A.N: This is a shorter chapter than what I'd usually do, but it was just a small idea I had after the finale.
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SEASON 5. DO NOT READ IF YOU DIDN'T FINISH.
Adora lay in bed, sleeping soundly for the first time in what felt like forever. She was comfortable and content, the world was saved, her friends were happy, and she was in love. She opened her eyes slowly, her vision adjusting to the early morning light. She was awake, and it was a new world. She could do anything she wanted, especially now that she was accompanied by a familiar face.
Adora sat up and stretched her arms to the sky with a yawn. She blinked the last remaining traces of sleep from her eyes and then took in the room around her. Surprisingly, the room was left untouched while everyone was chipped. She turned after feeling movement on her left side, and let her gaze fall upon a sleeping Catra. Adora smiled.
"You used to sleep at my feet, but look at you now." she said, her warm smile turning into a playful smirk.
Catra groaned as she sat up and stretched as well, her tail stretching along with her limbs.
"Don't act like you don't love it." she replied, adopting a smirk to match her partners.
Adora looked Catra in the eyes and her smile softened. "You're right, because I love you." she said, leaning in and giving Catra a small kiss on the cheek. "Come on, let's get some breakfast."
Catra held a hand against the warm spot where Adora had just kissed her, she could feel the heat spreading from her growing blush. She hopped out of the bed. "I love you too!" she said quickly, before adding "Race you to the dining hall." and sprinting out of the room on all fours.
Adora let out a laugh before giving chase. The two ran through the halls of Brightmoon Castle, Catra always keeping just out of Adoras reach.
"Hey, you forgot something." Adora yelled out ahead to Catra.
Catra looked back at her in amusement. "Yea? What's that?" she asked.
"I know this castle better than you!" Adora replied before entering a door that Catra had run past, leading directly to the dining hall."
"Hey! No fair!" Catra exclaimed, skidding to a halt and changing course to follow Adora.
Adora waited for Catra to get into the dining hall before closing the door. "All's fair in love and war."
"So are you guys in love or at war?" came a new voice. Catra shot to a standing position, tail frazzled, as she didn't expect anybody to be around. Quick enough, she noticed Glimmer sitting at a table and looking at them, Bow next to her, quietly eating from a bowl.
"Uh, what do you mean?" she asked nervously.
Bow looked up at her, raising an eyebrow. "You know we saw you two getting all mushy together after Horde-Prime was defeated. We even had a group hug."
Catra scowled but it did nothing to hide her growing blush. "Sh-shut up! I was just...congratulating Adora on her victory!"
Bow and Glimmer both gave her a deadpan look before switching over to Adora.
"Alright so who said it first?" Bow asked.
Adora smirked. "She did, while holding me in her arms. And then she kissed me while all of Etheria was hanging in the balance."
"Adora!" Catra yelled out, her blush at full power.
"That's so cute!" Bow exclaimed as Glimmer gave a squee of excitement and teleported to hug her friends.
Adora laughed and accepted the hug while Catra forced her way out and pointed an accusatory clawed finger at Adora.
"Excuse me? YOU kissed ME while all of Etheria hung in the balance." she exclaimed.
Adora felt her heart flutter at the way Catras voice changed pitch when she was nervous. "Don't act like you didn't love it." she replied.
Catra paused for a moment before casting her glance to the side and crossing her arms. "Yea, because I love you. You dork."
"THAT'S SO CUTE!" Bow and Glimmer yelled at the same time.
