warnings: cursing, mentions of alcohol
there’s writing in this!!
Y/N quickly shoved her phone in her pocket and pretended to be very interested in her drink. The way her heart was pounding in her chest made her so angry, knowing that it was because of a boy she had never spoken to before. She ignored him as he leant against the wall next to her, and continued it while he cleared his throat.
“Hey, I’m Sokka,” he said, his voice cracking slightly. She looked down at the hand he held out for her to shake and decided against it, instead just shooting him a small smile before starting to walk away. Sokka followed after her, keeping pace by her side. “You’re, uh, friends with Toph, right? Angry little blind girl? Probably has rabies?”
She did her best to hold in a snort at the description. It was spot on, honestly. She nodded, turning to face him slightly. “Yeah, her, Zuko and I shared some classes in high school. Now they won’t leave me alone.” She glanced at him. “Guess that runs in your group.”
His cheeks grew red at the response, suddenly realizing how rude he might seem. “Oh- oh my god, I’m so sorry. I’m not trying to be creepy or rude or pervy or anything I just- Well, I just think you’re really pretty and I wanted to talk to you I guess,” he said. “I know you don’t really trust guys after whatever happened with you and your ex, which is totally understandable! Men suck, we do, I won’t sugarcoat it, but I was wondering if we could just.. talk, I guess? I want to get to know you, if that’s okay.”
Y/N took a big sip of her drink, trying to think normally and block out the thoughts that said HE HAS A PONYTAIL AND HE’S PRETTY PLEASE HOLD HIS HAND or the ones that weren’t as sweet, like HE’S A MAN ABORT MISSION, GO FIND THE SCARY BEAUTIFUL LADY FROM PSYCHOLOGY. She almost fainted in relief right there when Zuko walked up to them, a new bottle of some shiny liquor in his hand.
She grabbed the bottle from him and started pouring it while he spoke. “Yep just go ahead and take the whole thing, you freak- anyway, how’s it going over here?” Sokka gave him a panicked look, which made his brain start running in emergency mode. He quickly grabbed the bottle from Y/N, placing it down and grabbing her’s and Sokka’s shoulders. “You know, I don’t think you’ve seen Appa and Momo yet, have you Y/N?”
She shook her head cautiously, not at all trusting what Zuko was doing. She was distracted slightly by the glow that lit up in Sokka’s eyes when the names were mentioned though. “I forgot they were still locked upstairs! Oh my god, you’re gonna love them,” the boy turned toward her with a huge grin, “Appa is this absolutely gigantic ball of fluff- he kinda smells like meatballs even though Aang has him on a vegetarian diet, which is strange. And Momo! That fucking devil of a cat. The sweetest thing, but once you wake up suffocating cause there’s a cat ass on your face, your views tend to change.”
He almost stopped walking at the laughter that came from the girl’s lips, trying to replay the sound in his head as many times as possible. If he tomorrow, he’d sure as hell die happy knowing that he’s made her laugh at least once. The two of them didn’t even notice that Zuko had left their side. Sokka opened the door to Aang’s room, letting out a wild screech at what he saw behind it.
“STOP MAKING OUT WITH MY SISTER IN THE HOUSE I LIVE IN, YOU BALD FUCKING VEGAN!”
Y/N quickly slapped her hand over his eyes and slammed the door shut, slowly erupting into a fit of giggles. “Bald fucking vegan,” she repeated, Sokka joining in on her laughter. They started walking towards his room, where they just sat on his bed with gentle talking passing between them. His grin got wider everytime she laughed, which was pretty often.
“I’m glad you appreciate how entertaining I am, I mean really, I’m quite a hoot.”
“If I hear you call yourself a hoot again, I’m dropkicking you.”
