Surprise Visit

"Sokka! Will you please cut it out!" shouted Katara, unable to take her older brother's relentless pacing anymore.

"Sorry..." he mumbled under his breath. Both he and Katara, along with Aang, were temporarily stationed at an inn in Ba Sing Se. Sokka had nothing better to do, so he decided to accompany the two on their travels. Plus, he wanted to keep an eye on Aang.

He would have been with Suki originally, but things hadn't worked out so well. At the moment, Aang was out doing some "Avatar business".

Following his sister's wishes, Sokka slumped into a chair across from Katara. He glanced over at her and noticed her writing rapidly. Katara was trying to finish a reply letter to Fire Lord Zuko. He had recently invited them, all of them if possible, to a dinner party of some sorts.

With too many things on his mind, not to mention being bored and out of it, Sokka sighed loudly and slumped even further down his chair. Tired of her brother's moping, Katara takes a break from her letter. She peered up at Sokka, trying to figure out his problem.

Then it hits her. Katara tries exceedingly hard to hide a smug smile creeping up on her face.

"Look, Sokka. If you miss her that much, why don't you just go see her? I'm sure she'll be glad to see you, too," Katara said suddenly. Sokka glances up at his Master Waterbender for a sister.

"Wha..." he starts to say, but she'd already gone back to her letter. Annoyed, Sokka gets up and walks off.

Before he reaches the door, his sister says, "Gaoling isn't that far from here you know."

Finally understanding the meaning behind her words, Sokka smiles and heads off towards his destination.

...

It had been a while since Sokka had visited Gaoling, but it hadn't changed much since last time. Sure, it was large and intimidating, but that didn't matter to him at the moment.

Almost instantly, Sokka was shown inside by a servant. He was led to a large waiting room and told to wait. While doing so, Sokka looked at everything around him. It all looked so expensive, so he decided not to touch. A few moments later, footsteps were heard coming towards him.

Sokka turned and saw a middle-aged man standing a few feet away from him. His arms clasped firmly behind his back, he eyed Sokka skeptically. He thought it was because of the Fire Nation outfit he still wore.

"Can I help you?" the man asked.

"Um... yes. Mr. Bei Fong? I'm Sokka, and I'm here to see Toph," Sokka managed to say. Mr. Bei Fong raises his chin and stares Sokka down; his gaze burning through the warrior.

"Of what association do you have with my daughter?" he demands.

"Um, well, I was with her and Aang, the Avatar, and my sister when we saved the world and everything. So.. she's, uh, a friend. Of mine," Sokka stammered.

Mr. Bei Fong was about to reply, when a gentle hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Lao. Stop interrogating this boy. If he says he's a friend of Toph, then he is." Mrs. Bei Fong says.

The man named Lao sighs, then nods. Mrs. Bei Fong smileed, and looked over at Sokka.

"You might find her in the garden. She's been there a lot lately. Just call if you need any help with your way around," she informs Sokka. He bows respectfully and makes his way out to the garden.

It was bigger than he remembered. Looking around, he spotted a form over by the pond. Walking closer, he gets a better view. Sure enough, there was Toph, slumped over a rock and sleeping soundly. Well, if you take out the snoring, that is.

He walks closer, trying his hardest not to wake the young Master Earthbender. Once close enough, he carefully sits down next to her.

Toph was sprawled over a large rock; arms crossed and head resting on them. Sokka reached out and brushed a few strands of hair away that had come askew from the bun she always wore. It was then that Sokka noticed that Toph was still wearing her Fire Nation disguise as well.

Sokka smiled and chuckled quietly to himself. Unfortunately, the sound woke up the sleeping bender. Sokka tensed a little and waited for the anger-prone Metalbender to lash out at him.

Toph opened her sightless green eyes and blinked a few times. After yawning an over-exaggerated yawn, she straightened up, and stretched her limbs. Sokka moved slightly. The small action caught Toph's attention.

She turned her head towards him; wise green eyes seeming to see into his very soul.

"Sokka?" she asked, almost unbelieving. Sokka smiled. It'd been a while since he heard her voice.

"Hi, Toph," he responded. Having figured out who it was she was talking to, Toph hopped up onto the rock she was sleeping on earlier.

"What are you doing out here Snoozles? I thought you were at Kyoshi Island with Suki," Toph replied staunchly. Sokka thought he heard a tone of disgust when she said Suki's name, but dismissed the thought.

"Well, I'm staying in Ba Sing Se with Katara and Aang. I don't really have anything better to do. Besides, things didn't really work out too well with Suki. I had to... break if off," Sokka replied, his voice on the border of sanity. He looks up to see Toph's reaction. Blank, as always.

"Hm. Well, I'm sorry to hear that," she says, the lie flowing like oxygen. Truthfully, she was overjoyed at the news. But Sokka was her best friend, so she had to make him feel better somehow.

"Yeah. Well, I don't think I really wanted her anyways. I never really related to her." Toph stepped off her rock and sat on the ground, back leaning against it.

While absentmindedly playing with a rock, she asks, "So what do you want, Snoozles?" Sokka gets up and walks around, an almost awkward silence between them.

"What do I want?" Sokka repeats quietly. Having made up his mind, he walked back over to the blind girl. He sat down right next to her.

"So?" she asked, still playing with her rock. Sokka looked over and noticed Toph still wearing the bracelet she made from the rock he gave her. Any doubt gone, he lets Toph know his answer. He shifts his position to his side, and leans over her.

Toph looked up, sensing his movements.

"Sokka-?" she starts to ask. But before she can interrogate any more, Sokka plants his mouth on hers.

AN- I owe much of my inspiration to LadyBaSingSe. Without her, I don't know WHERE my writing would be. Plus, I would probably have retained most of my sanity. Which is now gone, mind you. Tophie luffles u, Lady! Oh, and thanks to Randomicity for reading. That helps a lot. Any ideas and the such reeeally help.
