A/N: So now that the Tokka Week oneshots are all in one story, I think it'll be easier to find. Rather than having seven oneshots sitting around. :)
Personally, I think Weather is much better than Worst Case Scenario. What do you guys think?
I don't own Avatar. Or Tokka Week. :(
Rain:
I hate the rain. All those millions of raindrops, pummeling into the Earth every few seconds. Not hard enough to give me a headache, not soft enough to ignore.
I never get an ounce of sleep when it rains. This means I'm all crabby the next morning, and then everyone gets annoyed at me, and there's a 50 chance that Katara and I will have an argument.
You can probably tell this has happened before.
By around 11'o'clock, Sokka and I are the only ones still awake. I can hear his yawning, but am certain that it's some macho man thing to not go to bed until after the girl does. I roll my eyes but say nothing.
"Ready to sleep?" Sokka asks, in a sleepy voice.
"No." I say. "Not yet. You can go to bed if you're tired." I can feel Sokka sitting up straighter.
"Nope. I'm not tired at all." Pity that he yawned at the end of his sentence or I might have believed him. I laugh.
He holds his hands out to the fire, rubbing them together. "Don't you just love rain at night?" he asks. "It makes everything so…cozy."
I raise an eyebrow at him. "No, not really. I'm not a big fan of rain in general."
"Why? It brings us water, helps to feed plants and it's so nice to walk around in."
"You forget, Sokka. I feel vibrations in the Earth. How do you think that feels like?"
He pauses. "Oh. Oh!"
I give a nod.
"Can you feel the rain now?" he asks, scooting a bit closer.
"Yes. I'm never able to sleep with it. Which is why, if it has to rain, it should rain during the day." I look at his testily. I'm never in a good mood during a rain storm.
All of a sudden his arms are around me. I don't even have time to yell at him before he sort of picks me up and drops me in his lap.
I've never been good with colors, but I'd say my face is the color of Zuko's fire.
"Now you can sleep," Sokka mumbles. I can hear his heart going very fast, though it probably has nothing on mine.
I almost demand at him to take me off until I realize that he was right. I can't feel the rain anymore. And this is a bit more comfortable than the ground, even if the ground is much more comfortable then a regular bed. Weird, huh?
I can hear his even breathing, he's dozed off. Well, I shouldn't wake him up. And really, this arrangement is better for everyone. I won't be crabby tomorrow and Katara and I have a lesser chance to argue.
I smile slightly, cheeks still feeling hot. Maybe the rain isn't that bad.
Sun:
"Shove that rock, Twinkle Toes!" she yells. Aang shoves the rock but it doesn't look anything like how she did it. And they both know it.
"Do you want to beat the Fire Lord?" she asks, angrily, staring at Aang, who looks annoyed.
"Hey, it is kind of hard to be mastering two elements at once, you know!"
The sun is beating down on both of them, Aang, who has discarded his shirt and Toph who hasn't discarded anything, are both are sweating profusely.
She glances in my direction, as if noticing me for the first time. I can see a hint of a blush form on her face. We haven't really spoken since Katara woke us up this morning, snickering. I guess was kind of a shock for her to find us like that, Toph in my lap and all, but really. She could have believed us when we told her what had happened. She didn't.
Toph clears her throat uncomfortably and Aang looks from her to me, back and forth.
"Um, is there something going on-?"
My face turns a bright red and she looks angrily at Aang.
"No! Now go…go practice your water games with Katara. We're done for today." Toph says impatiently.
Aang looks bewildered but leaves anyway.
Toph comes over to me hesitantly. "Hey, Sokka. I didn't know you were sitting there." She drops down next to me.
"Yeah. Well I decided to watch you two earthbend for a while." I mentally groan. Conversation hasn't been this awkward since we met up with Suki in Serpent's Pass.
"Look about last night-"
"I didn't mean to-"
We say at the same time. She grins a bit. "Go on. Mine wasn't important."
"Well I was going to say, about last night. Nothing happened, right? No need for things to be weird between us. We're friends." There's a strange expression on her face, which probably goes with the weird beating of my heart. The strange part anyway.
Toph nods slowly. "Of course. We're friends. Nothing happened, at all." She looks up at me with those clouded green eyes. It would be cool if she could see, if she could know what she looked like and what the world looked like but if she could see, she wouldn't be the Toph we all know. The Toph that I think I-.
"Did you know that you snore, Snoozles?" Toph asks, smirking.
Yes, I did know that actually.
"No! I don't snore! What are you saying?" I asked, mock offended.
She smiles.
I stop smiling.
She looks beautiful. The sun is shining down on us, making her hair shine and eyes sparkle. Yes, I'm a bit biased because I lo- like her, but she's really pretty.
Impulsively I lean down, forgetting the whole 'we are friends' thing I said less than 2 minutes ago. I barely have time to see Toph's smile shrink a little bit, before I give her a small kiss.
I open my eyes and am horrified. I missed! How could I have missed? My lips are currently connected to Toph Bei Fong's nose.
Her eyes look startled but as I reel back, humiliated, a sort of smirk starts stretching across her, currently blushing, face.
"What was that, Sokka?" she asks sweetly, probably intentionally torturing me.
"I…ah…you had a bug on your face." I say lamely.
Of course, she laughs.
The End
A/N: At first I was going to do Snow too, but then I decided not too. There are so many stories about Toph and Sokka in the snow (i.e they go to Southern Water tribe, Toph can't see...) and I decided to get rid of it. Besides the oneshot was getting long anyway.
