4 for the ship writing thingie :)

4. a kiss where it hurts

The movement in the corner of his eye catches his attention, and Zuko smiles. "Good morning," he says, finishing his sentence and glancing up at his bed.

He's at the small desk in his bedroom, the one that has a strict no-paperwork rule on it. Letters, though, are allowed, and Zuko reads over the drying characters on his correspondence to Katara before frowning and looking up. There is no obnoxiously loud yawning or ridiculous stretching coming from his love, not even a mumbled "five more minutes" or tired groan.

Zuko gets up, stretching his wrist for a second before walking over to Sokka's side of the bed (a phrase that still sends a thrill running through Zuko every time he thinks about it) and sitting on the edge.

"Hey, love," he says softly, resting his hand on Sokka's shoulder. Sokka doesn't say anything, and Zuko's heart twists. "Is it your leg?"

Sokka lets out the tiniest of affirmative hums. Zuko stands up and Sokka turns his head to look up at him, his eyes pleading in a way that breaks Zuko's heart.

"I'll be right back. I'm just going to send for some warm towels," he says quietly, and Sokka's expression is replaced with a soft smile.

When Zuko returns to the bed, he notices how Sokka has moved closer to the center of the bed, his back still to Zuko in a silent invitation. Zuko accepts it, crawling into the bed behind him and wrapping his arm around Sokka to pull his back into Zuko's chest to hold him. He feels Sokka's tense muscles relax in his embrace, and after a few minutes he lets out a sigh. "Thank you," he says.

"Of course," Zuko says, planting a kiss on his shoulder, then another one when there is a gentle knock on the door and he slips out to grab the bowl of towels.

A minute later, Zuko has coaxed Sokka into rolling onto his back and letting Zuko slide a pillow under his knee. Zuko shoots pointed looks at Sokka whenever he tries to do something before Zuko does, and by the time Sokka is settled, he's watching his partner with a fond smile as he finally starts putting the towels in their place. One on either side of his leg, then before he puts one over his knee, Zuko leans down and gives the joint a gentle kiss. It's so soft that Sokka can hardly feel it, but it makes him feel better all the same.

"I hope you don't have any early meetings," Sokka mutters as Zuko joins him on the bed again. "Because I'm going to go crazy unless you stay here for a while to keep me company."

Zuko smiles, kissing him on the lips before wrapping his arms around Sokka. "The world can wait, love. I'm not going anywhere."

be still my foolish heart

“Come on, I’ll show you all the best rides and the best food, and we can play the super rigged games together… You have to, Zuko, please? For me?”

And okay, it’s probably a dirty trick, especially when he turns on his puppy dog eyes since he knows Zuko can never say no when he starts pouting, but… He really wants Zuko to go.

“Sokka,” Zuko warns, picking up on what Sokka is doing immediately, “don’t do that. It’s not fair, you know I can’t say no when you give me puppy dog eyes. Stop it.”

“I’ll miss you if you don’t go,” he pouts extra hard.

They stare each other down for a long minute, Sokka doing his best to look sad and convincing while Zuko glares at him with his arms crossed over his chest.

“Sometimes I really hate that this works on me, you know that?” Zuko sighs finally, dropping his arms. “But fine. I’ll go with you guys.”

on the topic of mobility aids

both me and my fiance use mobility aids (I'm a cane user and dox uses a wheelchair) and having to navigate STOCKHOLMS SUBWAY WITH A WHEELCHAIR??

ACTUAL HELL SCAPE

we were going home from a concert and literally missed two trains because people could not be assed to make room for the wheelchair user, it was the middle of the night, IN STOCKHOLM

BUT

two very lovely ladies saw us struggling with the second one (they didn't get on either) and as soon as the third one arrived they created a human barrier holding everyone else back, so we could get on.

I have NEVER in my LIFE been so grateful to two strangers in my life.

did not speak a word to us. didnt even make eye contact. but those two ladies were so unbelievably kind and sweet and I love them

Hmm 28 and/or 40?

28: “Hold me. Please.”

"Hey sleepy."

Sokka groans, waking up to the feel of a hand running through his hair. "Hey."

His husband chuckles and kisses his forehead. Sokka opens his eyes to see he's kneeling by the couch, smiling at him.

"It's late, I was waiting for you to come to bed," Zuko says.

Sokka yawns, rubbing a hand over his face. "Sorry. Didn't realize I was falling asleep."

"No worries, love, I just don't think your leg will thank you in the morning if you stay here."

Sokka sighs. His knee is already hurting from their day, and he knows Zuko is right, but he's just so comfortable.

As Zuko continues rubbing his fingers on Sokka's scalp, though, he thinks of how much more comfortable it will be to get into bed with him, so he takes a moment before he sighs again and slowly sits up. He almost considers asking Zuko to carry him, but he decides against it and just takes his offered hand.

Once he's in bed, Zuko grabs Sokka's knee brace and puts it on for him before getting into bed next to him. "Do you need anything else?"

Sokka shakes his head, then changes his mind. "Hold me? Please?"

Zuko smiles and obliges, pulling Sokka close to him and kissing the back of his neck before they fall asleep in each other's arms.

i am so deeply tired of having a body that hurts.

#i just want. to not be in pain anymore #chronic pain tag #back hurty

love being an adult with chronic illness because if you have too big a day your own body sends you to your room without dinner as a punishment

Dealing with chronic pain can be an exercise in patience and endurance. I often find myself having to halt or delay activities that I really enjoy because it hurts too much to continue. Sitting down for too long, or any form of exercise can make it worse, so anything I do comes with understanding that it will cause extreme pain to some degree.

But I'm not going to let it stop me☺️ I love drawing, I love writing, and yoga and going for walks and all sorts of things that makes it flare, but if I stopped every time I'm in pain I'd never do anything! And every time I feel anxious for not creating content at a faster rate, it only takes a twinge to remind me of why that's okay.

Today I'm seeing a specialist about the issue. Wish me luck!☄️💫✨

#btw everything i do is with the knowledge that it wont cause further damage. like im not sabotaging myself with yoga. the pain is constant #and fluctuates intensely with no apparent cause so im reasonably assured im not making it worse by doing stuff sksks #comic #doodle #digital art #digital drawing #chronic pain #chronic pain art #chronic pain tag #spoonie #my art
