Promise

We were falling. I had to keep her safe. I lost Yue... I lost Suki (well, only for the moment, hopefully)... I couldn't lose her too.
The ship was falling. I had to keep her safe. I tackled her to the ground, protecting her from the debris.
My sword was falling. I had to keep her safe. I threw it at a guard so she would be okay.
She was falling. I had to keep her safe. I gripped tighter onto her hand, never letting go.
We were falling. I had let go of the ship. We were both going to die...
That was the nightmare Sokka was having for the past seven years. He and his best friend had gone through a lot since then. Traveling to the South Pole, finishing that dance, drinking cactus juice, Toph in a skirt...
Now that he thought of it, she did look pretty in that skirt...
Though she didn't put the makeup on like she said she would. It didn't matter, though. Aw, heck, she was pretty no matter what she wore.
The warrior felt guilty about it, though. Four years ago, Suki wanted a divorce. They were both eighteen. Was it a year of change?
The man looked back at the now grown earthbender, who surprisingly, didn't mind the cold as much as Suki did. Or was she hiding that from him, for his sake?
Sokka wasn't quite sure.
He remembered his nightmares. Back then, he wasn't sure about their relationship. Now watching over her, he knew that he loved her. He wasn't sure how or why, but he knew he loved her, and that was all that mattered.
The horrid nightmares were replaced by pleasant dreams.
"Hey Toph,"
She turned to look at me. "What is it?"
Here goes...
"Well, uh, you see, Toph, I think I may be... attracted to you in some way-"
She stopped my honestly stupid jabber with a hard kiss to the lips.
Once I realized that fact, I wrapped my arms around her waist, deepening it.
I had never felt so exhilarated in my life.
I knew I loved her.
And I knew I had made the right choice.
A/N: TA-DA!! I felt like these oneshots should be combined in some form, so that's how I used this prompt. Just if you didn't catch it, Sokka is 22, and Toph is 19. I liked how I made the dreams in first person, and the reality in third person. I hated having to break Sukka up though. Seemed a bit cliche' :p Review please! Now I'm going to my friend's party. :)
