Hey this is Adora!
I'm so sorry I missed you, so please leave a message.
I promise I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

ugh typos

[swordsense]

[Adora straightens up and steps closer, eyes flaring just like her cheeks. Fine.]

I could kiss you. They'd eat that right up.

[Wouldn't they? Of course, she'd never have said that if she wasn't a little angry. Probably.]

1/?

[plentystrong]

[ Catra goes very still for a moment. Excuse you, her brain is kinda short-circuiting. ]

2/?

[plentystrong]

[ Kiss her. ]

3/5

[plentystrong]

[ KISS. HER!!! HOW VERY DARE! ]

4/5

[plentystrong]

[ And if there's a blush rising in Catra's cheeks, she will ignore that, because -- it's nothing.

It's not like she has an inkling where Adora's coming from, nope siree. ]

5/5

[plentystrong]

Did you hit your head somewhere?

[swordsense]

No.

[Adora folds her arms across her chest and advances another step.]

I saw the magazine. They think we're a couple. Or were.

[Really, that had been a bit of a shock, but she'd kept it to herself.]

They'd lap that right up, and you know it.

[plentystrong]

[ Catra just. Stares. ]

You wouldn't.

[swordsense]

Try me, Catra.

[She steps closer. Do you underestimate her power?]

[plentystrong]

[ Catra leans in, searching Adora's gaze. ]

Really? You'd do it just to get a rise out of me? Isn't that usually my thing?

[swordsense]

[Adora leans closer, stopping maybe six centimeters away from Catra's face.]

You think I won't when you challenge me like that?

[You started this, Catra...]

[plentystrong]

[ Another few seconds pass in which Catra holds Adora's gaze. Part of her wants to beat her to it, but the bigger part is curious whether she'll really go through with it. ]

Fine. Do it.

1/2

[swordsense]

Fine. I will!

[She closes the distance, grabbing Catra by both shoulders and pulling her close.]

2/3 I lied, it's 3

[swordsense]

[Then freezes...for about half a second, eyes widening as she continues to move her mouth closer.

She's...going to kiss Catra? Yes. Yes, she is going to kiss Catra...]

3/3

[swordsense]

[And then their lips meet. Adora tightens her grip slightly, holding on to Catra so she can't get out of this. She started it with a challenge like that, and so Adora is going to finish it.

It's not a great kiss, but it is her first, and presumably Catra's as well...so she lets it linger for a second or two before slowly pulling away and relinquishing her hold.]

There.

1/2

[plentystrong]

[ All muscles in Catra's body tense as she actually braces herself for the impact, and when Adora's lips meet hers, there's not much she can do beyond standing there, tail bristling.

And shit, she must've been watching too many movies at night, when everyone else in the house was asleep and she had nothing better to do, movies where there's always some people smashing their mouths together in ways that look honestly a bit uncomfortable -- because somehow, this is a let-down. It's a very perfunctory affair, just lips on lips, Adora's hands clamped on Catra's shoulders. What, had she expected fireworks?

Right. Adora's trying to prove something. Adora's trying to goad her. No other feelings here. ]

2/2

[plentystrong]

[ And just like that, it's over, and Catra's standing there, blinking. But her face quickly transforms into a scowl. ]

That sucked.

[swordsense]

[No other feelings might be a bit of a stretch, if the way her cheeks are flushed is an indication. Of course, they flare up a bit more when Catra scowls at her and...oh, of course, there's got to be an insult.]

It was the first time. Geez, as if you could do any better!

[Did she expect Adora to know any better than herself?]

[plentystrong]

[ ... challenge: accepted.

This is more familiar territory, so Catra gives Adora a half-lidded look, her voice taking on that soft, flirtatious tone she does, in fact, have perfected. ]

Wanna test that?

[swordsense]

If you're so confident, then, yes.

[Hit her with your best shot.]

[plentystrong]

Alright.

[ A smile, slow and almost sweet, as Catra reaches out a hand to gently carress Adora's cheek, before leaning in to brush her lips against Adora's.

She doesn't really know what she's doing, but has that ever stopped her?

Mind you, this is not a great kiss, either; it's clumsy, Catra's inexperience showing through. Nevertheless, she lingers for a little longer than Adora did, while trying her best to go for a soft, gentle kiss. After all, that's what she imagines Adora would like.

it's definitely not what she would like shut up ]

[swordsense]

[She doesn't necessarily know what she's doing, but Adora's fine with this too. She even leans into it some, kissing Catra back with gentle...slightly more self-assured movements. Now that the first time is done, and that's always awkward she's sure, she can relax some.

And she doesn't immediately pull back, instead choosing to leave the burden of that to Catra, her eyes beginning to drift between open and closed.

So, point Catra. This is better. But not perfect, no.]

[plentystrong]

[ Catra doesn't pull back, at least not immediately. Instead she presses closer, deepening the kiss. Warmth blooms in her chest and her cheeks feel like they are on fire while she tries not to dwell too much on how soft Adora's lips are.

So of course, she gets impatient and abandons all softness, going so far as to nip at Adora's lips a bit -- and oops, she forgot how sharp her fangs are! ]

[swordsense]

[The nip doesn't hurt as bad as it could. And it feels kind of good, in a weird way. So...rather than break away, Adora returns the favor. Gentler, and without the sharp prick of fangs, but she still catches Catra's lip with her teeth, tugging at it without really biting down too hard. That...might actually feel nice, she's not sure.]

[plentystrong]

[ Oh

that is

hmmm. Catra does not entirely mind that. Except she does. Not the sensation, that is nice. That's the problem with this -- everything about it feels very, very nice. Catra could get lost in it, could press ever closer and forget everything.

But right here, right now, she feels keenly that it would be like losing herself. It's something she's often felt, lately, when it comes to Adora.

So she breaks the kiss, batting her lashes at Adora in momentary confusion, then pushing her away while jumping back at the same time, hand coming up toward her mouth. ]

What... ?
