#loving Sukka thursday lmao

[stitch1830]

once again i am asking you to contribute to the sukka shrine

mkay how do they deal on the nights they're apart from each other? do they write love letters? do they avoid sleep because nightmares return when they don't have each other? do they wear each other's clothes? please let me know at your earliest convenience.

regards,

Blue blue blue. Happy to be of service.

I once read this fic where it described Suki’s voice as bells. Beautiful and melodic when she spoke to friends, loud and alarming when she gave orders. I thought that was such a perfect description of her voice. And I like to think that the days before they have to leave each other, Sokka just makes her talk all the time, in whatever tone of voice, because he just loves the sound of her voice. Sometimes it’s exhausting for the both of them to either keep up conversation or to answer silly questions, but they know it’ll be a while before they get to hear each other speak again. Often, they talk about battle strategy and itineraries before a trip because both of them could talk for hours about those subjects lol.

When they’re away from each other, they always say to not steal each others clothes because it’s not efficient to pack with an extra garment or whatever, but both Sokka and Suki steal a shirt or something of theirs to keep with them when they’re separated. They don’t wear it necessarily, but they appreciate the comfort it brings, and their clothes usually smell like each other… added comfort. I’d like to think that Sokka also had necklaces made for them, one with the Water Tribe symbol and one with the Earth Kingdom symbol. They’ll wear each other’s symbols when they’re away from each other and they don’t take it off until they see each other again.

Sokka has terrible nightmares about losing Suki, and Suki has trouble sleeping alone after her time in prison. So they are attached at the hip prior to their separation, and they have a lot of trouble sleeping when they are apart. They go to Iroh for any tea remedies, and sometimes that helps. Sometimes. But when they get back they spend like the first 24 hours together just sleeping and cuddling because they are downright exhausted and our warriors need their sleep. They don’t call Sokka “Snoozles” for nothing.

Sokka and Suki do write letters to each other, but they’re not extravagant or super lovey lovey. It’s usually quick messages about their day before they have to go back to work. But they never fail to send a message everyday (they have multiple FN hawks to help them out with this lol).

Those are my thoughts on Sukka time away… Let me know what you think though! Thanks for the ask B! Feel free to send more.

Sincerely,

Stitch
