Suki rested her hand on one of the campsite's massive boulders, steadying herself as she slid against it onto the grassy plain. She lazily stared at the fire and the pot of stew cooking on top of it, her eyes starting to glaze. It was only early morning, but she still felt drained. She just couldn't bring herself to talk to Toph.

Several times now her courage had failed her halfway to the stone tent. Suki wondered if Toph had "seen" her pacing back and forth like a pendulum before finally hiding behind a rock. Or she might still be asleep.

Her head fell forward into her hands, fingers tracing the path of her hair up to where it was tied back. How do you even tell someone that you've stolen the man she loves, when she already knows? How do you say you're sorry? Because she wasn't sorry; she couldn't apologize for how she felt for Sokka, or he her.

It was even harder when Toph seemed so outside these sorts of worries. She seemed more like a sexless force of nature than a girl worried about teenage crushes. And maybe that's all it is.

Or maybe that's what I want it to be.

The Kyoshi Warrior let her head drop backwards, tapping the stone behind her. Her still-bleary eyes winced slightly from the impact, and lazily watched the clouds drift above her, not once obscuring the sun. The dark rock felt warm on her back. Were Toph's feelings real? Were they nothing?

Does it really matter? Right now, they were real to Toph, and they were hurting her. Suki squeezed her eyes shut, moving a hand to massage her temples, trying to think of some other way. But she already knew what she had to do -- or rather, what she had to stop doing.

A sudden clang interrupted her thoughts. The cooking pot's lid had started to bounce against the rim, its weight struggling to counter the force of the steam beheath it. Suki thought to take off the lid, but stopped herself. No distractions. I have to do this.

She lifted herself back up and started toward Toph's tent. Her legs felt unsteady as her plodding footsteps approached the Earthbender's shelter. She hoped Sokka would understand. A lot of people are counting on us, and --

As she walked past Aang feeding Appa and behind another boulder, Suki saw Katara and Zuko walking toward the Airbender.

"I need to borrow Appa."

"Why? Is it your turn to take a little field trip with Zuko?"

"Yes. It is." Surprised by Katara's icy voice, Suki stopped, peeking from behind the boulder. Katara's arms were stiff at her sides, hands tightly clenched as she told Aang her plans. Suki's brow furrowed. Those two sure made peace quickly.

Her eyes widened as Sokka stepped out from behind the boulder, standing by Aang. She watched him, the others' voices fading from her mind, focusing on his dazed expression. It was the same look of detachment, that expressionless face that expressed so much last night. The last night.

Suki looked back at Toph's shelter. The irritated voices behind her turned louder, arguing about justice and revenge. She traced in her mind the grain of the stone tent's sharply jutting slabs. She didn't want this, but from the sound of things, they had enough fights. I don't want to start one more.

Her ears perked at the sound of Sokka's voice, and watched him once more. "Katara, she was my mother too. But I think Aang might be right."

"Then you didn't love her the way I did!" Katara's words sent a shiver down Suki's spine.

"Katara..."

Suki had her eyes fixed on Sokka, her fingertips almost digging into the rock face. Sokka stood firmly as Aang and Zuko continued to argue, but he still had a grimace on his face. He looked like he had been punched in the gut.

A sudden cold burst of wind swept across the field, rippling maroon cloth over Suki's skin. Katara and Zuko walked off to another corner of the camp, but the Kyoshi Warrior doubted that the fiery Waterbender had even noticed her as she passed. Shaking his head to himself, Aang turned back to feeding Appa. Gingerly stepping out from behind the boulder toward Sokka, Suki wrapped her arms around her love's shoulders, feeling them tense up as he spun around inside her embrace until they were face to face.

"Suki! I --" Sokka started, quickly covering his distant expression with a faux-suave grin. "Hey, you."

"Hey, you," Suki giggled, planting a kiss on Sokka's nose. "I missed you."

"Well, you know I had to keep an eye on Aang over there."

"Hey!" the Airbender called out.

"I mean it!" Sokka shouted back, turning his head to the Airbender. "I swear -- one of these days, Appa is going to mistake you for a clump of grass, and then boom! No more Avatar!"

Aang rolled his eyes. "Appa wouldn't do that," he said, turning to the bison. "Would ya, buddy?"

"I'm just saying," Sokka drawled, "when you're stuck trying to restore balance to the world from inside his gut, don't come crying to me!" He turned back to find Suki smirking at him. "And I, uh, may have been working on something else."

He slipped out from under her arms and stepped over to the nearby boulder. As Sokka snatched a dark string, lined with freshly-picked flowers, from the ground, Suki stole a glance at the stone tent, a lump forming in her throat. Placing the band around her neck, Sokka took her arms and placed them around him again.

"Last night," he said, his voice lowering so Aang couldn't hear, "I just noticed how all you have are your old prison clothes." His words started to run over each other. "And I thought you might like -- you know, until we get a chance to stop at a Fire Nation town and -- mmph!"

Long seconds passed before their lips parted. "It's beautiful," Suki whispered. She ran a finger along the necklace, softly squeezing the flowers' velvet petals. She remembered the touch of Sokka's fingers on her breasts. "Um, about last night... I -- I, uh --"

"Yeah?"

Suki swallowed. I can't do this. "-- I really enjoyed it," she said, her words sounding as awkward to her as Sokka's had. Her mouth felt dry. "Maybe we can make something even better tonight."

Sokka's eyes lit up as both their faces reddened. "Same time and place?" he said, winking.

"You know it." She kissed him again, and embraced him harder, her head resting on his shoulder as she felt soft kisses sprinkled on hers. Suki's eyes began to water at the sight of the stone tent standing there, watching her. She disentangled herself from Sokka and walked back toward her own tent, her steps weak and shaky again as they passed by the campfire. The stew was boiling out, caking itself to the outer walls of the pot, dribbling down into the hot ash.
