its not like i like you

the red string of fate

"do I have no chance?" she asks her

"what the hell- you really are oblivious as you look" scorpia mumbles

"anyways what I'm trying to say is that you are probably the only one that has a chance, not lonnie"

"huh?"

"adora make sure lonnie never hurts her again, I would try but she'd only listen to you, at least that's what I hope"

adora is taken back by her words.

though she simply returned to her dorm after spending time with glimmer and bow, is this what college is supposed to be like? she thought sighing

as she entered she could already sense catras presence like it was natural for her to do so.

she was studying at her desk, adora watched quietly,

adora never saw her as the study type, it was her first time seeing her so focused, it fascinated her.

she watched the brunettes every move carefully, the way she would adjust her glasses, the way she'd gently flip the page, her eyes scanning intensely

they were such simple movements but made the blonde felt intrigued, it's what liking someone does to you after all

she knocked at her door

catra perks her head up, she knew exactly who it was, she slowly glanced over

"adora? do you need something? If not then can you-"

"I want to talk catra"

catra sighs, she couldn't ever say no to her and she knew that herself.

"come in then"

adora sat on her bed still not taking her eyes off her, catra took off her glasses and brushed her hair back and sat back comfortably on her chair, her legs being a bit open

for someone who's such a bottom, her looks did not show it adora thought laughing to herself

"look I'm sorry for leaving like that"

"uh huh, why'd you leave in the first place?" she asks playing with her glasses

"I only left because I felt so out of place, I don't know, I wanted to be away from lonnie, I never wanted to leave you" adora rubs her arm in shame

catras expression softens, her eyes widened making sure to never take it off the girl

jealousy? catra thought, the very idea of adora being jealous had made catra feel extremely giddy

"that's why I said you should trust me more, I feel like I don't know a lot sometimes"

catra looked down in guilt, would you still accept me if you really knew me? she thought

"fine fine, I understand" she blushes looking away from her

"thank you" adora smiles softly, she would never understand the effect it had on catra
