Second in a collection of drabbles for the Sokkla Saturdays – Drabble Challenge
At least Katara
wasn’t screaming death threats or trying to break down the door
anymore. Either she had given up or Aang, Ty Lee, and Suki had
finally managed to drag her away, whichever, Zuko didn’t know or
care. It was quiet.On his right, his
mother and stepfather. His mother kept making fish faces, about to
say something but unable to voice her thought. Ikem just stared. To
his left Iroh, working on his fourth or fifth cup of tea since the
announcement.The two who had
gaily made said announcement not minutes before? Stood on the other
side of the desk, arms wrapped around each other kissing and eww …
Woof-woof? Sparkles? Zuko clapped his hands over and dropped his head
onto the table.“Just a dream. A
dream,” he told himself, then lifted his head.STILL THERE. Gazing
into each others eyes as if no one else existed.Sokka. Azula.
“HOW DID THIS
HAPPEN????” Zuko screamed, startling everyone.Sokka, without
turning his gaze from his beloved, explained; “Well, you did tell
me to keep an eye on her. I kept two. Two ears as well. I liked what
I discovered.”Azula giggled. “My
prince,” she said.
