Chapter Text
Welcome to Germany!
As every morning, Adora was thrown out of bed by her twin brother Adam. But this time with good news. “ Adora! Get up, you have mail from Germany! ”
She had never jumped out of bed so quickly and took the letter from Adam. Adam looked over her shoulder as she opened the letter.
She quickly scanned what was in the letter. “ I have received confirmation that I can study history in Germany! ”-“ That's great Adora! We have to tell our mothers that! ”Adora nodded in agreement and ran down the stairs with Adam.
“ Mom! Hope! I received mail from Germany, the university there accepted my request! ”-“ Adora, that's wonderful news! ”Mara hugged Adora and smiled proudly at her. Hope also hugged her tightly and looked at her with a loving look.
In the months that followed, Adora was looking for an apartment in Germany, she found a flat share offer and contacted me. She was immediately accepted by a ' Miss Weaver '. Her family also helped financially by sending part of their facility there.
She's never been as nervous as she is now.
She no longer felt comfortable in her home country. Her best friend at the time was adopted from the home next door, lived here with her new mother for a short time and just moved away without telling her anything. 9 years have passed since then. Nine long years looking for her best friend.
She misses everything about her, the cute cat ears and the little tail that was always waving in anticipation near her.
Yes, her best friend was a hybrid, this was completely normal in her world. Humans and hybrids stick together in harmony. You were an example of this. As children they played a lot together, but then she was still different. Since the sudden disappearance of Catra, Adora has made a transformation. At that time Adora was still called Arthur Grayskull and for a few years she has been called Adora Grayskull, she is a trans woman and has been for eight years.
Your brother and family support the move. She has not even regretted her step and is happy to be that with whom she feels better.
___
Then the day came when she arrived in Germany. It was all new to her. She took a taxi to her new home.
There she knocked politely on the door.
A person with long brunette, wavy hair opens the door for her. Her cat-like ears were pointed back and two eyes of different colors meet her gray-blue eyes. The person looked at her a bit sleepily, it was just 8 a.m. in Germany.
“ Who is there? O-Oh are you the new roommate? ”-“ Y-yes exactly! I'm Adora and I've only been in Germany for a few minutes. “The Magicat woman nodded and moved away from the door.
Adora entered the apartment. This apartment was not far from the university and was closer to a shopping area. She looked at everything and was shown to her room. “ My previous roommate moved out after a disagreement. ”The tall blonde just nodded and stepped into her room.
It includes all of your furniture and was already furnished. “ D-Did you set that up? "The woman shrugged her shoulders. “ I wanted you to feel comfortable immediately and not have to move around a lot. ”
She looked at the Magicat woman in amazement and cleared her throat briefly. “ W-Well, if we're going to live here together, I'd like to introduce myself. ”-“ Go ahead, I'll start. I'm Elizabeth 'Catra' Weaver and I finished my studies here last year. I am now freelance and still need help with the rental. ”
Adora's blood freezes in the first second. The person standing in front of her in sweatpants and a sports bra was her best friend at the time, Catra. Her Catra was in Germany and is standing in front of her.
She couldn't let her show and pulled herself together. “ I-I am Adora Grayskull and I will start my history and sports studies here in a few weeks. Actually I come from Latin America. Nice to meet you Catra. "She held out her hand and Catra looked at her confused.
“ Latin America? I lived there too. But history and sport? It doesn't go together at all. ”Adora laughed and nodded. “ I know I get to hear it a lot. “The brunette looked at her with a smile. “ Well, you huge idiot, put your things in, I'll make breakfast. ”The blonde nodded and went into her room. She changed into something more comfortable and stuffed her things in the closets.
___
After she had finished changing, she went into the open plan living room and kitchen area. “ There is something like that in Germany too? ”-“ Such a structure? Rather seldom. Germans love to keep both things separate. Much too small kitchens and therefore large living rooms. They even have a small hallway before entering the apartment. It is really much better than in the USA or Latin America. The windows are also very interesting and instead of heated floors or ducts, there is a heater under the window. ”She points to the window with the spatula.
Adora went to the window and lifted the lever, frightened when she thought the window was coming towards her. Catra laughed in the kitchen and looked at her. “ That doesn't suit you, it's just tipped a little so that it doesn't open completely. "The blonde rubbed her neck in shame and looked at the heater. “ Really much different. ”
The Magicat woman set the table with Adora at the end and sat down together at the table.
She still can't believe that her former best friend is sitting in front of her. She's seeing her again after nine damn long years. In sweatpants and a sports bra.
She had really had to take her eyes off Catra. Catra has grown into a pretty woman in the nine years. But her face has also become a bit angular and she has gained quite a bit of muscle.
Not to forget, she has completely changed, she realizes that Catra would never recognize her again as she looks now.
Despite all these years, Catra still gets her crazy heart racing.
Catra looked at her confused. "What's wrong? Is anything bothering you? "She looked at her and shook her head, then swallowed her bite. “No, everything is okay. E-Ehm what actually brought you to Germany? ”
The brunette whipped her tail on the chair and looked at her plate. “ My adoptive mother didn't want me to waste my talent in Latin America and moved me to France first. There I finished my school and studies and then moved here to Germany. My adoptive mother was a tyrant and had torn many special people out of my life… ”Adora swallowed hard and even then looked at her plate. “ But now I feel better and I really hope I never have to see this woman again. ”She sighed long and gave a pained smile.
She just couldn't look her in the eye. After so many years, she didn't know about it.
Both finished breakfast and Adora jumped into sportswear. “ I'll go out briefly and jog a lap. ”-“ Wait for me, I'll come with you. Got to buy something for tonight anyway. ”The blonde nodded and waited at the door.
Together they went through the area. Catra explained everything to her as succinctly as she did then. Then they went home.
She was lying in her bed, staring at the corner. After so long, she meets her best friend again. Catra was different from then, more grown up and more mature. But also stiffer and more suspicious than usual.
“ I shouldn't worry about that…. After this week my studies will start… ”She sighed and lay on her side.
What will happen next?
