Quick Author's Note: This whole story is going to be told from Toph's POV and is like her recalling what happened (Which is obviously why everything is past tense). Oh, and Toph is like.. 20ish in this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own A:tLA, because heaven knows if I did I would have protected it with my life from M. Night Whatshisface.
I also don't own the song that this fic is based off of, Marina and the Diamonds does (:
"Toph, I think we should... see other people," Satoru said, which caused me to send a blind glare in his direction.
"Ignoring the blind joke," I said, making his heartbeat increase. "Are you breaking up with me?"
He sighed, "...Yes.."
The anger I was feeling must have been evident in my face, because his heartbeat sped up more than before. Good. He had better be scared after dumping me, Toph Beifong, the Greatest Earthbender in the World. I almost smirked at the thought, but held it back.
"What do you mean you're breaking up with me?" I demanded.
"Look, Toph," He started. I glared at him again and waved my hand in front of my face. I mean, really, what was with all the allusions to eyesight? After muttering a haphazard apology, he continued, "You're a great girl, and I still like you a lot, I just don't think we're right for each other. I think we should still be friends though."
The suckiest part about getting broken up with for a blind girl who sees with her feet? The fact that she can sense that her ex is lying about all of the 'let's still be friends' bull. That just put my anger over the top.
Without even replying, I just left. As I reached the door, I subtly swiped the air with my hand, causing the ground to swallow Satoru up to his torso. I smirked as the door slammed shut.
Well.. at least I had an excuse to go and get drunk.
Five hours and many drinks later, I was walking home. Er... I was stumbling home. Which is really the same thing when you think about it.
As I walked into my house, it just occurred to me how big my house was. It was too big for me to be living alone in. This thought led me to think about how I was alone, because I just got dumped.
I felt a wetness hit my hand and I realized that I was crying.
I shouldn't have been crying over someone as stupid as Satoru. I mean, sure, we'd been going out for like, five years, but if he was stupid enough to try to lie to me and make me think that he actually valued my friendship then I shouldn't give him a second thought.
"Fuck him," I told myself out loud, hoping that if I heard myself say it I would believe it.
I shouldn't have dated him. I shouldn't have made myself that vulnerable and susceptible to heartbreak. I felt so useless and stupid at that moment, and I hated feeling that way.
Pulling at my hair and breaking stuff wasn't helping me either, but I refused to cry again. Crying is for weak, frilly, girls, and I was not like that. I'm not like that now. I will never be like that ever again.
Never again.
Never.
"... That's it!" a light-bulb went off in my head.
Just like how I was never going to be the fancy, sophisticated, girly girl that my parents always dreamt I'd be, I would never be this crying, emotional mess that Satoru made of me ever again.
All I had to do was make my partner susceptible to heartbreak.
With that thought in mind, I mentally made a list of rules for myself to follow in order for it to work. Smiling, I began to get ready for bed, knowing that I would wake up with a really bad headache, yet not caring.
"Now if only I had a person to test this out on..." I mumbled to myself as I drifted into sleep.
