The Log Dates of a New Life

It has been 360 Earth days since my joining with the Crystal Gems. While I have grown accustomed and knowledgeable of what Pearl, Amethyst, Lapis, and Garnet go about on their days, Steven still.. intrigues me with almost every activity he, most of the time, willingly partakes in. Just today I brilliantly walked into the temple announcing my entrance.

"Hello, my gem underlings!" With my hands beautifuly on my hips.

"Hi, Peridot." Pearl had greeted as she read what appeared to be one of Steven's books on the couch. I looked toward Steven's bed and noticed him watching something on the television.

"Hey." He greeted himself. I approached him and saw an unfamiliar image on the screen. I've seen every episodic sliver of Camp Pining Hearts. Why didn't I recognize this scene? "Sit down with me, Perry." Steven requested as he patted the floor space near him. "I really like this episode." Of course being out matched by Steven's smile, I joined him in watching.. an egg cry with a slice of bacon?

"What is this?.." I asked him. "This does not look like Camp Pining Hearts."

"Hehe. It's a completely different show."

"Different.. show?" What did that even mean?

"Well Camp Pining Hearts is one show and Crying Breakfast Friends is another. They're all made by different people for different kinds of televised experiences."

"H-How many shows are there?!"

"A lot more than there are episodes of Camp Pining Hearts." I gasped then and there! For I could NOT hold in that amazing discovery!

"That's incredible! There are THAT many of those that each have their own episodes that all view on the television network?!"

"Humans truly are the blessed." He commented so casually. He was used to all that information and entertainment! Humans can be such greedy creatures.

"Steven!" I stood up. "I have a request, no, a command!"

"Yeeaah?"

"I demand that you show me all the shows that you recommend I watch today!"

"That can take all night!" This weakling..

"Do I look like benevolent mistress to you?!"

"O-... Okay.." That night he stood up hours showing me broadcasts both great and mediocre. That Crying Breakfast Friends show is near moronic and practically put a sleepless being like myself to snores. We viewed one that was actually somewhat disturbing. It covered the struggles that law enforcement officers had to overcome to uncover the grisly murders that took place. There was another show that dealt with powerful martial artists who battled at blinding speeds and astonishing strength. Steven would get so sucked into it that he would yell in excitement at the climactic moments and though.. I hate to admit it, I would get that invested too..

"Steven that was great!" I said excited. "Another!" Sadly when I looked at him, he had fallen asleep. I sighed but was surprised when his body tilted onto my side and his head rested on my shoulder. His hair was very comfortable. I am now taking every chance to touch it from now on..

I snuck into the temple today to examine Steven in his lavatorial habitat. I waited out on the patio and took my chance to sneak in when he entered his bathroom. I noticed he left the door open when he entered so I peeked in and saw him using a brush to scrub the teeth of his mouth. Next to the sink was a tube of paste that he appeared to have spread on the brush. How strange..

"Steven!" I heard Lapis yell from outside. I ran behind the kitchen counter and hid. "You ready?! Don't make me go in there! Unless you want me to.." She said that with a seductive voice. What kind of relationship do these two have?

"I'm coming! It's okay!" Steven ran out of the temple.

"Hmpf.." I scoffed. "Clods.." I looked into the bathroom to see his brush still there. I walked to the sink and picked up the brush. I examined it. "Pitiful. Every part of humans gets dirty." I stared at the brush for a moment. My curiosity ended up getting the better of me and I put the brush into my mouth. "Hm.." What a peculiar taste.. It tasted something unknown to me. I've tasted a number of this planet's food thanks to Steven but this was completely new. Could this have been the taste of his mouth? I moved the brush around my mouth and was, for some reason, enjoying it? Did Steven really taste this pleasantly? It.. soothed my gem.. It felt like my body was slowly overflowing with warm comfort which it had never felt before.. I took it out of my mouth and a trail of my own saliva stuck to it. It made me feel somewhat embarrassed..

And, of course, because nothing I am involved with can be simple, I turned to the door and saw the damn Garnet staring at me! "AGH!" I threw the brush down and put my hands behind my back. "H-How long have you been there?!" I demanded. My face was getting warmer. How could I have put myself in that situation?! With just a few moments of staring, Garnet just... walked away. I hope to the stars that she didn't see anything I did...

I spent a few hours of the day today watching various television shows with Steven again. The only problem was that the taste of Steven's teeth cleanser was still filling me with curiosity. I had to feel that wonderful feeling once more.. As shows progressed, I would glance at him, wondering if that was the way his mouth tasted. Last night was much too tantalizing for me to bear through once again. I had to find out if that amazing sensation was from him or just the human teeth cleansor!

"Steven.." I called to him as a show ended.

"Yeah, Peridot?" I sat with him up on the foot of his bed.

"I'm going to do something and it is purely a means to an end." I felt myself almost back down.. but I could not.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to place my lips onto your's and possibly stick my tongue into your mouth." I can't believe I said that to him.. I felt my face darken.

"Yo-You're gonna ki-kiss me?!" Steven backed up from me. Perhaps I shouldn't have told him in hindsight..

"Don't say it like that!" I crossed my arms. "I'm simply... uhm.. experimenting."

"Peridot this is kinda weird.." Dammit! This is when I knew I made him uncomfortable. I was really making it harder than it had to be. "Will this really make you happy?" I looked at him. Even at a moment like that.. he only cared how I felt at the end of it. Was I taking advantage of this kind gem?..

"Yes.. Can I please.. kiss yooouuu.." Steven exhaled at this.

"If you say so.." He positioned his body to face me. I did the same. He smiled. But it wasn't forced or false.. it was understanding. Steven did not make me any less embarrassed. "Okay, Peridot. Do whatever you need to." This was it. I had to make sure I didn't do anything to embarrass myself even more than I already had. In Camp Pining Hearts, the campers showed their affection by doing this act, so I was already used to seeing it. Doing it.. is completely different however.. I just have to pucker my lips.. Close my eyes.. And apply light suction.. and.. use my tongue if I feel adventurous.. I slowly moved my face closer to his. I placed my hands on his legs and our foreheads lightly touched. I closed my eyes and reached for his lips with mine. When they touched, I felt myself jump in my seat.

I couldn't help but let out a singular heavy breath at that. Uggh.. Even recording this I feel somewhat flustered.. I felt the sensation I felt with the brush but.. only a little. Was it because I only felt the outside of his mouth? I had to move my tongue into to his mouth then.. to achieve my goal, that is.. I had to do it quickly too. To avoid any further awkwardness.. When I forced entree, Steven lightly gasped. It made me sort of excited.. and along with that overwhelming sensation that took over my body, I let out a very noticeable moan.. Shhhit.. How could you lose control like that?... Argh.. That was my cue to pull away. I stared at Steven with an almost scared look. He blushed as his eyes focused to the floor. Then to me.. Ah! Uhhh... I shiver remembering his eyes now..

"Was it.. what you hoped?" He asked me.

"I..." I just couldn't get anything out.

"I guess by that look, it was a lot more than you hoped." He grinned.

"Ah!" I fell off the bed. "I have to go! Yes! G-Go!" I stumbled as I ran away.

"Byyye!"

Why am I so mad?! The event that occured today is the only thing that could've triggered me to feel this way.. but WHY?! Okay... Enough.. I need to stay calm to record this effectly.. Today.. it took me a lot of courage building to even approach the temple. As the previous day with Steven was more than a little unnerving.. I wanted to approach him and apologize for my actions. I was never good at doing this so it took a lot of preparing and Steven just THREW IT ALL OUT FOR SOME-!... Calm, Peridot.. Calm... When I finally entered the temple I looked around to only see Amythest resting on the couch, eating a bag of potato chips. Or I mean, the bag itself.

"Have you seen Steven around, Amethyst?.." I asked while I gripped my arm.

"Isn't he like, right outside in the beach?" She looked at me.

"Really?" I walked out and looked toward THE WATER!... to see him searching for something in it. I thought, "Perfect! I can help him with whatever he's doing! It'll break the ice for the conversation I wanna have." When I started to walk down there, I saw Lapis form out of the water and pull him in as she laughed and sat down. I felt something then.. A feeling of betrayal.. or loss.. fear? I DON'T KNOW! When Steven pulled out of the water he laughed too.. Making it worse..

"I thought you were gonna help me look for shells, Lapis!" He said.

"Alright, I Lapis Lazuli am a dumb, filthy, clod and am also far less attractive than Peridot in every way.." She might not have said that.. but that's what I wanted to hear.. "Help me up?" She held her crusty arm out for Steven's aid. When he helped her up, she nuzzled his hair and they both giggled like hyenas. "Only if we go over her though!" She ran away and Steven ran to her.

"Wait! Hold on!" I sat and hugged my knees with a scornful frown on my face. Why did that make me feel this way? This damned display of affection irritated me to no end.. I just couldn't get my mind away from the thought of Steven kissing her.. But WHY?! They never even got their faces close to each others'! The kiss we had was just for an experiment.. or at least a quick goal.. It wasn't supposed to stick with me this way! I bet Steven doesn't even care for me.. He probably just sees me as a joke and a nuisance! Well I don't care! I SEE YOU THAT WAY TOO, STEVEN QUARTZ UNIVERSE!

Today.. Heheheehaha! Stop! Stop! Heehee! Keep your renowned poise, Perry. Today I sat atop the a hand of the temple's statue. The one with the Earth clothes washer and dryer. I didn't want to be with anyone.. but I didn't want to be alone either.. Enough of that. My sulking was interrupted when I heard the warp pad near me activate. I didn't even need to look to know it was Ssssteven. Heheheeeheehe! Ahem...

"I saw you from outside my room. I didn't think you'd be up here." He said.

"Don't think of me." I lashed.

"Uh-Uhhm.." He sat next to me. "Are you feeling mad about the other day?"

"No." I avoided eye contact with him. Egh.. I was such a.. bitch..

".. Peridot.. You know what today marks?" I didn't say anything. "Heh.. I can't believe I kept this in mind.. but.. today makes a year you joined us and became friends with us." This broke my avoiding eyes and I looked at him with an interested look. Even then, I looked away again, but with a blushing face. "You must think I'm a weirdo for keeping track of this.. But when it's about a person as important as you, I had too." I couldn't.. Hahaheeeheee... My mind raced! Di-.. Did he really feel this way.. Heeheh..

"Th-.. Thank you..." I shifted my eyes to his and back. It was still a bit of a challenge to look into his wondrous eyes without getting shaken. This was when I was putty in Steven's hands. He held his hand out and a bubble appeared with a present inside.

"I got you something." He popped the bubble and caught the present. He handed it to me and my eyes glimmered with excitement. "You deserve better. But it's all I can get." I slowly opened it and inside was a primitive camera of sort. "It's a cam corder. Look." He grabbed it and opened a small hatch on it that revealed a small screen. I felt myself.. start to shed tears. He pointed the lens at us as he sat closer to me. He rotated the screen so that we can see ourselves. "Push this button to record." A red light activated on the front and on the screen. "I love you, Peridot." He said at the screen and kissed my cheek. I gasped a bit. He let out a chuckle and shut it off. "Your first recording." He handed it to me and I looked at it with watery eyes. "Now you have audio and video, Perio." I looked at him and I couldn't help but cry... and cry. "Y-You okay?" My body shook. I wanted to keep my composure but...

"Steven!" I lost all control and hugged him with all my affection! "Nobody has ever been like this to me! I love you! I love you!" I let go and looked at him. "I will cherish the items you have given me for my entire existence! I promise!" I hugged my new camera and snuggled myself into Steven.

"Hehe, Peridot?"

"My Steven. My wonderful Steven.." Heeehheeaaa.. I knew he liked me. I had no doubts. Heheheha.. I love you, Steven! My Steven!

After spending basically the whole day using the camera Steven gave me, I wanted to stop by the temple to at least say hello to my new favorite being before the day ended. Sadly, when I arrived at the temple, he was already asleep, at least I thought so because all of the lights were off. I quietly opened his front door and walked up his stairs. I saw Pearl sitting at the side of his bed with a smile, just.. watching him.

"Pearl?.." I whispered.

"Oh.." She stood up and did the same. "Hi, Peridot."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Oi.. I've been watching Steven sleep for years.." She blushed.

"Whyyy?"

"It's very interesting to watch him.. He moves around and sometimes makes noise completely unconscious.." She smiled with delight. I stayed quiet with an eyebrow raised. "Why.. Why don't you join me?" She offered.

"Uhhm.. Okay, I suppose.." We both sat at different ends of the bed and both watched our Steven sleep. It was quite adorable to see him wiggle in his sleep and whimper.. I looked at Pearl and she was smiling again. Did she feel the same for Steven? Perhaps all the gems did.. They all clearly care deeply for him.. I can't blame them. I looked back at Steven and smiled with starry eyes. He's the reason why my living here on Earth has been so easy and enjoyable. I owe all of my happiness here to him. I sat and watched him with Pearl for hours after that..
