The two of them sat together against the tree, enjoying their lazy time together. He ran his fingers through her long hair while watching the clouds pass by. She rested against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. It was, in fact, a perfect day.

"Snoozles, what you thinking about?" Toph asked as she shifted against him. If she was able to see, she would be able to stare right into his eyes.

"Nothing much." He replied, his eyes still glued to the sky. "You. And me."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. I was thinking about all of this. How it all happened." He smiled. A few moments passed before he looked down at her face. "How happy I've been."

"You're just saying that." She blushed. She'd been blushing for a while now. And no matter how often he praised her, she still blushed. Stupid Sokka.

"No. I really mean it." He protested.

She knew how he felt-he knew she did. Still this was something he felt he had to emphasis. Something he never mentioned to her.

"Can I tell you something?" He waited until she nodded before continuing. "You remember how during the war I was with Suki? Well, I started to notice something. I cared for Suki very much, but something was missing. I began missing you. I missed spending time with you, doing pranks with you; I even missed your jokes on me. I assumed it was because I was with my girlfriend and not my friends. But Suki noticed. She knew. She was I settled for and not what I wanted. You were what I wanted. You were what I dreamed of."

Toph sat in silence thinking about what he said. This was the first time he mentioned anything like this before. Yeah, she knew he liked Suki, but she always assumed it was more than that. But she knew he wasn't lying. And that counted for something.

"You know that's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard. Worse than what Sweetness said about her engagement."

"I know." He smiled.

"But I like it." She smiled as she rested her head back against his chest. "Hey Snoozles"

"Yeah?"

"You're my dream too."
:O_o: Well, look at that. Fluff. I don't do fluff. I can't write it. But, :icontokka-fans-united: was having a contest "dreams" and I thought, why not try something? Originally, I had something tearjerking and more like me-you know, death/sadness/etc. But this little fluffy cheesy idea came to me and I ran with it. :shrug: Go figure.

Oh, and this is a few years after the war and they married now. :P Or something like that.

Critique is always appreciated. :D

I own nothing. :paranoid:

You know, I think I've read this before. I wonder why I didn't :+fav: it then? Have I already commented? :laughing: Oh well, if I did I'm doing it again.

This is very sweet! A little one on one time between the two. :XD:
