《Ch.19》+ Prev.Art

Start from the beginning
                                    

You raise a brow at Steven, "Yeah…….I should get going." 

When you head outside, Steven grabs Spinel and shakes her a little bit. "Spinel!" 

"What?!" She grew dizzy and shakes her head. 

"That was your que to ask (Y/n) to go with you! I'm trying to get you two together to have a good time!" 

Finally, it clicked in Spinel's head and she felt so dumb. "Oh gee." Her hand runs down her face only to get pushed out the door. 

"You still have time to ask her." Steven gives her a thumbs up and looks at the broken door. 

Spinel huffs and dusts of the imaginary dirt on her shirt, while jogging to catch up to your walking form. "That Universe needs to chill out. I'm still trying to get used to this place. Why is it so important to ask if she didn't like the idea in the first place?" 

You hear a squeak from behind you and glance back to see Spinel. This brought a smile to your face and you felt happy she was there. "Walking with me?" 

The pigtailed gem nods, "Yep! Can't have a pretty gal walking alone at night." She winks at you.

A faint blush is visible on your cheeks and you end up smirking at her, "Oh? I think you're mistaken. The only gal that I see--" You take her hand and kiss the top of her hand, "--is this Beautiful Gem, right here." 

'Oh my STARS!!' If Spinel had to be honest, she nearly fainted once her face turned red and steam literally appeared above her head. 'My gem can't take that! I am so glad I didn't poof. That would be so embarrassin'!' 

You laugh once again out loud at Spinel's expression. "Will you be okay? I hope that wasn't too much." You continue to walk past the flattered yet embarrassed gem. 

"Yes!~" Spinel squeaked out. Her eyes follow your back until you turn around.

"Can you still walk, Bunchies?" You tease and chuckle wholeheartedly as she finally walks next to you. 

Spinel is quiet and her gaze is out toward the side, staring at nothing in particular. Her gem felt amazing at that moment, it made her so happy and it grew when she thought about you. 

Unbeknownst to her, you happened to see hearts in her eyes. You giggle quietly and enjoy the silence…..your hand sneaking over to entwine with Spinel's hand. 

The walk had gone silent, but it didn't ruin the comforting atmosphere of the two of you holding hands. Spinel had slowly moved closer so her arm wraps around your middle and you do the same. Her eyes look up at the starry night sky, only to slightly regret it. The nightmare from earlier began to crawl back into her mind. 

You felt Spinel's grip tighten around you, "Spinel?" 

"Hm?" 

"Something on your mind?" You ask in concern.

'Stupid nightmare…..had to ruin the moment.' Spinel is unsure, "Just a nightmare is all when I was unconscious. Nothin' really." 

The two of you step up onto the porch of the home you're staying in. "It isn't nothing if it's bothering this much. You sure you don't want to talk about it?" You gently hold her hands in your own.

Spinel looks to the ground as the distant screams and unimaginable sights flash across her mind. 

You squeeze her hands in comfort, "Did you see something that you never thought would happen?" That look in Spinel's gaze felt so familiar because you had the same ones when you have nightmares. 

"Something like that." She managed to say and took a deep breath to calm herself. "Sooooooo…..about that party…." 

"If you're going, then I'll go with you." 

Spinel's chokes in surprise and sheepishly taps her fingers, "Uh....eheh…was it that obvious?" She grins nervously. 

You hum in thought, "Nah. Totally NOT obvious." 

The second time Spinel felt embarrassed and she gave herself a facepalm, then hid behind her pigtails. "I don't know how to do this. I have no idea what's happening, but you make feel so happy and just--"

"Spinel." 

"Yeah?" She peeks through her hair only to feel your lips softly kiss her cheek. Her hand goes over that spot and she stares at you in disbelief. 

"I hope that made you feel better. I'll see you tomorrow evening, Bunchies." You flash her a cheerful smile and the door closes. 

The hearts came back into her eyes and a goofy grin spread across her face. 

Subconsciously, Spinel makes her way back to the boardwalk and finally her hand grabs the light post, it keeps her upright as she giggles. "OOOOH~ MYYYY SWEEEETHEART!!!~" She sings out loud and giggles more while holding her gem. 

The love struck gem swings around and ends up, "I'm really not joking, you'll see!~" She stops and shouts out, "OW~ OH OH OH!~" The feelings returned once she thought about you and she couldn't stop singing out her feelings while springing up into the sky.

For a moment, she dances in midair, "Oh, the tune sounds silly, I will agree~ The words sound daffy, but not to me~ For there's no doubt, it's the way I feel about you~" Spinel lands on the roof of Steven's house and stretches onto the porch. "About ya, About ya, About ya, About ya! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! 'Bout'chu!~" 

With a final spin, she slips inside the house full of excitement for the next day. 

An entire evening with you. 

'Just for one day, don't let anything ruin it.'
