Almost Betrayal

Chapter Three: Ideas

------------------------

"Mm…What the…"

Sokka awoke three days later with a start. He shrugged out of the blanket and tossed it aside, only to have to fight back a low groan that welled up in his throat. Zuko's head was between his legs, his tongue flicking across the head of his erection. His eyes shut tight for a moment, and he bit his knuckles, trying so desperately hard not to cry out. Zuko looked up at him and smirked, his shaggy mess of dark hair in his face. He crawled panther-like up Sokka's body, straddling him, and then delicately nipped at his bottom lip. Sokka cupped his face with both hands and placed a slow, soft kiss on his lips.

"Zuko…What were you doing that for? You could've given me a heart attack."

"Imagine how it must've felt having that pressed against my thigh half the morning."

Sokka really did blush this time. "Yeah, well, you could've just woken me up!"

"Dream about something good?"

"Nothing…Just…"

"Got a girlfriend back home or something?"

"Yeah…Uh…Sorta. You have one too. I should know, that's where you spend half the day."

"Mai's good," Zuko blinked slowly. "Very good."

"So….uh…You going to finish what you started?"

"Depends," Zuko smirked, ghosting his hand over Sokka's erection. "You going to tell me where the Avatar is?"

"Mm…Maybe," Sokka murmured, and then leaned over to nip at his neck.

"I knew you'd break," Zuko chuckled.

'Shows how much you know,' Sokka thought to himself, with a sly smile.

For the last few days Sokka had been the perfect servant. He obeyed Zuko's every command. Sometimes even when he really didn't want to. Every spot in the prince's wing was cleaned to shining perfection. Sokka even did Zuko's laundry, combed his hair, and shined his boots. He was always grateful every time Zuko would return with a plate of food for him. Though he noticed the meals were usually better if Sokka did anything Zuko particularly liked that day. He'd even gotten a nice desert when he scrubbed the floor naked, and didn't flinch when Zuko felt him up. Sokka figured, if he did what the prince liked, gained his trust, all without divulging Aang's whereabouts, he'd be able to escape in one piece. Despite having a so-called "steady girlfriend", Zuko seemed more than wiling to mess around with his servant. Sokka decided to use this to his advantage.

Zuko had grown accustomed to having Sokka around. The more he was with him, the more the other teen appealed to him. Sokka was humorous, even though Zuko chose not to react to it. He was sarcastic, and not in the snippy way Mai was. When it came to Mai, Zuko enjoyed being with her, but the fact she wasn't really putting out was starting to get to him. If she really cared about him like she said she did, she should respect the fact he has his needs. If she was going to get him all riled up, the least she could do was finish the job. He decided, if he wasn't going to get what he liked from his girl, he was going to get it from other means. Sokka was the perfect candidate. He was pretty good at it too. When Zuko came in to find him scrubbing the floor all bare and exposed, and didn't even protest when he ran his hand along his spine and groped his hip, he knew this was the way to go. That night he put together the best meal he could for Sokka, and hoped it'd give the man a clue.

There was a knock on his door.

"Zuko?" It was Mai. "Azula invited Ty Lee and I to a hanging downtown. You want to come?"

"Shit," Zuko cursed under his breath. He looked at Sokka. "Stay here. Do whatever. Don't leave until I get back."

"You're going with her?"

"No, but she takes forever to shoo away."

Zuko got up, straightened his clothes, and made his way to the door. "Coming."

Sokka watched as Zuko opened the door and stepped out, and then made sure it was shut all the way behind him. It was barely a few minutes before the young warrior heard a loud thud against the wall outside, and then soft moans, both feminine and masculine. He glanced around the room, ran his fingers through his hair, and examined his cuticles; just about anything he could think of to entertain himself that wouldn't require getting up. Suddenly, he got an idea. Zuko was going to "interrogate" him some more. Which was actually the prince's fancy name for badgering him with the same question over and over again. Perhaps he could find a way to distract him and turn the tables. Sokka kicked his pants off and tossed them to the floor then quickly removed his shirt, leaving him bare and exposed. He lay back down on the bed and pulled the covers up enough to hide the lower half of his body. There was something freeing about being the seducer that made him feel quite smug.

A few minutes later, Zuko returned, face flushed and out of breath. Sokka could see the start of an erection forming in the prince's trousers. Zuko groaned, rubbing his temples, and sat on the edge of the bed. Smirking, Sokka took his right hand and began to gently massage his palm. This startled Zuko, who looked at him with much confusion. Suddenly, he noticed that Sokka's shirt was missing and on the floor. He glanced down at his bare stomach, then up at his face, single brow raised. Sokka leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"What are you doing…?" Zuko asked quietly.

"Isn't this what you want?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's weird, but you seem to like me better naked…Which says all kinds of creepy things about you I don't even want to know."

"Well, you could be considered mildly attractive."

"Mildly? More like drop-dead handsome. I was the best looking warrior in my tribe. All the ladies wanted me."

"You mean a bunch of old women and toddlers?"

"There were girls too."

"Your sister?"

"Could you be any more of a jerk?"

"Hey! This jerk feeds you and lets you sleep in his bed, as opposed to starving on the floor like the worthless wretch you really are."

"Nice, Zuko. I feel so complimented by you."

Zuko lowered his head and started assaulting Sokka's neck with his teeth and tongue. Slowly, yet roughly, he bit into the sensitive flesh and flicked his tongue across it. He bit and sucked from just under his ear down to where his neck and shoulder met. Sokka made a strangled noise and shut his eyes tight, letting out a deep breath with a hiss. He slid his hand down to between Zuko's legs and gently squeezed the bulge that formed there. Zuko made a low, soft sound, too high-pitched for a groan, it was almost a whimper. Sokka's skin was salty from sweat, but he liked the way it tasted. Gasping, Sokka fell back and pulled Zuko on top of him, letting himself be straddled in the process. Zuko picked his head up just long enough for him to move up and kiss him on the mouth instead. Instinctively Sokka's tongue met the prince's in his mouth and he groaned. As they kissed, Sokka ran his hands down along Zuko's back and he grabbed at his backside. Making low, aroused noises, Zuko started grinding his hips against the boy he had pinned beneath him, loving the way his body felt.

"Hey Zuko…" Sokka murmured when Zuko parted from the kiss to nip at his earlobe.

"…Yeah?"

"I'm getting…" Sokka's face flushed in embarrassment and he bit his lip.

"Why should I help you?" Zuko continued his assault on Sokka's ear.

"…I could give you another hint."

"Really now?"

"…Yeah…Besides…Said yourself…Mai's no good…"

"Tell me what you want. Beg for it, and I might just take it into consideration."

"Your mouth…On me again…"

Zuko smirked. "I don't know…"

"Please?" Sokka's eyes widened. He hardly realized just how aroused he really was until he felt the throbbing.

Zuko started tugging down the blanket, his face flushing with arousal when he saw Sokka was indeed completely naked. "You going to give me that hint?"

"Well…You see…"

"Hm?" The prince circled his hand around the base of his erection and lowered his head to flick his tongue across the tip.

"Planning…" Sokka let out a strangled gasp, really not wanting to divulge too much information, yet still wanting Zuko to get him off. "…An invasion….Probably closer than you think…"

"Thank you."

Zuko took the head of his member into his mouth and sucked on it softly. Sokka groaned and arched his back, grabbing Zuko's hair. Feeling pleased with himself, Zuko settled on slow, tantalizing licks from base to tip, each one eliciting a sharp gasp from his little slave. The way Sokka was squirming and groaning, hair fanned out around his face, he really did look very feminine. For some reason, this really turned Zuko on and he took as much as he could of the boy's length into his mouth. Sokka gripped tightly onto his hair and thrust his hips, crying out softly. He had never gotten head before. Certainly not like this. It wouldn't be long before…

"Z…Zuko….going to…"

As Sokka came Zuko continued sucking on him, letting it wash down his throat and coat his lips. He looked up at Sokka with a feral grin and licked his lips clean. Sokka's face was red, his body still shaking with the aftershocks. Zuko crawled back up his body so he could look him in the eye. Sokka looked back up at him and smirked, looking like the sexiest thing Zuko had ever seen. Smirking back at him, he leaned down and bit hard into his throat, enough to leave a mark that would last days.

"So…Mai's not so great, huh?" Sokka ask quietly when Zuko laid down and settled beside him.

"She believes in waiting until marriage."

"Sucks for you then."

"I could make you return the favor to me right now."

"No thanks. I'd rather wait until after I've eaten. Your foul taste might make me lose my appetite."

There was a long moment of silence before Zuko finally asked, "So…How were you caught?"

"…Well," Sokka let out a sigh. "I was in the woods, scouring a trail. Trying to check out the area, you know? Make sure there was nothing dangerous. Then, I was ambushed by some archers. They had me cornered. Finally, Azula came out with a couple of Dai Lee agents. They cuffed me and she dragged me here."

"Yu Yan Archers. Zhao had tried to use them to capture the Avatar before."

"I was in that cell for a couple of days before you got me out."

There was another very long moment of silence. "…Can I tell you something?"

Sokka blinked. "Sure…what?"

"Mai doesn't seem to understand this," Zuko sighed. "Recently I discovered that I'm related to the previous Avatar. Uncle believes this means I shouldn't be fighting with my father. I think he's right…Lately things just seemed wrong. Like a lie. Imperfect. Even Mai wasn't what I expected…"

"Wait…Wait…You're related to Aang?"

"Sort of…"

"So he's like…your grandfather?"

"Great-grandfather."

"This is hilarious! Think about all the things the kid owes you."

"Yes, really, it's terribly funny." Zuko rolled his eyes. "I just confided something I haven't even told Mai and you're having a laughing fit. Fantastic."

"Come off it, Zuko," Sokka smirked. "If you don't like it here, then why stay?"

"My father's finally accepted me…I can't just turn my back on him…"

"Right, because we all know fathers who accept their sons burn half their face off."

"You don't understand! It was to teach me a lesson!"

"In what? Child abuse?"

"I was disrespectful!"

"What did you do? Insult his footwear?"

"I don't even know why I'm telling you all this!" Zuko buried his face in his hands, frustrated with both Sokka and himself.

"Because you realized everyone else here are nothing more than mindless drones and I might be someone who could help you?"
