A/N: Here it is the last chapter. It only took me over a year to write which is usually a record for me. It usually takes me two or three years to write a story no matter how small. I hope to write another Tokka fanfics in the future that's more than a one-shot. I hope this ties up all the loose ends. Anyway I hope you enjoy this last chapter and thank you for reading and reviewing.
Pairings: Tokka, Katara x Haru

Epilogue
Only Sokka
I grumble under my breath as I stand against the wall. I swear Sokka is the devil in disguise, how he ever got me to this party I still don't know. Oh yes, the jewellery and the kisses. I can't complain about a guy who buys me jewellery despite the fact I can't 'see' it but the metal is comfortable against my skin. Sokka arrives back with a drink in his hand for me; I carefully drink from the far too expensive crystal glassware.
"I told you it wouldn't be that bad." He says in my ear. I glare at him pointedly and he just chuckles taking my glass from me. He grabs my hand leading me towards the dance floor. My eyes widen in shock, I'm already having problems seeing due to the fact I'm wearing shoes! I really hate shoes. How Yin talked me into them, I'll never know. Sokka takes my hand placing it on his shoulder and takes my other hand. Then all I know is he's leading and I'm following as we spin in circles around the dance floor. I can hear the whispers of the Earth Kingdom Representatives when we pass by and I growl. Sokka just chuckles again.
"I'm sorry but they really bother me. They are scared of me half the time and disapproving the other. I should just earthbend their butts out of the building and that would show them to disapprove of me." I grumble to Sokka. He smiles, kissing my forehead.
"Actually Toph, they are being approving today. I think your mother was worried you were never going to find a man and you were never going to get married. I think since the rumours have been swirling that we are together and I have been nothing but a perfect gentleman; that she's happy to hear you've found someone even if he's from the Southern Water Tribe and not in your league at all. Those would be your mother and father's words not mine." He states as if it's obvious. I feel like glaring but I settle for a small pout instead.
"She sent a note, didn't she? She's coming to visit, right? And she expects a place to stay with servants and a fulltime chef and a chaperone?" I reply. He nods slightly.
"She's bringing her own servants and such but a place to stay, yes." I sigh softly, leaning my head on his shoulder. He simply keeps me dancing as I try to figure out how to get her not to come. "Don't worry. Look on the bright side, while she's here, you'll be very busy. You have a few meetings that week to go to and as a surprise to you, I bought the school. You'll want to supervise that the progress is going well. I already have a few students enrolled for as soon as repairs and construction are done." I smile brightly up at him. Only Sokka could give me excuses to get away from my mother and give me something to do afterwards so as to not go home. I lean up giving him a chaste kiss and I can feel him beam down at me.
"FINALLY!" Katara's voice yells from across the room. I glare in her general direction. Sokka just laughs.
"Love you, Toph." He whispers in my ear. I smile, my cheeks blushing.
"Love you too, Snoozles." I reply. He stops our spinning and I can tell he's fumbling for words. I let him despite how it can get on my nerves.
"Toph? I was wondering if you'd wear this." He places a metal medallion in my hand. I let my earthbending and hands feel the metal. Two symbols, one on each side were engraved into the metal: the water tribe and earth kingdom. Some part of my mind, dimly remembered Katara talking about the Water Tribe's engagement token, a necklace, usually carved wood. I stared wide-eyed at Sokka, I swear my mouth is opening and closing like a frogfish. "Toph?" He sounds nervous and I gulp loudly.
"Aren't they usually made out of wood?" I ask softly. He chuckles and I can feel the heat radiate from him as he blushes.
"Usually they are but I thought metal is more fitting for you. Wait a second…how do you know what it is? I never said anything." I chuckle, giving him a little push.
"Katara tells me everything and anything about things when she's in one of her talkative moods. It's an engagement token." He nods slowly. I know he's waiting for my answer. I turn around, handing it back to him. "Would you put it on me?" He complies and kisses my cheek. I touch it before he spins me around and we are back to dancing again. I laugh happily as we spin. Only Sokka could make me this happy when he's being not a single flavour but when he's just being himself. I can't help but love him, he's my Snoozles.
The End
