The sky was pale pink, splashed in red and orange tangling with wisps of feathery clouds as the wooden boat Sokka was aboard sailed slowly towards the grand Gates of Azulon. He had taken off his warm parka hours ago, finding the Fire Nation to be warm even in the earliest of mornings. Even the soft spray of water against his bare arms didn't seem to help much. He didn't think he really cared. Sokka sat at the very front of the boat, balanced on the edge as he watched the gates grow closer with every push of the waves below him. Maybe La was angry with him, making sure his feet found their way to Fire Nation shores though his heart still lay buried in the ice of his home. He had been the first one up, or maybe it was the last one awake, but now he could hear the shift changing slowly. His father and Katara would be up soon, and he'd have to change. The Fire Nation was very particular about clothing. In a few days, he would be married, mated, and undergoing strict training with both his new husband and a man named Iroh, who was apparently the brother of Fire Lord Ozai. Sokka took a deep breath at the thought, trying to decide how he wanted to go about the day. He could say he needed a bit more time on his own, which the crew and his family had respected so far, or he could be a man, an alpha, and face this head on like he'd said he would. Sokka let his eyes slip closed, listening to the lapping of the waves against the wooden hull he loved so dearly and taking a deep gulp of sea air. It smelled different here. The cold always had a nip, but now it was warm, humid. He didn't think he'd ever get used to the heat. Footsteps alerted him that he wasn't alone anymore, but he could tell by the gait it was his father. He'd broken his leg on the worst day of their lives and ran for miles on it. Gran-Gran said it'd never heal properly. Hakoda had promised he'd do it in every lifetime. Sokka wondered if there was more than one. "Did you manage to get any sleep?" "A little." "So none at all." Hakoda's warm hand touched Sokka's back gently, rubbing for a moment before he was wrapping his arm around Sokka and ducking his head to hug his son. "It's only for a little while. Maybe a year, tops." "Dad, I know. I get it. I'm the one who agreed after all." "And you can still take that back." Sokka considered it for a moment. Hakoda would let him. They could turn around and go back home. They could forget this ever happened. The Fire Lord had been more than generous in his terms. Almost too generous. Too good to be true. Sokka and Hakoda had noticed immediately, but the Northern Water Tribe had begged and then agreed without letting the South put their two coppers in. They had a choice, but it was be seen as an isolated wasteland that refused to help themselves or join the world in moving past the events of the war under Fire Lord Ozai's benevolent lead. The Earth Kingdom was really lapping it up as well. Sokka had seen the letters 'encouraging' Hakoda to accept the engagement offer. It was one son for the world and it wasn't like he wasn't ever going to come back. Once his husband was confirmed to be with child, they would sail back to the Southern Water Tribe and live there for the duration of the pregnancy and birth. The North had been delighted to read these terms. Sokka knew there was something wrong there. Why would a nation that so heavily prioritized their heirs, especially an heir born of a son of Agni, allow that child to be born on foreign soil? Dual citizenship, the proposal letter had said. Polar dog shit was what Hakoda had said. "You know I won't." A sigh left Hakoda, like he was hoping this time Sokka would finally give in and tell him to turn the boat around. He wouldn't and they both knew that. Sokka would never let his people suffer so he could be happy. He would never let anyone suffer for him.
