[Suki looks worried, no, more than worry. She can barely look at the camera right now.]

Has... has anyone seen Sokka? He hasn't been home, and I thought- I thought we already worked through this, but I guess I was wrong. [Annoyance spread across her face.] I've tried contacting him, but he isn't answering... if he...

[Then she stopped ( Read more... )

[Sokka returns home, living and complete. He doesn't have his PCD, or much of his faculties about him, to be perfectly honest. After more than a whole day wandering Adstringendum, he's looking dirty and tired and his stomach is making more sound than he is as he pushes through the door of the house on Queen Anne's Row he shares with Suki and Aang.]

[He goes straight through to the kitchen, not once checking to see if anyone is home here or next door. Welcome to The Stupor, my friends.]

[Suki's eyes were starting to sting from being awake and the tears. She was really thinking the worse, and telling herself no wasn't helping. Looking wasn't helping either, so she was locked up in their room, clinging to his pillow, praying to the Spirits he wouldn't forget her when he came back.

Then she heard the door. She popped up and ran to see who it was.]

Sokka!

[No one. She felt like an idiot thinking someone came in, but then she heard someone in the kitchen. Her heart felt like it was breaking, wishing so hard it would be him.

In her head she told herself to not get her hopes up, but she wished so hard that it was Sokka, and then she saw him there. The tears returned. She barely noticed the mess he was in because she was so happy to see him.

With tears rolling down her cheeks, she rushed over to Sokka, throwing her arms around him.]

Sokka! Sokka, you're back!

--uki [His mouth is dry, his voice cracking. Sokka clears his throat, and when he rests his hands on Suki, it's gently, as if they've only just parted.] --f 'orse-- [He clears his throat again, but it doesn't seem to help.]

[Carefully, he removes himself from the embrace, grabbing up a cup, motioning he needs a minute; being parched like the desert feels like a smack in the face to a guy belonging to the Water Tribe. He seeks to fix it, almost nonchalant now that Suki has broken his reverie.]

[It felt like she couldn't even breath right now. Her chest raised and lower, but it was like no air was even getting in. She thought Sokka was dead. She thought he would forget about her forever, but he wasn't. He was right here, with her.

She couldn't hold it back anymore. Her eyes shut tightly, tears being forced out.]

I thought you were dead.

[Sokka chokes down some water. It feels blissfully cool to his throat, but the chill it gives him when it hits his empty stomach makes him wince. His stomach growls again, and he takes another sip to silence it.]

[Thirst momentarily quenched, he swallows again and raises an eyebrow at Suki.] Dead? That's-- why would you think that? [And then his eyebrows knit together.] Are you crying? What-- what's the-- Why?

[Offline] fanismighter August 20 2011, 04:13:38 UTC

You've been gone and I haven't been able to reach you. I couldn't help but think the worse.

[Then her arms were around him again, clinging to him.]

Can you please stop doing this to me? Do you even know how much it hurts, worrying about you?

[Offline] angle_on_it August 20 2011, 05:55:00 UTC

Stop doing what? Suki I just left, like... a while ago. I wasn't gone that long. [Although, he can't explain the missing PCD, or why he's so hungry, or why his wrists are aching and bruising here and there.]

[He fixes Suki with a studying look.] Are you feeling okay?

[Offline] fanismighter August 20 2011, 06:44:18 UTC

[Just staring. What was WRONG with him? Not gone that long?]

Sokka, you've been missing for a day.

[She just looked at him in disbelief, and slightly insulted. How could even even SAY that? Missing all day was not short time, and she was insulted that he would even think that.]

[Offline] angle_on_it August 20 2011, 07:43:19 UTC

[No calendar, no handy PCD, nothing but his senses to tell him about the passage of time, and they are all saying time hadn't passed much at all. He rubbed his stomach and felt a day's worth of hunger, but how was that any different?]

[He chuckles dryly and it's a hollow sort of sound.] That's not right -- it can't be right. [Sokka points to the door.] It was dusk when I left, and it's just now getting really late.

[Offline] fanismighter August 20 2011, 16:50:02 UTC

It was dusk yesterday.

[And now she was starting to worry. He clearly thought he was in the right now, but he wasn't. How could he think that he hadn't been gone for a day? What was wrong with him?

She placed her hand on his cheek, worried and scared.]

Sokka, you've been gone for a day, and not answering any of my calls.

[Please believe her Sokka. She isn't lying.]

[Offline] angle_on_it August 20 2011, 18:05:01 UTC

[He takes her hand, removing it from his cheek, but keeping it in his own hand. There's a light squeeze, and his face has definitely taken on a slightly confused expression, but overall every response he has is lackluster and less than appropriate.]

That's-- Oh man, that's--

Really? I was gone a whole day? Wow. I just thought... I don't know... something.

[Offline] fanismighter August 20 2011, 18:17:00 UTC

[She squeezed his hand, not wanting to let go, not wanting him to slip through her fingers and losing him again.]

Yes, you were. Can you just please tell me what happened? I had things planned, and then you just... disappeared. Where did you go?

[And she did too. She was going to do something special for him, but instead she spent the night worried about him and crying, thinking the worse, instead of being with him and just being in love with him.]

[Offline] angle_on_it August 21 2011, 15:14:02 UTC

[Sokka looks a bit exasperated. He's forgotten so much thanks to Harold Saxon's influence, including the suspicions that had driven him out of the house a day earlier.] Nowhere! Where can I go? [Probably not the point here, Sokka.] I left. I noticed my PCD was missing at some point, so I spent some time looking for it, and then I came home.

[Offline] fanismighter August 21 2011, 19:35:32 UTC

That's it? It took you a whole day to do that? [She sighed.] If you say so... [Right now the only thing she could do was believe him.] You probably want to rest, huh?

[Offline] angle_on_it August 22 2011, 00:51:38 UTC

I think I'll get cleaned up first. [Because he certainly feels like he had a day's worth of grime to worry about.]

[He leans in and stops short of kissing her cheek.] I'm sorry I worried you. [And then a quick peck, to punctuate his apology.]

[Offline] fanismighter August 22 2011, 02:42:45 UTC

It's alright. [She still sounded hurt, but it was. Sokka was alright. He was still alive and didn't forget about her, and it looked like he wasn't injured. It was just she was having a hard time right now. Really hard.]

I love you. [She whispered it, not expecting him to hear it, but just needing to say it.]
