Originshipping, finally angst-free. Fluff and quite a lot of made-up stuff.
There are just some things about Steven, he muses, that no one else will know.
Just as well. It's not as if he will ever be thinking of sharing them.
Steven's eyes aren't pure grey. If you look very closely, you'll find that there are tiny flecks of silver, three on the right eye, five on the left.
Steven loves coffee. He basically lives off it - which comes in handy when he's in one of phases in which he stays up all night working. He's not exactly the epitome of taking care of himself, and he can be incredibly stubborn. That being said, a kiss to a specific spot on his neck and sliding one's fingers beneath his shirt tend to be quite effective in persuading him to take a break.
When Steven's deep in concentration, he has the habit of pressing his fingertips together and, if he's sitting at a desk, resting his elbows on the tabletop and his chin on his fingers. He's not aware of how adorable that makes him look.
Steven's got a scar running along his right forearm that he received during one of his cave explorations some years ago, and that he's very self-conscious about. It's partly why he always wears long sleeves. Even though they've never spoken of it since - despite the fact that's it's not disfiguring in any way - it has never been less than obvious that only one person's ever seen it.
Steven's quite ticklish. Especially under the ribs.
Steven is a fantastic kisser - that goes without saying. Being pressed up against a wall when it happens makes it all the better. He's also amazing with his tongue.
For his calm, logical, steely exterior as Champion, Steven is surprisingly cuddly. In bed, especially after a particularly exhausting day, he often finds that Steven's wrapped his arms around his neck and shoulders, pushed his nose into his hair, and their legs are tangled together.
Steven has this way of lowering his voice when whispering in your ear. He doesn't whisper often, nor to everyone - which is rather fortunate, by the way, because - and he can't possibly not know this - he sounds even more wonderful than usual, downright seductive. The best, of course, is when he's whispering, "I love you."
Above all, Steven is his. That's one thing that they will never know.
Occasionally, he wonders what it would be like if they did. He's glad they don't.
