Hey people! This is not my first Tokka-themed story, if you're wondering. I'll post a new Tokka A-Z story every day, so you'll have to be patient! Leave in your comments how much you liked it or if it could be better in any way. Come on, don't be shy! I don't own Avatar, no matter how many times I cry myself to sleep wishing there was a whole book entitled "Kataang" or "Tokka". While I silently sob to myself, please enjoy my story!
Tokka 1: Animals
Toph chased the 'boomerang bender' around the city, trying to catch him in a friendly game of tag. Sokka knew he had a slim chance of winning, so he suspended himself in the air by swinging from a string and a boomerang grappling hook off of Iroh's tea shop sign. He kept his labored breathing at a minimum, hoping the earthbender wouldn't hear it. To his luck, she didn't.
Toph thought the game unfair, seeing as how all of the people in her way were making it difficult to move around or earthbend. She stopped, listened, and smiled. Snoozles, she thought silently at the dumb warrior. She expected this from a water tribe like himself. Sokka watched the girl with caution, she was circling around the sign like a great white shark.
"Toph!" Aang yelled, disturbing Toph's focus.
"What?" she yelled back as the waterbender jumped and ran.
"Can you show me the rock wave again?"
"Sure..." Toph stamped the ground and knocked Sokka down, who groaned in pain. She rode herself over on the wave and tapped Sokka on the head. "You're it."
Sokka smiled at the earthbender's creativity. "I really like you, Toph."
"You think I didn't know that? Every time I get near you both yours and my heartbeat shoot through the roof. I like you too, Sokka. Even if you are a water tribe boy."
"Wait-what's THAT supposed to mean?"
"Oh, nothing. Water tribes are just not meant to be super strong..."
"Oh. Right." Sokka turned, blushing. Three, two, one...
The water tribe boy tackled the blind earthbender and crawled on top of her. She kissed him on the cheek, not knowing nor caring that a crowd had gathered to watch. Sokka grabbed her around the waist and rolled her over onto her back. He leaned so close to her face she could feel his breathing, and leaned up to kiss him, until she was cut off by the taste of dirt in her mouth.
"Blech, Sokka, what have you been eating?"
"I think the question is what are you eating."
"Dirt, thanks to you."
"Ah, another one bites the dust." Sokka laughed at his incredibly lame joke.
"Yeah, and now another one will kiss the dust." Toph stood on the balls of her feet, giving her still a few inches from being right in his eyesight, but enough to kiss him. Sokka startled her when his lips touched hers before she could kiss him. The whole crowd 'awed' and Toph could feel their hearts melting.
"We're just like animals," Sokka commented after they were done kissing.
"That's what I love about us being together."
