Adora is quiet, save for her own sniffles and the occasional hiccup, as Catra comes undone in her arms. She's here, she's got her, and in this moment Adora knows that's all she really has to be -- rocking Catra softly, trailing kisses across her hair and face, just. Here. Solid and steady.

It's all that Catra's ever needed from her.

"I love you, too," she says, and her chest feels lighter already, just hearing the words and saying them back. "And I'll be here to remind you of that, as many times as you need, so..." She slithers a hand between their bodies, under Catra's chin, to tilt her head up towards her. "Believe in me, okay?"

And she brings their lips together in a kiss, to seal that promise.
