After the heart felt conversation, Toph gave Zuko a punch in the arm.

"Hey, what was that for?" Zuko asked, defensively.

"That's how I show affection." Toph replied, smiling.

"Affection for me? I heard you had a crush on Sokka." Zuko said, playfully.

"Yeah, Sokka is cute and funny," Toph said laughing, "But he has Suki and they are great for each other, so I've moved on." Toph paused and let her head drop a little lower to hide her face. "I enjoyed the foot massage you gave me the other day."

"Oh that," Zuko was blushing now as well, "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I'm sorry."

"It's ok, Zuko. I see with my feet instead of my eyes, and I show affection by punching people. Do you show affection by showing people that you are gentler than you appear?"

"I never thought of it that way, but yes, when I was with Mai I did little things for her to make her happy, but she never really appreciated them…"

"What kind of things?" Toph asked, intrigued.

"Well I'd bring her food when she asked me to, and I would put my arm around her in public, things like that."

"That's really sweet. I wish I was older so I could have a boyfriend like you."

Zuko looked at the young girl and couldn't believe she was only twelve years old. Like Aang, she was very mature for her age, but still had so much to learn and experience. He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't help himself. He was known for being impulsive, and now was no exception. Zuko took her face in his hand and gently turned her face towards his.

"You probably don't realize this, but you tilt your face down a lot. It's a shame because you are so pretty." As Toph blushed, Zuko leaned down and kissed her sweet lips.

"Are you always this gentle, Sparky?" Toph asked.

"Only if you want me to be," Zuko replied with a smirk.

Sorry the ending is kind of lame...
