The Blind Musician (Toph x Male Blind Reader)

Typical Day

(Y/N Pov)

It was probably around 6am judging by the roosters crowing off in the distance, so I decided to grab by things, sneak past my sleeping mother, and outside towards the middle ring. Passing by some tea shops and residential homes, I could hear and 'see' vendors starting to open and people starting their day off drowsily. I just keep on making my way to the entrance to the middle ring and tuning my guitar. I finally arrive at my typical spot by a building that is up for rent/sale and I just sit down and wait for the sound of people.

Roughly about a half an hour later, the area started bustling with people and so I found it my time to start playing. I played a few chords to try and get some people to come over and then I started playing.

(God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts w/ a few altered words)

"I set out on a narrow way many years ago. Hoping I would find true love along the broken road." I could hear more people start coming over to my singing and cracked a smile on my face. "But I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow and kept pushing through." I started to tap my foot on the ground and used my earth bending to start showing a story in the ground to attract them more into the performance. "I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you." I had a slight pause, for dramatic effect of course, and began again.

"That every long-lost dream led me to where you are. And those who broke my heart, they were like Northern Stars. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, that the Spirts blessed the broken road that lead me straight to you." After I ended the performance, a received an applause and whistles and chanted my 'stage name'. Then I did what I normally did which was to stand a bow to my audience. After I gave my thanks to the crowd, I received a few copper and silver pieces and started to pack to go to another location.

As I grabbed my seat, I could feel some people walking up behind me. I slightly stopped and prepared to defend myself, just in case. When I turned around, I 'saw' four teenagers and a Lemur bat standing there. "That sounded and looked amazing!" said one of the girls. "Well, thank you. The name's (y/n), and who do I have the pleasure of meeting?" "I'm Katara, and this is my brother Sokka, Aang, and Toph." I bow and raise my hand to shake their hands individually. "Well, judging by the names and strength, Katara, you're a water bender." I could tell she was impressed by my analysis since her I could feel her heartbeat raise a bit. "Sokka, you are not a bender." "Hey, come on I know this. Don't rub it in." I chuckled and continued. "Toph, a fellow earth bender." "You're damn right! Put er there!" And we exchange the extraordinarily strong handshake. I could feel her strength surely surpass mine and I found it astonishing.

"So, Aang, judging by your small build, and your Lemur bat, that you're an air bender, but I thought air benders were all gone?" Katara then cut in and told me that they were until she and her brother found him encased in ice by the Southern Water Tribe. "Am I supposed to believe this? Encased in ice? What, is he the Avatar? Hahahaha!" Then I realized that they weren't laughing at my comment and figured out that they were telling the truth.

"Oh, you're serious..." I instantly kneeled and apologized to them. "It's okay (y/n), you don't need to apologize." Aang said while kneeling to me. I stood back up and slung my guitar over my shoulder. "So, what are you doing in Ba Sing Se?" "Well, Aang's sky bison was taken and were told that he might be here." I became interested by this and then remembered something. "Well, I know of a place that I pass by on my normal route that normally has large animals imported in. Maybe your guy's sky bison is there?" Aang jumped in excitement, "Take me there!" I put my hand up and just agreed to it and we started walking.
