Toph smirked as she watched the two teens arguing over some trivial problem. The earthbender could feel their heartbeats skyrocketing with every comeback exchanged. She knew better than to say it was only from anger.

"As if, Zuko!" Katara shouted back. "I told you exactly where it was!"

"Obviously you didn't if I wasn't able to find it!" He yelled in her face.

Toph's smirk grew even more before she finally cut in. "You guys argue like a married couple!"

She effectively caught their attention since they both started to sputter indignantly. "Hey guys! Look at Mommy and Daddy! Aren't they just the cutest things?" Toph continued, sightless eyes sparkling with mischief. She didn't have to see to know they were both turning red.

Suki joined in the teasing, catching Toph's drift. "Yeah! I can totally see something going on here!"

The two blushed even harder. "No! There is nothing going on!" Katara exclaimed.

"Yeah, you guys are crazy." Zuko added heatedly. The rest of the Gaang members just rolled their eyes. Save for Sokka who seemed completely oblivious to the implied truth behind Toph and Suki's ribbing.

The earthbender slyly turned to her partner in crime. "Hey, Suki. Do you know what the first sign of love is?"

Suki grinned. "Why, isn't it denial, Toph?"

Katara and Zuko both refused to look at the other, faces flushed. The waterbender growled in frustration and Zuko puffed smoke from his nostrils. They swiftly turned from the group and marched away in opposite directions.

Suki started to crack up at their blatant attraction.

Toph cackled before shouting after them.

"Denial!"

Katara promptly screeched.
