Chipped Adora

8: Love Is A Beautiful Thing

Catra's POV

"Catra, I like you."

What..? Glimmer likes me? Why and how?

I sit there, unsure of what to say. "W-What?" I ask. "I-I know, but I really like you Catra," Glimmer says.

"Glimmer..." I didn't want to hurt her. I have to admit, I do care for her. But only as a friend, nothing more. 

"You... You like me to, right?" Glimmer asks while grabbing my hand. "No, Glimmer... I think of you as a friend, not like that," I say while taking my hand out of her grasp.

"No, Catra! You have to like me, there's no way." Glimmer grabs my hand again, holding it tighter than the last time.

"Glimmer, I don't like you!" I say. "Catra, I know you do, don't be shy just tell me."

"I LIKE SOMEONE ELSE!" I yell. 

Glimmer looks at me, hurt in her eyes. She lets go of my hand and backs up. 

"F-Fine," she says. 

Glimmer walks off, not looking back.

Catra's POV

I watch Glimmer leave. How could she like me? Why? I hurt her so many times.

But then again, I just kissed Adora.

"Oh crap! Adora!" I say to myself as I run back to her room. I reach her room and I stop to catch my breath.

I open the door quietly and see her sleeping peacefully.

I walk over to the bed and look at her now short hair. I move a strand of hair out of her face. Her hair had already started to grow back, probably because she needed the hair to be She-ra.

I chuckle silently at the thought. But I wasn't silent enough.

Adora's eyes flutter open and her eyes widen. I never moved my hand from off her face. "Catra..?" She asks. I feel my face turning red and I immediately remove my hand and look away.

"What did Glimmer want?" Adora asks. I look back at Adora to see red across her cheeks as well. "She... Just wanted to ask me about the Horde," I reply. 

"Oh." Is the only thing Adora says. "You... Should probably get some rest, you're going to need it."

Adora nods and lays back down. I go to leave, but Adora grabbing my wrist stops me. Adora stays silent for a while. 

"Catra, can you... stay with me?"

***********************************************************************

Adora's POV

Why did I ask that? She's gonna say no, then I'm going to be so embarrassed!

"Of course, Adora." I look up at Carta, surprised. "You- You will?" I ask. "Of course I will, dummy," Catra replies.

I let go of her wrist. "Thank you," I whisper while smiling. "Lay down," she says.

I lay down and put the covers over top of me. I hear Catra's footsteps coming closer and she curls up at the foot of the bed.

"Catra," I groan. "You don't have to sleep down there." 

"Are you sure?" Catra asks. "Yes."

I hear Catra moving up towards me, and I see her lay beside me. She looks at me for a while.

Suddenly, she reaches a hand out and moves a strand of my hair out of my face. I continue to look at her, expecting her to retrieve her hand, but she never does. She lets her hand fall to the side of my face.

It's a small gesture, but it means a lot. Catra was never a fan of gentle touches, but here she was, giving me one.

She looks nervous, and worried. "Are you okay?" I ask her. Her eyes widen. "Am I okay? Adora, you got chipped by Horde Prime, you got controlled by Horde Prime and you're asking me  if I'm okay?" Catra laughs.

"You really are something, Adora," Catra says. Catra's hand was caressing my face, but it wasn't enough.

I moved closer to her, close enough to hug her, and I do. I wrap my arms around her torso, hugging her.

It takes her a second to react, but when she does, she doesn't push me away. She hugs me back and scratches my back gently.

My body still aches, but Catra's touch doesn't hurt, in fact it's soothing and reassuring.

I fall asleep in Catra's warm embrace.

***********************************************************************

Catra's POV

When I wake up, I see Adora is still sleeping. I look at her face. She's so peaceful when she's sleeping, her mouth opened slightly.

I smile to myself.

Suddenly, Adora starts shaking and hyperventilating. "Please... No..." I hear her whisper. "Adora?" I ask.

"Not Catra..." She continues whispering things about me, but only one sentence stands out from the others. 

"Don't hurt Catra, I love her."
