Concrete's drabbles and oneshots

[concreteangel]

I drabble...a lot. So, I'm making a thread just for my drabbles and one-shots. This would be the most recent, written today in about 5 minutes. Hope you enjoy it! (and I still need a name for it!)

“I hate her,” Toph mumbled. “She’s taller than me, prettier, older, and she sees with her eyeballs instead of her stupid feet! Ugh!” Toph threw herself onto the ground. “Why couldn’t she just stay in the inescapable prison?”

`”Who are you talking about? The warrior girl? Sokka’s girlfriend?”

Toph had been too angry to hear Zuko creep up behind her. “Go away,” she rumbled.

Zuko crossed his arms. “Why do you hate her?”

“If you were paying attention, you would know that already.”

“I get it now,” Zuko mused. “You like Sokka, don’t you?”

Toph groaned. “That’s an understatement.” She rolled onto her back and spread out like a child making a snow angel.

“You like him a lot,” Zuko guessed.

“Understatement.”

“You love him.”

Toph sighed. “Try again.”

“You want to grow up, marry him, and have little Water Tribe babies with him.”

She sighed again. “I hate kids.”

The prince stepped closer and crouched on the ground beside her. “Fine, then. No kids.”
The earthbender groaned, blushed, and flipped onto her stomach.

Zuko reached out and patted her back. “You could tell him,” he suggested.

Toph refused to turn toward him, but Zuko could hear the low rumble of her voice. “I’d rather throw his girlfriend off a cliff.”

*karma*

[nymphadora]

Awww that was cute. *karma* I love the friendship!Toko relationship.

[bagpipe turtle]

That was totally cute. I'm pretty much neutral on Tokka shipping, but that was simply adorable. *karma*

And I agree with Nymph, the friendship!Toko was great.

[concreteangel]

Alrighty, next one. Again, it's Tokka, but, this time, actually includes Sokka.

I'm also thinking about doing another Toko friendship one. And some Kataang. And reposting all my old ones, and even re-doing my Kagome story (which would go in another thread because it's long)

In the Dark of the Night

“Sokka! Sokka, wake up!” Toph heard herself say. It was late. Toph knew because her eyelids were heavy. Why couldn’t this wait until morning? No, Toph decided. She had to tell him. She crawled over to him, but she couldn’t feel the earth at her hands and knees, couldn’t see. She found him, even through her darkness. She tried to jostle him awake. “Sokka, Sokka, I have to tell you something!”

Sokka groaned. “Toph – late – sleep – morning,” he muttered.

“No, Sokka! It’s important. Please?” she asked, her hands still shaking his shoulder.

Sokka grabbed her tiny hands to stop her from shaking him. “What is it?” he grumbled.

“I can’t tell you here,” Toph said. She didn’t want the others hearing.

He stood up, grabbing the young earthbender’s wrist. “Come on,” he muttered.

“Sokka, I can’t see. Something’s wrong with my feet!”

Sokka stifled a yawn. “Then can’t this wait until morning when at least one of us can?” he asked.

“No,” Toph demanded, “carry me. I trust you.” She attempted to scamper onto his back, but, instead, he scooped her into his arms.

“Just hope I don’t trip,” Sokka said.

“You won’t,” Toph replied.

Sokka took them to a quiet spot overlooking the many chambers and levels of the air temple. He set her down gently, adding, “Just be careful. I wouldn’t want you walking off the edge of the cliff.”

“I won’t,” Toph promised, but she clung tightly to his arm anyway.

“So what is it that you wanted to tell me?” Sokka asked.

Toph took a deep breath. She had to tell him. She had dragged him all the way out of his bet at an unnatural hour just for this because she couldn’t wait any longer. “Sokka,” she began, “I like you.”

“I like you, too, kiddo,” he chuckled.

Toph balled up her fist and went to hit him, but held back. Her hand barely made contact with his stomach. “I like you the way Aang likes Katara, the way Zuko likes that crazy knife-throwing girl,” she swallowed, “the way Suki likes you.”

“Oh,” Sokka sighed.

“I don’t expect you to feel the same way,” she said, “I just had to say it.”

Sokka kissed her between the eyes. “Maybe someday.”

Toph blushed furiously.

Sokka scooped her up once more and carried her back to their camp where he laid her gently in her earth tent before stumbling away to his sleeping bag.

In the morning, when Toph awoke, she could see again, which made her wonder if the events of the previous night were all simply a dream.

But judging by the violent thumping of her heart and the tingling between her brows, they weren’t.
