i love jetokka so much like the raw potential there is so good, especially with the opposite sides & ideological stances they found themselves on. also the hilarity of jet just switching up his attraction like yes, all water tribes bitches are hot & if zuko got katara then jet wants sokka!
Zuko and Katara both woke with a start, Zuko’s head hitting Katara’s chest. Both let out hisses of pain.
“What?” came Jet’s groggy response.
Aang almost fell off of Appa’s head and Toph’s punch missed Sokka’s face by centimeters.
“Sparky-Sparky Boom Man wasn’t threatening enough. Combustion Man is way better!” Sokka says, pride evident in his voice.
Zuko just mutters something before curling into Katara again. Katara just sighed. She pokes Zuko’s sides, earning a complaint from the said omega.
“We need to get up,” she tells him, poking him once more.
“Passive-aggressive poking won’t get me to wake up, jerk,” he mumbles.
Katara snorts and pokes him one more time. Zuko sits up.
“Fine, I’m awake. Happy?” Zuko asks, rubbing his side.
“Very much so,” Katara responds, smug.
“Toph’s still asleep and Aang also fell asleep,” Zuko points out.
Katara looks around and deems it a losing battle.
“Fine, then sleep. See if I care,” she says.
Zuko huffs and leaves her, instead opting to curl next to Toph, the alpha letting out a mumble of “warm.”
Jet laughs quietly and Sokka lets out a smile from the top of his master schedule.
“Let’s fly for the day and then land for tonight,” Sokka decides. Katara hums an agreement and lays down to rest once more. Jet took the reins from Aang and picked up the air bender to put him next to Zuko.
They flew steadily in calm silence.
That night the Gaang was sitting around a campfire telling scary stories. Katara was sitting with Zuko’s head on her lap. Toph was leaning on Appa while the rest were sitting on a shared log.
“... like little Nini is still trying to get warm.” Katara finished her story. By the end, Aang was using Momo to cover his face, and Toph and Jet were hiding under Appa. Zuko was amused.
“You have a heart of ice if that didn’t scare you,” Aang said, peeking from behind Momo’s ears.
Zuko looked unimpressed. “Azula’s face is scarier.” he deadpans.
Sokka nodded thoughtfully. “He’s not wrong.”
“Wait, guys. I hear people screaming under the mountain.” Toph said.
“Ha ha. Very funny.” Jet snarked.
“No, seriously, I hear things from under the mountain,” Toph said, adjusting her footing on the ground to try and sense better.
“Hello, children.” came a voice from behind them.
“AHHHHHHH!!” yelled the Gaang, screaming bloody murder, and jumping to their defensive positions.
“Oh, I’m dreadfully sorry. I truly didn’t mean to scare you,” said an old lady stepping out from the shadows.
“Oh, it’s fine,” Katara said, being the first to recover.
“Would you like to stay at my inn? My name is Hama, and it’s awfully cold here. I would hate to see such promising youths freeze to death.” the woman says kindly, a gentle smile on her face.
“Really? It wouldn’t inconvenience you?” Aang asked politely.
“Never,” said Hama, smiling. Something about that smile put Sokka on edge. He wasn’t quite sure what, but when he met Jet’s eyes, he saw that he had the same concerns as him.
“Well then. Let’s go!” Katara said.
Zuko comes up next to Jet, almost hiding on his side.
“I don’t like the way she looked at me,” he murmurs quietly.
Jet gently coos at the vulnerability in his omega. “It’ll be fine. Also, I have your second courting gift.”
Zuko looks up, eyes shining at that.
Jet hands him a small ring, a beautiful sterling silver metal with a small garnet inside.
The breath seems to leave Zuko as the beauty of the gem seems to shock him.
“It’s beautiful,” he whispers, putting it on.
“Like you,” Sokka says from the other side.
“Hurry up, love birds!” Toph yells.
Zuko flushes and Sokka laughs.
“Why do you laugh at my expense?” the omega muttered in slight indignation.
“It’s funny,” Jet replies, mirth evident in his tone.
The omega sighs but the trio walks fast to catch up with the rest of their group.
“We can’t afford expensive pieces of jewelry, right?”
“No. I didn’t know you liked jewelry, Zuko.”
“I usually don’t. But this is a courting gift. And it would cost us, like, 3 bags of gold.”
Katara whips around. “We don’t have that much money!” Katara hissed.
Zuko nods, showing her the necklace. It was an intricately woven gold necklace with a small ruby nestled inside ornate gold weavings.
“Correction: We didn’t have that much money. Who knew gambling would be so helpful?” Sokka mused. A messenger hawk sat on his arm. Zuko seems irritated at first but when the hawk hops onto his arm, he relents and lets out a small smile at the hawk.
“Gambling,” asked Katara, deadpan.
“Well, not really. Toph used earth bending to win money,” Jet explained.
“That’s cheating,” Zuko frowned.
“Not if they cheat first,” Toph counters petulantly.
Katara rolled her eyes. “It’s still cheating. Just that both sides are doing it.”
Aang at least had the decency to look sheepish.
“I don’t have to listen to you! You’re not my mom!” Toph yelled.
“This is going to end badly and then you’ll be in trouble!” Katara yelled back.
They both storm off in opposite directions, Katara going to the river and Toph building a rock tent.
“I don’t have to return the necklace, do I?” Zuko asked Jet.
Jet shook his head. Sokka smiled. “I’m glad you liked it,” he told the omega, wrapping his arms around his waist. Zuko sighed
“I should probably talk to Katara.” he said. He presses a quick kiss to each alpha’s cheek and goes to try and clam down the angry bender.
“I should probably try to talk to Toph,” Aang says.
“She’d kill you if you got too close,” Jet warned.
“On second thought, Appa and Momo look lonely,” Aang says, swiveling around.
Sokka chuckled. Jet was looking past him as Zuko tried not to laugh while calming down Katara, who was using exaggerated arm movements.
“Did you tell him yet that you already have preparations for a betrothal necklace?” Jet asked.
“No. He already has enough to worry about. Let’s not add to the ever-growing list, shall we?” Sokka responds calmly.
“Hmm,” Jet says.
They look over to see Katara accidentally waterbend a mountain of water onto Zuko. She immediately apologizes and tries to help him get out of the cold water but with a small grin, Zuko tackles her into the water. The pair were laughing, clearly unaware that Zuko had ended up straddling Katara’s waist in a way that suggested far more than just simple fun.
Sokka and Jet were constantly having to backtrack and check their anger. Usually aimed at Katara, they also were often angry at Toph and Aang for being too close or spending too much time with their omega. They were calmed at night when Zuko storms into their tent and falls into one of their laps, complaining about how sore firebending practice had left him. Sokka would often let out replies that weren’t deemed worthy of just simple courting.
But the pair were understanding. They had brought up the prospect of sex once only to have Zuko freezing as panic caused muscles to snap into a defensive position. They understood Zuko wasn’t quite comfortable with sex just yet. They never pressed the idea, though suggestive comments and terrible jokes did make Zuko give them unimpressed looks.
That night when Zuko came over to the pairs’ tent, he was pouting. He just sits and lays next to Sokka, burying his face and somehow managing to hide a majority of his body under Sokka and the sleeping covers. Jet laughs at the fact that at his angle, the only thing visible of the Crown Prince was a fluffy cloud of black hair.
“Shut up,” Zuko muttered, weariness seeping into his tone.
“What’s got your panties in a twist?” Sokka asks.
“It’s Katara! I swear she thinks we’re having s… You fucking pervert, of course, you of all people would want to see me in panties.”
“Who wouldn’t with an ass like yours?” Jet teased, pressing against the back of the omega.
“I- Shut up!” he says back, a slight pink hue visible on his cheekbones.
“Just sleep. We’ll figure out how to calm down Katara in the morning,” Sokka said, laughter coloring his voice.
“You’re so mean!” Zuko whined. “You’re laughing at me! You have no right. You named that guy Sparky-Sparky Boom Man and your hawk Hawky. How unoriginal can you get?” The aforementioned hawk let out a squawk at being called upon.
“Darling, you hurt me!” Sokka said in a mocking tone of false hurt.
Jet let out a laugh but buried it in Zuko's shoulder when the omega glared at him.
Jet’s eyes widen in surprise as a small squeak escapes the omega as his breath tickles the side of his neck. Sokka’s grin is blinding.
“Are you… ticklish?” Jet asked, unable to keep the glee from his voice.
“No?” Zuko says, and it’s anyone’s guess who he’s trying to convince.
“Spirits, you are! Our omega is ticklish!” Sokka said, laughing.
The pair attack the omega who dissolves into laughter after they tickle. He squirms as tears of mirth gather in his eyes.
The alphas stop to press feather-light kisses across the omega’s face. Jet looks down and pauses at what he sees. “You’re wearing the necklace?” he asked.
“Yeah, of course. You got it for me, why wouldn’t I?” Zuko questions once he could breathe once again.
“Just didn’t think you would like it that much,” Jet responds, liking the way the gold stands out against pale skin.
Zuko smiles and presses a kiss to Jet’s lips. Jet smiles into the kiss, content with how the day had unfolded.
The trio was gently lulled into sleep in comforting silence.
“Hey, Jet,” Sokka says, sleep heavy in his voice.
“Yeah,” Jet responds, words barely audible.
“Zuko does have a nice ass, doesn’t he?”
“Shut up, Sokka, and go the fuck back to sleep,” a voice came from under the blankets.
Sokka smiled and pulled the omega closer to him, eliciting a complaint from the other alpha.
The next day they walked around town. Sokka was fanboying over some cool messenger hawks, while Jet and Toph were eyeing a street merchants’ gambling game. Katara paid for some supplies, with Zuko and Aang gathered the group to bring them back to the hill.
Katara and Jet were making small talk at the back of their group, Katara still giving him the stink eye. Toph was forced to actually help groom Appa with Aang, complaining loudly the entire time. Sokka sat with Zuko and was talking about the invasion that was coming up rather soon. Toph cracked her knuckles and said, “I’m starving. What’s for lunch?”
“Whatever we can buy. We don’t have a lot of money left. I made some stew with leftovers,” Katara said softly.
“Then let’s make some money,” Toph said.
“How?” Aang asked.
“You’re about to figure out, Twinkle Toes. Jet and Sokka, hurry the hell up. I need your help. If my plan works, you can buy your pretty omega some gifts,” Toph said, smirking at the now red firebender.
“What’s brighter; his fire or his blush?” Jet teased the flustered omega, getting a hit in the head in return.
“You don’t need to get me gifts if we’re low on money, you know,” Zuko said after the blush mostly died down.
“Yes, they do,” the younger 3 of the group said.
“They need to woo you,” Aang said, fake swooning onto Appa.
“To show some style dominance,” Toph said, flexing non-existent muscles.
“I’ll show them what the inside of a hornets’ stomach looks like if they don’t,” Katara grumbled, still bitter that they forgot to ask her to mate to Zuko.
Jet and Sokka gulp and drag Toph and Aang to the market place to get some money.
“You don’t need to scare them like that, you know,” Zuko chuckled, curling up into Katara’s arms. They were laying on Appa, waiting for the soup to boil.
“I was being nice,” Katara responded dryly.
Zuko buried his laugh in Katara’s shoulder. Katara lets out a soft laugh when she feels his grin against her shoulders.
“By the way, your fire nation outfit looks amazing,” Zuko commented, eyes closed.
“I know,” she hummed, basking in the warmth of the fire bender.
“You’re using me as a heater again, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“No excuses this time?”
“Why? You’re warm. Argue with me for enjoying that.”
“I would, but I’m tired. I’ll be mad at you after I nap.”
“Sounds like a plan, Sparky.”
“You’re starting to sound like Toph. She’s a terrible influence. I hate you.”
“So. Will you allow us to court you now?” Jet asks, somewhat bluntly.
Zuko laughed, amber eyes shining with something other than tears this time. “Yeah. I’d like that.”
Sokka smiled and was about to press a kiss to Zuko’s forehead before Jet opened the tent flap only to open the door to 3 people listening on the other side.
Katara yelps as she falls on her face with Toph and Aang collapsing on top of her.
“So you heard?” Zuko timidly asked the younger members of the group.
Toph and Aang nodded quietly. Katara looks mad.
Realization hits Sokka and Jet fully hard. They never properly asked Katara for permission. They paled.
“YOU FUCKING USELESS PIECES OF SHIT! HOW COULD YOU ASK HIM WITHOUT CONSULTING ME? Congrats on telling everyone, Zuko! Even if you didn’t mean to. Also, I told you they liked you for you and would still respect you! YOU DICKBAGS! IF YOU HURT ZUKO I WILL TAKE YOUR USELESS COCKS AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROATS AND WATCH YOU CHOKE AND DIE!” Katara screamed, pausing in the middle to congratulate Zuko, before continuing to make obscene threats towards Sokka and Jet.
“Could we all stay together tonight?” Toph asked, sounding really small.
Zuko just smiled and pulled Aang and Toph close.
Katara noticed the silence before Sokka and Jet did. They looked over to find Zuko with legs intertwined in Aang’s and arms covering Toph as though he could protect the 2 of them from the wars plaguing just outside. Katara silently crept behind Toph and clasps Zuko’s hand on Toph’s back. Sokka gently lays sideways with one arm thrown on Zuko and the other landing on Aang’s shoulder. Jet lays behind Aang, holding Sokka’s hand and also hugging the young Avatar. The group falls asleep like this in Zuko’s tent, content from leaving the panic and exhaustion from the real world behind to enter the realm of dreams with their family beside them.
