Day 4 - What do you want?

This one was a hard one to write, but with a little help from Buff Anon I finally got the inspiration I needed

and I can’t believe I’m not writing smut with a prompt like this

Hope y’all enjoy it

~~~

Some days are just bad. That is just the reality of things, sometimes you just wake up in the morning and everything goes wrong from there. Your alarm doesn’t go off, you can’t catch the bus, your phone is dead so you can’t call a friend to pick you up and when you decide to walk to class it starts raining. Some days are just bad, and Glimmer had a terrible feeling hers wasn’t gonna get any better.

“Hey, Sparkles” A familiar voice called from behind her and she knew that feeling was right.

“What do you want, Catra!?” She nearly spat at Catra as she turned around.

“Hey, sorry I didn’t-” Catra tried to say something, but Glimmer really didn’t care for it right now.

“Look I don’t care what you meant. I seriously don’t have the time for your bullshit” Glimmer complained. She usually enjoyed the other girl’s company, but she was just too tiring to be around sometimes, and she didn’t need that today.

Before Catra could say another word, Glimmer stormed off. She had to get dry, get to what was left of her class and get so much work done. She couldn’t help but feel she was being too harsh on Catra, but at this point she already had so much to do that she just hoped she had the time to apologize to her later.

Of course, she had to arrive at her first class just as it was about to end, she hardly had the time to take any notes or even a picture of the black board, how was this day only getting worse?

“Hey, Glimmer!” Scorpia’s friendly voice greeted her “What happened? You look exhausted”

“Ugh, a lot happened” Glimmer groaned “If I knew I was gonna miss this class anyway I would’ve just stayed in bed”

“Hey, if it helps, I took pics of all my notes and the black board. I can send those your way” She suggested

“Scorpia, you’re a life saver!” Glimmer gave the larger woman a hug “Are you always this prepared?

“What can I say?” Scorpia looked away from her, weirdly “Gotta be ready to help your friends”

Glimmer wasn’t gonna question that. She simply thanked Scorpia a few more times and ran to her next class. As soon as she sat down and took her notebook out, she felt the adrenaline leave her body and with it an unexpected wave of sleepiness. She forgot to take her coffee this morning, of course this would happen now.

“Hello” Entrapta called, waking her up “You appear to be in need of some caffeine”

“What?” Glimmer asked feeling slow and confused

“Do you need a coffee?” Entrapta offered again, with two cups in hand.

“Oh wow, thank you very much” Glimmer grabbed a cup and chugged it as fast as she could “How did you know I would need it?”

“I didn’t actually” Entrapta explained “I always buy two, but since my usual partner didn’t show up today, I decided to share this with you”

“Entrapta, you’re just the best” Glimmer cheered “I owe you a coffee”

“That won’t be necessary. It’s better than letting it go to waste” She responded “Though the compliment is very much appreciated”

Now properly caffeinated Glimmer’s day was starting to work out. She had her notes, she was wide awake, and she had more than enough time now to plan out the rest of her day, like finding someone to have lunch with, charge her phone during her free period and apologize to Catra. Oh, that last one was gonna torture her all day.

Glimmer still wasn’t sure how she felt about Catra as a whole. Sometimes she was head over heels for the woman, sometimes she just wanted to strangle her in the unfun way. She was fun to be around, she cared a lot for her friends, they shared a very particular sense of humor and she was also very very hot. On the other hand, she was loud, obnoxious and had no respect for anything or anyone, also she probably had a thing for Adora so why even bother.

Of course, now that Glimmer treated her like complete shit this morning it didn’t even matter anymore as she knew how long Catra could hold a grudge and that probably killed any chances Glimmer had with her.

It only took a simple train of thought for her day to get worse again and now that she was gonna have lunch alone she knew she would spend the whole time torturing herself over this, but for the third time that day someone appeared to help.

As she was walking down the steps from her building, Adora stopped her bike right in front of her, tossed her a helmet and declared with a laugh “Get in, loser, we are gonna get some real food today” And once more Glimmer’s day was saved by a friend with incredible timing, but now she had started to grow suspicious

“What is happening here?” Glimmer asked

“I’m gonna give you a ride for a decent restaurant and we’re gonna enjoy a nice lunch together” Adora explained, with a smile

“Seriously, Adora” Glimmer demanded “First Scorpia, then Entrapta and now you. Two of you would be a nice coincidence, but three is pushing it”

“Fine” Adora sighed “Catra called me and told me you were having a bad day and that I should go have lunch with you, she also asked me not to mention this to you. She might have done the same with the other two”

“She did what?” Glimmer asked dumbfounded “I yelled at her this morning. I thought she would be mad at me”

“That you yelled at her?” Adora chuckled “I’m surprised she didn’t think you were flirting with her”

“Oh” The sound escaped her “Can we have lunch with her today?”

“We or you?” Adora asked, with the smile of someone who knew too much

“If you wouldn’t mind” Glimmer looked away, blushing

“Then hop on, princess” Adora declared “Swift Wind show deliver you to your beloved”

“Please never say those words again” Glimmer pleaded but hoped on her bike just the same.

As stupid as it was the bike was appropriately named and swift as the wind Adora had delivered by a little coffee shop just outside college grounds.

“Good luck, you two” Adora said, giving her a thumbs up “Go get her” and with that she rode off.

The place was modest and mostly empty, the clear exception being a girl with messy hair and mismatched eyes. Glimmer sat in front of her with no ceremony and called over a waitress.

“Sparkles, what you doing here?” Catra asked, confused

“Adora dropped me by” Before she could explain any further the waitress stopped by their table “I’ll have what she is having, thank you”

“What do you mean she dropped you by, I told her-” She cut herself short

“I know what you told her” Glimmer clarified “I just don’t know why the secrecy”

“I don’t want you to feel like I’m trying to get something out of you” Catra looked away as she spoke “I don’t like it when people think they owe me shit. It makes things difficult”

“Things like what?” Glimmer asked

“Doesn’t matter” Catra waved off “You had a shitty day and I wanted to help. You don’t owe me shit, so go have fun with your friends”

“That is exactly what I’m planning on doing” She declared “And that friend is you, you dumbass”

“I told you-” Catra started

“I’m not doing this as a favor, Catra, I’m doing this because I genuinely want to spend time with you” She interrupted “Is that so hard to believe?”

“Yeah” Catra answered without even thinking “I mean I know you have shit taste for fashion and music, but I didn’t know you had it for friends too”

“Look at me” Glimmer was so done with this self-deprecating bullshit “You are a fantastic friend and maybe even a great girlfriend too, so we’re gonna spend this afternoon together and it’s gonna be magical, do you understand?”

“Yes, ma’am” Catra answered with a laugh “I don’t think anyone asked me out like that before”

“I guess I have a unique charm” Glimmer played it off

“I guess so” Catra shook her head, but smile “Alright, Glim, what do you want to do?
