Connection ~ (Highschool AU - Catradora)

Chapter 39

Catra's POV

About a month has passed since the incident with Shadow Weaver, and I still think about it every day. Every time I wake up, I think that she told Adora something. Even if Adora gets annoyed with me at things, I think it's because of Shadow Weaver.

"Hey, what's gotten you so stressed?" Adora asked, brushing my cheek with her caring fingertips. 

I gave a shy smile, and brushed her hand away, "Nothing, just thinking about school and..you know other stuff?"

"A penny for your thoughts?" Adora mumbled, looking down at Melog who was sniffing her foot. 

Today we were at my apartment, though we pretty much live at Adora's because she has the bigger house. But it's nice to stop by my house once and a while to chill. Adora said she wanted to do that stargazing thing we did that one time on the roof. 

I got up and sighed, "I promise, It's nothing. Come on, Melog. Let's get your treats".

Adora let out an annoyed sigh but didn't push the matter. I felt bad, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her the situation at hand.

Melog followed close behind, meowing their way to the food bowl as I grabbed their favorite kibble. I poured it into the bowl as I mumbled things to myself.

Melog leaned down to eat their food. I watched them curiously, petting behind their ears. "You've gotten pretty big, haven't you?"

No answer, just them greedily taking the food into their mouth. 

"Alright, spoiled kitty" I teased, walking back over to the table to see Adora deep in thought. Well...I couldn't tell if she was deep in thought. She seemed to be thinking about something, it was almost as If I could hear her thinking.

"Hey, you're thinking pretty loud" I spoke.

A small smile played on her lips, "Why don't we take a trip somewhere"

~~~~~~~~

"Adora! Catra! You have come to visit again" Madame Razz said. My ears twitched at the sudden volume of her voice. 

We were back at the small hut that was near the boardwalks of the beach, that almost led into the forbidden woods. 

"Yup!" Adora replied. 

I tugged at Adora's hand, "Remind me why we're here"

"I thought..that since you have been on edge a bit lately. Maybe we could ask Madam Razz for help" She explained.

My eyebrows raised, "What do you mean?"

"I just want to help you okay, just trust me with this.." She protested.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. I couldn't exactly say no to her, so might as well get this over with. 

"Fine, but we're getting ice cream"

~~~~~~

Adora and I settled ourselves down onto a few pillows as we both watched Razz make us some tea. 

"Here you go" She smiled, sitting herself down and putting 2 teas in front of us.

Adora went to grab it and take a sip from it but I stopped her.

"You promise this isn't..your funny juice right?" I said, making sure that I didn't have to deal with another drunk Adora.

Razz chuckled and waved her hands, "Of course not, I made sure this time"
