A/N: Welcome to my new story...
Ocean of Flames, Winds of Change is currently on hiatus due to lack of brain power. BTW, it's set during and maybe after The Western Air Temple.
Pairings: Tokka, Zutara, Aang X Unknown
LET IT BEGIN!!
Tic-Tac-Tokka
Toph couldn't sleep. Actually, she was surprised that anyone could sleep with all the noise. Of course, it doesn't help if you have very acute hearing and can "see" by way of vibrations. What was keeping her awake? It was simple, really; just another one of Zuko and Katara secret meetings. Toph never knew people could make out so...so...animal-like. Still, they were a good couple, and as long as Aang didn't know, no hearts wee broken.
Toph got out of bed and went to sit by the fountain. She began to think of her own "love life". Well, she really didn't know if it was love. Wasn't the other person supposed to love you back?
Sokka was wide awake. Ever since Katara had unveiled the news that she and Zuko were "together" to Toph and Sokka, he hadn't been able to fully grasp the idea, and ended up not sleeping for almost a week.
He did like someone though. He liked her a lot. Maybe he even loved her. Love. It was a strange term to him. Of course, he loved his family. And he strongly liked Yue and Suki. But he never loved them. But he loved Toph. He knew he did. Sokka sighed. He was always thinking a lot these days. It was probably the lack of sleep. Usually his thoughts just left him confused or hungry of depressed. This time they drove him out of bed. He found himself walking to the fountain near the rooms.
Toph was sitting on the edge of the fountain, lost in thought about Sokka. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. 'Speak of the devil'. she thought to herself.
"Hey Toph. Uh, can I sit here?" Sokka asked.
"Sure." Toph replied. Sokka noticed that she was shivering.
"Are you cold?" He asked, concerned.
"No." Toph lied. Sokka sat closer. Toph shivered again, but it wasn't because of the cold.
"So... You're up late. Are you ok?" Sokka sat even closer.
"I'm fine. Sugar Queen and Fire Flake are keeping me awake with all their smooching." Toph laughed. Sokka cringed.
"Don't remind me." Sokka smiled. He loved her laugh. By now they were sitting so close that he could hear her soft breathing.
"Sokka?" Toph muttered.
"Hmm?" Sokka mumbled.
Before he could blink Toph turned and hugged him. He was confused but he hugged her back. They stayed that way for what seemed like hours. When they finally broke apart Toph blushed.
"Uh, sorry..." She stuttered, embarrassed by her actions. Sokka didn't reply. Instead, he grabbed her around the waist and kissed her firmly on the lips. Toph returned the kiss. It wasn't quite what Zuko and Katara did, but it was still perfect in every way. When they broke apart, Toph smiled up at Sokka. He smiled back.
"Uh..." He didn't have time to respond. They both fell backward into the fountain. The water was freezing.
