"You wanted to talk to me?" he asked, sitting down next to her on the steps to what once was his family's vacation home.

"Yes," she said.

"Then talk."

She looked at him and raised her eyebrow. "Fine. This might sound a little forward, but…I don't know how to say it any other way."

"Just apologize to me."

"What?"

"I forgive you."

"For what?"

"You weren't going to apologize to me?" Zuko asked.

"Of course not," she exclaimed. "I have nothing to apologize for, Backstabber."

"Then I have nothing to listen to. Good-night, Sugar Queen," he sneered, shoving off the steps and walking across the courtyard.

"Wait, Zuko!" Katara stood from the steps. Zuko stopped walking and sighed, irritated."Please let me say what I wanted to say."

"You can say it, but I won't listen," he said, folding his arms across his chest.

She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for not trusting you, but I've seen the way you talk to Toph and encourage Aang. I see the way you try to befriend my brother and how you were so much of a big brother to the Duke. I'm sorry I wasn't a friend to you. But I think I want to be—and I know this sounds weird because I've always given the impression that I hate you, but I don't think I do. Anymore. I don't think I hate you. I think I might like you."

Her fingers wound around themselves as she spoke, captivating Zuko. He tried not to listen, but her voice invaded his mind. "You weren't paying attention were you?" she asked.

"What am I supposed to say to that?" he whispered more to the night than to the young girl standing in the moonlight. More silent moments passed between them before she spoke.

"Now would be your cue to say something back."

Cricket-hoppers chirped somewhere near the fountain in the courtyard. His brain told him to continue in the opposite direction but his feet moved forward of their own accord and stopped in front of her. He sighed as his hand came to rest against her cheek. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes. "I don't take cues," he said before closing the gap between their lips.

A/N: This drabble was a challenge sent to me by a reviewer. Just think, daydream...the next drabble could be the challenge YOU send to me.

The challenge was "Cue". And being involved in almost every school play, I instantly thought of "Cue Line!" and then I thought of "ZUTARA!". So that's how this came to be.

So, as was mentioned in the past several A/Ns, I accept challenges. Whether I do a good job on them or not...not my fault.
