    Summary

    “Do you think Bosco would like this one, Sokka?”

    Sokka blinks, waiting for the phone thrust on his face to come into focus, “uh? Is that a dog suit?”

    “Yes,” Kuei is smiling earnestly and openly, and Bosco perks up from where he’s basking in the corner, ears twitching at the sound of his name. “It’s for when he needs to look fancy.”

    “That sounds reasonable,” he nods seriously, then, because imagining Bosco at some fancy-ass party is kind of terrifying and there’s a client booked in fifteen minutes, he adds wistfully, “I would die for a coffee right now.”

    Kuei looks up from his phone. “Oh? There’s the Jasmine Dragon across the street if you don’t mind tea.”

    “Isn’t that the flower shop?”

    “Yeah,” he says like there’s nothing weird with that and then doesn’t elaborate on that.

    *

    or, the flower shop across the street from the tattoo parlor is more than it seems, Sokka has a crush, and Zuko learns how to deal with change.

    *

    or, summer love doesn't have to be on the beach. Sometimes, it goes on all year round.

    Summary

    “Lightweights, you know?” Sokka scoffs, but he’s smiling a little. “Not seasoned party animals like me and you.”

    “Oh, that’s me, alright,” Zuko says drily, “Firelord Zuko, notorious party fiend.” 

     or:

    being a new firelord is hard. but being in love with your straight best friend, especially when that friend starts acting decidedly less straight whenever the booze starts flowing? even harder.

    Summary

    Zuko is sitting cross legged in Sokka’s hut. His eyes are soft and the bags underneath them are surprisingly not bad. He’s wearing what look like Southern Water Tribe boots as well, not his usual Fire Nation getup. Not only is he not wearing his crown, but Sokka doesn't see anything that would identify him as anything but a local besides his actual appearance. He figured it was just out of eyesight before but it really isn't there. He doesn't look like a Firelord.

    “Do I look like a visiting foreign leader to you?” Zuko asks. His voice is gentle, but Sokka feels like it is trying to steer him towards a connection that he doesn't know how to make.

    alternatively: Zuko's visit to the Southern Water Tribe a is sidetracked by a sickness that Sokka refuses to acknowledge he has, but Zuko has a surprise for him
