A/N: Did you all forget… Mai? ………. And this is where the rated T comes in.
Chp.21: I Do
They kept kissing, to involved to stop. Their bodies were underneath the dark blue covers. With the other hand Zuko wasn't using to hold onto Toph's face he used to lift her shirt slightly and placed his hand on her stomach to feel her warmth. But Toph had enough. She lifted his shirt off completely and threw it somewhere on the ground, throwing it completely carelessly. Imitating her actions, he lifted her shirt off completely and threw it. Toph doing the pleasure to take her skirt off, and then Zuko taking his pants off…
Toph tightened her grip on his arms as they kissed and kissed, almost even clawing him. His hands slipped on her back, fingers set on the hook of her bra. He stopped kissing her, fingers frozen in place. Their foreheads touching each other's as the silence occurred. After more seconds of silence Zuko tried to break the awkwardness. He licked her upper lip, making Toph impatient. "Just do it already," she says, tangling her legs with his. Zuko stayed silent for about 10 seconds and rolled on his back, laying next to Toph, other than on her. He sighed, and then replied.
"I can't." Again silence invaded them. Toph not knowing how to respond and Zuko feeling a little guilty-believe it-even. After some seconds again, Toph turned to Zuko and finally replied.
"I thought you weren't God." Zuko chuckled lightly.
"God would have never done those things." Toph chuckled as well and they found themselves laughing heartily. Then they began to get awkward around each other, making the laugh fade and die out. They had realized their position in being stripped down from their clothes. Every single little thing stripped away except for their underwear. But then again, they were drunk so they didn't really give a-.
Zuko placed his forehead on hers and began to trace her soft lips. "Forgive me, will you?"
"How could I not," she smiled. Zuko stared at her and grabbed onto her hand.
"Be mine."
"I am. Love me."
"I do. Love me."
"… I do." They kissed and smiled, kissed and smiled once more. Zuko pulled her in closer and held onto her, hugging her tightly. "I need you.-," she was interrupted
"Then open up your heart. I need you, too."
"- Because I love you." Zuko began to fiddle with a lock of Toph's hair, totally oblivious of his commitment to having a girlfriend. As in being Mai.
Toph broke the hug and began to kiss him again, tongues unfearfully starting a playful yet passionate fight. "I need you," Zuko repeated more desperately this time.
