Jealous Aang take two under the cut :) (also I like these asks so i’m in the hang of writing a bit everyday after work since my chapters in Heartbeat are already pretty short)
“So you’re the Greatest Earthbender in the World, huh?”
The words piqued Aang’s attention and he turned around to see a man leaning on a wall, in conversation with Aang’s girlfriend who seemed to only be entertaining the man with a small smirk on her face.
“That I am. And you are?”
“Huaping.” He held out a hand for her to shake, which she took. “What are you doing at this lowly party all by yourself?”
“Well, I’m not. I’m here with my boyfriend” is what Aang expected her to say- or at least something along those lines.
Instead, Toph said, “Well, I only save the world by day. By night, I like to party occasionally.”
“Yeah? Do you mind if I get you a drink?” Huaping asked with a smile that Aang was sure he called “the lady-killer.”
“Get me two.” Toph replied, keeping up with his flirty tone.
As soon as the other man stepped away, Aang sped over to her, almost knocking someone else over in his haste. “Hey, what- uh who’s that guy?”
“Huaping. He’s getting us drinks.” Toph said, blowing a piece of hair off her cheek.
“He wanted to get you drinks.”
Toph shrugged. “He can want to do that. I can’t stop him.”
Aang was frustrated; Toph didn’t seem to really understand his issue with the situation. “Toph, you were flirting back with him.”
“Just so he’d get me drinks!” She said, suddenly exasperated. “Aang, do you really think I’d actively flirt with another person while at a party with you? Or, at all?”
“No! I didn’t think you would that’s why I was so surprised.”
“I knew you could hear us, dummy.” Toph laughed. “Here, he’s coming back. Do you wanna claim me in front of him, Mr. Quick-To-Be-Jealous.”
Aang paused before admitting quietly, “Kind of.”
Before she got the chance to respond, Huaping’s voice made them both direct their attention toward him. “I got drinks- oh, shit, the Avatar.”
Aang saw him holding out the drinks and, before he could properly think, took them both out of his hands, gave one to Toph, and said, “Thanks, buddy.”
“Uh, you’re welcome.” His hands hovered in the air for a moment before he let them drop to his sides.
Aang slipped his arm around Toph’s waist, who naturally settled into his side without much question. “Hey, I think Sokka and Suki just came in.”
“Ah, gotta go then. Thanks again, Huaping.” Toph tilted her head, giving him the same smirk she gave when he first approached her.
Huaping lifted a hand as he watched them walk away. “See you later.”
Once they were out of his earshot, Toph started snickering. “That was a little mean, Aang.”
Aang grinned. “It’s only mean because you decided to lead him on.”
“But I got us drinks!” She lifted the cup up.
Aang buried his head into hair and gave her a kiss. “Just tell me to get you a drink next time. you vixen.”
“Fine,” she feigned annoyance as she conceded, but leaned her head back onto his shoulder and let out a sigh of happiness.
