Work Text:
the bell rang and it was finally lunchtime
now adora had the perfect chance to ask catra out to prom well if she doesn't chicken out like last time and the time before and the time before that and the time before - well you get the jest
she just didn't want the rejection it's been years since she started crushing on her best friend and she just couldn't tell her because it was too scary what if she destroyed their friendship? what if catra thought she was weird ? what if catra decides they could no longer be friends? her head kept coming up with different type of what ifs and she just couldn't stop them
but no
no
no
no
no
no
she was braver than this! she was stronger than this
and she had absolutely made her mind she was going to ask her out no matter what happened
she was a fearless girl she could surely do it !
with this newly found determination she looked around to find catra in the cafeteria
when she found her she walked up to her with loud stomps and a confidence ripped from gods but when those eyes turned to look at her and when she saw her smile and her pretty hair covering her shoulders and-
"hey adora "
said catra with enthusiasm to see her
she froze
the godly confidence was long gone
and she didn't know what to do
"catra um i uh um can i ..?no i mmm i just"
she stumbled through her words like a toddler trying to learn how to form sentences
"what? cat got your tongue"
catra laughed
yes cat got my tongue you are that cat! adora said to herself mentally
"never mind"
said adora
"oh come on now im suspicions"
"i said it was nothing"
"ohhh now i really wanna know"
catra was more interested than usual which was nightmarish for poor adora at this very moment
"drop it catra"
"nuh uh you dont get to tell me what to do princess and i will get you to talk !"
said her friend mischievously
she stepped closer to adora still not sure how to get her to talk
adora blushed and backed away
then catra took another step closer
and they continued
until they were both running playing a cat and mouse
"oh come on adora just tell me" said catra as she ran after adora
"no no no" said adora running away
catra was having fun she always liked playing cat and mouse (when she was the cat)
"aww come on just say it already you know im gonna get you one way or another!"
catra was laughing
adora ran into an empty classroom and unfortunately fell down
catra used this golden opportunity to throw herself at her and pin her down
"let go catra" said adora who couldn't help but smile
"nope never tell me what you wanted to say or im not letting go"
said catra playfuly
"..."
" im waiting yk"
catra said looking at her
adora sighed maybe this was clue from the skies to tell her to confess
"i just i just ijust wantedyoutobemypromdate"
adora said as fast as she could while looking to the side to avoid catras gaze
"prom? with me?"
catra said voice softer
"yeah it's okay if you dont want to but i really wanna go with you "
said adora who now resembled a red traffic light with how embarrassed she was
"are you kidding i always wanted to go with you its a yes"
said catra with a big smile ob her face
"so you genuinely wanna be my prom date???"
"yes like hell i was planning to ask you out tomorrow!"
adora was staring to tear up as she launched at catra hugging her tight knowing how she wanted to marry her and die with her how she could never give her up
she was a stupid child in love but so was catra
and maybe sometime its better if you're a dumb kid :)
