36 for she-ra
I will write the Bow x Catra friendship I wanna see in the world
-
Bow tapshis fingertips over his opposing knuckles, waiting for her to process.
“You readyto come down?” He asks, looking up the tree where she perched. Her eyesoutward, and she’s drooped on herself, face pressed into her arms pressedagainst her legs.
“Tell me I’mwrong.” Catra says, and her voice is weak, and Bow can hear the tears. He sighsbefore taking hold of the tree and pulling himself up, climbing it easily andcramming himself as close as he can to her.
“I don’tthink I can. But I shouldn’t have to, Catra.” Bow says, and he hesitates puttinghis hand to her shoulder. He lets his hand fall to his knee, tucking inwards onhimself.
“You’reallowed to be upset. Realizing… the way you’ve been hurt, there’s no shame inthat.” He says, and he wonders how much of it Catra hears.
Catratenses up, and he sees the way she pulls even further inward. The tears smoothover her voice.
“I don’t likeit.” She admits. More than before and a step in the right direction. Bow feelsher tail touch and hang by his shoulder.
“I know.”He says, hoping his presence helps. She cries quietly for the next fifteen minutes,and Bow doesn’t say a word.
