Lifting her face to the source of the water, Toph smiled. The raindrops landed on her teeth and leaked to her tongue, tasting sweet and free. This was her favorite way to experience water, standing on a rock hill in the midst of a summer storm. Here she couldn't drown, nor would mud blur her vision.
She was distracted enough by her own thoughts to not notice Sokka come up behind her until he had wrapped his strong arms securely around her waist. Relaxing against his chest, she grinned up, causing his heart to flutter. She enjoyed feeling the way she affected his heart, it could almost tell her what he was thinking. It also distracted her from the fact that her's speed up contently, his presence affecting her equally.
"Whatcha doing," he hummed into her shoulder, turning his head to give her neck a gentle kiss.
"Mm, watching the rain," she said seriously, turning in his arms as he placed another kiss on her chin.
"Cool," he responded after pressing his lips to her forehead. As he leaned in for her lips, her toes pushing her up to meet him, he paused, eyebrows scrunching together. "Wait..."
She laughed and said in a mock insulted voice, still up on her toes against him so that their noses brushed, "What, can't a blind girl watch that rain fall?"
His laughter rumbled through her in response, and he let his mouth finally find hers, her chuckles mixing with his own.
