Sokka was surprised by the other teen's sudden attack. He didn't think that Jet was really this insane. "Stop!" he yelled trying to get the older teen off of him. He couldn't believe that he was so weak that he couldn't even get the other boy off of him.
"Oh come on Sokka, don't let me the only one to enjoy it," he whispered into Sokka's ear. "Get off of me!" Sokka couldn't do anything as his hips were shoved into the wall and Jet's hands slowly made their way up his shirt after he had untied his belt.
"I've never liked you, but you are still pretty cute," Jet whispered ripping off his tunic so that the night air sent shivers up Sokka's back. He cried out in surprise when Jet started to place kisses down his neck.
"Sokka!"
Sokka jumped in surprise from someone yelling his name. He looked around and was surprised to see Aang looking back at him worried. "Sokka are you okay?" he asked quietly.
"Yeah, fine," Sokka panted wiping away the sweat that had collected at his forehead. "Just a bad dream, we better get back to sleep," he said trying to reassure the young monk. Aang nodded a little before he laid back down on the ground.
Sokka hated his nightmares that included that horrible night. The worst part was that after they had left them he had no clue what happened to Jet. It had been over a year since then and he was still afraid of the other teenager. He tried to relax when he looked down at his little son.
He hadn't know it at the time but he soon found out that some water tribe men inherited the ability to have children. The birth had been the most painful thing in his life but his son was so worth it. Tao was only about a year old but Sokka couldn't stand to be away from him for more then a few minutes. It had been even worse when he was born. Sokka had gone paranoid that Jet would take the baby and hadn't let Tao out of his sight for a second. That had slowly faded but there was still a bit of that fear in the back of his mind.
Tao stirred in his sleep a little bit from all the noise but his eyes still remained closed. Sokka sighed in relief. Once they woke up the toddler it took hours to get him to fall back asleep. He had always been very hyper, even worse then his twelve year old 'uncle' Aang.
Sokka laid back down and pull his sleeping bag closer around him and his son as he tried to fall asleep. He slowly stroked the dark brown hair that his son had just started to grow. "I love you," he whispered softly before closing his own eyes and tried to get back to sleep but without the nightmares this time.
Sokka woke up the next morning to a wave of water nearly drowning him. "What was that for?" he yelled angrily.
"You need to wake up!" yelled Katara. Not at all sympathetic to the fact that Sokka had been woken up and nearly drowned only seconds before. Sokka grumbled angrily as the other started to load up Appa.
It took Sokka a second to realize that Tao wasn't with him. "Tao?" he asked looking around desperately. "Daddy!" He looked back and saw Tao playing in the grass next to Appa laughing at his father's antics. Sokka smiled and quickly got out of his wet sleeping bag so that he could run and pick Tao up.
Tao laughed and when he saw his father running at him, he stood up and ran away making his father work at catching up with him. "Tao, be careful!" yelled Sokka trying to stop his son before he went too far into the forest. The group had been going through these kind of forests for a while now and Sokka knew that there were hundreds of things that could hurt his son. The worst possible scenario, of course, being fire benders.
Tao tripped over a branch and landed hard. Sokka sprinted to him as soon as he heard his son's cries. "What's wrong?" he asked when he picked Tao up carefully.
"My...knee," he said between sniffles. "Oh, let's go see if aunt Katara can make it better," he said walking back to where the group was waiting for them. Tao was definitely the adventurous type and was always getting hurt no matter how careful Sokka tried to be with him.
The two of them walked back to Aang and Katara who were ready to get going. They wanted to get as far away as possible because lately Zuko had been getting way too close for comfort. Only yesterday Appa had nearly been shot down by the insane jerk prince.
"Hey, hurry up," Katara called finally seeing her brother and nephew coming out of the woods. "We're coming, we're coming," huffed Sokka as he got up onto Appa and set Tao down next to him.
"So where are we going now?" asked Sokka as Appa lifted up into the air and they were once again flying closer to their destination, the North Pole. "I know this city near a huge lake, it's called Volny," explained Aang.
"While we practice you can go buy supplies," Katata said stubbornly. Sokka nodded just happy that he wouldn't have to sit around and get drowned while the other two splashed around in the giant lake.
Then again, it wasn't like he had had such great luck in cities either.
Zuko paced around the map room trying to stay calm as he listened to his uncle. "But Prince Zuko I need a new Pai Sho board, my last one was burned up in our lasrt attempt to capture the avatar," his Uncle said trying to talk his nephew into making one stop in his feverish attempt to catch up with the young monk.
"We are so close! If we stop now we may lose him!" growled Zuko barely able to contain the fire that was roaring in his throat. "Yes, but the avatar has to stop too, if we continue traveling at this pace we may pass him." Zuko finally sighed in defeat, "Fine, we can stop at the next port!" Zuko conceded. "I might as well see if anybody there has heard anything about him."
