Chapter 64: In the Dark

"You know I play drums, right?" Amethyst asked

"Mhm," Y/n mumbled painfully

"Maybe we should make a song or something, I dunno," Amethyst said softly

"Agh," Y/n groaned as they fell over onto their back, "See? You win... I feel like I'm dying,"

"Heh, I just wanted to see your face go all red," Amethyst admitted

"There's easier ways to do that," Y/n groaned as they sat up from the floor

"What'd you mean?" Amethyst asked

"...Nothing," Y/n said as they pushed their hair back into place, "So what were you saying about a song?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Amethyst waved off as she turned away, "I was just thinking maybe we... write a song together or something,"

"I can't hear you if you're whispering and not looking at me," Y/n told

"Ugh," Amethyst groaned as she whipped her hair out of her face and turned to Y/n, "So, you know how Steven always says, like, if you're having trouble with emotions and stuff, you should put 'em in a song?"

"You wanna write a song together?" Y/n pieced together

"I mean, only if you wanna," Amethyst murmured

"Sure, I'm down," Y/n said, "Did you have something specific in mind?"

"Uh... I was kind of hoping you could help me with that," Amethyst told

"Wanna ask like Steven or Greg for help?" Y/n suggested

"I was kind of hoping it would just be a you and me thing," Amethyst told

"Alright, that's all good," Y/n assured, "How about we set up in Greg's storage,"

"Alright, I'll meet you there," Amethyst told, "I gotta get the drums,"

"Sounds good," Y/n said as they grabbed their guitar and amp,

"Need help with that?" Amethyst asked as she walked down the stairs with Y/n

"I think I got it," Y/n said as they walked outside, "See you soon,"

"See ya," Amethyst waved as they parted ways. Amethyst quickly made her way to the beach, up the stairs, and into the temple, "Yo, Steven,"

"Hey, Amethyst!" Steven greeted from his loft, playing video games

"Where're the drums at?" Amethyst asked

"They should be in the closet over there," Steven pointed to the small door behind the TV, "Why?"

"Don't worry 'bout it," Amethyst told as she went to the closet and started pulling out the drum set, "Ugh, this is gonna be a pain to put together,"

"I can help!" Steven smiled

"No!" Amethyst barked suddenly, "Err... I mean, I've got it... Thanks though,"

"Ok..." Steven said, a bit startled by Amethyst's violent reaction

"See ya," Amethyst mumbled as she got all the pieces stacked high and went to the door, but was stopped as Pearl and Greg walked in

"So who is Gloria again?" Greg asked as the door closed behind him

"Well, she's-- Oh, Amethyst! I thought you were with Y/n," Pearl told as she recognized Amethyst

"I was just leaving to see them," Amethyst said

"With the drums?" Greg asked

"Mhm," Amethyst nodded
