Summary
"On this night, you shall share a kiss with a great love of your life!”

Zuko.

“I’m glad you were free tonight,” Sokka continues. “You did me a real favor, buddy.”
“I did?”
“Mm-hmm. See, I nearly asked Sunmi, but then Aunt Wu said this was fated to be the most romantic night of my life thus far.”
Zuko chuckles. “That’s sweet. But honestly? You don't need ‘fate’ to be your wingman with me. I’d be here any night. Not literally here, because there aren’t fireworks most nights, but I’d be with you any night if you wanted-“
“Zuko.“ Sokka cuts him off. “What are you talking about?”
He falls abruptly silent. Warily, he says, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m trying to prove her predictions are a bunch of crock,” Sokka says, feeling suddenly unsure. “That’s why I came with you.”
“So it wouldn’t be romantic,” Zuko intones.
“Well, if Katara or Aang were here, I’d have asked them, but you’re the next best thing!”
He ends with a grin, but Zuko’s just staring at him like Boomerang’s clocked him on the head again. “I need a minute.”
Slowly Sokka’s smile falters. “Wait, did you think-“
A sudden boom cuts him off. Sokka whips around his head to see fireworks shooting upwards, splashing big red hearts across the sky.
When he looks back, Zuko’s gone.
Sokka’s brain casually wanders back to a prophecy of endless self-inflicted anguish, and that boulder he once dropped on his foot.
He tears back into the palace, but he’s not the one who lives here. He can’t see Zuko or guess where he’d flee. Maybe to his room? Sokka springs up the stairs towards the general vicinity of the Fire Lord’s quarters, only to crash right into a regal figure in red.
Aunt Wu.
“Oh, child,” she groans with one look at his face.
“Don’t say anything else to me-“
“I would have loved to advise you, but I predict that if I do you’ll manage to ruin this night further.”

Sokka is such a dolt man. But this was a nice read -
