The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 45.

Iron: I'm done eating. Do you wanna go somewhere else?

You: (kinda surprised*) Wow, you're quick. How are you so fast at eating?

Iron: (chuckles*) I had amethyst train me.

It made sense since amethyst is an eater herself. You don't know if she really likes the food or she is just doing it for you.

You: Oww, that makes sense. Do you like the food?

Iron: Kinda, I developed a human part called "tongue" to taste it.

You: I see, hold on. (raised your hand*)

Kiki then appears once you raised your hand.

Kiki: Hey y/n, what's up?

You: (puts down hands*) Can I get a plastic? I want my food to be taken out.

Kiki: You sure want a plastic? I mean I could just arrange it for you, you know?

You: No need, I already know you work hard in the restaurant. The rest I could do is do the little things to make your job easier.

Kiki: (blushing*) Wow, never in our life a customer had said something like that.

You: No problem, y/f made me help realize that.

Kiki: Thanks y/n, you truly are a good man. (walks away to get your plastic*) Iron is sure lucky to have an understanding boyfriend like you.

Kiki walks away going to grab you some plastic, you look back at iron. And iron is giving you a mean look.

You: Is there something wrong?

Iron: Yeah, why didn't you let her do her thing I mean it's her job after all. In homeworld we don't do that things, if it's your job, it's your responsibility.

You are offended a little for iron's words. She doesn't clearly understand this is earth and not homeworld. But you will let it slide this time, because she is still getting used to it.

You: Iron, there's nothing wrong with helping anyone in need. She is probably tired from all the work she is doing, the least we can do for her is to do the easy or unnecessary things for her job to be more easier.

Iron: Yeah but-, (sighs*)  Is that how it works on earth?

You: No, that's just being helpful in general. It's just a part of whoever we are. Gems or humans, there is nothing wrong with helping anyone in need.

Iron: I'm sorry I offend you. It's just I'm not used on those type of situations. On homeworld and-

You: We aren't on homeworld iron, we are on earth.

Iron: I know, I will never do it again.

Kiki then returns to your table with a bunch of white plastic.

Kiki: Here you go y/n (gives you the plastic*)

You: (takes the plastic*) Thanks.

Kiki leaves and you started to put all of your unfinished food at the plastic. And iron watched you with a little disgust on her face.

Time skip, at the beach city funland*
