if there was one thing adora remembered best of the things she’d been seeing, it was catra and her face. it was one that if she’d been an artist, she’d have drawn out and asked around about, but she was the furthest from an artist. instead, she dreamed of shared beds and longing looks, of sharp toothed smiles and the nicest fur she’d ever felt. so when someone with the same name signed up for her session, and it turned out to be the same catra she’d been looking for, she’d been excited. it didn’t take long to realize that she didn’t quite remember what adora did, but that was ok – she’d waited this long, she could wait a little longer. they’d said goodbyes a bit ago, adora leaning over a computer at the desk when catra came up to her, bringing a smile to her face.
“ hey. ” adora stood up as she looked at catra. she couldn’t pin what it was about her, but she always made adora smile without even trying to. she turned red at the accusation, biting back her smile. “ i’m not checking you out, ” though, in all fairness, she definitely was, “ i’m checking for form. and I can show you my certifications if you want. ” she pointed over her shoulder, still smiling. the words could’ve come off as harsh and mean, but the genuine tone in adora’s voice undercut it significantly. “ but, uh… yeah, im not doing anything. i’d love to. ”
catra can’t help but laugh at her response. ❛ alright, alright, don’t get your panties in a twist. i believe you. …sort of. ❜ she teases, her lips curling into a signature smirk. maybe it wasn’t entirely professional to talk to her personal trainer this way, but neither is asking them out to dinner. besides, this was… after hours. it’s not like adora was on the clock or anything. catra tries to contain the excitement bubbling inside her when the blonde agrees to…. whatever the hell this was. not a date. definitely not. ❛ great. ❜ she says in her best attempt at sounding nonchalant. ❛ now i’ll finally get to see if there are more words in your vocabulary than just ‘stand a little straighter,’ or ‘great job,’ or— ‘ wow you’re incredibly good looking and also my favorite client!’ ❜ she might have made that last one up. was she pushing her luck here? maybe. but catra gets a sense that adora wouldn’t mind.
❛ uh, so i know this great diner just down the street from here. unless, you’re like, a vegan. wait, you’re not vegan, are you ? because i don’t know shit about where to get vegan food around here. ❜ she’s being considerate, which is probably a rare phenomenon for catra. but adora was a physical trainer, so catra figured she might care about that sort of thing. after all, she was so weirdly fit and… perfect. ❛ it’ll be like a five minute walk, if you don’t mind. i know how much you hate exercising. ❜ sarcasm.
