Still Learning

18

6 years later....

No POV

Catra's closed her art studio down fifteen minutes early, because today was an extremely important day. It had been 6 years since she technically started living with Adora and five years since Adora proposed to her. She knew Adora was gonna get sometype of big and meaningful gift. So Catra had to go bigger...

Catra had to add the final details to a large scrapbook she had been working on for months. It had almost every picture and memory Adora and her had together. Catra worked harder on that scrapbook then she'd like to admit. She would work on it secretly while her students were doing sometype of art project, she would come in early and stay late to make it was perfect. But it was finally ready...

"I hope Adora likes it as much as I do" Catra thought to herself.

Catra speeded home hoping she would get home before Adora. It about 30 minutes on the highway from Burlington to there small cottage in Waterbury. Unfortunately, she saw Adoras car in the driveway, So Catra tried to hide the scrapbook under her jacket. When she opened the door, Adora smiled and said "Catra, I got the job!!" Catra smiled and said "ahhhh, i'm so happy for you. You were able to teach me history when I was failing it. So i'm confident that you'll be able to teach 200 kids history everyday!!!"

As Catra was saying this, she tried to subtily put the scrapbook down. As she was doing this. Adora pointed out the huge scrapbook on the dinning room table and ask curiously "whats that??" Catra proudly presented it to her and said "its a scrapbook!!" Adora looked at the cover and saw that the picture was a selfie of them at the science museum. Adora was smiling at the camera, while Catra was rolling her eyes, but had an amused look on her face. Adora said reminiscently. "I remember most of that date perfectly, you pretended like you didn't like me that entire night." both of them laughed and Catra said "you know i've always been a terrible at hiding my feelings."

Adora smiled and laughed as she was flipping through the pages

Then Adora flipped back to the cover and noticed that Catra made the title of the scrapbook "Still Learning"
Adora asked "why'd you name it that??"

Catra replied and said "you know, I really don't know, I guess it was the first title that popped into my head..."  Catra was quiet for a minute, thinking about a reason for why she actually named it that. "Maybe I named it that cause you taught me, how to love myself...and how to love another person. And yet, your still teaching me more and more about love everyday, even after six years."

Adora, with tears in her eyes and said "Oh Catra... you taught me how to love myself, and not love the approval of everyone else....I don't know what i'd do without you."

"Agreed" Catra replied with tears in her eyes as well....

annnd thats a wrap folks:)))
Thank You so so much for all your love and support you guys have given me these past few years i've been writing this. I never expected this story to get as many reads as it did!! Even thought this fanfiction has come to an end, it doesn't mean i'll stop writing. I'll definitely write another fanfiction either with the she'ra characters or a whole other fanfiction with different characters from a different show or anime. Also if you guys have questions about Catra/Adoras lives I didn't make clear in the chapter. Just ask in the comments below.

as always, love you guys and stay safe❤️❤️❤️
