She saved you once, and now she never lets you out of her reach. ────୨ৎ──── After a sudden attack leaves Y/N in danger, Toph Beifong steps in and saves them without hesitation. What should have been a single encounter turns into something far more persistent—Toph refuses to leave Y/N alone afterward, staying close, intervening before threats fully form, and quietly inserting herself into their daily life. Y/N doesn’t understand why she won’t let them out of her sight, and Toph refuses to explain. As travel, danger, and proximity force them together, a tense bond forms that slowly shifts from protection into something deeper, more personal, and increasingly impossible to ignore. ૮ Ꮚ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ა 𓈓 🌱 ִ ۟ ✧
