Guilty
"You know, someone should tell Twinkle Toes to put a shirt on."
At Toph's odd, and slightly random, point, Katara looked up from cutting up and preparing their nights dinner. She looked at the earth bender, who jerked her head to the side to motion to where Aang and Sokka were sparing.
Katara watched as her brother and Aang ducked and swung at each other with air and shaped space meteor. She could see Aang's diaphragm expand and retract as he moved, and his lithe muscles coiled and relaxed with his movements, the pale blue tattoos stark against his tanned skin. The younger of the two had a stash around his eyes, easily covering the upper part of his face and only showing the flat line of his mouth, lips pressed together in concentration.
"I don't' see what the problem is. I don't mind, do you?" Katara asked nonchalantly as she continued to keep her gaze on the air bender.
Toph scoffed before saying, "I don't; isn't like I can really see him. And I should have expected you to find him walking around half-naked most of the time totally fine. You two get down to your underwear to waterbend; what's the point in that?"
The teenager watched a valley form between Aang's shoulder bones as retracted his hands to give out a sudden rush of air, which had Sokka flailing back the next moment.
"It's hot in the fire nation," Katara informed.
They sat in silence for a little longer before Toph said, "He might get sunburn."
"I can heal that, easy," Katara answered back.
Aang was now up in the air, suspended for a moment before barreling back down and slamming his fists against the earth, causing the rocks to crack up and rumble. The ripple effect seemed to happen to his arm muscles as well, as they seemed tense and taunt before relaxing.
"Is it good for him to always show off his tattoos like that?"
"We're in a secluded area, it's fine."
Sokka tried another approach, and took a running leap off a rock, but Aang simply spun his arms above, making his ribs push against his skin for a moment and for newly-developed abdomen muscles to stretch and show, and blew away her brother.
"What about his scar? Shouldn't he keep that covered up until it goes away a little more?"
"It's healed; we just have to wait for it to fade."
Sokka had just swung a close slash at the air bender's shins, and Aang stumbled back for a moment before crouching in defense. His pants stretched a little lower, and Katara could see a pair of dimples that signified the end of his spin and the blue line that continued on towards unseen skin. But then he lunged up with a rush of rock and she couldn't see the small indents anymore.
"Won't his sexiness totally distract you?"
"His sexiness does not distract m-"
Katara stopped mid-word as she realized something: she had been watching Aang this entire time. She turned back towards the cutting board with a bright blush on her face, and began to viciously cut the squash she'd left alone for a while now.
Toph smirked as she said, "I win yet again."
AN: While re-watching the beginning of season 3 I realized Aang's little habit, and it made me lol. I liked the idea, and giving Toph an opportunity to be awesome, and it came out ok I guess. I suppose it's up to you guys to decide that, though :P Reviews are appreciated!
