Yo, just a quick note, pretend Garnet isn't a fusion, the story works out better. :P
it's just a quick one-shot, enjoy!
Garnet felt like crap.
Her eyes felt harder to keep open, her nose was stuffed, and her legs were filled with sand. Garnet exhaled through her mouth, sitting in her room. This feeling was new, as she had never felt this bad in her lifetime.
Walking toward the temple door to exit her room, Garnets head rushed with blood, sending her into a dizzy trance. "What's goin on..." She asked herself quietly, opening her door with the gems on each of her palms.
"Good morning Garnet!" Steven said cheerfully, sitting at the counter while Pearl made him some eggs.
Pearl turned around to look, her expressijon turning to worry. "You don't look so good, are you ok?" She asked.
Garnet nodded, leaning on the wall by the kitchen. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, coughing into her elbow. "I'm just a little tired."
Pearl forked the eggs onto Stevens plate. "If you say so." She said, not wanting to argue with Garnet. Steven looked up at Garnet. "You look sick." He remarked, taking a bite of his eggs.
"Gems don't get sick." Garnet told him. "Well, we do, but we need to catch them from other gems. There aren't any other gems to catch it from, so I couldn't be sick." She finished explaining. Pearl nodded in agreement.
"Well... I get sick and I'm a gem. Although that's probably because I'm half human." Steven said, eating his breakfast. Pearl looked like she just had an epiphany. "Steven was sick last weekend." She said, suddenly realizing that Garnet was actually sick.
"You've got to be kidding me." Garnet said annoyed, realizing it herself.
"Doctor Steven is in the house!" Steven yelled, running downstairs with a toy stethoscope around his neck, and a little med kit in his hand. Garnet smiled when she saw him, finding his pretty cute and funny.
"Steven it's just a cold." Garnet said chuckling. She took a sip out of the tea Pearl made her, laying on the couch with a book.
"Nonsense!" He yelled again, putting his stethoscopes ear pieces in his ears, and holding the longer part up to Garnets chest. "I don't hear anything." Steven said, looking up to Garnet. "We're gems, remember? We don't have heartbeats." Garnet said, looking down to a disappointed Steven, still holding the stethoscope against Garnets chest.
Garnet sighed, making a fake heartbeat for Steven. "Hmm." Steven replied, putting the stethoscope down. "Hmmm." He took out a fake flashlight, and took off Garnets glasses. "Steven what are you doing?" Garnet asked.
"Hmm." Steven said, louder than last time. He pretended to shine a flashlight in Garnets eyes. "Very interesting." He muttered to himself.
Garnet rolled her eyes and chuckled, playing along with Steven. Pearl came in through the front door with groceries for the week. "What are you two doing?" She asked, walking in on Steven with a Popsicle stick on Garnets tongue.
"I'm Doctor Steven!" Steven exclaimed, moving his hands up at the same time. "Ow!" Garnet cried out, as Steven hit her front teeth with the popsicle stick. "Sorry!" Steven muttered to Garnet, who was rubbing her front tooth.
Pearl giggled. "Can doctor Pearl take Garnets temperature and give her some cold syrup?" She laid the bags down on the counter, then proceeding to bring down a bottle of medicine from the cupboard.
"I give you permission to access my patient." Steven said seriously, though still smiling. Pearl came over with the couch syrup and a tablespoon. "Garnet his old are you?" She joked, looking at the side of the package. "Over 12, that's for sure." Garnet laughed, coughing at the same time.
It was almost 9, and Steven was getting ready for bed. He was currently brushing his teeth, whilst Garnet was out cold on the couch after drinking a Neo Citran.
He walked up to his bed, climbing under the sheets.
"Goodnight Steven!" He heard Pearl softly yell to him, trying not to wake up Garnet. Steven closed his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
The house was quiet, only filled with the soft snores of the two sleeping gems. Pearl opened the door to her room, to check on Steven and the ill Garnet.
Walking over to hte couch, Garnet was still fast asleep, the slow rise and fall of her chest signifying that she was ok. Pearl crept up the stairs to Stevens room, where he peacefully slept as well.
