"Sokka, stop it," Toph told the warrior with a stern, yet playful, glare.
For the past ten minutes he had been trying to kiss the girl's neck.
"Can you guys please get a tent or something?" Katara asked trying not to hurl from the sight.
"Please," Aang begged, as Zuko threw Sokka a glare.
"Fine, fine," Sokka said. "Come on Toph."
"No, I think I'll stay here thanks," she laughed.
"Please?" Sokka begged her with a wasted puppy dog face.
"No."
"Please, Toph?" he whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
"Fine," she sighed, letting him lead her to one of the tents a little ways from the fire.
"What do you think they're doing?" Aang asked, when they heard a soft bang from inside the tent.
"Toph's too respectable to let it go any farther than kissing. That was probably just pushing Sokka off of her or hitting him in the head for trying to push her farther. As if he could," Katara laughed.
"What do you think Zuko?" the young Avatar asked.
"I think I'm going to go for a walk. See you guys later," Zuko said before heading off to the woods.
"Why was she with Sokka? He didn't respect her. Not at all. All he liked about her was the fact that she was a good make out partner, probably more than that if she would allow the pervert to take it that far. He was constantly trying, and nearly succeeding, in trying to swallow her tongue or suck her face off.
"I would be so much better for her. I understand her. I know that Toph is scared to death of water and the idiot threw her in. I know that she loves to 'watch' the sunset even though she couldn't see. She explained to me that it was because she could feel the world changing from one to the other.
"Yes I am much better for her," he though just as he was knocked down from a wave of rock racing through the forest.
"Toph?" he asked confused.
The rock stopped moving and Toph turned towards him. Toph's face was a pink color, like a blush, and her eyes looked watery, but none of the tears had fallen yet.
"Toph what's wrong?" he asked.
"Zuko?"
"Yeah?"
Toph walked over to him and did something he though she would never do. She slowly wrapped her arms around Zuko's waist and buried her face in his thin shirt. Zuko soon felt wet spots soak through his shirt, and the girl's shoulders began to slightly rack with sobs.
"Toph, Sokka didn't do anything that…he didn't…he didn't do something you didn't want him to did he?" Zuko asked rubbing her back and her tears began to cease. "I'll kill him if he touched her in any way with her consent. It would only take a second too, or I could burn him in all his pressure points and let him suffer to his death.
"Of course not," she sniffled. "He's too afraid of me."
"Then what happened?"
"He found out," she told him.
"Huh? Toph, you're not making any sense," he told her confused.
"I like him I really do, but he found out that I like you, well…more," she said tilting her head down, so he couldn't see her face.
"Me?" he asked.
"Zuko you're such an idiot. Sokka figured it out. He figured out that I liked you so much that I think…I think I might actually love you okay?" she asked pulling away from him and going over to a tree about three feet away.
"Toph is in love with…me?" he thought going into a slight shock. "Not Sokka, ME!" Maybe Agni really was watching out for him.
She could feel his eyes on her but the silence was driving her insane. Finally, after about five minutes, she asked,
"Zuko will you please say something? I don't even care what, just something to know that you heard what I just said."
Zuko walked over to her, incapable of words. He crossed the small distance in two large strides and pulled her into his arms before turning her around and pressing his lips to hers. He finally leaned away, but Toph stood on the tips of her toes making the kiss last a second longer.
"I've been wanting to hear you say that for a week after I got her. Needless to say, I love you too, Toph," he said before hugging her tightly.

So there's 'J' Not as proud of this one as others, but I don't hate it as much of others either. A friend pointed out that I really don't appreciate my work enough, so I'm trying harder to do just that. It's HARD!!
Well tell me what you think, because feedback makes me fell even better about it. And I'm not just talking about the good reviews either, the criticism (critique anyway) make me feel good too.
Love you guys!
