“You’re not gonna like this, babe,” Zuko laughs quietly into the top of his head, playing with the wavy strands on his fingertips. “But I don’t really have a plan.”
Sokka’s muffled groans make Zuko laugh harder, wheezing under the weight of his husband's body. “Ugh, you’re crushing me. It’s not a bad idea! Azula is still her family, she was bound to meet her anyway at one point or another. And yeah, she’s… less than pleasant, but that’s just how she is.” He kisses the top of Sokka’s head and waits for a reply. When his husband remains quiet, he continues, “Besides, I have a feeling Azula will know what to say. We’ll be with Izumi the whole time, too.”
He pauses again to raise his head and stare at the red satin canopy of their bed, gathering conviction for what he’s about to say next, but finds that it takes less time and hesitation than he thought it would.
“Azula would never hurt Izumi.”
Sokka lets out a long and heavy breath, the gust of it tickling Zuko’s ear, and then props himself up to look at him with his deep blue ocean eyes.
“Yeah, I don’t think she would either.”
