My Roommate is my Type? (Catradora Modern AU, SMUT heavy)

Chapter 20 : My Life is in my Hands (SMUT)

Adoras POV:

TW: Explicit sexual content

I was at home, on the couch with Catra, watching something I can't seem to focus on as I twirled my finger around her Hair and watched her Ears flick around, ever so slightly, whenever I brushed against them. Her smell that told of the shower she just came out of, her quiet purr and the noise of the City in the distance, formed into something that I came to associate with the feeling of "Home" but when did that happen? This Woman, a stranger I had only met very recently, had now become an intricate part of my life and a Person I couldn't imagine waking up without anymore and in such a small amount of time that it scared me from time to time. Not 2 months ago, I had a Boyfriend, thought I was straight and just "hadn't met the right one jet" as they always told me, went out to parties and social events without ever really wanting to but more out of a sense of obligation than actual fun that they all seemed to have so effortlessly... and not a day passed when I didn't ask myself if this had any meaning. Only now I realized that i had not asked myself that, even once, since she came into my life

"....suffer, Adora"

"Huh? What did you say?" I asked confused but Catra didn't turn to look at me

"...I love you too much...."

"Wh-what?" I thought I misheard her but when I am about to make her look at me my mother suddenly stood in front of the TV, slowly shaking her head

"Don't listen, Child... it will only hurt you in the long run"

"You... you have no right to tell me what's best for me anymore... your best for me made me hate myself" I muttered already knowing that arguing was meaningless when it came to my mother "You don't even know me...". As suddenly as she appeared, she was gone and my Girlfriend turned to face me

"Don't worry" Catra told me "She can't tell you who you can and can't be with... I will always be here for you"

With a heart meltingly cute smile, my dream ended and I couldn't remember when I last woke up this refreshed and content with everything... but why did it feel so real? I could have sworn that she said the words "I love you" but I couldn't tell if this was a dream or if it had actually happened and I was too embarrassed to bring it up with her. Truth be told, I needed the sleep a lot more than I had thought and I was grateful that she recognized when I was taking things too far, forcing me to go to bed for some r&r

This weird dream became the catalyst, a turning point in my life that caused me to change my behavior towards a few people in my life. I started to be more open with Catra, no longer feeling shame when I took her hand into mine while we were outside or who would see it. I called Glimmer and Bow more often, meeting up with them for some fun becuse I felt that I had neglected them a bit after all the stress I had been under. Catra wasn't a big fan of hanging out with them but could tolerate them because they were my friends. I also ignored my Mothers calls more often, naming "School work" as an excuse when she asked about it

In order to make it up to Catra and to apologize for my little outburst last week, I had prepared a little surprise the week after I had my final talk with Dr Fazal and knew that I was, at least for now, above the grades average. Law students are graded on a steep curve and anything below a B+ is basically a failed grade, which the talk with the professor weights into so the pressure is high and the competition can be ruthless

Catra was about to come home from work and I had prepared Dinner, low candle light, nice music, the works and I was just about to put on the finishing touch when my Phone rang, showing moms caller ID dw"Yeah?"
