“Do you... oh, this is so embarrassing, but do you like me?”
Jasper froze. A soft, orange-y film of blush slowly grew on her face. “...What makes you ask that?”
You shrugged, with some blush on your face too. “Well.. you’re always so kind to me, and rude to other people or gems. Plus, you compliment me so often,” you said softly.
The gem’s tense muscles became relaxed. “You’re just very like able, and small and adora—“ she caught herself before she could finish. In a little huff, she asked, “If I told you the truth, would you promise to not make fun of me?”
“Of course not! Why would I?” You laughed gently.
“I do like you, Y/N, very much.” Jasper smiled down at you. The sun finally sank below the horizon, and the first stars were visible. They shone brightly, almost like Jasper’s gem in daylight.
Then, a soft pair of tender lips placed themselves on yours.

An hour flew by, and it was way later than you had planned this mini picnic to be. Instead, it was better than what you expected.
You sat in Jasper’s lap, pointing out different constellations since more stars popped up. “Ooh, ooh, that’s the Big Dipper! And that one’s Orion!” You excitedly said.
Jasper ran her fingers through her hair, eyes fixated on the stars that reflected in her eyes. “They’re beautiful.”
“Like you,” you said playfully.
“You’re prettier,” she reponded with a smile.
“No, you!”
And so, the night was filled with, “No, you are!” And tender kisses.
