Adora's pov

I wake up and can feel Catra on the end of my bed, like always. I smile fondly and blink over at the digital clock on my nightstand. It's nearly one o'clock. How could I have possibly slept so late? Must have been the late night texting. Speaking of which, my phone's alight with about a zillion notifications. I'll look at those later. I sit up, closing my eyes and stretching for a moment. When I open my eyes, I see Catra looking at me as if she's been patiently waiting for me to wake up. I smile as I lower my arms, yawning softly.

"Good morning, beautiful."

She gives a pained smile before nodding in the slightest and averting her gaze to the mattress as she fumbles with the fabric of my comforter. I frown, scooting closer to rest a hand atop her shoulder.

"Hey,"

Catra looks up at me, hurt in her eyes, though I don't understand why. Have I done something? I look at her worriedly.

"What's wrong..?"

She bites her lip, hesitating. I squeeze her shoulder slightly, trying to reassure her(still with no clue what the heck is wrong).

Catra inhales shakily before closing her eyes, swallowing.

"Why didn't you tell me what happened with Glimmer after I saw you that night?"

I blink, frowning more and racking my mind. What happened with Glimmer...? I can't really remember anything other than a conversation with Glimmer herself.. She said--oH no. Damn it, Adora, what the hell are you even doing in your life?

"If I had to guess, probably because I couldn't remember any of it? And because we weren't together yet? It's old news."

She snaps her eyes open, stricken with more hurt.

"So everyone else already knew except for me? I'm the last to find out?"

I immediately regret opening my mouth. But if I would've stayed silent it would be just as bad. There's no getting away from her hurt feelings. Even though we weren't together when it happened?

"Well.. no.. just that Kyle and Bow and Scorpia and Entrapta know, along with probably Perfuma and the rest of the princesses.. Possibly Lonnie and Rogelio.."

"That's exactly what it is! I'm the very last person to know you made out with Glimmer just hours after seeing me. I knew it. And then, what, the very next day? You make your move on me as soon as you're back at the Horde! You're nothing but a girl who hops from lover to lover, and poor Glimmer didn't even last a day!"

She's speaking harshly now, gesturing wildly. I take my hand off of her shoulder slowly, crestfallen at her words. That quickly turns to anger, though.

"You're calling me a slut?! I was drunk! And, mind you, I haven't had sex with anyone! Hello? Do I look like someone who's lost her virginity?"

Catra throws her hands up.

"I don't know what to believe! Glimmer shows up to tell me all this shit because she caught wind of us dating, and now I'm thinking that all of this was one big lie. A joke! That's all I've ever been! One big huge joke!"

I feel tears rising to fill my eyes and struggle to gather words.

"Catra, I was drunk and we weren't together. You're not a joke--"

She cuts me off, standing up abruptly.

"No. It's all I am. And I know we weren't together, but you could have at least gathered your memory somewhat to gather the courage to tell me whether or not you were settling for me instead of some princess who is clearly the better option."

And with that, she storms out. I break down as soon as she's gone, falling back and laying against my pillows as I curl up into a ball.
Is this the end of something that was just beginning?

Catra's pov

I storm out, furiously swiping at consistent tears as I head down the hall to see Entrapta and Scorpia before I break something. They'll be able to calm me down. 

But, when I get to the door, only Scorpia is inside, sitting against the wall and staring at the floor, looking a little spaced out. I hesitantly walk to her, sniffling  as I slide down to a sitting position next to her.

"Where's Entrapta?"

"Beats me. She mentioned something about Kyle and Perfuma before running out. Said that Bow called her in tears."

Kyle's pov

I'm on my bed, listening to music as I carefully organize my books on their shelves, when Entrapta bursts in, immediately drowning out sweet Brendon's voice as she goes crashing into my bed with a loud clang. She immediately stumbles to her feet and hurries over as I'm just able to make out a few lyrics of DOAB before she's shaking me by the shoulders urgently.

"Entrapta, what a pleasure, always--"

I start before my brain is rattled from the force of her hair-hands ?? whipping me backwards and forward. I immediately grab her and force her to calm down so I can actually make out her face instead of seeing four at a time.

"Okay, calm down an--"

"Bow cheated!"

She suddenly bursts out. I blink, confused for a moment. She bites her lip and raises her eyebrows as if to point out the obvious way she's saying this.

"On me?"

Her nod confirms this.

"Wh--How did he-- who told you this?"

She tears up and flops down onto the floor against the wall, burying her face in her hands and sighing. When she looks up, nothing but sadness is in her gaze.

"Perfuma. She called me herself to confess."
