Chapter Text
"You've been humming that same song for the past ten minutes."
Adora looked up from her textbook, craning her neck to look at Catra sprawled across her bed. "Oh. Sorry. Am I disturbing you?"
Catra shrugged, idly flipping the page of her magazine. "Not really. I gave up on studying about half an hour ago." She propped her head on her hand, rolling her gaze lazily to look down at Adora on the floor. "But I'm seconds away from clawing out your vocal chords because now it's going to be stuck in my head all week."
Her threat was empty and Adora knew that because she giggled, even if she did try and hide it behind her hand. But Catra still knew from the way her nose scrunched up and how she tilted her head to let her hair flop over her face while her shoulders shook. Her heart stuttered in her chest and she curled her hand into a fist to resist the urge to brush golden locks away, fought the impulse to see Adora's glowing features.
"I can stop."
There was a long pause where Catra looked away, back down to her magazine. The conversation seemed like it was over.
"I didn't say that," she said finally.
From the corner of her eye she saw the smile pull at Adora's lips before the room was filled with her soft humming once more.
