Catra's POV

"Stop squirming would you!" I groaned with annoyance as I tried to dab water onto Adora's cuts on her face.

"But the water is cold and it tickles!" She whined putting up her fists in a way you're about to fight someone.

"Ugh, Adora just cooperate. I'm doing you a favor now let me clean your face!" I said lunging forward and jumping onto her.

I pinned her wrists above her head and brought my face close to hers, "Now I got you" 

She blushed and looked away from the sudden attack I made at her, I soon realized the position we were in. I was straddling her and had her hands pinned. 'Oh god, this is just like every cliche anime scene' I thought to myself.

I quickly got off of her and shoved my hands into my jacket in embarrassment, "S-Sorry about that.."

She sat up but winced slightly rubbing her arm, my ears perked up as I saw a bruise with blood running down her arm. I quickly moved toward her with a towel and applied pressure, I saw her look at me with widened eyes as I focused on cleaning the wound with water then applying Neosporin.

"Y-Yeah, no problem" She stuttered. 

I grabbed her arm lightly and wrapped it in bandages. I gave it a quick tap to signal her I was done with it.

"Thanks," She said flashing me her best smile without hurting her face too much, poor girl I hurt her so much it pains her to smile. 

I looked down at the wet cloth and twisted it to get all the water out of the cloth then dipping it again to apply it on her face. Surprisingly she let me as I dabbed the cloth on the cloths, then finally putting bandages on it. 

We sat in awkward silence as we stared at each other, I saw her look over at the T.V. 

She pointed to it and said, "Hey, how about we watch a movie? We haven't done anything really together besides fight. So how about we do something 'friends' do?" 

I blushed as my tail slightly moved from side to side hearing her call us friends, I tilted my head to the side, "You consider us friends?"

She looked at me and smiled, "Considering how much we have been through, I think we can call each other friends" 

I nodded and returned the smile, I was about to get up and put the movie on then I suddenly felt myself being pulled into a warm embrace.

My eyes widened as I realized Adora was hugging me tightly, my arms lingered around her waist until I finally decided to return the hug back. 

"Hey, I missed you too" She whispered into my ear which caused my face to heat up.

I pushed her away playfully and looked down at my lap, "Don't push your luck, this is NOT because I like you".

She smirked and rolled her eyes, "Right, of course".

~~~~~~~~

We eventually turned on the movie,  we couldn't find anything interesting so turned on Jaws 3. I looked over at her sometimes at random times during the movie to see her curled up on one end of the couch with a blanket. I sat at the other edge of the couch causing a huge space between us, unfortunately, I gave Adora the last blanket in the house and I was too lazy to grab one from my room.

I shivered and my tail wiggled around as I wrapped my arms around my knees hoping to gain some sort of warmth.

"Are you cold?" Adora asked shifting around in her blanket looking over at me.

I shrugged and continue to watch the movie not wanting to make it a big deal, I heard shuffling around next to me which caused me to look over.

"Jesus! You scared me" I said jumping from the sudden contact Adora made. She had thrown the blanket over both of as she huddled next to me placing her head on my shoulder making herself comfortable.

"Sorry, I wanted to make you warm too," she said with a worried tone.

My eyes softened as I watched her shift around trying to place her feet somewhere, I continued to huddle myself into a ball. I let my arms snake out from under the blanket and placed it around her shoulder causing her to tense.

"Relax, I'm just trying to make my arm more comfortable," I said rolling my eyes.

She nodded, I could tell she was hiding her blush which wasn't much different from me. It was definitely warmer because of our body heats but I was definitely warm because of embarrassment. I haven't talked to Adora in years, and here we are huddling in a ball with a blanket together, watching a movie. Cliche if you ask me, but whatever. 

I felt her keep shuffling around, I decided to tell her to stop so I turned my head but my breath hitched in my throat as our eyes met. But this time it felt different, everything around us felt fuzzy and the only thing that mattered was us.

My body controlled on its own as I felt my eyes start to become half-lidded and I watched Adora's breathing become a little short as I saw her lean in a little. My grip on her shoulder became stronger as I leaned in as well.

I waited for the inevitable moment for us to kiss, but as I waited. It seemed like nothing was happening as if time stopped. I opened my lidded eyes as I saw her clutching my shirt under my jacket and looking down. 

I felt my heart drop, as I felt her push me back a little and push her head into my chest. 

"You know we cant..were best friends, remember?" I just knew how hard that was for Adora to say, and how much of a lie it was. But I knew she was right, we just became friends, we can't rush into things this fast. 

I held in the tears as I looked away, but I wasn't about to make this into a fight. 

"No, I understand," I said with a smile, but she didn't see it because she had her head buried into my chest as her tears stained my shirt.

"Hey, look at me," I said grabbing her chin to look up at me, "We just reunited and we've just been through a rough patch. Jumping right into a relationship is going to be risky, I don't want to risk losing you again. Even if that means we can't be lovers".

I kept watching Adora's face which seemed convinced but still a twinge of sadness hidden behind her eyes, she was easy to read once you get to know her. 

"Okay.." She finally said nodding. 

"Okay," I repeated then getting up and holding out a hand for her to take.

She took it and I pulled her up and looked outside to see the stars were perfect tonight, I looked at her to which caused her to look at me. I smirked at her making her tilt her head in confusion. Her hand still in mine I tugged it to signal her to follow me.

"Come on, I want to show you something," I said.

"Judging from your smirk, it's one of your Catra hideouts," Adora said grinning.

I winked at her and continued to lead her out onto the balcony which had a ladder that leads to the roof. 

"Spot on," I said pointing to the ladder. 

I tugged at her hand but she didn't budge, I could tell she was about to give me a lecture since she had her had on her hips letting go of my hand. I missed the warmth, but I didn't say much.

Before she spoke I shut her up by clapping my hands together in a praying motion and bowed my head down.

"Adoraaaaa, I promise! Nothing bad will happen up there, don't you trust me?" I asked slightly raising my head.

I saw her look up the ladder and walk towards it, she ran her fingertips along the ladder then finally looking back at me.

"Everything I do with you will eventually have something bad to do with it, Catra," She said causing my ears to droop.

But they quickly perked back up when she cupped my small ears and rubbed along the base and tip of my ears giving me a quick smirk.

"But that's what I love about being your partner in crime," She whispered then tugging me towards the ladder, "Now are you going to help me up or what?"

I blushed as I watched her start to climb the ladder, I quickly placed my hands on her waist to help her small body up the ladder to which I quickly followed. 

We made it up on the roof and silently walked along the roof, I watched her twirl around with the wind causing her hair to move with it. I couldn't help but smile at her figure dancing through the night, it was nice having someone up here from time to time.

"I take it you come up here a lot" I heard her say while pointing to a blanket and 2 pillows on the roof.

I scratched my head, I was glad it was nighttime so it could hide my reddening cheeks from her. I nodded finally and walked over to the blanket and sat down then patting the empty spot of the blanket telling Adora to sit down.

"Whos the special person?" She asked

"What?" I asked confused

"You have two pillows, so obviously you're not alone"  I couldn't help but smile at the jealousy in her voice

"Why, you jealous?~" I cooed close to her face.

She pushed me away and chuckled lightly, "No stupid, were best friends. I just want to know about what I missed about with your love life"

I tapped my finger on my chin, "Yes, I had sex with every girl I knew in middle school. It was nice"

She shoved me again, "Shut up! I'm serious!"

I laughed and looked down, "Yeah, I would come up here with an ex that lasted about 2 years but that never ended well. Middle school relationships never work, so it's usually Scorpia who replaces that spot now".

Adora's face softened then placed her head on my shoulder, "Sorry about that, I didn't mean to bring up past memories"

I patted her head which she swatted away causing me to smile, "Yeah, It's fine. What about you?"

"What about me," She asked staring at the stars.

I followed her actions by looking at the stars, "You know, your love life? I told you about mine, tell me about you and your love life"

"Oh right, um... nothing really. I've had a few guys ask me out but I said know since I'm Bi, but I'm debating if I just like girls now since I dated a guy recently and kind of hate the feeling of dating a guy and broke up with him" She replied.

I nodded, "Yeah, I definitely do not like guys"

She lifted her head off my shoulder which caused me to let a small whine missing the warmth, "What about that girl you kissed?"

I felt myself become guilty, "I kind of kissed her just to get on your nerves"

"But we aren't even dating, it wouldn't make me jealous" She retorted

"Listen, I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanted to make you pissed, but I'm over that. We made up, we're fine" I finished giving her forehead a flick.

She flinched back and slapped my hand away. We both gave a small chuckle as we continued to stare out into the sky watching the stars.

Adora eventually laid back down onto the blanket and rested her head on the pillow, I continued to watch the stars as I heard her breathing become more shallow which meant she was falling asleep.

After a couple of minutes, her breathing became inaudible as I laid down next to her, I couldn't help but stare at her figure in the night.

I scooted a bit closer to her, feeling the warmth of her body. As I whispered into her ear hoping she was asleep and wouldn't be able to hear me.

"I missed you too..."
