(THIS LOVE IS) A LONG TIME COMING by lesmiserablol && snowandfire | 1/1 chapters
RATING && TAGS:Β General Audience // alternate universe β modern setting + first kiss + first date + fluff + friends to lovers + pining!sokka + pining!zuko
SUMMARY
He closes his eyes and holds his phone to his chest for a few seconds, smiling widely and trying to control his breathing before he does something stupid like let out a victory cry in the middle of the library. He knows Zuko likes him, but reading it is different now, now that he knows itβs more than just a friendly like. (in which we see what happens *after* the big first kiss)
EXCERPT
βWhatβs with the hair down? I know Zuko likes it that way, but I thought itβs hard to take notes with it in your face?β
βZuko likes my hair like this?β Sokka asks quickly.
Suki rolls her eyes. βNow that we have established that you two definitely like each other, I can spill all the secrets he has told me while pining over you. Yes, he thinks you look great with your hair down. His brain short circuits when you run your fingers through it.β
βHe told you that?β Sokka hides his face in his hands to cover his dopey smile. βI still canβt believe this is real. How long have you known?β
βWhen did you two meet?β she smirks. βReally, we could all see it day one, even if it took you two a little longer to figure it out, and even longer to do something about it.β
MY COMMENTS
For the love of God, the pining here is so clear despite the fact that they already areΒ dating, well, at least their first date. These two are disasters, adorable ones, but still disasters and this fic covers it perfectly. Honestly, this fic is just full on fluff and squishy, soft feelings. Ugh, this fic is indulging my fluff needs.
