Just a little Tokka ficlet to distract myself.

Disclaimer - Avatar: The Last Airbender does not belong to me. If it did, Aang wouldn't be such a pansy, Katara would be less matronly, and Toph and Sokka would rule the airwaves. Zuko and Iroh too, in moderation.

Slice of Heaven

Toph knew this must be what heaven was like.

Soaring through the clouds, holding onto the one she loved, him holding onto her… She could feel his heart racing with happiness. She could feel her own speeding faster than his, in sheer bliss.

This felt right. It felt like she was a lost piece of a puzzle, which had been placed all over, and finally fit into the right spot. Holding onto him, their breathing in time, his arms securely around her… This was right.

She could almost read his thoughts, and she reveled in delight at them. She felt him licking his lips, and she felt his gaze on her face. His heart had sped up more, his muscles tensing. She smiled faintly in anticipation.

Then, he did it, and she lost her head in the sheer joy. All she could feel, touch, taste, and smell was him. And she loved it.

Then, he came away from her. She instantly missed the euphoria his lips caused her, the warmth of his face so close to his.

"Toph…"

She sighed happily. She loved the way he said her name, like it could shatter if it wasn't cased in velvet.

"Toph…"

She moaned questioningly, too blissful for words.

"Toph… wake up!!"

She snapped awake. "Wha? Sokka?"

She felt him crouching down beside her. His hand was on her shoulder, and was shaking her gently.

"Wake up, Toph! Jeez, it's nearly noon!" he quipped, taking his hand away. She wanted to pull it back towards her.

She sighed. "Okay."

Another day, another slice of heaven taken away.

She was glad she didn't talk in her sleep.

So, yeah, that's it. Not much, just a nice little ficlet. Please review, AND PLEASE WRITE MORE TOKKA FICS! I'm dyin' here!
