Chapter 22: Love for the Present and Hope for the Future
"Take a closer look?" Zuko wondered what Toph meant, but he kind of liked the sound of it, though when she nodded and extended her hands his insecurities kicked in.
"Yes..." She had done this before, but it was only for a moment, and it was meant to embarrass him; this was different.
"It's not nice..." Great, there he was trying to let Toph know she he thought she was beautiful, because she really was, and he had completely forgotten about his own problem regarding looks.
"Let me decide that, okay?" They sat on one of the beds, near the window next to each other. Toph placed her hands on Zuko's face, slowly tracing his features. She felt the difference between the right and left side of his face, the burn skin's texture quite different from the healthy skin; that really must have bee painful. But even with the scar, that covered nearly half his face and one ear, she still thought he looked good. It was something she couldn't quite describe but it was there right in front of her. "I think you're handsome..."
Toph continued moving her hands down Zuko's neck, shoulders and arms, all the way to his hands. Then back up his arms and shoulders, down his shirt inside the loose shirt he was wearing, well he was certainly fit and tone, and felt pleasant to the touch, in a way she had never felt before. Her hands stopped on his heart, beating rapidly.
Zuko wrapped his arms around Toph and hugged her close. She became comfortable in the embrace and returned it. It all just felt so right, like they belonged in each others arms.
They stayed that way quietly for a few minutes, enjoying being so close to each other. They kissed, not realizing that they had an audience out the window. The world had come to a stop for them, and all they knew was pure bliss.
The sound of clapping and cheering was heard from outside. Zuko and Toph broke the kiss sooner than they'd like and Zuko quickly closed the window.
Toph laughed. "You still get embarrassed easily."
"I'm not embarrassed; I just don't like interruptions..." Zuko was still a little embarrassed to be caught kissing, but he was too happy to care about that little detail. He held Toph close again, lips almost touching once more, almost...
Then the door flew open and startle Zuko who did not expected. Toph had felt the footsteps rushing over but she didn't care. Zuko turned to look towards the door which caused Toph to land a kiss on his cheek.
"Everyone saw you and they're all happy!" Aang cheered.
Zuko stared at the avatar in confusion. "Why is it so important to them?"
"They think young love is hopeful and inspiring," Katara explained. "They're all over Sokka and Suki too," she didn't mention they were also all over her and Aang. "Aunt Wu also wants to read your fortunes."
xoxox xox xoxox
When they arrived at Aunt Wu's house, she was predicting the future of Sokka and Suki. "Many tests and trials await... but your spirits are strong." She looked at Sokka, "you have improved, you don't inflict as much pain upon your self as you used to."
Sokka never believed any of that, he was just letting Aunt Wu read their fortunes for the sake of amusement, and didn't even bother to point out how illogical and unscientific her methods were this time.
"I see the two of you being together for a long time... I see you getting married some day and having children..." Aunt Wu clapped her hands together and smiled. "That is the future I predict for the two of you."
"What? It's over?" Sokka asked. Just when he had, as Suki advised, relaxed and taken the prediction as entertainment.
Suki couldn't help it but to laugh. "You said yourself you knew our future without needing a prediction."
Sokka nodded, "that's true, I have it all planned out in my head." Sokka's imagination took him to a happy, peaceful future, where he was married to Suki.
Next it was Toph and Zuko's turn to have their fortunes read, if only for the fun of it. Aunt Wu poured a new cup of tea so she could read their fortunes in it. Reading tea fortunes was the in thing in the fortune telling world lately. "Your future is very interesting... It seems that your union will bring many positives effects, in fact the fate of an entire nation may hang in the balance. How interesting, you have an important future ahead of you, I see that your love for each other is strong, and together you will change many lives."
Although Zuko didn't believe in fortunes and made his own luck, he couldn't help it but to think of that nation as the Fire Nation. Then he imagined himself in the Fire Nation palace. His uncle Iroh was there, and Toph was there... she was the Fire Lady.

That night there was a big dinner in honor of the avatar and his friends. The celebration had really cheered up the entire town. Zuko and Toph sat together and truly enjoyed it. After the dinner there was a lively dance party and the fun continued until sun rise.
When the sun rose in the horizon, Zuko and Toph had strayed from the group and were on the rooftop of the inn. Toph could feel the warmth of the sun, though she much preferred staying warm in Zuko's arms. They wished that moment could last forever; they had found true happiness in each other.

Disclaimer, I do not own Avatar. This is probably the fluffiest chapter I've written, not a lot happens, just pure fluff. XD But it's not over yet, this story still has a few more chapters to go!
