Wow, it's been awhile. But college has started and I've been busy. But I got some free time so I decided to try my hand at a non-parody drabble. It's my first drabble so be kind and review.
I do not own avatar.
When she was younger, all she would wish for was to see. That she could see her parents, the sky, anything. She wished she could see the colors of a sunset or look into someone's eyes and see something back. She wished her parents didn't baby her and she wished they were proud of her. But, of course, just because you wish for something, doesn't mean you get it. But she got something close. The badger moles taught her to 'see' with her feet through earthbending. And she was happy.
But she never really saw him. She knew him by his cheerful voice, his soft hands and descriptions by other people. She knew that when they first met, he was barely an inch taller than her, but now he was almost a whole foot above her. She knew that he was brave and caring, she knew that he loved. But, oh, she sometimes wished she could see the avatar's eyes. His hair, his genuine smile. She envied Katara. Katara could see him. Toph however could not. The thought made her sick. Katara kissing him. Katara seeing him.
But, even though Katara could see him, she couldn't see how much Aang would risk for her. Katara could kiss him, but she couldn't see how much love Aang had for her. Toph knew when people lied. They did it all the time. And Katara lied to Aang. Wasted love. Toph could see that Katara loved Zuko, not Aang. But Toph couldn't tell him, because she could see how much it would hurt if she told him and Katara didn't. Katara could see Aang on the outside, but Toph could see him for who he truly was.
And when it came down to that, then Toph would rather have her blindness and see Aang for who he really was, than be blinded by the sight that sheonce longed for.
oh that was painful. I will get better! Review plz!
