Title: Day One, Bending the Rules
Rating: T
A/N: After Kataang Week 2012 (which I surprisingly completed on time), it's time for Tokka Week 2012! This is my first time writing for both these characters and this pairing, so it'll be a great experience. For the Sokka lovers, there are separate oneshots featuring his relationship with both Kya and Bumi as well. All this shots happen post-series.

Bending the Rules
What had once been an organized table filled with highly classified documents and political treaties for the still newly formed Republic City were now a devastated mess of thrown papers and one fallen cup of tea forgotten on the floor. Sokka was happy that, for once, this hadn't been his fault at all. Rather, it was the fault of a young, breathtakingly beautiful woman who was hugging his still sitting form from behind.
He didn't need to turn around to know that Toph was smiling slyly – he could feel it with her lips lightly pressed on his temple – at the mess she'd made. The young woman snickered and Sokka felt his whole body shake slightly, following her movements. With a lazy smile, he reached out for the pale hand that was resting on his shoulder. He held it softly as he turned his face up to meet colorless orbs under playful eyebrows. She was smiling.
"Hey there, meathead." She called him by his nickname affectionately.
"Hey there, chief."
Toph snickered in response.
"Chief, really? I'd think you'd call me by something a little more creative, Snoozles."
At the mention of that old time nickname, Sokka smiled. She'd only call him that when they woke up in the morning, still sleepy and not thinking all-too-well. He secretly loved it.
"Why should I? Chief is fine and I know you love hearing it anyway."
"True." She chuckled as her arms enveloped his torso and her head rested in his shoulders.
Both of them loved moments like this, when they could be "as lovey-dovey and oogie as possible", as Toph called it. They could probably give Aang and Katara a run for their money during these rare moments. Sokka truly missed spending time alone with her, just laying around in the bed and holding each other's bare skin in the wake of the morning. He missed those little moments. Now, however, as watertribe councilman and chief of police, they had obligations now.
And dating was strictly forbidden. But not that Toph cared anyway.
She turned her face in his direction, wearing one of her famous smirks; smirks that could easily give him shivers despite him being a warrior, smirks that only Toph Bei Fong could give. And with that, Sokka knew he was a goner.
He smirked back at her – even though she probably already knew he would do that – and gave her hand a soft squeeze before promptly whispering secretly in her ear.
"Let's break some rules."
A/N: I love Tokka, regardless of the couple ever being canon or not. This story will be updated daily and it will end on the 7th of August.
