"Come on Sapphire!", the red gem shouted the same sentence over and over again as she took her hand and started to run through the forest.
"Ruby, calm down! It's already been an hour. Why are you running anyway?", asked the blue gem.
"Oh Sapphire, I just can't help it, I'm so exited!".
"Oh Ruby, you're so childish sometimes", she said as she laughed. She didn't complain though, Ruby's childish side was a side of her that only she was allowed to see, she always acted so strong, courageous (and kind of awkward and impulsive sometimes) when they were together with the other gems.
"In normal circumstances, I would deny it put today I won't and do you know why? It's because I have a surprise planned for my one and only true love", Ruby said and the next second, Sapphire felt her lips on her cheek for a second. Even though they've been kissing each other a lot of time, even a simple peck still made her blush.
"Okay then, what are you planning then?", Sapphire asked.
"I can't tell you that, then it won't be a surprise. You know that!", Ruby answered and Sapphire laughed.
"Yes I know that, I was just messing a little with you. It's been a while since we've been able to be ourselves huh", Sapphire said.
"Sure has. It's kinda boring to act responsible all the time. I've really missed this, to spend time with you and act silly".
"Me too. If it weren't for the upcoming war...".
"Yeah, we get almost no time for ourselves, but at least we've learned to be grateful for the time we have. It's makes every moment more special, because I'm with you".
"Ruby, you're making me blush again!", a laughing Sapphire said.
"And you look as beautiful as ever when you do", she answered, giving Sapphire a second peck, it only made her blush worse.
"Ruby!".
"Sorry, did you say something?", she said with a big grin on her face. Sapphire just sighed, that was her Ruby in a nutshell.
"Okay, first you warp us away from the temple, we've been walking in the forest for an hour and almost got attacked by a human tribe, twice. What are you up to?". Ruby just laughed.
"Like I said my dear Sapphire, it won't be a surprise if I tell you". She sighed
"What do I even see in you?".
"My charm and my personality", Ruby said as her grin got even wider.
"Oh Ruby, you're so goofy sometimes, but that's actually a good thing, no one else is allowed to see this side of you, got it?", she said and this time, she kissed Ruby's cheek and it was her time to blush.
"Sapphire, you're making me blush!".
"Then we're even", she said and smiled at her lover, giving her a second kiss.
"Okay we're almost there, close your eyes", Ruby said and Sapphire nodded, doing as Ruby said. She felt that Ruby took her hand and they continued to walk a few minutes, it felt strange to walk without seeing anything, but suddenly, they stopped.
"Okay you can open your eyes now", she heard Ruby say, and the next second she saw something incredible. They were standing in the middle of a large meadow, filled with beautiful flowers in different colors and shapes. The forest and a lake surrounded the meadow and made it look mysterious, but unique at the same time, and extremely beautiful.
"Ruby, I don't... I don't even know what to say. It's beautiful", she said.
"Well, I thought that you would like it. I thought that it would be fun to watch the sunset as we used too, I knew that you liked it...", she said, blushing a little.
"Aw Ruby, so thoughtful of you. I love you", she said.
"I love you too Sapphire", she said and smiled.
I love you...
She loved to hear her say those words to her, it made her feel special and unique, because those words were special. She only said those words to Ruby, and Ruby only said those words to her, it was their words.
They sat down and just watched the clouds, without saying another word, words weren't needed right now, not when you already knew what the other person thought by just looking at her. An hour passed without talking, and the sun finally began to go down. Ruby took Sapphire's hands in hers and just looked at her.
"Beautiful, intelligent, graceful", she said and Sapphire felt herself blushing.
"Lively, passionate, true", was her answer to Ruby. Next second, she could feel Ruby's lips against hers. Sapphire felt alive, she never wanted the kiss to end, it was just to perfect, every moment with Ruby felt perfect. When they stopped kissing, they just hugged each other, not saying a single word. She knew that she would always be able to count on Ruby, Ruby was her everything. Even with a war coming up, Ruby made her feel calm, like her old self. They completed each other. She wished that this moment of closeness would last forever, and it could...
"Ruby...".
"Yes?".
"I want to fuse with you".
