Summary: 'If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever?' - Casper
"Toph?"
"Yes?"
"I'll… I'll miss you."
Toph bites her lip. "I guess I might miss you too, Twinkletoes," she says awkwardly - she has never been good with mushy emotional stuff.
"Well… will you be at the wedding?"
"Do you think I wouldn't be?"
Aang smiles. "Then I'll see you then. But it's a long way off and…"
"Twinkletoes? Spit it out."
"IfitelyouIlikuwilustay?"
"Right, and I'm supposed to understand that?"
Aang feels his heart sink slightly - why does everyone reject him? First Katara for Zuko (though she hadn't said it at the time), now Toph was rejecting him - for Sokka? But Sokka had Suki…
"I can't. Mother wouldn't let me."
He almost chokes. "You understood that?"
"The last three words."
Sighing dejectedly, he supposes it is for the better.
A/N: I love Aang. Don't you? And Toph is my second favourite character from any fandom. Luna from Harry Potter is first, but only because I'm like Luna - strange and stuff, only I'm more clumsy (yesterday, I fell off my bed, and not to mention at school I give myself bruises from walking into things and ended up grazing my knees a lot because I tend to trip over paper and nonexistent cracks really easily).
Anyways, same goes for before: give me prompts, and eventually I will write them.
Oh, by the way, does anyone want me to continue this into a story? Not saying I will, but I'm tossing the idea around…
