You're Just a Dumb Jock

Catra POV:

I was fuming.  Here I was in butt nowhere in the Whispering Woods for hours feeling bad for myself.  And of course she follows me.

I quickly wipe away my tears, so Adora can't see although I'm pretty sure she already did.

Shit.

I crossed my arms and looked away. "What are you doing here?"  The venom in my voice was almost unbearable.

She flinched at my tone.  Adora's hair was a mess, and she looked crazy.

"Catra I- I came to find you."

I rolled my eyes.  "Wow no shit, Adora."

She looked away and fiddled with her fingers.  I wanted to reach out and comfort her.

But all I do is hurt her.

Almost as if she heard my thoughts Adora looked me in the eye.  Her eyes were watery.

"Glimmer's wrong you know.  I know we have our past and that we have hurt each other, but you're not a bad person Catra."

I scoffed. "Not a bad person?  I've tried to kill you countless of times, I scared your back, and I've hurt so many being in the Horde.  You're delusional if you think I'm good."

Adora's eyes were blazing as she grabbed my hand.  "Catra you're no walk in the park.  You're sassy, rude, and sometimes a bit selfish-"

I chuckled.  "Thanks for the compliments, Adora."

She moved closer.  My cheeks started to flush.  Damn her. "Listen, Catra.  You aren't perfect, but you are a good person.  I know so.  You turned your back on the Horde because you knew what they were doing was wrong.  You protected me in the Horde, and no matter how terrible Shadow Weaver was you did have some pity for her."

She's not wrong about that.  She took a deep breath.

"Catra there's so much more good than there is bad in you.  You're so strong that I can't even fathom how you had the courage to endure through Shadow Weaver's abuse.  And you're so smart.  I know you call me a dumb jock, but you are so clever.  You're fast, you're brave, you're caring when you want to be, and you're so beautiful."

I shifted uncomfortably because my cheeks were so red that I had to turn away.  "Adora-I"

Adora moves even closer to me, and I went rigid as she grabbed both of my hands forcing me to look at her.

"Catra please.  Don't turn away from me.  You need to hear this.  You are a good person.  Join the Rebellion.  And join me."

I looked at her trying to muster up some of my cool that was long gone.  She's so close; I can't even think.  My voice trembled at bit.

"Why should I, Adora?  I could disappear into these woods, and it wouldn't make a difference."

She laughed. "You know for being so smart, you can be so dumb."

I smirked and rolled my eyes. "Whatever dumb jock."

She smiled, and it made her look like a princess even though her gold hair was tangled and a bit in her face.  She looked as if she glowed.  Adora's so pretty.

She saw me studying her and demurely blushed.  A couple of seconds passed.

"Join me.  Please.  The Rebellion needs you.  I need you. I-"

No matter how hard I try, I can't get away from her.  She is what keeps me going.  I could disappear into these woods or go back to the Horde.  But do what?  Be miserable?  I would only have one thing one my mind.

Being without her is unbearable.  Ugh I HATE feelings. 

Adora took her hands away and looked down.  She looked- scared.

"Adora?"

Her ocean eyes bore into my soul.  She cupped my face in her hands and leaned in...

Her lips brushed mine and sparks exploded in me.  I was surprised but quickly kissed her back.

I was a bit disappointed when she pulled away.

I must of looked like an idiot.  Because she tilted her head and grinned.

I grinned back and took her hand. 

We started to walk back to Brigthmoon.  I don't care if I have to live in a perfect palace, deal with everyone giving me dirty looked and even hating me.  As long as I'm with her.

I need her.

I think I'm in love with her.
