Through the struggles

Adora... Adora saved me... Horde Prime's control...I couldn't fight it, I wanted to fight him, not her. Even when I was trying to kill her, she didn't let me fall... fall off the ledge, fall completely into the Horde's control. Even after I told her to stay away... she didn't, she didn't she... 

Catra gasped and woke up, feeling even more confused. She... She saved me from the Horde... Catra couldn't believe it... She was so bad to Adora, but Adora still wanted her. Her, of all people. "It's not right..." "I SHOULD BE DEAD!" Catra screamed.

"Huh? What?" Adora said groggily. She was sleeping in the spare bed next to Catra's, because she insisted on sleeping in her room.

"Did you say... I should go back to bed?" "Yes, Adora. Go back to bed." Adora looked at Catra, who looked petrified. "Wait, what's wrong? Did something happen? I'll bring She-Ra out!" Catra looked wearily at Adora who was still in her pajamas. 

"No, nothing happened. I just had... a bad dream." "Oh, are you okay?" Adora came and sat on Catra's bed, a little too close for Catra's liking, but she let her stay. "Y-yes. I'm perfectly fine, Adora. Now maybe you should go back to sleep."

Adora held Catra's hand, startling her. She didn't want Adora to touch her, make her feel vulnerable. She had to keep her walls up. It was the only way to keep herself safe. 

But, but the way she looks at me... Can't I just lean onto her? Trust her again? Surely it wouldn't hurt, right? Catra was conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to accept Adora's love, to reach out to her, just once. But on the other hand, Adora screwed with her emotions. Made her feel happy, but sad. Loved, but hated. It tore at her, confusing her so much, she could hardly think.

A single tear rolled down Catra's cheek, surprising her, because she was usually good at keeping her emotions hidden, or so she thought. "Oh, Catra don't cry!" 

Adora's sympathy just made her feel even worse. "Adora pulled Catra close to her, cradling her in her warmth, but the kind gestures just made her feel worse, for she felt like she didn't deserve them.

"Catra, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not leaving. Not ever again. But you have to promise me that you'll own up to your actions. It'll make you feel better." Catra was sobbing into the fabric of Adora's shirt, but she didn't seem to mind. Adora was trying to get her to calm down. 

"Catra:" She sniffed. "It's all going to be okay, but since I seem to be making you feel worse, I'll go back to my room. I'll be down the hall if you need me. See you in the morning."

The thought of having to spend the night alone in that cold room, without Adora to warm her made her snap out of it. "Adora, no! Don't leave!" She ran out of the room and down the hall to Adora's. "Adora, wait!" She burst into her room. 

"Ahh! what the hell, Catra? What happened?" "I-I just didn't want to sleep alone... can I stay here, please?

Adora looked at her in shock. Catra never asked her for affection, no matter how much she wanted to give it to her. Now looking at Catra from across the room, her feet shifting from side to side, Adora realized that Catra wants her affection. She just didn't know how to ask. "Of course you can stay." Adora scooted over making space for her. 

"Oh, Um... I could just sleep on the floor. You don't have to do that."She smiled. "I know. But I want you here, next to me." Catra hesitated, but she walked over to Adora and laid down next to her. "This is embarrassing." Catra muttered, her face bright red. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. I hate sleeping alone. I don't want you to feel lonely or anything."

Catra leaned against Adora's shoulder. "Th-thanks." She nuzzled against her. "When you were... gone, I had to sleep alone. Every night, I pretended that I didn't need anyone, but I was...lonely." Adora kissed her forehead, although she didn't know if she would want her to. "Adora... You know I love you, right?" 

Before she could respond, Catra grabbed her and kissed her. Adora was surprised, but pressed against her and kissed her back. "Catra...I love you too..." Catra realized that this was all she'd ever wanted. All she wanted was to be close to Adora like this. To feel Adora next to her, a part of her. She pulled back and gasped for a breath, although she never wanted to pull away from Adora again.

"Adora, please. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I was horrible, and I don't deserve to be in this world." "Catra," "But I'm going to try to do better. All I want in life is you. So as long as I have you, I'll be okay." Adora smiled at her with tears in her eyes, proud that she was trying her best. "We both have things to work on, Catra. But as long as we know that we have each other, everything will be alright."

"We'll get through this."

Hello Guys! Sorry it took me so long to post this. I was supposed to post on Thursday but got caught up with stuff I needed to do. I'm still trying to figure everything out, but I hope you enjoyed this!
