Day 9: "Blue looks good on you"

You can also read here & here

Sokkla Saturdays 2022 ends! It was fun! Thanks to everyone who organized this event, I enjoy it every year! I've read some very nice and fun stories.

Sokkla Saturdays also give me the opportunity to write more which I am happy about.

My entry today is inspired by Kim Possible Season 3, Episode: Emotion Sickness. I had mixed feelings about this one honestly. Anyway, hope everyone who reads it enjoys it!=)) Thanks for the support!

"This will be one of my riskiest inventions. If one drop comes in contact with fire, the smoke will cause people who breathe it in transient emotion sickness."

The Mechanist put his new invention on the shelf and went to class. The Fire Nation Academy was full of students from all over the world. Since he was an important inventor for the Fire Nation, the Mechanist got a job as teacher.

One of the classes he was heading to was very famous for its different students. No week went by without a fight.

"Hey Azula, mind if I borrow your royal pencil?" Sokka leaned towards Azula.

"What?" she gave him a distasteful look.

"The one Lu Ten gave you. With the gold color."

"Royal ... ugh here just take it." Her best friend had a habit of giving things the weirdest names.

"Thanks!" Sokka patted her back.

This was the school they met for the first time as children. Since then, they were inseparable best friends.

"Good morning children." The teacher entered the room, and everyone stood up to greet him.

"Another boring day." Mai said silently.

"Yeah." Zuko replied. His place was next hers.

"Really Prince Zuzu?" Azula turned around and teased. "Your lover needs entertainment, not your agreement."

Sokka chuckled at Azula's words. Zuko just glared at his sister.

"Shhh, we're in class." Katara warned them.

"Shhh, who are you to remind us?" Azula replied. "You should turn back and entertain your lover too."

Sokka didn't like the word lover when it had a connection with his sister and a guy.

"He is not my! Ughhh!" Katara was annoyed. She never got along well with Azula. They were known for their daily fights.

After the lesson was over the Mechanist asked Azula and Katara to carry some books to his room. Entering the room Azula took notice of Katara's bad mood.

"Seems like someone is frustrated." she said.

Katara just rolled her eyes.

"Did your lover break your heart?" Azula asked.

"I already told you Aang isn't my lover." Katara said.

"Well, we all know how he looks at you. That poor boy fell hard for you." Azula said.

"Well, at least boys like me and have crushes on me. Where are your admirers?" Katara teased.

"I won't settle for something simple. There are no boys that are worth my precious time." Azula said confidently.

Their talk grew heated and one argument lead to another, which resulted in a physical fight. Azula used her firebending and the bottle with the new invention of the Mechanist exploded causing both girls to breath it in. Coughing they left the room.

"Are you two okay?" Jet was walking by and offered his help.

Azula stormed away leaving him alone with Katara on the hallway.

Sokka was sitting on the stairs of the garden chilling away break time. After paying a short visit to the classroom, Azula walked up to him.

"Hey, did you and Katara manage not to fight today?" he asked smiling.

"Where is my pencil?" Azula asked angrily.

"What? Ahh, you mean the royal pencil? I don't have it." Sokka replied. "Did you lose it?"

"Did I lose it? You took it away and never gave it back!"

"I'm sorry, I put it back on your side of the table."

Something snapped in Azula's eyes. Sokka took notice of it. The anger turned into sadness, and it didn't take long for Azula to start crying.

She crossed her arms over her knees next to him on the stairs and cried. Sokka was in complete shock. He knew his best friend since childhood. She would never ever cry because of a lost pencil.

"Hey Azula, don't cry I ... I can search the whole building if need be."

"It was a gift from cousin Lu Ten." she said sobbing.

Sokka gently held her fingers in a soothing motion. He felt bad but had no idea what to do.

Suddenly she stopped crying and stood up. Again, something snapped in her eyes.

"Are you feeling better?" Sokka asked confused.

"Better? I am wonderful! My best friend keeps losing my stuff! How can I not feel better." Azula said sarcastically, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Come now!" she took Sokka by his shirt and pulled him with her inside the academy building. Swearing she went to their locker.

"Woah Azula, do you really need to be this angry?" Sokka asked her.

"Yes!"

"I think you just ripped my shirt." Sokka examined his shirt.

Something snapped in Azula's eyes again. This time she smirked. Her eyes sparked when she looked at Sokka intensely. He was so so attractive. And oh, how handsome he was she thought.

Confusion was overloading Sokka's brain. She neared him and put her fingers on his chin.

"Blue looks good on you Sokka!" she said.

Sokka looked at his shirt. It was red right now. Was Azula hallucinating?

"As much as I enjoy this red, I want you to see in blue this evening when you dance with me at the school party." Azula told him.

"Uhm, okay." Sokka blushed deeply and scratched the back of his neck. What was happening to Azula? She was unusual.

The ring bell in that moment and Azula took his hand.

"Come now boomerang boy, we need to go to class." she said and urged him to walk with her.

Entering the chemistry lab, Azula needed to sperate from him to go to her group.

She put one hand over his chest looking lovingly at Sokka.

"I will miss you!" she said and unlinked their hands.

Mai and Sokka took eye contact just then. Sokka just shrugged his shoulders and Mai shook her head and turned to her work. It was Azula and Sokka after all, they were anything but normal.

After an hour of Azula being all flirting and giggles, she and Sokka walked to their lockers to gain their stuff.

Azula took Sokka's hand and played with his fingers.

"Will you pick me up in the evening Sokka?" she asked him smiling.

"Uhm, sure." he replied. Still not sure if he should ask what's happening with her. Something seemed off with her. Or maybe something was off with him?

Before he could give her behavior more thoughts Azula closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his, surrounding his neck with her arms. Sokka's eyes grew wide, and he gasped.

Azula was kissing him. His childhood friend was pressing her lips to his.

Jet was walking through the hallway in that moment and spitted his drink, when he saw them.

Sokka couldn't help but enjoy the feel of her lips and calmed after a while. Before he could do more, Azula broke the kiss.

"See you in the evening Sokka." she whispered against his lips and went out of the hallway.

"What... what's happening now?!" Jet asked perplexed.

Sokka with a wide smile and starstruck as he was, ignored Jet's shock.

Sokka walked to school before he went to pick up Azula. He forgot his bag in the morning. After Azula kissed him he felt like he was flying the whole day, his mind gone.

"Sokka, what are you doing here early?" Song approached him. She was checking if the plans for the the party that would take place in an hour went fine.

"Forgot my bag." he replied friendly.

"Shouldn't you be meeting Princess Azula?" she asked smiling.

Sokka turned to her. Knowing well what she was asking.

"Alright, maybe it's good you ask, it was eating me the whole day. I don't know who I should talk to honestly. So, Azula has... ehhmm a crush on me?" he explained.

Song raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me that way, she was different the whole morning. Flirted with me and took my hand. And then... she kissed me." he smiled at the last part. As weird as everything was right now, he still enjoyed the taste of her lips very much.

"And that's bad?" Song asked.

"I don't know. I mean, we're best friends but it's not like I never thought about it. I mean how could I not, she is... she is the most amazing woman and person!" he said.

"Listen to your heart Sokka and talk with her openly. This is the most important advice I can give you." Song said smiling. "I need to go check the kitchen now. See you guys later."

"Sokka! Sokka!" the Mechanist came rushing to him.

Where is Princess Azula and your sister?" he asked.

"At home." Sokka replied.

"Something horrible happened..." the Mechanist continued.

He explained that he found the glass bottle with his newest invention broken in his room. And that the last two people that were inside were Azula and Katara. After a short panic, he told Sokka to watch out for them both and that the effect should be go away soon.

Sokka was even more confused now. No, he was sad.

Busy as he was with his own thoughts and feelings, he didn't notice much with Katara at home. Though she brought Aang with her and acted very happy. The thought didn't make him feel better.

But Azula? Does that mean she didn't like him the way he thought she did?

"I have no idea what got into me. I was just very angry, then sad and then very happy for no particular reason." Azula told her brother on their way to school. She decided not to wait for Sokka. How must he feel now?

"I can't believe you kissed Sokka! How could you do that and then in the middle of the hallway!" Zuko said angrily.

Mai rolled her eyes and just walked beside the siblings.

"At least you could have told me yourself. If it wouldn't be for Jet to tell Mai, I wouldn't have known." Zuko said.

"Could you maybe shut up! It's enough now!" Azula replied back.

Sokka was walking out of the school building when their ways crossed.

Zuko stopped on his heels and growled at Sokka. Then he just walked past him.

"Sokka, I..." Azula started.

"I know, the Mechanist told me what happened." Sokka said. He explained her everything and Azula wanted to punch the man in the face.

"Well, I'm sorry for acting weird the whole day." she said.

"It's okay." Sokka said smiling. "I..."

"Azula, Sokka what are you waiting, get inside." Ty Lee ran into them and pulled Azula on the school grounds.

Sokka wanted to talk with Azula. But was it a good idea? He always enjoyed his time with her, but right now, after what happened, he felt like he needed to be closer to her than ever.

They got time didn't they? He would give Azula time to regain herself after what happened today. They spend most of their time in each other's company. They got time. He got time...

He watched Azula from afar, smiling. His feet started to move but suddenly he stopped.

Katara! Was she with Aang? How was she feeling.

"Sokka, come now." Azula yelled. "I have bad news for you." she said smirking. He already knew what she was going to tell her. The triumphant smirk on her beautiful face told her, he was about to find out his sister was in a relationship with Aang.

Still, he went to Azula's side and enjoyed his evening next to her. No matter what happened in his life, when he was next to her, everything was better. It's been always like this, and it would stay that way.
