[Adora's POV]
I woke up to the sun hitting my face from the window and it warmed my skin. That, and the alarm went off, which I slammed silent.
I was still dizzy and the world seemed to be a blur, but I realised a weight on my right leg, and the numbness that it had made.
My eyes fixated on a curled up Catra, laid over my calf and over the sheets. I could tell she was somewhat awake because her ears twitched and her tail swished left to right. She was dressed in what looked like a random oversized shirt and some loose shorts, which looked good on her. That's when everything came back to me. After the whole 'make Catra purr' situation, we continued to play the game. It didn't manage to go very far because Catra was afraid I didn't want to do anything more, which I understand since we're still just friends.
But I don't remember her staying behind after everything. I know Glimmer said we should switch roommates, but I didn't think she meant tonight. However, the other door creaked open... and her and Bow both snuck through.
- "Wow. Very clever, Catra and Bow." I say flatly, and Catra suddenly woke up at the sound of her name, which eased my leg a little.
- "Whaaaat?" Bow answered, "I thought we were switching rooms. Anyways meandGlimmeraregoingtogotakeashowerbeforelessons, okay bye!"
- "They were up all night." Catra murmured and then yawned, so that I was able to see what she was wearing.
- "Catra... that's my shirt."
- "I know. But it's mine now."
- "You can't just do that!"
"Err, yes I can."
"No you can't!"
"Well too bad. I'm not giving it back."
"Fine."
"That's sweet of you Adora, thanks." Catra smirked and triumphantly wagged her tail.
- "You said they were up all night? Doing what exactly?"
Catra gave me a weird look. One that said she wasn't able to get to sleep very easily.
- "Oh."
- "Yeah."
An awkward atmosphere surrounded us as we sat there in silence until Catra spoke up again.
- "So, the big flag?" she said pointing at my pride flag on the wall, "...where did you buy it?"
She said it in a tone where it seemed like that wasn't the question she was going to ask, but I answered her anyway.
- "Some shop near my house. I snuck out to get it the other day since my parents don't know."
- "What do you mean they don't know? They don't know that you're gay?"
- "Well yeah... They're not the most accepting of... anything I do, really."
Catra scooted towards me, finally relieving my leg fully and cocked her ears.
