Love and stress
A/N: sorry for the delay but this specific chapter left me with writers block(and I am a little sick) but here it is. Enjoy!
(Y/N P.O.V)
I walked with the others out into a field on the island we are supposed to meet the invasion force at. "This is it, the official rendezvous point for the invasion force."
Toph:"How did you pick this place."
Sokka:"Before we split up my dad and I found this island on a map, it's uninhabited and the harbor surrounding by cliffs seemed like the perfect secluded place."
I sensed the herd of animals not too far away. "Well uninhabited by humans at least."
Katara:"Nice choice Sokka, and we're here four days ahead of schedule."
Aang:"Wait four days! The invasions in four days uh?!"
Sokka:"*yawn* Whatever That's like four days from now, let's just calm down an-ughgg."
'Seriously who falls asleep that fast'. "Sokka's got the right idea Aang, we're here/we're ready, the best thing we can do now is get plenty of rest."
Aang:"uh, I guess."
With that resolved they went to sleep. I was getting ready to sleep as well but stopped to think about the events of a few days ago.
(Flashback)
I was on the ground and Toph walked over after the villagers left. "Come on let's go."
She picked me up as the others trailed behind with a depressed Katara. "Well that could've gone better."
Toph:"No kidding."
I felt as she laid me down on the saddle on Appa's back. I still couldn't move. "Well don't do that again."
I felt her lean down and something soft touch my lips. "Ok?"
Before I could answer I passed out.
(Flashback end)
'I am sure that was real, right?'. I decided it could wait till morning. Before I went to sleep I heard Aang wake up and start talking about pants before walking off. 'Maybe he's just going to clear his head? Or pants? That was weird'. I just chose to let it go and head to bed.
(Skip to Morning)
I woke up to a loud pounding from a few yards away. 'What in the world?!!'. I stood up a 'saw' Aang was punching a tree? 'I can't even call that training with how straight forward it is'. I decided I would walk off before this got weird.
I walked around the island thinking about what I should do about Toph. 'I mean there is no way I imagined that kiss, probably, ugh why did I have to pass out'. I kept think about it for awhile, while meditating. "I'll just ask her I guess."
I was going to head back but realized that it was a little past noon. 'I guess I did meditate for awhile, I'll talk to her tomorrow after some planning'. I went back to camp to make lunch.
(Time skip)
I laid down to go to sleep, but got interrupted. "Goodnight Katara/Goodnight Sokka/Goodnight Toph/Goodnight Appa/Goodnight Momo/Goodnight Appa and Mo-."
Toph:"GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!!"
I didn't hear anything after that. 'Peace and quiet'. I went to sleep for an hour before I felt Aang get up and walk around. 'Ugh someone else can deal with him for now'. I went back to sleep when I felt Katara go after him. 'Yay'.
(Morning again)
I heard Aang yell, getting me to wake up in alarm. "Sokka get up I need to know what day it is!"
Sokka:"What?! Who's talking? Ow."
I 'watched' as Sokka hit a ledge and fell down. "Relax it's still two days before the invasion."
Aang:"Sokka you've gotta get up and drill your rock climbing exercises!"
Sokka:"What?"
Aang:"In one of my dreams you were running from Fire Nation solders trying to climb this cliff, but you were too slow and they got you!"
Sokka:"But that was just a dream, I'm a great climber."
Aang:"Then climb that cliff! Climb it fast!"
'And now it gets weird'. I just let it go on as Toph drank water/Sokka climbed/and Katara watched. "Don't drink that!"
Toph:"Why?! Is it poisoned?!"
Aang:"In my dream we were right in the middle of the invasion, and you had to stop to use the bathroom, we died because of your tiny bladder!"
He then turned to me. "And you shouldn't use your glider, in my dream you were flying and got hit by a fireball, you fell to the ground!"
He turned to Katara. "And you need to start wearing your hair up, in my dream your hair got caught in a train and...!"
Katara:"Aang! I know your just trying to help but you really need to get a grip, your unraveling."
Aang:"Your right I'm losing my mind."
'Well I could've told you that'. This continued for awhile and I just made something to eat while it did. "It's like every time I think about how stressed I am I just get more stressed, I'm like a big growing snowball of nerves!"
'Odd comparison but not wrong'. "Of course you are, that's because you have to fight the Fire Lord the baddest man on the planet, and you better win or we're all done for."
You:"Wow no pressure huh?"
Katara:"Sokka! Your not helping."
Sokka:"What? It's true, That's the deal, he knows it."
Katara:"You know what, I've got just the thing, get ready to be destressified."
'Well I better get ready to help too'. I finished eating what I had and left the rest for the others.
(Time skip)
I was meditating with Aang on a cliff. "She actually suggested acupuncture?"
Aang:"Yeah."
I shivered a little. 'That doesn't sound like a good idea, but definitely her'. "Well meditating might help with your stress, no promises though."
Aang:"Ok."
We stayed like that for about 13 seconds, until. "Ahhh!"
'Well that was short lived'. I heard him run away. "I guess I have time now."
(Small Skip)
I was walking around and then found Toph. 'Might as well do it now'. I walked up to her. "Hey Toph."
Toph:"Hey air head."
I rolled my eyes. "Do you remember what happened before I passed out during the last full moon?"
I felt her hesitate. "Yeah I carried you back to Appa, why?"
'So it was real'. "Oh I just wanted to say thank you..."
Toph:"Yeah whatever."
I leaned in and kissed her lightly. "...but not for the lift."
Toph:"*mumble*"
You:"What? I couldn't hear you sorry."
Toph:"I said it took you long enough!"
She hit me HARD on the head. "Ow!"
Toph:"That's for taking your sweet time..."
She then grabbed me and kissed me with force/passion. "...and that's for the thank you."
She walked off after that. 'Yep totally worth it, wait? Are we dating now?'.
(Toph P.O.V)
'Yes!! Finally got what I wanted! Third time was the charm. I guess that means we're dating now?'. I walked away to find a place to think.
(Y/N P.O.V)
(Time skip)
I was going to bed when I heard Aang. "Thanks for everything guys."
Katara:"So do you feel less stressed? Ready for a Goodnights sleep?"
Aang:"I kinda think I sort of might feel a little better, maybe."
'That was not convincing. "Then our work here is done *yawn*."
Katara/Toph:"*Yawn*"
I went to sleep shortly after, or that was the plan. "Ahhhh!!!!"
Katara:"What happened Aang?!"
Aang:"It's the nightmares, they just get worse and worse."
'Oh man this is getting bad'. "Looks like it's time for another therapy season."
'Where does he get those beards?'. "No that won't help! nothing helps, there's only one thing I can do, I'm going to stay awake straight through to the invasion."
'This won't end well'. I watched as he started shaking, I just shook my head.
(Time skip)
I was helping Sokka build Appa's Armor. "This might actually be one of your few good ideas Sokka."
Sokka:"Than-Hey! What do you mean few good ideas?!"
I just chuckled and grabbed another piece to hand to him. I heard Aang 'Practicing' in the background. "Put em up Fire Lord!"
I felt a few air blast heading this way so I stepped to the side. "Watch out Sokka."
Sokka:"Ahh, Hey I'm trying to build Appa some armor here so he doesn't have to go into the invasion naked, he's your bison."
I just chuckled. "You could've warned me sooner!"
You:"Key word 'could've'."
Aang:"Ozai defense is impeccable, I'll have to try a different approach, ahhh!"
'He is fighting a tree, and losing?'. I knew he was going crazy now if I didn't before. "You think your untouchable don't you Mr. Fire Lord!"
I 'watched as he stopped and turned to Momo. "Momo did you hear something?"
He went up and started thinking he was talking, then started trying to speak lemur. 'Yep he's lost it completely now'. We all went over to check on him as he was 'talking' to Momo. "Aang, we're all starting to get a little worried about you."
Sokka:"You've been awake too long."
Toph:"And your acting down right weird."
You:"And this can't be healthy."
He looked at Appa next like he was the talking. 'Oh here we go'. "Ugh, look I appreciate what you guys are saying but the stress and the nightmares they were just too much, staying awake is the best way for me to deal with it."
He then started looking between Appa and Momo, before grabbing Sokka. "Sokka what should we do?!"
Sokka:"About what?"
Aang:"About that!"
He just pointed to Where Appa and Momo we standing. 'I am a little curious on what he is seeing though'. "Come on guys we're all on the same side!"
He just kept looking around in a panic. "I just need to jump in a cold waterfall ahh ahh!"
I just shook my head. 'No you need sleep'. I was going to leave when one of the koala-sheep bumped into me. 'That could work'. "Hey guys!"
(The last of the time skips)
We had made a bed out of wool for Aang to finally get some sleep. 'It's either this or Toph can knock him out at this point'. I saw Aang checking it out. "Oh look another hallucination, an imaginary bed made out of clouds."
Toph:"Hey it's real, we spent hours working on it."
Sokka:"We made it for you, a good nights sleep will probably keep the crazy away, we hope."
Aang:"Look you guys keep telling me I need to sleep, but I can't, the invasions tomorrow!"
Katara:"Aang-"
Aang:"No Katara there's still so much I haven't learned, I don't need sleep what I need is practice, quick hit me!"
Katara:"I'm not going to hit you."
Toph:"You want me to do it?"
'Very tempting'. "Listen you've been training for this since the day we met, I've seen you're progress you're smart/brave/and strong enough."
Aang:"You really think so?"
Sokka:"We all do, you can do this, your ready."
You:"You have what you need."
Toph:"Your the man twinkle toes!"
Aang:"Thanks guys *yawn*."
Katara guided him to the bed and we followed. "You know what? I think I am ready."
We left once he had fallen asleep. 'Finally now to get some rest."
I felt Toph stop me and give me a kiss on the cheek. "That was a good idea air head."
She left after that. 'Is this going to be a regular thing?'. I just decided to go to sleep but now with a smile on my face.
A/N: so I hope you all enjoyed Sorry again for the delay (still sick). Until the next one, bye!
P.S:tell your mothers happy Mother's Day and tell how much you love them -peace
