Adora was asleep but Catra was wide awake. Her thoughts were racing and she was trying her best to stay calm, but it was getting harder for her to breathe.
Something in Adora sensed that something was wrong and she woke up.
She looked around and quickly noticed her best friend hyperventilating and shaking. Friend? Adora asked in her mind. She had feelings for the feline that felt like more, but she didn't dwell on it.
She crawled over to the side of the bed that Catra was on.
The panicked cat hissed at Adora out of fear.
"It's okay. It's just me"
Catra looked away.
Adora put her hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Catra. It's okay. You're just having one of your attacks"
Attacks. They heard through the grapevine that's what to call sudden shifts into a panic. Panic attacks. Though, they never really talked about it. Emotions make you weak
After a few minutes, Catra started to calm down.
She was exhausted and laid down.
As she was falling asleep she mumbled out a "Thanks, Adora"
Adora smiled
"No problem"
