[ Catra comes barreling into Adora's room and practically tackles her to smother her in kisses and affection and big squirming pile of purring Catra cuddles. ]
[ Adora sighs and flops her head back onto the pillow with a slight frown. ]
Complicated? I want you, you know? I want to hug you and kiss you and just have you around, forever. But I also want people to know how great you are. And... [ She squeezes Catra's hands. again. ]
...I also feel like I'd be OK, if you wanted to love other people. Because I definitely do. Not as much as I love you, but - Glimmer is really important to me. Bow is really important to me. Maybe not in quite the same way, but...
[ Catra nods. Adora had a lot of love in her heart and while Catra still felt unsure, sometimes, about how much she ranked there it was better than it had been. When your love saves the world, it helps make you feel a bit more secure. ]
I get it. And I mean--I care about her. Not the same way I love you, but--she's nice. I want to make her happy. She seems so serious and sad sometimes. Sometimes I think she reminds me a lot of myself.
[ She bends forward again and kisses Adora. It's gentle and chaste, adoring. ]
I just want to make sure that I'm not going to hurt you by doing something you don't want me to do. Because you're first, for me. Always.

4/4 okay
no subject
[ At least she mutes her communicator so not everyone has to listen to them making out for a few seconds. ]
Hey! Hey-! [ She wraps Catra up in a giant hug. ]
no subject
I was worried about you.
[ A mumble. ]
no subject
[ She squeezes back. For the first time in a long time, things make sense. Even if she's on the rig. ]
I was worried about you, too, you know.
no subject
[ She lets out a low sigh and closes her eyes. Everything, at least for this brief moment, is okay in the world. ]
Just glad we're back on the same page.
no subject
[ She groans and rests her head against Catra's. Tries to breathe out. ]
...still, makes being stuck here seem really terrible.
no subject
Yeah. I want that road trip I was promised.
no subject
[ She sighs and buries her face against Catra's hair. ]
...I wish things were different, though.
no subject
[ Catra asks, still clinging to Adora. ]
no subject
[ Adora purses her lips. ]
We should be home - but - I don't think I'd be happy, just leaving everyone else here.
no subject
[ She sighs and drops her head onto Adora's shoulder. ]
So now we start working on what to do next, I guess.
no subject
[ She sighs. ]
Even if we definitely deserve a vacation.
no subject
[ Catra sighs and closes her eyes. Nuzzles up against Adora's cheek. ]
...I know you like, just got back, but...
[ She shifts her weight a little awkwardly. ]
...How are you feeling? About everything here?
no subject
[ She rubs a little circle against Catra's back. ]
About... us?
no subject
[ Their relationship. Catra feels awkward still after the argument that seems so recent. ]
That stuff.
no subject
[ She shifts her weight a little and sprawls back on the bed, staring up at Catra. ]
Because... I want to be in a relationship with you. I know that. And I don't want to leave you behind.
no subject
[ Catra keeps herself propped up, moves to sit astride Adora's midsection the way she's always done since they were kids. ]
Not that I'd let you leave me behind. Where you go, I go. No matter what.
[ Fingers interlace with Adora's and squeeze tight. She's not going to let go if she can help it. Not now, not ever. ]
Then there's the whole. Tenten thing.
no subject
[ Her brow furrows and she squeezes Catra's hands in reply. She has to think about that for a long, long moment. ]
...how do you feel about that now? She did ask you. Or... talk to you, I guess.
no subject
[ Catra shrugs, her tail flicking slowly in a little arc as she tries to focus thoughts into words. ]
No. Not since you two had that whole argument a while back. I mean we've talked but not about that stuff specifically, right?
[ She shifts her weight slightly, comforted by the warm, firm reality of Adora touching her. It feels grounded. Real. ]
I still like her. That never changed. How do you feel about her? Or about the whole thing?
no subject
I mean - I like her. I think she's nice. [ She purses her lips. ]
I don't know if I love her. But... [ She glances at Catra's face. ]
I trust you.
no subject
I know you trust me. I just...
[ She frowns. Trying to make her words do what she wants them to do. ]
What do you want, Adora?
no subject
[ Adora sighs and flops her head back onto the pillow with a slight frown. ]
Complicated? I want you, you know? I want to hug you and kiss you and just have you around, forever. But I also want people to know how great you are. And... [ She squeezes Catra's hands. again. ]
...I also feel like I'd be OK, if you wanted to love other people. Because I definitely do. Not as much as I love you, but - Glimmer is really important to me. Bow is really important to me. Maybe not in quite the same way, but...

no subject
You won't. And if I ever do feel hurt... well. I'll tell you. Or try. I'm not the best at that whole thing yet.
[ She sighs. ]
...not where I imagined us spending our time after kicking Horde Prime's ass.
no subject
[ Kiss! Kiss! That gives her all the answer she needs, Adora. ]
And maybe kick Jorgmund's butt a little.
no subject
no subject
[ Catra cuddles up a little closer. Smiles. ]
But we can work on that later. Right now... right now I just want to be close to you.
no subject
[ Adora groans. ]
We can... take five minutes before we start worrying about everything exploding again.
no subject
[ And with that Catra leans down to give Adora another kiss. How lucky to have a door that closes properly now, even if it doesn't lock! ]
no subject
no subject
They've had an entire year without her. The big saving the universe kiss and now a road trip? How did she compete with any of that now?
She'll have to think on it. Still. A response would be expected.]
You've been here, as best as I can tell. Except it looks like you went home and came back.
I don't think 'welcome back' is quite what you want to hear now.
no subject
[ There's an awkward laugh. ]
The way time works - it's weird. I'm still kind of processing.
Voice
voice;
[ UGH. ]
Re: voice;
[There's a snorting noise over the line that doesn't sound like it came from anything human.]
And that would be Toothless. How about you?
no subject
Whatever, you know what I mean-
[ Blink blink. ]
Toothless? Uh - I'm Adora!
