    Summary

    "Plus, I- I don’t want her to think—” She tucked her face closer, mumbling.
    Bow patted her arm. “Come on, use your words.”
    A pause.
    “… I don’t want her to think I’m needy ...”
    There was a cough as Glimmer stifled a laugh. “Adora has
    needs.”
    “Shut up! That’s not what I—”
    “Hey! Hey.” Bow lowered his voice. “We know that’s not what you meant. Adora, it’s perfectly okay to want a hug from your girlfriend.”
    “Is it?” she asked, small, genuine.

     

    Catra is both touch-starved and touch-averse and it's turning into a real problem.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

They offer to take them to the children's home Scorpia reformed from the old Horde barracks.

    Summary

    The fire climbs to an even greater height, crackling and whipping in the light desert breeze. Catra watches it with rapt attention, fearful to let her gaze linger on Adora for too long.

    “But we don’t have to fight, you know,” Adora says. “I mean...what’s the point of it now? There’s no rebellion here. And no Horde. There’s just you and me, and a lot of things that wouldn’t hesitate to kill either of us.”

    “So, what?” demands Catra. “We pretend to be a team again? After everything?”

    “If it keeps us alive,” says Adora. “I’m willing to put all that aside if you are.”


    Catra and Adora end up exiled to the Crimson Waste together. If they're going to conquer gangs, quicksand, serpents, and other desert threats, they'll need to learn to trust one another again.
