11. Fresh.

Upon the arrival of a formal visit to the Southern Water tribe with his Uncle, Zuko was promptly reprimanded and whacked by Gran-Gran for acting 'fresh' towards his elder relative; he had yet to figure out what 'fresh' meant, and why Katara randomly giggled good-naturedly at him from that point on.

12. Ballad.

People always said that men chose women who slightly resembled their mothers in some form, and he could stand behind that statement; she and his mother's tastes in the arts were frighteningly parallel.

13. Club.

When he first joined the Gaang, it took out a lot of his energy to make Katara warm up to him; in the end, though, when she hugged him, he found that he'd do anything and everything to make her happy.

14. Frog.

After Katara relayed the story on how she had to suck on frozen frogs, Zuko couldn't help but look at the amphibians with a burning jealousy from then on...

15. Vital.

The lightening bolt that Azula shot at Zuko barely missed his vital organs; it took everything Katara had to keep her lips off of his when he softly smiled up towards her.

16. Dance.

Zuko leaned down to whisper in Katara's ear as he traced his hands up and down her sides: "Have you ever heard of the horizontal tango?"

17. Deaf.

By some freak accident, Katara temporarily loses her hearing; she finds that not being able to hear anyone's voice, especially Zuko's distinct rasp, would drive anyone mad.

18. Trail.

Zuko finds it painfully funny how he always ends up chasing after something that is constantly inches from his grasp.

19. Noble.

When she walks down the aisle, he thinks for a moment that she is walking towards him; but when she stops in front of Aang and the music stops, he remembers that he is merely the best man and that that is all he ever will be from that point on.

20. Earth.

When Katara and Zuko are in the same room, Toph can sense their sporadic heart rates; she finds it disappointing, that Katara would pity Aang and pretend for him, but she never says anything, for the sake of not getting involved.

Okay, there's ten more! I tried, tried, TRIED adding more of a fluffy quality to some, but that's just not my thing. I cringe at those things, even if I'm a romantic at heart. I'm more of a humurous romantic. I like crude...romance...

ANYWAY. So, yep. Twenty. Only 8 more weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
