Painite, the only male gem in existence. Outcasted, unwanted...broken. But maybe, just maybe, a pink gem named Spinel can make him whole again.

[Spinel Pov] Spinel: This is a very empty room. The Diamonds brought me here. If my memory is right, this is Pink's room. I took Painite's gem out my "pocket" and looked at it. Spinel: That you'd reform by now. I looked around the empty room. Spinel: I need a table. A table formed in front if me. I stretched my neck into the hole, the pebbles were inside. Spinel: Thank you. Pebbles: You're welcome! I retracted my neck and gently put Painite's gem on the table. Spinel: Well, guess I should find something to do while- Then Painite's gem started to glow. Spinel: Nevermind. Light started to come out the gem, and that light slowly built a body. And then Painite came out...and fell face first. Painite: Ow! Again?! Painite stood up, and dusted himself off. He had a whole new look. His clothing looked more...formal? Is that the word? His skin was a much lighter gray than before. His hair still covered his eye though. Painite: I'm really surprised I lived that. I mean, I know I'm tough-this isn't Earth. Spinel: It's Homeworld. Painite: BAH! Painite went to pull out his chain but stop once he saw who I was. Painite: ...Spinel? I smiled and nodded. Painite: ...You look different. Oh yeah. I let my hair down, lightened my skin a bit and got rid of those dumb tear marks. Spinel: D-do you like it?

Painite: ...Wow. Spinel: Wow...what? Painite: Wow as in you look......wow. I giggled a bit. Painite: You have the cutest lau...did you say this is Homeworld? Spinel: ...Don't get mad. Painite: We're on Homeworld?! Spinel: Aaannnnd...in Pink Diamond's room. Painite blinked about 20 times. Painite: ...You know I was banished right? Spinel: I know but, we had nowhere else to go. And the Diamonds they really wanted me to- Painite: The Diamonds wanted you? And they gave you she who shall not be named because I don't wanna be put in a bad mood's room? Spinel: *sigh* Look, I was gonna ask them if you could stay. Painite: Banish, definition, to send someone away from a country or place as an official punishment. I can't stay here! Spinel: Maybe the Diamonds won't mind? Painite: What about the citizens? They weren't exactly my biggest fans. Spinel: Look, we'll talk to them, together. Painite: What...what if they kick me out again? I put his hands in mine. Spinel: I'll be with you. I gave him a warm smile. Painite: ........Curse your adorable smile.
~~~Diamond throne room
Yellow Diamond: What is it Spinel? Spinel: I came to ask you a favor. White Diamond: Of course anything for you. Spinel: Come on in. Painite walked into the throne room. Painite: My diamonds. He covered his mouth his mouth and nervously laughed. Painite: Just like old times huh? Spinel: Stop. Painite: Ok. Blue Diamond: Is...is that the Painite we banished? Painite: *gulp* Yes...my Diamond. White Diamond: What is he doing here? Spinel: Well, Pinky and I hid him in the garden- The Diamonds: WHAT?! Painite: Welp, I'm dead. White Diamond: Pink went behind our backs and hid you? Painite: ..........Yes? The Diamonds looked at each other. White Diamond: Um...Spinel- Spinel: My Diamonds please! I got on my knees. Spinel: I know Painite's done bad things in the past, but he's changed. Yellow Diamond: He's attacked innocent civilians. Spinel: He may still have some mental problems, but he just needs help. Blue Diamond: He didn't really do his job well. Spinel: I've seen him work, he's gotten much better, he stopped a building from falling! White Diamond: Spinel, you do know what he is right? Spinel: I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT HE IS! This made everyone jump. Spinel: Please I...I love him. That made the Diamonds gasp. Spinel: Painite and I, we've always been together. We danced, we kissed, we even fused. In the garden, we always played with each other. I can't just leave him. I love you all, don't get me wrong, but.... I looked at Painite and smiled. Spinel: I'll pick him any day. Painite smiled at me. Painite: I love you. Spinel: Me too. The Diamonds sat in silence for a moment, then they whispered to each other. I feel like yelling at the Diamonds was a bad idea. They all nodded at each other, then looked at me. White Diamond: ....He can stay. Spinel: Really? Painite: Oh my stars! Yellow Diamond: However, if he even causes the smallest of trouble. Blue Diamond: He will be punished serverly. Painite: ...Uh....you got it. Spinel: Wait, what if someone provokes him? White Diamond: He may defend himself, but to prevent such a scenario from happening, we'll give Painite his own ruby guard. Painite: T-thank you my Diamonds, you won't regret this! Yellow Diamond: We better not. Painite and I did the diamond salute and left. Spinel: Told you I- Painite cut me off with a kiss. Painite: Thank you. For everything. Everything you've done for me. From just making me smile, to stopping me from killing that planet. You've done so much for- I put my finger on his lips. Spinel: I care about you, just as much as you care about me. We'll look after each other. Painite: Yeah, forever. Spinel: Well, now what do we do? Painite: I don't know about you, but I'm ready for this chapter to end. Spinel: Eh, I can wait till the next. Painite smiled and hugged me. I smiled knowing our life will be better now. Painite: ......YOU CAN BREAK THE FOURTH WALL TOO?!
[A/n Pov] Stupid school, delaying my publish. That's the end for the movie story, everything else will be oringal or from your ideas. Also, quick note, I'm changing Tanzanite to only having 2 arms. And I can't remember EVERYTHING from Steven Universe, so if I get anything major wrong let me know. Ok, I gotta go work on my other story that I just neglected. Kay, lataaaaaaa.
