Chapter 1
She's different though, right?
If I hear the name Rose one more time, I swear… Oh Rose is so great! Oh Rose is so nice! Oh Rose is that! Rose is this! And it doesn't help that the one that is always going on about Rose, is Pearl...
But really, I don't see what Rose has that I don't, aside from the physical aspect. I mean really. I'm strong, I'm powerful, heck I even have wings. Oh and I'm not attracted to humans. Let alone willing to have a child with one. Ugh the thought of that just makes me want to vomit.
The the only reason I can think of why Pearl could like Rose more is because Rose is a higher ranking gem. Someone with authority, and power. On homeworld, pearls always need someone of higher ranking to serve. This Pearl is different though, right?
The gems were currently somewhere with Peridot at the moment trying to get more information on how to defeat the cluster. So I was here alone with Steven. And after roaming the house for I don't know how long, I finally settled on visiting with Steven in is room.
"Hey Lapis."
"Hi Steven."
"You okay? You seem sad."
"Don't worry about it. But can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Can you tell me why Pearl loved your mom so much?"
The next thirty or so minutes were filled with steven passing on stories about his mom to me. Each one told with great detail and a sad kind of sparkle in his eyes.
"... I mean, that's what Pearl has told me. She's never told me why she loved my mom though. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was just wondering."
"Yeah, but why?"
"I was curious?"
"Were you wondering why, because you like Pearl?"
"W-hat? I didn't say that!"
"You do! You like Pearl!"
I was shocked that he knew that. I could feel a dark blue blush cover my cheeks as I tried to avoid eye contact with him. Was it really that obvious that I liked Pearl?
"So, how are you going to tell her?"
"W-what do you mean tell her? Who said I was going to tell her?"
"But Lapis! You have to tell her! How else is she going to know that you like her?"
Hmm, I guess I never thought about that… It's not like I've ever been romantically interested in another gem before.
"Well, I guess. But how am I supposed to tell her?
" Oh I know! What about flowers? Lars told me that girls love flowers."
Before I could object to Steven whole flower idea, Steven grabbed my hand pulled me towards the door.
Flowers it is I guess.
