Second chapter of Revelations! ;D I have a (new) beta, but she has finals this week, so won't be able to beta until after that. So my apologies for little mistakes, those will be taken out soon!
Also, thank you very much for the reviews, please do keep sending them, I'd love to know what you think of it, what you like and don't like.

Enjoy! c:


Her eyes turned upwards, towards the almost full moon, her milky mint-colored eyes wouldn't be able to see it, so Katara was wondering why she did that.

"It's almost full moon," Katara stated while she looked in the same direction as Toph did.

"I've always wondered what the moon looked like," Toph said in a whisper and made Katara think. How could she explain what the moon looked like to Toph? It was a big white circle, but that probably wouldn't mean anything to Toph.

"Hmm, how can I explain…?" Katara thought out loud when suddenly she got an idea. "I know!" she said in a louder tone than normally.

"You do? But how?" Seriously Sugar Queen, you deserve an award if you can, but I doubt it."

"Thanks for the trust, Toph."

"You're welcome," Toph said with an innocent smile and Katara rolled with her eyes, typically Toph.

"Okay, I'll come sit behind you and I'll show you," Katara said, not responding to Toph's earlier comment. She scooted up and sat behind Toph, laying her legs next to Tops and taking Toph's hands in her own. She rested her head on Toph's right shoulder when Toph suddenly turned her head around.

"What are you doing?!" Toph snapped in reaction, she wasn't expecting the sudden touch of their skin and batted Katara's hands away from hers.

"Ow, Toph! Like I said, I'll show you, if you let me!"

"Hmph. Okay." Toph cursed at herself, she had to get herself together. "Focus, Toph!"

"Or not. Your pick, Sourpuss."

"Don't call me that!" Toph snapped and glared in Katara's direction.

"You call me 'Sugar Queen' all the time, so we're even."

"Yeah, whatever. Just show me already!"

"Calm down, lady. Patience," Katara said and took Toph's hands in her own again.

"Okay, you can earth bend, so you'll have to work with me so I can actually try to explain and show you what it looks like." Toph nodded slowly and let Katara move her hands in the air, as Katara cupped her hands, hers automatically did, too. Katara's hands were soft and very gentle, as if she were afraid Toph's were made of porcelain and would break. Toph also noticed that Katara's hands were warm, even though it wasn't warm at all and there was a constant cool breeze. Toph shook her head lightly, bringing herself back to focus on the movement of Katara's hands.

They moved down slowly, but a bit to the side and down more, Toph noticed that it must be a round shape.

"Oh, that's easy!" Toph said with a grin and put her hands on each other, space between them and moved them a bit upward.

"Can you try to smooth the rough edges?"

"No problem," Toph answered and moved her hands the way Katara's had a few seconds ago. Katara looked at the earth being molded into a round shape; it would probably work, to her surprise, because she hadn't been too sure that it would.

"Yes, now create some… How should I explain?" Katara thought out loud how could she explain what craters looked like in a way Toph could bend the ball of earth she had between her hands.

"Just put your hands on mine again and move my fingers the way I should bend, that could work," Toph suggested and Katara nodded.

"Good idea," Katara agreed and put her hands on Toph's again. She lightly pushed down Toph's right thumb, middle finger and pink and her left index and ring finger. Again, the movements of Katara's fingers were very gentle, Toph noticed.

The result was pleasing. it really looked very much like a full moon. "I think it's finished," Katara said as she examined the earth-shaped moon-figure.

"But it's so small?" Katara chuckled and Toph turned her head, raising an eyebrow. Not understanding what was so funny.

"Yeah, it would take probably months to create a true-sized one. The moon is about one-third of the earth's size."

"It's a… planet?"

"Hmm, you could say that, yeah, it's very far away. So we actually made an earth-shaped moon in the size as we see it here on earth," Katara explained.

"Oh," Toph whispered as she ran her fingers over the ball of earth in her hands."But how does it look like?"

"It's white, but I can't really explain the color white… I wish I could, the only think I know how to explain it as, it that's it pale, extremely pale."

"Thanks Katara, you put so much effort in trying to explain. Not many people have done that for me; mostly they grow impatient and give up…" Katara looked at her friend and thought she saw Toph's eyes get watery, but maybe it was just the moonshine. She let out a breath and put her arms around the blind earth bender's torso, pressing hers against Toph's back. Toph felt Katara's chest pressing against her back, Katara's body heat radiated through her clothes on Toph's back and made a shiver go through the blind girl's spine. Toph felt how her back started to warm up slowly, it felt rather nice, since it was actually pretty cool.

"You're welcome, Toph, I'm glad I've helped you," Katara responded and closed her eyes while hugging the girl in front of her. Toph sighed, enjoying the warmth of the water bender against her back.

.

"Katara, can I ask you something?" Toph asked carefully while playing with the earth-shaped moon in her hands, she was kinda nervous, but she decided to do it. Katara raised her head a bit so she could speak.

"Sure Toph, what is it?" she answered calmly.

"Since we're both girls and all, I thought it'd be safe to ask you… What's it like to…? You know, kiss someone?" Toph asked in a voice that wasn't much louder than a whisper, she felt blood rushing to her cheeks, causing them to get a few shades darker than her skin color. Katara was a bit startled by Toph's question-she didn't expect this kind of question from the girl. She knew Toph as a rather tough girl, or at least that's how she acted most of the time. Tough was bold and rather boy-like. She hadn't seen this side of her friend before.

"Err, well… It's nice and err…" she wasn't so good at explaining things like this, she knew what it was like, but how to explain to someone else, that wasn't so easy as she wished it was. "It gives you a nice and warm feeling, if you really like the person you're kissing, that is. It can cause a tickly feeling in your stomach and… Yeah, that's pretty much it…" Katara stumbled. She really wasn't good at this, a sigh slipped through her lips and she leaned back, creating space between her and the earth bender.

"What is it? You don't sound very convincing, to be honest."

"I know, sorry, but I'm no good at this, I don't know how to explain. I know what it's like, I know exactly how it feels and all, but to explain it… That's quite difficult…" she admitted. She felt how her cheeks colored a deep pink, and she turned away her head. But then remembered that it wouldn't matter, since Toph wouldn't be able to see it anyway. What she didn't see because of that was that Toph's cheeks colored a darker pink as well.

"Is it making you uncomfortable?" Toph asked carefully, but calm. Katara was unaware of the fact that she was holding her breath, until she tried to answer.

"N—No. no. It's just hard to explain, that's a—"

"Wake up Sugar Queen, you know I can tell when you're telling the truth," Toph said, a little smug. Katara sighed and felt the urge to slap herself. How could she forget about that?

"I am tell—"

"No, you're not."

"Okay, it is. Happy now?"

"Happy, no. That's not exactly how I'd call it, but I can handle it. But seriously, why is it making you uncomfortable? Is it weird to ask?" Katara had to think before she responded, it wasn't weird to ask, so indeed, why was it making her so uncomfortable? Toph waited for Katara to respond, wondering if she should've asked Katara the question in the first place.

"I don't kno—"

"Wrong," Toph said after making a disagreeing sound. "Have you ever even kissed someone?" she then asked the water bender, who shifted into a defensive position with her body.

"Yes I have!" she snapped, crossed her arms and moved away from Toph. How did she dare? Of course Katara had kissed somebody before, she was almost fifteen.

"You're way too easy, Sugar Queen," Toph said and chuckled. Although, it sounded a bit like a nervous chuckle to Katara. "But well, I haven't. Are we even again now?" Katara turned around again to see Toph's face. she wasn't smiling, rather looking sad.

"You've never kissed before?"

"Wasn't that what I just said? Do you think I'm lying here?!"

"No, no, that's not how I meant it! It's just hard to imagine, since you're really pretty and all, I thought you've kissed before," Katara said, trying to calm Toph down, she didn't want to argue with her. Not again.

"If I had, why would I ask what it's like?" Katara was stunned at her own stupidity, her head was playing games, at least that's what it felt and looked like to the water bender.

"Right. Sorry, my head's really not working the way it should…"

.

Katara sighed and let herself fall backwards and rested on the soft earth. She vaguely noticed how Toph did the same. she sensed Toph's body close to hers and turned her head, towards Toph's face. She was closer than Katara first thought Toph was, the earth bender turned her head as well, looking straight into Katara's eyes. Katara gasped quietly, but didn't move, there was nothing to be afraid of, it was just Toph. She couldn't see Katara, although her eyes stared into Katara's as if Toph was trying to say something without words. Toph's eyes were a milky mint-color, but clear as crystals and somehow a little intriguing, Katara couldn't make herself look away.

"Your eyes are actually really pretty, you know," Katara said in a whisper.

"No, since I can't see them, I don't know," Toph whispered back and stuck out her tongue to Katara, "But thanks for the compliment."

"That wasn't how I meant it and you know that, Toph."

"I know, but it's funny though."

"Glad you think so."

"Wish I could say the same, but I have no idea what you look like, not even mentioning your eyes," Toph sighed. These were the moments where she really disliked being blind, the small things.

"Would you want to know what I look like? I mean—"

"I know what you mean and well… I have only 'seen' people who are very close to me, like my parents and a few servants from back home. It's not as if I can go ahead and ask everyone if I can 'see' what they look like, it'd cause awkward moments, so I rarely ask to," Toph interrupted Katara, explaining. Katara hummed, as sign that she understood.

"Well, if it helps you, I'll offer it myself, and you can 'see' what I look like, if you want to. I know I'd want to if I were in your situation. So…" Katara offered. She gently took Toph's hand with hers and brought it to her cheek and laid down Toph's hand there. Toph's body froze for a second or two, but told herself to relax and let Katara lead her hand to Katara's face. She felt how Katara put her hand on Katara's cheek, which was warm. Katara's hand left Toph's and let Toph touch her face so Toph could 'see' what she looks like. Top's hand was pretty soft, even though there was a little callus on her fingertips, she was being very gentle.

Toph moved her fingers slowly over Katara's face, carefully. Moving from her one cheek, over Katara's chin, to the other cheek. Then Toph's finger moved up, towards Katara's temple and forehead. While Toph was moving her fingers over Katara's face, Katara tried to keep her breath even, which wasn't exactly easy, she had no idea why, but she knew it was harder than she imagined. She felt how Toph's fingers traced between her eyebrows, over the bridge of her nose, followed by her eyelids which were closed now. The gentle touch moved to the tip of her nose and came to her upper lip; Katara felt how her heart-rate sped up suddenly. This was something that Toph didn't miss, but she didn't make a comment about it, although it was kind of funny. Katara's lips started to tingle a little as Toph's fingers traced them slowly, upper lip and then the little fuller, lower lip.

Katara opened her eyes again, expecting Toph to remove her hand, but Toph didn't. Apparently she wasn't finished yet, because her hand moved to the side, over Katara's cheek to her ear shell. Katara held her breath and felt her body freeze, hoping Toph wouldn't, but it was inevitable. Before she knew it, she felt Toph's fingertips on her right ear shell, since she was lying on top of the other one. A shiver went through her body, Katara repeated the same line in her head over and over, "Keep it in, Katara. Keep it in…" She pressed her lips together, trying to not let the sounds slip outside. She felt her ear tingle and she started to get warm all over, she couldn't help it, she had absolutely no control over this.

"What's wrong? Am I not allowed to touch you there? Your heart's racing, like really fast…" Toph asked in a whisper and held her hand still, not even an inch above Katara's ear.

"No, no… It's… It's okay…" Katara stuttered. It wasn't so much that Toph wasn't allowed to touch her there, but it was a very sensitive spot. Normally she didn't let anyone touch her ears, but she promised Toph that she could 'see' her, which included her ears.

"You sure?" Toph asked Katara, she wasn't too convinced that it was okay for her to touch Katara's ear and she didn't want to 'hurt' her friend in any way. She felt Katara nod under the touch of her hand, so she carefully continued. She made sure to touch Katara's ear very carefully and gentle, but she couldn't know that it would make it only worse. Katara was internally fighting the urge to let the sounds get out of her, Toph's light touch made it only harder. Up until the point where Katara lost control for a split second and immediately hated herself for it.

A sound came from Katara's mouth, it sounded like a… A suppressed moan? Toph raised her eyebrows in surprise and chuckled.

"What's wrong Sweetness? Was that it?" Toph couldn't help laughing, she didn't mean it in a bad way though, and it just sounded weird, in a funny way.

"Shut up, Toph!" Katara hissed and batted away Toph's hand, feeling a little offended by Toph's comment. She was trying to help the blind girl and this was her 'thank you'?! That was exactly the reason why Katara let nobody ever touch her ears, it was embarrassing. Katara turned her back towards Toph by rolling on to her other side, out of nowhere tears welled up in her eyes. It was all just a little bit too much, she had no idea what was happening to her and it was frightening.

Toph was surprised to feel the ground next to her buzz a little, she couldn't make anything of it, but when she heard soft sobs she understood that Katara must be crying. This wasn't her intention at all and she sighed at herself. "Way to go, Toph." She wasn't very good at these things, even when she tried to be subtle; she was being blunt, even though it was unintentionally.

"Why are you crying?" Toph really wasn't good at this and right now she really disliked herself for it. She stretched out her arm and searched for Katara's shoulder, she obviously had moved away from Toph. When Toph found Katara, she put her hand on Katara's shoulder. "Katar—"

"Back off!" Katara hissed and wanted to bat away Toph's hand, but Toph grabbed her by the wrist instead.

"No, I won't back off. Listen Sugar Queen, I know that I'm not good at this and well, I could say I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I'm trying to help and if you'd know me by now, you know that things just come out of my mouth bluntly, even when I don't mean to. So no, I'm not backing off!" Toph said, speaking pretty loudly. Toph couldn't stop the words flooding out of her mouth, even though she tried.

Katara turned around and put her hand over Toph's mouth to shut her up.

"Okay, fine. But can you at least try to be quiet?! Don't yell, or you'll wake up the boys."

"Oh please, Sweetness. They're way too far to hear us, even if we were yelling, plus, I'd know if they'd be coming this way," Toph spoke, even though Katara's hand still covered her mouth.

"But still, just keep it down okay?" Toph didn't mind the touch of Katara's hand so much, but she did like to be able to breathe normally, so she thought of a way to get Katara to move her hand away herself. Toph nodded and licked Katara's hand when she still hadn't removed it.

"Hey!"

"What did you just say? That I had to keep it down…?" Toph said with a smirk and Katara sighed.

"Well, you licked my hand."

"So? You didn't pull it away, so I made you," Toph said, still wearing the smirk.
