A Realistic Tokka Story

Invisible

For Tokka Week # 4

Last night, Toph's room was filled with moans, thrusting, sweat, crumbled sheets, frizzled hair, claw marks on Sokka's back, and a tired Toph and Sokka. The sun shone through Toph's curtains, and a beam of light landed on her face, raising her from her slumber. She stirred her body so that it faced Sokka, and she pushed him off the bed with her feet. His body hit the floor with a slap, and jarred Sokka awake.

"Toph! What was that for!"

"You were hogging the comforter. I'm cold."

"Couldn't you have asked?"

"I guess not."

Sokka stood up and put on some pants, and a knock came at the door.

"Yes?"

"Miss Toph, the King has requested your boyfriend's presence."

"Me?"

"Oh! I didn't know he was in there Miss Toph!"

"It's cool, that's why the sock in on the handle."

"I see it now. Sorry, but the King has asked for your presence."

"Yes, I kinda got that vibe."

Toph giggled and she turned her back to Sokka, and drifted back to sleep. Sokka put on the closest shirt he could find, and he went to the Throne Room, where the Earth King was waiting.

"Ah, Sokka!"

"My King."

"Please, friends don't bow to other friends."

"Yes, you are right."

"The prince has something very important to ask you."

"The prince?"

The prince walked out from a nearby column.

"Sokka, I know you and Suki are engaged."

"Actually, I don't think we are anymore. We got into a fight, and we decided to take a step back from our relationship."

"Oh, great! I want your permission to ask to have Suki's hand in marriage."

"Can I think about it?"

"Yes, of course, you have until the end of today."

"King, prince."

Everyone exchanged bows, and Sokka walked out of the Throne Room and went to Toph's room.

"Sokka?"

"What!"

"Jeez, what crawled up your butt?"

"That prince figure wants to marry Suki!"

"Is that a good or bad thing for me?"

"Your indifferent in the equation."

"Good, keep me out of it."

"Well, I have all day to think about it."

"Great, now come back to bed."

Sokka walked over, and sat on the bed, not ashamed to crawl back under the sheets with Toph.

"SOKKA!"

"Suki?"

"What are you doing in Toph's room?"

"Omm, nothing."

"Oh, good one Sokka, she'll believe that one."

"Ssshhh, Toph."

Suki kicked the door open, and stared in horror at the scene was absorbing.

"You two didn't? Noooo, you did!"

"Did what?"

"Don't play stupid with me Sokka, we all know that you two had sex."

"Great, and thanks to you, the whole Palace knows!"

"Toph, you aren't really helping this situation."

"Not my fault, Sokka."

"I am so leaving your sorry ass for that prince guy."

"Good, he wants to marry you!"

"He does?"

"Yes, and he asked for my permission to ask for your hand in marriage. I can still say, 'no' to him Suki."

"No, please don't! I'll do anything!"

"Leave."

Suki stood there, mouth agape, and she went out of the room.

"Good job Sokka."

"What did I do this time!"

"Nothing wrong. You got Suki out of my room, thank you."

Toph wrapped her hands around his neck and back.

"Come on, I'm hungry for some breakfast."

"Okay, Toph."

Toph wrapped the sheets around her frame, and walked to her clothing screen, and changed into more appropriate clothing. She put a robe on, and followed Sokka to the kitchen. There they ate bread and cereal while drinking tea and water. Toph picked up her napkin, and asked Sokka to do something.

"Tie this around your eyes."

"Why?"

"Well, yesterday we played catch with your boomerang, I thought today you could do something for me."

"And that is to tie a napkin around my eyes?"

"Yes, I want you to see what it's like to be blind like me."

"Well, one could argue with you that aren't blind."

"I'll be here with you as your eyes."

"Haha, that's ironic. The blind leading the blindfolded."

"I guess so..."

"All right I'll do it."

"Good."

Sokka tied the napkin over his eyes, rendering him blind in a black void.

"See anything?"

"No, nothing, everything is invisible."

"Well, now you know how I feel."

"Seriously Toph, you can feel everything around you, I don't have that luxury."

"Oh boohoo. Suck it up."

"Owww, why did you punch my arm!"

"Because you are being a baby."

"Fine, so now where to?"

"Take my hand."

"Toph, I can't see your hand."

"You don't need to see it to grab it."

"It sure helps to see it."

"You know where I was last, I know you are very observant, feel it out."

Sokka extended his arm to high and clocked Toph on the cheek.

"Ow! Sokka!"

"Oh, shit, was that your face?"

"Yes!"

"Oh man, I'm so so so sorry."

"It was an accident. It's okay."

Toph put her hand on Sokka's shoulder, and slid her hand down to his. Sokka referred to a mental map of the Palace as Toph quizzed him on where they were in the Palace as they toured it. Sokka's ears became more sensitive to cope with the lose of his sight. Toph never let go of Sokka's hand, and Sokka never let go of her's. Sokka walked into a plant outside of Toph's room, causing it's pot to break and spilling dirt everywhere. Luckily, a maid was nearby and took care of the plant.

"Miss Toph, why does your husband have on a blindfold?"

"Oh, he wanted to be me for a day. Isn't that right dear?"

"Sure honey."

Sokka and Toph went out of the Palace to put Sokka to the real test. They went to the earth bending field and Toph sent rocks at Sokka, albeit not very big or fast rocks, while Sokka either dodged them or cut them with Space Sword. Sokka did this drill plenty of times while becoming a sword master after the war's end, and he still had the stuff to be perfect when Toph stopped. It was nearing lunch time, and Toph took Sokka to a restaurant and taught him how to eat, how to find your plate, your drink, and your utensils. If you can always find those things, you could eat, and Sokka was a fast learning. After lunch, they went through the town, just naming where they were. As night broke, Toph asked Sokka to go back to the Palace. Sokka stumbled into corners, back alleys, suspicious characters, and he soon gave up.

"If you give up, I'll always hold this against you."

"I don't care, I like using my eyes."

"Fine, you can take off the blindfold."

"YES!"

A rush of relief came to his body, his was no longer in the dark. The invisible void that plagued his eyes for the better part of the day. He lead Toph back to the Palace, and he put her to bed. He remembered that he had to get back to someone.

"Prince?"

"Oh, Sokka! Great to see you! Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes..."

"And?"

"You can marry Suki, she isn't happy with me anymore, but she is so happy with you. All I want for her is to be happy, and if that means her being with you, so be it."

Okay, I know this doesn't have a lot of the prompt 'Invisible.' I tried! Sokka being blindfolded was my best effort. I actually really think that making Sokka go blindfolded was a good idea. I left most of the shenanigans to you the reader. Sympathy, which is tomorrows prompt, also poses to be a hard prompt, but If I can get to legacy I know I'll make it, because I have a great idea for that one.

Yes I know this is short, but I think it is also good. I tried my best with this prompt.

EDIT: I proof read and fixed most spelling and grammar errors! The Nice looking Plant it fine, trust me.

Thanks for Reading!
