I know. [It's hard to see Catra as the angry, bitter woman she became like this. Just the two of them huddled together under a blanket, quiet and soft, like they're the only ones in the world...It's everything Adora's ever wanted.
When her hand sneaks up to Catra's ears this time, it's gentle. She strokes Catra's ears slowly, avoiding the small, familiar areas she knows by heart as too much, too uncomfortable.
Maybe Rey is right, and she'll regret this in the future, when it inevitably comes tumbling down and takes Adora's heart with it.
[ She really doesn't know what to do with the swell of affection that surges through her, doesn't want to risk popping the little bubble that feels like it's formed around them.
So slowly, Adora readjusts the blanket to cover them more and scoots up to better let Catra relax against her. The ear petting continues until it starts to falter as Adora's eyelids droop.
A soft snore escapes her, hand in Catra's hair, and Adora finally drifts off. ]
