---Toph---
Toph sat in her favourite spot. Deep inside the temple she could be alone with her thoughts. The cool feeling of her skin told her she was in the dark, and she could tell there was silence. She was in the most serene place she had ever been in...
So why did her mind feel so shaken up? It buzzed around like a nest of angry Hornetmoths and she could not make out what it was that she wanted to think about. With a frustrated snarl she leapt up to her feat, ignoring the protests from the blisters and burnt soles. The vibrations ran through the temple and mountains, some rabbits dug in the soil a few feet above the temple, Sokka was training, Zuko was contemplating (that kid was strange) Aang and Katara were beinding together...
Toph's eyes narrowed. They were always bending together, always training. Aang never seemed to want to train with her anymore, it was always misses Sugar Queen. Whats more, she knew the reason. Everytime she aproached Aang his heartbeat went up, Katara was like a lightning bolt to Aang's heart that sent it racing so it almost burst. While she got nothing, and whats more she knew why Aang reacted so.
Toph let out a bitter laugh. "If I could see, i'd say it was only skin deep" she said quietly. Before the realisation hit her, the hornetmoths had stopped buzzing, she had settled on a thought.
Toph was jealous.
---Aang---
Aang smiled as Katara once again corrected his stance, her hands lightly touching, here and there. Setting his arm differently, moving him back abit more. He loved the feel, sometimes he got his stance wrong just for this contact. However, he knew Katara, he knew about the human body. He knew that his thing was a simple physical reaction to his aproach to puberty. That love would never last.
It didn't stop these feelings though. It didn't stop the enjoyment he got. Yet he couldn't help but think that he would like someone as a love, not simply a crush. Someone he could relate too, hold, and be with. But he knew that doing so would endanger the other. Being the Avatar was never safe, least of all now.
His mind wandered, the only girl he really knew apart from Katara was Toph. But she never showed anything towards him, never to anyone. She was as stubborn as the rock she worked with and less likely to give way. Still, Toph was the only other candidate, just Aang never knew when to ask her. Would her love for him be skin deep? Being with the Avatar? He never dared to ask...Toph was a powerfull bender, and vital to the group...Plus, Aang knew in his heart, he was a coward when it came to love.

My first attempt ever, I don't know if i'll write more on this or leave it as a one shot. Still, any feedback would be nice. I hope you enjoy.
