[SO ANYWAY! AFTER THAT DATE AUCTION, Catra is stealing away from the crowds with Adora in tow, hands linked and fingers interlaced. she seems very pleased, and yes she is still wearing the heart leggings and Valentine's Gay crop top]
[she's taken Adora to the costume emporium!! surely no one will bother them here!!]
[rolls her eyes a little bit, and her hand gently drops from Adora's as she approaches the closet, gaze flickering across the articles of clothing stuffed inside]
Good intentions or whatever don't mean it isn't super obnoxious.
[it's instinct, the way she slings her arms around Adora's shoulders in a loose hug, tail swishing at her back. she's STILL TRYING TO PLAY IT COOL but honestly, the redness in her cheeks and the way her ears flick back and forth happily probably gives her away]
[she reiterates, but. there's playful mischief in her voice, even though some of it is softened by the feel of Adora's face tucked warmly against her fur-lined neck. remember she has fur, Adora. don't inhale it]
[. . .]
[. . . what's that weird, pleasant rumbling noise??]

You ever notice how everyone here is so nosy?
no subject
Adora is definitely pleased, but also very thoughtful as she follows.
Hmmm...]
... Yeah. They sure are. But I think it's... just because they want us to be happy.
no subject
Good intentions or whatever don't mean it isn't super obnoxious.
[. . . bending down to scoop up a hat!]
no subject
Does it really bug you?
no subject
Well. . .
[. . . a shrug]
It's just none of their business, right?
[so maybe a little bit? but not in the way Adora might be thinking]
no subject
She plonks it on her own head.]
... Well, sort of, no. But... if we were to make it--well, um...
More official...?
Then people would... you know, probably end up knowing. So that's why... it matters if that bothers you.
no subject
[-- and then laughs in that cute, cackly way that she does]
You look like such a dork.
[DON'T. . . CHANGE THE SUBJECT, CATRA]
no subject
Catra! I'm trying to be serious here!
no subject
I know, I know.
[. . .]
[turning back towards the closet, sifting through the clothes again. her tail is swishing cutely. . .!]
People can know things that aren't their business. That doesn't bother me.
[it's mostly people PICKING ON HER that gets to her :/!!]
no subject
... So does that mean... it'd be okay if we, you know...
[MADE IT OFFICIAL...]
no subject
[. . .]
[tail swish at her back]
[. . .]
[CCCCCASUALLY. . .]
If we-- what, Adora?
[she might be PURPOSEFULLY and SUPER COOLLY asking for Adora to!! say it!!]
no subject
Tell everyone that we're together in, like... a dating way? And, um. Stay together? And just kinda... be together? Officially?
[nailed it]
no subject
[slowly turns to face her, still PLAYING IT COOL]
Oh, yeah?
[tail flick]
There's a word for that, right?
no subject
... ... ...
Catra! [A BREATH.] Catra.
Will you... be my girlfriend?

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]

no subject
[gently]
[like. Adora could easily just catch her in a bridal carry if she wanted to]
no subject
And then lifts her a bit higher to press their cheeks together with a delighted, girly giggle.]
no subject
Yeah, okay.
[CATRA. .. ]
I think that sounds neat.
[SHE THINKS]
[THAT SOUNDS NEAT]
no subject
ADORA... SNORTS.
And then she's laughing, tucking her face into the crook of Catra's neck.]
You think it sounds neat?!
[CATRA...]
no subject
[she reiterates, but. there's playful mischief in her voice, even though some of it is softened by the feel of Adora's face tucked warmly against her fur-lined neck. remember she has fur, Adora. don't inhale it]
[. . .]
[. . . what's that weird, pleasant rumbling noise??]
no subject

It's been so long since I've heard you purr...! [gleefully]
no subject
