Sokka Sokka hummed softly as he walked into the hospital, waving the the nurses and doctors. He had a brace on one hand. Fortunately, with advanced science, he'd be good to go in a week! Unfortunately, he had to wait a week. But it could have been far, far worse.

Still, he had a picnic basket under one arm(yes, an ACTUAL picnic basket. He truly was a big spender sometimes), and had that big goofy grin on his face that made girls just fall all over him. Often literally. His presence seemed to amplify the clumsiness of all around.
Toph Beifong     "Now remember, you need to apply this medicine to your back to prevent it from getting infected. There's also the matter of the scars healing up, girls your age shouldn't get so many scars you know," the nurse instructs Toph as she hands the girl a bottle of ointment. Of course said comment does make Toph arch an eyebrow. "I'm not bothered about scars." Why should she be? But fine, she wouldn't want it to get infected, so she'll deal with this.

    But she's finally getting to leave medical again, so that's good. Even if it's not that bad, it's still medical. There are people there, telling you what to do and now that she's older and knows better she can't exactly go against their orders either. Unless she wants a lecture from a worried Pepper.

    As Sokka arrives Toph turns around a bit, her face brightening up. "Sokka!" She hauls her bag with her, walking up to meet him. "Finally, that took you long enough! Let's get going!"
Sokka Sokka chuckled and moved up, cupping her cheeks and then pushing in. He kissed her, his lips capturing hers between his, his tongue sliding into her mouth, gently but firmly pinning her tongue beneath his. He let this carry on for a few seconds before pulling back and tapping the picnic basket.

"So, Toph," Oh, her actual name, must be special. "I decided to celebrate, we're going on a picnic." Wait, so the whale kissing wasn't part of it? He sure ACTED like it was a celebration. His hand moved down to grab hers. "Come on, kiddo, let's go."
Toph Beifong     Perhaps if this wasn't in front of other people, then maybe Toph wouldn't be taken by surprise so much. But as it is, Sokka's affectionate actions does make the blind teenager eep a bit, though she does respond to the kiss and rests her hands on his upper arms. When he does pull back the earthbender is still standing there, opening her eyes again even as the blush fades slightly from her cheeks. "... I told you, not in public," she mutters a bit, even if the nurses aren't looking at them.

    His next words however, that does make Toph blink in surprise. "We're... going on a picnic? Where? And what are we celebrating? Me getting out of medical? Then you better be prepared to celebrate a lot, 'cause I end up in medical quite a few times...!" she warns him, entwining her fingers with his as she moves to follow him.
Sokka Sokka snickered softly. "What? A little kiss won't get stadler that mad. And if it does... well, you're my girlfriend. I want to show you how happy I am you're okay." He nuzzled her a bit as he led her out.

That, however, made him frown. "Yeah. I guess... you rarely ended up in medical before," he mumbled softly, sounding just a tad annoyed. Awwww, was he worried that the big bad multiverse was going to beat up his girl friend? His hand tightened against hers. "Right, toph. I just... you know, wanna help keep you healthy. And... happy. You know?"
Toph Beifong     "I dunno," Toph chuckles slightly, leaning into Sokka as they walk. It does seem like she's not in pain like she was the other day "And of course I'm okay, I just need to take it easy for a few days so they don't whine to dad and mom..." Toph says, holding up the bottle of ointment. "Guess you have to help me with the medicine tomorrow." With that she puts the bottle into her bag.

    It's not like Toph has been a stranger to medical over the years, and she chuckles a bit. "Just ask dad about how many times I've been in medical since I joined the multiverse," she asides to him, swinging their joined hands a bit as they walk. "And I know, I want you to be happy and healthy too."

    With that she leans forward a bit, trying to get a whiff of the basket. "So what are we eating, and where are we going?"
Sokka Sokka grinned and chuckled. "Really? If you don't take it easy I'LL start whining at you. And I'll probably be worse. You KNOW how talented I can be at whining," he said with a big grin, squeezing her hand.

He frowned when she said that, though. "Yeah... I guess so. It's hard not to get... hurt here. Isn't it?" he asked, his hand slowly tightening.

He pulled it away. "HEY! No peeking! Or you'll miss out on the best parts. And it's a surprise." He led her along, towards the gateway. where were they headed? ... Wait... were they... Eventually she'd figure it out. They were heading to a... ... ... "PAINT BALL!" he said with a big grin.

That little... "So, I remember how you got upset by the whole lazer tag thing, so I thought, what'd be a lot like it? Apparently there's this thing called paint ball! I managed to get them to use some dirt based paints, too, so you could see them!"
Toph Beifong     "Yeah yeah, I'll be good, I promise," Toph chuckles. Sokka can indeed be really loud when he wants to... and outwhine even a little kid if he gets enough material to work with. There's some seriousness though, she doesn't miss it. Especially when he squeezes her hand like that. "I'm not going anywhere, dudnerhead," she assures him, then leans up to place a peck on his cheek.

    Yet, the blind teenager can't help but adapt a deadpan look. "Oh right. The blind girl shouldn't peek." Let that sink in. But indeed, she will follow Sokka to wherever he's taking them to rest with food.

    Or where he intends for them to have fun anyway. Even as Sokka grins, Toph looks confused, one eyebrow arched. "Earlier you threatened to whine at me if I didn't take me easy. So you take me to an activity that's not exactly known to be slowpaced... why?" Toph asks. If those paintballs hit her back, then that might aggravate the wounds, won't it? Yup, seems like a normal occurance for Sokka, as in not thinking such things through.
Sokka Sokka nodded and then gave her another squeeze. "I love you, Toph. I want to... always be there for you. No matter what."

"No peeking with your nose, then," he said with a snort.

"Because I--" Then pause. Blink. "Well, shit. I didn't think of this, huh. I guess the sky diving idea is out, too." Oh HECK no. "... It's still a nice place, though. You can hear people killing each other off in the distance.

As if, right on cue, someone yells in the distance. 'You hit me in the cabbages!'
Toph Beifong     "Same goes for you..." Toph murmurs softly, letting her head rest against Sokka's shoulder. She'll just have to be patient until they sit down to eat.

    No Sokka, you didn't think this through. Which doesn't surprise Toph so much, as she looks amused. At least until he mentions sky diving. Instantly Toph's eyes widen, and she looks tense. "There's no way on earth you're /ever/ dragging me up into a plate for sky diving. Normal flying is bad enough, and the only person I'll fly with besides a plane is dad, because I know that he'll catch me if he's stupid enough to drop me!" Toph points out. With that she cants her head.

    "So... did you have any other ideas? Or did you think we were going to have a picnic in the middle of the fight?"
Sokka Sokka sighed, then hugged her anyway. "Meh, whatever. I'll figure it out. And yeah, I figured I'd get you full and slow, then I'd shoot you full of paintballs. Because I'm awesome like this."

He then chuckled. "Okay, so no sky diving. Fine, well..." He rubbed his chin. "I hear they're having a festival down in earth kingdom next week. Bah sing say. Wanna go there with me? I'll treat you to some tea at Iroh's place. And get you some awesome city food. What do you say, Tophioca?"
Toph Beifong     Okay, the hug feels nice, and Toph closes her eyes where she stands. "You can shoot me full of paintballs later... once the nurses won't get on your back for messing up mine, okay? Maybe dad would want to come with too. Speaking of which, he wants to join your tabletop game the next time you run one."

    Wait, now he's planning something else? Huh, he really seems to be juggling a lot of ideas in his head nowadays. "A... festival?" Sure, Ba Sing Se still is a bit annoying with all the bureaucracy in place, but... visiting Iroh's place might not be too bad. And this time they might not have to go through all that waiting and paperwork. Because seriously, that sucked. "I... guess we could do that, yeah," she nods with a soft smile. "But for now, let's find a place to sit down and eat, I'm starving!"
Sokka Sokka chuckled and took her to a nice, secluded area. A nearby park! They could hear the fighting, but not the whole, well... getting shot part. Which was nice. He made sandwiches and roast and all kinds of other meats. and a handful of fruits. Like. An apple or two. Because screw fruits and veggies they aren't what MEN eat!
Toph Beifong     A park isn't the worst place to be with Sokka, that's for sure. Once she's gotten comfy on the picnic blanket the blind teenager seems a bit curious though, leaning closer as she sniffs, trying to idenfity what Sokka has brought for them to eat. "So what are we eating today? And did you bring some nice cool drinks too?" Toph inquires curiously.
Sokka Sokka opened his mouth, closed his mouth. "Well, shit. I guess I did forget something... err, watch this, I'll be right back!"

He ran off. And soon returned, with... iced beverages! Like, slurpees. "Close enough. Can't get much cooler than that. He held one out. "Want root beer or cherry explosion?" Lots of meat themed meals. Even the sandwiches were heavily meaty.
Toph Beifong     Okay, he can't think of everything unless they're in the heat of battle, she assumes. "I'll watch it real good, all right!" she calls after Sokka as he runs off, snickering a bit for herself. Though indeed, everything is safe when Sokka eventually returns. At the question of which flavour she wants she's not slow to answer. "Cherry!" Yup, one of her favourite flavours. And she's already helped herself to a sandwhich and some meat. "We should go on picnics more often," she manages to say, even with her mouth full and her words somewhat mumbled. But by now Sokka should know well enough how to decipher such words.
Sokka Sokka nodded and sat besides her, reaching in to take a roast beef sandwich. "We can, whenever you want, Tophie. Though, if Antlers ask I did NOT take these from the kitchen, okay? Nor did I sneak into the food stores to borrow any food," he said with a wicked wink. What? Just because he was a cop didn't mean he'd always follow all the rules. He was off duty sometimes!
Toph Beifong     An amused snicker leaves Toph, and she nods her head. "Gotcha. Not taken from the kitchen," she affirms, then leans up to kiss Sokka on the cheek. "Though I think you should be careful about it... I mean, you don't want Stadler on your ass, now do you?"
    For now Toph leans into Sokka though, half closing her eyes as she eats. "This... is nice."
Sokka Sokka shrugged. "Eh. Antlers is on my ass half the time anyway. What's one more thing? Besides, I can always just pay it back." He nodded and leaned against her as well, kissing her cheek. "Of course. I've got my best girl besides me, a nice sunlight, a--" And then a volleyball bangs off his head, sokka down!

"SORRY!"
Toph Beifong     Stadler really seems to have it out for Sokka for some reason, doesn't he? "Eh, I don't think he's concerned about the money, really..." Toph murmurs against Sokka's neck, only to shift her head a bit when he kisses her cheek. Okay, this is just the best way to relax ever, an---

    The volleyball makes Toph yelp, and she startles where she sits, feeling Sokka fall down next to her. "Sokka?"

    As the person calls out, Toph does blink. Only to kick her heel into the ground where she sits, causing the earth to shift... and launch the volleyball back towards the person who called out, aiming it for /his/ head!
Sokka There was a pained oof from the distance.

Sokka groans, laying on his back, swirls for eyes. "Just... just gonna lay here. Watch the puffy clouds for a bit. That one kind of looks like your foot... yayyyyyyy..." Man, the universe really, really hatedh im, didn't it?
Toph Beifong     Once she's sent the ball flying back where it came from, Toph turns back to Sokka. "You okay?" she asks, all while she reaches for one of the pieces of meat, dangling it in front of his mouth. "Yeah yeah, you just watch the clouds for a bit..." Though she seems to consider something, then she carefully reaches out to lift up Sokka's head. "Just a moment..." Shifting, Toph moves to kneel next to Sokka, all before she moves his head into her lap, blushing just a little bit. "... is that better?"
Sokka Sokka bit at the meat. What? Hurt or not, he was still Sokka. "Hmmm? What are you?"

His cheeks turned bright red and he looked up at her. "Y-yeah. You uhhh... you know what? This is better. A lot better, even. I can already feel the pain flowing away." ... Okay, so having a girlfriend was awesome. At least Antlers couldn't see it and ruin it this time.
Toph Beifong     Once Sokka is comfortable Toph relaxes, still holding the meat for him where she kneels and lets him rest his head in her lap. "The pain is flowing away because you have a thick skull," she corrects him with a slight tease, still smiling though as her other hand rests at the side of his head. "You do make some pretty good sandwhiches, you know..."
Sokka Sokka chuckles softly. "so it has nothing to do with the soft, warm, comfortable lap I get to lay on, owned by this beautiful young maiden I'm head over heals for?" He started to sit up, fell back. "Ow. Bad idea." He then reached up and lightly pinched her nose. "Got your nose~ What'll you do to get it back?"
Toph Beifong     It's a bit weird to hear Sokka talk like this to her, especially after all the time he's called her kid, buddy, stuff like that... So pardon her if her cheeks are a fair bit of red as she carefully plays a bit with his ear. "Hey, how should I know? I don't have a thing for girls after all."

    When he tries to sit up though she sighs, then puts some more food in his mouth. "Now eat up, okay?" The pinching of her nose though, that makes her blink. He's really extra silly today. "I could always lean down and bite /your/ nose off if you don't give me mine back," she points out.
Sokka Sokka blinked a few times, then grinned. "I don't know. Are you surrrrre? I could definitely see you kissing the right girl," he said with a teasing grin. "Heh heh. But then I'd probably get jealous. What if she was a better kisser than me?"

And oh wow he let her nose go quick. "Eep! No biting! I need my nose to smell! Without it, how will I know how delightful you smell lately?"
Toph Beifong     At that Toph huffs, and she /yanks/ on Sokka's ear. "The only person I'm kissing is you, so be grateful, okay?"

    It's good that he does learn however, and Toph chuckles a bit as she leans over Sokka where he lays. "I'm pretty sure that's the meat you're smelling," she teases, then reaches out for some meat... and then stuffs it into her own mouth. It's her turn to eat, damnit.
Sokka Sokka gives her a pouty look, for all the good it does. He then closes his eyes. "This is kind of nice, though. Just... you know... us being together. We should do stuff like this more often. You deserve to be pampered a bit every now and then. Even if you are a total brat. You're a good brat none the less."
Toph Beifong     "Yeah..." Toph agrees, eating contently as she uses her free hand to stroke Sokka's cheek. "Do I get to sleep in your lap next though?" she asks softly. It's... kinda sweet how he still uses an old nickname for her though. And it's nice, just being together like this outside, with food and the world just going on around them.
Sokka Sokka chuckled softly. "Don't you normally? Though, I think during most of THOSE times we're supposed to be studying. Maybe I should have a talk with your teachers about how you're slacking. What was her name? The unicorn girl? I'm sure she'd like to hear."
Toph Beifong     "Hey, it's comfortable, and you're the one pulling me into your lap," Toph points out with a snort, all before she reaches for her slushie to take a big, cool sip of it. "And I'm not slacking, she knows I read those chapters while I was in medical. If you tell on me for stuff like that, then I should tell on you to Stadler." That would only be fair!
Sokka Sokka cringed, closing his eyes. "Oy. Okay, point taken. No taddling on each other, you know?" he grinned and closed his eyes. "You know... I think I might take a little nap. Your lap makes the most perfect, comfortable place to lay on... mmmmm..." He rolled over, placing his face in her belly. "So soooooooft."
