The Blind Musician (Toph x Male Blind Reader)

The Awakening

(Y/N Pov)

(A few weeks later)

It's about an hour past sundown judging by how cold the wind was coming down into the ship, and I 'see' Toph sleeping with her head on my chest in the hammock I'm lying in below deck of the Fire Nation ship we had stolen for our incognito stage. It had been about a few weeks since Aang had been struck by Azula and had been asleep and healing from the incident. I just place my hand on her head and softly stroke her hair. 'This is nice.'

A few minutes pass and Toph wakes up and 'looks' up at me. "Hey (y/n)." "Hey ya little Badgermole." She punched my gut gently and I winced at it and chuckled. As we were laying in the hammock, Katara came below deck calling for us and Toph jumped to her feet and acted like nothing was happening. "What's going on down here Toph?" "Nothing! What do you want Katara?" She just sighed and told us that Aang was awake. We rushed upstairs to see him on his knees looking around confused at everyone. "Good to see you back with the living, buddy." "Sokka?" Aang then started to tumble, my guess is from the pure shock. "Oh shit, somebody catch him! He's gonna...(thud)...fall."

I gently facepalmed and walked over to pick him up and set him next to Appa's head. A few minutes had passed and Aang resumed consciousness and he started asking questions about everything. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm just gonna, go tune my guitar." I walk off and make it to my room and grab my guitar and place it on my bed and sit down. I was tuning for a good minute and then I just start strumming chords to pass the time. "Having fun?" Toph was in my doorway leaning against the frame listening to me strum.

"Come on in Toph, have a seat." She sat next to me and she placed her hand on my back.

"Hey (y/n), you know I keep hearing you play the same song every now and again, mind playing it for me?" I sit there for a second in silence before I strum a few chords to match the song. It had taken me ever since I left Ba Sing Se to finally finish my song that I had been working on.

"If I ever were to lose you...I'd surely lose myself. Everything I have found here...I've not found by myself. Try and sometimes you'll succeed...to make this man of me. All my stolen missing parts...I've no need for them anymore. Cause I believe, and I believe cause I can see...our future days. Days of you and me."

I slowly stopped strumming until pure silence filled the room and I sniffled a bit and felt a tear fall down my cheek and hit my hand. "Are you crying (y/n)?" I immediately wipe the tear from my face and just sit there. "I'm not (sniff) it's just this song...I started writing for a person that one day I'd meet and would be with me forever...but when I met this girl a few years back that I thought was it, I sang what I had, and she left me..." Toph just sits next to me in silence and just sighs. I then reach for her hand and grasp it hard. "I don't want to lose you Toph. I..." Before I could finish my sentence, she grabbed me by my shirt and pulled me in and her lips met mine instantly.

I put my guitar down and put my hands on her sides. We then started laying down while we were still kissing and then started grabbing each other. As time went on, we got more and more into it and it felt...good. Time felt like it was paused all around Toph and I, and eventually we were just laying under the covers of my bed in my boxers and her in her underwear feeling our bare skin against each other and enjoying the moment. Suddenly, someone busted through the door and Toph and I jumped up and shouted at the person. "Toph?! (y/n)?! What the hell is going on in here?!" 'Oh no, Katara.'
