Chapter 24 : The way forward

Sokka sat looking at the strange and shifting landscape. He sighed, this was going to be his 'home' for a long, long time. He hated it already.

When the WolfHawk Spirit had come to him and brought his spirit to this realm, it had seemed so simple, so obvious. He had to do the right thing, free Zuko from the Fire Spirit that consumed him. Free both the great spirits from their bonds with humans. Make things right for everyone, it was no big deal everyone would be happy.

Everyone but him. Yue had come, but he understood, it was only temporary. As soon as the Baby Spirit had a true vessel, he would be cut off and alone in this strange land. This time not even Goosey was with him, and his own Spirit energy was so week it would be a long time before the WolfHawk Spirit and the Dragon Spirit would even find him. If they ever bothered looking. He sighed deeply, and the small glowing globe that had attached itself to Sokka shoulder, seemed to bob and rotate in agitation.

"Its okay, Cometty, I'm fine really. Zuko will make a body for you soon, and you will be free as well." Sokka said trying to comfort the globe as he stroked it gently, when he and the WolfHawk had made the sacrifice, the globe had attached itself to him, feeding on his human energy, and keeping him company. It was no burden and Sokka was happy for the company. But he tried not to get too attached.

He looked down at the waters of the stream. The color was a strange purple, so unnatural. Sokka would have to get used to it. He knelt by the stream, gazing at his reflection. Tears burned in his eyes. "Its fading, the WolfHawk and Dragon Tattoo, they are fading. Until my spirit energy is much stronger I'm 'invisible' to them. The Dragon needed the Wolf Hawk, not me. 'Excess to requirements' all over again." Sokka laugh was choked, he smiled at his reflection, and it hurt so damn much to smile. "I think that is my real tattoo, somewhere on me is an invisible tattoo that reads "excess to requirements" and as long as I don't accept that – its just going to mess up my like."

The globe bobbed in further agitation. It pressed against Sokka's cheek. "Don't!" Sokka said softly at the globe. "Please don't" He tried to push the globe away from his cheek but failed. "Look, when Zuko makes a body for you, Cometty, you are going to vanish as well. Just like that. I'll be happy for you, but please don't get too close. You are going to be born to a great dad, Zuko is a truly great man, who will love you deeply. You will be cared for and loved and one day be the great Fire Lord Cometty. And, once you are born, you will not remember me either. But, that is only how it should be."

Sokka ignored the bobbing globe, as he stared at the water. Zuko, how many times had he said Zuko's name aloud? It did not seem enough, is hand went to the Fire Lord Symbol on his neck, he stroked it absently. Zuko with someone else, the very thought seemed to twist his heart and burn his spirit. Zuko was finally free, and he too would... would...

Sokka let out a choked sob. His eyes on the only part of the tattoo that was clear and unfaded. His hand stroked it protectively. If it was his pledge, the tattoo would never fade, but the tattoo was not just a reflection of his commitment. Maybe the more often he said it, the more often he confirmed the reality of it, the less it would hurt when it finally happened. ..maybe.

"So do you think it will just disappear, fade slowly, of maybe just half of it will disappear? You should be happy when it fades, Cometty, that will be the sign that your time to be born will be soon. Zuko free from the obsession created by the Dragon Spirit will be able to find his true love. He wont have to settle for me anymore. He will find his true wife, and then both you and the Fire Lord tattoo will vanish. And, I'll be off on my solo journey in this fucking land. By the time I get back to the world, everything will be normal, and everyone else will be happy, fine..." Sokka's voice trailed off. Saying it aloud, didn't seem to help, his heart felt shredded. His mouth was dry, and his soul was empty.

He had done this, it had been the right thing to do. But... but... why did the right thing always seem to end with him alone and in pain. "Excess to requirements". He was not a bender, and without the compulsion of the Fire Spirit there was nothing about him to make him 'special', nothing to hold someone as amazing as the 'Fire Lord' to him. He was just Sokka, the meat and plan guy. And, without a war on hand, in times of peace; there was no need for plans. Therefore, no need for Sokka, He had done the right thing.

A tear escaped the blue eyes, and rolled down his cheek.

"Cometty, how long do you think it will be before the Fire Lord mark fades? A week? A month? A year? How long before its gone as well?" Sokka's voice was raw, he asked the question fiercely glad that the bobbing globe could not actually answer.

"How about never?" A dry and beloved voice said, Sokka spun so fast, he lost his balance and sat heavily on the ground, gaping at a form he never expected to see.

Zuko stood there, dressed as he had been the first time Sokka had set eyes on the fire prince, without the mask, in full battle amour. The only difference was the Fire Lord crown firmly sitting on his head. Now, as he had then, Zuko seemed to be burning with rage, his eyes blazing at Sokka, hard and merciless.

The Fire Lord purposely ignored the gaping warrior, he turned his attention to the glowing globe and his eyes softened. He stretched out an open palm. "To me!"

Immediately the globe, with a quick nuzzle at Sokka's cheek, floated to Zuko's open palm. It glowed red gold in his palm, and cupping his hands together Zuko brought the globe to his heart. The globe while it had been solid with Sokka and the great spirits, became ethereal and disappeared into Zuko. He glowed for a moment and then looked normal.

Sokka's jaw dropped even further, his eyes bulged. "Hey what did you do with Cometty?"

Nonplussed, Zuko blinked in surprise, then comprehension dawned, he shook his heat and arms akimbo looked at Sokka, "You, should never be allowed to name anything more than a turkeyhog." Zuko stated and Sokka could not hold back a look of insulted pride.

"What are you doing here anyway? Have you found someone already?" Sokka asked, his voice choked a bit, and he put on a brave smile, sure he was expecting Zuko to move on, and though time ran differently in the two realms, the speed of this seemed to pour salt into his already bleeding wounds.

Zuko's eyes glittered with baked flames, "Oh I have found someone!" Zuko said as his two longs strides ate the gap between them. He stepped deliberately between Sokka's splayed legs and knelt so that each of his knees pinned Sokka's thighs. "I have found someone, who it seems loves me so much he is willing to sacrifice everything and set me free. That's is why you did what you did. You love me, don't you? Say it Sokka, say that you love me." Zuko did not touch Sokka with his hands, he pinned Sokka's knees but otherwise did not touch the warrior.

Sokka's eyes widened. He was at a loss for words, the golden eyes drilling into him, seemed to search his soul. Tears, already close to the surface welled up in his eyes, his pride stood in the way of the words, but what did pride matter? He could not lie to the golden orbs, "Yes, I love you, but.."

"But! But!.." Zuko cut him off, he pushed Sokka back and leaned over him. Zuko's hands caught Sokka's and he pinned the warrior down. "There is NO FUCKING BUTS! You love me, PERIOD! In a way you were right Sokka, the Spirits were between us, ghosts in our bed even. But now they are gone, it is just you and me. There is nothing between us, nothing compelling us, and do you know what Sokka?"

The question seemed laced with quiet menace and steely determination, Sokka's Adam apple bobbed in sudden apprehension. "Err.. what?"

"I still feel the same way. Even without the Fire Spirit, even free, I still want you. I still LOVE you. You Sokka, the warrior, the planner, the protector. You, the clown, the heart, the hunter. Just you, Sokka, every single part of you. Just you, Sokka the man, the warrior is what I want, what I need and what I love, and I think its time you take responsibility for that!"

With that Zuko slammed into Sokka, his weight pinning the warrior down, and Sokka's lips were crushed beneath the fire Lords. The kiss was deep and long, giving no quarter Zuko conquered Sokka's mouth, unrelenting, demanding, until Sokka whimpered and his lips and tongue responded helplessly to Zuko's demands.

Zuko finally raised his head, and before sense returned to Sokka, the fire lord stripped off his belt and bound Sokka's hands wrist to elbow above his head. Sokka immediately blinked back to reality, he twisted his body to fight Zuko off, but the fire Lord was well prepared, before Sokka could complete the maneuver to get Zuko off him, Zuko spun Sokka around and slammed his into the earth.

"Zuko! What the hell are you doing?" Sokka ground out, fighting unsuccessfully. Zuko stretched out on Sokka's back, he deliberately slid his solid and clothed cock between Sokka's cheeks. The cloth was almost a unbearable barrier.

"I'm doing what I should have done ages ago." Zuko said his breath fanning Sokka's sensitive neck, finding and nibbling, the Fire Lord tattoo, Zuko made Sokka deliciously aware of his brand on the warrior. Shudders ran though Sokka's sensitive body, passion rose as Sokka's breathing deepened, his body shuddering at the heat that invaded him.

"Surrender to me Sokka, not to the Fire Lord, not to the Dragon Spirit. Just me. Gve yourself to me Sokka, fully utterly. This time, there are no out clauses, no doubts. Love me enough to give me everything that make you, whom you are. There is no safety net, let yourself fall my Love, and trust me, to catch you. Only me." Zuko didn't even need to use fire, this was the spirit realm, he simply willed the clothes between them away.

One second the barrier of clothes gave Sokka some semblance of sanity, and then they were give, and Zuko lay heavy on his back, skin to skin. Sokka's whole body reacted, there was no spilling of heat, but the warmth of touch between them was compelling enough. Sokka shuddered.

Zuko was kissing his back, caressing his nape, his buttocks, the crease of his things, the back of hos knees. It took no more than a few minutes, even without the spillover of heat from Zuko into Sokka, the warrior still caught fire. His body arched and heaved in response to Zuko's manipulation. One finger sank into Sokka and then another. Sokka's body was tight welcoming, he clutched at the fingers drawing them deeper. Gentle fingers found the hidden bud, and touched, Sokka screamed, his emotions and fear of losing Zuko had primed him. Seed gushed from his body as he writhed in absolute pleasure in Zuko's arms.

Zuko taken a little bit by surprise, stroked and held Sokka until the shudders faded. Then his fingers still deep in the warrior, he turned him around and gazed into the pleasure drugged eyes. "That was fast, you really missed me didn't you." Zuko whispered into Sokka's ears, watching with pleasure as the young man blushed painfully.

"Zuko, please I want to touch you." Sokka whispered. He pressed his forehead into Zuko's nape.

Zuko untied the bindings and Sokka immediately wrapped his arms around Zuko's neck. The kiss was hot and long. When they finally pulled apart, Zuko cupped Sokka's face and said, "I need your surrender Sokka. Be one with me, Sokka, be mine."

"What do you mean, I am a warrior. I don't understand." Sokka whispered, he was uncomfortable with the term, uncertain what exactly Zuko was asking.

"Then, let me help you understand, allow me to bind your hands behind your back. Give yourself to me, please Sokka. " Zuko whispered, his eyes gleamed with steely possession and burning emotions. Sokka's body trembled at the look in the eyes, Zuko was not going to back down. If he took the next step there would be no turning back.

Zuko leaned forward and kissed Sokka softly in the nose.

And, Sokka realized that the moment Zuko had appeared before him, he had already taken those critical steps. The only way left was forward.

Slowly Sokka released Zuko, and crossed his hand behind his back.

-tbc-

And Im too sleepy to continue. Please review, we dont need more lemons do we? I'll get straight to the plot?

Also I am TOTALLY DEDICATING this cliffie to all the readers who had no faith in Zuko and never bothered to read further than 2 chapters ago, AFTER the last chapter was posted. Sending anon reviews is a waste of time when I cant tell you "HAVE FAITH IN ZUKO!" Sheesh. Anyway to those who stopped reading, I am sorry that you feel stories have to be so straight forward, I like twists and turns, and if you had been patient, you'd see the whole story as well. But if not, *shrugh life and writing goes on. So no hard feeling and I hope you enjoy the straight paced life. :)
