Letting Go
Hakoda didn't hate Zuko. In fact, he'd become quite fond of the boy, particularly since Zuko helped Sokka bust him out of prison. He didn't mind when Zuko started asking him for personal advice. He was happy that Sokka had a close male friend who was about the same age. In truth, he was more than happy to act as a father figure for all of the children.
Hakoda wasn't sure how he felt about Zuko and his daughter together. Romantically. He wasn't sure he was ready for her to be a woman yet. He still wanted his little girl.
A/N: One of the things that's always confused me about a lot of Zutara fics is the way people write Hakoda and Sokka in regards to Katara/Zuko. Sometimes, it's like they were still suspicious of Zuko, and he was never a part of their group. Personally, after having saved him from the Boiling Rock, I imagine Hakoda would quite like Zuko. He and Sokka would be protective of Katara, yes, but I imagine they'd think there are worse guys she could marry.
