Sokka slouched back in his chair and chewed on the inside of his mouth instead of the food that sat in front of him.

“It’s quiet over there Snoozles.” Toph said from her place across form him “What, you don’t like my cooking or something?”

“It’s fine.” he grumbled as he glared at his sister and her boyfriend who sat next to the earth bender.

“You haven’t touched anything.” Zuko said, leaning across Suki and looking into Sokka’s plate.

“It’s really good.” Suki added, finishing a mouthful of her own “Who knew Toph could cook?”

“I’m not hungry.”

The chatter around the table came to a grinding halt and Toph dug in her ears “Wait. Did Sokka just say he wasn’t hungry? You guys better eat up because this must be our last meal.”

“Are you okay Sokka?” Aang asked, looking at the older man with worry.

“This is really not a good time for you to be speaking to me.”

“Sokka? What’s wrong?” Katara asked as she turned away from where she’d been canoodling with Aang to face her brother.

Aang’s eyes stretched “What did I do?”

Sokka grumbled as he put the tip of his thumb in his mouth and chewed on his fingernail.

Toph grinned “Oh, it’s not what you did, it’s who you did.” Suki covered her mouth and laughed as the couple turned a shade of vermilion that rivaled anything in the Fire Nation. “Oh, don’t get nervous now, apparently I’m not the only one who heard you two last night.”

Sokka rubbed his temple harshly and Zuko slapped his forehead.

Suki laughed outright as she said “You heard them?”

“Oh yeah. That was an awesome show. Didn’t know Twinkletoes had it in him.”

Katara rubbed her hand across her face “Oh La, this is not happening.”

“Not the first time you called out for La.” Toph said as she took a bite of food with a smirk. Sokka rubbed his head harder and groaned.

“I think the physical evidence gave them away.” Zuko explained flatly to his blind friend “Aang doesn’t exactly have hair to hold on to, so…well, you know.”

Sokka rubbed his other temple and Toph jumped up and slapped a hand on Aang’s scalp “Oma and Shu! You scratched his head!” she shoved him a little as she let go and sat back down “I gotta say. I’m impressed.”

“Could we please talk about something else.” Sokka groused.

“Maybe he didn’t notice that,” Suki said “maybe he noticed the way Katara’s been all lovey dovey this morning, like more than usual.”

Zuko shook his head in agreement “I noticed that too.”

Even though she was embarrassed, Katara inhaled deeply sat up strait “Guys. Toph made us a nice breakfast and this is the first time we’ve all been together in a while, I really don’t think Aang and my’s sex life should be the topic of conversation.

“Damn it, that’s it.” Sokka stood up and threw his napkin on the table before he stormed away.

Another Tumblr prompt, This one from :icongibbythesecond:

"Prompt: breakfast conversation. Sokka notices what appear to be fingernail scratches on Aang's head, and Katara looks very satisfied with the world this morning. I figure Aang's about 16"

So this is what I came up with.  He knows how much I love torturing Sokka.
