What Happens When Another Princess Comes Into The Picture?

A Story to tell

Two weeks after the battle of Bright Moon you were all still healing from the injuries that stupid thing caused

You glanced over at Catra who was staring out the window, her hands tucked over her knees. Your lips moved upwards as you watched her tail swing back and forth, her ears twitching slightly as it felt all too familiar

It was nighttime already. Catra was staying in the castle since she had proven herself or something, at least that's what the others told you

And she stayed mainly in your room and with Adora. She didn't want to admit that she had nightmares, one night she just barged in without saying a word and asked if she could stay for the night

You haven't talked much since

"I can feel you staring at me" She turned around to glare at you and you just shrugged

"What can I say, you look good when you are distracted"

She rolled her eyes and turned away to try and hide her now blushing face. You shook your head and took a pen from the table, writing down notes for the next general meeting you were gonna have with the princesses

"What are you writing?"

You didn't look up at the fella as she jumped down on the bed and tried to peek in over your shoulder. You narrowed your eyes at Catra and she just smirked

"Notes? Really?"

You rolled your eyes "Catra that's none of your business"

She snored and poked your shoulder playfully "What? We aren't friends anymore?"

You averted your eyes from her, not really knowing how to answer. Were you? "I mean...I guess not? But maybe we are now that you are here?" You groaned loudly as your back hit the pillows and stared motionlessly at the ceiling "I don't know, you know I'm not good with feelings and shit!"

Catra laughed, probably at your expression and narrowed her eyes, no malice hidden beneath them this time "I know, that's why we have Adora"

"She isn't good with it either"

She snored "True"

You looked down at your hands as you played with the hem of your shirt and frowned "What are we even gonna do now?"

"Meaning?"

That I don't know how I feel about you? About Adora? How these feeling are confusing me every damn time I try to get trough them?

"Well..." You pursed your lips and shook your head, chasing the sudden thoughts away "Are things gonna go back like they used tho?"

She raised her eyebrows and trew her hands up "Ya think?!"

"Damn no need to be this harsh" You whispered and looked away at the table

Her expression softened slightly and she sighed, scooting a bit closer to you so your knees were touching "Look, we all just need some time ok? I know you suck with dealing with things so I will leave you alone but just...I need some time too. To think"

You tilted your head to the side and stared in her eyes, not really knowing if you should believe her but there wasn't any hint of dishonesty or mistrust. She was telling the truth for once

You smiled, just slightly so Catra could notice "Ok"

(Time skip)

You looked over at a really anxious Adora as the fifth meeting this week was taking place

You told them at the begining of the week about the whole encounter with your mother and since then the place had been going like crazy

Everyone was still on edge, wanting to admit it or not, so Perfuma was practically forcing some of her friends to go meditate with her like Netossa, Bow, Scorpia and Adora on daily morning meditation
