[A/N: Before we start this chapter, I just wanted to say a huge HUGE thank you for 1k reads and over 100 votes. I started writing this story, thinking it would get maybe 10 reads, since it's still my first story, so honestly THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! This episode will be a bit more of a relief and cute little thing along with some plot, just because I didn't want it to be too much drama all the damn time and just as a thank you gift to all my avid readers that have stuck around for so long! Also TW for all those anti-love humans, this is a super fluffy chapter so... enjoy!❤️]
[Adora's POV]
It had been two weeks since Catra and I stayed our first night at Mermista's.
We didn't want to go back to sleep in our dorm rooms, since that would mean facing Glimmer and Bow after we both lashed out on them, so we decided to only go when we needed to get fresh clothes, and luckily they had never been home when we turned up.
Tonight Catra and I slept on the sofa facing the TV. We had watched She-Ra the night before and she had fallen asleep midway through the second episode of Season 2, so I just left her to rest while me, Scorpia and Mermista finished it. I ran my fingers through her short hair, which made her purr gently, making me smile.
Once the episode finished, she wouldn't budge, so I just let myself relax and lay down, her head still on my lap, and her body on my legs.
I couldn't really sleep though.
It was hard leaving Glimmer and Bow alone, but also the bad blood was rising between us like a barricade.
Not to mention, we hadn't heard from Mara or Entrapta at all in the time that we were gone. Catra said she received a text from Entrapta, telling her to see her, the night we first crashed at Mermista's, but Catra was too overwhelmed to show up.
It's 3:42am.
I still can't sleep, no matter how hard I shut my eyes.
- "Ad...ora?" Catra whispers from below my waist.
- "Hey Catra, I thought you were asleep." I whisper back.
- "I was, but I can hear how fast your pulse is, so you're obviously not. What's wrong?"
- "Nothing. I'm fine." I smile, even in the dark room amidst the dim moonlight.
- "Adora, be honest."
She sat up, yawning, and positioned herself in a straddle position over my lap.
- "Whatcha gonna do? Seduce me until I tell you?" I giggle silently.
- "And what if I am?"
My cheeks became a dusty rose colour at her mischievous comment, but it wasn't visible in the darkness. Catra, still straddling my hips, put her head onto my chest, and wrapped her arms around my torso, purring quietly.
- "Comfortable?" I whisper jokingly.
- "Yeah. But now tell me what's wrong."
- "I just can't stop thinking about everything, you know? Bow, Glimmer, Mara, Entrapta. How are they? And what about Sarah? She escaped prison, but where is she now? Is she looking for us? What if another signal got sent out when we kissed our first night here and everyone saw us together? What if-"
- "Why don't we find out?" Catra purrs.
- "What?"
- "If they can see us when we kiss."
- "Catra, I thought we were going to take our time?"
- "You didn't seem to think that when we played truth or dare with Sparkles and Croptop."
