TW: EXPLICIT Sexual content, Long Chapter
Adoras POV:
Waking up I immediately notice that Catra is not beside me. After I get up, I am about to go look for her when I see her sitting on the Windowsill, not moving a muscle. I walk over slowly and lean my arms on the empty space beside her, noticing only now that it was nighttime. Our big "Battle" with Prime was happening quite uncharacteristically in the middle of the day so now it was about 11 in the evening. "Hey" i whisper
"hmm" Catra answers, not looking at me. Silence soon follows and in the back of my Mind there are a lot of things fighting for attention. We need to get back to Campus before they literally kick us out, i need to explain everything to mom, Catra still has that promise with DT about the drama they planed (though i'm sure right now neither remember that), we need to clean our Dorm Room that has now not been in use in weeks...our Lives are a mess right now but for Catra i knew exactly why she was about to shut down and i'm not willing to watch it happen
"So....how do you feel?" i ask her
"Im...fine"
"Are you?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because you just lost the one Goal you had in life?"
Finally she looks at me with a mix of surprise and admiration "how...how would you know that?"
"Who has been with you this whole time? You woke up every day, dreaming that today would come....but not that it's actually here ....you feel lost. No more need for plans, no more need to carry a Gun, no more running, no more hiding a Duffel Bag with fake Papers under the floor of our Closet...you may have been forced to life like this but you actually gotten too used to it....or too good at it
Catra nods slightly and then shows me a weak smile "As expected of Adora...the one that understands me"
"The one that wants to understand you, help you and show you that you only need to find a new Goal"
"Ohh no i already got that so that's not the issue...im just not sure how i can make all i want happen....or rather if i even deserve the happiness i saw back then"
"Hä?" i say, not expecting this part
Catra starts to tell me about her dream she had about the Future she saw. In vivid detail she paints a Picture before my mind's eye of a beautiful Home.
"Wait...you want us to adopt Li?"
"Ye....no....Not right now ...but Miho already told me that Li mentions me a ton and i...i feel a connection with the little one" Catra says, becoming visibly nervous "I know that right now, would never work. I have a Career i want to get into, want to actually enjoy my freedom...especially with you, need to deal with DT's plans and somehow plan a Wedding...tho that can wait, if you ask me"
"I mean i don't care when it happens to be honest...tho i always liked the "got married straight out of College" cliché, you know? It's not like i need anything big"
"Hahah well, if you wanna marry 'straight', i can't help you there. Hmm maybe we can do that but even then, we got years to plan that"
"Haha, okay Fair...as for DT, that will take a looooong time, which will cut into our 'us' time a lot i'm afraid"
"I figured as much but don't worry" Catra turns to me so that her Legs hang at my side and slings her Arms around my neck "i'd wait for eternity as long as i can be with you"
My Heart melts, hearing her say that "uhh cheesy Catra is rare...all i want is for you to be happy"
I kiss her, hearing a light giggle while doing so and look up to see Catra with a smile i would never forget in my Life. No Mask, no snark, no hiding any pain....pure joy lights up every muscle and i never seen anything more beautiful.
