Yo! This is the sequel to A Full Confession. And if you read this, please, please review. Even if it's brief, I want to know what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or anything related to it. If only…
This will start out a bit serious. At some parts. Bear with me.
Chapter one: Sokka
I'm happy for Aang and Katara. I really am. Toph must have talked to Katara just like Zuko talked to Aang. They finally realized the chemistry they had, and now… well, look at them. Rolling all over the floor… whoa. Ick.
Flashback:
Zuko and Sokka strolled back to the tunnel that connected the Western Air Temple to the ground, joking about Aang and Katara.
"Yeah right! Aang probably doesn't know what a kiss is! That would be awkward!" both men laughed. (A.N: They have no idea…)
"So what did you tell him, anyway?" Asked Sokka.
"Some heartfelt speech about how even if Katara doesn't like him, first crushes never last any way…" Zuko trailed off. Sokka grunted in approval. Never last…
"For example, Azula used to have this enormous poster of Zhao on her wall. With no shirt on! She drew hearts on it!!" He laughed. Sokka gagged and spewed chunks of plum everywhere.
"Are you kidding me?" He half-yelled in amusement. Both boys cackled uncontrollably.
"No! This one time, she slept in, so I had to go wake her up! I couldn't believe it either!" Sokka cracked up.
"She never lived it down!!" They had to stop moving. Their lungs couldn't take anymore. Tears were streaming from Sokka's eyes. Their faces were contorted in mirth.
"Can't… breathe…" He managed to choke out.
Sokka had forgotten, for the moment…
End Flashback
…Until now.
…Never last…
…First crushes never last…I sighed and looked away from the happy couple. I should have known Toph would notice. She never misses anything.
"Something wrong, Snoozles?" She asked. She looked really concerned. I tried to lie to her. But I couldn't.
"No- well, yeah. I'm happy for them, but seeing them like that makes me think of…you know." Of course she knew. She was Toph. "Suki."
"I wish I had somebody to love." It just slipped out. I should have held it in. I started walking back to my room. Then I heard Toph jump up behind me.
"Sokka, wait!" It was more of a demand than a request.
I was so stupid. How did I not see it?
"Not right now, Toph." What did I think she wanted?
I kept walking.
"I said wait the hell up!" She was yelling now. I walked faster. I didn't want to talk to anybody.
As it turned out, she didn't exactly want to talk either…
Toph's POV:
I ran after him. Snoozles, I mean. I wonder why he lets me call him that; not that he could stop me. We argue all the time. He seems to enjoy it. It's our way of communicating. He sped up when he heard me coming. Seriously, how thick can you get? How did he not realize it? He'll know soon enough, I thought to myself. We're so pathetic.
Omniscient POV:
Sokka stopped halfway to his room. The petite blind girl caught up with him. He sighed, and looked down at her. His eyes widened. when did she get so curvy? He wondered. Toph took advantage of his silence.
"Snoozles, are y-"
"What is it, Toph?" He said, cutting her off. He was still depressed about Suki, still worried about what the Fire Nation princess might have done to her. But as he asked that question, he couldn't help but admire the girl next to him.
…first crushes never last any way…
Toph had filled out since he had met her. Not an hourglass shape like Katara, but close to it. The second thing that stuck out too him was her hair. She had let it down to bathe earlier, and neglected to put it back up. He stared down at her, at the way it framed her face so beau-
"It's rude to interrupt, Sokka." She said, ruining the moment he didn't realize they had been having. He swallowed nervously, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. They stopped, standing outside Sokka's room. He turned to face the door.
"I-I'm sorry. For acting so…different, lately. It must have thrown you off, or something." He wasn't facing her, but she could hear him. In the back of his mind, he wondered if all blind people developed amazing skills like hers.
"Damn right." She muttered, then went on. "Listen Sokka, I see where you're coming from with all this Suki stuff, but frankly, it really pisses me off." She stated bluntly. Sokka had been opening the door to his room. He stopped.
"Come again?"
"It pisses me off. You're fun to talk to, okay, Sokka? No matter how much your jokes stink. I know you're worried about Suki. I know you hope Azula hasn't done anything to her. And I don't give a shit!" She was actually, truly angry.
Sokka whipped around, fire in his eyes. Normally, arguments were fun for them. But not now. Not this argument.
"How dare you say that!! Do you have ANY IDEA how I feel ri-"
"YES!! I DO, SOKKA!! I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!!" She screamed, poking him in the chest. He stumbled back through the door.
"Katara was right!! You ARE infuriating!!"
"At least I'm not an oblivious, ignorant DUMASS!!!" Their faces were inches apart, smouldering with fury.
"What the HELL is your PROBLEM!!??"
"YOU!!"
"WHAT DID I DO TO-"
"YOU KISSED HER!!"
"W-what?"
"Dammit, Sokka! Do I have to spell it out?"
"I-I kissed her?"
"UGH!"
"I-I don't-mmph."
Toph had abruptly ended Sokka's confusion by yanking him down onto the bed and pressing her face to his in a sweet, gentle kiss. Sokka ran his hand through her hair, pulling her closer. Niether moved for the longest time. Finally, hesitating, he pulled away, conflicted.
…Any way…
He reached up and gingerly brushed a strand of ebony hair out of her eyes. Suddenly his brow contorted and he ripped his hand back.
"S-Sokka?" She asked.
"I…I…" He struggled with the words.
"Do you…are you…" She began.
"I'm sorry, Toph."
"W-what?" Her voice was half-choked with grief. Sokka stood up.
"I just need some time. You know." He knew she knew. He trusted her to. "To…to think."
"Okay, Sokka. I understand." She sighed, wiping her eyes. She slowly walked over to the door and opened it. She turned towards Sokka, grinning. Then she left.
"You really are oblivious."
…I wish I had somebody to love…
Don't worry! There WILL BE KATAANG! Among other things! The story is just beginning!
Also, Suki will be included in this. Along with funny scenes. And Toph and Sokka are NOT DONE with each other!
