    Summary

    “Seriously, Adora. All that money for, like, holding hands in front of a camera? It can’t get easier than that. You endured me for like, ten years? I’m sure you can power through these four weeks.” She gets up and leans on the back of her chair, getting closer to Adora’s face. “Just don’t fuck it up and we’ll be fine.” 

    Adora scowls at her and forces herself to not start another argument. Catra ignores it and turns away. 

    “See ya later, girlfriend.” She says over her shoulder.

    Girlfriend. Adora shudders at that word. 

    Only after Catra is gone Adora remembers they didn’t even plan anything out. She closes her eyes and rubs her temples again, taking another deep breath. Four weeks of pretending to be Catra’s girlfriend. Those are about to be the longest weeks of her life.

    It wasn’t until Adora collapsed into the backseat of the cab and went to pull out the address that she realized.

    This was not her freaking phone.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to be so scared of this, you know,” Bow started, voice low. Catra’s chest tightened, just a little. “Not the- Not the contact. I get why that makes you nervous, I do. I just mean … leaning on us a little. Letting us take care of you. Because we want to. I know that’s hard to accept, but we do.”
    “I’m a fully functioning adult person,” Catra said, “I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

     

    In which Catra learns that it's okay to be vulnerable, and that leaning on people isn't the worst thing in the world.

    Summary

    She takes her turn to look, now, eyes lazily on Catra’s figure. She blinks and she sees a sword, a portal, a void behind her. She sees Catra jumping and she doesn’t know where. She thinks about the morning, about waking up and seeing Catra; soft hands on her hands, a party, for her, that Catra had planned and—
    “Stay with me, okay?”
    She tries.

    Summary

    “Aren’t you two—”

    “If you’re done talking about Adora and Catra getting married,” says Entrapta, with all the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer, “I have calculated the voltage needed…”

    Wherever the rest of Entrapta’s sentence is going to go, it falls away. The whole room falls away as understanding hits Catra like a bolt of lightning, an electrifying shock to her system that leaves her reeling. Getting married? Her and Adora? Questions well up on her tongue — What? Why? — and she doesn’t realize she has fumbled through those fragmented inquiries until Frosta answers her.

    “Um. You’re wearing Adora’s pin.”

    Summary

    Adora doesn’t let go of her once.

    She can still feel Catra trembling in her arms, holding onto her with a desperate tightness that made every muscle in her body tense. It lasts this way for hours.

    After Adora rescues Catra from Horde Prime's grasp, they start to reconnect.

    Summary

    She wanted to reach for Catra, now. She wanted to touch her; to hold her close, not as a result of life-altering circumstances, but just because. She wanted, and she wanted, and it was as true as the frantic beating of her heart in her throat.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    Catra had imagined lots of scenarios for her first bus ride to school. Annoying people screaming on the seats around of her, getting kicked out by the bus driver for punching a random guy (wouldn’t be the first time), or whatever other torture school buses could provide.

    She never imagined she’d be listening to Taylor Swift and sharing earphones with a complete stranger. A very cute stranger. And nothing felt weird or awkward., like if Adora and Catra had known each other for a long time already. Maybe the universe wasn’t so mean after all.

    or

    Catra likes to pretend she's too cool to have feelings.
