Catra doesn't have a lot to look forward to in the Horde. Most of the other Cadets ignored her. Shadow Weaver hated her, and overall, she was deemed an outcast, due to reasons she was unaware of. The only person who really cared about her was Adora, her one and only friend. 

"Catra? Catra, it's almost time! We have to finish getting ready!" Adora was holding a bundle of sparkly lights, tripping over the cords. "Adora, stop! You're going to trip and fall on your face!" Catra ran over and took the mess of cords from her, setting them on the ground. 

"Now, come on. We only do this once a year. I don't want to waste our time."

Catra and Adora had a tradition. On Christmas Eve, (Which Adora had learned about from overhearing the older kids) They would decorate the inside of an old storage closet, the only place they felt truly safe, and stay there for two nights. And whenever someone asked where they were, they would make up an excuse. They had been doing it for years.

"I know, I can't wait! Did you bring the ration bars?" "Yep. I even managed to grab some of that weird seasoning stuff you like... still not sure where they got it from though."

Adora blushed, she didn't know Catra remembered, it was so long ago.  "Thank you... I didn't think you'd remember..."

Now it was Catra's turn to blush. Adora's smile was truly beautiful. I...I wanna kiss her... Catra was surprised by the thought. She always had somewhat of a crush on Adora, but she was her best friend... she assumed it was just platonic...

Catra reached out and touched Adora's shoulders lightly. "Adora-you...you're...really pretty." Her hands trailed down her back and wrapped around her waist, making Adora shiver. Catra tilted her chin up, her thumb brushing Adora's lip before she leaned in and kissed her. Adora whimpered softly and wrapped her arms around Catra's neck. Catra's hands tangled in Adora's golden blonde hair and kissed her harder.

They would have kept kissing if those cords hadn't been there on the ground. 

"OOF!" They both tripped over the cords and fell to the ground in a heap. "Wow..." Adora face was full of wonder. "Get up, you dummy." Catra pulled her to her feet, picked up the lights, and they ran down the hallway, too breathless to talk about what had just happened.

"Well, here we are." Catra was astonished at how nice Adora made the storage closet look. Books that she had stolen from the older cadets, pillows and blankets she got from who knows where" They looked like they were from a cushy place like Brightmoon. It was absolutely beautiful.

Catra could feel her face warming just thinking about curling up next to Adora, her strong arms wrapped around Catra's waist...

  "Hey Catra, are you alright?" She snapped out of her fantasy and back into reality, which may have actually been better, because now she was standing in an incredibly cozy storage closet with the girl she just kissed. 

"Uh... I'm fine." She said faintly. "It's just... when did you have the time to do all of this?" Adora blushed sweetly. "Well, I started about a week ago, and I needed your help to put the lights up."

Catra caressed Adora's cheek. "of course I'll help you Adora." She pressed her against the wall gently. "cause that's what "best friends" do, isn't it?" "Y...yes..." Adora's heart was pounding in her chest, so loud she was sure Catra could hear it. She needed to be kissed again, now.

"Catra please kiss me..." She leaned in and kissed Adora softly. "Harder, Catra. I need you to kiss me harder." She grabbed Adora by her collar and bit her lip, careful not to draw blood. Adora pushed her tongue into Catra's mouth. cupping her face gently with her hands. 

"I love you, Catra..." Her eyes went wide and she stepped back. "You...You love me?" Adora smiled and wrapped her arms around Catra's waist. "Of course." Her face flushed and she whispered, "Do you love me too?" Catra grabbed Adora and pushed her down onto the pile of blankets and pillows.

"Of course, you idiot. Haven't you noticed?" She planted kisses all over Adora's face. "Aww, Catra! You do like me!" "Yeah Adora. I like you." She stroked Adora's hair lightly, and Adora kissed Catra's nose. 

"What about the lights?" Adora asked sleepily. "That can wait." Catra pulled the softest of the blankets over their bodies. "Right now I just want to stay here, with you."
