It’s not what he wanted to hear in that moment of course, not the answer he was looking for, and he says as much just to let Patrick know that he is a little annoyed, but...
But he’s actually really fucking proud of him and he can barely keep that off his face.

Summary
Her suspicions are confirmed when another guy yells out "Yeah Cat, give her a big 'ole smooch!"
Oh. Adora swallows thickly, her eyes darting down to the brunette's lips. She's never thought about kissing a girl before—not seriously anyway—but now it's all she can think about. She bites her lip and tries to look blasé as she leans even closer to Catra. "Want to give them a show?" She whispers to the brunette. She's not sure what possesses her to ask Catra this but it's out there.
Catra looks like she's considering it, staring at Adora with a confused face. "I'm not gay," she clarifies with a raised eyebrow.
She shrugs her shoulders. Wanting to kiss Catra doesn't make her gay does it? "So? I'm not either. It's just a kiss." She pulls back a little, not wanting Catra to feel pressured. "We can go dance instead?" She provides the alternative, fully expecting her to take it.
Catra's lips are parted as she stares at Adora. It makes a rush of butterflies fill Adora's gut. The brunette slowly leans forward and then Adora is being kissed by a girl in a crowded bar.
OR
Catra and Adora explore their sexuality in college. Smut prompt: queer exploration. Accompanying one shot: (More Than) Just a Kiss.

'He’s not kissing me, but I can taste him. He’s not kissing me, but his tongue touches mine because I meet him halfway. He’s not kissing me, but I am kissing him.'
It's one thing to let yourself want the things you want, and another to let yourself have them. Draco does neither, but a lot can change in a single night.
