Loving Enemies
0 ReviewsToph's misunderstanding payback is getting on Zuko's nerves. Now the fire prince seeks some payback of his own. (toko)
Magma
Chapter 6
When Zuko first joined the Avatar's group, he felt that he was constantly being watched, by an angry Katara, by an awkward Sokka, a curious Aang, and by Toph in whatever mood she was in. Toph was the hardest to read. Zuko had accidentally discovered the true potential of the power to manipulate heat.
To steal one's body heat could signify death, if taken completely. He had accidentally left Toph shivering and clinging to life by only a little, though she was strong, and even if she got back at him, she showed no fear and no intentions of avoiding him because of their second accident. Her feet were heard, the deadly cold was gone, she had recovered and taken revenge.
Toph's revenge was a lot less physical than first thought it would be. He was not buried under a mountain of boulders, but he wishes he was. Aang and Sokka had caught Zuko and Toph when he was trying to keep her warm, their interpretation was based on romance, and thought the fire bender denied it; they only tried to be supportive to help him admit it. They refused to understand that there was nothing to admit, there was no secret affair, only revenge.
Toph was calm, serene and amused. Zuko was constantly embarrassed by the group's knowing looks and remarks. This was entirely different from the beginning. They were no longer watching him out of distrust, now they simply wanted to know what he would do; they wanted to see the love story unfold. Needless to say, Toph was rather satisfied with her vengeance, hearing everyone's comments and feeling the vibrations of Zuko shifting uncomfortably.
"I give up..." Zuko decided that he had enough. He was constantly being teased and his temper was becoming harder to control. Before he incinerated everyone, starting with Sokka, Zuko needed this misunderstanding to be cleared. "What do I have to do for you to tell the truth?" It was clear that everyone would only believe it if they heard it from Toph, Zuko was just thought to deny things out of shy embarrassment and they refused to believe otherwise.
"I don't know, it's kind of fun hearing what everyone has to say. It's especially amusing when you go all tongue tied and don't know how to answer, and when Sokka tried to give you that man to man talk about girls and love." Toph couldn't help it but to laugh.
"Enough, I'm embarrassed, humiliated and mortified. I apologize for the accidents and I think I've been punished enough. When are you going to be satisfied? If this keeps up, I'll-"
"Blow your temper and incinerate someone?"
"Yes!"
"Don't be a crybaby, princess," Toph never imagine Zuko could be this sensitive about being teased about her. She wasn't sure why, but somehow she liked it.
Zuko had enough, "fine, have it your way. Two can play this game."
"What ever happened to beginning forgiveness? If that's the way you want it, fine by me. Let's see who snaps first, but I assure you, it won't be me," Toph accepted the challenge.
It was a declaration of war, a very odd type of war. For the days that were to come, Toph and Zuko would be the most loving enemies.
