Chapter Text
“Zuko, come here I want to cuddle.”
“I’m busy.”
“Please.”
Zuko chuckled and looked up from his scrolls at Sokka. The man was making his signature pouty face whenever he wanted something that he couldn’t have.
But it wouldn’t work this time. Zuko had too much work to catch up on this evening.
Still, he hated seeing his boyfriend so sad. So he proposed a counteroffer. “Maybe later, okay? I’ve got to get these readings done.”
Sokka huffed and stomped away for a moment.
Zuko smirked, but a twinge of guilt crept up in his chest. He hated saying no to Sokka.
Nevertheless, he went back to reading his scrolls.
After a few minutes, his focus was disturbed by Sokka, who decided to crawl in Zuko’s lap and hug his waist.
“Um, can I help you?”
“I brought the cuddling to you.”
Zuko laughed. “You’re so needy.”
“Yeah, but you love it,” Sokka teased.
Zuko sighed. He really did.
