It's you I like

Silently, sore and defeated, Adora walked in her house.
She looked around the livingroom and found Catra drunk and asleep on the sofa.

I mean, she had to be drunk by now, the bottle was empty.

When she slept, the brunette looked so much like her gatita, like the girl who curled up in Adora's bed in the middle of the night, the bold girl who would have fought anybody and faced anything, who would never buy bullshit from anybody.
She also looked like the girl who lightly snored against her neck, her naked body pressed to her own in the quite of the dawn.

But Adora had no right to think about that Catra.

With a sigh, the blonde went in their room and got her pajamas, then closed herself in the bathroom and enjoyed a long shower.

Refreshed, but without any hunger, she drank half a bottle of water and sat on the couch, next to the sleeping figure.

What would she do when Catra wakes up and her angelic, relax face will be replaced by a grimace?
How would she feel about her?
They had jumped forward and retreated so much in the last few days...

Yet, when the sleeping beauty felt the presence next to her, she moaned a little lament, opened her blu eye, and moved from her position to curl up on Adora's side, nuzzling in her with a satisfied sigh, a little smile...and she was sleeping soundly again.

The blonde was so confused and fascinated by this woman.

Adora shifted them to hug her closer and stroke the brunette locks, which only made the girl snore ever so cutely.
It was so comforting and relaxing to just cuddle like that, napping together.
It made her feel stronger, like she could face anything and do everything if this was her reward.
And all the anger, all the guilt, all the poison of the pain, melt away on the spot...and Adora fell asleep like a baby.

When they woke up, it seemed like those days had been wiped away.

The dynamic of their friendship was the same as the previous week, nobody brought up the drinking problems of the one and the hero complex of the other.

A silent deal had been sailed, apparently, and to do anything good, the blonde had to play along for a bit.

They prepared dinner, ate together, cleaned together, watched cartoons and went to bed - separate beds.
The following morning Adora left for the academy, as she had no reason to be disturbed anymore.
The following noon Catra woke up too and called Scorpia to workout together.
