A/N: Mainly Taang, partial Zutara.
-.-.-
"Hey Toph, where'd Katara and Zuko go?" Aang asked, in his usual 'denser-than-dirt' fashion. I swear, he must be almost as bad as Sokka… Nah, no one can be that dense other than the rock himself.
"What do you mean, Aang?" I asked, trying to sound innocent, not. a. chance.
"You know what I mean, Toph. They've been gone for almost an hour, and they were only going to get firewood!"
Oh, I know what they've been doing, they can keep it a secret if they want, it's not my life to be sharing. It's like if you walk in on someone doing something unexpected, it's not your's to tell people. But yes, oh yes. I can feel their hearts race when they're near each other, I can feel them even when they're almost a mile off, one of them probably pinned to a tree attacking each other's mouths like wild beasts.
See? Not my secret to share.
"Why, do you have a crush on her or something Twinkle Toes?"
His cheeks turned slightly pink before he turned away, but I didn't know because I saw, I knew because I could feel the heat rise in his cheeks, and I felt the slight vibrations of him moving his head, and even if my earthbender pride was trying tog et in the way, I could not hide the hurt in my heart that he was in love with someone else.
Why would he love you? Said a voice in my head, and I tried so hard to block it out, I really did, but it rang in my ears until it stung. Why would Aang, a great guy, someone who has almost mastered his FOURTH element, the avatar who could have anyone he wanted want you? You're just a little blind girl who has snappy remarks and gives everyone a hard time.
I was pulled out of my depressing 'mind-talk' when I heard Aang answer me. I turned to the sound of his voice, wishing that once, just once, I would get to see the face of the boy I had so stupidly fallen for. "No," he said quietly, "I've loved someone else for much longer."
"Save it twinkle toes!" I said before getting up and beginning to stalk off.
-.-.-
Not being able to see, Toph didn't notice the look of hope spark in the avatar's hazel-grey eyes, or the small smile tugging at his lips.
Maybe… he thought, maybe there's hope.
He created some air around him so that his feet were no longer on the ground, so that he made no vibrations for her to feel.
"Wh-what are you doing?" She asked him as she felt his vibrations leave the ground. He didn't answer her until he had landed gently right in front of her and gave her a gentle, yet passionate kiss that set both of their heart rates racing, and caused the adrenaline race in their veins.
-.-.-
"I TOLD you staying out here for an hour would work!" Said Katara.
"Yeah, but you promised me… certain activities if I did this with you." He pouted.
She smiled kindly at him before hiding her mouth behind her hands and whispering, "I wasn't counting on boomerang boy, okay?"
They both smirked before turning their heads over to Sokka, who was determinedly trying to sharpen his boomerang with sticks since all of his tools were at camp. They both sighed as the stick broke and he picked up another.
None of the teens noticed the face shimmering through from the moon, smiling down at Aang and Toph. But Iroh did, and Iroh also saw the shimmery light blue powder that seemed to sprinkle over Toph's small form, and he smiled at the look on both of the youth's faces as Aang saw her eyes a dark forest green instead of a hazy jade and she saw the boy she loved for the very first time, under the light of a perfect full moon.
-.-.-
I guess what people say about love is true. Love is blind. Love comes in all ages. Love is a journey. Love is passionate, forgiving, peaceful, and intense at the same time. Love cannot be compared.
But there is one thing that everyone at that camp learned that night. They learned that love is truly full of miracles. They learned that love is truly the best way to heal a broken soul, or even sightless eyes.
And in that moment they all forgot about the war that was raging somewhere at that very moment, and they realized that they were all truly blessed.
A/N: Hmm… not sure if I like it or not, tell me if you do! (:
