The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 39.

You: What about steven?

Lapis: I do trust him but I think he can't take a secret properly.

You: That makes sense. So, what do you want to talk about?

Lapis: The reason, why I visit earth is because I have a dear friend of mine back then. She was a fellow lapis lazuli just like me. She was a commander and I decided to check up on her and then you know, I was caught at the war.

You: Lapis, I have to tell you something as well.

Lapis: What?

You: Empire city is the place where I originated. That is also the city where I became the shadow assassin, so to me empire city is my own version of the galaxy warp.

Lapis then let her head lay down at your shoulder. You both blush from embarrassment.

Lapis: That explains why you almost kill steven.

Lapis laugh a little and you chuckle.

You: Same goes to you.

You both laugh.

Lapis: You know y/n, I think you're right. Maybe there are some places on earth I can stay around. And it's okay for me that you are a crystal gem now. Because, I was scared you will change when you became a crystal gem but you didn't.

You: (smiles a little*) I would never change just because I join the crystal gem and I'm really glad lapis.

Suddenly steven interrupts you two

Steven: You two sure you don't want to take a minute?

You and lapis stand up like nothing happened.

Lapis: It's fine. I just wanna get outta here. (smiles*)

Steven: Okay.

You: Come on, let's go home

Lapis sprouts her water wings and you sprout your shadow wings. You and lapis takes off with Steven away from the Galaxy Warp.

Lapis:For a moment, I really felt like things were different, but they're not. No matter where I go, I'm trapped.

Steven: But you're not. You're not underwater, you're not in a mirror. This time, you're free!

You: Steven's right lapis, you can now move, you can stretch, you can now do whatever you want

Lapis:But I'm still on Earth y/n.

Steven: Yeah, but nothing is still on Earth. Everything's always changing. Leaves, cities, even Jersey changes. My dad says the rest stops used to be pretty gross, but now they have sushi. This isn't the same world that held you prisoner, not anymore, and I know it doesn't feel like home but maybe that can change, too.

You: Please, give it a chance I know you'll like it.

Lapis looked at you and she realized you've been through the same with her. So she decided to give it a try.

At the Barn, Dawn*

Steven and Lapis land near the barn.

Steven:I know you can't go back to Homeworld, but if you stay here, it'll be your choice to stay here. (hands Lapis the leaf that was caught in his mouth earlier*)

Lapis:It's funny. For all this time I spent on Earth, I barely saw any of it.

Steven:That's not funny! That's super sad.

You: It's ironic steven.

Lapis looks at the horizon as the sun rises.

LapisI... I wanna see it.

Steven: Yeah?

You: Wait? You're serious?!

Lapis:I wanna stay here!

Steven: Here? Like here here?

Lapis: Yeah, here here!

You run up to lapis and hug her instantly. She blushed instantly.

You: Thanks for giving it a chance lapis I promise you like it here. Because I know how you feel.

Peridot randomly pops in and you broke up the hug

Peridot: Yes, "hear hear" everybody. ...What are we talking about?

Lapis:You!?

Peridot:Lazuli, nice to see you up and about
.
Lapis:What are YOU doing here?!
PeridotThis is my new home away from Homeworld!

Lapis:No, it's not! It's MINE! Right, Steven?

Steven: Eh... Oh, boy.

Steven is now stuck in a dilemma.
