I Won't Leave You (Toph Beifong x Male! Reader)

The Ember Island Players

You watch Aang and Zuko practice firebending from the porch. It was nice to lay on a bed with your girlfriend for a change. You and Toph have gotten even closer since the night she saw you for the first time, if that's even possible. She's gotten more flirty and calm around you. She lays down with her head in your lap and Katara sits beside you. You're all in your Fire Nation attire. When a break in the training is called, Katara asks a question that's been on your mind since you all arrived. "Doesn't it seem kind of weird that we're hiding from the firelord in his own house?"

"I told you, my father hasn't been here since our family was actually happy, and that was a long time ago. It's the last place anyone would think to look for us."

"You guys are not gonna believe this." Sokka hypes, coming through the gate, "There's a play about us."

"How?" You ask.

"I don't know." Suki says, "But we were just in town and we found this poster." Sokka pulls it out.

"Listen to this." Sokka says before reading the poster, "The Boy In the Iceberg is a new production from acclaimed playwright: Puan Tin."

"Why him?" You groan, "No offense, Sparkle Fingers, but your people have awful taste."

"None taken."

"He scoured the globe, gathering information on the Avatar, from the icy South Pole, to the heart of Ba Sing Se. His sources include: Singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, a pet store owner and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage."

"Brought to you by the Ember Island Players." Suki adds, causing you and Zuko to audibly groan.

"My mother used to take us to see them." Zuko says, "They butchered Love Amongst the Dragons every year."

"You think that's bad? Try watching them butcher your own family's history." You reply, "If they bring back the actor who played my dad, this director is dead to me."

"That's a little harsh." Zuko replies.

"Sokka do you really think it's a good idea for us to attend a play about ourselves?"

"Come on, a day at the theater? This is the kind of wacky, time wasting nonsense I've been missing! Come on, Y/N, wasn't your mom an actor?"

"Two things, one: actress, two: these guys made her physically nauseous."

"Well we have to see it to believe it."

Soon, you're in your seats. You sit next to Toph, then Katara, then Zuko, Aang sits behind you all dejectedly with Sokka and Suki. "Why are we sitting in the nosebleed section?" Toph asks, "My feet can't see a thing from up here!" Then she puts her hand on yours. "I'll be fine. Don't worry."

"Yeah Y/N, don't worry, I'll tell her feet what's happening." Katara inputs.

Then they lift the curtains to show a rather impressive set piece with two people supposed to represent Katara and Sokka. "Sokka, my only brother, we constantly roam these icy South Pole seas, and yet never do we find anything fulfilling."

"Well she's as good at acting as Katara." you mutter, before she thwaps you on the chest. "Owie!"

"All I want is a full feeling in my stomach, I'm starving!" Not-Sokka says, somehow everyone finds this funny.

"Is food the only thing on your mind?"

"Well, I'm trying to get it out of my mind and into my mouth. I'm starving!" More laughter.

"This is pathetic! My jokes are way funnier than this." Sokka hisses.

Toph laughs at her friend's expense, "I think he's got you pegged." Then she wraps her arm around you.
