A/N: Hey guys and gals! So, if you didn't know already, this is a re-mastered version of the original Pearlmethyst Hell that can be found on my profile~
AU: Human/college AU
"So P, What do ya want to do today?" Amethyst asked as she laid on her bed, hanging upside down off of the edge, her blood rushing to her hear quickly. Her hands were folded over her stomach and her Magenta eyes were locked on her room mate, Pearl. The Strawberry blonde didn't look up from her text book. She was too immersed into her studies to really pay attention to the other girl. Amethyst turned herself over so that she wasn't hanging upside down any more. She bunched up her nose before shaking her head. "We could hang out with Garnet today! Or Rose, or..."
"I don't feel like going out today Amethyst..." Pearl murmured, biting down onto the HB pencil she held in between her teeth.
It was a weekend in the middle of November, so Amethyst really didn't blame Pearl for not wanting to go out. Way to cold. But she also didn't want to be stuck inside the dorms all winter. "Well... You'd better think of something quickly, before we both die of boredom." Amethyst's eyebrows drew together as she put emphasis on the word 'boredom'.
"Correction. Before you die of boredom. I'm perfectly fine not going out." Pearl shrugged her shoulders. Amethyst suddenly sat up, an idea forming in her head.
"Really? So... Even if someone were to say... Set you up on a date with Rose, you wouldn't go out?" Amethyst wiggled her eyebrows, a large grin splitting across her face as she saw Pearls face slowly flush red. She enjoyed watching Pearl get flustered. A lot actually. It was kinda really cute the way she would lose her words into a mess of babbling and how her ears would turn red along with her face. Pearl closed her textbook with a loud 'snap', her eyes widening.
"Wha- Oh nonono..." Pearl laughed a loud, distressed laugh, running her hands through her blonde hair as she paced around the room. "She haha... She's dating Greg!" Pearl pointed out in between her giggles. Amethyst found herself laughing as well... There was something about Pearl's laughter that just made her feel... Good! Amethyst stood up and grabbed one of Pearls arms, steadying her. Their laughter stopped suddenly and the two were now facing each other. Amethyst gripped Pearls wrists, looking up at the blonde with a smug grin.
"Hm... Well, we could always go on a date, my love~" Amethyst snickered. Pearls face fell and she stared at Amethyst as if she had just sprouted a pair of wings. The shorter student stood on her toes, getting as close as possible to Pearl as possible. Their faces were just inches apart, Pearl could feel Amethyst's breath on her lips now.
"A-Amethyst w-what a-are you d-doing?" Pearls breath was shaky now, she couldn't seem to think properly as Amethyst leaned closer. Pearl could now just feel Amethyst's lips brush against hers before... Before Amethyst pulled away in a fit of laughter. Pearl's eyes widened before she folded her arms over her chest, annoyance bubbling up inside of her. Of course! She should have known that the shorter girl was joking... But... She still felt their lips touch. Maybe it was an accident.
"Hahah, you should have- you should have seen your face ahah!" Amethyst clutched her stomach, her throaty laugh echoing in the room.
"Well, I could tell that you were joking Amethyst. Trust me, I was just playing along with your little... Game." Pearl said with a smirk. "Heh, where did that joke even come from? Us? Date? Hilarious!" Pearl bit her lower lip as she looked at Amethyst. Something about her expression change made her fell like she just said something wrong... "I mean... I knew you wouldn't kiss me."
"Oh? I wouldn't huh?" Amethyst crossed her arms over her chest, raising a single eyebrow. Pearl chuckled in response.
"Most likely not."
"Well, what if I wanted to? What if I just chickened out?" Amethyst grinned.
"You never chicken out of things." Pearl pointed out. It was kind of true. There wasn't much that Amethyst wouldn't do. Or eat. She was honestly that person who, if she was paid to do something, she would do it. Five bucks? Sure, she'll eat mouldy food. Ten? Yeah, you need your house cleaned, she'll do it. Amethyst rolled her eyes and suddenly grabbed onto Pearls shoulders, marching her backwards until her legs came into contact with her bed. Pearl was suddenly seated on her bed, and before she knew it, Amethyst pressed her lips against Pearls.
Pearl was surprised that Amethyst actually went for it, but... It wasn't an unpleasant surprise. Pearl honestly couldn't describe the experience. Sure, she's kissed a few people in the past, but this... This might just be the best one yet... She leaned into the kiss, her hands gripping Amethyst's hips. Amethyst planted her hands on both sides of Pearl on the bed. The two were just getting into the kiss when the door swung open.
"Uh..." Roses voice sounded from the doorway. The two stopped in their tracks and pulled apart quickly, their faces flushed a bright red. "Am I interrupting something?" The other girl asked, holding in her laughter. Pearl shook her head quickly, laughing hysterically. "Nonono, not at all!" She waved her hands in front of her frantically. Amethyst crossed her arms, seeming a little annoyed at Rose.
"Hm... Okay then, but... What exactly was that then?" Rose asked.
"Uhh..." Pearl rubbed the back of her neck, avoiding eye contact. "It was uhm..."
"She made a bet... You know Pearl, quite the gambler hah..." Pearl shot a glare at Amethyst after that. Rose tilted her head to one side, her large pink curls falling to one side.
"Okay then..." She bit her lip. "Well... I'll leave you two to... Whatever you were doing. Have fun~" She giggled before shutting the door. Pearl waited until she was sure that Rose was down the hallway before snapping her gaze back to Amethyst.
"Okay, what was that?" Pearl asked, trying not to lose her cool.
"What was what?" Amethyst was sitting on her bed, checking her nails as if nothing happened. Pearl scrunched up her nose in annoyance. Unbelievable. She kissed her, and now she was acting as if nothing happened. sometimes, Amethyst could be so infuriating! How could she... How could she just pretend nothing happened! It was so... If felt amazing! But she didn't seem to care. Pearl marched up to Amethyst and gripped the collar of her shirt, pulling on it so that she was now standing up. Their lips were now inches apart again and Amethyst opened her mouth in shock. "P-Pearl..." She stuttered.
"Hm?" Pearl hummed in response, a grin tugging at her lips. She moved one of her hands to the back of Amethysts head, running her fingers through Amethysts thick, lavender colored hair. Amethyst sat back down on the edge of her bed, pulling Pearl with her. Pearl straddled her lap, their foreheads touching as she breathed on Amethyst's lips.
"Uh... I um..." Amethyst swallowed, her lips curving up is a hesitant smile. "Wow uh... Is it hot in here or?" Pearl shrugged her shoulders in response and leaned in to Amethyst, their lips coming into contact. Pearl closed her eyes as she felt Amethyst leaning into the kiss as well. Pearl pulled herself as close to Amethyst as possible, her hand still gripping a handful of Amethyst's shirt. Amethyst wrapped her arms around Pearls waist, closing her eyes tightly. Amethyst loved the feeling of Pearls fingers running through her thick lavender hair, scraping lightly at her scalp as her lips attacked her own.
Pearl ripped her mouth away from Amethysts and kissed the other girls jaw, then neck, then her shoulder. Amethyst bit her lower lip as she tilted her head up slightly, a small growl rumbled in her throat. "Pearl I- oh~" Amethyst lost any words that she was trying to get out. Pearl had kissed a very... Sensitive part on Amethyst's neck. Pearls ears perked at the reaction and she grinned before planting another kiss on the same spot, gaining a similar reaction as before. Pearl nipped at the spot lightly, earning a surprised yelp from Amethyst.
Pearl chuckled loudly before pulling away from Amethyst, standing up. Amethyst stared at her for a few seconds before her eyebrows drew together. What the hell? Pearl got her all worked up and then... And then she just stopped? That was uncalled for. "Wha..." Amethyst glanced at the ground before looking Pearl dead in the eyes. "What was that about? Payback?"Amethyst asked with annoyance. Pearl brushed her index finger over her own lips, smirking at Amethyst.
"Hm... I suppose it was." She hummed. Amethyst opened her mouth to say something, but she felt her cellphone vibrate in her pocket. She shoved her hand into her pocket and pulled out the phone, bringing it up to her ear.
"What?" She asked, a little too bitterly.
"Oh... Sorry, is it a bad time?" Gregs voice sounded. Amethyst cleared her throat and sighed.
"No.. Sorry, I'm just... Troubles with Pearl heheh." The girl grinned, shifting her weight onto one leg.
"Oh. Okay, well um... I was wondering if you could do a favour for me?"
"Sure, what is it pal?" Amethyst raised an eyebrow. Greg never usually came to her for favours, unless he needed some equipment fixed or something. There was a small pause, as if Greg was debating if he should really be asking her. Then he spoke.
"I was wondering if you could be my wing gal for my date with Rose tonight. Erm... You could bring a date too. I could be like a..." He paused again as if he had forgotten the word.
"Double date?" Amethyst asked, which piqued Pearls attention.
"Yeah." Greg replied.
"Sure. It's a date." Amethyst chuckled. Greg gave her a few details about where they were going and what time to meet at before the two said bye and hung up. Amethyst let out a loud sigh before plopping down into the beanbag chair that was resting in the corner of the room.
"Double date huh?" Pearl asked, crossing her arms with a grin. "Where are you going to find someone who would go with you?" Pearl tilted her head to one side, raising an eyebrow. Amethyst grinned teasingly up at Pearl.
"Remember when I said that we could go on a date today?"

"Thank you for the lovely evening..." Pearl smiled as the four of them strode out of the busy restaurant. Rain fell on the canopy above, making quite 'pap pap pap' noises as they all stood under it. Amethyst took hold of Pearls hand and a smile appeared on her face as well. The streets were illuminated by the street lamps, the dark wet pavement shimmering thanks to the yellow lights.
"Yeah. Thanks."
"Hey, I could drive you two back to the dorms... I don't mind." Greg offered, which the two denied.
"Nah, I actually have to talk to Pearl about something..." Amethyst replied. Pearl glanced at her, raising an eyebrow. She had to talk to her? About what? She just shrugged her shoulders, returning her gaze back to Rose.
"Okay then... Stay safe you two..." Rose smiled, and the two made their way to the van. Pearl and Amethyst walked off in the opposite direction, their hands still intertwined. There was a few moments of silence as the two made their way down the street, occasionally stepping in small puddles. It was only until the fifth or sixth car passed them, that Amethyst finally decided to speak.
"P... Let me get to the point..." Amethyst rubbed the back of her neck nervously. How was she supposed to say what she wanted to. There were a million different ways she could go about this... She should have rehearsed this a while ago. Amethyst bit the inside of her mouth, gripping Pearls hand tighter. "I... I like spending time with you. A lot." She breathed. "I just like being close to you sometimes..." Amethysts cheeks flushed red and she glanced at the ground. "You might get on my nerves sometimes but... We're bound to do that sometimes." She then took a deep breath in. "I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm sorry..." She chuckled. "I should just shut-" She was cut off by the feeling of something warm on her cheek. Pearl away from Amethyst with a hum. Amethyst let go of Pearls hand and brought her hand up to where Pearl had kissed her. "Wha..." She breathed.
"I know 'we're bound to get on each others nerves sometimes'." Pearl said. "But... I don't know Amethyst. I think I've finally realized something after today..."
"What would that be?"
"I think I have... Feelings. For you." She said awkwardly. "It's weird, I know." Amethysts eyes widened, before she just smiled warmly at Pearl.
"It's not weird at all..."
Aaaand that's a wrap! Wow, I think this one is a little better than the other version, buuut that's just my personal opinion. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it. Possibly maybe you could leave a review? How do you think I did?
