*Om nom nom*
Zuko watched in horror as Toph chewed her omelette loudly and with her mouth open spraying little bits of food everywhere. He was sure she was only doing it to annoy him.
"Can you eat any louder?" Zuko asked sarcastically the annoyance in his tone clearly detectable.
"Sure can. Watch"
*OM NOM NOM*
"Ugh, it's my own fault for provoking her" he thought to himself and he leaned his cheek on his hand as he watched her eat or better yet devour her food.
"So have you thought of a Plan-B on how you're going to win Sokka over?"
Toph stopped chewing her food.
"Um...no..actually...I was kinda hoping that'd you'd come up with a plan." She muttered shyly
"... I figured as much, anyways just hurry up and finish eating already." He told her, and she listened.
Once Toph was finished eating her breakfast they began their small walk to school.
After they arrived at the school Zuko walked with Toph to her class.
"So what's the plan?" Toph asked before entering the class
"I don't know yet." Zuko answered
"Maybe I s-"
"Morning you two" Sokka's voice interrupted her.
"Hey." Zuko said and he glanced over at Sokka before turning his gaze over to Toph. She just stood there with a blush on her face unable to speek.
"Is something wrong with Toph?" Sokka asked
"Yeah..actually there's a lot wrong with her." Zuko muttered the last part, earning him a kick to the shin
Sokka smiled at them and placed his hand on Zuko's shoulder.
"Lets get to class or you'll be late again." Sokka told him and together they went to their class.
"Yeah." he replied and looked at Toph one last time before going to class.
...
Moments before school was over Zuko sat in class, ignoring the teacher's rant about chakras, as he stared out the window, trying to come up with a plan for Toph.
"So I was thinking that we should get together and hang out at Kyoshi-Bucks after school. What do you think?" Sokka whispered over to Zuko.
"Hm?" Zuko questioned
"Oh but Katara can't come she's going to visit Gran Gran" Sokka continued. Then an Idea struck Zuko.
"Uh yeah, sounds great" he replied
"Ok then- wait really?" Sokka questioned
"Huh?" Zuko asked confused
"It's just you've never accepted any of my invitations before" Sokka told him
"Well if you don't want me to come then don't invite next time."
"No, no, no it's nothing like that, I'm just a bit surprised is all, anyways I'll meet you guys there I have something's to do at home first."
*Ding Dong Ding Dong* the bell rang and every student began packing up their belongings
"So I'll meet you guys there then." Sokka said as he packed his things and ran out the door.
"Later Toph!" He yelled as he passed her
"B-B-Bye!" Toph said with a blush
Zuko looked up and saw Toph waiting for him at the door. He got up from his desk and walked towards her.
"I have a plan."
"Really?" Toph said as her face lit with excitement
"Yeah, but first we have to get you ready for your 'date'." He told her
"D-D-Date!?" Toph asked surprised by the sudden statement
"I'll explain on the walk home."
Moments later Toph and Zuko began walking home
"So, Sokka agreed to go on a d-date with me?" Toph asked shyly
"Uh no, not exactly" Zuko replied and he saw her frown
"Then what did you mean by date?" She questioned
"We're going to wait for Sokka to meet us at Kyoshi-Bucks and once Sokka shows up, I'll make an excuse and leave. Then the two two of you will be alone as if it were date"
"I'll be on a date with Sokka?" She said to herself
Zuko smirked as he saw her smiling.
...
Moments later after they had arrived at Toph's apartment Zuko was waiting for her in the living room, as she finished showering.
"Tch, for someone who put up such a huge fight against showering, she sure is taking a long time." He muttered and looked at his watch.
A few seconds passed and Zuko heard the shower knobs turn, and the water stopped running through the pipes in the wall. Then he heard the bathroom door open.
"It's about ti-" Zuko stopped mid sentence and he turned his eyes widened and he turned as a red as a tomato.
"Woah, what's wrong? Your heart's beating like crazy."
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes!" Zuko yelled as he closed his eyes and turned away.
"Huh?" Toph asked and she reached to touch her shirt only to feel her skin.
"Y-Y-You pervert!" You saw didn't you!" She yelled out embarrassed
"N-No I didn't see anything!" He said defensively as he turned to face her before quickly turning back around.
"I can tell your lying!" She exclaimed.
"J-Just go get dressed already!" he told her, and she went on to her room.
...
A few minutes later, both of them were sitting on the living room couch, in an awkward silence and a slight blush on both their faces.
Zuko glanced over at Toph and saw her sitting there with her hair tangled up and still wet.
"Go brush and blow dry your hair." He told her breaking the silence
"I don't have a blow dryer." She replied
"Oh"
*Awkward Silence*
"We have to go in a bit,so finish getting ready" he continued and got out of his seat.
"I- I can't go, I can't show up like this, I bet I look horrible" she said with a small frown.
"It doesn't matter what you look like." Zuko told her but she didn't budge.
Zuko sighed as he walked towards Toph and sat behind her his legs surrounding hers, and he took a deep breath
Toph sat there eyes wide in surprise by his actions, she opened her mouth to say something but stopped when she felt his hot breath against her ear.
"W-W-What are you doing y-you pervert" she stuttered
"I-It's not like that! I'm drying your hair you idiot!"
"O-Oh" Toph muttered
"Honestly." Zuko thought in his head as he took another deep breath and exhaled onto her.
"Perv."
"Ugh."
