     Toph had been so caught up in the moment that she didn't even feel the person by the street. The voice caught both of them off guard, causing Toph to pull away quickly from Sokka.  Immediately Toph shifted her foot to create vibrations throughout the ground. She recognized the shape of the uniform within seconds.

     "Oh hey," Sokka spoke up, his voise shaky. Toph could sense the high increase in his heartrate, it had increased since the kiss. 

     "Hi Ty Lee," Toph mumbled quietly from behind Sokka. She was nervous about what would happen next. Ty Lee had grown close to Suki over the years after she joined The Kyoshi Warriors.

     "Would you like to explain to me what is going on her?" Ty Lee questioned as she walked towards the two. She was dressed in full uniform, the green dress, the fans snugged tightly in her belt, her white makeup, she had it all.

     "What are you doing here in the city? Aren't you supposed to be with S-Suki?" Sokka responded quickly, eager to change the subject in hopes that Ty Lee would somehow forget about the kiss. Sokka and Toph stood right at door as Ty Lee continued to approach them, stopping at the steps before the small patio.

     "You really have the audacity to ask me that? Ill give you the answer you want when you give me one first, hows that sound?" Ty Lee offered, resting her hands on her hips as she glanced at Toph. Toph could sense that Ty Lee didn't seem as angry as she came off as. In fact, her heartrate was rather normal and she seemed.. happy.

     Toph pushed past Sokka, standing near the edge of the steps, "I kissed him," she annouced. "I pulled him towards me, Im the one who did it. Please don't tell Suki, I dont want her mad at Sokka for something that I did," Toph lied. She knew if Suki found out about what just happened, the pair would finally break up. As much as Toph longed for Sokka and Suki to split ways, she knew Suki made him happy. If Sokka was happy, then thats what mattered to Toph. She knew Suki well enough that she would break up with Sokka. Suki was already busy enough with The Kyoshi Warriors. It all was happening too fast. Toph barley had time to process what just happened. She felt the urge to tell Sokka about her crush that was years old but it felt so right to just kiss him. It felt amazing, especially when Sokka pulled her back. Maybe he did have feelings for her.

     "Oh please," Ty Lee laughed. "I saw it all happen guys," she grinned, which confused the watertribes man. "I have been waiting for that to happen for years. I won't tell Suki unless Sokka doesnt," the warrior paused. "You either need to forget this happened and quit the flirting thats been happened between the two of yall since the end of the war... or break up with Suki."

     Toph stared at Ty Lee for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts on what just happened. 'She supported the idea of me being with Sokka?" Toph thought to herself, confused. As far as she knew, Sokka has never flirted with her. In fact, Toph thought Sokka saw her as just a little sister, well until now. He definetly pulled her back for another kiss.

     "Okay fine," Sokka inturpted Toph's thoughts. His blue eyes glanced down at Toph and back again at Ty Lee. "Ill make a decision soon. Now tell me, why are you here?" he questioned. Toph couldnt help but notice he didnt say anything about the flirting. Maybe Ty Lee just oversaw it and mistook it was flirting. 

     "Suki has decided to put 5 warriors here until the city gets a proitection or law service of some sort established. She said something about an increase in crime rate," Ty Lee answered. "Anyways, I got to continue my patrol. Don't forget what I said Sokka."

     Toph turned to Sokka, the second she walked around the street's corner. "Sokka, Im really sorry. I-"

     "Lets just go inside and talk about this," Sokka cut her off. Toph nodded opening the front door to reveal a small living room. The floor was primarily stone with plently green and gold rugs spread out. Against the right wall was a brown couch which took up most of the living room space. In front of it was a small stone coffee table. Toph set down her things by the door and walked towards her couch, motioning for Sokka to come. Toph sat down on the couch, making plently of room for the watertribes man. He sat down beside her after leaving his belongings by the door as well.

     "Soks, I-Im really sorr-" Toph was cut off once again, this time by the surprising warmth of Sokka's lips against hers again. She felt a rush of warmth run through her body as he caught her by surprise. Sokka then pulled away and rested his hand on hers.

     "There is something I need to tell you Toph," Sokka mumbled.
