its not like i like you

the before

catras POV

"huh? one more thing?"

adora had something else to say? could it be? she's going to confess?!

"yeah I was thinking... we could go shopping for the trip!"

oh.

so that's what it was, of course of course. I shouldn't be jumping to conclusions like that, stupid catra.

I sigh.

"sure, sounds fun"

so the next day we went.

"Ah don't you think this jacket looks good on me?" I ask

"you should get it!" replies adora

we had been shopping for half an hour already at the mall and we already had a few things we bought.

"I'm going to try on this dress for the formal party"

It was long red dress, I was blushing thinking about how she looked in it.

we enter the changing rooms.

"ah I'll stand out there" I say scratching the back of my head

"why? is it because you're shy?"

"no! I'm being respectful"

she simply enters without a reply and I watch her go in and close the curtain. I stand for a few minutes looking around trying to distract my mind from her changing and being half naked through the easily moving curtain.

"hey catra? you there?"

"hey adora"

"I need help, with the dress- it's the zip"

I slowly open the curtains and my eyes avert to adoras toned and muscular back, it looks smooth and soft.

I gently graze my fingers wanting to dig my nails on her back, it was cold, I can feel her eyes looking at me from the mirror. I try my hardest to keep a straight face.

"done" I say

she turns around.

"what do you think?"

I never thought I'd see her in a dress for some reason my heart was beating repeatedly.

"It looks fine" I say while looking away

"just fine?"

"It's stunning"

"maybe I'll look for another one"

"wha? why!"

"clearly it's not good"

"keep it, i like it... a lot"

I felt somewhat nervous saying that, I look at adora and her gaze meets with mine almost shocked.

"catra, what will you be wearing?"

"A suit, It matches with scorpias dress"

"you two will be matching?"

"that's what I just said"

"don't try that with me" she sassily turns her head away

"why're you asking anyways blondie?"

"no reason, now let me change" she pushes me out and swiftly closes the curtain.

what the heck was that about adora?!

she finally comes out and purchases the dress.

"wanna grab lunch?" I ask

"yes!" she says excitedly and walks off leaving me walking behind her watching her back.

In a few days...

we'll be going on that trip together huh?
