1 year after the war, peace and restoration was everywhere, but one person was not at peace at all…. This person was the Avatar, Aang to be precise, there was still a war waging inside of him.. in his heart actually. Even though he succeeded in defeating the Fire lord he was still upset. He wasn't able to tell Toph how he really felt about her, and the gang went their separate ways 3 months after it all ended. Sokka and Katara went back to the South Pole but along the way Zuko and Katara made out a lot! Zuko and his uncle went back to the Fire Nation where his uncle Iroh became the new Firelord until Zuko came of age and Toph went back to her family. But as we all know Aang's only family was his friends a 100 ton flying bison and a 10 kg lemur, so Aang decided to stay with Toph for a while and luckily Toph had an extra room at their house so Aang could stay until he could find himself his own place (which is practically impossible because he's only 13 years old)
Now back to the story. Aang was sitting outside on a rock near a cliff several miles away from Toph's house so he could have his privacy but it's in Toph's nature to meddle in things she shouldn't, so she followed him, silently of course. When she arrived at the cliff Toph positioned herself behind a tree near the rock Aang was sitting on. Toph listened intently as Aang spoke to himself aloud,"AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Aang screamed," What am I gonna do!?. If I tell Toph how I fell about her she could hate me forever and shun for life. But if I don't, this feeling inside of me will keep getting harder and harder to contain and I might do something stupid to her and she'll kill me for it. Aaaaghhhh!!" .He put his head on his knees and curled himself up trying to think of a solution. When Toph heard this, her heart was touched and she felt happier than the time they beat the Fire lord and saved the world. She had a crush on Aang ever since the start of their journey together, his smile, his attitude towards life and his kindness captured Toph's heart and Toph bottled her feeling for Aang for so long she thought that her heart would explode from the pressure that Aang might not like her back but now she could be open with each others feeling.
Evening was nearing and the sun was starting to set. Aang was still curled up like a ball on the rock when he heard a familiar voice behind saying "Aang?", for him her voice was like a thousand angels singing in chorus ,but he was a afraid to look at her because of what he was feeling ."Aang?". Toph said again, but this time Aang turned his head slightly just enough to see her face"Aang I heard everything you said." she continued but she didn't say anything after that because she felt that Aang had to digest what she said.
Aang was in complete shock, he started trembling and sweating, buy he scraped up enough courage to say some thing," So…"Aang stuttered"d...do...you...hate me?"
Toph replied quickly but somewhat hesitant, she said" No Aang I don't hate you, I..I actually ….. Love you", those last few words struck him like a flaming arrow, he was more shocked than ever now but he uncurled himself and stood up and looked at Toph lovingly as he walked closer to her. Toph felt him moving closer and closer.. she started to sweat by the buckets, she stuttered" Aang….what are yo-"she stopped talking because Aang had put his hands on her face and brought it closer to his and they kissed as the sun set behind them. It was the most magical moment of their life. Aang let go of Toph's face, they were both blushing as aang said" I Love you to " and they went back to Toph's house hand in hand.
