Chapter Text
Catra opened the door to her apartment, the beaten up door making a "squeak" as she pushed it. The brunette through her keys in the bowl next to the door and hung her coat and a makeshift coat rack. "Welcome home, Catra." The feline girl's roommate said from the dirty sofa. "How was your day?" Catra asked as she put her red sneakers up, no shoes allowed in the apartment, Adora's rule.
Adora took a swig of some cheap wine. "It was a day, you?"
"Work was stressful, but other than that...it was bad." The wild haired brunette plopped down next to the tall blonde. "I could...really used some comfort right now." Catra lowered her ears, blushing. "I have a idea on how we both can blow off some steam..." Adora turned, her face inches away from Catra's.
"And what is that?" The feline cooed.
Adora turned her head and shot off the sofa. "There's a new bar in town! I heard it is pretty cool."
"Eh?"
"Come on, Catra. When was the last time you went to a bar?"
Catra stared in silence for a second, averting her eyes from Adora.
"Exactly! It opens at 9pm! That gives us a hour to get ready." The blonde grabbed the brunette's hands and helped her up. "Come on! And who knows? You might find a special someone!"
Catra's ears lowered and mumbled. "Yeah...special someone..."
-1 and 30 minutes later-
The roommates arrived at a very neon club, and very packed.
Adora raised her arms in excitement. "This is it! Thanks again for coming with us, Lonnie."
"Are you kidding? I have had a absolute shit week, I jumped at this opportunity when you called."
The group of girls approached a large green lizard-humanoid who was apparently the bouncer. The girls gave him their ID's except for Catra, which earned her a growl from the bouncer. "Hey, Rogelio! What's up man?" Lonnie spoke up.
The lizard man growled.
"I know, I know. But this is her first time here, no one has to find out about her being only 20."
The lizard humanoid looked Catra up and down then let them through before Lonnie gave him a fist bump. "Thanks, man."
The girls walked into a neon room filled with music and exploding neon lights trailing around the room as if they were searching for something. 'This isn't so bad after all! This could be my chance to finally ask Adora out.' Catra thought, turning her head to face Adora.
"I'm gonna catch you guys later, that scorpian chick over there is sending me some serious signals." Lonnie left the two alone.
"Come on! Let's go to the bar!" Adora grabbed Catra and ushered her over to the crowded bar counter. It looked quite different from other counters, this one had a aquarium in it with neon lights at the bottom. Adora was about to order them a drink when a purple girl doused in glitter sat next to the blonde. She wore a leather jacket and shades as well as baring a sassy attitude. Catra couldn't hear what they were talking about until Adora said "Hey, let's go dance, see you Catra." Before leaving the brunette alone sitting at the bar. Catra twitched her eye in disbelief. 'Did she...just leave me for some short purple haired freak?!' She though and spun around to face the bar. "Whiskey, neat." Catra announced to the bartender without making eye contact. "Aren't you a little too y-"
"Are you dumb? Just do it idiot and maybe I'll tip you!" The bartender just shrugged and started to work on her Whiskey.
"Ouch...you're not playing are you, kitten?" Catra turned her head to face another lizard but this one was more slender and elegant. They wore a very shiny outfit but it had enough black in it to match the sequence. "You know, you really shouldn't be rude to the person who is handling your drink." They green haired lizard winked while they sipped their martini.
"Here ya go, ma'am." The bartender slid the Whiskey to the feline. "Thank you." The brunette sighed and swallowed it whole. "Another." She tapped her claw on the glass. "Whats got your fur in a bunch, kitty?" Double Trouble leaned their arm on the counter, now facing fully at Catra. "Don't call me that." She growled.
"Oh?" Their tail swirled. "Then what should I call you?"
"Catra."
"Ah! My name is Double Trouble!" They said that with pride. "Pleasure." Catra mumbled and took another giant gulp of the second whiskey. And then, out of the corner of her eye she saw Adora dancing very inappropriately with that sparkle girl. Catra clenched her drink, gritting her teeth.
