First Zuko and Toph story. go easy on me now.
Ember Island, perfect hiding spot. Time to relax and rest and kick back for a while. The airbender and the ex prince train hard everyday. Training takes a toll on the small boy but he understands the world is depending on him. The wind is cool and dry, Sweat drips down his face to his chest. "Can we take a break? We've been practicing all day Zuko!" The airbender cried out. Zuko stomped his foot creating a wave of fire as the boy swiftly dodge the attack, "Come on Zuko, give twinkle toes a break. A tiny guy like that needs to allot of energy to fight the fire lord." The blind earthbender sighed, lying back on the stairs of the abandoned beach house. Zuko glared over to the tiny girl and roared, "He needs to be ready, do I need to remind you that the damn comet is coming? My father will be more powerful than ever!" Toph smirked and chuckled, "Calm down hot stuff, Aang will kick his butt, because I taught him all my moves. Trust me." The firebender growled at the girls cockiness, "You think your better then me?" growing more and more irritated. "I think I'm better then a lot of people…" She started to pick her teeth, making the firebender more angry. "Even though Toph can be a jerk at times, Aang started his practice as soon as we found him. She has a point...well not the 'I'm better than everyone' part..." Katara pointed out as she continued to braid her hair. Two long braids going down her back. "Thanks guys…" Aang smiled and rushed to the beach followed by his friends. Toph stayed back for a couple seconds. Zuko glared at her, knowing well she's blind and couldn't see the looks he was off. "Why are you still here…" He mumbled. "I'm not really the swimming type...water isn't my thing…" The blind girl smiled and quickly sat up, "Can't swim?" Zuko laughed at her but she tapped her foot making the ground shake under his feet as he fell over. "Can't take a joke? I thought firebenders were the only hotheads." Zuko stood up and dust his clothes, The blind girl folded her arms, "I can't swim alright. I'm blind, why do I need to learn to swim?!" She fussed, Her blank stare always made him wonder. The pale blank eyes and her messy bang hanging down her face. "I can teach you how to swim, It's pretty peaceful once you get the hang of it." Zuko suggested, The little girl paused, twitched her nose then shrugged her shoulders. "I don't want the others to watch...Don't want them to get the wrong idea alight princess?" The blind girl pointed at him but her blank stare was still up front. "Alright, Alright...It's just swimming lessons…follow me." Zuko smiled and gestured her to the back of the house. A door leading to an empty cave into the mountain side. "Whoa, this place is huge!" Toph smiled and ran towards the wall and pressed her hand against it. "It's like a maze! I thought there was something fishy down here! I jus-" Toph stopped and coughed, "It's...nice.." She folded her arms and walked over to Zuko whose chuckling at the sight of the little girl who's getting excited over caves. "This is just something extra my father wanted, this is more like a air pocket that leads to the ocean if you dive down. There escape tunnels throughout this mountain side. In case of evacuation. Since you wanted to be somewhere more private because of your...pride." Zuko pointed to the pool of water then remembered she couldn't see what he was doing then suddenly stopped. "This is where I'll be training you." Toph scratched her head, trying to stay cool but the ex prince knew she was freaking out. Her tough outer core didn't faze him. "Later tonight I'll meet you here. Just...don't tell the others I'm getting lessons from the fire princess, alright?" Toph pushed Zuko out the way and opened the door letting herself out as he followed her. "I don't understand the problem…" He started back up. "Just...don't tell the others alright? Or I'll gut you!" She kicked in the door to her room and slammed it behind her. Zuko grabbed the back of his neck and massaged it, and walked away.
I don't understand this girl...she doesn't want anyone to know she's learning how to swim? Is her pride that big to the point where she hides her true self from her closest friends? The ex prince paused and reached over to the coffee table next to him, grabbing his tea cup. Did I just consider myself a close friend to this girl? scanning his room, a queen size bed, beautiful fire nation curtains and fireplace lighting up the room. His shadow dancing behind him. Should I leave now? I doubt she's even there..knowing her she's probably face deep in sleep… Walking out into the hallway he passed by the waterbenders room and then her brothers. Overhearing his conversation with his girlfriend Suki, then pleasurable noises. Zuko figured out the weird luid noises and quickly ran towards the door leading to the air pocket. The splashing sound caught his attention, The blind girl sitting on the edge of the air picket. Kicking her feet around the water. Her blank stare watching nothingness and her cocky smile started up as he walked in. "Took you long enough princess…" she huffed. Her messy kinky hair resting on her shoulders, her tiny body in her tube top and red fire nation shorts. The little girl's hand resting on the ground watching and hearing his every step. "Oh you actually showed up…" Zuko softly said as he took off his shirt. The blind earth bender cuffed her hand, knowing he's taking off his shirt. I wonder what he looks like… Thoughts ran across her head, dirty filthy thoughts. She quickly disowned her them as he walked closer to her. "It's pretty easy.." He walked in the water and started to float, swiftly kicking his feet and moving his arms. "The trick is to relax and let the water take control…" She couldn't see him anymore, just a blank stare and most of her bangs covering her pale eyes. "You sound like a waterbender princess… taking lessons from Katara?" She started to do her cocky laugh, Zuko growled and splashed water on her. "You want to learn or not?" Zuko roared, "Ok...Ok..just next time you get lessons from your girlfriend just-"
"She's not my girlfriend!" the water around him started to boil, Toph felt the heat and quickly kicked herself away. "I'm sorry! ok! ok!...it's just the way you two talk to each other...and your heart beats change when you two are near each other…" Toph stated. Zuko made a confused expression. "You think I like her…? Does she like me?" Zuko rested his hands on the ground next to the air pocket. "I don't know you ask her!" Toph folded her legs and arms. He ignored the cocky earthbender and continued. "Come in the water...I don't have all night, I also need to train Aang in the morning." The ex prince grabbed her hand and pulled her in. "Wait! give me a secon-" The water hit the little girl's face as she wrapped her arms around his chest. Her heart racing and her feet resting on his knees. "Toph you have to let go if you want to learn!" He tried pushing her off, for a girl her size her grip is pretty strong. "Don't let me go!" She roared. "Your going to wake up everyone..!" The prince finally giving up and help on to the surface so he doesn't drown. Her heart pounding and her grip still staying strong. Zuko can feel her heart racing, He decided to hold her. "I'm here, just let go. I won't let you drown." She slowly released her tight grip from around his chest. "Here let me help…" He reached for her sides, skin on skin. The blind girl felt his soft touch. She tried to stay calm. Slowly releasing him, resting her hands on his chest. "Start kicking your legs...like a badgerfrog." He ordered as the blind girl listened and followed. Zuko used his hands to keep her afloat, but something about her tiny shape made him flutter. The ex prince felt her hands run down his chest then swiftly moved away. She started to move her hands. "Getting the hang of it I see…" Her blank stare and wild hair floating behind her, she looked beautiful in the eyes of the ex prince but he will never admit it. The proud and the cocky will never mix. "Just don't let me drown p-princess…! I can't see anything in this damn water! I don't know why I agreed to this!" She panicked. "It's pretty calming...you'll get the hang of it." Zuko explained, Toph quickly grabbed his arms and help on to him. "I felt like I was going to drown!" She screamed. Zuko heart started to speed. Toph felt his pulse through his wrist. She started a think about how he would react around Katara. "Soo...you and Katara...are not dating..?" She asked, kicking her legs and trying to stay afloat. " No, Katara is...more like a mother then a partner." Zuko stated while continuing to hold her sides, feeling her hips move from kicking her legs. "She is a mother isn't she! haha! We had a big argument over that before…." She paused collecting her thoughts then continued, "You..don't think she's pretty?" Toph shyly asked. The ex prince didn't understand where she was going with these questions but he answered her. "I think she is attractive...yes…" He looked down at the blind girl. Her facial expression changed to worried, "But...I also think your attractive also…" He continued. Toph grip became tighter then she reached out her arm looking for land. She felt vulnerable, helpless, she wanted to regain her power. The blind girl felt a small touch on her hand, the ex prince helped her find the surface. Toph placed her hand on the ground, his hand on top of hers. Zuko can feel her shiver, "Are you still scared?" He asked. She snatched her hand away from the ex prince, "Why would I be scared of water?! I'm not s-scared!" Toph crawled out the water pocket. Her soaked shorts tighten around her figure, Zuko couldn't look away from her. Her perfect tight bottom. Zuko hoped out the water following Toph. "Training finished for today?" Zuko ran his fingers through his hair. " Yes.. I'll come back tomorrow night...IF I feel like it! If I don't then you can say this never happened." Toph tried to stay strong, she didn't want to feel like a little vulnerable girl. "Your first day...you did well…" Zuko chuckled and looked at the blind girl, watching her dry off with the towel she brought. "I can dry you faster...here.." He stood up, walking over to her and heating his hands. "I'm fine princess…I can handle myself. I know I'm blind but I'm not stupid! I can 'see' perfectly fine." Toph fussed. "Just shut up and accept my help!" He fussed back. Toph folded her arms and allowed him to dry her off. "You don't have to keep helping me...Helping me swim and dry off...do you think I'm a child or something?" Toph tapped her foot impatiently as he continued to dry her off. " No, I just want to become good friends with someone here...you were the only one who believed me when I tried to join your team at first...but I.." Zuko paused, His hands scanning her legs now. Toph can feel the heat of his hands running over her legs. "I burned your feet...I'm sorry...again." He looked up at the blind girl, blank stare but she smiled warmly. "Come on princess. That was the past, I'm fine now. I can take a hit." Toph chuckled, the soft chuckle of the blind girl made Zuko smile. "Yeah...you can...but I cannot rewrite the past but I hope we can become good friends in the future…" He sat up and pushed her hair away from her eyes. Toph blushed, heated up and pushed him away. "Great, times up. I'm going to bed!" She stormed off and closed the door behind her.
He thinks….I'm attractive? Really?... The blind earthbender tossed and turned in her bed. But he also thinks Katara is attractive but he said...she's like a mother… The earthbender felt stupid, an idiot teenage girl with feelings. Her heart racing and body heated from the fire benders touch. The way his hand rested on her waist. She wanted to go back to that time and replay it over and over again. The blind girl slowly moved her hand down to her chest, made her way to her navel. Running her tiny hands between her legs. Reminiscing about the firebenders touch and how it made her feel. A slight moan and movement of her hands filled her with pleasure. She quickly stopped realising that she couldn't see if anyone is watching or if anyone is near. placing her hand on the wall next to her she sighed in relief that no one was on the other side of the door. The blind earth bender cuffed her hands but then felt the stickiness from them. A thought jumping into her head as she looked down and blushed. He did this to me… Allowing a anyone to make her feel this way made her sick. She is always tough and cocky, she never let anyone get into her bubble. She always had the last laugh or always fight back. The blind earthbender head fell lightly on her pillow, hand still connected to the wall. Breathing lightly, calmly and trying to control her emotions. Her confusing feelings towards this firebender.
"I'll be back, just wait! I left my hair band back in the house!" Katara yelled at her brother. Sokka pretending to drown Aang as he waterbend a bubble around his head laughing underwater. "Hurry up! I'mma make a huge sand castle!" Sokka ordered. Katara laughed at the playful boy and walked towards the abandoned house. The beautiful water bender made her way to the stairs, over hearing people talk and walk towards her. She quickly hid behind a pillar but noticed it was just her friends. Toph and Zuko, she wanted to say hi but the conversation caught her off guard. Hearing Zuko say, "I don't understand the problem?" Katara hid in the water fountain so Toph couldn't see her. floating. "Just...don't tell the others alright? Or I'll gut you!" Toph ordered. Slamming the door behind her. "Toph and Zuko?...Couldn't be…" Katara was shocked but mostly confused, she thought they hated each other from all the fighting and disagreements. She thought it was just a distraction from how they really feel towards each other. Katara felt uncomfortable for eavesdropping but she wanted to know what's going on. Or she felt jealous because the ex prince is dating the blind brat then the beautiful waterbender.
