The visage nodded, "Fair... granted he is torn up about his interaction with Cherry, we could probably check today's early memories but considering how everything is going at the moment, it's probably gonna take a while to actually find him so the more we linger the worse its gonna get when we actually get to him."
"Yea... mmm, let's go this way." Human Steven replied pushing open a new walk way in through a decaying wall, and turned to Eris, and gently pulled her away from the inky pools in a protective manor as if she were an infant about to stick a fork into a light socket. "Eris, let's just stay away from the inky black goo please... I don't want you to get pulled down too."
Classic Steven looked over between them, seeing no change and letting out a soft sigh as he watched on to make sure no one would interrupt what was going on between them, worried about how everything was going.

It seemed like all was going well, people were being evacuated from the town by Nanafua and other gems from Little Homeworld.
Rose was wearing Gem Steven's casual clothing, while headbanging to some really old rock music that Greg had on hand. He had figured she was distracted enough for him to slink away and use the bathroom.
Human Steven and Spinel emerged from the house, the words were muted and mumbled as the music played over them as the pair passed by, the track had soon ended.
Rose stretched out. "That was so fucking fun, Greg... If the world wasn't in danger, I would really like to stay longer." She paused and looked around seeing as Greg was no longer by her side. She hopped out of the van curious as to where that funny little musically talented human went off to... he soon wandered from the house back up toward where the injector was, her eyes had zeroed in on Human Steven and Spinel talking yet Spinel didn't look like the bubbly self she had been nearly all day, she was taller, she was spiker, she looked dangerous. Rose had that spark of worry, and of course taking her sword she leapt into action without a second thought.
However, while Human Steven was talking with Spinel, he didn't get enough time to react or to stop Rose from slicing her in half in front of him. Rose looked over worry in her eyes. "Are you ok? She didn't hurt you, did she?"
Human Steven twitched, looking at Spinel's gem then looked at Rose's worried face, and his immediate reaction was anger, and lost of it, like finally a dam had broken after all these years. "OK? OK?? I WAS THIS CLOSE TO FIXING THIS WHOLE MESS!!"
Rose seemed surprised by the other's volume. Human Steven continued, "I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF YEARS OF YOU AND THE GEMS ALWAYS PUTTING ME IN THE SIDELINES BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE THE POWERS AND YOU ALL THINK I'M SO GOD DAMN FRAGILE. I AM NOT THAT SICK LITTLE KID ANY MORE. I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS WHOLE MESS BY MYSELF WITHOUT THE GEMS,... WITHOUT MY BROTHER AND NOW, YOU THINK YOU'RE HELPING BY POOFING THE ONLY PERSON, WHO COULD HAVE REVERSED THIS WHOLE MESS!" Human Steven yelled back his cheeks glowing a slight pink, his eyes changing to pink with white star shaped pupils.
"OH WAIT, I FORGOT YOU DON'T THINK BEFORE YOU ACT, YOU NEVER HAVE... YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU WANT ALL THE TIME AND THE GEMS JUST LET YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE A DIAMOND AND THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY SAY NO TO YOU..." Human Steven huffed, some tears falling from his cheeks, landing on the dying ground and making roots that grabbed around his ankle.
"Why don't you just leave? I can handle this mess, besides my brother and I have always had to deal with cleaning up every mess you made... why should now be any different?" His voice was uncharacteristically dark, cold and distant.
Rose was quiet before she turned away from him to leave him with dealing with Gem she thought was danerous... she traveled slow as she reflected on what had happened, pausing to turn around to see if Human Steven was still upset with her.
Human Steven was turned away from her, his eyes following Spinel's gem as it reformed on front of him. He started with an apology for Rose's actions explaining that it was only an accident and that she didn't know any better. However, Spinel wasn't so easily swayed this time around, she barked back with theories about how he just wanted to use her to fix the damage the injector caused and then poof her again and send her away again to be all alone again!
Human Steven tried to get her to see reason, only for her to kick him in the face, and bounce onto the top of the injector. Rose was watching this interaction go on, a thought came to mind of how she should help him, but then she remembered how he had yelled at her for helping before... that she would only make it worse.
But something had sparked in Rose's mind seeing the pink glowing goo, the sparkle of the gem in the distance and Human Steven struggling to move. It flashed part of their childhood in their mind, specifically their fight against a Corrupted Nephrite.
Rose's gem glowed and she ran back at human Steven at full speed, her form glowing entirely pink before Gem Steven formed back in his proper form before tackling his brother out of the way and forming Steven Squared once again.
The fusion having a brief moment of glee as they realized that Gem Steven was back to being himself again before they summoned a shield to protect them from the explosion of goo that was terraforming the landscape, sitting on the water like a thick oil, melting the terrain.
Then it all went down hill from there. The two began fighting, only for Steven Squared to keep getting his ass handed to him, over and over again before Connie had joined in the fight. Things looked up until Connie was sliced in half in front of the fusion.
That sinister bone chilling laugh was in the air. It even sounded like it was doubled. It was all going wrong... Steven Squared was being mocked for his feelings over what Spinel had called another meaningless broken toy and the fusion's tears had caused a cacoon of vines to envelope the fusion while Spinel continued to laugh and laugh.
Meanwhile, the real Gem Steven was fighting off the mental manifestation of all his guilt of what happened to Earth, he looked like he was still going through the ringer, his skin a dark pink, his wings and horns fully sprouted it had looked far worse than it did on the surface. The horrid cackling of this gem was echoing through out his mind, cracking the ground more and more around him.
Raspberry Tart couldn't focus past all the negative energy that was concentrated into this one moment of the memory. A loud beastial ROAR was heard breaking through all the laughter as the cocooned figure broke through its bonds, revealing Mega Steven.
"Yea, yea, that's understandable, Classic's the same way." Raspberry Tart replied. "Granted Classic has never seen him poof before, he'd probably have the same thoughts in his little teen brain."
Raspberry Tart looked over, "I'm glad you'll try to not get so panicky about seeing Pink, but remember she's only gonna be like this until the concert later in the memory... then you'll get to see Rose... who I'd think you're probably have the same ammount of problems with...." he sighed. "I'll stay by your side ok..."

Human's own belly was glowing where his gemstone would be, his eyes glowing a bright pink showcasing white star pupils as they conversed as they talked and danced. His voice replying. "Gem Steven has only poofed once in his life and that was from a ... really bad cut... and there was that drink too but he was fine... he's too stressed to let himself get overwhelmed by stress because he worries about everyone if he were to just be poofed... " before a voice came from their mouth he did not recognize.
He looked down examining their new form through the fusions eyes, using the two extra arms. "... ok we fused... this is .. new i mean not really new to me I've fused plenty of times... I mean usually with Gem or with Connie... and the gems a handful of times and even classic on occasion, but like this is new new... like woah.... we should look at a mirror right? Like I wanna see what we look like, do you wanna see what we look like... are we going to even fit in the house?"

Human Steven had a bead of sweat drip from his temple down the side of his cheek. He was afraid she would have mentioned that alternative. He tried to make it seem like he wasn't already over whelmed by the very thought of screwing up such a simple task to most people but he could already feel the nausea welling up in his core, nearly to the point he could smell the phantom scent of hair dye and hear the screams of the teenage girl screaming that some how he had turned her hair some sort of disgusting shade of chartreuse, or he caused her her hair fell out because he did something wrong.
The human's face started turning a slight pink around the cheeks and the bridge of his nose glowing a bit around the edges and in his eyes that seemed to have a 1000 yard stare. He knew that Eris has been through it while she was away and she was seemingly comfortable at home, but the looming threat of him messing it all up felt ever present even when Eris didn't seem like she wanted to leave, but she didn't seem like she wanted to leave before but she still did. As she mentioned that he was held up here in his room it reminded him that they were very much having a conversation.
Tumblr media
He let out a nervous chuckle. "Right, right. Of course... dying hair at home is the cheaper option compared to having a professional hair stylist do it." He was having trouble trying to hide his stress about the whole thing. "Let's tackle the whole food situation first though, then we can get to your hair situation... if that's ok..." "maybe Gem Steven will be home by then and he could take care of it, or maybe Connie could... but then again I don't wanna rub the fact she lost her romantic partner when mine also died but she's pink." Human Steven thought the last part to himself.

Classic and Human Steven where sleeping upstairs while Gem Steven was having a gaming session upstairs with his headphones on his only focus was on the game and nothing else.
The sound of the door being kicked open made Classic Steven opened his eyes and looked around his room for anything that while while Human Steven was sleeping peacefully used to the noises that his brother made while he was gaming at his desk in the same room.
The sound of metal pipes hitting the ground startled Classic Steven before hearing Eris' voice and taking a moment to breath. He took his phone and shut off his alarm. While Human Steven mumbled to Gem to turn down the noises on his game while still sleeping. Gem Steven on the other hand wasn't phased at all by any other noises other than the ones from his game, he had a personal mission and nothing was going to deter him from his goals.
Classic Steven slowly got dressed and head downstairs to greet Eris. "Hey Eris, nice seeing you again... have fun on your trip*? You do realize that most people are still sleeping around this hour right?" He asked as he went to go make some coffee, pouring himself a cop and offered Eris on as well as he mixed sugar, some flavored creamer and milk into his drink.
There was a loud bang against the Universe household’s door as a woman kicked it open with an arm filled with a bag that was currently spilling metal rods all over the boardwalk floors with a loud ‘thud!’ Which was alarming to hear first thing in the morning but apparently the woman (culprit in question) seemed to pay it no mind.. forcing a ‘o’ around her hands as she shouted.
“WHO’S READY TO GO ON A CAMPING TRIP!!!!”

Human Steven didn't think, he just moved. He rushed to Spinel's aid, summoning a shield out of thin air, and slammed the anon away from Spinel. The shield making a clanking noise as it made contact with the anonymous creature. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the visage of a humanoid form with sunshade disapate in a puff of smoke, with no gem left behind.
Human Steven was solely focused on trying to get Spinel to stop hurting herself. His first instinct was to block her hands from her gem. He held her wrists with a firm grip bubbling their hands together on both sides so she couldn't stretch them to summon anything from her gem to hurt herself with.
"Spinel, I know we haven't exactly formally met yet, nor is this exactly the scenario I would have seen myself in seeing another Spinel... But please don't hurt yourself." Human Steven replied, putting aside all his own feelings in an effort of trying to comfort this Spinel.
"I know that some people might get under your skin and say the things that confirm those nasty thoughts we feel about ourself... they have no idea who you are, and they have no right to say those things about you." He replied.

The doting father was happily cooking up blueberry pancakes for his three kids. His long locks tied back by a sparkly scrunchie that looked like it was made from the cosmos itself. He hummed out a tune as he served up three plates of blueberry pancakes, one for each of his kids, while he had the reject/sacrifice pile of pancakes deemed not perfect enough for his children.
The father heard the revving of a motorcycle and saw the irritated calico cats coming down the stairs. A slight grimace on formed on the 5 o'clock shadow on the mans face, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his bangs as he moves to cut up fresh fruit. It seemed inconsiderate for someone to be revving a motorcycle at 6am. But his mood seemed to brighten seeing his daughter come down the stairs from her room. "Good morning, Princess." He said with a warm smile setting out the warm steaming tower of pancakes. "I made blueberry pancakes... come and get them while they are nice and hot, syrups on the side, whip creams in the fridge, if you want ice cream I think we have a couple scoops of vanilla left."
Stephen was working on a whole slew of assignments ranging from math to science, to art to music, to after school activities he was trying to schedule his life around. He mumbled something along the lines of needing 5 more minutes to finish what he was doing before feeling the unseen gaze of their father before he let out a soft groan. "I know... what you're about to say." "Working hard is important, but feeling good is important to, so settle down with the work and enjoy time with your family." The both of them said in unison, before Stephen shoved a large pancake into his mouth, muffling the words "happy now?" He chuckled and ruffled his sons hair before looking over toward Stevie, and the mysterious person at the door. The man's parental instincts rang out as this leather jacket wearing woman just spelled trouble the moment she stepped a foot into the door with her
Stevie was in a whirlwind of emotions. He didn't like lying to their dad, but he made a promise to his sister to keep her out of trouble. He heard his father's tone and maybe he didn't notice that Nora's nighttime friend was over, but in his panic, he didn't think to tell her to go away and come back later, he blurted out. "Nope. Never met anyone named Nora... there's no Nora's around here.... nope, not here, she's been dead for 5 years... goodbye." He replied before getting startled by the smooch on the cheek, and before he could ask anything, suddenly there father was behind Stevie.
"Excuse me... where do you think you're going Mrs. Demayo." He replied gently holding her shoulder then turning her to face him. His eyes still hidden in the shadows. Nora, who is this?" His tone caried the cadence of an understandably worried father, wondering what his sweet daughter was doing with someone who screamed every father's worst nightmare.

"Yes, Human Steven is the vice principal of Little Homeschool's program. He needs his rest and he needs to eat. I wish he didn't have to put more responsibilities on himself, but this is how he takes a little control of his life, and that's making sure this program runs smoothly." Gem Steven replied, as he cooked, hearing the sizzling calming his soul, as well as the pitter-pattering of feet slowly creeping down the stairs. The soft yawns echoing through the hallway, it made him feel a little better about the conversation. "Sometimes all we need to have in life is a little control... I have my own methods of escapism to give me a little control... I've got my games, and I've got mom's room... to help me go over things so I know that they are in fact my fault or not... because sometimes things bother me a little more than they do everyone else... and I know that's a me thing..."
"The fact that it happened once is already troubling... but maybe, you're right about this, maybe it is a different Lapis... and I'm just overthinking things as I am one to do... but I know for a fact, there is a fine line between lying and choosing not to say anything because they can't or they deem it as unimportant, from experience..." Gem Steven replied, he wanted to reassure her that this was coming from a place of worry and concern for her safety but he feels like constantly reminding her would make her sick of him. The boys finally round the corner.
Tumblr media
"AaaaaaaaaHHHHHnnnnmmmm... Good morning Gem." Classic Steven said with a sleepy filled yawn as he slowly headed down the stairs, his eyes waking a little more seeing Eris, and waved back with a sleepy wave and warm smile.
Tumblr media
"Good morning... you seemed like things were getting heated earlier in the conversation... you both doing alright?" Human Steven asked, as Gem Steven nodded simply in response lovingly making stuffing for the ravioli that he was making on the floured counter top, before gently putting them into a pot of boiling water.
"Yep, just catching up on Eris' time away from home for the last three days... very eventful... very troubling to her poor older brother." He replied with a playful overdramatic huff, before his mood swung back to being annoyed at the sight of that cursed substance, but said nothing since he didn't need to reprimand his brother right that instant since he say that he took it, and started carrying it over to the rest of his stash. "Thank you, Eris. I appreciate it."
"It wasn't a matter of rather Cherry forgave me... I am grateful you all do... it was just I don't forgive myself as easily...--" He stared at her offended.
Tumblr media
"I DO NOT HAVE A LAZULIPHOBIA... I literally said through the entire conversation how I didn't like ONE LAPISS... I will admit that my experience with her isn't the most pleasant... and my brother's know how I can be with new people... so forgive me for being worried that you might have been with the one fucking lapiss that I despise because of how she has treated my family and my friends thus far... but it sounds like you're the one afraid that I'll forbid you from seeing her, like I'm some father from a super relatable sitcom, who's forbidding his one and only daughter out of his family of all boys since his wife is gone... is she dead, did she divorce him and leave him with the kids cause they were cramping her indepentant live style of drinking and partying with strangers because waking up to one man for the rest of her live is too fucking mundane for this bitch of a woman to ever want to have in her life... and he's left to raise two sons and daughter on his lonesome so he's even more worried that his only little girl is going to get hurt in that big scary unforgiving world and it'd be all his fault because he cares too much and ended up pushing her right into the dangerous, oncoming traffic of teenage hormones in the form of a bad boy, leather jacket wearing, dickhead archetype with dyed blond hair and kissable lips, who make you feel so special in the moment but so fucking stupid after it all comes crashing down around you. Who wears all the red flags imaginable on their sleeve to everyone else but to this teenage boy in the whirlwind of emotions and hormones that is puberty, all those red flags... just seem like shiny neat quirks on this cool and chill persona, who's only gonna end up breaking your heart the longer you watch this trainwreck of relationship go on because you know that never had any substance to begin with..." He huffed, his face twisting into a grimace as if he felt that personally. "But still you watch because it's just a show and the little people on tv can't fucking hear you scream he's gonna break your heart for that new more attractive looking toy on the shelf." He brushes his fingers through his hair and takes a breather.
Tumblr media
"Like I said before, I don't have trouble trusting you to know what's right from wrong, it's just the company you choose to keep is what I question... same goes for this dork over here." Gem Steven replied as he gestures to Classic Steven. "So if there's this big announcement can it at least wait until after today... I don't think I can handle any big things other than you three and your birthdays... for once I actually want to relax and spend the day, not doing party prep... I know big shocker, Gem Steven wants to have a good time on the day that makes him feel like the worst person on the face of this timeline... but god forbid I have strong feelings, if I could turn them off I would but good god I can't turn them off even if I wanted to... I can pretend nothing bothers me, but you all would know there's something wrong..." He chuckled through his tears, before looking over.
Tumblr media
"Why are you all silently staring at me... am I becoming incoherent and corrupting??" Gem Steven asked before Human Steven spoke gently. "No we were all just listening, and I'd like to tell you the pot of water is about to boil over." Gem Steven quickly refocused on his cooking, and whipped up the food in a lovely display of his cooking skills. "Right... right... I'm feeling a lot better now that I am no longer a dam waiting to burst... but seriously... I think we need just like one god damn day where things don't go down the toilet from minute one... please..."

Blueberry Pie was continuing his downward spiral mentally as if he was counting down to the very second that his only remaining family from his original world would stop loving him. His fingers intertwined with his hair as Eris' hand left his grasp, entirely unaware that he was clutching his hair rather than holding her hand.
Human Steven was unsure of rather to leave Blueberry in the state he was in in favor of checking on Eris who he noticed saw leave out of the corner of his eye... or continue reassuring a part of himself... a part of his brother that they wouldn't just stop loving him over a simple mistake, no matter how big that mistake seemed. He was unaware of the butterfly now fluttering off his head and headed toward the goo to lie in wait.
The memory continued with Smoky Quartz throwing quip after quip during the fight, pissing off Jasper more and more, despite the fact the Quartz solider was holding her own. The fusion's own recklessness of the environment around them, had caused them to let out cluster experiments and corrupted gems from their makeshift jail cells. Jasper shouting in frustration about her army, frustrated about everything that's happened ever since she had gotten back to Earth, before she was flung against the rock face behind them, the fusion to busy cleaning up their mess to even worry about Jasper.
"I WILL NOT BE BEATEN BY A FUSION AGAIN!!" Jasper shouted heading toward the nearest corrupted gem, an Ocean Jasper. Smoky Quartz was frustrated trying to poof the gems that they had accidently let loose. After hearing the scream, paid more attention to the fight at hand, turning to see the bright flash of light seeing Jasper fusing the corrupted Ocean Jasper. There forms melding together into some centaur-esque form, laughing maniacally. Smoky Quartz looked somewhat disgusted by the form.
As Eris felt herself be thrown into the tar, Human Steven via fusion felt that same feeling of being tossed through the air "Eris!!" Human Steven picked up Blueberry Pie to head over to Eris seeing the black tar start to bubble around her. The panic in Human Steven's eyes evident as he was a form bubbling up from the inky black goo. The goo despite it's appearance spelling out danger felt warm, comforting, cushioning her fall as it held her close, protectively. A pair of glowing red eyes, forming in the darkness gave her a good look, seeing how she had grown. A soft look of pride played out on the gooey face before, hearing the familiar sounding memory play in his ear. The form looks out seeing the memory playing out before the look of horrible recognition is clearly solid on his now fully formed face. His eyes shift toward the movement real Human Steven, and the visage of Human Steven, were heading toward him.
The once gooey now solid Raspberry Tart had taken his full form, holding Eris in his arms as if she weighed less than bunch of grapes and with a single snap stopped the memory while Smokey Quartz was in the middle of using their weapon to create a sandstorm that was lifting the semi corrupted Jasper fusion off the ground.
Human Steven worried more about Eris' safety stopped his punch from connecting with Raspberry Tart in his face. Raspberry Tart with a warm smile, or a shit eating grin, snapped using his swarm of butterflies to warp them some where more pleasant. A pool at the waterpark, their outfits changing accordingly.
"Well, well, well, look at who I have here... Steven... Steven... and Sweet Pea. It's been a hot minute since you've been nosing around in places where you don't belong. You've grown up so much..." Raspberry Tart replied, gently gathering some remaining goo from her cheek. "So what do I owe this lovely visit?"
"You've gotta be kidding me... this is not the time for joking Gem Steven's in mental anguish and you're just pretending like it's a nice, happy unplanned reunion... where is he!?" Human Steven yelled back.
"... Oh! Just because I'm the embodiment of his negativity means I've always gotta have something to do with his downward spirals..." Raspberry Tart didn't need to look to feel the judgmental stares at him. "Okay, okay, yea... I know how that sounded when it came out of my mouth, but this whole shit storm wasn't on me... not this time at least..."

Human Steven almost didn't hear what the other had said as he had seen her in a state that could only be compared to being stranded on a deserted island for 3 days. He blinked a bit as he tried to follow what she was saying.
"Eris, I'd like to have a moment to understand what is going on, since I don't think I could hear you with how fast you were speaking... Did you camping trip go belly up or something?"

Jail Break | @blackstardiopside
Tumblr media
The sound of a melody lingering in the darkness, a voice unfamiliar to the young fusion before he woke with a start. He looked around the room he was now in. He groaned as he got to his feet, feeling the pulsing pain in his right eye from the blackeye that he was given from being headbutt by Jasper. He looked around seeing that he was in a cold, green cell. There was no toilet, no sink, no bed…. it seemed more barbaric than any cartoon jail that either of the Stevens had ever witnessed, but of course, this was a jail made for a Gem… they don't eat, they don't need to go to the bathroom, they don't need to sleep. "Where are we?" He had muttered to himself, themselves. He was still sort of new to the whole fusion thing, and this was the first time since he's seen action was being eaten by a corrupted fusion of gems that he had deemed a giant bird.
As the fusions pink colored eyes with their differently shaped and colored pupils, a white star in his semi swollen right eye and a black diamond in his left. They scanned around the room for more information of their settings, their eyes landed on the piss yellow colored forcefield keeping them contained in this jail cell. A subtle air of hopelessness filled the air. His eyes squinted as the fusion had thought.
"Wait, this holding sell was built to hold gems… that's why Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl haven't come to bust us out… so that means it's up to us." The pupils of their eyes changed to white as the fusion following Human's logic pushed their finger tips against the barrier, he jolted backward the pupils turning black. "Ah!! That feels weird… I don't like it…"
"Just like I thought, it was made to keep a gem contained… but we're not just a gem… just bare with me… I think we can get through this just… let's push it a little further ok? Ok…" The fusion took a deep breath, their pupils turned turned to their respective colors of white star in their right eye and a black diamond in their left, as the fusion pushed through the forcefield with some resistance. The yellow destabilization field started trailing up their arm lighting up just beneath the skin in the pattern of something similar to a circuit board. "Ewww… Cool!" The fusion replied with a tone of discomfort before shifting to a tone of interest, then pushed through the barrier fully, a shiver trailed down their shared spine, frizzing out their fluffy dual toned hair.
"Uh… hello… are you ok?" The fusion asked, startling the gem in the cell. The gem in question was a Ruby... not that the fusion would know that. She had long red fluffy hair that went down to just below her shoulders. She had a dark red pair of shoulder pads, a matching belt and thigh high boots. She had a maroon vest with matching shorts with a sort of pinkish or really light red v neck type shirt underneath where the points of the v had met where her gemstone was. The gemstone in question looked almost familiar to the fusion cause it sported a 5 facets with a square at the center and was the same placement as Garnet's own.
"We're out… Wooo!" Steven Squared pumped their fist as if they scored a goal, before shaking his head reminding themselves they need to get back on task. "Gotta find the gems." He headed down the hallway, almost passing another gem before it sounded like she was going through literal torture despite her just being alone in the cell.
"Is that another gem? She looks frustrated…"
"Steven, we don't know this gem… we need to find Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl…"
"Yea but she could help us find the others."
"Or she could be dangerous like the other homeworld gems… do you really wanna risk that?"
"Steven, she needs our help… I'm sure if we show a little kindness we'll get home sooner than us having to deal with this ourselves… please just trust me on this."
"Fine."
She slammed her fist into the wall beside her. The fusion stood back on guard from the sound, checking the hallways wanting to make sure that Jasper or Peridot wouldn't find them.
"Great, this is just perfect!" The red gem said aggravated, raking her fingers through her long fluffy red hair.
The fusions left eye twitched a bit, indicating that Gem Steven was getting irritated with the confusing mixed signals, while Human Steven was focused on the gem wanting to help in any way they could. The gem then paused turning to look at Steven Squared. "Wait… how did you get out of the forcefields?" She asked seemingly more confused than frustrated at this point.
"Do you need any help?" The fusion asked.
"No!! I mean… ugh… don't look at me, just go away." The other huffed with an irritated grumble, turning away from the fusion.
"Oh… well, I just sort of walked through it like this." He replied, demonstrating by pushing his hand through. The gem behind the barrier went to warn them but seeing as they could just pass through confused her even more. She attempted to do the same and yelped as the barrier had made her form glitch out. "What's going on here?"
Before the fusion could answer the question about how he was half human, the melody from before could be heard once more. The pupils on the fusion turned from their black and white colors respectively turned to completely black pupils in both eyes as his tone of voice seemed confused. "Is someone singing?"
"Sapphire." The red gem replied.
Steven Squared holding the forcefield open, breathing heavily as the weird feeling and the tingling spread showing more of these circuitry lines under neath his skin. His voice sounding like he was talking into a fan. "And we'll do this together." She slide out form underneath the arch that Steven had created and already started running down the hallway.
"Sapphire... is she your friend? We- er I'm looking for my friends too.... well they are more of my family, but either way..."
"Let me outta here, please! I need to find Sapphire!" The gem spoke with desperation in her voice, almost to the point where she was pulling at her hair again. "She's all alone, I need to find her!"
"Right. We'll find our friends." He replied holding the forcefield open.
Steven Squared followed the hyper focused red gem, "Hey. My name's Steven... what's yours?" He asked attempting to get some sort of name to go with their face, only to be met with a harsh. "Quiet..." She held her head again, before muttering about being unable to see. Steven Squared seemed confused since the gem could clearly see him before, was the panic over this Sapphire causing her some sort of blindness. He paused, before the unnamed red gem headed down the corridor, while Steven Squared did his best to keep up.
Eventually coming across another gem. The outline of the dress excited the red gem before her expression soured seeing that it was Lapis. "Oh... it's just you..." She racked her fingers through her hair as she passed around. Steven Squared looked at Lapis through the piss yellow barrier that shielded the colors from him other then the various shades of yellow that the force field had tinted her gems light formed body. "Lapis?"
"How many other gems are trapped here?"
"Don't know, don't care." Before she skidded to a stop, in front of the window. Steven Squared pausing to admire the beauty of out space despite the current situation they were in. Before his attention was brought back from the pretty look of the Earth viewed from the Homeworld ship they were on, hearing the red gem note that Sapphire had stopped singing, and ran down the hall way again.
The fusion was so glad to see a familiar face but seeing her new form implied to them that she was hurt when she had left to return to homeworld. Gem Steven's thoughts swirling into a frenzy.
"This bitch."
"Steven, be nice."
"Steven, be serious here... how the hell would the other gems know where we lived? Homeworld hadn't bothered Earth for thousands of years then suddenly this bitch heads home and we have gems knocking at our front door like the FBI... she told homeworld where we lived... I mean look at her."
"Yea, she looks like she was hurt badly like Pearl was when I was first learning how to sword fight."
"Or, she was just given a fancy new set of clothing and status and this is just a fucken front to make us sympathize with the enemy!"
"Steven! She was trapped in a mirror for thousands of years."
"Yea, and you ever think to why she'd be trapped in a mirror if it weren't for being a double crossing backstabbing two sided bitch? Even she told the gems off for not knowing who she was like they had a clue in the first place... bitch."
"Steven, she was upset for being trapped for thousands of years... look at her... she looks so scared and lost."
"Yea, she's so lost and scared, and she totally knows who I am in every way, shape and form, because I'm totally a liar and she knows me better than I know myself... oh wait she doesn't know jackshit about me and then claimed that I wasn't who I said I was... then went back to the same people who put her into the fucking mirror in the first place. I don't trust her."
"Steven, I know that you and her got off on the wrong foot, but clearly she needs our help... please."
"UGH, fine, we will offer our help... if she does anything to piss me off I say we bounce... I'm not gonna waste my time to help someone who doesn't appreciate the help I've already given her."
"Steven, you healed her gem because you thought she was a tool..."
"Well, maybe she should have told Pearl in the 1000s of fucking years that she was in a mirror that she was actually a gem who was nice and trapped in a bad situation, but nah, fuck that idea, I guess."
"Steven, be nice... you don't know how it was to actually be in the mirror and forced to work all the time... maybe she never thought to ask for help because she didn't think it was an option to ask for help."
"Bull fucking shit, how the fuck are you able to capture and replay moments you've witnessed while in a mirror during a fucking war yet never witnessed someone yelling for back up or that they're trapped?? Cause she was talking to you but she was using moments she had watched and she replayed them in all sorts of orders to create cohesive sentences when she was talking with you, so I don't wanna hear that 'oh maybe she never thought to ask for help.' You are the perfect kind of person to be manipulated because you are so wonderful and kind and trusting and she's a bitch, who played you like a fucking fiddle."
Gem Steven's rage made the fusions left fist clench into a ball, wanting to punch this gem in the face for calling them disgusting. It was one thing for her to be upset about being trapped, he could understand being falsely accursed for crimes that he didn't commit since not even half an hour ago, he was confronted with Jasper calling him by his mothers name... hell, he even recalled Lars telling them off about how their 'weird' mom had ruined his chances with the cool kids, because NO ONE IN THAT GROUP HAD THE COMMON SENSE TO STAY OUT OF A TAPED OFF AREA THAT SAID "KEEP OUT" ALL OVER IT.
The fusion rolled their eyes before the pupils went from black to white as he went to talk to Lapis. Lapis seemed joyed to hear the familiar voice, until she turned around and saw the two of them fused together. It was already unheard of for two gems to fuse of different rankings to fuse, but a gem and a human, it was even more disgusting than two gems fusing. The look of disgust clear on her face, shot a small pang through the fusion's chest.
"Lapis... I can get you free." The fusion had stated despite Lapis' clear disgust in seeing them.
"Stop!"
"It's ok, Lapis, the barrier doesn't hurt me..."
"No, I don't want your help! Things were bad enough on Homeworld." She held herself. "I've already made too much trouble."
"See I told you she ratted us out."
"Steven, shhh."
"Once we get to homeworld, they are gonna decide what they are going to do with us... and it'd be best if you got out of that disgusting form you're using." Lapis remarked.
But this was not just some jerky teenager, or some dumbass from Steven's school, or a battle hardened gem who didn't know or bother to learn his name... this was someone his brother cared about openly calling them disgusting for just showcasing their close bond as brothers. It made his cheeks burn red with rage, but Human Steven's calming presence and gentle touch on his arm caused the fusion to mimic the motions of trying to hold back his arm from raising a hand against another person.
"Lapis... do you really wanna stay trapped in this prison instead of letting me help?"
"UGH, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS." Ruby yelled in the middle of their conversation as she sped off. The fusion turned, Gem Steven shared the sentiment but Human Steven was determined to convince Lapis. He was her beach summer fun buddy after all.
"Steven... or whatever you call this thing, I don't know what you're trying to do, just stop. If we do everything they say they might go easy on us."
His pupils went from both being white to having the usual white and black with his left eye twitching from the sheer irritation that this gem is putting him through. "But they're mean... they hurt my friends, they hurt my face... they put you in a jail cell... and you're just gonna sit there and take it?? Because they might go easy on us??"
"That's why we can't fight them."
Steven Squared's eyes shifting colors to having black pupils again, the rage evident in his voice.
"That's why we should! This is not the kinda thing that my mom had stood for, she stood against the tyranny of homeworld, that's why this big war was fought for Earth and you're telling me to forget all that my mom fought for and to sit back and just let it happen?!"
Steven Squared looking Lapis in the eyes with his pure black pupils, while his right arm holds his left arm back, before it relaxes as he turns away so only the black diamond eye is looking back.
"Ugh, I don't expect you to understand a thing, you're just some freak. If you really valued your brother like you claim, you'd stop this nonsense and just go back to your cell and just let them decide what's best."
Steven Squared clenched his teeth shut, Gem Steven was this close to fighting this so called scared, lost, defenseless gem while she was in her cell, but Human Steven held him back.
"Steven, we don't have to keep trying to convince her... we should find the gems... we can try and help her later."
"No... I told you already that I am not going to waste my time with anyone who doesn't appreciate my help... if she'd rather have Homeworld punish her for crimes she didn't do, so be it."
"Steven..."
"No, don't 'steven' me with that tone of voice... er... internal echoey voice thing... I told you we'd offer she told us to fuck off, end of discussion... Like the other gem, we don't have time for this. We need to get the gems, and get back home."
"Fine.. you don't want our help.. enjoy your punishment while we get off this ship and leave you here since you clearly made your bed, I'll let you lie in it." Lapis held herself, and the fusion went to go find where the red gem had rushed off too.
Eventually, heading down just the right hallway with a branching hallway that the fusion hid in. As Peridot and Jasper had walked by. "We can't leave yet! The whole point of this mission was to check on the cluster!"
Jasper huffed irritated before slamming her fist on the wall by one of the sealed up cells. "STOP SINGING!"
"Go to Earth, they said... it'll be easy, they said." Peridot walking down the hallway not seeing the short fusion in the hallway adjacent before heading out as soon as the coast was clear, then walked to the gem who was in her cell, and singing again.
Peridot shrunk down a bit at the noise, before Jasper turned, "Rose Quartz take's priority." Peridot looked a bit irritated, as Jasper continued. "Go back to the bridge and set a course for Homeworld."
Peridot lingering behind before Jasper walks away.
"Thank you, Steven." She replied ducking under the others self made archway. The Sapphire in question was about Steven's height. She had a light blue short bob cut with an almost off white bluish tiara accessory, with a strapless dress that had a heart shaped top with blue shall that went over the darker blue dress that covered her legs, and she sported a pair of nearly full arm length gloves.
"Hey... I like your song." The fusion smiled, "You must be Sapphire... the other one said that was your voice."
"You escaped?"
He pushed through the barrier, letting her through the forcefield.
"Of course..." Much like before the fusion sounded like they were talking into a fan as the ushered her out the opening they made. "Come on it's safe."
Steven Squared paused, confused on how the other already knew his name, but before he was given time to respond with a thanks or ask how she knew his name. They heard the gem from before yell out Sapphire's name, and without so much as another word, the blue gem, held the fusion's hand and zoomed down the hall before they were at the other end of the hallway.
The two gems start smooching and hold each other close, Ruby scooping up Sapphire into her arms, and spinning around with the other as they giggled. Steven Squared paused, questioning if he should be watching this but couldn't look move to look away or cover his eyes, only to be met with the sight of the two of their forms merging into one another, revealing Garnet.
"Ruby!" She let go of Steven as the other two embarrassed each other.
"Did they hurt you?"
"No, no, I'm ok... Did they hurt you?"
"Who cares?"
"I do!"
"Garnet, you're a fusion?!"
"So are you!" She smiled and held his cheeks.
"We are??" He looked down at himself. "Oh right, I am... so uhh... did we make a good first impression?"
"Aww, Steven, we already love every part of you rather you're together or not." She holds the other close in a hug. Thought it was short lived with Jasper let out a bloodcurdling scream wondering where she was.
Steven Squared nodded, and headed out of the room that would be home to Garnet and Jasper's fight, eventually finding Amethyst and Pearl, freeing them, then heading to the control bridge catching Peridot off guard, she attempted to use a destabilizer on Steven Squared, but he held it despite the weird tingling it had given him, he snapped it in two, while Amethyst tied her up in a whip, while Pearl took over the controls. Steven Squared watching on the screen seeing Garnet and Jasper fighting, while Peridot then used the escape pod to leave and she was flung somewhere into the great North.
"It's Jasper. You need to find the others and get to the control bridge."
"We don't know where they are."
Garnet smiled and give them a kiss on the forehead passing their future vision to him briefly. "Haha, fusion vision... wait are you gonna be able to take her on all alone?"
"Don't worry Steven... I'm never alone." She replied with a wink.
Human Steven had a pang of worry about Lapis, and debated with his brother while still in the fusion on rather or not they could go back for her, only for Garnet to return and tell them that the ship was going to crash and to brace for impact.
"What about Lapis?!" Human Steven's worry evident in the fusion's voice. "There's no time!" Garnet replied. Before she huddled everyone into the corner as the ship had finally crashed into the side of the temple, making a massive explosion, spreading shrapnel everywhere.
It was calm only briefly until Jasper had crawled out of the debris of the destroyed handship. She huffed and puffed. It was surprising she didn't poof with the amount of energy she was hit with when she was knocked into the the ship's power source. She snarled upset, "Don't think you've won, you only beat me because you're a fusion...if I had someone to fuse with I'd.--" Jasper was interrupted mid sentence by Lapis pushing off other shrapnel. She huffed, seeing Jasper coming she tried to fly away only to but pulled back by Jasper.
Lion eventually seeing the explosion from where he was taking a nap, then went to go find the crystal gems, smelling out for the sent of Gem Steven's gemstone, eventually finding them. Lion had freed them from the rubble with a powerful destructive roar, then the bubble that the fusion of Stevens had created to keep them safe, had dropped the three of them giving him props for his quick thinking and faster actions.
"hey buddy." Steven Squared replied as Lion joined in on the cuddle pile, before Steven Squared gasped. "I can't believe you're a fusion all the time!"
"You met Ruby and Sapphire?"
"Oh no.... we were going to introduce you... Garnet, your plan."
"We were waiting for your birthday."
"We can still do it... we'll just pretend we didn't know. Honestly I kinda forgot that I was even a fusion myself... but something feels kinda right about being like this... kinda comforting." He replied, as they got up.
Jasper holding her by the wrist. "Aw, don't fly off so soon."
"Lapis!" Human Steven's worry for Lapis being justified in the moment when she was being held by the very same gem who hurt Garnet, who hurt him, who ruined his future birthday surprise, the gems as well as his own left arm had to hold the fusion back from trying to run to intercept Jasper and Lapis' interaction as Jasper continued to talk to Lapis.
"Lapis, listen, fuse with me."
"What??"
"How long did they keep you trapped her on this miserable hunk of rock?" She dropped her to where she landed on her knees on the dirty ground. "These gems... they are traitors to their homeworld. They kept you prisoner, they used you, this is your chance to take revenge!"
Lapis looked over at the gems, her gaze solely on Steven Squared, seeing the white pupils looking at her, begging, pleading silently with her. "Come on... just say yes."
"Lapis, don't do it. Please..." He was being held back by the gems, by his own left arm, but Human Steven's personality shining through, while Gem Steven's nagging thoughts were put on the back burner, as he held his tongue hoping hoping maybe Lapis could see the right decsion.
Lapis look shifted into anger, how dare this abomination order her around. Then she turned to Jasper and held out her hand, in which Jasper took it. they danced. "Lapis No!"
Their gems glowing before the two of them fused into a massive fusion sporting 6 arms, featuring traits from both the Lapis Lazuli and the Jasper, before the fusion laughed raising the ocean to form some sort of shaky wave before the fusion itself was surprised by the water taking form of ice chains. It was clear that Lapis was was in control of that moment, Jasper trying to separate the fusion but the ice chains held them together the fusion in Lapis' voice telling them, "I'm sick and tired of everyone always using me for some sort of gain... I was their prisoner, I was your prisoner, and now your my prisoner and we're staying on this miserable planet, TOGETHER." Then they were dragged out of sight by the Earth's ocean that Lapis had control over.
Steven Squared looked out on the water, before the two of them unfused. Both of them sporting a black eye over their right eyes. Gem Steven's was more of a pink rose patterned bruise while Human Steven's looked more like a traditional bruise. Lion went over to comfort them while placing cookie on the ground between the two of them, laying down in a protective manor over the three of them, while Pearl double checked over both of their bruises worried about how the Steven's were handling having black eyes.

Classic Steven nodded, eventually introducing her to the Big Donut, explaining it's another nice place to stop if you want a sweet treat, before leading them off the pavement onto the sandy beach, eventually leading the giant woman just outside the door.
Meanwhile inside the house, Human Steven was out on the patio enjoying the seascape until he caught a glimpse Classic Steven out of the corner of his eye. The panic of the younger one seeing his brother's fusion before they were ready to reveal themselves made Human completely blind to the giant woman that was holding is tiny hand, and rushed back into the house.
"Steven's right outside, we need to fuse." Human Steven panicked, Gem Steven jumped up, "Oh shit, fuck, get over here." He replied the two of them fusing into one entity. Steven Squared went to put Gem Steven's character in an inn, then logged out and shut off his stuff, before he worked on trying to see what they had in the fridge so they could make some dinner for Steven. Classic Steven smiled, "Alright, we're here!" He replied going to open the door. "Hey! Are the gems home?"
Steven Squared was focused on the ingredients in the fridge muttering, "No... they're still on a mission... they might be a few more hours to another few days." He turned to put the ingredients on the counter.
"Aww, that's ok. I guess she can wait until they get back for a surprise reunion... she did say that she was a friend of Pearl's."
Steven Squared paused trying to figure out what friend Pearl could possibly have had, then as he turned his shutter-shaded eyes focused on the figure standing Steven had been leading into the house. "..." His mouth a gap in surprise, but there didn't seem to be a hint of malice to it.
two-sides-halved​:
Classic Steven hummed as he lead the other further into town, past all the signs on the board walk. Classic Steven being the kid he is, was explaining how there were restaurants since humans eat food, and that he’s seen Amethyst eat food plenty of times, and that his favorite food was off menu items like fry bits.
He paused as the other mentioned he could get in trouble. He paused, but still continued his walk, “Well the temple isn’t that much of a secret…and considering I did the same thing with my brother sometime last month, I’m pretty sure showing you around isn’t bad.” Classic Steven replied.
Rose did her best to absorb all the information, nodding along even as most of the information given are things she’s experienced firsthand. Still, it was interesting how immersed with the Crystal Gems he seemed to be that he talked so casually about them, even making the distinction of them from Humans…
Tumblr media
“Well, if you’re sure…” She said, keeping pace with Steven. 
It was strange that, apparently, not only was there one but two potential humans so casually with the Crystal Gems… Still, perhaps times had changed after all.

As Winter stepped through the new door, it brought them to another memory. Instead of being on the ground like one would expect, Winter was floating with a side view of the temple.
Gem Steven and Amethyst was horsing around by the edge of temple's cliff. Human Steven's voice could be heard loud as if he were right next to them despite the fact that Winter was several feet away floating at the mountain's height.
"Guys, be careful!" Human Steven replied. "What's got you worked up, little man?" Amethyst asked, "Awww, do you care about me or something??" She said squishing her face and doing a silly voice.
"Yea, I do care about you both." "Aww Steven, I didn't mean to make you--- woaahhhhhh." She replied stretching backwards to dramatically emphasize her movements about fake falling.
Human Steven yelped, "Amethyst! Please stop, you're gonna fall!" He got closer to her. Gem Steven turned to see that Amethyst was just joking around and couldn't help but chuckled at Amethyst being a dork even though Pearl's told him plenty of times not to encourage her when she gets like this, watching her do flips getting marginally closer to the edge.
Human Steven was worried little tears foaming at the corner of his eyes, "Amethyst, please stop, you're gonna get hurt." Gem Steven seeing how it was upsetting his brother and went over to agree, "Yea, Amethyst, I think we've pushed our luck enough for today." "Geez, Stevens, you guys don't need to stress out so much. I'm a gem warrior.... I'm not gonna fall--" Amethyst on the very edge of the cliff had fallen off. The Stevens yell, "Amethyst!!" Gem Steven jumps after her, Human Steven yells, "Steven!!" Then makes his way down the temple's mountain the safer way by carefully speed walking down the grassy path, while Gem Steven falls faster so he can catch up, and knocks Amethyst out of the way, Amethyst rolls and kicks up the sand and dirt as she lands, while Gem Steven wipes his brow relieved but tries to stop himself from falling so fast but slams into the rock at the bottom of the cliff. There is a bright flash of pink light and Gem Steven groans in pain as he slides down the side of the rock.
Human Steven huffs and puffs rushing to Amethyst, "Amethyst... Amethyst... are you ok??" Amethyst gets up and checks the gem in the palm of her hand, "Yea yea, I'm fine... see no big deal." She brushed herself like she wasn't just tackled by a small child midair.
Human Steven went over to Gem Steven, "Bro? Are you ok?" He asked with a frown. Gem Steven used the rock as support. "I'm alright... just " He coughed a bit, "Think I swallowed a bug on the way down."
Pearl and Garnet came around the corner, "See, I told you they'd be here... Amethyst, do I have to remind you again you shouldn't be messing around up on the mountain like that?" "P-girl, don't worry about it, it's all good... No harm done as uuush." Amethyst folded her arms behind her back. "Steven, are you ok??" Pearl asked holding Human Steven close making sure there's no cuts or bruises. "Yea, just out of breath from running down the mountain..." "Steven, are you ok?" She turned to Gem Steven "Yea, I'm good." He replied, a split second before his body glitched out, jolting pain through out his body and his pink poofy locks were replaced with the giant mane of pink coiled curls.
The four of them let out a gasp. "What... what did a gem monster like land on my head and is too adorable to punch or something?" Gem Steven asked. "Steven, let me see your gem." Gem Steven seemed confused and lifted his shirt. Pearl's eyes widened, "Amethyst! Of all the irresponsible things, I can not believe you would be so reckless around the boys!" "Hey, I didn't ask Steven to jump down after me and push me out of the way!" "Amethyst, do you not see that Steven is cracked!" "... I mean I knew something was wrong with me but you don't need to call me out on it." Gem Steven replied. "hey... what does that mean? Is Steven gonna die???" Human Steven was whimpering. "No, he's not going to die, but it is going to get worse if we don't do something about it now." Garnet replied. "But Steven's cracked I highly doubt his healing powers are going to be working properly right now." "Maybe I could try?" Human Steven suggested. "That's a sweet thought Steven, but you're a human, you haven't exactly demonstrated any other powers other than your shield... and you can barely hold that for more than a few seconds... and that's even if you don't get winded... not to mention you are still trying to catch your breath, please don't push yourself so hard, you're so fragile."
"So do I just have to live with this crack now?" Gem Steven asked. "No... we're going to have to head to Rose's fountain." "Ah yes, Rose's fountain." "Mom had a fountain?" The two Steven's tilted their head confused.
"Oh yes, she did, it was like a lush garden filled with the most beautiful rose bushes, with a gorgeous fountain that had multiple statues in your mother's visage that we used during the war since your mother couldn't just continually cry on everyone that was injured... it has been years since we've been there.... I wonder how it's faired since then."
The memory shifted like it was windows in movie maker transitioning to the next screen. The fountain was overgrown covered in thorned vines, Pearl let out so noises of disappointment at how this safe refugee for the gems had faired the march of time without Rose around to tend to the garden. "Oh dear, how are we going to deal with all this overgrown flora?"
Gem Steven huffed trying to hold his hair out of his eyes, "Ugh, my arm's getting tired... how did mom deal with having all this heavy hair all the time??" He asked, before he saw one of the vines starting to menacingly get closer to Human Steven, "Steven, watch out!" He replied, jumping in between him and the vine, but then Amethyst turning to the noise pulled both Stevens away from the plants. The fast movement caused Gem Steven's crack to get deeper, he yelped in pain. Pearl and Garnet looked over hearing his yelp in pain as his body glitched into Rose but his hair now his usual pink poofy hair. He took a sharp breath before letting out a soft,
"at least that hairs better." He huffed out in his mother's voice and clamped his mouth shut. "Amethyst! You're making his crack worse." Pearl told her off. "Well, excuse me for keeping the Stevens' safe from the plants that were trying to hurt Steven." Amethyst crossed her arms. Pearl was going to reply before Garnet then punched the rock through the layers of overgrowth. "Ah, Garnet!" Pearl exclaimed in surprise, holding the sides of her hair. "There, now we can go find what's causing the problem. Amethyst stay with the Stevens, Pearl come with me." "Yes, of course. This is completely fine. Let us go solve the problem." Pearl looked like she was about to be sick from the damage to Rose's plants.
Human Steven and Amethyst were sitting with the cracked Gem Steven who was sitting on the side of the fountain, "I wonder if I could try shapeshifting back to normal?" "Steven, don't... if you try to use your powers your gonna make it worse and Pearl's never gonna let me hear the end of it if you end up being some sort of weird glitchy dog." "Alright... any other ideas?" "Well, I can try and heal you." "I mean you're gonna have to do that if Pearl and Garnet can't get the fountain fixed."
"Alright... so mom had healing tears... so I guess you'd have to cry on me... but I don't wanna see you cry... seeing you any kind of upset makes me feel bad." Gem Steven replied. "Yea, but I wanna help you and if I have to make myself cry I will." ".. but don't push yourself ok? I don't wanna have to explain why you pooped yourself." Amethyst chuckled. "I'm not gonna poop myself, Amethyst." He replied crossing his arms with a blush on his face, embarrassed and insulted at the very idea of it.

Connie was raking her fingers through his tight fluffy pink curls while helping him calm down from his bad nightmare. She was solely focused on him.
Gem Steven hummed softly as he continued prepping the meal, a small smile on his face just from the simple joy of cooking. Though there was something on his mind, something looming that was bothering him.
"Al-right..." He replied and jolted at the noise, fully assuming that he had done something wrong, maybe he could have said we had a day, but then he only said I had a day because he didn't want to speak for Eris like he was the authority on what was considered a day... He took a deep breath and focused on the food prep.
Gem Steven was massaging the chicken making sure the meat was treated with love, making sure each and every delicate grain of seasoning was worked into the meat, the scent of burning wood seemed to comfort him hearing Eris cam down the stairs. He grabbed a tray and put it into the oven, then set a timer. As he pulled the oven door down, he put it back up with ease, then went to the dining room table.
Connie looked up and over at Eris. "I'm Connie. Human Steven's girlfriend... I've heard a lot of good things about you... you look like you have a lot on your mind... and umm... you're kinda burning the floor over there... you wanna talk about what's bothering you?" She offered.

Tumblr media
Classic Steven was desperately trying to get Gem Steven to acknowledge him, seeing a look in his eyes that seemed hurt, like he couldn't lose another good thing in his life, not again. Classic Steven seemed confused and looked over toward the others as best as he could from his older brother's protective grasp that was firm but not too tight, giving a soft shrug, unsure of what's got him so uppity. Classic Steven wanted to say something but couldn't figure out what words were even appropriate in the situation. Telling him he was ok wasn't working, and he wasn't really strong enough to squirm out of the others protective grasp and the look in his eyes made it seem like Gem Steven was hiding something he couldn't quiet put a finger on.
Gem Steven's growling was persistent, until he saw Winter's movement. The other's words muffled by the bubble shield he had put up, it took him a moment to realize the Spinel in the room wasn't his own, it was the nice one from the Winter's timeline. Of course it wasn't his own, his was in a bubble a bubble that was safely tucked away where no one could get to it.
Tumblr media
He let Classic Steven out of his grip, and slapped himself on the head. Mentally screaming at himself. "IDIOT, OF COURSE IT WASN'T YOUR SPINEL YA FUCKEN MORON..." He raked his fingers through his hair, seeing Winter's frustrated expression, and he dropped the bubble and let out a soft groan. "Sorry... sorry... I panicked... surely you've had a moment or two where you've activated your shield when you were spooked by something you saw that may or may not have been really there."
Tumblr media
"What exactly were you spooked by? I mean I understand you are a bit "weird" around new people, but you've never growled like that before... and the white parts of your eyes were black... I've never seen that happen before... are you ok now??" Classic Steven asking a million questions a second to Gem Steven, "Is everything better?? Do you wanna talk about what upset you?"
Tumblr media
"..." Gem Steven huffed a bit, and took a deep breath. "It's a long story... I don't want to get into right now. I'm better now, and I don't want to talk about it with you... at least not right now... and I've met her before... she's nice... just unfortunately for me, my dumb non-existent brain... sees things that aren't there."
Tumblr media
"things that aren't there.... LIKE A GHOST??"
Tumblr media
"Yea.... like a ghost..." Gem Steven replied, petting over the others head and let out a sigh. "Soooo what's up?" Gem Steven asked trying to brush past the rough patch that had just happened like it didn't happen. "What brings you both to our humble home?"
