More Than Useless
2. Green With Envy
-
Suki was never one for jealousy. She always kept her emotions under check. Sokka had a girlfriend in the north? That was fine; she understood that their relationship had been a special one.
The crush on the girl in the Fire Nation was a stretch, but later Suki would admit that it had been a while since Sokka had seen a girl that wasn't his sister or a tomboy.
What she didn't get, was Toph Beifong. Why in the world would be have picked that little girl over her?
One day she decided to compile a list of things that would make Sokka pick Toph over her. Hopefully this would give her some form of closure, or something like that.
Currently the list had a grand total of two things: 'she was a world-class earthbender' and 'her eyes are pretty.' Suki tapped her pen against the paper, willing ideas to come to her. There was no way Sokka left her for a girl who could toss some rocks around and had nice eyes.
She threw her pen down in disgust and rubbed her forehead furiously. Why was she even freaking out about something so small like this? Sokka was just a boy!
A boy whom she was madly, deeply and utterly in love with.
And it struck her in one blinding flash of understanding. At first she didn't believe it but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
She, Suki, leader of the Kyoshi Warrior and one of the Avatar's closest companions, was jealous.
Not jealous of any old girl. She was jealous of a girl who was two years younger than her, more of a man than anyone Suki had met, had absolutely no chest and was currently travelling with Sokka. Together. With no one else around.
No way. She shook her head. "I can't be jealous! She's just Toph." Suki said it aloud, trying to convince the room as much as herself.
Definitely not jealous.
Not her.
Not Suki.
Not of Toph Beifong.
Not of her earthbending.
Not of her beautiful eyes.
Not jealous. Definitely.
Two year later, when Toph and Sokka were kissing after Avatar Aang had blessed them to a long life together, Suki would admit that she was perhaps a bit envious.
Not jealous. Just envious.
Author's Note
Short, Suki-centric and compeltely random.
