When our eyes met

Chapter XXX~ Goodbye

After the conversation they had with the governess Catra walked quickly to the bedroom where Adora was supposed to be. Adora though had fallen asleep once again, leaning on the back of the couch. An empty bottle in one hand and the twins cradled in her arms. She woke up when she heard the door open, groaning softly and blinking sleep out of her eyes. She yawned before she looked up at her, giving her a slight smile. The smile was still nervous but she tried to hide it "hey baby.. I got them fed, bathed and back to sleep.. Finally.."

The feline furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the bottle being empty. She walked closer only to take it and sniff it "What's this?" Her ears were up and her tail slowly wagged its tip. She was curious but still worried.

"It's some sort of, alternative baby food.. which I'm grateful for... they like to bite.. and their teeth are sharp" Adora smiled softly though, cradling them close then, looking down at their sleepy faces "I wouldn't trade them for the world though.. come here love.. I missed you" she looked back up at her and spoke with a soft tone.

The brunette nodded coyly and laid beside her. Her head rested on her chest, one arm wrapped around her torso "I missed you too... I'm sorry I got all aggressive... I just didn't want to hear that... I guess." She spoke in a soft tone in return, trying to talk through the problem just like how her governess told her. "But I'm fine now... Really..... Just tell me why you thought it would be fine to go with her?" She hummed, fingers slowly clinging on her "We're not the same... And you said you loved me and I know.. you wouldn't cheat on me.."

Adora leaned against her, though her smile faded when she heard what she was talking about. She looked away from her but she didn't pull away. "It's.. it's okay. I expected it.. I just... I don't know.. technically she is you.. y'know? I mean.. from a different reality.. so of course she will act a bit different.. she hasn't been through the same things we have.. done the same things we have.. that changes a person.. defines who they are.. she didn't grow up as a princess.. and I didn't grow up as a knight, not in that world. So of course we will be different. But.. at our core we are the same person.. The other Adora understands me.. to a point I'm not sure I entirely understand myself. And it is kinda scary.. but I think if you talked to the other you.. you would see just how similar the two of you are." She looked up at her, kissing her cheek and mumbling "I love you. I always will. And she is different. I know that. Even if not physically.. but... that's how I see it.. and I'm sorry I did that.. I know I should have talked to you.. shouldn't have done it at all... I just-.. I didn't think you wouldn't see it the way I see it now.. and I'm sorry for that"

Hearing her only made her want to talk more to her, Catra didn't care only about what she said now.. she wanted to talk as much as they did before all these events. Her eyes looked to the wooden beds of the children and took a soft breath "I just don't want to talk to her so much... I can see how different she is... How.. better than me she is. So happy most of the time that now I barely am... I'm happy when I'm around you but at the same time I feel there's an empty space between us.." She sighed and nuzzled close to her "I love you ..and I want us to talk again not.. hide. I want you to talk too... Not only me.."

Adora smiled softly then, looking up at her "my love.. you don't have to be happy all the time. After what we went through.. I wouldn't and couldn't expect that from you. I.. tend to try and just push my problems away. Ignore them because everyone else is more important than me but.. we all have our problems. We both need to work through this" She smiled then kissed her forehead "..and of course we can talk.. we can talk as much as you'd like, about whatever you'd like.. I love your voice anyway"

That last sentence made a soft chuckle escape Catra's lips and playfully pushed her with a 'stop it' in the middle of her move. She really had to be flirty even now. "I want to talk about.. about you... How you feel ... What do you want to do from now on or.. what we could do with the children... I don't want everything to be random.. I want us to talk more about even the problems"
