Start of Something New
Disclaimer : I do not own Avatar : Legend of Korra / The Last Airbender so therefore, I do not own the characters. But I do own the stories.
It was the nth anniversary of the end of the 100 year war, and a huge party was held in a fancy ballroom in Republic City to mark the years of peace. As usual, the war heroes were there – the Avatar and his gang – to celebrate. Aang and Katara were busy entertaining the press who loaded them with questions on how they ended the war and what were the Avatar's plans for the future, Zuko – also the same except that the questions were mostly about the Fire Nation and its well-being. Suki and Sokka were sitting at the dinner table staring at the food with wide sparkly eyes, for Sokka that is. Everyone in team Avatar seems to be busy, except for a lone blind Earthbender who decided to spend the party outside where there were so much lesser people than inside the fancy ballroom. Of course, Toph hated fancy parties. She was dressed in noble Earth Kingdom robes, and that's one thing she hated the most about parties. The said Earthbender, or now Chief of Police in Republic City, was slouching against the rails of the gazebo bench. She'd practice her earthbending and metalbending but Katara had warned her before the party, not to mess up anything or destroy anything and Toph had also promised not to.
Toph huffed, blowing strands of hair that covered her eyes. All her friends were busy in the ballroom and there she was, unable to do anything due to a stupid promise she made with Sugar Queen. She was about to ditch the whole stupid party when she felt heavy footsteps making its way to the gazebo. She thought it was Zuko or one of her officers, but she can't seem to make out the heartbeat and footsteps of the stranger that had willingly took a seat next to her.
"Who you?" Toph asked, kind of rudely.
The mystery person chuckled. It was a man, and no man have ever approached Toph the way he did.
"You're Toph aren't you?" The man asked, and Toph took note of how deep and silvery his voice is. She surprisingly found it pleasant.
"Yeah. . I am. And you?" She replied rather softly.
"I'm Kanto. It's really a pleasure to meet you, Miss Toph." He greeted with a smile.
The blind earthbender nodded and looked away, her eyes facing what seems to be the floor. She swung her legs as she rested her hands by her side. She felt the weight next to her and thought that the Kanto guy was about to leave, but she was astonished when a warm hand envelopes hers that was resting on the bench.
"You know, you're beautiful for a Chief of Police," he said as he inched his face closer to hers.
Her cheeks reddened slightly as she felt his breath on her cheeks, but that seemed to be the starting. He gave her blushing cheeks a soft peck before chuckling softly and letting go of her hand.
"Hope to see you again, beautiful Chief." Kanto bowed and left with a smile, leaving the Chief astounded and totally speechless.
a/n: Hello everyone c: I'm wondering if I should make this story into a continuous drabble series or just post random drabbles about Toph x Kanto here. I accept critiques in any way possible and I will improve my writing from now onwards! Anyway, does anyone hope for more?
