Sokka glanced out the mouth of the cave. The rain was still pouring. Lightning shot to the ground nearby, thunder following moments later. His gazed shifted to the girl sitting next to him.
"Toph…are you okay?" Sokka asked after seeing her huddled form.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.
"You sure?"
"Yes…No. I can feel everything—the animals, the rain. And the thunder's really loud. It's overwhelming."
"C'mere."
Toph moved closer to Sokka hesitantly. To her surprise, he wrapped both arms around her and pulled her into his lap. "What're you doing?" she squeaked.
He didn't answer. He just held her.
I normally don't write Tokka—or drabbles, for that matter—but I figured I'd give it a shot. How'd I do on my first attempt?
