its not like i like you

realisation

catras POV

I get out and head to the elevator where I descend to the ground floor while listening to the elevator music to distract my thoughts.

It opens and I step out nearly tripping yet there seems to be barely anyone here.

I walk out thinking she might be by the vending machines since she seems to like drinks from there yet still no sign of her.

"what am I doing? am I just wasting time, it'll be stupid if I go back"

I sigh and head up to the top floor where the bar is, a little more drinking is fine.

as the door opens I feel somewhat hesitant to go in, it's still very full and alive even at this time of night, everyone seemed to forget about time, stepping in felt more like stepping into another world.

I put my hands in my pockets and head to the counter when I'm suddenly stopped by a few girls sitting near me.

"hey come here for a sec"

"h-huh me?.." I walk over to them

"you look really lonely, care to spare a few minutes with us?" I gulp, they were attractive, it had me frozen for a few seconds.

"or maybe a night... you're quite cute" says another girl, they all giggle

"actually I-"

I look around the large room thinking of something to make an excuse out of-

huh?

is that, who I think it is

my eyes land on the familiar face.

there's no mistake, those almost-glowing blue eyes and blonde hair with that muscular build.

adora!

"sorry I actually have other plans!" I say and run off

"hey wait!-"

I walk up to adora who looks troubled

"hey adora?..."

no response, her head lay on the table, she couldn't have gotten that drunk?...

"adora hey! hello!" I say tapping her

"I feel like dying, help!" she finally says perking her head up

"adora!" I slap her

"ow! what the heck was that for?"

"I don't know, you were freaking out and it was freaking me out!"

"well you didn't have to slap me, now I feel sort of sober"

"ah right sorry" I say scratching the back of my head

"what are you even doing here? looking for me..?" she says smirking

"of course not! I just wanted to get- get a drink, that's all"

"what about mermista?" she asks concerned

"she fell asleep"

she didn't respond so I ordered a beer and watched the city view from the windows instead.

"I made it awkward didn't I? because of what I did" she finally says and I instantly knew what she was talking about

"well I guess but I think everything's fine now" I say trying to reassure her
