Loyalty, honor, a willing heart, I can ask no more than that.

ways to show affection

When it comes to the way affection is shown, everyone has a different way they go about it. That means that there's a pretty good chance, with regards to couples, you could end up with two people who have two varying approaches towards how they prove they care...sometimes radically varying, which can lead to more than a little confusion or hurt feelings if there's not proper communication. But when both people are on the same page, they can tell each other how they feel with few words.

[ it's hard not to embrace the joy of hugs and cuddles when you're part of the best friend squad.

f/f for shipping. ]

[it's not exactly a hug, but draping your arm around your number 1 best person's shoulders and leaning bodily against them while you deftly steal whatever it was they were just about to eat counts as affection, in Catra's book.]

Thanks. [if she sounds smug, it's because she is. because this food was clearly meant for her, yes? this food that Adora had gotten for herself, and had been but two seconds away from chomping down on, definitely was procured for Catra.

except the taste does not sit well on her tongue at all, and she balks at the wash of the weird sticky-squelch against her teeth, fur bristling high as she immediately spits it back out and folds over with exaggerated gagging to scrape her tongue with the back of her free hand, dragging Adora down with her.] Ugh -- you were going to eat that? What's wrong with you?!

[true affection right here, people. ~~no wonder Adora never clued in to her crush.~~]

Wha-- Hey!

[ Adora doesn't manage to get the rest of her annoyed huff out before she's being dragged down, trying with a yelp to pull away before Catra ends up spitting any of it on her.

She puts a hand on Catra's face to push her away, but it's half-hearted. ]

Did you think that maybe I didn't offer it to you because I knew you wouldn't like it? And there's nothing wrong with me, you just have a weird tongue!

You have a weird tongue!

[She'd gag some more, but -- she kind of made her stomach roll and her eyes water by doing that. Being dramatic was maybe a bit of a bad plan. Story of Catra's life?

And how dare Adora push her face. Catra turns just so she can glare defiantly over the top of Adora's fingers, shoving at her wrist indignantly with her be-slobbered hand.] I can't believe you were going to put that thing in your mouth!

Eugh!

[ Adora lets go immediately, hand fleeing the slobber.

She huffs and gently shoulder checks Catra, rolling her eyes but clearly fighting a smile. ]

Eggplant's a vegetable, it's good for you!

[ It is also not usually eaten raw on its own, but no one told Adora this apparently. ]

It's gross. [How could you have done this to her, Adora. This is clearly all your fault, even if Catra's waving tail is at odds with the upset in her tone. ~~Also since when are eggs related to plants, aren't they supposed to come from animals.~~] You should be thanking me for saving you from it!

Should I? [ Adora fights a giggle, smirking before she leans forward to wrap her arms around Catra, pulling her obnoxiously close so she can't escape. ]

Oh Catra, thank you for saving me from the evil eggplant, you're my hero!

Edited 2020-06-26 03:43 (UTC)

[Oh well now she's just going to squirm to escape. Catra could be trying harder, but it's not until the heat rises in her cheeks that she actually presses a hand against Adora's face, shoving her away. She's not flustered, you're flustered.]

Yeah, well, you're welcome. Now get off me!

Mmm, nope. I don't think so.

[ She now has real cuddle privileges, what kind of girlfriend would she be if she didn't take advantage of them huh????

Adora releases her only enough to slide her arms around Catra's waist instead. ]

Mine now.

[Wasn't confessing just the worst thing Catra's ever done. Now Adora thinks Catra likes her.

--Which she does. But still. How Rude.]

Shut up. You're such an idiot. [Look. It's only because Adora clearly has the brute strength advantage here that Catra's no longer struggling to break her hold. Even though it's like, not even a grip any more, and is in fact more like a hug. Which theoretically would be much easier to escape from.

And it's just more comfortable, okay, to drape one arm across Adora's shoulders and wrap the other around her back. Don't read into it.] I don't think you know how bad that thing really was. I bet you don't even know what it actually is.

[Because no way it's called an egg plant, no way is it an edible food item, and no way would anyone willingly chew on that mess. That's just a bad lie all around.]

Edited 2020-06-26 05:12 (UTC)

...Okay, so maybe I've never actually had it before. But I was trying it!

[ Victory! Adora relaxes into the hug, totally not smugly content. ]

Maybe next time you'll think twice before stealing my food, brat.

[Will Catra learn from this mistake? Not bloody likely. Catch her at dinner swiping bits from Adora's plate.

And catch her right now, screwing up her face in disagreement. The problem isn't her helping herself to Adora's food, the problem is Adora's choices in that food.]

Stop trying to eat weird stuff.

[ pls don't be mean to minnie, but otherwise ota! ]

[F/F for shipping, OTA for gen. You know she's mean. If you're really lucky, she might slide a subtle and back-handed compliment your way. She cares, honest.]
