"Catra, I love you, you know that right?" Adora asked the half sleeping cat. The sun was just starting to come up and both of them still felt like they could sleep for a few more hours. Catra had only barely been moving, at most flexing her fingers and yawning.

"Yeah." Catra said through a yawn. She didn't really know what had brought on what Adora said. Catra started considering reasons she might have to get out of bed, none of them seemed good enough so far.

"Good." Adora said with a smirk before cutting the cheese.

"Gross Adora." Catra said as she quickly moved off of Adora and almost fell off the bed.

"Not sorry." Adora said. Adora sluggishly sat up and moved herself until she was sitting on the side of the bed. She rubbed her eyes trying to get used to the lack of light in the room. "What day is it?"

"Uh," Catra forced out a yawn and stretched before moving over to Adora. Catra tried hugging Adora and quickly found she couldn't from that angle and decided to just rest her head against Adora's butt. "Thursday, I think."

"I have to work today." Adora groaned. "I wish I could stay in pajama's all day."

"I don't, I'd rather-" Catra started.

"I know, Catra." Adora said before standing up and stretching. "Do you want to have breakfast together?"

"No, not today." Catra said before rolling back over and curling up. "Love you though, have a good day at work."

"Love you too." Adora said as she walked over to their rooms door. "And we have Perfuma and Bow coming over, can you clean the place up a little?"

"Don't forget Glimmer." Catra said with a groan.

"Bow didn't say anything about Glimmer coming over." Adora said, grabbing the shirt hanging on the door.

"If Bow's coming then that means Glimmer is coming too, even when married that girl is attached to his hip." Catra said rolling over again to look at Adora. "And it's like six, you have another hour, come back to bed."

"Oh,"Adora said as she started back towards the bed, carrying the shirt in her hands. "I'd love to come back to bed Catra, but I have to go in early today, remember? I told you this yesterday." Adora sat on the edge of the bed and took off her pajama shirt.

"Fine, are you sure Bow and Perfuma are coming over today?" Catra asked again.

"Yes, Could you help me with my hair?" Adora asked grabbing a brush and a band from a nearby stand and handing them to Catra. Catra grabbed the brush and band with a groan and sat up reluctantly.

"I just don't want Bow coming over here so often." Catra said as she grabbed Adora's hair and started brushing. "Bow is cool and all, but where he goes Glimmer goes."

"I know you don't like Glimmer but could you at least pretend if she comes over, she is my boss after all." Adora said with a sigh, rolling her shoulder until she heard a pop.

"Your boss that also happens to have a huge thing for you. I think me not liking her is completely justified." Catra said with another yawn making her more awake. "I think I will have breakfast with you."

"So she has a thing for me, I told her it wasn't going to happen unless you said it was okay and that was that. She hasn't bugged me about it." Adora said, rolling her other shoulder.

"Doesn't mean I have to like her, I just have to be nice to her." Catra mumbled. "Why do you have to go to work early again?" Catra asked, grabbing Adora's long hair trying to put it through the small band. "Not that I wasn't getting lost in your eyes last night and didn't hear a word you said, but that's what happened."

Adora groaned before answering. "Some parents want to set up a table for a fund raiser their kids are having at school. Which means I have to get there early so I can finish the work I would have had done in a normal day so that I can deal with them." Adora said slipping her sweatpants off as she sat. "Best part is I probably will have to tell them to leave for some reason or another and I'll have to deal with that mess."

"Done." Catra said. "You need to get your hair cut."

Adora, in response, lifted her hand to feel the sides of her head. "I guess you're right."

"I'm not talking about the first and third part of your empty skull, I mean your long hair, the undercut is fine." Catra said shuffling until she was sitting next to Adora. "Come on pants-less stranger, can't you call into work sick or something?"

"Catra, people call into me sick, I can't call myself. Where are my work pants?" Adora asked standing up.

"In the dirty bin." Catra said with a sigh.

"Aren't they supposed to be clean?" Adora asked as she opened the door next to the foot of the bed and knelt down.

"I was going to do laundry today, yesterday was busy for me." Catra said looking at Adora sifting through dirty clothes. Catra was focusing on how Adora's ponytail almost hit the floor. "You really should get your hair cut."

"I'm not doing that." Adora said as she pulled out the pair of pants she was looking for. "Unless you shave."

"Adora, sweetheart, person that I love with all my heart, I'm a cat, I shed, I'm not shaving." Catra said as she stood up from the bed. All Catra needed right now was a big shirt, which luckily for her, was Adora's entire wardrobe. Catra didn't actually have to be awake for a few hours.

"Fine. Aren't you cold though? You're just wearing underwear, you didn't even sleep under the blanket." Adora asked as she put on her pants.

"I don't get cold because I'm hot."

"Catra, it's too early for jokes like that." Adora said with a slight groan.

"Fine, when are Perfuma and them coming?" Catra asked as she grabbed the large t-shirt that Adora had been wearing off the floor.

"Sometime around three, before I get home." Adora said. "And could you also clean up around here before you start working? I don't want them to think that we're messy."

"But we are messy, and most of this mess is yours." Catra said, receiving a glare from Adora as a response. "Yeah I'll clean. Why are they even coming over anyway?"

"They just want to come over and hang out. You know, like what Sea Hawk and Mermista did last month?" Adora said as she opened the door and walked out into the living room. It was nice having a small three roomed apartment. "Only difference is this time we won't be babysitting their kids."

Catra followed Adora out the door, giving Adora a light tap on the ass as she passed. "That's because Bow and Perfuma don't have kids. I'm making ramen, you want some?"

"Thanks, sure." Adora answered. "What if that's why they wanted to come over?"

"I doubt that Adora, bow is too much of a worrywart to have a kid without doing loads of research on it first. He'd probably have a kid with Entrapta as a test run first."

"Catra." Adora said in a shocked voice. "Bow would never cheat." Adora went back to her normal voice. "Entrapta would totally be down for that though."

"Yep." Catra said as she started boiling some water. Adora watched and felt the need to speak up.

"Just put the ramen in now." Adora said.

"No, the instructions say to put the ramen in when the water is boiling." Catra said holding up a package of ramen.

"But you could just put them in now and it wouldn't change anything." Adora said pleading.

"It's just ramen Adora, it's not the end of the world if I just follow the instructions on the package."

"Fine." Adora said before sitting on the couch. "A watched pot never boils you know."

"That is a bold faced lie." Catra said, continuing to watch the pot of water.

They stayed like that for a while. Catra watching the water and Adora sitting on the couch, so comfortable she wasn't sure if she hadn't actually been floating in space for the last two minutes.

"Hey Adora?" Catra called out from the kitchen.

"Yeah Catra?"

"I think we should talk about something."
