"I'm not the biggest fan of rock, but I do appreciate some songs." Perfuma said. "I'm more a fan of smooth jazz, I just like the sound of saxophones and trumpets."

"Bow what about you?" Adora asked, lifting her hand to start stroking Catra's hair.

"I don't listen to music all that much, but I love the harp." Bow said turning to Glimmer. "What about you Glimmer?"

"Bow, I just said I was into this punk rock band."

"Oh right."

"What about you Adora?" Glimmer said turning to Adora. The first thing that caught Glimmer's eye was just how close Adora held Catra.

"I'll listen to just about anything if it's good. But I am a huge fan of my wifes music." Adora said jostling Catra a little.

"Catra's music?" Glimmer asked.

"I play the bass and sing, it's not a big deal or anything." Catra said with a smile, on the inside she was just waiting for the right time to give Glimmer the shock of her being her favourite artist. Catra once again understood why you shouldn't meet your idols.

"You play the bass? That is so cool." Glimmer said, gripping the arm of the couch and leaning forward. "Do you have a band?"

"Sure do, just a few blocks down the street in my friends garage."

Adora shifted and lightly lifted Catra back onto the arm of the chair. "Hey, sorry about the space, we don't usually have this many people over, is anyone hungry?" Adora asked as she stood up. "I usually eat the moment I get home."

"It's no problem." Bow said.

"It's fine, I finished a bag of chips before you got home." Perfuma said.

"I just had lunch." Glimmer said.

Adora stopped making her way to the kitchen and turned around. "Aw what? You ate the chips?"

"She was a little high when she got here, I thought she could have the chips." Catra said as she sunk back into the chair, sitting up this time.

"That's fine, I can snack on something else then." Adora said as she started making her way back into the kitchen again.

"So Catra, your band, who else is in it?" Glimmer asked. Perfuma and Bow retreated into their own conversation. Perfuma was worried that she was being rude for eating snacks first thing when they got there. Bow was assuring her that she was not indeed rude.

"Three others, although, you know Entrapta right?" Catra asked.

"Yeah I met up with her just last week, she's been pretty busy ever since she got a class the size of a building to teach." Glimmer said, shaking her head, sorry for Entrapta. Entrapta however, was having the time of her life.

"She actually manages the band." Catra said with a small, 'really?' as a response from Glimmer. "Yeah, she's really good at it too."

"Okay, but what about the members besides you?" Glimmer asked, trying to get the topic back on track.

"Well there's me as lead singer, my sort of friend Kyle, and my other friend Scorpia on bass and background vocals." Catra started listing, she was cut off however when Glimmer did a double take.

"Entrapta's wife plays bass?" Glimmer asked shocked. "I didn't even know Scorpia was in a band."

"You know Scorpia?" Catra asked in disbelief. "Scorpia told me she only knew like five people."

"Well, no. I've never met her before. But Entrapta never shuts up about her. Entrapta mentions her out of the blue and has pictures in her wallet she shows to everyone she meets. She's always like, Hello, my name is Entrapta and these are pictures of my amazing wife, isn't she fascinating?!" Glimmer said, mimicking Entrapta's voice.

Scorpia, almost a dozen miles away shivered. "I think someone just made fun of my wife." Scorpia said shocked.

"That's Entrapta all right." Catra said with a chuckle. "And we got this punk teen on keyboard."

"A teen? How old is she?" Glimmer asked.

"Well she was eleven when she decided she was going to be a part of the band. But that was years ago. She's just never left."

"You had a kid join your band?" Glimmer asked, slightly confused.

"No, I did not have her join, that was her. If it was up to any one else she wouldn't have joined the band. We just couldn't get her to leave." Catra said, remembering when she first met Frosta with irritation on her face.

"Oh, who is she?"

"Her name is Frosta, she lives like a block away from where the garage we play in is." Catra said remembering more terrible memories of a twerp named Frosta.

"Frosta?! Seriously?" Glimmer exclaimed, shocking Catra a little.

"First of all, don't yell, there are people upstairs." Catra said sternly. "Second of all, you are in my home, you do not yell in my face."

"Sorry, but it's just, Frosta is in your band?" Glimmer said apologetically while avoiding the apology.

"What's so special about Frosta?"

"Her family is like super rich." Glimmer started. "They throw the biggest parties every year, only the other super rich people can get it unless you have an invite."

"Huh, maybe I can get in and take Adora to a fancy place for once." Catra said to herself.

"I'm sorry, we were talking about your band, do you guys have a name for it?" Glimmer asked, the question making Catra grow a smile on her face so devious and shit eating that she wish she could have it painted.

"You guys are finally getting along, great!" Adora said as she walked back into the room.

"Hey Adora, did you eat anything?" Glimmer asked, she couldn't hear any banging of pans while Adora was in there.

"Yeah, I had a muffin." Adora said as she tried to sit herself down next to Catra in the small chair. Catra was getting crushed a little, she didn't mind though.

"I didn't know we had muffins." Catra commented.

"I had a secret stash." Adora said with a smile.

"Not for long, I'm going to find it tomorrow." Catra continued with a smile.

"I said had, it's gone now sweetie." Adora said leaning over to kiss Catra on the forehead. Adora quickly regretted it as she leaned away sputtering. "Why don't I ever learn?" Adora asked herself as she tried to get rid of the feeling of hair on he tongue. The scene making Catra chuckle and made Glimmer feel slightly awkward. Glimmer would have said something to Bow but he was still busy talking to Perfuma about something. From what she could tell it had something to do with ferrets.

"Glimmer," Adora started. "would you like one of Catra's albums, we have plenty just collecting dust."

"Good idea." Catra said standing up from the chair and simply turned to grab her rooms doorknob.

"Um, sure I guess. What kind of music do you guys make?" Glimmer asked.

"Oh, nothing special." Catra said closing her door behind her. She actually found an album with the same cover as the shirt Glimmer was wearing almost the moment she opened the door. Catra walked over to Glimmer and handed her the case with a huge grin on her face.

Glimmer looked at the cover of the case for what felt like a long time. Long enough for Catra to sit down and start chuckling along with Adora who knew exactly what was going on. Glimmer stared at the cover for a long enough time for Bow and Perfuma to join in on the chuckling.

"You're kidding me right?" Was the first thing that Glimmer said when she finally looked up. Her comment only made everyone start laughing harder. "No. You have to be joking."

"What's wrong Glimmer?" Catra said, talking through her laughs. "I thought you were really into my band?" Glimmer hung her head and groaned.

"This is the worst. Why didn't you tell me Bow?"

"Why would Bow have to tell you?" Perfuma asked.

"I gave her the album as a birthday gift. I didn't tell her where I got it from." Bow explained. "Although now I'm glad I didn't, this is hilarious."

"Bow you jerk." Glimmer said punching Bow lightly.

"Wow Bow, maybe you aren't as innocent as I thought." Catra said.

"It's a little mean." Adora said with a smile.

"Bow definitely isn't innocent." Perfuma said with a smile. Quickly making Adora laugh and make Catra wince. "Oh, Catra I'm sorry, I keep forgetting you aren't comfortable with that kind of talk."

Adora kept a smile on her face but stopped laughing. "What's she talking about Catra?"

"Oh, she just said something I wasn't exactly comfortable with earlier. It's no biggie."

"Oh, so Perfuma gets a pass?" Glimmer said lifting her head back up.

"Perfuma wasn't hitting on my wife, there is a very huge difference." Catra said, almost snapping at Glimmer again. "How long were you guys planning on staying? I hope you weren't planning on staying for dinner, I don't think we have enough plates for everyone."

"You guys can stay as long as you guys want." Adora said. "As long as Glimmer can stay off Catra's kill list."

"That's nice and all but we do have to leave in a while, me and Perfuma have a reservation." Bow said.

"Another movie?" Catra asked.

"Home owners association meeting actually." Perfuma said, once again with a smile. "There was this issue with one of the houses on the blocks dog. Their dog almost mauled a kid and the law said it had to be put down, poor thing."

"That sounds terrible, was the dog bad?" Adora asked, feeling very sad for the dead dog.

"Oh totally, the dog was actually very violent to most people that wasn't it's owner, plus it was big so it was definitely dangerous. And it was just a family dog too, not a service dog." Perfuma said, keeping a grin but somehow sounder somber. "I'm pretty sure that the meeting is mainly about regulating the dogs in the neighborhood."

"Which might cause some serious problems." Bow spoke up. "Our neighbor happens to be a dog so I'm not sure if that's going to affect anything at the meeting."

"Does anyone else find it weird that most animals have a human like counterpart but humans don't have an animal like counterpart? I just think that's a very strange duality of this world." Catra said, causing everyone to look at her weird.

"Um, sweetheart?" Adora started, "You wouldn't happen to have eaten any catnip would you?"

"What? No, sorry. Bow was talking about their neighbor being a dog and it got me thinking." Catra said, readjusting herself in the chair.

"Speaking of Bow." Glimmer started. "Bow, do you remember what I told you in the ride over here?"

"Oh yeah, since we have to leave in a while we can just wait in the car for Glimmer." Bow said standing up. "She made it very clear she wanted a few minutes to talk to you two alone."

"I don't trust her though, probably another one of her half thought out plans or arguments." Perfuma said grabbing onto Bow's arms to help her stand up. "It was great meeting with you guys again!"

"You too!" Adora said standing up and hugging the shorter girl. "You should come over more often, maybe when we have more food though."

Perfuma let go of Adora and leaned back with a blush spread across her face. "You really did get tall Adora."

"You too Bow, come here!" Adora said as she half crushed Bow in her hug.

"Best friend squad!" Bow said like it was the name of club that he was a part of in high school and never let go of. "I see the weights are getting used."

"Bye guys, I'd get up put I'm not feeling too up to it right now." Catra said with a smile and a wave.

"You sure?" Perfuma asked dejectedly. "I have plenty of hugs for you."

"I think I'm going to stay sitting, I'll probably kick Glimmer out soon anyway."

"It was really good to see you again." Adora said opening the door for them as the two walked out the door. "Can't wait for the wedding."

And like that, the door closed, and the space of the apartment, felt dramatically like the joy left with them. The change in mood affected everyone in the room. Glimmer felt the weight of nervousness weigh down on her as she was the reason the two had left. Adora's smile slightly faded, as if being happy around so many people at once, even if one was her wife, was taxing on her. And Catra was already in a bad mood. Catra had been irritated about even letting Glimmer into her apartment, and now she was hosting her.

Catra loved Adora. There was nothing she wouldn't do for Adora. But in this moment, she blamed Adora for her being upset. Adora was the one making Catra even look in Glimmers direction without verbally assaulting her. All she had to do now was bear through whatever Glimmer had to say for Adora's sake. A few minutes was all, then the girl would leave.

"Glimmer?" Adora started, leaning against the door with a sigh. Looking as if she wanted Glimmer gone too if it meant not having to deal with anyone but Catra. "Is this something to do with work?"

"Um," Glimmer cleared her throat nervously, the tension of the room grew every second that she was out the door. "It's actually just a question for Catra."

"Then ask away. Then you can get out of here." Catra said, her voice reflecting how upset she was.

"Catra." Adora said shocked at Catra's tone. Catra only met Adora with a look of her eyes, a silent discussion happening under Glimmer's nose. Adora looked away and leaned back against the door, not realizing she had leaned forward in her reaction. "Fine."

Glimmer took a deep breath before speaking. "Okay, woo." She swallowed, and with a motion of her arms bracing herself and a hard shut of her eyes she was finally ready to ask her question. "Okay. Catra," Glimmer started, looking dead into Catra's eyes. "I would like your permission, to date Adora."

Okay, does this count as a cliffhanger? Listen, if you liked this story so far I would appreciate it if you comment, even if you think it adds nothing, you can comment anonymously too if you want. Also I plan to keep this story going for a while and I would like suggestions on what Catra and Adora should experience in their married lives. I know I'm going to write dates and just going to the store, mundane things like that, I'm just starting this out kind of heavy, you know? And don't ask for a back story chapter about Adora and Catra's wedding, that will not be happening unless they're telling it to someone. And also I'm not going to have them 'deal' with being gay, being gay is extremely mundane to any well adjusted person so it's not an 'issue'.
