Chapter One: Our Spot

[A/N: This story continues off the same day of 'Courage and Fear'. If you haven't already, please read the first story to understand what Toph is ranting about. I just thought up of this last night. I couldn't sleep because it was so damn hot out. But in the process I got loads of ideas for chapters to come. RATED M FOR FUTURE CHAPTERS!]

The Gaang is traveling to Ember Island for vacation. After all of the peace meetings thus far, Iroh suggested that they take a few days to relax. So the group decided that Ember Island would be a great spot to go to for vacation. On the way they made a camp site out in an open field that was surrounded by forest trees. They have been there since the night of yesterday and now it was early in the morning.

Toph's POV

I've always loved you too Toph. Those words just kept replaying in my head. The words I always wanted to hear, from the person I always wanted to hear them from. Life can't get much sweeter than this.

Yesterday, Aang told me that he loved me. I'm so happy that I couldn't sleep; all I could think about was him holding me. The warmth I feel inside when he's with me is indescribable. I got up and stomped the ground with my right leg to see who was up and who was still asleep. To my surprise someone was coming, someone I couldn't wait to see.

Before they reached my rock tent, I bended the rock slabs back down to the earth.

"Oh, Toph you're already up. I was just about to come wake you."

"No need, I couldn't sleep." I had a grin on my face that just wouldn't leave. That's when an evil plan started up, one I couldn't say no to.

"Really, what kept you awake?"

I walked over until we were both just inches away from each other and I faked a giggle. "Well, I was thinking about someone." I let those words out of my mouth with the most innocent and seductive tone I could muster.

There was a loud 'gulp' before I got my answer. "W-who were you t-thinking about?"

It took everything I had to keep from laughing, but it was in vain.

"Hahahaha, relax Sweetness. I definitely wasn't dreaming about you." I could tell she was trying to think up something to say back, but Katara's not the best when it comes to things like that.

Katara put on her 'serious' voice. Like that was really going to change anything.

"I knew that! Of course I did! Why would I think you were dreaming of me?" I almost peed in my pants (or shorts) because she so obviously was thinking that. I could feel her heart beating like crazy, Katara must have a thing for me.

"Yep, you totally didn't think so. Haha! Well, while you're slowing down your heart rate, which I highly recommend; don't want you spazzing out here haha, I'm going to go find Twinkle Toes.

I could feel Katara's heart beating even at a distance. That girl is too easy. Damn I'm glad I can mess around with her.

I walked around camp for a while looking for Twinkles. Eventually I walked over to Appa; Aang was almost always around him. I guess Appa was still asleep because if he were awake he would've grunted or something. I lightly tapped my foot on the ground to look over the area once more…still no Aang. There were only two explanations for this, he was either gliding on his glider or he had improved his light footing.

A voice came out of nowhere right next to my left ear. "TOPH!" I cringed at the loud voice.

"Even when I love you, it doesn't change the fact that you're loud in the morning." What an airhead, I'd punch him but he's MY airhead.

His laugh made my stomach turn, but in a good way. "I'm sorry Toph; I want to show you something. Come with me." He gently took me by the hand and we started walking away from camp.

"I hope when you say 'Show' me something, I can actually see it." Even though I knew I wouldn't really see it, it was a sweet thing for him to do and it's the thought that counts.

Aang didn't answer me; instead he entwined our fingers and led us somewhere. After about two minutes of handheld bliss, we came to a stop at a huge cliff side. At least that's what it seemed like.

"It took me a long time to find someplace that we could spend time together, but I found it." The happiness in his voice made my heart beat faster.

It was sweet of him to try and get us some alone time. "Thank you Aang." I hugged him and instantly felt my cheeks blush.

When we parted from the hug, he got my attention.

"This is our spot Toph. Don't think about anyone else." His voice grew quieter and very close. "It's just you and me here."

Our lips touched and I suddenly found myself wanting more. The light kisses turned into hot and heavy ones that lasted until we both needed to take in a breath of air. My lust was driving my body and I gave in.

"Aang, I…I want you…so bad." My words came out in light moans as he kissed down my neck. But as soon as it had started, Aang stopped.

"I'm sorry Toph. I want to…you know…but we aren't ready. If we had kept going anymore, I don't know if I would've been able to stop myself."

I was angry that he had stopped, but I knew he was right. I had already lost control. I've wanted Aang for so long, that when I did have him my lust took over. That's when I realized how wrong I had been, life could definitely get sweeter.

After we both cooled down a bit we started talking.

"Hey Aang?"

"Hm?"

Questions began filling my mind, most of which were quite disturbing. But of all the questions, there was one that really stood out. One I just had to know the answer to.

"If you've always loved me, then why did you go out with Katara?" Just saying her name made me angry; it made me think, how someone like Aang could be taken away by someone who was like his mother.

Aang was quiet for a long time; I think he was really looking deep for his answer. That made me blush…but it was just a thought. For all I know he could've been doing anything.

"I think…the reason I went out with Katara…was because I was using her as a substitute for you Toph. So I guess you must think that I'm a real -"

"DICK?" I finished his sentence for him.

"A-actually I was going to say idiot, but I guess that is a good word for it too…" In my head I laughed thinking how typical of Aang to not be using swear words.

"Yep, that makes you a real big dick Aang. If I didn't love you, I'd hate you for having done that to Katara…but, since you DID do it thinking of me…I guess I'll let it go this time." YOU HEAR THAT? He did it for ME Katara! I don't know why but I must just hate her for no reason now…that happens sometime, right?

I could tell he wanted to change the topic from his response. "Ok, so now that you know. We should head back; we've been here for a while now." I had heard what I wanted, so I let the subject drop for the time being.

We both got up and headed back for camp. "I'll see you tonight Toph." Later tonight…I can't wait, and I'll be the one to make the move first this time. All I have to do now is wait and wait…and wait…damn it.
