A.N. I love the avatar series, but I HATE that they did nothing with the Tokka relationship. This is going to be a two-shot.

Toph P.O.V.
When did it start?
It started out with kiss, how did it end up like this?
When we crossed Serpents Pass, I had to feel my way across the ice, follow your voice. And all of a sudden I was in the water, I didn't know what was happening. Then I felt you bring me up, above the water.
"Oh, Sokka. You saved me." and I kissed you on the cheek. But it wasn't you who answered back. It was Suki. I'd kissed her.
"You can let me drown now." I was so embarrassed, I almost wanted to go back into oblivion.
When did this start?
It was only a crush. That's what I told myself. That was all it was, just a crush. The can't stop thinking about him, the blushes, all of it.
But, life is never that simple, is it?
The more I got to know you, the more I cared for you.
When I fell through the ice, and I wanted it to be you.

We were all so bored. You'd gone to train with that sword master. You'd been complaining that we had all these talents, while you were just the meat and sarcasm guy.
It's kinda true. You are the meat and sarcasm guy. And you're snoozles. And you're the map guy. You're the idea man.
But you were wrong. You weren't Just the meat and sarcasm guy. You were so much more than that.
You Are so much more than that.
"I miss Sokka."
"Oh, I got one," Katara was trying to be funny. I guess it wasn't something that ran in the family.
"If you miss him so much, why don't you marry him?"
I was never a girly girl, I never thought about stuff like that. Until I met you. But for the briefest of seconds I tried to imagine it. I turned to my side without a word. It'll never happen, I told myself. You liked Suki.

When we were at Ba Sing Se, me and katara had gone to a spa for a girls day out. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. We'd gotten all dressed up. Some girls made fun of me, so I earthbended the ground out from under them.
Katara said I was beautiful.
When everyone fell alseep that night I stayed up thinking. Your light snore filled the air, and I kept thinking the same thing.
What did you look like?
Did you like Suki because she was beautiful?
I never used to care about this stuff. When did I start caring about things like beauty. It used to be one of the best things about being blind. I never had to worry about things like that.
Appearances don't really matter to me, why should they? I don't know what you look, like, but I think I'd love you no matter what you looked like.
Wait, love?
Is that what I was feeling. I hoped this was just a crush, but could this be love?

I think I realized just how much I loved you when we were bringing down the airships. Suki got separated from us. When we fell off the airship, and I you broke your leg. You were holding on to me so tight and so was I.
Our lives holding on by a thread. I held your hand for dear life, and that was when I knew, that yours were the only hands I ever wanted to hold. I realized this might be the end, and I might never hold your hands again, tears began to fall. I didn't want to lose you even though I knew we were both about to fall to our death.

Suki saved me again. She saved us both. She had managed to come back. As happy as I was that we were gonna be okay, I was sad as well. I did love you.
When did it start? When did my heart start jumping at your touch. When did your laugh make me feel warm inside. When did I start loving you so much I couldn't stand it.
This wasn't just some crush that was going to go away, I loved your laugh, I loved the vibrations from your footsteps, I loved your stupid jokes. But you didn't love me back.
You were still with Suki.
I love you, but it doesn't matter because you don't love me back.
Now that I know how much I love you, the only question is how do I stop my heart from breaking?
Next Chapter will be Sokka P.O.V.
