Okay this is my attempt to do a relationship between Greg and Pearl. I hope you guys like it! This was set back when Rose had just 'died'.
Summary: Since Rose's sacrafice , Pearl has been in a stage of regret. it has been hard the gem to forgive and move forward, but the memories were still there. Pearl tried to sustain the past but she couldn't stop holding a grudge against him.
Five months.' Pearl thought to herself as she sat on the beach. She had counted the very moment and time when Rose had given up her physical form for the offspring: Steven. When she was first informed, it sounded impossible. But time caused a drastic turn, causing Pearl to come back from her disbelief. She couldn't get over it. She was Rose's Pearl: her knight and savior. But she couldn't save her, and Rose made that clear.
Rose was gone now. Pearl wiped her tears as reality came back to her. She looked down ahead at the ocean.
'She's gone.' Pearl continued to repeat this in her head. She frowned as she put her head back down. She wanted to wake up from this nightmare. The darkness has taken over her body. It felt painful and heavy. She couldn't bare it.
"She's gone!" Pearl cried out. She closed her eyes, reflecting over the five thousand years they have been together. It only felt like a short amount of time has passed. The times they protected one another. When they fused, it was their ultimate way of showing affection.
"She's gone... Because of him." Pearl growled the last word. Greg Universe.
To this day, she still had no idea what gave Rose the fascination towards a human, especially a human like him. He was weak and fragile, he wasn't a gem, and on top of that, he couldn't even fuse with her. But somehow, he won her over. That same night when he attempted fusion with her, they continued to dance.
That scene tore Pearl in half, realizing what Garnet meant after that night. They have gotten closer over the years.
"I was only yours Rose..." Pearl muttered to herself. She was her Pearl. The one who protected her for over five thousand years, and the one who loved and worshipped her every step. And here she was, alone without her.
Pearl looked up at the full moon. During nights like this, her and Rose would be alone to talk their past years. Pearl began to tear up again, which reflected from the full moon.
"I... just don't know how to deal with... this kind of pain. The feeling of loss and the need for comfort. only from you Rose." Pearl said to herself, while staring at the moon.
Pearl glanced at the sky, which viewed her home planet, Gem Homeworld. Five thousand years into the war and this was all that was left. She thought of Rose once more. The battles they fought were unwinnable.
But they prevailed and fought for what they believed was right. Pearl stood by Rose's side to the end. She smiled slightly, thinking of the positive memories. However, her memories continued to haunt her from when Rose had died, to now.
She stood up from her spot, wiped her tears once more, and begin to slowly walk. Every step felt very fragile. The waves began to move slightly in the ocean. Pearl could hear its pattern. It felt tranquil.
'Maybe a walk around the beach would help...somehow.' she continued to walk, sinking her feet in the sand every step. All the while, the others were doing their own little thing.
Amethyst was at Vidalia's house while Garnet wasn't in the mood to be bothered. Pearl felt alone as she walked down the side of the beach. She felt a slight cold breeze in the air. She glanced at the ocean again. The waves were subtle and calm. Rose's death has been a crisis for the gems. They've since been in denial and had a grudge against the one responsible, Greg.
Pearl and Amethyst chose not to talk to him while Garnet stayed in touch, specifically for Steven. Pearl hasn't seen Steven from the first week he was born. His gem was the same as Rose. He was a half-breed; being half gem and half human. After five millennia, this was very new to Pearl: Human reproduction. She had never thought it was possible for gems to reproduce.
'But why Greg?' she thought for the thousandth time. Pearl continued to ask this for the past few years since she noticed them becoming closer. The gem tried her hardest to be around Rose at all times; but with Greg around, it has been difficult for her. Pearl couldn't deal with the sight of them. She felt betrayed every time Rose went back to him.
He was charming to her. She would smile and laugh every time they talked, and the way they looked at each other made Pearl's body feel weak at the thought. Rose had never looked at her the way she looked at him. He kissed her, and touched every part of her body. Pearl closed her eyes with her arms across. She sighed before whispering,
"Maybe that was why he was her favorite." Soon, Pearl bumped into someone in front of her, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Oh my goodness, I'm very sorry sir-" Pearl paused herself and looked at the slightly taller man in front of her. It was Greg.
