle was right. "Look what you did! Now he's waking up."

The first thing Sokka saw when he woke up was Zuko. The boy smiled and gave him a good morning kiss on the cheek. "Morning. Were you talking to yourself? I knew you were weird but I didn't think you were that weird." The groggy Water Tribe warrior asked snuggling up to his lover.

"No, I was not talking to my self." Zuko answered dryly.

"Good morning Sokka." Iroh said happily as a way to announce his presents.

Sokka's jaw dropped as he looked at the older man. In a split second he was on the other side of the bed from Zuko babbling profusely. "It's not what it looks like. We can explain. It was a moment of madness I tell you, MADNESS!"

"I told you that you would make him uncomfortable." Zuko muttered at his uncle. He then turned to his lover who was still rambling. "Calm down. He knows. This is acceptable in the Fire Nation. It's all right."

Sokka stopped rambling instantly. "What?"

"It is a very old tradition actually. When warriors are away from home for a long time, they yearn for some sort of...um... normalcy and companionship. Sometimes they would find it in the arms of another warrior. Someone they had befriended and trusted implicitly The practice is not as wide spread as it is once was because women have been allowed to join the army. Though female warriors are still few and far between." Iroh explained with a smile on his face. He watched Sokka calm down considerably. "These warriors who become lovers are known as Yoru Aikata, or night companions." The older man continued. "You, Sokka, warrior of the Water Tribe, are Prince Zuko's first Yoru Aikata."

Sokka glared at Zuko. "Why didn't you explain this to me last night?" he asked, his voice cracking a little.

The prince threw his lover a sultry smirk. "I'm sorry," he said sarcastically. "If you remember correctly my mouth was a little busy, and I believe you would have rather had me doing what I was doing, instead of explaining warrior tradition."

"ZUKO!!" Sokka yelled turning bright red and wishing he could crawl under a rock at that moment. "How could you say that in front of -" the boy stopped as he had a sudden realization. "Wait, Did you say I was Zuko's first... Yoru-thingy?" The question was pointed at Iroh who thought the lovers spat that was brewing was utterly adorable.

"Why, yes. That is why I was so happy he had finally chosen a Yoru Aikata. I was worried he would never open his heart to anyone. I am glad he chose you, Sokka. I think you will be a good influence on my nephew."

The Water Tribe boy only heard, 'Why yes.'. After that he was glaring at the prince. "You said you'd done this before."

"No." Zuko retorted quickly, "You assumed. I just didn't correct you."

"You jerk." Sokka exclaimed grabbing his pillow and beating Zuko mercilessly with it. "You self- centered, egotistical jerk! Why didn't you tell me?!?"

The prince was trying his best to fend off the furious, yet not quite painful beating the best he could. "What would it matter if I had?"

Sokka stopped hitting Zuko and his eyes flickered from his lover to Iroh. "It just would have been different. That's all."

It was clear to the prince that Iroh's presents wasn't going to allow Sokka to speak openly. "Uncle, could you- "

Iroh raised a hand to quiet him and to show he already understood what the prince was about to ask him. "I understand. I have out stayed my welcome."

Zuko's eyes narrowed in an annoyed manner. "You weren't welcome in the first place." He said flatly.

The old man ignored him and stood, moving to the door. Just before leaving he turned to the couple. "Oh, Sokka, could you do one thing for me?"

Sokka hugged the pillow to himself, wishing this was all over. He nodded at Iroh's request through.

"From now on, call me Uncle." Iroh left with a happy chuckle as the Water Tribe boy turned ten shades of red.

As soon as the door was closed, Sokka collapsed backward on the bed, with the pillow over his face. "I can't believe this is happening."

Zuko curled up close to him, kissing the other boys neck and shoulder. "Believe it... Want to do it again?" The prince smiled when he felt his lover jump at the touch of the fire benders hand on his nipple.

"I can't." Sokka yelped sitting up and putting some distance between the prince and himself. "I- uh- I have to use the bathroom!"

The prince laid back on his side of the bed. "Fine, I'll be here when you get back." he sighed, closing his eyes and resting. He heard his lover run to the bathroom and slam the door shut. Zuko chuckled at the cute antics and returned to his musing about Sokka.

The effeminate eyes, the dark skin, what was so exotic and alluring? What would cause Such feelings to suddenly be dragged to the surface?

Maybe it wasn't something esthetic that was so drawing about the Water Tribe boy. A flash of memory filled Zuko's mind.

Sokka struggling against the prince when they trained together, though the boy would never back down. The way Sokka reached out a hand to help the prince when he actually knocked Zuko to the deck. Sokka's smile. All of these flooded Zuko's mind, bringing a warm feeling from deep with in his own depths. He hummed his content and yawned.

"Are you still tired?" Sokka asked, he had slipped back into bed while Zuko was thinking.

While it disturbed the prince that he was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the other boy return to bed, he didn't show it. "No." he answered curtly, opening his good eye and looking at his companion. "Just bored. I think I've found a lovely distraction." With that he pounced upon the other boy.

With a soft poof sound, Sokka landed on his back with Zuko over him kissing his neck. "Uh- Zuko! Maybe- Aah- maybe we should- Ooh- wait awhile. I mean, you know... It's daytime, Ah! That tickles. People don't do this in the daytime!"

The prince looked at his lover with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief. Then latched onto one light brown nipple and scraped his upper teeth against the erect nub of flesh.

Sokka's head snapped back and he let out a deep moan. "Oh. I guess this isn't up for discussion." he gasped.

"Is there anyway to shut you up?" the prince grumbled switching to the other nipple.

"Well, what you're doing is defiantly inspiring me to stop talking... I don't know about being quiet though." Sokka gasped again and squirmed against the prince. He felt Zuko's erection press against his hip as Sokka felt his own member harden.

"I think I know how to get you to stop talking." the prince commented with a smirk. He began to descend the boy's body, letting his hands lead the way.

It finally clicked in Sokka's brain what Zuko was going to do to him. "Wait Zuko."

With an exasperated sigh Zuko stopped and glared up at Sokka. "What now?"

"You did this to me last night. I want to try. You also let me cum twice and you only came once." Sokka was turning all different shades of red but he pulled Zuko back up and kissed him passionately.

When the kiss broke, Zuko searched Sokka's eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this? I won't make you."

"I'm sure. Sokka answered with a quick nod. He mustered all the will and forced the blush from his face.

Zuko kissed him again. "How do you want me?" he asked.

"On your back." The Water Tribe boy was sure his face was turning red again against his finest efforts. He cursed the prince for repeatedly making him blush but he was sure he wanted to do this. "I'll have more room to work that way."

The prince laid back on the futon. He knocked the pillows away, they would only get in the way. The blanket was kicked off the end of the bed.

When Zuko was situated comfortably on the bed, Sokka crawled over him and kissed him. There was no rushing this kiss. Sokka wanted to map out every ridge and crease in his lovers mouth. He wanted this kiss to mean something to Zuko. The Water Tribe boy was in absolutely terrified that he was falling in love with the prince. He prayed that Zuko would reciprocate his feelings. Maybe this was the way to portray his feelings without having to say them out loud.

When the kiss ended, they stared into each others eyes. Both boys attempted to read the others soul in that moment. Then Sokka did something that surprised Zuko, the warrior touched the prince's scar.

Breath caught in Zuko's lungs as Sokka traced the outline of the healed burn. Starting at the corner of his eye, up over the brow, around the misshapen ear, down over the cheek bone and back to the corner of his eye. The journey of Sokka's fingers was gentle and unhurried.

Sokka forgot the task at hand as he pondered the uneven, darkened flesh. They were the same age yet the worst scar the water tribe boy had was on the pad of his thumb, were he had gotten two fishhooks caught when he was ten. This deformity covered almost half of his lover's face. What could have happened to his prince to cause such an imperfection on his otherwise beautiful face? Would it be rude of him to ask Zuko so early in their relationship? Was this a relationship?

The Water Tribe boy thought back to the first time he saw Zuko. That scar on his face had been so prevalent back then. Now after being on the ship for a little less than a month, he saw the boy, not the scar. Now Sokka wanted to share the pain Zuko felt, if only to lessen it just a little.

That's when Sokka knew, deep in his heart, that he had fallen in love with the prince. Though his brain screamed that this was wrong, his heart felt this is who he was meant to be spend the rest of his life with. The Water Tribe boy decided his heart had never steered him wrong before, he might as well plan out how he would explain his unorthodox relationship to Gran-gran... and Dad... and Katara and Aang. A gentle hand on his wrist caused Sokka to come crashing back to earth. Zuko's worried face became more focused.

"Don't touch that." the prince said calmly.

Sokka smiled bemusedly. "Why?"

Zuko took his time answering. "Maybe this isn't a good idea." he said.

Sokka was speechless. He had never heard Zuko say anything that sounded like he was second guessing himself. The Water Tribe boy's heart stopped as his brain interpreted what the prince said to mean that Zuko felt this new turn in their relationship was a bad idea. "What do you mean?" Sokka asked in a breathless voice.

"You're not ready to do this to me. There's no way you could want to touch my body so intimately after focusing on such a repulsive blemish." The prince attempted to push Sokka away. "We can try this some other time if you want."

The Water Tribe warrior pushed Zuko back onto the bed. "No." Sokka was emboldened by the sound of Zuko's words. 'Some other time.' meant the prince wanted to engage in these activities with him again. "I'm not repulsed by your scar." He said sternly. "It's part of who you are and I l-" Sokka paused for a moment to collect his thoughts. It was rather hard with one part of his psyche screaming at the boy to just say he loved Zuko and get it over with, while the other part told him to just shut up and suck the other boy off already. "I - L-l-like you... a lot." Damn it! "So that means I like your scar too and I wanna do this." He bent his head and latched onto a nipple. Sokka tongued and nipped the bundle of nerves till it became an erect point. He moved to its twin and gave that one the same treatment.

To say Zuko was surprised by his shy lover's reaction would have been an understatement. First he listened in stunned amazement to his lover then moaned his appreciation. The prince watched the boy make love to each of his nipples then begin his slow trek down his sternum, leaving kisses in his wake. He watched Sokka reached the hollow between his thighs. The Water Tribe teen took Zuko's cock in his hand and stroked it a few times. He watched the precum collect at the tip. When Sokka looked up at Zuko, the prince thought he might come that very minute. The passion and need portrayed in those silver eyes was enough to drive a monk to commit carnal sins of the flesh.

Now that he was sure he had Zuko's attention, Sokka turned his concentration back to the cock in his hand. He licked the head clean and paused to analyze the taste. Sweet, salty... Somewhat like a good smoked meat. Sokka liked it. The boy especially liked the noises Zuko was making. Choked moans and pleading whimpers at every touch! This had to be heaven!

Sokka started at the base. He licked up the shaft then over the crown, he made a return journey down the other side. He lovingly nuzzled the short patch of hair framing his prince's cock.

On the next pass, Sokka used the tip of his tongue to trace each vain from base to tip. He ended this torture by sucking the head of Zuko's cock into his hot mouth and tonguing the tear shaped slit.

Zuko's head was thrown back in ecstasy. "Yes!!" he gasped. "That's so good!!"

Sokka slid his mouth further down the shaft. Slowly engulfing as much as he could before he felt his gag reflex react. The Water Tribe boy pulled his head back, Sucking as hard as he could.
Callused hands tangled into Sokka's course hair as Zuko writhed in pleasure. "Ah! Faster!"

The darker boy did his best to comply, bobbing his head as fast as he could. After a moment, Sokka realized that if he concentrated he could suppress his gag reflex.

The prince had his eyes closed as he enjoyed his lover's mouth. His eye's snapped open and a loud groan escaped him when he felt himself penetrate Sokka's tight throat. Golden eyes looked down and gazed in awe as his dark skinned lover was taking him all the way to the root. "You're amazing." Zuko couldn't believe those words were coming out of his mouth but he couldn't take them back now. The prince decided that throwing his head back and moaning was an adequate way of expressing his pleasure.

Sokka was very turned on and he couldn't believe it. Zuko had hardly laid a hand on him except to pull his hair. He wanted the price's hands somewhere else. He moved faster. All the Water Tribe boy wanted in that moment was to see Zuko go over the edge, then maybe the prince would reciprocate.

With his eyes hidden in the crook of one arm and the fingers of the other hidden in Sokka's hair, all Zuko could do was moan. His brain was disintegrating to mush in the wake of his orgasm. Even with his vision blocked, Zuko's mind flashed images of Sokka for the prince's mind's eye to view. Training sessions, meditation, meals and even times when they were just horsing around was done with passion. Everything that Sokka did was whole hearted and passionate. The only thing the prince ever devoted that much energy to was the fight to gain his father's approval and this. He wanted more than anything in the world to love Sokka. The image of Sokka mid-orgasm filled the prince's mind and it was all he needed to find his release. Zuko came hard. He couldn't breath, he couldn't see. He could only feel.

Sokka tried his hardest to swallow everything his prince had to give to him. The darker boy delighted in Zuko's taste. When he was sure that Zuko had finished coming he released the flaccid penis from his mouth and looked up at his lover. Zuko lay panting and starring at the ceiling. Smirking and feeling quite proud of himself, Sokka crawled up the length of his body and kissed the prince. At first Zuko didn't return his kiss but after a few swipes of Sokka's tongue against his own Zuko responded with equal passion. When they parted for air Zuko was the first to break the silence.

"That was... You were..." The prince was at a loss for words and it was seriously enflaming Sokka's ego.

Sokka flipped the hair out of his face and smiled seductively down at the Fire Nation prince. "I was that good, huh?"

The fair skinned boy started to regain his stoic demeanor. "Don't get too excited. You still have a lot to learn." The prince kissed his lover. Zuko liked how his flavor and Sokka's mixed so well in the other boy's mouth. When something hard bumped Zuko's inner thigh the prince remembered that his bedmate had not come yet. With a grin, He kissed down Sokka's neck and before the Water Tribe boy knew what hit him Zuko had rolled them both over. Sokka tried to voice his indignation but Zuko positioned himself in the cradle of the other boy's hips, perfectly aligning their cocks. With one well excited swivel of his hips Zuko had Sokka moaning anew.

The boys clutched each other as their hips humped back and forth. Zuko was quickly regaining his erection and was eager to be joined with Sokka in the most intimate way possible, as soon as possible.

Yet that, now familiar, pang of worry crept into the prince's heart. "Are you sore or hurt from last night?" He asked his lover through panting breaths.

Sokka did not answer. He was too caught up in his own passion. Zuko slowed his movements. With an annoyed groan, Sokka finally focused on the prince.

"Don't slow down." The Water Tribe boy panted. "I want it faster, harder."

The prince smiled at his lover. "That's not how you ask a prince for something. Besides, you didn't answer my question."

"What question?" The Water Tribe warrior was starting to get frustrated.

"I asked." Zuko began with a chuckle. "If you were hurt or sore from last night?"

The boy frowned up at the Fire Nation prince. "Do I look sore to you?" All his patience was gone. Sokka wanted Zuko. He wanted him bad and he wanted him now! It was true that when he had first gotten out of bed he had felt some discomfort in his lower half but pain was the farthest thing from Sokka's mind now. "Zuko! Stop teasing me! I want you!!" he whined.

The prince smirked. He knew what he wanted and how to get it. A trail of kisses were laid down Sokka's neck and shoulder as Zuko made his way to his warrior's right nipple. "Oh dear." he mumbled against heated tan flesh. "I suppose I'll have to ignore your request until you remember how to speak properly to royalty." With that he kissed around Sokka's aureole and cruelly disregarded the tightly peaked nipple that so wanted the prince's attention. The warm mouth mapped out a path across his warrior's chest and upon reaching the other nipple was given more demands from his lover. The left was given the same treatment as the right and the slow moving trail of kisses preceded down Sokka's body.

Zuko stopped here and there leaving small love bites along Sokka's abdomen. The Water Tribe boy whined and groaned and made demands but none of that prompted the prince to touch him were he truly wished to be touched. He even threw some well placed threats at his tormentor but they were ignored as much as the demands.

The prince's travels soon brought him to the juncture of Sokka's hip and thigh. Zuko disregarded the center of his lover's desire. Instead he choose to lay soft sucking kisses on the other boy's thighs. Sword callused hands moving from hip to knee and Sokka allowed Zuko to spread his legs as wide as they would go. Sokka forgot to be embarrassed that all of his secrets were now on display. He was too lost in his own passion and too desperate to be touched to care.

Hands that previously held knees apart now spread the globes of Sokka's ass. The eyes of the prince raked over his lover's puckered entrence and smirked. "You sure you're not sore from last night. You look so tight and perfect that I want to be inside you again."

At Zuko's words Sokka felt like he was going to lose his mind. The hot breath of the prince against his tender flesh and the thoughts of Zuko inside him were just to much. "Zuko!! Please!!!" he panted. Pride be damned.

"You're on the right track but just saying please doesn't tell me what you really want. Never address a monarch until you know exactly what you are asking for. I'll give you a few minutes to think about it." Zuko went about placing sensual nibbles along the inside of Sokka's ass cheeks.

Consumed by fire running through his veins, Sokka finally gave in. "Please, Zuko! Please fuck me!! I need you inside me. Please don't tease me anymore."

Zuko abandoned his succulent feast and kissed his way up Sokka's sternum, placing a deep kiss on the other boys lips. "I think I like you the best when you're begging me for something." Zuko whispered against his lover's mouth.

There was no way Sokka was going to take that from Zuko, even in bed. "Shut up and do me you self-centered jerk." he husked back.

Sokka was very surprised when a strong hand tangled in his hair and gave a firm yank tilting his head back and exposing his throat to the prince. It didn't hurt but it startled him. His breath caught in his lungs momentarily till a strong sucking open mouth kiss was placed above his choker. Zuko did not let up till a vivid red mark blazed against the bronze skin. "You are going to regret that last comment." he whispered against Sokka's adams apple.

With a thick swallow Sokka gave himself completely to Zuko. He would let the other boy take complete control of him.

The hand in his hair released his grip and moved to Sokka's forearm. The boy watched as his lover tried to pull him up and turn him over forcibly. "Turn over, now." the prince said in a stern voice, all signs of playfulness gone.

Sokka realized that Zuko, his lover, was no longer occupying the same room as him. This was Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation commanding him and he could not believe how sexy he found it. With swift movements Sokka turned over to lay on his stomach. He yelped when the same strong hand that had been in his hair now laid a stern slap on his right ass cheek. "I'm gonna have to teach that smart mouth of yours who's in charge. Now get your hips up and keep your head down."

Stuck in a shocked state, Sokka didn't move but a slap to his other buttock was all the encouragement the boy needed. He climbed up onto his knees with his face buried in the futon.

Zuko leaned over his lovers back and kissed him behind his ear. "Good boy. You taste so sweet." He whispered into Sokka's ear. A hot kiss was placed on the Water Tribe boy's shoulder. "Your lips, your throat, your stomach, even your cock. Every inch of you is a delicacy." The prince was kissing along Sokka's spine when he came to the boy's ass. "How about here? I bet this is the sweetest part of you." The prince kissed the dusty pink rosette hidden in the cleft of Sokka's buttocks.

Sokka just gasped at first but when the wet blade of Zuko's tongue breached the tender opening he couldn't hold back any longer. "Zuko!" He moaned. "What are you doing?"

No answer was forth coming as Zuko was only interested in hearing Sokka moan, coherent words were not part of his plan. The prince buried his tongue deeper into the dark hole, prompting his lover to clutch handfuls of the futon beside his head. Zuko was surprised and aroused when he realized he could taste himself deep inside Sokka, left over from the night before.

Riotous spasms of pleasure racked the warrior's body. Sokka had never imagined that he could feel this way with another male and though the pleasure was all consuming the ways of his people kept nagging at the back of his mind. Why dose this feel so good if it's supposed to be wrong? he asked himself. This can't be wrong! I Love it! I love- I love- "Spirits!" he gasped, overwhelmed by the desire to have Zuko inside him. To be filled, to be possessed and maybe just loved a little. "Enough, Zuko! Just fuck me already!!"

He shouldn't have been surprised when he received another sharp slap to his buttock. "I thought we discussed this." Zuko growled in a threatening manor after abandoning Sokka's delicious flesh. "You will address me properly or you will receive only what I feel you deserve." He quickly located and grabbed the oil he had used last night. The prince slicked his fingers and pressed them to Sokka's opening. "You can have these for now. I'll give you my cock when you remember how to ask nicely." That was all the warning Sokka was allotted before Zuko pushed two fingers deep inside him.

The initial burn was just what Sokka needed. He swiftly pushed himself back against Zuko's fingers. The sensation of being stretched and filled was exquisite and for a moment Sokka wondered if he was a sadist. When Zuko located his prostate, Sokka quit thinking. White hot pleasure shot through the warrior as he gasped for breath. "Yes!! Please Zuko! Yes! More! Give me more!" Were the only coherent words he could think of.

"Hmmm... Close but I think you need to be a little more specific on what you want. I'll give you a little more though." The prince said almost completely withdrawing his fingers then added a third as he plunged them back into the tight channel.

Sokka moaned in delight at being filled again. It wasn't enough. He needed Zuko inside him, buried deep inside, so deep that they would be together forever. No mater were they went, or who they talked to, even separated there would be a trace of the other always there. So Sokka chose to give into Zuko body and soul.

"Please Zuko!! I need your cock inside me, please! I need you so badly! You're the only one who can make me feel this good! Please!" the warrior begged almost in tears from the pleasure and the wanting.

Zuko smiled. "Good boy. I think you're ready now anyway." The prince scissored his fingers a few more times just to be sure and to hear those delightful open mouthed cries. When he removed his fingers the sob of abandonment Sokka uttered almost broke his heart. The Fire Nation prince quickly slicked up his cock and nudged the head at Sokka's opening.

He ment to go slow to prolong the agony of exsticy, unluckily the warrior had other ideas. As soon as Sokka felt Zuko press against him he shoved himself back taking Zuko as deeply and quickly as possible. "Oh Zuko! Yes!" the boy under him screamed throwing his head back.

Falling forward, unprepared for being taken in so suddenly Zuko rested his head between Sokka's shoulder blades. His breathing was labored and he fought against his own release. Sokka was so tight and perfect that being engulfed so quickly had him riding the edge. A few meditative breaths later, the prince felt he could move without fear of coming to quickly.

The body beneath him was panting and shaking in anticipation of his next movement. A panted "Please." drifted up to his ear every so often and Zuko loved it.

Straightening his back, Zuko took Sokka's hip in his hands and pulled out halfway then delivered a slow heavy thrust back in, seating himself deeply inside his lover. When Sokka only delivered a muffled groan the prince decided to up the ante. With a vicious twist of his hips he hit Sokka's sweet spot dead on. The warrior's head flew back with a loud cry of pleasure. Zuko decided that this would be the plan of attack for the rest of their love making session. He pulled out all the way this time but used the same slow measured movement along with the hip twist to keep both boys delirious with pleasure.

Not surprisingly Zuko was already riding close to the edge. His hips started speeding up even though he wished to draw this out even longer, but he could no longer deny them both release. What Zuko wanted most now was Sokka's mouth against his. The Water Tribe boy's tongue and taste in his mouth. The prince moved his hands from his lover's hips to his shoulders, pulling him up till Sokka's back was pressed against his chest. Sokka turned his head and kissed Zuko hard, crushing their lips together almost violently.

One of Sokka's hands grabbed Zuko's thigh behind him as he attempted to rock back harder into the cradle of his lover's hips. The other hand went to his hard shaft.

Sokka pulled away from Zuko's mouth gasping. "Harder." He nuzzled his nose against the prince's and stole a few soft kisses. "Fuck me as hard as you can."

The prince's blood boiled at those words. Zuko found he was unable to carry out Sokka's command with the position they were in. While still keeping a firm hold on his lover's shoulders, he leaned forward knocking both of them into the futon. Sokka turned his face to keep from suffocating face down in the mattress.

As Zuko threw his whole weight behind his thrusts, Sokka wailed. "Aah! Yes! Spirits, Yes! Fuck me hard!!!" The hand on the prince's hip moved to cradle his own forehead. The warrior panted and sweat as his lover pounded into him.

Zuko removed his hands from the boy's shoulders when Sokka found a more stable position for their intercourse. His hands were placed on the other's slim hips and he erected his torso with his head thrown back. "Oh! Sokka you feel so good! Yes!" he groaned, "I'm close, come with me. I want us to come together."

"I'll come with you. I'll come with you." Sokka chanted breathlessly. His hand worked faster on his own cock.

They ment it in more than just a sexual manor, with every caress, with every breathless utterance both boys felt the warrior bond between them strengthen. Their lives were twined together by destiny. In that moment they could instinctually feel it.

With a few more hard thrusts Zuko felt himself on the very cusp of release. "Now, Sokka! Come with me."

"Yes! Yes!!" his lover shrieked.

Sokka felt Zuko's hot seed empty inside him even as his own cock erupted in his hand. His cum sprayed the futon beneath him and his hand. The Water Tribe warrior held his member as it softened with in his grasp.

The prince removed himself from his lover and collapsed beside Sokka's still kneeling form. Without much grace the Water Tribe warrior rolled over into his partner's arms and breathed a sigh of contentment. Zuko reached over his lover's prone body and took Sokka's cum covered hand in his own. He raised the dark fingers to his lips and sucked them clean. "That was excellent." he said between swipe of his tongue against the lengthy digits.

"Yeah." Sokka grumbled leaning back to lay a few kisses on his lover's chin. "But we need to talk."

The Fire Nation prince wrapped his arms around his lover's waist and pulled him tight against him. "You are right. You never answered my question."

"Me first. You lied to me last night so I deserve to talk first." The Water Tribe boy pouted and turned in his lover's arms.

The prince actually chuckled. "I told you I never lied, I just didn't tell you everything."

"Yeah you stupid jerk. So I should get to talk first." Sokka's voice was raising to a very angry level. His whole body stiffened preparing for a fight.

Zuko, out of habit, made the problem worse. "Fine! Babble your stupid brain out. I'm listening, all right?"

Sokka was visibly ruffled. He sat up and glared down at his lover. "You pain in my ass! I just have some questions and you think you're gonna talk to me like that? I don't think so, Mr. Jerk-face! If you think-"

The prince sat up quickly and took the warrior by the shoulders. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that." He kissed Sokka softly and felt the frustration melt from his body. "What questions do you have?"

Blushing, Sokka wasn't used to Zuko speaking so softly to him, he began. "Kay. So this Yoru - thingy - "

"Yoru Aikata." Zuko corrected.

"Yeah that. Does that mean I have to be like your wife and cook and clean and do what you say?" The darker boy worried his lower lip between his teeth.

Zuko loved when Sokka made that face. He wanted to take that lip between his own teeth then ravage the other boy. He had a feeling his body had done enough ravaging for a while. "No. It only means that I trust you and think you are a warrior of the same caliber as myself. It is an honor that I wish to share my bed with you and it is an honor for me that you have excepted because you must have the same feelings as I do."

I don't know if we have the same feelings. Maybe that's why my chest hurts. Sokka thought sadly. "Good, cause you don't want me to cook or clean, trust me." Sokka smiled at his lover. "Now is this forever, like marrage?"

"It's called a 'night companion' not a 'life companion'. You can leave my bed when ever you wish. Though some do choose to have same sex life companions, I will not because I will have to produce an heir when I have been restored my rightful place in my nation." Zuko said this mostly to watch Sokka's reaction. If the prince had known how closely Sokka was garding his expression and how hurt he felt at those words, Zuko might have confessed his love for the darker boy that very moment.

The warrior feigned indifference. "Whatever. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't stuck with you for the rest of my life."

"It's my turn to ask questions. Why were you so angry when you found out that last night was my first time? "The prince was not happy with the response the warrior had given him.

Sokka blushed brightly and looked away. "I just felt so useless, like I was forcing you to do everything. Maybe If I knew we could have stumbled through it together. And... to tell you the truth... I was kinda jealous."

Zuko raised his eyebrow. "Jealous?"

"Of your other lovers, O.K.? I told you. Are you happy now?" Sokka glared indignantly at Zuko.

The prince gave his lover a half smile before pulling him into his arms and laying kisses along Sokka's jaw to his ear. "I like that you want to be my only lover." Zuko nipped the Water Tribe boy's earlobe and was delighted by the small gasp he received.

"One more question." Sokka said while wrapping his arms around Zuko's neck and pulling those nipping kissing lips closer to his flesh. "Do we have to announce this... um... change in our relationship to the whole crew?"

"If I was taking you as my 'Raifu Aikata' , my life companion, and we were in the Fire Nation then yes. There would be a ceremony in the royal temple and we would be bonded together. This is some hat different. We need not tell anyone. Uncle has found out and I have a feeling the crew will know very soon."

Groaning in annoyance, Sokka buried his face in his lover's shoulder and breathed in his scent. "I never imagined Iroh would tell people about something so private."

"He won't" added Zuko. The prince's lips pressed to the other boy's neck.

Sokka pulled away to look at his prince. His brow was furrowed I confusion. "Then how will they know?"

The Fire Nation warrior smirked in a very self-satisfied way. "I left a significant amount of love marks on your neck."

"What!?" Sokka jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Upon seeing his reflection in the mirror Sokka let out a low groan of annoyance.

With a chuckle Zuko followed his lover into the wash room. He found Sokka examining a rather livid mark just below his chin. "They look good on you." the prince said to their reflections while wrapping his arm around the strong warm torso of the other.

Sokka rolled his eyes. "I look stupid. Hey, stop it!! You've done enough." he said to Zuko, who had began to leave a trail of love bites down one of the warrior's shoulders.

"Wear them with pride, Sokka. It's not every day some peasant is chosen to be the lover of a prince." Zuko placed one more kiss on a tan shoulder then walked out of the little room.

"Yeah! Well, I didn't wanna be chosen by the prince of egotistical jerks!!" Sokka yelled after him.

Zuko paid it no mind, he began to take out clothes for Sokka and himself. "Shall I wait or go up to breakfast without you?" he asked nonchalantly.

After a moments silence, Sokka answered. "Wait. I'll be out in a minute."

Soon after he was dressed, Zuko began pilling the clean pillows and blankets into the closet. He left the futons out to be cleaned.

"I hope breakfast isn't cold." Sokka wondered as he came out of the bathroom. He had brushed his hair and pulled it neatly back into a pony tail.

Zuko watched him as he dressed. "I'm sure Uncle asked the cook to make something special and to keep it warm for us." The prince expression became far off for a moment as he was lost in thought. "Did you mean what you said earlier?" he asked all of a sudden.

"What?" Sokka stopped tying his belt to give the prince a questioning look. "What did I say?"

"You called me a pain in your ass, did you mean that I was just bothering you or did I really hurt you?"

Sokka finished tying his belt with a small smile on his face. "You were just bugging me, that's all."The Water Tribe warrior looked into Zuko's eyes. "Do you really care that much?"

"Yes," He answered, "I want this part of our relationship to continue but not if it hurts you during or afterwards."

Sokka leaned closer and lay a passionate kiss on Zuko's lips. "If it hurt to have sex with you, would I have told you to do me harder?"

Zuko looked incredulous. "I suppose not."

"It was incredible. I've never felt like that before." Sokka gave the prince a gentle kiss. "I have to admit I am a little sore. It was worth it though."

"I'm sorry you're sore." Zuko mumbled against those soft tan lips.

The warrior pulled away. "Are you actually apologizing?"

"I can apologize if I want."

"I'm just surprised you actually have the ability to apologize."

"That's the last time I'm ever apologizing to you." Zuko pouted. He pulled away from Sokka a little.

"Good." The warrior pulled him back into his arms. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. Now, let's go to breakfast. I'm starved!" He took the prince's hand in his own and headed for the door.

Zuko pulled Sokka back and laid a deep breath stealing kiss upon his lips. "I'm sure Uncle chose a special tea from his own private store to celebrate this occasion." he said after pulling away.

This is an occasion worth celebrating in the Fire Nation. In the water tribe I'd be disowned and driven from the village, or told I was sick. I feel so good when I'm with him, Especially when he acts like he does now. I even like him when he being a complete and total jerk. This just can't be wrong. The Water Tribe boy was lost in thought and the Fire Nation boy could tell by the far off look on his face.

"Sokka? Stop thinking so much. Your brain will explode from sudden use after so many years." The prince chuckled.

Sokka smiled. He leaned against Zuko, his hands resting on his lover's chest. He continued leaning forward as if to place a kiss on Zuko's lips. With a playful twist to his smile, Sokka gently pushed the prince and ran past him down the hall. "Beat you to breakfast!" he yelled back over his shoulder.

The prince chuckled. His heart felt light as he watched the other boy run down the hall. He hoped this feeling would never end. He shook his head and followed his lover onto the deck.
