Stevens POV
I hope she's okay..
(Y/n)'s been asleep for a week now, I wonder when she'll wake up? What if she doesn't?!
Don't get me started on Garnet, she's still not back either. I wonder if she's gonna be out for weeks? What are we gonna do without Garnet?!
All the Void and Ammonite businesses is making me go mad too. I'm not sure what (y/n) was talking about before, but I know Voids that man. Who was he to (y/n)? What happened between him and Ammonite?
I laid back on my bed in a huff. "Why is all this happening!" I put my arms in the air, who knows why? I just know people do it when annoyed. Also saw it in a show once.
I don't leave my room unless needed, Pearl keeps tidying anything and everything she sees, and Amethyst is out a lot now. Not sure what she's doing, maybe hanging with Vidalia (Onions Mom.
I heard someone at the doorway, I really need doors.
"Steven?" I was just laid out on my bed, I'm so tired. All the time. "Mhm?" It was Pearl, she came through the door and over to my bed. "Are you doing okay?"
"Pearl" I sighed and sat up, "yes Steven?" She sat down on the end of my bed. "Pearl.. did I do the right thing?" I looked down. "What do you mean?" "I mean.." I sighed. Why was I having doubts on this?!
"I mean saving her..." Pearl came over to me, I wasn't looking at her, but she knew I was about to cry. "Steven, What makes you think otherwise?" I sighed, "I mean... maybe if she had died, she wouldn't be in the pain she is now? Maybe s-she's be okay?" This time I had tears slipping down my cheeks.
Pearl put her hand on mine. "You did a wonderful thing, saving (Y/n). Life is a beautiful thing, if she died, she wouldn't have met you, she wouldn't know she had these powers, she would be believing whatever was told to her back then" I laughed a bit, "you sound like how mom would have" Pearl laughed a bit too. "I miss her" "we all do" I gave her a hug. "Thanks Pearl"
I got up to leave as Pearl stayed sat on the bed. I was hungry and I needed to see if (Y/n) was at all near consciousness. She needs to eat.
I was humming down the stairs, not per say happily, or loud, but a soft tune.
I looked down to the couch, "Still asleep.." (y/n) laid there, gently sleeping. She was still wearing that outfit from before, it still seemed alive, like the flowers on her head.
I'm worried, I hope she's okay, I can't.. I can't help her at the moment. Not anyone...
I walked over to the kitchen, glancing at Ruby and Sapphires Gems. I sighed. Everyone's a mess right now... and I'm missing (y/n) even more.
We don't know when Void is going to attack, we don't know when Garnet will reform or (Y/n) will wake up.
I sighed, grabbing the Chaaaaps.
I looked over to (Y/n) and gently sang..
"I'd rather be tall
I'd rather be smart
I'd rather be sure you know I care"
I started to walk over to her, I couldn't lose her
"Wherever you go
Whatever you start
I'd rather be sure you know I'm there"
I stroked some hair from hey face.
"I'd rather I always be a part of whatever you do.."
we still didn't remove the blindfold so I couldn't look at her beautiful (E/C) eyes...
"I'd rather be me... with you"
She looked beautiful, no matter if she did-
"Wherever we go
I already trust
I'd know what to do if it were us"
LI'd know what to say
I'd know how to be
I'd know your entire syllabus"
I smiled, knowing, if she were awake, she wouldn't know what that word would mean.
"I can't think of any other thing in the world I would rather do"
I sat on the coffee table, watching her beauty..
"If I could be.."
"I'd rather be me..."
"with you"
I miss her so much, I can't wait till she wakes up.. i kissed her forehead and smiled.
I went back upstairs to see pearl on the balcony. "Pearl?" She seemed surprised by my presence. "S-Steven!" I chuckled. "I only left to get Chaaaaps" I stepped onto the balcony with her, she was leaning on the fence, looking out onto the beach.
It was only around lunch, some people were on the beach, not many though. "What you watching?" Pearl sighed with a smile, I looked closer, Bismuth? Peridot? Lapis?
"Ah~" I teased. "Steven!" I laughed, she was 8 thousand years older than me. "You can go hang out with them, both of us if you'd like? We need to get out" Pearl looked at me, I knew she wanted to. "Steven we can't, it's not fair on Garnet or (Y/N)-" I started to pull her "come on!!!"
She was silent, contemplating. "We really shouldn't-" "PEARL!" We heard a distant shout, Bismuth had seen us at the balcony. Pearl blushes her normal light blue and I smiled, waving back.
"COME HANG FOR A WHILE!" Pearl still hadn't moved so I shouted for her. "WE'LL BE DOWN!" I smiled at Pearl, she was still blushing. "Come on, let's go hang"
"Steven! We can't hang!? Why would you say that!? What happened to when you cared about people!?" Pearl started panicking, I didn't realise why until-
"OH MY GOSH PEARL NO!" Pearl was already crying, oh my god. "We're not hanging anyone, don't worry, we're going to hang out with them" I tried reassuring her.
Pearl breathed out, "L-Let's go"
———
Pearl was laughing with Bismuth, gotta ship it! Peridot and Lapis were laughing and chatting too. Pumpkin in Peridots hands.
I was sitting on the beach, watching the waves. They were smoothing. We've been out here for a few hours now, hopefully Garnet and (Y/n) come back soon...
I glimpsed over to the house, it was getting dark soon. Biz had ordered some Pizza, baring in mind I'm a vegetarian.
It was going to arrive soon hopefully.
I glimpsed over to the beach house.. I missed them so much..
I couldn't really see the balcony properly, Bismuth must have really great eyesight to even recognise anyone. I, I think I saw someone? Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me?
"Foods Here!" I heard Peridot shout, pulling me from my thoughts. "Hey Steven" I turned to see Jenny handing the pizza to Peridot. "Hey Jenny" I smiled, hopefully she was doing better than before.
Jenny waved bye and we all ate- well except Lapis and Pearl. Peridot ate 2 pieces, Bismuth ate 3, and I ate 3, a cheese pizza.
We all sighed as we watched the sun set, it reminded me of when me and (y/n) laid on the beach together... singing She Looks Perfect Tonight was just incredible..
"I love the Sunset" Lapis smiled, it wasn't usual to see her smiling at something of the earths. Unless it's her Meep Morps or something she made.
"So.. Pearl.. can I talk to you.." Bismuth started. Pearl blushes "oh- y-yes, of course, what about?" She tried to seem normal, neither of them fooled anyone. "In private?" Bismuth was blushing too.
"Oooooo" the rest of us said in union. The other too got up and went behind some rocks. Wow we are far from the beach house...
"So how are you two doing?" I asked Lapis and Peridot. "We're good, we've been making more meep Morps!!!" Peridot seemed exited and I laughed. "Lapis?" She seemed plastered to the sea and sun. "H-huh? Oh" The Stars in her eyes told me she loved this so much.
"We're okay I guess" Lapis really isn't much of a talker still.
After a while we all headed back home, saying our goodbyes.
"Told you we needed that" Pearl seemed so much happier now, I'm glad we got out. "Yeah" she laughed.
