Rose x Pearl-
public.
"This has been such an amazing evening, Pearl!" Rose said as she walked down the street with Pearl.
"I'm just happy to spend this time with you, Rose." Pearl said, blushing. Rose looked at her, smiling. She was so beautiful. Pink, bouncy hair. Big, beautiful eyes. Sweet, loving smile. This is the time. Pearl thought to herself. We've been together for so long, that must mean something! I'm sure she'll say yes! She loves me, and I love her!
"Rose…" Pearl said, smiling and blushing and extending her hand to her. "Fuse with me!" Pearl said it so loudly that all the humans nearby turned around, now watching the two gems.
"W-what?" Rose stuttered, looking around to see everyone staring at her. "B-b-but theres… no r-reason to f-fuse!" She said, stumbling back.
"Rose, I love you. I want to be fused. Forever. I want to be with you forever!" Pearl exclaimed, grabbing Rose's hands.
Rose looked at Pearl. She wanted to say no. She wanted to say that she didn't feel that way, that they were just friends.
"I-I… I don't…" Rose looked around as she saw everyone watching her. They all had their phones out, whispering to one another how cute it was. She couldn't say no with everybody watching her! They would think she was heartless and unloving and cruel.
But she couldn't say yes! She had Greg. Pearl knew that! She loved Greg! They were talking about starting a family together! She couldn't stay fused with Pearl. She didn't feel that way. It wouldn't work like Garnet does. They didn't have the bond that Ruby and Sapphire did.
"Please, be Rainbow Quartz with me." Pearl said, as she started dancing. Rose stood frozen in fear. "C'mon Rose!" Pearl said as tears built up in her eyes. "Dance!" She said as she fell to the floor. Tears streamed down her face. "Why won't you dance, Rose?"
Rose watched in horror as Pearl cried. People started looking at Rose in disgust. They hated her. Humans… Hated her. She closed her eyes and sighed. She picked up Pearl and started to dance as she tried her best to smile and hold back tears. I don't want to. I don't want to. I love Greg. Not Pearl. She's just my friend! I didn't want this! I'm not ready for this! She thought.
As the two gems glowed and their bodies started to fuse into one, Rose looked around one last time, letting a tear streak down her cheek.
"Are you happy like this, Rose? We're together! Do you want to be with me forever?"
Rose looked around with her set of eyes on Rainbow Quartz's head as she let out one last tear. "I do."
