Tw: Mentions of suicide, mentions of cutting, depression
Takes place sometime between chapter 18-19 & is the day after Standing Up.

Adora's POV

I pretty much gave up on my diary for the past week. Catra seemed to have noticed because she kept giving me weird glances. That just shows she reads my diary and there's no way I'm telling her I've been cutting occasionally. I was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling in silence.

"Hey, you ok?" I closed my eyes and felt movement on the bed.

"Babe? What's wrong?" She asked laying next to me. I sighed before sitting up.

"Nothing, just tired." I lied standing up. She quickly got off of the bed and came over to me.

"Why didn't you just say that? It is Saturday after all." Wow, so if it was one of those nights she- bastard. I scoffed before pushing past her and going downstairs.

"Where are you going?" She asked while I scanned the kitchen. What to eat what to eat. I felt her arms wrap around my waist and her head dig into my back.

"Catra what are you doing?"

"Comforting you," For your own self-benefit. I rolled my eyes before moving her hands. She seemed hurt by my actions but didn't say anything.

"So, what shit do you have prepared for today?" I asked leaning against the counter.

"Ouch, I don't know actually." She said rubbing her arms. I grinned.

"Nice, I can spend the day with Melog," I said starting to go upstairs. I turned around just before she was going to hug me.

"No, no touches," I warned before going upstairs. I went into her bedroom and searched for Melog but frowned when they weren't there. Where are they? I left her bedroom and looked in the bathroom. I smiled when I saw them napping on the toilet seat.

"Hey Melog," I whispered coming over to them. They opened their eyes and yawned before walking into my arms.

"Aw, your cute even after you wake up. Cuter than Catra!" I yelled before laughing.

"Bitch," I muttered walking out of the bathroom. I saw her sitting next to the door and scoffed. Shrimp lmao. I went to her bedroom and sat them on the bed.

"Feels nice being able to do what I want. Now to just get outside would be nice." I said as the door opened. I glared at Catra and she moved away from Melog. That's what I thought. She sat on the other side of the bed and I smiled.

"So make me a sandwich?" I asked putting Melog

"What?"

"What? I don't see a difference since you don't let me near the stove. Afraid I'll burn myself." I muttered before tickling Melog. They meowed causing me to blush.

"What are you blushing at?" She asked and I smirked.

"Not you,"

"What!?"

"What."

"Why not?"

"First off, I'm sure nobody blushes towards a psychopath," I said as Melog slid off the bed.

"Who's a psychopath!?" Omfg no, you didn't. I picked them up before laughing.

"Are you serious?"

"... yeah."

"Nope, nuh-uh use your brain," I said picking them up and leaving the room. I went downstairs and placed them on the table.

"You hungry?" I asked as they leaned on me.

"Imagine I dated Melog, better than dating you," I said as she blushed from embarrassment. I laughed before tickling Melog again. This time they jumped on my lap and took a shit.

"Wow, ok then. I see how it is." I joked before I went upstairs and changed my pants. Melog playing dirty I see how it is- I LEFT THEM WITH CATRA SHIT!! I slipped on shorts before running downstairs. I saw Catra near the door holding Melog.

"H-Hey, shit." She whispered as I went over.

"Seriously? Are you that attention thirsty?"

"No! I just-" I snatched Melog from her and stuck my tongue out.

"They treat me better than you."

"They just took a shit on your pants." She deadpanned and I nodded.

"An act of love," I said rolling my eyes.

"Maybe I should shit on your pants." WTF IT WAS A JOKE!!

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that," I said before placing my hand on her hair and ruffling it.

"Make me something to eat. I'll be upstairs."

"But-" Before she could finish Melog hissed at her.

"Yout pet hates you," I snickered walking away.

"Adora, what's with the change of attitude?" She asked and I turned around.

"What do you mean?" I asked pretending like I didn't know.

"You were so nice and caring before now you're a jerk."

"And your not?"

"Actually no your a bitch, not a jerk." I said as tears filled her eyes.

"Adora, how could you say that?" She asked wiping her eyes.

"What you want me to lie?"

"Yeah,"

"Too soft to handle the truth huh?" I asked leaning against the wall. Feels nice to get revenge >:D

"Hey Catra, will you be the minister for our wedding?"

"Me and you?"

"Nope, me and Melog!" I said holding them in the air. That's when she started crying. Don't make me feel guilty. I quickly went upstairs and sat on the bathroom floor.

"Did I take it too far?" I whispered rubbing circles on Melog's fur. They dug their head in my stomach causing me to smile.

"No? Ok, I mean I was only kidding... some of it," I said before noticing the door was open. I should close that before Catra comes. I closed the door and smiled before noticing her in the corner of the bathroom. I screamed as she looked up.

"Hi!"

"What the hell!? How!?"

"I walked in,"

"Why!?"

"I love you,"

"When!?"

"Long enough to hear your conversation with my pet." She said crossing her arms.

"Your pet?" I asked before laughing.

"What?"

"I treat them better than you! You tried to get rid of them you monster! You should know how much I love Melog."

"Over me?!

"Definitely!"

"Adora-"

"Don't 'Adora' none of this would've happened if you hadn't turned psycho. We could have had a nice future together but that's not going to happen. Not on my watch at least." I said as she blocked the door. I sighed before facing the wall. Low-key Melog should date me haha the look on Catra's face. I chuckled before seeing her shoulder behind me.

"What do you want now?"

"An apology,"

"Next,"

"What!? No that was it!"

"Haha no," I said standing up. She glared at me but I just patted her head.

"You should be the one apologizing," I whispered before kissing Melog.

"Don't do that!"

"Why?"

"You'll get fur in your mouth."

"Better than kissing you."

"I give up," She said leaving the bathroom and going downstairs. Yay, a day alone. Can't believe that worked. I went to her room and hugged Melog.

"That's worked, can you believe it?" I asked excitedly. They meowed while laying on my face.

"If you poop again I will not forgive you," I mumbled as they stared into my eyes.

"Hey, babe?" I didn't answer.

"Babe, you know I see you right?" I'm not your babe so I won't answer :3

"Babe. Babe! Ugh, Adora,"

"Yeah?" I smirked and she growled.

"I hate you,"

"That I can be receptive about! We both hate each other!"

"No, wait I was kidding don't-"

"Too late, can't take your words back," I said before she hugged me. I couldn't move her because Melog was still on my face.

"Move Catra,"

"Why?" She whined but when I went to move my hands I realized she was holding them. Great now I have to risk Melog falling.

"Catra-"

"No!"

"You're a child."

"No, I'm not! Stop,"

"Nope!"

"Where did this confidence come from!? I liked how you were before!"

"I didn't, but of course you liked it. You were able to control me but now that you lost that you feel weak and helpless."

"I-"

"You know it's true."

"I guess..." She moved her hands so I moved Melog.

"What do you say?" I asked smirking at her.

"U-Uh I'm... I'm..."

"You can't even apologize,"

"I'm sorry for how I treated you please don't do this anymore." She said leaning on the bed.

"Fine, but I'm actually hungry."

"Same, I'll be back." She said going downstairs. Not gonna lie I liked how that felt but knowing I'm doing the same thing as her made me upset.

Ok, this was just for fun because I like to think Adora had a boost of confidence after Standing Up.
