Who is she talking to if not Fuckwad? She isn't high up enough to make these surefire promises. Unless... she's talking to someone higher up. "Then how are you keeping up your end of the bargain? He was supposed to be distracted and broken so I could take his promotion."

"Don't forget I can ruin you, Steven Universe. Just do what I tell you to, My Diamond,"

I flinch and she smiles. When she's says it, its derogatory and it makes me angry and it hurts and she fucking knows that.

"It'll be quicker that way," she finishes with a gleeful smile. She grabs my tie and twists it, dragging me to the couch and pushing me onto it. "Besides, Steven. Don't you want to cuddle?"

My skin starts to crawl and I shudder. "Why aren't you with Johnson? Isn't he leaving soon for the promotion? Go cuddle with him." I wish he'd leave tomorrow. Tonight. In an hour. Right now.

"Ugh." Her face morphs into an ugly scowl. "He's so dreadfully boring. Still stuck on that lame bitch, Connie. I'm surprised I've tolerated him this long."

Stars and Diamonds... "What do you mean he's still stuck on her?"

"He says he's in love with her, which I'm sure is not the case since he couldn't keep it in his pants while I was playing with him. Even you have more control than that. I should know what's it's like to be attached to someone you're with though, considering how long we've been together, Steven."

"We're not together," I remind her. And neither are Johnson and Connie. I wish I could be making her forget his name but Lapis is straddling me now and I can't get away.

"We will always be together, darling. No matter how much you try and deny it, my claws are so deep in you, you will never be able to escape me." She puts a cold hand on my face and I set my jaw.

"Lapis I am not going to let you do this again!"

"I'm not leaving until you fuck me. I'm not going to ask you again, either." She grips my tie to the point where I'm 2 inches from her face. Her eyes turn a dark blue and swirl angrily.

"I'm not your fucking dog, Lapis. Remember who you're under." I glare at her, letting my body take over. Even though I'm sitting, I can feel myself getting taller, broader and stronger.

She laughs and kisses me forcefully. I turn away and she laughs again. "Did you forget who saved you? Your human half would have died from all the drugs and shit you were doing. Sure, you used to be in power. Forcefucking gems and beating them down because of your mommy issues. Throwing tantrums like a fucking brat while no one fucking wanted to be around you. You were only exhalted because of your heritage, not your worth. And after all that? You became a mess. I found you and instantly recognized you and you're lucky I fucking did. You were having meltdowns and breakdowns left and right like a bitch. You couldn't break your meth addiction. Who cleaned up after you? Huh? Who stayed by your side while you went through withdrawls, you fucking pig? Who got you this job anyways? Oh right, it was ME." She's now millimeters from my face. "You're a fucking loser."

Hatred fills me, making my skin shine so brightly that it overpowers the normal lights. I don't say a word though, and that just makes her angrier.

She gets off of me and her wings lift her off the ground. "How easy you forget what I've done for you, Steven. I made you."

"I fucking get it okay?" I burst out. I realize I'm on my feet and in her face but I don't care. "You never let me fucking forget it either. Anytime I want to do anything you don't want me to, it's always the same dance and song! You always do this Lapis!! Why? You know we've started drifting away from each other. It's not my fault you're trying to turn pages for someone who doesn't want you to be in their book anymore!"

She glares at me and I glare back at her just as intensely. It's a silent war. Pink against blue. Diamond vs. Lapis. It's obvious who should win.

"You realize how worthless you are without me, don't you?" She says it so seriously that it feels like it stops my heart. I grunt as if I've been kicked in the stomach and fall to my knees, my gem flickering my form from human to Diamond.

"You do know that. I can tell. Never forget you're still a drugged out prince who murdered his family. You're a piece of shit."

"They tried to kill me first..." I want to sound angry, but I'm so fucking weak.

"I don't give a damn. You're worthless."

There's silence and I grimace in pain.

"Please, don't do it. Don't make me say it." My dig my hands into my curls and pull. I can't take this. I can't beat this.

Lapis lifts my head up to look at her and the cruelty in her eyes terrifies me. "You even sound like the pathetic little boy I found in the street." Her fake nails dig into my jaw and squishes my lips together. "Say it."

Defeat. I can't win. She's got me and I can't fucking win with her. She knows what I've done. Who I am.

What I am.

"I'm worthless."

She stands up straight and offers a hand to me. I take it and she pulls me toward the bedroom. "I know you are."

Whoo. Wow. Lapis is a bitch, we all knew that but damn I didn't even really have a script for that I just started writing! This is terrifying and sad, but still an intense chapter I'm proud of.
