A Realistic Tokka Story

Touch

For Tokka Week #4

"Well, gee Sokka, what's the first thing a girl is supposed to think when she sees her fiance dancing with another girl?"

"Omm, maybe that we are dancing!"

"Right. Right."

"Suki, seriously what is your problem?"

"My problem is that I'm seeing that whore of a woman stealing my man!"

"Excuse me? Toph is no 'whore of a woman'."

"Then what is she Sokka, because you seem to know everything."

"A beautiful, talented, young woman, and it seems to me that you are jealous of her!"

"Ah, ME, jealous of a blind, little cave tramp? Not a chance."

"Then you shouldn't mind me hanging out with my best friend!"

"Best friend! What does that make me?"

"MY FIANCE!"

"Well, I would rather be a best friend, because you seem to treat them much better than your fiance!"

"That's crazy talk!"

"Is it Sokka? Who left me to go find his best friend? Who left me, while I went to go get drunk! You left me. As far as I'm concerned you are going to leave me again."

"Suki, you know that I would never leave you on purpose."

"Your damage is done. I stand by my decision to leave you, just like you have done to me for all these years. Every time you left, I was the one who followed you, to the South Pole, to this damned party, to EVERYTHING!"

"Suki, please..."

"Goodbye Sokka." and like that she turned and walked out of Sokka's life. Sokka watched her walk back into the party, and he turned around and walked around a corner to find some fresh air.

"Hey, Sokka."

"AHH, oh, hi Toph."

"Sorry about you and Suki."

"Toph, it isn't your fault." and Sokka put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"She called me a whore, Sokka."

"I know Toph." now drawing her in for a deep hug.

"But why did you defend me? You didn't have to do that, I would have understood."

"Because Toph, Suki has been calling you a 'whore of a woman' for a very long time. Every time I would agree with her, just so I could stay with Suki. Every time I agreed with her, I felt my heart lose a piece, my soul weaken. I couldn't stand it anymore, and tonight was the first time I stood up for you."

"Sokka..."

"Toph, you aren't a 'whore of woman' you are a queen of a woman."

"Sokka, please. You are making me blush."

"Oops." and Sokka pulled her away, still keeping her in his tight embrace.

"I'm a really your best friend?"

"Always."

Toph turned her head, her loose hair flopping to her face and it touching Sokka.

"Your hair feels nice."

"Thank you." her head still turned to the right, hiding a deep blush and a smile.

"What ever happened to your bun?"

"I grew out of it. I'm not a little kid anymore, Sokka."

"I know, Toph, you aren't. I can see."

"Oh you can?"

"Yep, clear as day, or night in this case."

"Well, I wish I could say the same thing for you." her voice tinting in disappointment.

"Is there a place where someone could get some fresh air?"

"There is a balcony at the end of this hallway."

"Great." and Sokka took Toph's hand and he lead her to the end of the hallway.

Upon reaching the balcony, Sokka took Toph back into his arms.

"Toph, don't leave me."

"I will never do that, Sokka."

"I just..."

"Sokka, it's okay." her finger going to his mouth 'shhing' him.

"Thank you." he whispered from behind her finger, "How much can you see of me right now?"

"Just your outline, and your lips." Toph blushed, she can't remember being this close to Sokka.

"So, if you were to feel your way around my face you would see it in more detail?"

"In a way, yes." and she confirmed it with a nod, "It usually is considered impolite though if I were to do it without permission."

"You have my permission, Toph." Sokka could not brace himself to the extent of how hard Toph dug her fingers into his skull, "Toph, I really like my face, please keep it that way."

"Right, haha, sorry. I guess I'm just eager." Toph lightened her attack on his face. Now her fingers barely glanced his skin. She felt his small dimples, his ears, his hair line, his eyebrows, his nose, his eyes, his bearded chin, his jaw, his lips, his sideburns, his cheeks, the winkles on his forehead, but she never felt his broken heart. The things she felt either had two responses from Toph, either a laugh or a whispered, "Wow.". She took her hands off Sokka's face, and he continued the conversation.

"Well?"

"Ehhh," followed with a shoulder shrug, "I've seen better."

"Well, maybe you have, I wouldn't know about that. But I do know that this will be the best you will ever have."

"Someone is cocky tonight."

Sokka leaned in, Toph's useless eyes grew in excitement, and their lips touched. The world froze over. Only the heat shared from their kiss could melt the world free from it's icy coffin. Now as they parted ways the world spun back into motion,

"Your right, that was the best I ever had."

darn, this prompt was a little harder than yesterday's. And yes this is continued from yesterday's prompt 'Alone'. I had no other choice but to make the two stories like a chapters in a book. So you will have to read 'Alone' to get what this story is saying. And Jeez I am a dialogue whore anyway, thank you for reading.

EDIT: I proof read and found and fixed most of the spelling and grammar mistakes.
