Love At First Sight (Taang)

Feelings inside of me (part two)

Toph's pov

Another day, another day to think and train. I woke up basically alone. But, I was thankful for that. I didn't really feel like, looking Aang in the eye after we cuddled the whole night.

That would have been too embarrassing. I can only imagine it.

I got up as usual. Katara greeted me. I passed Aang. A slight blush was on my face. I hid it immediately. I tried to show no emotion at all, in that time. But I don't think it worked.

I guess Aang felt the same.

I passed Aang, talking to Katara. Sokka got up 2 hours later. Only because I helped him. I basically earthbent him up in the air. Making him fly at least 20 feet. He landed with a satisfying "Oof!" I was pleased. I felt good to hear that Oof. We all laughed, except Sokka, who took great offense to that. He replied with just grumbling at us. Hopping in his sleeping bag.

After we all were up we were thinking about where to go next. We still didn't decide.

Katara and I trained Aang. He improved. Amazingly fast, faster than most earthbenders. I was really impressed.

I gave him a well deserved compliment. He blushed. It's very rare you get a compliment from me, so savour your first one.

Katara told Aang he had improved in waterbending too. I'm not sure what or why but it made my stomach churn.

Like I felt uneasy.

After I trained Aang I gave him a break. I also noticed when Aang is Earthbending he does not, underestimate me. He gives me his most powerful attacks. He gives me a challange. Just what I like. I guess he likes a challange to. I'm surprised, by this.

Since I am free today, after training with Aang. I could sort some thoughts in my head. Like my feelings for Aang.

Not to consult him about it, but too make great sense of it. Somehow?

I knew Aang was special when I first saw him. Well felt him.
I always felt weird when I'm around him. I'm softer with him, I blush and show more emotion. I'm not sure what it is. But, I would really like to know because he's just there seeing my face turn red.

I feel like I can trust him. That I'm safe, someone is there for me. That... I'm not alone. I absolutely love how he doesn't underestimate me. He knows what I'm capable of. It just makes me smile.

I remember, when  I first saw him. I thought he was with katara. To be honest. I kinda, maybe felt jealous of that. But, to my surprise she wasn't.

After that I felt happy and relieved.

I remembered when Appa had been stolen by Long feng. I almost wanted to send him into another solar system.

He made Appa go true pain, and suffering. That he never deserved. He made Aang, angry, crazy and looked like he would kill you, for Appa.

He made Aang, shout at me when we was at the library. He made him go, full on firebender mode. He even got angry at Katara. She never deserved it.

I actually deserved Aang getting mad at me. I could have done better to save Appa. But, yet still I tried and tried but failed. If I had went to save Appa. Aang, Katara and Sokka would have seen their sandy grave.

I really was sorry. I thought that if I save Aang and the rest of them. We could split up and cover more ground to find Appa. And in no time we could be flying.

But, it was more than that.

When the guy who muzzled Appa. Was speaking it clicked I remembered his voice. I remember him well. I told the gaang. Everyone was shocked. Aang was just in pure, fresh anger. He threatened then for Appa. He went into the avatar state. I almost couldn't watch Aang go through all this. I walked to Aang despite the air blowing me back.
I went up to Aang, calming him down. Katara and Sokka were surprised by what I did. I for one too.

We had to go to a party. See azula. Fight the dai lee. We went through so much hardship. In that time, but it was never in vain. As we got Appa. Suki helped us. As she and the kyoshi warriors took care of Appa. We all thanked her for that.

I know that... I maybe like Aang. When Aang first kissed me. I wanted to kill him. It was unexpected. But, it felt good. He described colours for me. He described emotions, for me like no one ever did. And, I gotta say thank you Aang.

Aang and I have been getting closer everyday. I notice this. I don't really hate it. No one knows where this can go. It may have bad things but, for every bad thing. A flower blooms. A beautiful flower, I may not see it, but I can feel it.

I think.. I might have a crush on Aang.

I never even thought about liking him before. Of course you didn't, you never considered liking anyone!

But, the sad thing about this is. I don't think he likes me back? I know that I feel Aang having a heart attack near me. Wait! A heart attack. That means..... He likes me back?

I don't really have proof of this.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this, I hope Aang likes me back. Because I know I do.

Sometimes I wonder. Why love is so hard! But, that's the better love. In my opinion, I think that, the love that you work harder for is better. You know what you did to get it. Like opposites. Water and fire. They might first hate each other. But, realize that their love is stronger than hate.

Love where, you get your partner easily. Is nice and all but. Sometimes too easy. You have to go through a lot to get your partner. Not just as you see them Boop love forever. That sometimes is a relationship that doesn't last for long. It might be unequal. In some way.

But, love where you work hard and go through hard times, suffering for your partner. That is genuine love. Real love. When you finally get to be with them. You get to savour that moment. You know how hard you worked to get to them, as they did too. And, you will share an unbreakable love. Love that can last forever. Unperishable love.

At the end of the day I will always love Aang. That optimistic, Jolly, emotional, sweet, loving, airhead.

One who I would die for. And, if anyone dares to hurt him. Well I will flatten you worse than a measly rock ever could. I will put you in an infinite world of hurt. I tell you, you would never ever live to see daylight again.

I know I love Aang. I just hope he loves me too. Only the future can tell. What my destiny with Aang could be.

Um (◞‸◟ㆀ)ˢᵒʳʳʸ for not posting anything. Ugh I'm a jerk. How could I leave you all like this. Remember these chapters are in their minds. Only their thoughts. It would have been different if it was them talking. I had this in both Aang and Toph's pov. It was actually fun writing both parts. I almost lost ideas for this. So if I make mistakes sorry. If you want zutara tell me. I'll see if I can make some. This was just Toph and Aang, sorting out their feelings for each other. I felt like I needed this. It was a trip into their minds. Very essential  for a story. In my opinion.
Well and with that.

Bye luvs❤
