Author's Notes: I'm lazy, so I decided to just post G-J together. :P I think this is a pretty good bunch, if I do say so myself.
And, just in case you'd actually like to know, I'm finishing up a fluff-infested oneshot. Tokka, of course, that just gets longer and longer the more Sokka thinks, the silly boy. Hopefully I'll have it done soon. There's a summary in my profile if you want an idea of what the crazy thing's going to be about.
And remember to review. Make me a happy author! Author's like feedback.

Gentle
Toph was tough and stubborn and lots of other adjectives Sokka could think of, and he surprised himself with a particular one: gentle.
No one thought of Toph as gentle, he knew that, but when it was Toph and Sokka time, just the two of them, he saw something.
When she wasn't arguing with him or calling him Meathead, she was sweet and gentle and surprising, even in the way she touched his arm or said his name.
Sokka felt proud that he was the one seeing this transformation, even if he didn't know he was the one causing it.
Her
After Yue died, she was all Sokka thought about.
Starting a fire reminded him of her hair. He could see her eyes when he watched Katara and Aang Waterbend. Her voice haunted him in the dead of night. She was everywhere.
Then he met Suki. She was kind, caring, sweet, and reminded him a little of Yue, but she just wasn't the same.
He still thought of her every day.
Then he met Toph. She was sarcastic, demanding, arrogant, and as different from Yue as a girl could be.
Sokka wondered why he didn't think of Yue as much anymore.
Ignorance
Ignorance is bliss.
Toph had never liked the saying, though she could understand where it came from.
Take Sokka, for instance. Did he notice how she picked on him more than Twinkle Toes or Sugar Queen? Did he notice how she'd been cool and guarded with Suki? Did he ever stop to think why she would hold on to his arm instead of Aang's? Did he notice how they were always being thrown together?
No, of course not. Sokka was ignorant, a living reference to the saying.
Sometimes Toph wondered if ignorance really was bliss, 'cause she wasn't very happy.
Jealous
All he could think of was how wonderfully sweet she tasted—
"Why're you making that face?" Toph's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Ew, you're thinking about kissing Suki again, aren't you? Time to think about something else, Ponytail."
"But I can't help it!" Sokka whined.
"And I can't help this." Toph kicked up a rock that hit him in the knee.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"Now you can think about your pain instead of girls." She shot him a smug grin.
"Thanks a lot, Toph."
"D'you need me to kiss it better, Snoozlebear?" She almost sounded sincere.
Toph, jealous? Never….
