Hardships

Whipped and Pressured

*a month later*

Catra has been training herself and pushing herself harder than she ever has and its got Adora worried. "Catra, baby I think if you take a break once in a while, it'll be ok", Adora says as she gives Catra a water bottle. Catra shakes her head and says, "How can I? When my psycho ass brother is searching for me. What if he already has found me? I just put all of Etheria in danger".  Adora nods and says, "I understand that baby, I do. But you need to relax. You've been working yourself a bit too hard dont you think?".

Catra shakes her head and places the cup of water down and regains her boxing stance before she starts punching the dummy at a regulated pace. "Adora, I havent been working hard enough. Im not even sure how Im supposed to tap into Kaen's spirit. I bet Kade has already tapped into Kazari's spirit and mastered all that chakra shit". Adora sighs and sits down watching her girlfriend punch away at the dummy before saying, "Catra, I understand that. And dont you think you should at least try meditating? I read it in the papers about Kaen and Kazari. They controlled their chakra through meditation and connecting to their physical energy which you've done already but you need to tap into your spiritual energy".

Catra grunts and punches the dummy a little too hard, causing it to break off the chain and into the wall. "Fuck", Catra mutters before turning to Adora and saying, "Adora I dont think you really do understand this. I have to come face to face to my brother. The fucker that literally murdered my parents .Our parents. I then figure out he has these fancy shmancy fighting skills and shit and the only thing I can do is punch and deflect. And then I lost the only remotely useful thing I could do when I was chipped. How am I supposed to make sure what happened in Taron doesnt happen here?!". Adora's eyes softened and she stands up and puts a hand on Catra's shoulder and says, "Babe, you dont have to go through this alone ok? You have me. You have Bow and Glimmer and the princesses. We can do this together".

Catra nods and looks up at the pull up bar above her and jumps up, pulling herself up easily with one hand. "I know Adora, its just I know im worrying you.. but the pressure is insane. My brother already probably has years of practice. I didnt even know where I was from so how am I supposed to take him? What if im not strong enough and he kills somebody I love once again?". Adora waited till Catra jumped down from the pull up bar and wrapped her arms around Catra's neck smiling when Catra wrapped her arms around her waist.

"You have She-Ra as your girlfriend my love, it'll be ok alright? Just promise me something..".

"Anything baby".

"Promise me from now on you will take it easy with the training? You're working out morning till nightfall then back at it again until sun rise working out and im like 100% sure you barely sleep. Or eat. You're draining yourself. Take a break please"

"Ador-"

"Please for me baby, please I hate seeing you like this".

Catra sighs and says, "Ok". Adora raises a brow and says, "Ok, what?". Catra looks at Adora incredulously before saying, "Ok, I'll take a break from training". Adora sighs in relief and kisses her lips softly. Catra nibbled at Adora's bottom lip before pulling back and tugging Adora's lip gently before resting her forehead against Adora's. "You knows you're the only girl who has been able to tell me what to do?", Catra says with a small smile on her face.

"Oh am I?"

"Yep, you know Im no pushover especially with the ladies"

"Yeah and now I've got you whipped"

"I am not whipped!"

"Sure"

"Im not!"

"Uh huh"

"Adora..."

"Catra..."

"Im not whipped! I just love you alot and I would do anything for you. Theres a difference".

"Awhhhh you would? Thats so sweet baby"

"Yeah yeah, see now you're not calling me whipped"

"Oh no I am, but its still so sweet. Gimme kiss now"

Catra frowns when Adora closes her eyes and puckers her lips expecting a kiss. Catra smirks and puts her hand in Adora's face and pushed her back. Adora opens her eyes and gasps, "You did not!". Catra chuckles and shrugs.

"Maybe I did princess"

"You denied me a kiss"

"I did, because you called me whipped"

" and you just pushed me away with your sweaty ass fucking hands!".

"Hey, my hands arent that sweaty".

"Babe... your hands are literally sweatier than Bow when he works out. And you've seen how much he sweats".

"You did not just compare me to Bow's unmanageable sweaty ass".

"I did"

"Thats just plain disrespectful Adora"

"Ouch! Not baby anymore or princess?"

"Nope, its Adora because im offended"

" Fine Catra, play it like that"

"Fine Adora"

Adora turns away from Catra, a pout taking over her features as she crosses her arms over her chest. Catra only watched the girl amusedly, and tucks her hands in the pockets of her sweats. "Adora", Catra says in a sing-song voice. Adora only sighs deeply and doesnr answer. Catra smirked and knew the thing that would stop Adora giving her attitude. Catra walked up to the girl that had her back turned to her and wrapped her arms around her hips and brought her head in the space between Adora's shoulder blades.

"Adora~", Catra says huskily against her ear smirking when the girl pressed herself against Catra's front. Adora sighed when Catra kissed the pulse point of her neck. "Adora, look at me", Catra says smokily against Adora's neck. Adora felt as though her knees were about to let out and the sudden heat that she felt in the junction between her legs made her stomach do flips. Catra traces her fingers up and down Adora's sides before kissing the back of her ear and growling against her ear, "Im not going to ask you again. Look at me Adora".

Adora whimpered and whirled around, pressing a kiss against Catra's lips ferociously. Catra smirked against her lips and gripped onto the girl's hips and deepening the kiss when she traced her tongue against Adora's bottom lip begging for permission before she let her hands drop to Adora's ass, squeezing harshly making Adora let out a moan that was muffled by the kiss and gave Catra the chance to kiss her with tongue.

Their kiss grows heated and Catra lifts Adora up, making Adora's legs wrap around her waist immediately. Catra pins her against the wall and pulls back and says with a smirk, "I gotcha princess". Adora groans and says, "You're a meanie". Catra chuckles and kisses her lips softly and says, "Im sorry my love, but I dont like it when you give me the silent treatment". Adora grins and says, "I dont like it either,  but I like how aggressive you get sometimes". Catr quirks a brow and says, "Seriously?". Adora nods and kisses her cheek before pushing away a smug Catra with her palm to her face.

"Im going to catch up with Glimmer, you better head to the showers. I swear if Bow tells me you were working out Im taking away kissing and cuddling privileges", Adora says as she walks towards the door, her hips swaying flawlessly. Catra gulps and says, "O-Ok I'll meet up with you l-later". Adora looks back at Catra and says, "Ok baby, shower and meet us in Glimmer's room". Catra nods and Adora turned and walked out of the gym.

Wow, maybe I am whipped Catra thought as she packed up her stuff and headed towards the shower
