Chapter Text
@boomerangguy on twitter: So, u guys must have many questions,,,,, ask away, me and my luv will be recording a vid today clearing those up.
ps you guys can also apologize for not believing my swordmastery
“Hi.” Sokka started, sitting next to Zuko. He pressed his hands together “I understand that my lack of clarification on the fact that my boyfriend Zuko is also Zuko, the Firelord, may have caused a general panic last night. In my defense, I though you guys were better than that. I was wrong. It was very reckless of me to call him into one of my live streams without making sure you were all properly informed that the love of my life is indeed the Firelord. I can see how my actions must have hurt all of the dumbasses in my audience and can only say that I’m sorry and I’ll try to do better.”
“That...” Zuko whispered “That was sarcasm, right? You don’t really talk to them like that, do you?”
Sokka bursted in a fit of laughter.
“Yes, love, it was sarcasm.” He gave him a sweet peck on the lips. This moment was left on the video purely because Sokka found it to be very endearing.
The scene cuts to a screenshot of a tweet along with Sokka’s voice:
“How did you two meet? And was it love at first sight?”
Zuko had red cheeks in embarassement.
“I think we can leave the meeting part out.”
“Agreed.” Sokka said “But no, it wasn’t love at first sight. We weren’t even exactly friends for a while either. We both had girlfriends at some point too.”
Another tweet is brought up, this time Zuko reads it.
“Are there ever any problems in the relationship due to your differing cultural backgrounds and upbringing?”
“It’s not all roses.” Sokka answers “It took me some time to understand some of the culture from around here, and the first weeks after I moved in weren’t exactly peachy either.”
“Sokka has a lot of traditions and customs from his water tribe heritage that I never knew of and he can’t always take part in, being away from his tribe. I can also tell he misses some of the more simple dishes they used to eat there and the overall life he used to lead.” Zuko held his hand gently, rubbing circles in its back. He didn’t look at the camera when he spoke “I try my best to make up for it, but it’s quite clear that when it comes to that, Sokka is getting the short end of the stick.”
“Hey, it’s not that bad.” Sokka said “I was never that much invested in cultural tradition and spiritual rituals anyways. Besides, I’d give up much more to be with you.” He reaches Zukko’s cheek, who giggles, and then another tweet shows up on the screen “Can you show us the castle???”
“No. Only the parts that are already of public knowledge, such as the ballroom, and Sokka’s bedroom.” Zuko answered “It’s for our safety. I hope you can understand.” Once again, a tweet is brought up “What was your first date like?”
“It was an unexpected and unplanned first date.” Sokka smiled, placing a hand on the back of his blushing boyfriend “I was at his uncle’s tea shop, The Jasmine Dragon? I told you about it, the best tea shop in the world, and Zuko happened to be visiting at the same time. We were catching up for a while, and well, his uncle came up to our table and said he always knew we’d make a great couple. We got a little embarassed, but that gave me the guts to invite him for dinner that night and, well, here we are.”
“Yeah,” Zuko smiled “Uncle is very wise. And his tea is unmatched.”
“Anyone who ever visits Ba Sing Se must make a stop there, trust me. I’m more of a coffee guy myself, but that tea? That’s the s---.” One more screenshot came up “How did you end up with the Firelord, Sokka? And to the Firelord, what about Sokka annoys you the most.”
“Ha!” Zuko laughed “I think the real question is what did the Firelord do to deserve Sokka.”
“Aw, that’s sweet.” Sokka smiled. He cut out the part where he told Zuko to never think he doesn’t deserve him, because he’s the one who’s lucky to have him. They went on for about ten minutes over the same point, like the grossly sweet couple they are. Zuko asked him if that could stay out of the video.
“And to answer the second question, I have to say, his eating.”
“Hey!”
“He eats like an animal. It’s... somehow adorable when we are alone, but during formal events? A disgrace.”
“Hey! I’m getting better at the cutlery stuff.”
“Sure you are babe.” Zuko patted his face, smiling, then turned to the camera and slowly moved his head in a negative motion.
“HEY!” The scene cut again, but this time it showed the couple once more. The outro music played in the background “Okay, I think that’s enough. I know we didn’t cover everything, but that’s what we have to offer you right now! If you liked this, then please leave a like, a comment and consider subscribing to the channel. I build a lot of cool stuff and play videogames on stream on thurdays. Sometimes I build things on live too! So stick around if that’s your thing. I love you all, thanks for watching, Sokka out.” The screen went dark, but he left in Zuko’s voice
“Sokka out, really? That’s how you finish your videos?”
“Yeah, it’s co- Wait. Don’t you watch them?”
