Just own the night (Active / Closed)

Character(s): Suki, Sokka
Content: DATE
Setting: um... tbd
Time: Early evening?
Warnings: CAVITIES.

Suki had been looking forward to this for a while now. They hadn't really had much of a chance to do something like this, what with the Spira trip that ended in disaster and everything else that was going on in the city. But now... now they'd made time for it.

So, at the foot of their apartment complex, Suki pulled out a map and glanced at it. She and Sokka still had to decide where they were going on their date. To be honest, Suki was just happy they were going on one. It felt like ages since they'd really been able to... assuming traveling back home had ever even let them...

"How about here?" she suggested finally, pointing at Porfavore's on the map. It looked like a nice enough place. Maybe that would work?

Oh HELL yeah! A date with Suki. Sokka was, most definitely, excited. Yeah, okay, they had been with each other this entire time and everything, but that was different from a date. Completely different. This was a chance to relax, go out and try not to worry about things. A chance to pay full attention to Suki, without Toph around--not that he had a problem with Toph being around at all, of course. Just, yeah.

And, sure, this wasn't the ideal place, but ignoring the weirdos, some of it wasn't half bad.

"Por-fay-v-vores," Sokka said, trying to pronounce the name, as he peered down at Suki's journal. "Weird name, but sounds work checking out."

Of course, just as long as they had meat, Sokka would be happy.

Suki shrugged at Sokka's pronouncement, glancing at him to see if he was giving his approval. It was a place to start, anyway. "If we don't like it, we can always choose somewhere else," she suggested. "It's not like the city has a lack of places to eat."

With that decided, she rolled up the map and tucked it into a pocket. Hesitating for only a brief moment, she reached out to take his hand with a smile. What? It had been a really long time since they'd done something like this and she was going to milk it for all it was worth.

"Come on, let's go check it out."

With any luck, it wouldn't be very far, either.

"Exactly!" Sokka agreed. There definitely wasn't a lack of places to eat (a fact that certainly was one of the few perks to this place in Sokka's book) so there had to be something delicious that would be perfect for a date with Suki. "But, hey, I trust your instinct."

He didn't even hesitate a second to wrap his fingers around Suki's hand. Man, being stuck here sucked, but it sucked a whole lot less with Suki here. Hopefully everything would be perfect tonight.

Happily holding her hand, he walked along beside her as they made their way to the restaurant.

Suki flashed a grin at Sokka in return and nodded. "Lucky for me." Her instincts were generally pretty good in the field and if worst came to worst they could always go get something from one of the stores and bring it back home.

"You know... I'm glad you're here."

At least the trip over to the restaurant wasn't too long and soon enough they were being seated and asked for drinks. Suki ordered a simple iced tea and waited for Sokka.

"Me too," Sokka replied, smiling to Suki. "Uh, that is, glad to be here with you. I mean, if I was going to be stuck anywhere, I'd rather be stuck with you."

Was that cheesy? Probably. A bit. Oh well, whatever. He couldn't really take it back now.

Well, this place looked okay, looking over the menu, Sokka went with having the same drink as Suki. It was the main course he was going to be picky over. Predictably, he was scanning over the meals that involved meat--or rather what he assumed was meat anyways.

Suki understood what Sokka was getting at and she grinned, laughing a little as he stumbled over what he was saying. She loved him for moments like these. "Good thing we're stuck together, then, isn't it?" she teased.

The menu looked pretty decent to Suki and she scanned it, managing to pick out more dishes she thought Sokka would like than ones she would. The seafood looked pretty good, but she thought she'd try something different. Maybe a pasta dish or something with meat, like she knew Sokka would get.

Eventually, she leaned over towards him. "Do you know what you're getting?"

"Well," Sokka began, holding out the menu to show her the page he was on. "I'm down to these two things."

He pointed to one that said was a 'marinade steak' and the other that said 'meatloaf'. Predictably, it was very clear that it was meat dishes Sokka had his eyes on.

"I'm not sure what beef is, but the first one sounds good, but the other even has meat in the name, which makes it sound pretty promising," Sokka explained, still looking between the two thoughtfully.

"...Or maybe roast chicken. That would be the safer option."

He'd make a decision eventually.

"I think I'm gonna go for the steak," Suki commented, looking at the ones Sokka pointed out. "They all look so good, but that sounds the best. We could order both of them and then try everything."

To her, that sounded like the best option. That way, Sokka wouldn't miss out on anything he wanted to try. Suki didn't really mind either way. She'd just be happy with food at this point.

Sokka couldn't but grin widely at Suki's suggestion. "Suki, you are the BEST!" he said, folding his menu up. It wouldn't need it now.

"Then it's decided, I'll be trying the 'Meat loaf'!" he proclaimed, sounding wonderfully happy with his choice. Now they'd just have to wait for the server to return to them so they could order, which luckily didn't take long. Of course, the fact Sokka had announced pretty loudly what he was having probably had something to do with it.

Suki chuckled at Sokka's response, shooting him a smile. His enthusiasm had always been a bright point in her days. Even when she'd been in prison on the Boiling Rock, the thought of seeing Sokka's smile again one day had kept her going. And being imprisoned here, being with him kept her from going completely crazy.

The server came back at Sokka's outcry, bringing Suki out of her thoughts, and she made her order after his.

"I wonder what they'll taste like?" she murmured, half to herself and half to him. "It's nice that we could decide so fast, though. We were thinking the same thing."
