    Summary

    “Why are you here?” Adora asks.

    Catra steps in close, gratified when Adora takes a shaky step back and then another, til her back is up against the wall of the gym. “Would you believe that I missed you?”

    --

    When Adora transfers from Horde Academy to Bright Moon Prep in their final year of high school, she and Catra pretty much stop talking. Until they don't.

    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

    “I mean,” explains Adora, “We were friends for so long, and all that. Don’t you–” she swallows, “–don’t you miss me, too?”

    “You can’t miss someone sitting right across from you,” responds Catra. Adora can’t help but disagree.

    She looks at Catra expectantly, and after a pause, Catra lets out a long breath. “Fine, fine,” she says. “You’ve always been my favorite ghost, skeleton in the closet, whatever.” Adora frowns over at her. Catra shrugs, evidently unwilling to say anything else. Catra gives her another look that punctuates this, a look that says stop asking for more and Adora, folding her hands neatly, does as she's told.

    Summary

    Catra had never hated anyone more in her life, not even herself. She was sure that she had somehow died and been sent to Hell, forced to stare at the grown-up version of her childhood best friend on a dating app she only ever used for the brief validation of matching with pretty girls instead of actually talking to them. Maybe matching with Adora was punishment for just that.

    Summary

    “We should have something that’s ours, you know?”

    And Catra can’t fight her on that. It’s been years since the war, but old habits die hard, and Adora is still learning how to be selfish. How to just say no when she wants to, sleep when she needs to, let go of her burdens when they weigh her down. She gets better day by day. And if Adora wants to build something of her own from the ground up, so be it. It’s not in her nature to do things the easy way.

    Catra laces their fingers together. She kisses the back of Adora’s hand. “I’m in.”
