A/N: Hello and welcome to my collection of Peridot x Ronaldo drabbles!

Rather than a full fanfiction, this will be a series of oneshots and drabbles centered around Peridot and Ronaldo.

For the most part, they will be mixed between happy and sad, tragic and humor, and many other genres. Most of these are inspired by the asks and prompts I get on Tumblr from anons and others.

Hope you all enjoy!

Prompt: First Kiss

The last few months spent with Peridot had, needless to say, been a learning experience. Ronaldo had over five notebooks stacked on his desk full of notes he had taken about Peridot, of course, with her permission. Now that she was no longer under Yellow Diamond's rule, she found no reason to hide anything from Ronaldo. She had been learning things herself during her stay on Earth and with Ronaldo. Emotions, however, were something entirely foreign to her. Her stay with Ronaldo had brought upon very odd sensations. Ronaldo told her she was simply "happy," but she knew what happiness was. Although happiness was fleeting back in Homeworld, she still felt it occasionally. No, what she was feeling was entirely different. The feeling was first brought to attention during Ronaldo's last Horror Club meeting. Steven had invited more guests than usual and the lighthouse neither was exactly a large space nor was it furnished with enough couches and chairs for the extra guests. Peridot and Ronaldo were, thus, forced to share a single chair with her resting on his lap. Ronaldo had his arms wrapped around her waist to keep her from falling off the chair and Peridot was snugly resting her head on his chest when she felt a fluttering in her stomach. She adjusted herself, trying to figure out the reason for the odd sensation.

"Are you okay?" Ronaldo said. "Sorry, you're probably uncomfortable." Ronaldo said about to pull his arms away when Peridot held them, keeping his protective arms firmly around her.

"N-no. I rather enjoy this. It is just this odd sensation. It is like this odd fluttering in my stomach cavity." Peridot tried to explain. She was used to asking Ronaldo about emotions so she did not mind explaining.

"Oh, that's most likely 'excitement' since we're watching a horror movie!" Ronaldo explained, hoping to answer the confused gem's question.

"I suppose…" Peridot lied. She knew it was not excitement. She had felt excitement before during their last paranormal investigation when they explored some abandoned caverns along the shoreline. Needless to say, bats did not enjoy her shining her light at them.

That fluttering feeling had returned again now as Peridot and Ronaldo sat on the giant couch with her leaning against him as they watched a science fiction movie. It was Peridot who suggested that they sit in this fashion. After the movie night, Peridot couldn't get enough of the warm and comforting feeling of having Ronaldo besides her. She had never felt it before, and the fluttering sensation was all new to her. Peridot tilted her head with curiosity when she watched the two on the screen touch lips together. Peridot looked up hoping Ronaldo would explain, but he was too into the movie to notice her curious eyes. Peridot tugged at his shirt impatiently.

"Huh, what? Peridot? What's up?" Ronaldo asked when he noticed she was no longer watching the movie.

"What are they doing?" Peridot asked bluntly. Ronaldo blushed when he realized what she was asking.

"Oh, um. They're kissing." He said quickly.

"Elaborate." Peridot responded.

"Well, kissing is what humans do to show affection. You know, it is used to show romantic love." Ronaldo explained, hoping that would be enough.

"What is 'romantic love'? Is it another emotion?" Peridot asked with a straight face.

"Well, yes. It is like a more extreme version of liking someone. It is thinking you would not be able to survive without the other by their side. It is a fluttering feeling that you get whenever you see or touch someone."Peridot's eyes widened at his words. Ronaldo chuckled, running his hands though his hair. "Ha, oh geez, being in love is torture, but like, a good kind of torture." That was when he noticed how close Peridot was to him, both physically and emotionally. He looked down at the gem who was only inches from his face with a blush. He could feel her breath on his face and he couldn't help it.

He leaned in a closed the gap.

Peridot let out a surprised squeak as their lips met. Her entire body fluttered with this emotion and her face was engulfed in a dark green blush as she felt the human's warm lips on her own. She realized that she did not like the sensation, she loved the sensation, and more importantly, she loved the human that gave her this sensation. Ronaldo held her tight, making her feel safe and, most importantly, loved. She had never felt loved. All her life she was treated like a replaceable object. She barely even felt needed back in Homeworld.

Ronaldo pulled away, only because he needed to breathe and his face was covered in a huge blush.

"I'm so sorry! I was just caught in the moment and-"Ronaldo stammered quickly when he realized what he had just done. Peridot looked at him with a shocked expression and her mouth agape.

"W-wow." Peridot found herself at a loss for words. "So that is what I have been feeling!" Peridot smiled and laughter erupted from her. Ronaldo stared at her in confusion. "This whole time! That fluttering in my heart, the weird feeling I've had around you, it's been love this whole time!" Peridot laughed happily at the new discovery.

"W-what?" Ronaldo couldn't help but laugh with her. "You mean you've felt like that for a while now?"

"Almost every day! Every time I'm around you!" Peridot laughed. Ronaldo threw his arms around the gem in happiness.

"Haha! I had no idea! I'm so sorry!" Ronaldo said hugging her when the two toppled onto the ground in a giggling mass. Peridot lay on top of Ronaldo and held his face in her hands before meeting their lips together once more.

"It's love! Haha! I'm in love with you Ronaldo!" Peridot hugged Ronaldo tightly and Ronaldo happily returned the embrace.

"I think I'm in love with you too, Peridot."
