WARNING: THIS STORY HAS YAOI! IF YOU DON'T LIKE TWO GUYS KISSING LEAVE! LEAVE NOW AND DON'T BOTHER ME WITH YOUR PETTY FLAMES!
Summery: Zuko and Sokka get trapped together in an ice crevice in the North Pole. Zuko is tired and Sokka is cold, how can they solve this problem? Read and find out
The bitter cold winds of the artic bit into his skin as his gloved hand reached out, sliding around the ice to try to find a hole in the thick frozen water so that he could have another place to grab onto. Sokka found one and gripped it the best he could but as his other hand went up to find another hand crevice his foot slipped and he let out a yelp as he fell
Though he only fell 3 feet and landed on his butt, then collapsed onto his back
"Ow..." Sokka groaned, that... had hurt
"You're such a moron" Zuko said looking unamused at Sokka's attempts to get out of the cavern they were in. The fire nation prince was sitting down, leaning against a cold ice wall
"Shut up" Sokka said bitterly as he sat up, rubbing his soar back, finally giving up on climbing out of the large crack in the ice which him and Zuko had fell into.
Sokka sighed and he slid to a wall of ice, opposite of Zuko, so he could lean his back against something. He couldn't believe he was stuck here with a fire bender, a FIRE bender! He wanted out of there, but he doubted anyone would find them soon...
Sokka gave a surprised yell as he clung to Appa's saddle, the flying bison flying as zig zag as he could, avoiding large fire balls that were being thrown at them by the fire nation ship, Zuko's ship.
"Aang!" Sokka yelled, his voice slightly freaked from the bumpy ride "Can't you make this fly any straighter!" the Avatar pulled sharply of the bison's reins to steer him away from another ball of fire, the whole bison tilting far to the right, making Katara and Sokka go with it, luckily though they caught the side of the saddle before they fell out. Momo chirped, terrified by the attack on them and was holding onto the air-bender's bald head, acting almost as a turban
"I'm trying!" Aang yelled back "But he's too tired to gain altitude!" and that was why the ship was so close on their tail. Appa had flown a long way before the ship had caught up to them, and even the thin ice of the North Pole didn't slow the ship down.
Another fire ball grazed under Appa's sensitive belly and he bellowed in surprise, twisting sharply to the left and all three humans, including a petrified Momo, screamed. Katara and Sokka tumbled to the other side; Katara caught the saddle edge...
Sokka missed
"Sokka!" Katara yelled as she saw her brother falling, falling down, down... falling straight for the fire ship bellow. Aang tried to turn the flying bison around but Appa was still too spooked to listen to anything the Avatar ordered him to do.
Sokka yelled as he fell. He seriously thought he was going to die; SPLAT! Right into the ice. He shut his, waiting for impact...
Sokka was pleasantly surprised to land on something relatively soft. Though he was not pleased to find out it was a person... well later he would laugh about it because of who he had landed on. Sokka opened his eyes, lying on the person. He hurt where his body had an impact with the floor, but he doubted he broke anything. He heard a curse and his eyes focused on just who he had landed on. Prince Zuko. And it was a very erotic position indeed with Sokka sitting up to straddled the other's hips, still sort of dazed from the fall, but he was soon fully alert when fire nearly licked at his face from Zuko. Sokka jumped up and away from the other teen; getting burned did not seem appealing to him
Soon Zuko was backing Sokka towards the edge of the ship with fire and non fire punches. Sokka used his boomerang to deflect the punches and did his best to not catch on fire. The guards stayed back from the fight since their prince seemed to have everything under control. Sokka soon felt the railing of the ship pressing into his back and Zuko looked ready to punch him again, but the ship gave a ship shaking rubble, it felt as though they'd run into something. The sudden jerk caused Zuko to stumble forward, into the other boy and they both fell off board, onto the ice below
The ship had been so focused on following the flying bison that the man at the stirring wheel hadn't noticed the thin ice tuning more solid and they had grazed against a large ice burg.
As for Zuko and Sokka, they had landed on the ice, but had slid on the slippery ice falling down into a cavern like crack in the ice which they found out was connected to many other cracks in the ice, which thankfully gave them air. They were under one very large cavern which had to be at least 5 stories up, which made it very hard to get out of...
And Sokka was quite frankly tired of trying to climb out, his arms ached from pulling himself up the wall and his back hurt from his failed attempts.
How long had they been there? Lets see, at least an hour should be counted for the two arguing, and another 15 minutes for a fight which only left poor Sokka with a couple non-serious first degree burns which he could cool down with pressing the injuries against the ice around him. They had stopped burning a long while ago though, so he didn't worry about them. And then there was a good amount of time where Sokka had spent trying to get out...
So there really was no real estimation of time that they'd been stuck there, but Sokka knew one thing-
...A stomach growl echoed from in the cavern...
He was hungry
"I'm hungry..." the brunet whined and pouted on his side of the corner
"No..." Zuko said "You're an idiot" Sokka turned a glare to him
"I am not!" he snapped back
"Yes you are, you were the one burning your energy out on climbing out of here" the fire-bender said and heard the other grumble curses, but didn't retort which made Zuko smirk, which made Sokka say louder
"Bastard"
Zuko just ignored him and decided to lie down, he was getting tired and even though they were below the ice where they were away from the wind of the north the cold was starting to get to them both. Sokka rubbed his hands over his arms to create some friction, but his butt was starting to get numb; he got up and started to pace. Zuko watched the other through half lidded eyes. The fire nation prince could circulate more heat with his bending, though he couldn't do it forever, it took concentration and a certain level of energy.
Zuko felt his own eyes drift shut, comfortably warm and tired it lulled him to sleep, but soon after he'd fallen asleep he was kicked sharply in the side, making him sit up glaring at Sokka who was looking down at him.
"What the hell was that for?" Zuko asked, immediately feeling cold so he began to circulate the heat around him again.
"You will die if you sleep" Sokka said wisely, his breath visible in the cold. Zuko snorted
"Well then why don't you let me die?" the fire-bender said "We're enemies, I didn't see why you'd want to keep me around" Sokka glared back at him
"Well yeah, it'd be a great way to finally get rid of you" Sokka said "But I'm not stupid enough to be stuck here alone in this freezing cold" Zuko smirked
"Well how stupid are you?" The fire bender asked. Sokka opened his mouth to reply, blinked, and then shut his mouth, glaring at the other teen
"Shut up!"
Zuko only smirked and watched at the fuming water tribe boy sat next to him, curling up and starting to rock back and forth.
"What are you doing?" Zuko asked, the movement of the other teen making him look like a cold puppy
"I'm freezing" Sokka hissed lowly at him "I'm trying to keep warm with circulation. How can you not be cold!" Zuko rolled his eyes, showing off a small flame in the palm of his hand, Sokka's attention drawing to the little fire immediately
"I'm a fire-bender for a reason" Zuko said simply. Sokka snorted, looking away as the flame went out in the prince's hand
"Show off" he grumbled. Zuko only smirked more, looking upward to the sky above which peeked in through the crack in the ice. Sokka thought for a minute. He was so cold. Sure he'd lived in the South Pole which was colder than here, but he'd spent all that time in the warm weather and had gotten use to it. It was cold! He didn't like being cold. Lucky fire-bender making his own heat so he was comfy cozy...
Sokka blinked, an idea striking, but he didn't move for a minute. No... But... no, no way... ... but he didn't want to freeze, just as much as he didn't want to get burned. His face flushed and he sighed. He couldn't believe he was going to attempt this...
Zuko felt his eye lids growing heavy again but heard Sokka get up so he opened his eyes again, glancing at the other teen before shutting his eyes again. He was really too tired to care... Until he felt a foreign weight in his lap; a warm foreign weight. Zuko's eyes snapped open to see Sokka waving slightly in front of him, looking slightly shy of his own boldness from straddling the other's waist
"What do you think you're doing?" Zuko growled angrily, yet didn't throw the other off or barbeque him. Sokka suddenly stopped being hesitant about it and looked sternly back at the other teenager
"You need to stay awake, and I need to keep warm" Sokka said logically, though his face was still red "We might as well kill two birds with one stone" Zuko glared at him a minute. He knew the other was right, and he was quite comfy with the other sitting in his lap. Despite the water tribe teen's claims of being freezing he was quite warm after a few moments in the fire bender's lap. The fire-bender's glare lessened and his mouth twitched into a smirk that was smug as hell
Sokka's face burned red and looked away from the other's eyes. Zuko didn't even have to say anything; he was just there, mocking him with that smug look. Sokka folded his arms, refusing to look back at the fire-bender. It was like Zuko was waiting for him to talk, say something embarrassing that he could turn back against him; and right now there were so many things that the prince could say right now.
But he didn't; instead Sokka felt arms snake around his waist, sliding him closer to Zuko. Sokka's eyes widened and he looked back to Zuko who was now only a couple inches from his face, still looking quite smug
"Keeping warm and awake, huh?" Zuko said deeply making Sokka panic slightly and blushing furiously "I think I can solve that" Zuko leaned in close, their lips only a fraction away from touching, though he stopped there. Sokka gulped, unsure of what to do. He could feel the other's body heat very clearly...
Just then Zuko pulled back leaving Sokka stunned, confused, and flustered. The fire-bender was teasing him! Now that just wasn't fair! Sokka glared at the other, giving an annoyed snort. Zuko just chuckled and his hands rested on the other's hips, loving the way the brunet would get all flustered and embarrassed. He leaned in again, their lips barely brushing though; it wouldn't even be considered a kiss but a rub of skin on skin, though it was enough to turn Sokka's face a bright tomato red. This time though, Zuko didn't pull back, fully intent on embarrassing the hell out of Sokka, which was fun.
Sokka froze entirely when the fire-bender's lips were fully placed on his the third, and being frozen had nothing to do with the cold, more like shock. The fire-bender's skin against is was so warm and inviting, better than the frigid air around them or the cold ice floor. Sokka found himself compelled to let the heat in, responding to the other's mouth, eyes shutting.
Zuko was pleasantly surprised that the water tribe teen was responding, and who was he to complain, he just pulled the other closer, wrapping his arms around Sokka's waist, slowly deepening the kiss. Sokka seemed to muffle something, but what ever it was, was lost when Zuko playfully slipped his tongue between his lips. Sokka's arms wrapped around the fire-bender's neck for support; not worrying about anything but the warmth that surrounded them both.
But after a minute they both began to gasp for air between lip movements, finally having to break for air. They both panted for a minute, getting fresh oxygen into their lungs. Zuko finally gave a response, he smirked. Sokka blushed and stuttered for an excuse for his actions
"I... I- You, That! That was- I..." Zuko just shut him up with another kiss, drawing him back into the warmth. Lest to say, his excuses were forgotten
"First chapter done; let's see if anyone will like it enough to review. I may have more, but only if people are interested, bye!"
