Just a cute one-shot from Toph's POV. Toph/Zuko
Disclaimer: Nope. I wish. Zuko would be mine if I owned it :(
Fire and rage; pain and betrayal; scars and burns that will never fully heal. Scattered fragments of glass that pierce your heart. Crying out in the middle of the night in silent moans that no one can hear but me. Lost and burned with a mark that the whole world can see—but is only a fragment of the pain you feel inside. Lucky to be born; lucky to have lived. But we're not all that different you see.
Raised in a rich family, pampered. Worst parents ever. They taught me class and manners—they didn't teach me about life. We both went out on our own to prove to our parents that we're better… that we are good. I'm blind—and you're blinded by pride.
The way that scar dons your eye, your ash-colored hair gently swept over your face. Regal nose, sharp features—honey glazed eyes. For you I chose to see. For you, my Prince, I chose to feel.
I may be helpless, I may not be the prettiest, I may not be the smartest. But being blind has taught me something—when the world doesn't accept you, don't try to fight it, or try to run away. Just accept it. We're not so different when it comes to how much attention we received.
I know more about you than you know, Prince Zuko. You think I don't care—but I can feel your heart beat; that gentle way you shift in the middle of the night as you sleep; the heavy sound of your breathing that only I can interpret as you. But you don't know. You don't think of me as anything more than an asset for you to get your pride back. So you joined the Good Side—but you just want to prove to your father that you're somebody.
See, we're not that different at all. But you can't see that.
I can't see. And you can't see my love for you.
Hope u liked it! :) Please REVIEW!
