If I had a nickel for every time I shipped a polycule consisting of a snarky and sarcastic yet very intelligent guy, a cool warrior girl who fights people in a long dress, and a traumatized dude with fire powers, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Sokka/Suki/Zuko is so real like this throuple works in all ways.
Sokka and Suki are hella obvious, she’s his first romantic interest and they’re adorable af. Zuko and Suki enemies to lovers prison-break but also she’s leading his security detail in the future therefore the classic knight x royalty and they both value honor. Sokka & Zuko enemies to lovers prison-break also AND parallels to each other being big brothers who have inferiority complexes about their sisters, and they trusts and encourage each other’s skills.
Zukki chaotic and badass throuple ftw

What if Zuko’s entire ship was composed of treasonous soldiers that were told that helping the prince capture the Avatar, they would be spared execution.
What if through them, Zuko learned the truth of the Fire Nation. The war isn’t to bring glory, but to establish control.
What if the mission of the ship changed a year after sailing.
What if Zuko was in the South Pole to find to Avatar to protect him. To help him against his father?

Lose Another One
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Summary: Sokka has lost more than he'd like to admit in his short life. He's also gained quite a bit in the last couple months, including a few things that he thought he would never have again. Gaining them means that he's also constantly at risk for losing them, and he's not sure that he could survive that. Warnings: Pregnancy, canon depictions of violence, mentions of miscarriage, graphic birth, underage sex, and trans male pregnancy Word Count: ~45,826 Ship(s): Sokka/Suki/Zuko
Archive link!
A/N: I wrote this fic almost a whole year ago now, and it's the only Avatar fic I've ever had the impulse to write. This is my first work on this fandom, so please be nice if the characters aren't 100% in character all the time. I'm also not the best at picking up on certain details so things might be a little messy, haha. I want to put in a little disclaimer before we get any further too: I am not a trans man (I'm genderfluid, AFAB) and I have never been pregnant/given birth. I'm drawing from my own experiences with dysphoria and the research I've done on the aforementioned topics. Now that that's out of the way, I do want to explain the polyamory here. Sokka and Suki are just kind of flirting with each other for the majority of this work, but they get together before Zuko admits his feelings and gets together with both of them. If you're looking for a total polyamory of them being squishy together and having kids together then this is not the fic for you! There's going to be a lot of stupid teenage angst, haha. Thanks for giving my fic a chance and I hope y'all like it! I just want to give a warning before we get into things, this fic jumps right into the smut. If you don't feel comfortable reading the smut then just skip to the next chapter  where there won't be any. Thanks for reading! Stay sissy and bitchy everyone <3
They had met up like this before, more times than either of them really wanted to mention.
Sometimes it was by accident, other times they had their groups purposefully follow each other and camped close together so that they could meet up like this more often. It had gotten more like the latter as time went on, but this time they had both ended up in Ba Sing Se by complete accident. 
Of course, Zuko had known that Sokka was going to go to Ba Sing Se so that they could petition one of the Earth Kings for help against the Firenation. However, the disgraced prince hadn’t planned on meeting up with them there when he reunited with his uncle. The last time that the two of them had met up was just outside of that desert town while Zuko was nursing the aforementioned old man back to health. He hadn’t known where he and Iroh were going to go as they began to wander around the Earth Kingdom as refugees, desperately trying to hide that they were firebenders despite the massive scar that Zuko was sporting on his face as evidence to their Firenation heritage (the dark hair and golden eyes didn’t help either).
Despite neither of them intending to meet up in the vast city, it had happened anyway. 
Sokka opened up the door in his room and slipped out through the window. He glanced around at the walls of the homes surrounding theirs. He could tell that there were people watching them, like there had been since they had arrived in the city. He hadn’t yet alerted the rest of his party to this fact because he wasn’t sure what the intention of the vigilance was for. They could just be waiting to see if there was any kind of slip-up from one of the Avatar’s companions, to see if any of them were Firenation spies that had somehow slipped through the gates of the city and were planning on ruining the Avatar’s whole attempt to end the Hundred Years’ War. Though based on their strange interactions with Joo Dee, he highly doubted that they actually cared for the Avatar or the war. The guards were probably watching them to make sure that they wouldn’t go around spreading news about the war to anyone that wasn’t supposed to know.
“Stupid,” he muttered under his breath, holding his boomerang a little closer to his hip as he began to walk down the thin alleyways between all of the houses. He stood a bit taller as he exited in the vast green that was in front of their abode, making sure that he didn’t look suspicious. Even if he wasn’t going to do anything incriminating, he really didn’t want the secret government agents following behind him to know that he was going to hook up with someone.
He ran a hand through his loose locks, reminding him that his hair tie was around his wrist, there he always kept it when he was sleeping. The wolf’s tale made it hard to actually sleep on his back comfortably like he preferred. 
Sokka slipped through more and more of the streets until he finally made his way down to the Middle Ring, out of the pretentiousness of the Upper Ring. He found that there seemed to be a couple more government agencies following him. “I suppose I do look a little bit suspicious,” he grumbled to himself. He had already made his way down through the remarkably grimier streets of the Middle Ring, and he could see the sign of the tea shop where it turned out that Zuko had been working with his uncle since the two of them had become refugees. He peeked his head around the corner, raising a brow as he saw a girl with dark hair and a green tunic leaving the tea shop and Zuko.
He couldn’t help the jealousy that boiled in his stomach at that. He and Zuko weren’t even friends, so it wasn’t like it would be cheating if the other teenager was hooking up with someone other than him. Despite that, he still felt the rage boiling underneath his skin. The Southern Water Tribe teenager rolled his eyes and opened the window that he knew led back into the room that Zuko was sleeping in. The two of them had agreed to meet up again tonight after they had run into each other the night before, just barely being able to resist fucking each other silly then. Even though it had left him more horny than he felt he had ever been in his entire life, he knew it was for the best. The last thing that he wanted was to give the Dai Li a front row show to his affair.
Sokka shut the window behind him, but not before shooting a glare up at the rooftops and nooks and crannies that the other buildings around the shop created. He was really getting sick of being watched. It was like he was a child again, running around with his first ever boyfriend before everything had gone down.
He quickly shook his head to distract himself from those thoughts before he got depressed or killed the mood for himself. Sokka glanced over the room to take in where the other teenager was staying. There wasn’t much around, which was to be expected since the two of them had been banished from the Firenation and on the run for some time. There were two blankets, a futon, and a pillow, creating a bed in the corner. A myriad of boxes with labels for different kinds of teas were stacked almost everywhere else, making the entire room feel even smaller.
He didn’t give more time to investigate further, to find out more about Zuko and who that girl might have been, when the door opened and the aforementioned teenager entered. His hand lit up with a crackling flame after a split second, launching towards Sokka.
The other teen held his hands up in a defensive action as he leaned back. “Woah, woah,” he said. “You invited me in here, but if it was for this and not what we normally do I’m going to bail. This isn’t the kind of soreness that I signed up for.”
“You,” Zuko grumbled, instead using the flame to light the couple of candles and lanterns that hung around the room to illuminate it. “I forgot that you were coming.”
“You were able to forget that I was coming after you almost fucked me in the alley the other day?” Sokka snorted. “I guess that girl really managed to capture your dick.”
Zuko shot him a look. He grasped the front of the other teenager’s tunic and brought them in for a rough kiss. Their lips smashed together, and soon their arms had flown around each other. Sokka wrapped his arms around Zuko’s shoulders and then immediately let his hands fly to the other man’s hair. It had finally grown out enough that he was able to tug at it like he had loved to do so much when the Firebender had the stupid ponytail back when they first met. Zuko’s arms wrapped around Sokka’s waist, moving down to his ass to squeeze there. He grabbed the flesh in big handfuls while moaning into the kiss. They nipped and bit at each other’s lips as they began to move back and forth in their desperation to figure out who was going to be on top this time.
When they had to break apart so that they could breathe, Zuko said, “I just went on a date with her so that I could get my uncle off my back. You seriously think that I could entirely forget about this?” he squeezed again, causing the teenager to let out a sharp moan.
“Your words, not mine. You managed to forget about me coming here,” he smirked, bringing them into another kiss.
The duo began to stumble back through the storage room-made-bedroom. They broke apart when they reached the bed in the corner so that neither of them would get injured as they toppled down onto it. Sokka flipped his head back so that it accentuated his cheekbones, which he knew drew the other man insane with lust. Zuko placed his hand on top of the other man’s shoulder to be able to get his knees to buckle and fall down to the ground.
The Water Tribesman did as the other teen wanted him to. He got down onto the bed, having already toed his shoes off when they began to move towards it. Zuko then got down next to him, his hands already moving to his lover’s belt to remove it. “Someone’s eager,” Sokka whispered, tilting his head back so that the darker-haired teen could kiss down his neck. 
“Well I haven’t seen you in a couple weeks. Uncle and I just moved into this tea shop, so I wasn’t really able to get any relief even without you,” he mumbled.
“So I guess tonight’s either going to take forever or be quick as a squall,” Sokka murmured. He brought their lips together for another intense kiss as he began to remove Zuko’s clothes as well. His calloused fingers expertly found the knots in the cloth belt and began to pull at all the right angles so that it easily fell away from him. It was different than what he normally wore, but still congruent with the Firenation style of tying that Sokka was basically an expert at undoing it. The fabric belt sank down to the ground behind Zuko when the knots were no longer holding it in place. Sokka only had to undo the two thread clasps up at his shoulder and one at his waist before his shirt was also coming undone. It revealed the perfect pale skin of the Firebender, dotted with scars and a birth mark just under the last rib on his life side. Zuko shrugged the rest of it off so that he was entirely topless.
Arousal spiked in Sokka’s gut as he was able to see each perfectly sculpted muscle that the other teen was sporting. He began to grow impatient with how many clothes that they were both still wearing. He grasped both ends of his belt so that he was able to get it undone in a second. Now that it was no longer being held together band of white cloth, the tunic slipped open, falling from his chest and down onto the futon beneath them. He bit his lip when he saw the way that the other teenager’s golden eyes flickered over his form. The first time that they had done this he had remained as clothed as possible, but apparently even though trans people weren’t spoken about much in the Firenation they were still fairly widely accepted (though still not as accepted in the Water Tribes, where they were actively celebrated as being chosen by the Spirits for something great). 
“Agni, just as chiseled as you were the last time I saw you,” Zuko murmured as he began to kiss just underneath Sokka’s jaw, where his chin met his neck. 
“Is that a compliment?” Sokka whispered. His last boyfriend, though he and Zuko weren’t even remotely near romantically involved, hadn’t been too big of a fan of his muscles, even going so far as to pressure Sokka into working out less despite chores needing to be done. 
Zuko let out a small hum. “It can be whatever you want it to be as long as we continue.”
The Water Tribesman rolled his eyes and then began to work on undoing the belt that kept his pants up. He was able to slip the seal leather through the loops and then discarded it off to the side. He then quickly moved to undoing the buttons at the front of his pants before he was able to slip them off as well. As soon as the other teen picked up on what was going on, always a little slow on the uptake, his hands were scrambling with his own pants. For a moment Sokka thought that he was just going to burn off the laces keeping them up as he struggled with the knot, but Zuko prevailed. He pushed his pants and underthings off with one fluid motion, tossing them towards the edge of the bed. His hands then flew forward, overtaking what Sokka had been doing. He tugged with a couple of swift movements to remove the dark blue cloth from his lover’s form.
Once they were both naked, the kissing resumed. Sokka was the one that ended up losing the dominance battle that they had initiated, as he was pushed down against the pillows at the head of the makeshift bed. He couldn’t find it within himself to complain as he felt the warm, practiced hands of the other teenager grasping at his hands and pushing them above his head. Zuko moved so that he was straddling the other teenager’s waist and pushing his hardened cock into the warm, dark skin of the other’s stomach. Their kisses turned from the dancing of lips to a mixture of teeth, tongue, and moans. They hadn’t even been together like this for long and yet they were already completely lost in each other.
“Are you going to fuck me or what?” the non-bender asked when they broke apart to breathe again. 
“You’re so impatient,” Zuko grumbled. By now, they had spent enough time together that he knew all the ways to rile Sokka up. He moved the kisses away from his lips, straying to his cheek for just a moment before he finally reached the jawbone. Once there, he began to bite and nip instead of just applying soft kisses to the flesh. The trail continued until he found the point where Sokka’s neck and jaw met. He bit hard into the flesh there, worrying it between his teeth. When he pulled away he sucked as hard as he could on it to leave a stark mark against the otherwise perfect flesh.
“Mm, ah, Zuko,” he whined, throwing his head back against the pillows so that his chin was pointed upward. He bucked his entire body up so that his skin rubbed against the teenager above him in a way that sent goosebumps throughout them both. “You’re, Spirits, lucky that I wear a collared shirt and can cover that up.”
“I know this is the only way to get you really turned on when we have to go fast like this,” he responded dismissively.
Sokka snorted. “I was thinking about you all night and all day, I think I’m wet enough.”
The other teenager didn’t respond, continuing to work on Sokka’s neck until there was definitely a hickey splayed across his warm brown skin. Zuko then pulled back, intense yellow eyes meeting softer blue-gray ones. Sokka was always amazed when they had moments like this. He never got to see Zuko so vulnerable when they were outside of situations like this, and despite himself he couldn’t resist drinking in the look every time.
“You still clean?” Zuko asked as he reached down to his cock, wrapping one hand around it. 
“You’re the only one that I’ve had time to fuck. Are you?” Sokka asked, raising a brow at the other boy.
“Of course. I told you that I just went on a date with her to get my uncle to stop bothering me about making friends,” he grumbled. He leaned back down and captured their lips in another ferocious kiss.
Sokka quickly grew impatient waiting for the Firebender to hurry up and give him what he wanted. He wrapped one leg around Zuko’s waist and an arm around his shoulders. He placed his hand on the banished prince’s shoulder before he quickly pushed them up and over while using his foot to get leverage. He then rearranged them so that the other teenager was lying splayed out beneath him, hands now draped above his head and his eyes wide. “Is this a fight now?” he questioned.
“No, I just figured that I needed to do the work this time since apparently it’s been long enough that you’ve forgotten how,” the Water Tribesman replied with a mischievous smirk. He was straddling the other man’s hips so that his ass was pressed up against the teenager’s engorged cock. He rocked back against it in such a way that his cunt peeked up from where it had been pressed to the muscles on Zuko’s stomach and the wetness trailed over the hot skin.
The banished prince moved so that he was sitting up and the other teenager was then in his lap. He grasped the back of Sokka’s head, tangling scared hands in long locks as they began another one of their ferocious kisses. The taller teenager placed his hands on Zuko’s shoulders and then used that as leverage to raise himself up. The firebender quickly picked up on what Sokka was doing, wrapping an arm around his waist to support him while the other hand moved once again to his cock. 
As the head of the member breached into his folds, Sokka broke the kiss and threw his head back with a sharp mewl of pleasure. He sunk down onto it more and more, relishing in the pleasure that it shot throughout his system. He could feel almost every individual vein and crevice that the cock held as it pushed deeper and deeper into his cunt. He felt so wonderfully full, and wet, and loose.
“That’s the hottest thing I’ve seen in a long time,” Zuko whispered, leaning back a little bit as he was supported with one hand. His other hand was slowly trailing up Sokka’s body as the other teen adjusted to the length inside of him. The Water Tribesman opened his eyes slightly and glanced down as he watched the hand travel up from his bush, over his abs and then just barely to the scars underneath his pecs.
“What? Me finally getting your cock wet?” Sokka teased as he came out of the initial rush of pleasure. He moved his hips up and then dropped down the rest of the way again. This caused them both to let out sharp, pleased noises. 
“Yeah, yeah, whatever, just keep doing what you’re doing,” Zuko mumbled as he reached up and brought them in for another kiss. Sokka was able to move his hips a small bit in the position that they were in. He would drag the cock against his most sensitive wall every time he raised his hips up and then plunge back down so that the head hit the opening to his cervix. When they broke apart, he mumbled, “You gotta stay quiet. This may be a nicer house than the one we were in before but Uncle is going to be able to hear us.”
“You expect me to be able to stay quiet when your dick is this big and this deep inside of me?” he asked, a bit incredulously.
“If you want to cum, then, yes,” Zuko snapped back.
Sokka groaned quietly but then kept his mouth shut as much as he could for the rest of the time. Living in tiny huts with barely any privacy meant that he had learned from a very young age how to keep sounds as silent as possible. 
The two of them continued to move together, now separated at the mouth so that could happen a bit easier. Sokka was able to raise himself up a bit higher now and Zuko was able to thrust his hips up and meet the dropping teen before he got all the way down. Despite themselves, they both began to let out a little noises of pleasure as they chased their orgasms.
Zuko wrapped himself around the taller teenager and bit into the skin of his shoulder to muffle the noises he so desperately wanted to make as his orgasm exploded inside of him. The Water Tribesman swallowed down a gasp as he began to buck his hips back and forth to stimulate his clit. He could feel the massive member inside of him twitching and spewing cum to cover his insides with sticky white. “Zuko!” he cried as the pleasure began to wind a tighter and tighter ball inside of his gut before it exploded.
Pleasure shot through is every vein in his entire body. He tightened up and then loosened so that he felt like a puddle on top of the other teeanger. Zuko’s hands were already lazily brushing through his locks as they fell back onto the bed together. Every so often his hips would buck forward to chase that last little bit of pleasure that was still throbbing through his cunt.
It couldn’t last forever, though, no matter how much he wanted it to. The Water Tribesman slowly lifted himself from the other teenager. “Do you want to meet up like this again tomorrow night?” he asked sleepily. He knew he had to stay awake and coherent long enough to get back up to the Upper Ring and into his house. 
Zuko glanced at him, watching as the other began to collect his clothes and dress. “Sure.”

In your eyes
Pairing: Zuko x Firebender!reader
Summary: When Zuko falls for a member of the gaang, he fears that his mistakes may ruin his chances with them.
Word count: 2.3k
A/n~ I think this is gender neutral? I don't remember putting any specific pronouns, but correct me if i'm wrong. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
Funnily enough, the first time you met Zuko was at the northern water tribe. Two fire benders surrounded by waterbenders during a full moon. Not exactly an ideal situation for any firebender, but you were welcome, whereas Zuko was not.
You were running as fast as you could, your legs carrying you in a speed you didn't know was even possible. Katara was in trouble and the moon was slowly disappearing from the sky, fire nation soldiers were everywhere, the water benders were struggling with the loss of the moon and you were terrified.
"Katara!" You yell to her as you get closer to the girl. She was fighting a boy you had never seen before.
You jump on the boy's back and hold your hand to his throat, heating your palm up slowly.
"I would choose my next move carefully if I were you." You say as Katara puts her own hands to her neck and moves them around trying to mimic an explosion.
Suddenly, the boy moves his hands to your face and you feel a burning swipe across your eyebrow. You let go of him and move your hands to your face, a searing pain on your eyebrow almost making you drop to your knees. Katara rushes to your side in a panic,
You see the boy grab Aang and run off before you could do anything.
"Who was that?" You ask Katara angrily.
"Zuko."
***
Zuko followed you and the gaang around for weeks, those weeks turning into months. And the more he saw you, the more he wanted to see you again.
Unfortunately for him, the more you saw him, the more you wanted to smash his head through a window. But every couple has their problems.
You held a very strong grudge towards him, seeing as your eyebrow had scarred and you now had a line going through your eyebrow and over your eye. It made you angry every time you looked in the mirror.
Unbeknownst to you, Zuko felt absolutely terrible for what he had done. He didn't mean to scar you, he would never wish his fate on anyone. Not even his greatest enemy, which lamentably, happened to be you at the moment.
***
The next memorable time that you saw Zuko was in the crystal cave. You had both been thrown in there as a punishment and you were freaking out. Aang, Katara, and Sokka needed you.
You started hitting the walls, throwing as much fire power at it as possible, you even broke a crystal into one big sharp shard and slammed it against the door repeatedly, but it was no use.
"There's no point in doing that." Zuko says, looking at you with his blazing golden eyes. "We aren't getting out until they want us out."
You just scoff in response, unsure of why he was even talking to you in the first place.
He looks at you when he hears your scoff, "You don't have to be rude."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt your feelings by being mean?" You mock him in a baby voice, causing him to roll his eyes.
"What's your problem?" Zuko asks, looking you up and down with pinched eyebrows.
"What is my problem? You're my problem, Zuko. You've been hunting my friends and I for months, you've hurt us -or attempted to- more times than I can count, you gave me this," You point to your scar, making him flinch, "And you have the nerve to ask me what my problem is?" You let out another scoff and turn around, giving him your back.
Zuko looks down at his hands, not knowing what to say. He watches as you light each one of your fingers up like a candle to keep yourself distracted.
He walks over and sits next to you, doing the same with his fingers.
You look at him and roll your eyes.
He smiles softly to himself. You haven't moved away from him, yet.
***
If there had ever been even a sliver of you that had liked him in that cave, it was completely gone now. He had betrayed you that night in the cave and it hurt you.
It was the day of the eclipse and you were running through the underground tunnels, looking for Sokka. As you were running you bumped into something, falling hard to the ground.
"Ow!" A familiar voice huffed as the other person made contact with the ground.
"Zuko?"
He looks up, his hair falling into his eyes. You notice his eyes widen and light up, but just as he goes to say something you lunge at him.
With your hands around his neck, you yell at him through gritted teeth. "I trusted you!"
"I know, I'm sorry." He barely gets the words out, gasping and clawing at your hands.
You let go of him and slam him into the ground hard.
"I swear to the spirits, if you ever try to hurt my friends again I will kill you with my own two hands. No bending, no help, just me and you." You say and walk away to go find Sokka.
Zuko sits there for a moment replaying what you said in his head over again. A small smile spreads across his face and he jumps up, running after you.
***
"You have got to be kidding me!" You yell at your friends. They were letting Zuko, the guy that had tried to kill you and capture Aang on more occasions than you could count, into the group.
"Everyone deserves a second.....or 100th chance, Y/n." Aang says, placing a hand on your shoulder as Zuko takes a step towards you.
You clench your fist defensively, making him put his hands up in defense as he takes another step forward.
"I get why you wouldn't trust me, but I've changed." He says, taking one of your hands in his. You pull away with a hollow laugh and walk away.
"Fine, let this psycho join us. I don't care." You say as you disappear behind a wall.
Zuko looks down with a sigh. "Challenge accepted..." He says under his breath as he thinks of ways to win you over.
***
Two days after Zuko joined the gaang, you were attacked. A pack of firebenders found you, attacking the group. You all paired together, Sokka with Toph, Katara with Aang, and you with Zuko. You had begged Toph to pair with you but Sokka stole her, leaving you with the one person you did not want.
You were back to back, fighting off the soldiers when another fleet arrived. The gaang chose to run, not wanting to be captured. You stayed behind to fight off the rest of the soldiers so the others could get away.
"Y/n come on! Hurry!" Sokka yelled for you as you were running after Appa. A soldier dived at you and their hand grabbed at your ankle, making you tumble to the ground.
"Go!" You yell and Aang pulls Appa out of there. You kick your foot back at the soldier, successfully kicking them in the face. You run off into the forest, You can hear the soldiers running after you as you twist through the trees.
You feel something grab your arm and pull you toward them. Looking up, you see Zuko. He's not looking at you, instead looking at the soldiers running around looking for you. You notice that he pulled you into a clearing hidden by trees and bushes. He places his hand over you mouth as you go to say something.
His adams apple bobs as he swallows harshly, listening and watching for any signs that the soldiers might be headed towards the two of you. After no signs, he looks down at you, finally making eye contact.
His golden eyes shine as he looks at you and he smiles softly.
"Thank you." You say quietly, not wanting to be too loud.
He nods.
"Do you still hate me?" He asks with a barely there smirk.
You shake your head. "I don't think I ever really hated you." He smiles at you. "I just strongly disliked you. It was a very strong dislike. Very strong."
"Okay, I get it."
You laugh softly at his dismissiveness of the subject.
"Do you think I'm still a bad guy?" His voice is quiet. Barely a whisper, but you hear it.
You look at him, he's looking down at the grass, his fingers are playing with each other out of habit, his hair is fallen over his face and covering his eyes. You never quite realized how pretty he was.
"Of course not-" You begin to tell him your answer, but your words are interrupted by yelling.
The two of you turn your heads in the direction of the noises and see your friends running to you.
"There they are!" Katara calls to the others as she makes eye contact with you.
Zuko lets out a frustrated breath at the interruption, but he gets up and dusts off his clothes, offering you his hand.
***
The days after that moment in the woods would replay in your mind every night before you would sleep, every morning when you'd awake, every meal, every training session with Aang and Zuko, every group meeting, every day all day.
You had started watching Zuko more than you would care to admit. The way he tried to make up for all of his past mistakes always seemed to put a smile on your face. He helped Katara in the kitchen when he could, he always made time to talk about weapons with Sokka, he always played games with Toph and Aang, and he was especially trying to make it up to you. Though you didn't notice that part.
He always pulled your chairs out for you, he helped teach you how to control the lightning within you, he even got you flowers one time. Unfortunately the flowers backfired and Appa ended up eating them, sneezing petals for a week.
You were currently training Aang on the beach with Zuko. The sun was blazing down on your back and your cotton shirt was absorbing all of the heat, making you sweat more than you would normally.
You walk over to where Katara, Toph, Sokka, and Suki are sitting, sipping their little coconut drinks as they watch you and Zuko beat the arrows off of Aang.
You take both ends of your shirt and pull it over your head, leaving you in your shorts and bathing suit top. When you walk back over to the boys you notice how red Zuko's face is.
"You alright over there, Z?" You ask, worried that he might be overworking himself in the heat.
His head snaps to look you in the eyes, his face going an even deeper red.
"Y-yeah, heh. Why wouldn't I be?" He looks around, avoiding looking at you with everything in him.
You decide to ignore his weird reaction to your words and go back to teaching Aang.
"This one is a partner move. So, I'll demonstrate with Zuko and then when you understand how to do it, you can try with him." You explain as you walk over to the spluttering and red as a beet, boy.
You move his hand to your waist and his other in yours, your own face heating up a bit at this position. You then kick his own foot out from underneath him and flip him over your shoulder. You light your hand ablaze and put it near Zuko's neck like one would a sword.
"I thought you said this was a partner move," Zuko groans out.
"Yeah, good guy and bad guy. Partners." You say with a smirk.
"You can do that, right Aang?"
Aang nods his head excitedly.
After another hour or two of flipping Zuko over your shoulders, you all sit down around a camp fire on the beach for dinner. You and Zuko offer to collect the plates and take them back up to the house.
"You did good in training today." He says as he takes the plates from your hands and places them on the counter.
You let out a small laugh.
"Well I would assume I did considering the amount of times I was able to flip you."
He rolls his eyes and you take this moment to admire him.
His hair falls in perfect strands across his forehead, his golden eyes reflect the light of the setting sun peeping through the window, his skin is soft as you place your hand on his.
He looks at you confused when he feels your touch.
"You did good, too." You say softly.
He smiles at this, looking down at your hand that was still on his.
"How do you see me?" He asks, breaking the peaceful silence.
"What do you mean?"
"What am I in your eyes?"
You think for a moment, pondering how your answer.
"You're a person who has made many mistakes." You begin, making his shoulders droop a little bit. "But you are also a person trying to make up for all of those mistakes. You're a kid, a kid who has been through a lot. Yet, you're still sweet and funny and kind and loyal. You try to hide how you feel, but I can still see every emotion you have in your actions. You're trying. And for that, I think you are amazing. That is who you are in my eyes."
He doesn't say anything for a moment, making you feel nervous about how he would react.
With a million thoughts racing through his mind, he decides not to say anything. You said that his actions meant more, so he spoke with an action.
He gently placed his hand on your cheek and leaned in slowly, giving you time to pull away at any second. But you don't.
His lips meet yours in a soft kiss, his hair tickling your cheek. You smile into his kiss making him smile as well. Your arms wrap around his neck and you pull him closer as he pulls away from the kiss. You rest you foreheads against each other, catching your breath.
"I think I like you." He says, making you laugh.
"Oh shut up." You say and lean in for another kiss.

Something that I think ppl who ship both sukka and zutara don't acknowledge enough is the fact that poor Hakoda met both his kids' future spouses on the same day, in the same place and that place just happened to be prison.
