Hardships

On The Road

Catra's POV:

I felt a hand running through my hair and open my eyes slowly. I look around before jumping up from where I was sitting and yelling, " WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!". I felt hands on my shoulders and I whirl my head around to be met with Adora, her cerulean eyes blue. "Baby... baby, calm down ok?", Adora says softly running her hands up and down my arms as I sat down slowly.

I sighed as Adora pulled me into her chest, wrapping her arms around my back and whispering calming words into my hair. I pull back with a raised brow and ask, "S-So how long have I been asleep?". Adora chuckles softly and says, "A day, Huj really knocked you". I nod and rub my head almost self-consciously.

Adora leans forward pressing a kiss to my lips before pulling back and saying, "Welcome back my love". I smile and say, "Thank you baby, where are Bow and Sparkles?".

"Sup Fucker!", Bow yells scaring the shit out of me. I put a hand on my chest and yell, " FUCK YOU!". Glimmer, Bow, and Adora burst into laughter as I crossed my arms over my chest and frowned. "Hey, the kitten is awake", Glimmer snarks. I growl and look over her seat and bark, " IM NOT A KITTEN!". Adora chuckles and grabs my bicep gently and pulls me back, "Calm down babe".

I huff and sit against her chest, my arms crossed over my chest as she wrapped her arm around my torso. My tail wrapped itself around Adora's right leg as her finger ran up and down my spine.

"Catra, since we wont get to the Kingdom of Poleses for a couple of days do you mind entertaining us?", Bow asks curiously. I quirk up a brow and sit up straight, switching my position against Adora so that she was tucked to my side, my arm wrapped around her waist as she laid her head on my shoulder. I smiled down at her before placing a kiss on her forehead before looking up at Bow through the mirror in the middle of where the front seat and passenger seat was, seeing his eyes looking at me.

"How do you mean entertain Bow-man?", I ask with a quirked brow.  Bow chuckles and says slyly, "Well the radio on this baby is fucked... so we need some source of music and you have the best voice in this car... soooo can you sing for us". I groan and ask, "What genre do you guys wanna hear?". Glimmer chuckles evilly and says, " Lovey-Dovey. The type of shit you would sing to Adora".

I groan and ask exasperatedly, "Why?!". Bow chortles and says, "Because, We wanna see how cheesy you can get my dear friend". I roll my eyes and sigh looking down at Adora who was looking at me curiously. "Yeah, I do wanna see how cheesy you can get", Adora says a cheeky smile playing across her perfect, velvet lips. I felt my cheeks turning red and crossed my arms, looking away from her and muttering, "Fine, whatever".

Adora sat up straight and asked, "What was Catra? I couldnt hear you". I growl and say a little louder, "Fine, I guess". Bow lets out a whoop, as Glimmer claps her hand in celebration. "Ok stud, so there should be a guitar behind you in the trunk. Oh and we're all going to take turns singing so your little attitude clears up", Bow says. I roll my eyes knowing his ass was smirking like the annoying little fucker he is.

I reach behind my seat, and look around the empty space behind me to see a medium sized brown guitar, gold strings and knobs. I check to see if its tuned and look at Adora who was sitting up straight, smiling with her hands in her hand. I clear my throat and start strumming the golden strings of the guitar looking into my favorite blue eyes and sung timidly, " There are days, I wake up and I pinch myself. You're with me, not someone else". Adora's eyes widened as she looked at me in awe, her hand meeting my thigh encouragingly.

I smiled and sung more confidently, " And I am scared, yeah, I'm still scared, That it's all a dream. Because  you still look perfect as days go by. Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time". I started tapping my thumb against the wood of the guitar after each time I strummed downwards creating a soft rhythm to go along with the meaningful lyrics coming out of my mouth, " 'Cause when you love someone, You open up your heart. When you love someone, You make room", I pause to make sure she was listening to every word. Each word thats coming out of my mouth is completely true. I want her to know this.
