Two weeks after the battle of Bright Moon you were all still healing from the injuries that stupid thing caused

You glanced over at Catra who was staring out the window, her hands tucked over her knees. Your lips moved upwards as you watched her tail swing back and forth, her ears twitching slightly as it felt all too familiar

It was nighttime already. Catra was staying in the castle since she had proven herself or something, at least that's what the others told you

And she stayed mainly in your room and with Adora. She didn't want to admit that she had nightmares, one night she just barged in without saying a word and asked if she could stay for the night

You haven't talked much since

"I can feel you staring at me" She turned around to glare at you and you just shrugged

"What can I say, you look good when you are distracted"

She rolled her eyes and turned away to try and hide her now blushing face. You shook your head and took a pen from the table, writing down notes for the next general meeting you were gonna have with the princesses

"What are you writing?"

You didn't look up at the fella as she jumped down on the bed and tried to peek in over your shoulder. You narrowed your eyes at Catra and she just smirked

"Notes? Really?"

You rolled your eyes "Catra that's none of your business"

She snored and poked your shoulder playfully "What? We aren't friends anymore?"

You averted your eyes from her, not really knowing how to answer. Were you? "I mean...I guess not? But maybe we are now that you are here?" You groaned loudly as your back hit the pillows and stared motionlessly at the ceiling "I don't know, you know I'm not good with feelings and shit!"

Catra laughed, probably at your expression and narrowed her eyes, no malice hidden beneath them this time "I know, that's why we have Adora"

"She isn't good with it either"

She snored "True"

You looked down at your hands as you played with the hem of your shirt and frowned "What are we even gonna do now?"

"Meaning?"

That I don't know how I feel about you? About Adora? How these feeling are confusing me every damn time I try to get trough them?

"Well..." You pursed your lips and shook your head, chasing the sudden thoughts away "Are things gonna go back like they used tho?"

She raised her eyebrows and trew her hands up "Ya think?!"

"Damn no need to be this harsh" You whispered and looked away at the table

Her expression softened slightly and she sighed, scooting a bit closer to you so your knees were touching "Look, we all just need some time ok? I know you suck with dealing with things so I will leave you alone but just...I need some time too. To think"

You tilted your head to the side and stared in her eyes, not really knowing if you should believe her but there wasn't any hint of dishonesty or mistrust. She was telling the truth for once

You smiled, just slightly so Catra could notice "Ok"

(Time skip)

You looked over at a really anxious Adora as the fifth meeting this week was taking place

You told them at the begining of the week about the whole encounter with your mother and since then the place had been going like crazy

Everyone was still on edge, wanting to admit it or not, so Perfuma was practically forcing some of her friends to go meditate with her like Netossa, Bow, Scorpia and Adora on daily morning meditation

Needless to say you went there sometimes to relax

And see Adora struggle since it was truly entertaining to watch and made you laugh every time

But the alliance still struggled to trust Catra for obvious reasons but they were starting to warm up to her, Perfuma and Spinnerella mainly

"Ugh we need to attack" Mermista said in an annoyed tone and crossed her arms, irritated that no one was seeing her point

You bit your lip, not really sure if what you were about to propose was the best idea "I agree with Mermista" You shared a look with her for a split second before turning your attention back to Angella "The Horde must be weakened after the battle otherwise they would have attacked already"

"But we are also still healing" Angella pointed out sternly, still not budging

Dear Etheria what were you supposed to say to make her change her mind? Was it even worth it?

"With all due respect, she's right"

You looked up at Adora who smiled slightly at you "Their forces took most of the damage thanks to Y/n and She-Ra so we have the advantage point here. We can form a plan and attack them at their weakest, ending the war once and for all"

"I agree" Perfuma raised a hand and looked around the table nervously "It's a good point"

"If it means I get to hit more things then I'm in" Frosta grinned and made ice fists around her hands. Perfuma had to put her hands down before she destroyed the table again

She did that a lot when she was angry on a meeting

"Not happening"

"I-uh I guess" Scorpia smile and chuckled awkwardly under the queen's glare

"I'm in" Netossa looked over at her wife

"Me too"

"I'm not"

Catra sighed "I guess"

Adora stood up and sat between the two of you, lightly bumping Catra on the shoulder. "Oh come on we know you are excited" Nobody seemed to notice because of the sudden chaos that had erupted around the room, everyone talking and arguing over one another to try and prove their point

You pointed at Catra and raised an eyebrow "Do you think she will admit it?"

"Stop with the bloody sarcasm"

"And who's gonna tell me no darling? Hmm? You?"

Catra rolled her eyes "Duh"

"Did you sleep last night? You are grumpier than usual" Adora pointed out and went to brush her fingers through her hair, almost mindlessly as she looked at Catra for an answer

But she didn't get any

"You two slept together?"

"What??" Most of the people in the room exclaimed and turned to look at you three

You facepalmed "Not in that way, gosh"

Adora laughed nervously "I know right? So not like that...not at all...haha....what are we talking about again? I didn't quite catch that" She whispered the last part in your ear and you shook your head

"Imma tell you later"

"Yeah and all of you better turn around before I claw your eyes off" Catra extended her claws on front of her face and everyone obeyed in a heartbeat

You chuckled "Some things never change huh?"

"Nope"

"Absolutely"

It was great to be back to this normal. In a way, it felt like you had never left

But something in the back of your mind wouldn't stop whispering things in your ear, the things that you wanted to push away, deep down so no one even you could find

What would have happened if you stayed behind with your mother? Should you go back? You have a kingdom to rule

"We will discuss this later, we have more important issues at the moment" Angella raised her hand and straighten up even more if that was possible, her wings moving slightly behind her "As we know Y/n's kingdom Amura had been found hidden in the Whispering Woods"

The chatter died down as Angella prickled the interests of the others and continued "We need to figure out how to get them out of there, they could be essential to the rebellion"

You stared down at the table, avoiding eye contact once you felt the whole room share a look at you. You ignored them

"And how will we do that?" Catra raised an eyebrow

"I still don't know, I have not yet found an answer in any of my books"

"I will help with whatever you need" Adora said quickly, eagerly even as she shared a determined look with Catra

"And so will I"

"Thank you but it's not needed yet"

Angella put her chin on her hands with an unreadable look "But I have a lead and I think I shall have an answer in a couple of days, until then I will consult with Castaspella. Another meeting will take place once I'm done. For now, the meeting is over"

Everyone nodded but nobody seemed to move. Finally, Frosta was the first one to stand up and soon the other princesses followed

No one's POV:

Angella looked back at you, seeing as you were deep in thought and wondered if she should ask if you were ok. But she knew you weren't. Finally, deciding it was for the best, she turned around and left without saying a word

But the others didn't have the same ideas

"Should we talk to her?" Glimmer whispered when they finally left and stood outside next to the door

Bow put a hand on her shoulder, seeing as she was tense and smiled "I think she needs some time alone, it's a sore topic for her"

Bow didn't want to leave Y/n in there, neither did Glimmer but they had to respect her personal space. If she was ready to talk, she would. And they would listen

"Maybe you should stay?" Glimmer turned over to Adora and Catra

Both of them exchanged a confused look "Why?"

Sparkles rolled her eyes in annoyance since these three were so bloody oblivious "You are her childhood best friends. That should count for something"

And she made a bet with Bow about when they were going to finally admit their feelings for one another so she needed the ship to sail quickly so she can win the bet

But again, reasons

The other two tho didn't know if they should. Both of them avoided being alone with one another, out of fear from what could happen

They didn't know how to deal with these feelings. When their heart would beat a bit faster if their hands brushed together, their stomach doing a little flip flop only to see the other smile. They didn't understand these things and that scared the shit out of Catra and Adora

Kill that Shadow Weaver bitch I'm telling you

"Ok" finally Adora mumbled and looked back at the crack they had left through the door

Y/n hadn't moved an inch since they left and that only made her that much more concerned. Her eyebrows were furrowed in mindless focus, her mind seemingly elsewhere as she stared down at nothing in particular

Her f/c hair was framing her face and she looked at the headband that layed next to Y/n on the table. This was unusual

Adora looked beside her to see Catra, Bow and Glimmer who had went to look behind her

"That just proves my point she never has her hair down"

"Almost" Catra whispered and hugged herself, remembering the times in the Horde she so desperately tried to push away and out of her head

She would only do it when something was really really bothering her but she never said why

"I agree but you better hurry" Bow shooed them away and pushed them lightly towards the door "We believe in you!" He whisper-shouted and gave them a thumbs up before Catra and Adora were pushed inside the room

Y/n still wasn't looking up

Meanwhile with Glimmer and Bow

"Bow! Why did you push them inside? I could have just teleported them in"

Bow shrugged "It seemed appropriate at the time"

"What are you still doing here?"

Angella walked up behind them and looked at the two teenagers for answers

"Uh-"

"Well- we just wanted to help!"

"Shhh they might hear us"

"Who might hear you?"

Glimmer grabbed her mother's hand and teleported them in her room along with Bow who had grabbed her arm just in time to not be left in the middle of the hall

"Glimmah I don't appreciate your tone. What's happening?"

"I haven't even said anything mom!"

The two continued to fight and Bow just stood in in the corner rubbing his arm in discomfort, wondering if he should just leave the room or continue to stand there

Sorry sorry I'm ending it here but next chapter is gonna be some emotional comfort and like ❤️
