AN: Okay, so this is modern day, but in the Avatar world and with bending... I thought it would be more fun...
Probably OOC but don't shoot me, it's difficult to write stuff in character.
Disclaimer: I'm the owner of all things Avatar... Inside my mind (dun da da da dun dun(Tiny Phantom reference there so deal))
I'm really sarcastic... be warned... Okay, I'll shut up now
Sokka and Suki had taken the sitting room for themselves once again, so Toph and I were left to hide in the kitchen unless we wanted to walk in on them. Even though Toph was blind she could feel what was going on, and I imagine that's a lot worse. It should only be a few more minutes before Suki had to leave; we had worked out her routine a few weeks ago. She arrived with Sokka after school, they watched a film, did unspeakable things on the sofa, and then she would get a call from the owner of the boarding house at precisely 10 o'clock. Soon after we would hear the slam of the door to our apartment, and it would be safe to cross to our rooms.
"It's different tonight." Toph spoke quietly, trying to make sure the couple couldn't hear.
"What do you mean?" I was finally used to her blunt way of talking about my brother's... habits… so my reaction was not as shocked as you might expect.
"I don't feel them… y'know… I think they might actually be talking."
"Oh thank-!" I yelled, but then Toph slammed her hand over my mouth. So loud she could hear my mouth… They had heard me.
We walked through to the sitting room cautiously, we wanted to believe Toph's feet but both thought it was too good to be true.
"Aang and a jerk bender are working on it with me." Sokka's voice carried to me and I paled.
"How long will this be for?" Suki seemed upset she wouldn't be able to… I decided to stop thinking about how Suki felt.
"A few weeks."
"Every day? Oh Snoozles, I don't think you know how much this means to us!" Too late for me to stop her, Toph had run forward and was punching both of them on the arm.
"It's how she shows affection." I quickly interjected at the look on Suki's face. I walked towards my brother, "Who's the fire bender?"
Sokka thought for a moment, "Just a guy in my politics class. He's a bit of an arse but he seems to know what he's talking about."
Revelling over our break from captivity in our own home, Toph and I cleared up the plates we'd left in the kitchen and went to our rooms. I could only imagine what joys would await me when I could watch crappy afternoon TV.
