Adora lied on the floor of the room, staring up into the space just past the window on the ceiling. Her hands lied on her abdomen, her thumbs pinching together rather anxiously. Her eyes glowed watching the darkness, but they also seemed distracted. Nevertheless, Glimmer couldn't help herself from smiling when finding her this way.

Hoping not to startle Adora, Glimmer stepped lightly over to her. Once near enough to catch Adora's attention, Adora looked over for a brief moment to shoot a quick smile before returning her gaze to the stars. Glimmer sat beside her, deciding to watch whatever it was Adora was watching; when she saw the beautiful mix of blue and purple swirling in the black of outer space, she felt overwhelmed by the sight - too overwhelmed to only be sitting, that is. In hopes of shaking off this feeling of overwhelming, Glimmer lied back, now parallel to Adora.

Their silence was short lived. Adora was the first to speak, Glimmer turning her head to look at her, "Light Hope told me about the stars. How Etheria was in a separate dimension, or something. Madame Razz even mentioned them once. I never thought they'd be this... breathtaking," she sighed, "It's so beautiful."

Though Glimmer listened, something else occupied her mind - someone. Adora. How she kept that dumb poof on the front of her hair. How her dark brows softened at the sight of the galaxy. How the stars shone in her blue eyes, reflecting almost perfectly in her pupils. How her cute nose curved at the tip. The tiny, easily missable freckles spreading from cheek to cheek like the sea of stars above them. How soft her lips looked. Glimmer looked upon the magnificence of Adora, whose beauty would make the brightest star seem dull by comparison.

Adora's brows suddenly furrowed for a split second, immediately returning to her resting face afterwards. Glimmer felt herself frown, worried about what may be bothering Adora. The answer was obvious, of course... "Catra?"

Adora nodded slowly. "I have no idea what I'm doing."

"Do you ever?" Glimmer teased, smirking. Adora smiled and, much like when her brows furrowed, she quickly returned to her resting face. "Improvising is kind of our thing."

"I know," said Adora. "I just hope this isn't gonna turn out to be a mistake."

"Well," Glimmer started, looking back up through the window, "mistake or not... I'm with you. 'Sides, if it weren't for you saving her, I would've never gotten the chance to thank her for... yeah. So..." A thought came to Glimmer's mind; she turned to look at Adora. "I never said thank you..."

"What?" Asked Adora as she tore her eyes from the window to look into Glimmer's lilac ones.

"Sorry, it just... I just realized I never thanked you for saving me..."

Adora only smiled, "Don't sweat it. A lot was happening and pretty fast."

"True, but I still owe you."

Adora's smile became a grin as she shook her head, "You really don't." Adora turned her body to lay on her side to fully face Glimmer, "Anyone'd do it."

"Definitely not anyone," Glimmer shot back, also turning onto her side. "I basically brought doom to us and you still thought I was worth saving. No one's like that - like you. You save people whether they deserve it or not. You're my-" Glimmer stopped herself before she could embarrass herself with the upcoming word. Hero. "A true hero."

Adora's smile had vanished. Glimmer's heart stopped, wondering if she had said something wrong. This wasn't a face of sadness or anger, however, but one of shock and surprise. Her lips had lowered slightly on her face as her eyes grew wide, her eyebrows rising... and... was she blushing...?
