Dagger
Please, she thought, Just please.
Sometimes it was just too much. She could pretend it didn't hurt, having her here, but each moment was like a dagger to the heart and it was getting harder and harder to act like she was fine with everything.
It shouldn't hurt her so much, she figured. She had known Suki had existed, right? And there was no way she could hate the Kyoshi Warrior, she was a good person and she had helped them so much at the Serpent's Path. She had saved her life, for the spirits' sakes. And Sokka really, really liked her. That should have been enough for her. It should have been enough.
Maybe, Toph considered, if she kept repeating those words she would start to believe them too.
I know, I know - it's short. But drabbles are meant to be relatively short, ey? :D
I guess this piece takes place sometime between the end of TBR and before the finale? Maybe even during the beginning of the finale. But yeah. I hope you like it!
