If We Tried ~ Catradora AU

5 ~ Bad Feelings

[Quick A/N: There's sexual innuendos in this chapter but it's because I didn't want to constantly make it painful and heartbreaking to read, but there's still angst. I promise there will be more information next chapter on Catra and Adora's backstories in this AU, but I just wanted to focus on Glimmer and Bow for this one, since we haven't seen much of their POVs yet. Thank you for your your understanding :)]

[Glimmer's POV]

- "I didn't see Catra looking at us hide, so I assumed she didn't know!" I laughed holding hands with Bow as we walked into his dorm.

I noticed we almost always hung out with Adora and Catra in my dorm, so we went to talk in Bow's just in case one of them came back and heard something they weren't supposed to.

- "I can't believe Catra still danced with Adora even though she knew we were watching. AND THEY ALMOST KISSED!" Bow squeaked with excitement.

- "Tsk, well they would've if you'd just been quiet." I answered annoyed, but sat down on Bow's bed while he closed the front door.

- "I think Catra wouldn't have done it knowing we were watching, though." Bow's voice got louder as he entered the room I was in.

- "Did you see how confidently she back Adora up against the counter though?! Wow... I didn't think she'd have it in her."

- "Yeah that was pretty interesting. I knew she was feisty and would probably act like that privately, but in front of us? I didn't see that coming."

- "No Bow. She wouldn't even act like that privately. She's a bottom."

- "No way! How would you know?"

- "I'm telling you. Catra may have looked like she was getting the upper hand, but I saw something in Adora's eye for a split second. Something that said 'I'm going to turn the tables and I won't be below you anymore, I'll be over you instead'." I explained, flopping down on Bow's bed.

- "Hmm... I dunno Glimmer. I didn't quite get that from her. From what I could see, she was pretty awkward with the whole thing and let Catra get in control." Bow responded, sure of himself.

- "I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

- "I guess we shall."

Time passed and Bow and I were just talking and eating a packet of chips/crisps which we found lying in the pantry. They were a bit expired (we don't know how they got in the pantry in the first place), but we decided to eat them anyway, and they tasted... fine, actually. They weren't the worst. "I'd say if they were cheese and onion, then they'd probably be horrible. Honestly, those are just bad in general." Bow stated honestly.

[Cheese and onion is the worst flavour and it smells bad. Prove me wrong.]

- "What do you think Adora's favourite colour is? Maybe we should get her a gift?" I asked, stuffing a handful of chips in my mouth.

- "What about Catra? Do you think she has a favourite colour?" Bow asked back, turning in his desk chair.

- "I thought you didn't like her."

- "Well, I don't know she's kind of warming up to Adora, so why can't we warm up to her?"

- "Good point." I stated plainly.
