Tokka 2: Oblivious

“Can you believe it?!”

“What are you grumbling about, Sokka?” Zuko asked as he leaned against a wall.

“That!” he gestured wildly at his sister and Aang as they trained near one of the Western Air Temple’s fountains. “Can’t she see that!”

“Frankly, I don’t see “that” either.” Toph drawled from her perch on one of the temple’s fallen stone pillars. Unchastened, Sokka paced in front of her as he explained.

“How much Aang likes her! Look at him- he’s blushing like crazy every time she comes close!” His back to her, Sokka missed the sudden flare of pink in her cheeks. However, Zuko didn’t. He frowned.

“Wow, Sokka. Brilliant observation.”

“Hey, I’m serious!” Somewhat hurt at her tone, he began ticking off events. “When we first met, he couldn’t keep his eyes off her! And he was always making these gifts for her!”

“Like this one?” She held up the arm with her space bracelet, and Sokka paused his narration to glance at her.

“Well, yeah. But that’s different. I don’t like you.”

Zuko winced; Toph snorted. “Gee, Snoozles- thanks a lot.”

“You know what I mean! He sticks to her like a burr, yet the boy had to singlehandedly save an entire village from a volcanic eruption before she even looks at him twice!”

“Wait,” Zuko interrupted. Sokka glared at him, one foot tapping. “Let me get this straight. You actually want to hook your sister up with a guy?”

“This isn’t just a guy- it’s Aang! He’s harmless! Katara’s blowing a golden opportunity here! She’s just so... so...”

“Oblivious?” Toph supplied. Sokka turned to her, beaming.

“Exactly!”
