Tokka Week 7. Day 7(Reality). Enjoy!
It was a beautiful night with stars brightening the sky.
She was wearing a dress.
People were dancing.
Toph twirled the skirt of her dress. She was putting on a simple light green robe with patterns along the skirt. Everything is so pretty tonight, especially you, Katara had said, twirling around happily.
No, you look pretty, Toph joked. Katara laughed.
Standing there in the corner, feeling the movement of everybody in the room, Toph couldn't help but to find herself moved along the music. She hated fancy balls but Katara was right; everything seemed lovely tonight. The atmosphere was filled with pleasant smell and the footsteps of people dancing were just so calming. She felt contented.
Toph raised her hand and touched a flower that was pinned in her hair. She didn't know why but she actually felt pretty. It's like love is swirling in the air.. Must be the oogies by the happy couple, Toph pouted. This felt almost like when she drank love potion from the crazy nomad. It's like her feelings were overflowing and she just needed to hug someone.
"May I have this dance, lady?" a young man walked up to Toph, his right hand out.
"Uh, no. I don't dance," Toph rejected.
Toph sighed inwardly as the polite young man walked away. Why?, she thought to herself. Didn't I want to? But she knew the answer. She was waiting for someone. Someone from the south to waltz to her. Yeah.
Sokka would stutter when he spoke to her, and his heartbeat would sometimes speed up. But she could be so sure.. Katara had mentioned about him blushing too. Should I ask him?, Toph asked herself.
Speaking of Katara, she sure had found her love. More accurately, she had found it like eight years ago, Toph thought as she felt two heartbeats dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Figures, the groom just had to have light footsteps.
She smiled. She was sure she would be with someone too one day. She could feel it! And this is not because of the oogie atmosphere, because she was really sure that she and Sokka.. Toph and Sokka..
"There you are!" Sokka called. "You.. uh.. Do you want to dance?" Sokka offered his hand. Toph stared. She thought she could feel his heartbeat sped up.
"As long as you don't step on my foot," Toph replied, taking Sokka's warm hand.
"Not on the Blind Bandit's foot," he said jokingly, leading her to the dance floor. Toph could feel heat rising up to her face as Sokka placed his hand on her waist and pulled her close.
The reality?
Well, she didn't know and right now, she didn't think she wanted to.
Today's prompt screams 'ANGST' but I can't seem to write one. This can be viewed as angst but there are a lot of possibilities too XD. Tell me what you think! Bye for now! Tokka FTW!
