1 or 20 with catradora please for the love of god
Doing #1! Beware, the duo is awkward. Sexual tension. Less planning for the party, more.. Touchy touching. (Sorry for the wait, holidays kept me busy!)Pairing: CatradoraWord Count: 1007
“Alright, I’m going to pick some names out of the hat now..” Angella sighed, peering at the mess of young adults that sat in a large circle. Glimmer and Bow bounced up and down in their office chairs, and Scorpia and Entrapta were chatting about what they got the others for Christmas.
Adora and Catra on the other hand.. Looked as if they were fighting against each other during a war. They grew apart due to Adora moving to a better company, Bright Moon Inc. thus leaving Catra behind at the Horde Inc. they were inseparable until Adora realized that the Horde, albeit one of the most powerful companies in the world, was scamming and destroying small businesses.
Adora set off to find Bright Moon Inc. which was another huge company that “coincidentally” owned a building next to the Horde’s main office.
Why are the Horde and Bright Moon collaborating, you asked? Well. Catra and Scorpia, two chief officers, suggested destroying Bright Moon from the inside out, by collaborating together and finding out some juicy secrets that could potentially form a scandal, or something like that.
Okay, the plan wasn’t completely mapped out, but Catra has a small grudge.
Angella shoved her hand in the hat, twiddling around to shuffle and grab 2 names out of it. She curiously stared at the small notes, and then looked towards the young adults in the circle.
“Catra and Adora, you both will be preparing the Christmas Party!” Angella cheered, excited that it wasn’t her that was chosen. Angella worked way too hard to be chosen for planning a party, specifically between her company and her rival. With a screech and a whine, one of the chosen party planners glared at the other before begging for another pick.
“I’m sorry Catra, what’s done is done!” Angella showed apathy, walking away before Catra could scratch her with some (absolutely beautiful btw.) acrylic nails. Catra huffed and puffed. How could she even talk with that blonde woman? That beautiful, charming, intelligent traitor! Catra bet Adora couldn’t wait for this to be over.
Catra pounded the wall with her fist, disturbing no one because everyone ran to get their lunches after the names were announced.
“Excited to plan this party out!” Adora squealed, grabbing the laptop that Glimmer held out.
“You sure ‘bout that Adora? She IS your archenemy.” Bow quirked one of his eyebrows up with confusion. Weren’t they supposed to.. Hate each other? Mutually? Catra seemed to hate Adora’s guts, but that was just about it.
“Of course, but we WERE best friends. I can read her like a book! She’s probably waiting outside being all excited and st-“
“Paging weird ponytailed blondie to Conference Room 69, come quick before I scratch your face off.” The office intercom beeped in, with Catra calling (most likely) Adora to a conference room that was never really used. I mean, who needs 69 conference rooms with a well formed and organized schedule?
Adora stood from her seat, wedging her laptop into her armpit. She mumbled an “I guess that’s me.” before running to the specified conference room. Adora knew about how impatient Catra was, and how she really could scratch Adora’s face off.
She knocked twice out of courtesy before twisting the door knob and walking into the nearly plain conference room, besides Catra sitting in a powerful looking chair that faced the door. A large plethora of decorations was placed neatly and organized in boxes, which was surprising. Catra wasn’t really the neat type of worker. What changed?
“Uh.. Hey, Catra?” Adora began, clearing her throat to expel the nervousness from her system. It was weird how they were almost attached to the hip just a few months ago. Now, Catra tried her best to exert dominance and power, as if Adora would try to attack her predator-prey style. It wasn’t arrogance, more like.. Defensiveness. As if Adora just poked fun at something OR threw away something Catra took pride in. Like.. A relationship of some sorts.
“Hey Adora.” Catra scratched at the cardboard boxes, filling in the awkward silence with an annoying noise. Adora watched her movements suspiciously, pulling the laptop from her under arm and setting it down on the conference table. She typed in her password and clicked on a document that held all of Adora’s ideas and some color schemes that they could maybe follow.
Catra fiddled with her tie in boredom. Why was this so awkward? She thought that more hating would ensue, and they would be bickering much more. To be honest, Catra would rather be angry at Adora than be sad that she was gone.
“So.. How’s work?” Adora started with a stupid question, sliding her laptop to Catra for some feedback.
“Don’t ask that question, blondie.”
“Why’re you so stupid?” Catra shot back to Adora’s surprise. She wasn’t stupid! Slow, maybe, but not stupid!
“You’re the stupid one! You’re still working in the Horde!”
Catra stood up and rushed to Adora, pushing her against the office chair. She straddled Adora’s waist before pulling on her hair and tugging on it roughly, causing Adora to whine under Catra. The girl on top sent a glare straight (or gay) to the other, asserting more dominance as the seconds passed.
“Say that again!” Catra growled, tugging on Adora’s ponytail again.
“You’re stupid. You didn’t leave with me to go to Bright Moon.” Adora said again, irking Catra further.
Well, that started a small slap fight. Not the painful slaps, imagine the kindergarten fights that sparked because of a stolen crayon. That’s how strong their fighting was. After a few minutes, Catra laid her head on Adora’s shoulder, huffing to catch her breath. Adora’s arms were around Catra’s waist in an attempt to keep their balance.
Catra raised her head to stare into Adora’s eyes, sighing before lightly slapping the blonde girl’s cheek.
“Stupid dork. This doesn’t mean I miss or like you.”
“I mean I didn’t— I didn’t say anything.”
