A/N: A take on Written Parody's ABCs of Zutara request. A is for Acknowledge.

Toph wasn't the first person to insinuate that Katara and Zuko liked each other. Sure she could feel their pulses race when they were close but Katara's pulse had raced out of anger and his slightly out of fear at the beginning. She just thought it was a lingering effect of the past.

Sokka, though admittedly brilliant at military strategy, hadn't even been able to pick up on Aang's crush on Katara. He lived in a world where boys did like Katara but she seemed to only notice the blatant ones, like Jet. Even then she had ended up hating him so clearly she wasn't interested in boys. Yet. He was looking forward to that.

Aang, well, Aang was confused about how he felt in general. He had a crush on Katara but at the same time he wasn't sure if he liked kissing her. It felt…not wrong, but not exactly right. Maybe it was just the fact that they were under a lot of stress trying to defeat the Fire Lord. Surely Katara would come around later, right?

Suki, however, was new. While she could guess at the animosity between the two she noticed little things. Zuko seemed obsessed with getting Katara to just look at him without contempt in her eyes. Katara, for her part, had a grudge the size of Kyoshi Island against the prince whilst not being able to take her eyes off Zuko. This attraction only became more pronounced after their little field trip. Katara almost tripped over herself to be nice to Zuko as he smiled more and more at her.

Finally she had had enough. She was going to confront one of them about this to see what was going on. They were having a break on the beach (or "Aang and Katara practicing waterbending" if Zuko was asked). Needless to say Zuko was the target of her questioning.

"So," she began as she plopped herself next to him, "how long have you liked Katara?"

His eyes went wide before stuttering, "I don't, she doesn't, we're-"

"Save it Sparky. I know you had a girlfriend and something happened but you keep staring at her and obsessing about her."

He put his head in his hands. "Am I that obvious?"

"Yeah. So is Katara though."

"Really?"

"Are you kidding? She pays extra attention to you, had that long-standing grudge, and now can't help but make things up to you. She has it bad, I just don't think she knows it yet." Suki watched his face as he stared at the waterbender in question. She saw him begin to smile a little.

"So there's hope?"

"Of course there is. Just don't mess things up. She's practically my sister so I'm watching you."

"Why is it when I get one girl to stop suspecting me of something another decides to do the same?" He huffed.

"You're just lucky that way."

A/N: This is the first in series of each chapter being inspired by a word for each letter of the alphabet. I have the B and C pretty much down, but the rest I'm not so sure about. I have a whole list but I'm only in love with two or three other letters so any suggestions are appreciated!
