My first Toko. Please flame if you think it necessary
Katara was bossy, sweet, gentle, arrogant.
A master water bender, an optimist in every way, she looked for the light in every tunnel.
Mai was grim, loyal, endeavoring, unfeeling.
A master dart thrower, she was often pessimistic but would be a great Fire Lady; she was his first love anyway.
Toph was solid, brass, salty mouthed, strong.
She was an earth bending prodigy, no sissy and not at all conceited for she was blind.
Zuko needed someone who would stand up to him even when he didn't want to. So he chose Mai because she didn't.
He needed someone whom he could lean on. So he chose Katara because he was too proud, she leaned on him instead.
But they both came and went so he started needing again. He turned to Toph who rebuked him for being too proud and arrogant. Then he realized what he had needed and maybe even wanted.
Toph asked suddenly, "Are you smiling?" She just knew him so well. She punched him of course.
She did that to show affection right? Zuko grinned again earning himself another punch.
Maybe this would work out after all.
May turn into a set of drabbles, not sure yet.
