Tokka Week 5 Day 6: Tease
"Kya, where's your father?" Toph asked.
"In my bed sleeping."
"Oh for goodness sake's, it's almost noon and he's still sleeping. Sam be a dear and watch Kya."
"Yes ma'am. Come on Kya let's play outside."
"Okay!" Kya jumped and skipped outside as Toph walked up stairs hearing her husband's distinct snore. She snuck into Kya's bed and draped his arm over her.
"Kya, you seem to have gotten bigger over night." Sokka said, Toph could hear his smile.
"You should know how your wife feels by now."
"I have learned." he groped her inner thigh.
"Now now," she pushed his hand away, "save it for later." Sokka groaned in despair as a result.
"It's always, 'later'." he huffed.
"I know." she trailed a finger down his chin tracing his strong jaw line.
"We are on our daughter's bed." Sokka said being a voice of reason.
"She's outside with Sam, who says we can't have some fun?" Toph said as her emotions started to get the best of her.
"We can wait till tonight." Sokka breathed down her nape.
"You're right," she reached up and kissed him, "let's just snuggle."
Their thoughts returned to back when they were dating, back to the fun and mischief they created. Staying awake late at night when they really meant to have an 'all-nighter'. Sokka focused on their honeymoon and wedding night; Toph, on the night Kya was conceived. When they heard Kya come in from outside their thoughts shifted to bills, how they are going to pay for Kya's education, soon life's little problems became to big for the couple to bear. They needed a night away, a night for themselves. They soon heard Kya come racing up the stairs, and they quickly scrambled to get out of her bed. Toph was the first one and managed to pull Kya away long enough to let Sokka out of the bed, he let out a cough to signal to Toph. Sokka went down-stairs to talk to Sam as Toph stayed upstairs to play with Kya.
"Sam." Sokka said walking into the kitchen.
"Sokka, you don't look so well."
"Sam, the misses and I need a night to our own."
"I can leave the house if you want." Sam put down the cup he was cleaning.
"I think we'll leave for a hotel, have a nice dinner, all that mumbo-jumbo." he waved his hand.
"I see, I can watch over Kya for the night."
"Thanks Sam. You do so much for us anyway. I feel we ask too much of you."
"Sokka," he put a hand on Sokka's shoulder, "you could ask me to do anything and everything and it still won't be too much."
"Thanks Sam." Sokka nodded to him. Sokka told Toph over lunch the plan and she accepted and payed her thanks to Sam as well. As the evening grew on Sokka slipped on his best suit, and Toph slipped on her best dress. They went the Jasmine Dragon's VIP lounge, a special section reserved for the most honored dinner guests.
"I'll be your waiter."
"Iroh?" Sokka exclaimed in delight. "Toph it's Iroh."
"I know, Sokka. Good evening Iroh."
"And a good evening to the pleasant couple. A night away perhaps?" Toph blushed at the comment and Sokka cleared his throat, "Yes, Iroh. So if you please."
"Tonight's specials include ..."
The evening's dinner was splendid and the added fact of an old friend added to the extravagance of the evening. Upon reaching the hotel Sokka carried Toph up the stairs bridal style to their room. Here they carried out onto each other until the break of dawn. They slept soundly in each other's arms.
"Sam?"
"Yes, Kya?"
Sam was tucking in Kya for bed after playing a board game, where she remembered the story Sokka told her the night before.
"Do you know a Sammy Biggola?"
"Yes, I'm him. Why?"
"When daddy and mommy had you trapped in the coffin what did daddy say to you?"
"Well, Kya, that's a secret. You have to promise not to tell anyone."
"I promise!"
Day 6: Tease
Okay... Let's be honest... this prompt sucked major butt. I take pride in all of my work, but … this one … I can't say I take much pride in this. I apologize in advance for how much this one sucked compared to the rest of the week.
