"Hey, stupidest person in this room!"
Sokka looked up from his task of washing dishes to glance around the kitchen. As besides him there was only Toph, who stood in the doorway just home from work and still clad in armor, he sighed and answered, "Yes, awesomest person in this room?"
To his surprise, Toph flushed, pale cheeks turning a vibrant cherry red, at his compliment. And with that her whole tough act vanished, worrying Sokka with its fall. She had stopped reacting to the little things he said a year into their relationship, which had been going strong for five years now. 'Wow, that long?' He couldn't help thinking at he dried his hands, and moved toward her.
"You okay? Hard day at work?" he cupped a hand gently on her cheek as she stared off over his shoulder and nodded. Pressing a thumb to her hot cheek, he chuckled at the unusual amount of emotions on his love's face. "You sure? Been spending much time with Aang?"
She harrumphed, crossing her arms. "What's that suppose to mean? And coming from the guy who I come home to find washing the dishes like a good Sugarqueen."
He shrugged, stealing a quick kiss before turning back to his work, satisfied that she was fine. "I needed something to serve the meatastic dinner I have planned for tonight." He peeked over at her, now leaning on one side of the door frame. "Admiring the view?" he chuckled.
Toph smirked, hand moving to metal clad hip. "How many women come home to their warrior working away in the kitchen on their anniversary?" Ah, so she did remember. Again, that blush came to her cheeks.
And seeming to come to a decision, she removed something from a pocket. Trying to look as indifferent as possible (she should know better though, he knew her far to well to be fooled), she gently tossed an object on the counter next to him.
"Made something for you, now I'm going to change!" she babbled quickly, hurrying out of the room as he stared in shock at what she left behind.
"Toph?" he croaked, before clearing his throat and shouting after her. "TOPH BEIFONG IS THIS A BETROTHAL NECKLACE?"
A/N: Ehehe, might continue this... ^-^
