I don't own atla or lok
Toph rubbed her head as it throbbed. The person in front of her did the same.
She didn't hesitate to start yelling at him. "Watch it will ya!?"
What responded was a man's voice. "You were the one not looking where you were going!"
"I can't look at all, dumb ass!"
There was a pause and the two individuals got up. They were mirrors of each other, all their weight on their left leg and their arms crossed.
"You're the chief of police."
"Yeah, and I can arrest you for assaulting an officer."
He turned around and began walking away. "Good bye."
Toph was astounded. "Hey! What's your name you coward."
"Kanto. Kanto kiss my ass!"
"Why you little shit-"
The officers didn't know what to do when their chief was brought into the station along with the stranger.
"Oh Oma, not you again."
Toph frowned at the familiarity of the voice. She never forgot a voice. "I thought I had a restraining order against you."
Kanto rolled his eyes. "Nope. As I recall, you'd rather kick my ass the next time you run into me. And yes, this time you literally ran into me."
"Do you know this guy, Toph?" Sokka asked his best friend. Aang and Katara were wondering the same thing.
"Unfortunately. He is a bigger jerk than Ozai."
"Hey, that's taking it too far." The man scowled.
Toph just smirked. "Did I hurt your feelings?"
Aang, Katara, and Sokka were surprised to see tears build up in his eyes. "My parent died in the war. Ozai is a monster."
The other three scowled at Toph who, even though blind, could feel the intensity of their eyes. She became flustered. "Hey, I didn't actually mean what I said. I-uh- know how bad Ozai really was and-"
She was interrupted by a progressive series of chuckles.
"Damn, you actually fell for that?" Kanto continued to giggle like a child.
The childhood friends had never seen Toph get so red.
"You little shit!"
The officers at the station weren't as surprised to see both Toph and Kanto sitting in the interrogation room again.
She had never broken a bone before and that fact was very obvious at the moment.
With her good arm, Toph grabbed a nurse by the collar. "Get Master Katara now!"
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the chief. I see you have a boo boo today."
Kanto wasn't making anything better. He was actually making it beyond worse.
Toph shoved him away. "What the hell are you doing here, jack ass?"
"I work here. I'm a nurse and apparently I have the unfortunate responsibility to keep you at bay while Master Katara gets here." He bowed sarcastically. "Is there anything you wish for Milady?"
"Cut that shit out!" The chief of police yelled so that all the patients and doctors could hear. "I want another nurse!"
Kanto pushed her to lie down. "Disturbing the other patients may help you cope, but it isn't vice versa. Shut up will ya?"
"Damnit, you are so lucky my arm is broken or I would have smacked you across the face already." She groaned in pain as all the movement was jostling her arm.
What surprised her was the gentle touch of his hands on her protected arm. Toph flinched at first, but some careful tugs eventually allowed Kanto to check her arm. His voice didn't show any signs of kindness, however. "You are ao annoyingly violent."
"Excuse me?"
"Like how does the avatar deal with someone so loud and abrasive when he is so kind and caring." Kanto put her arm down for a second while he went to grab some kind of paste. At once, he began rubbing it along her arm. His touches were light and, she would deny it till the end of time, comforting."This should make the swelling die down in addition to numbing this area. Then you could stop complaining."
"And why shall I ask is an earthbender working as a nurse?"
The man scowled. "How did you know I can earthbend?"
She pulled her sleeve up with her teeth until the vibrating black band was visible. "It's how I found my first metalbending students. Although it might have made a mistake."
"Well I didn't want to be a police officer anyways. Especially if you were my boss. I'd rather break my arm."
Toph grabbed the nearest object (which just so happened to be a stethoscope) and began wacking Kanto until Katara arrived.
Once they were both fixed up, the famous couple were back at the station again.
"You know, for people with eyes, you look like a bitter loner sitting in this booth alone."
Toph gritted her teeth and clenched the bottle in her fist. She really didn't need this right now. "Just go away, asshole."
Kanto ony took it as an invitation. He sat down opposite her and ordered two more beers. "Let's have a decent conversation for once."
"I don't want one. Especially with stupid people like you. Get out of my face.
He frowned. "Isn't someone snappy today. What happened? You let the thief get away? Failed case? Finally realize why people don't approach you voluntarily?"
Toph actually growled. "Do you have fun doing that? Do you really have nothing better to do than belittle me? You're pathetic."
"It's called flirting, chief. Ever heard of it?"
"Flirting?" The word meant nothing to her at the moment. "That's some hardcore flirting. It's no wonder you aren't dating anyone. You repel any woman you come near."
"You haven't left yet."
"I was here first."
"Still." The bottles arrived and Kanto didn't hesitate to down half the bottle. He pushed the other towards Toph. "Should I say something stupid so you can abuse me? Or do you want to get arrested the correct way?"
"You're really talking to the chief of police like this?"
"Are you on duty?"
"No."
"Then I'm just talking to Toph." Kanto leaned in so he could whisper between them. "100 yuans that I can still remember something after six shots."
The officers made sure the two had a pillow as they slept in the jail cell that night. They would inform their chief of how the bar was wrecked in the morning.
"Toph, you were supposed to bring a date."
The chief of police continued sipping on her wine. "Yeah I know. I didn't listen."
Katara, Suki, and Mai all face palmed. The group of women were currently sitting at the front tables while the men went to greet everyone. People approached them occasionally to introduce themselves. This had been the routine since the first war anniversary celebration.
Toph swished her braided hai around. She he an urge to put her feet up on the table, but she had even realized that was rude during such a formal occasion. The master earthbender still looked bored as ever.
"We're all married now." Suki explained. "We just want you to be happy."
"If you really wanted me to be happy, you'd stop the monstrosity coming towards us."
The three women turned out towards the front of the table and found a well dressed man approaching. His head was covered in wavy black hair and he sported a light 5 o'clock shadow. Green eyes gave away his nationality. Unlike many of the men tonight, this particular man was dressed in regal robes, contrasting from the suits that the men around him were wearing. Suki and Mai raised an eyebrow while Katara smirked amused.
"Good evening, ladies."
The four nodded in respect as he bowed to them.
Katara answered first. "Hello, Kanto. Nice of you to join the festivities."
"I've never been to one of these." He looked around admiring the decorations. "Well, I've attended the festivals in the streets in the city, but I've never attended the big shabang in city hall. It's nice."
Toph rolled her eyes. "And why have your cursed us with your presence today?"
Kanto had already planned what he was going to say but stopped at the sight of the police chief. Her long hair was braided to the left while the rest of her hair was decorated with an eccentric headband. Even while she was sitting, he could see the magnificent robes she had on, the flying boar depicted at her breast. She wore make up, but not too much. Unknowingly, his cheeks reddened.
Katara, Mai, and Suki watched the exchange in full blown interest.
"Hello? Earth to dumbass?"
"I-" He cleared his throat. "Well, I...I guess- hmmm..."
"Is he okay?"
Kanto pulled at his collar to cool himself off. "I'm fine! Perfectly fine! All handy dandy and Um yeah!"
"Oh my... Oh don't do that. Please don't do that."
He was confused. "Pardon?"
Toph began to laugh. "You're nervous!" She laughed harder. "You're doing that thing that saps do when they see someone beautiful. Oh my god! You are such a mess!"
Kanto approached her and put his hands on the table. Things just got interesting from the three women's perspective. "Well excuse me for being kind. I guess the only reason you're so beautiful is so it can compensate for how hideous your personality is."
"What was that?" Toph stood up and leaned towards him. "Want to repeat that, jack ass?"
"Gladly." Kanto pushed his face forward until they were inches apart. They were practically breathing on each other. "Your personality is horrendous."
The women along with the rest of the crowd gasped at the wine being poured over Kanto's head. Toph did it slow, to build up his fury.
The silence was tense, but Kanto had a smirk on his face. His hands grabbed for anything on the table and his devious expression deepened when he got a hold of some cake.
Katara, Suki, and Mai could sworn Toph was steaming as the cake was crumbled into the open part of her robes: her chest.
"You. Little. Shit."
His response came in a whisper. "I love it when you say my name."
It took the fire lord, the avatar, a kyoshi warrior, a master waterbender, a swordsman, and a knives expert (along with a couple of officers) to finally separate the two into different jail cells.
May or may not continue this. Tell me what you guys think.
