Sisters? (Catradora)

Chapter 2: Goodnight I Guess?

(Adora)

    Adora was at home, laying down in her twin sized bed. She was playing a new game on her phone just to pass the time. Some crazy choice game called Episode. She always played as a girl but usually fell for the "edgy girl" romantic interest in the stories. She didn't really think anything of it, she wasn't gay but it was just a game after all. Speaking of edgy girls, where was Catra? She hadn't driven home from school with Adora from school but she had assumed that's just because Catra didn't want to be anywhere near her. It was about eight at night now though, she should have been home hours ago. Maybe she made friends? Mrs. Razz was still sleeping; she must have stayed up until sometime this afternoon. Adora decided she was going to check the house really quick and just make sure Catra hadn't just slipped in without noticing. Just as she walked to the top of the stairs, the Neko girl appeared in the front doorway trying to open the door as quietly as possible. She probably would have never been noticed but Adora happened to be staring right at the door when she came in.

    "Hi Catra." Adora spoke with a smirk, knowing she'd caught the girl red handed trying to sneak in. The Neko girl simply postured straight up and with a sultry voice replied

    "Hey Adora." These words made Adoras stomach turn to knots. She felt her heart stop for a second. What the hell was that? Before Adora could regain her composure, Catra was already brushing past her at the top of the staircase. The Neko girl walked into Adoras room and dropped her backpack down on the couch. She started pulling out clothes that almost looked brand new. Wait these still had the tags on them. She must have gone to the little strip mall in town. These clothes were kinda expense, did Mrs. Razz give her a little allowance to buy new things with? Probably.

    "How much did mom give you?" Adora asked before returning to her sitting position on the bed.

    "What?" Catra glanced over genuinely confused. Holy shit, she stole all of this stuff.

    "Catra. Did you steal all of this?" Adora asked basically knowing the answer by the devilish smirk that appeared on Catra's face.

    "That's totally not okay, Mom's going to be furious." Adora continued now sitting up in her bed. The other girl's tail began swaying back and forth, was she happy she did a bad thing?

    "Good thing my lovely new sister isn't going to tell her right?" Catra said as she sat down on the corner of Adora's bed and gave her another mischievous smirk. Adora's heart almost collapsed when those words spilled out of Catra's lips.

    "I.. I don't know Catra." She spoke, breaking eye contact with those gorgeous mismatched eyes.

    "Either that or I make this living situation a living hell." Great, now she was threatening her. She's known this girl for a day and is already being threatened in her own room which is currently full of stolen merchandise. Adora had never been a snitch on her friends when they'd skip class sometimes or goof around in class. She'd maybe let a friend cheat off of her test or something, but nothing like this.

    "Catra, stealing is wrong. You can't just take things because you want them." Adora said, this time a little more stern.

    "It's always the same thing, I show up, ruin the perfect family and then I'm back in the system. Just deal with it until I'm gone, okay princess?" Catras smirk left her face and was replaced with a straight line while she put air quotes over the words "Perfect Family".

    "My mom isn't going to send you back into the system Catra." She said trying to put some sense into the seemingly senseless girl who was now sorting the stolen clothes.

"Doesn't matter, it's all bullshit anyway. When you take in a foster kid, you get money for it. That's all this ever is." What the hell is with this girl.

    "I hope you'll come to understand that it's not. I was adopted by my mom. I was a little baby when she took me in. She's been nothing but kind to me my entire life. She'll be the same for you too." Adora defended Mrs. Razz

"If she really cared, like you think she does right, She'd have bought me clothes." Catra said lifting up her loot as if to give some type of excuse for her stealing.

"She's old Catra, it probably didn't even cross her mind. If you'd have just asked her to take you shopping I'm sure she would have." Adora pressed now, getting a little bit angry that Catra was basically bad talking her mother.

"Listen, Adora. It's great that she cares about you and all, but it's not going to be the same for me. I promise." The Neko girl pulled out only what Adora assumed was a switchblade and began cutting small tail holes into the jeans she'd stolen. Before Adora could rebuttal her statement Catra examined her bag.

"Fuck." She said harshly.

"What's wrong?" Adora asked, genuinely interested in why Catra was upset.

"I forgot to grab shorts to sleep in. I'll just get them tomorrow." She spoke a little less aggressive before continuing to cut holes into her jeans.

"You could just borrow a pair of mine. If you want." Adora said as she got up and began looking through her dresser drawers. Adora was already dressed for bed, she had basketball shorts and an oversized t-shirt on. She turned around to examine Catra's waist size, that's when she noticed that the girl was significantly smaller than she was. Her waist was slim but she had perfect hips, Adora wished she could have a figure like that sometimes but she was far too muscular.

"Here, these were mine freshman year, they'll probably fit you." Adora held out a pair of black shorts to Catra who looked genuinely confused.

"Uhh. Alright." Catra spoke as she slowly stood from her spot on the couch to take the shorts from Adora. She looked taken back, completely blindsided by Adora offering her clothes.

"If they fit, you can keep them, there's no way I'll ever wear them again." Adora laughed as the Neko girl took the shorts out of her hand.

"Really?" Catras face lit up for a second before her head snapped back down and she assumed her normal uninterested face.

"Yeah, I might have a couple more. Hold on." Adora started going through her wardrobe looking for clothes from around her freshman year. After a little while of searching, Catra had a little pile of Adora's old clothes sitting on the couch with her. She was holding some of them up to her without actually trying them on just to check the basic side compared to her body. It honestly looked like everything would fit pretty well. The next thing she did was take a pair of shorts black shorts and a red long sleeve into the bathroom to change. When she came out she looked comfortable and the clothes seemed to fit perfectly. Adora couldn't help but stare at how adorable Catra looked once she was comfortable. The Neko girl had a slight smile on her lips and she was almost dancing across the room with how light her steps were. The rest of the clothes sat in a small pile next to her backpack on the floor pushed against the couch. Catra then laid down against the armrest as her pillow.

"Hey, hold on" Adora said before tossing one of the ten pillows that were on her bed to Catra. The girl caught it easily and laid it down under her head.

"Here, you can have this too if you want." Adora offered her a fuzzy blanket. It was blue and totally threw off Catras whole aesthetic but it was comfortable.

"No no no, I'll burn to death in that. I give off enough heat as it is." Catra gave a smirk and almost chuckled. Almost.

"What about the sheet?" Adora said, holding out a thin sheet to the girl who was now laying all the way across the couch. Again Catra's eyes opened a little wider as her face lit up. She leaned forward and quickly took the blue sheet from Adora's hand without saying a word.

There was a comfortable silence this time, nothing like the ride on the way to school this morning. Adora turned off the lights and they sat in that silence for a long time. So long that Adora was actually drifting off to sleep until she heard Catra's voice the softest it ever sounded.

"Adora... Goodnight I guess," She almost whispered but it was just loud enough for Adora to hear. 

"Goodnight Catra." Adora replied before actually drifting off to sleep.
