Avatar: Awakened Gamer

Chapter 66 - Look Underneath

Yue was a no-brainer on this one, she didn't even love Hahn, and just was betrothed to him due to obligation. 

Hahn clenched his teeth as he brushed my hand aside and walked away. "Remember to come to warrior training tomorrow. I would LOVE to teach you how we, the Northern Water Tribe Warriors fight."

Was that supposed to be intimidating? 

"Sure, see you there," I kept smiling at him. As if I didn't understand his threat. Having him explain what he meant by saying that would make Hahn look stupid. He didn't take my bait, so I continued. "The warriors can teach me a lot, and I can teach you guys a lot too."

As I sat back down, Yue looked at me worriedly and asked. "Are you okay?"

Yue's gentle demeanor was a contrast to the other girl around the table, who kept looking at Hahn walking away with dagger-like gazes pointed at his back.

"Tch, Hahn is such an idiot!"

"Yeah, I don't like him anymore."

"He came all the way here just to run away."

The girls started whispering among themselves, criticizing him. There were some harsh things said that made me feel bad for the poor guy… who am I kidding? I was going to entice the hell out of these flames and make this situation bigger than it was. 

Sorry Hahn, but you don't pick fights with guys like me. I go for under-the-belt hits and break every unspoken rule there was.

"Yes, I am okay", grasping Yue's hand, I reassured her. Surprisingly her hands were cold, even though it was warm inside the building and she was wearing clothes that protect against the chilly weather. Did this have something to do with her having been given life by the Moon Spirit?

The other girls looked on with jealousy and started whispering, probably bad things about Yue. *sigh* Girls and their jealousy, there were some good ones out there, but if they were good, they wouldn't have crowded over me like this. Most of them were here because I was the Avatar's companion, and Aang was already surrounded by intimidating officials, so they couldn't get close.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom," Yue said, probably having heard the harsh words the girls were talking about. 

But as she got up, she suddenly stumbled, and fell forward, straight into me. As her body landed onto mine, I was pushed on the ground with her on top of me… and with everyone now looking at us.

The first thought that came to mind as she sat on my stomach; Yue was heavier than she looked. I could barely breathe and felt like throwing up. Thankfully due to [Gamer's Body] that sensation was quickly gone, and I didn't throw up. But her heaviness still weighed on my body. 

Suki did it better, she sat a little lower, even though she was probably a little heavier than Yue. Around 7kg (~15 pounds) heavier. Even though they should be around the same height. Suki was probably heavier due to her muscle composition, as she did a lot of physical training, unlike Yue. 

Welp, it was about time I did something that proves to others that I am not some kind of manipulator. After all, Yue was a princess and people could easily assume that I had some negative intentions and might be manipulating her.

***
Unlike Sokka, the Princess was deeply embarrassed as her face flushed like a tomato and she froze. 

What can she do? Should she get up? Move? Change positions? Apologize?

By the time she was done overthinking things, seconds passed by and everyone saw their risque position. The first one to speak was Sokka. "You're heavier than you look."

Yue paled, and without thinking, slapped him, getting up and running away. Katara stared at him as if he was stupid. "You and your mouth," she whispered under her breath.

Sokka only looked around confused, touching his cheek. "Why did she slap me?"

Some just awkwardly coughed, while some others went back to drinking. All of them with one thought in their mind. 'What a naive guy.'

Katara could read the atmosphere and she frowned. While she called her brother worse things than "'naive", she didn't want others to think bad or insult her brother behind her back. 

Sokka on the other hand got up and went out of the party to get some fresh air. By now everyone ignored him, after this incident it showed that his relationship with Yue was unredeemable. On top of that, he seemed quite naive in romantic relationships.

Katara sighed and followed her brother, making sure that he didn't have his feelings hurt or anything. Plus, if she stayed here, she might freeze the faces of everyone here that was looking down on her brother.

*
Once outside, Sokka's gaze went from a confused and naive boy to that of a tiger. Even his posture changed from a little crouched, to straight, tall, and sharp like a knife. The atmosphere around him changed completely. "What annoying old men."

Katara who was following him secretly caught sight of this, and her eyes widened in shock, as her hands covered her mouth. 

What is this? It feels like Sokka's demeanor changed in a split second and he became a different person.
