When our eyes met

Chapter IV: A lucky Charm

When the ball was reaching its end, Glimmer finally found the blonde woman who was still thinking about that kiss. Especially the cold feeling on her chest when she saw Catra's mother staring at her was something she could not forget easily. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, tapping her finger on her lips while sitting on a small couch in the room. Her hair was now in a low ponytail and her breathing was steady until the princess of BrightMoon jumped beside her. Bow was following her with a glass of wine in his hand as his eyes scanned the blonde warrior. "You look... tired? What happened?" He asked casually and stretched. 

Glimmer though could tell that the look on her face a few seconds ago was one of someone who was kissed by their crush even though now Adora seemed more serious than before. Glimmer was already tired of trying to bring some sense into her, she would leave soon as well to go to her chamber "Did you kiss her?" She tried to sound more calm even though she was too disappointed to hide it. Adora just gave her a nervous smile, looking away and scratching the back of her neck "I mean she leaned in first... And we were both sober.... Though I think her mother saw us dancing out there..." She cleared her throat "So I may be in trouble here but we'll see how this goes'' She took a big drink out of her glass and exhaled deeply "after this I'm heading to my room. I need to sleep if I'm going to be fighting tomorrow. And don't worry, this is only my third glass, within an hour or so between this one and the last one. I'm not drunk, not even really buzzed" Adora laid her head back as Bow almost cheered in excitement. He didn't find it wrong, though he knew that it was truly risky to be in a relationship with that girl. "You are so stupid..... Why didn't you pull away? This is too. dangerous. Adora..!" Glimmer huffed and held her hand, she was worried, too worried to say the least. "These people are dangerous, you can't risk it. What if she's on to something?What if they both are after you?" She looked up at her and gave her a concerned look. How could the warrior be so mindless to go straight into danger? "Adora.....Glimmer is right, we have to be careful..... especially now that they live several steps away from here.." The knight took a sharp breath only to grunt in disbelief. "Glimmer it was only a kiss! And barely even that!" Irritated again, she pulled her hand away, looking at her for a moment before finishing her drink "I'm going to bed..." She walked away then, excusing herself from the ballroom quietly. Why to stay in a place where nobody would understand that she saw something in that girl. She saw her worry, she saw disappointment in her eyes and she knew that she could change it.... Glimmer didn't understand all though, she wouldn't understand. The princess couldn't believe it, after all that she told her that she was still getting mad at her. She didn't insist for Adora to stay though, if she wanted to leave she would.

At the same time, the princess and the queen of Horde arrived at their chambers. Catra was getting some help from her maid to take off her dress and her corset as well before getting ready for her bath. Thankfully, she was all alone in the room. Light Spinner didn't stay with her since she already had her own room for these days. The maid was already preparing the feline's bath and soon enough she would relax in her tub with closed eyes. She didn't like the whole plan of her mother ..she wanted to somehow be able to prepare the blonde one so she could have her eyes open but...she was a knight she...didn't have to have a warning, right? She knew how to protect herself, right? For a second she touched her lips, they were so close in that last moment but why didn't she make that move..? The thought of Shera getting hurt because of her made her sick. Her eyes opened, touching with her hand some of the soap in the tub and taking a deep breath. She couldn't stop thinking about her...neither could Adora. For her own sake, the warrior let down her hair when she entered the room practically marching through the halls of the main castle to her temporary room. She pulled her mask off and let out a sigh as she rubbed her nose and eyes for a moment. She felt dizzy but that was maybe because of the sleepiness due to the drinks. After getting inside her room, she stripped, though she changed immediately into some sleepwear. Knowing she would dream of Catra tonight would only make her smile as she laid down after making sure the door was closed. The difficult previous days..the argument with Glimmer, everything seemed to be going so wrong but at the same time so good with Catra being around.
