Tokka- Tango

Toph sipped at her punch as she "watched" Aang and Katara dance. The music was lively and the dance was majestic. They moved and swayed together as if they were synchronized down to their heartbeats. Toph didn't understand why they weren't together yet. It was obvious that they were in love. Totally distracted by her thoughts, she didn't notice Sokka sit down next to her.
"They're really good together," he observed.
Toph nearly jumped out of her seat when he spoke, "Jeez, I didn't notice you there."
Sokka grinned and stroked his fake beard.
"But yeah, they do."
Sokka's eyes lit up, "Why don't we go dance?"
It was just an idea, and an innocent question, but Toph reddened at the thought of the two of them dancing. Toph had only danced a couple of times, and that was with her dad. Sokka didn't notice her blush. "I'm not dancing with you unless you take off the beard," she insisted. She crossed her arms, trying to hide how uncomfortable she felt.
"What? You don't like it?" he asked, petting his faux facial hair.
"You're so embarrassing," she teased.
"Come on," he grabbed her hand, "let's go."
At the touch of his hand, she blushed again, but Toph let him pull her onto the dance floor.
"You ever danced before?" he asked.
"Sure," she replied, "At my dad's parties and stuff."
"Good. 'Cause I haven't"
They were alone in this section of the cave. Everyone else was watching the main show- Aang and Katara. Sokka took her hands and led the dance. Their dance was not flamboyant or flashy like Aang and Katara's, but rather clumsy.  Toph twirled and spun, relying more on Sokka than her feet for guidance.  Her heart fluttered and his stomach swirled. As the song came to an end, Sokka pulled her in closer to him so they were up against each other. He looked into her pale jade eyes and smiled.
They probably looked absolutely ridiculous. Sokka seemed like a grown man wearing his beard, and Toph just a small girl, but they didn't care. They were Toph and Sokka.
"Thank you," Toph said, her cheeks turning pink, "That was fun." With that, she floated back to her spot at the table. She felt like doing cartwheels.
