Based on my human AU where everyone is human and everyone lives together except Greg because no one likes him... I got this idea from the song "If I Tremble" by Front Porch Steps. Oh, and also, there's no Garnet in this... Just Ruby and Sapphire.
Saturday
Pearl, Rose and Sapphire sit in the living room, attempting to wake up while eath their breakfast. Conversating about their weeks events and plans for the weekend.
"Greg and I hare going to a concert together tomorrow." Rose twists her hair around her finger. "What are you two doing?"
Sapphire shrugs. "I might go see a show with Ruby. It just depends if she gets off work in time."
"She's been working a lot lately, hasn't she?" Pearl folds a leg over the other.
"Yes. She said she wants to get a car so its easier to get to work."
In their silence they hear feet on the steps coming down and Ruby appears. Still in her pajamas which are shorts and a dark red sports bra. She sits next to Sapphire and rests her head on one of her shoulders. "Do you work today?" Rose asks her.
"Yeah, but not until later." She replies, tiredly with her eyes closed.
Sapphire wraps and arm around her. "what time did you get home last night? I didn't hear you come in..." Ruby shrugs, not giving any effort in trying to figure it out.
"You really need to stop working so much." Pearl sighs in a motherly tone. "Its not good for you."
"Eh, it will be worth it in the long run."
"Yeah, you never know hwat good will come out of working at Spencer's. The place where people get canabas clothing and sext toys." Rose laughs. Ruby chuckles, knowing its acutally true.
"Well, at least she ahs a job- and two at that." Sapphire shrugs, defending her girlfriend.
"I don't need a job. I get all the money I need on your guys rent." Rose states matter-of-factly.
Pearl stands. "Anyway... I have ballroom in an hour so I'll talk with you guys about your jobs later." She says going up the stairs to her room.
Ruby stands also and drags Sapphire up with her. "Come. I'm going back to sleep and I need a buddy."
"Alright." She says, getting pulled to their room. Once in, Ruby falls face forward onto their bed. "Are you okay?" Sapphire asks, laying next to her on her back.
"I don't know. I just miss you a lot." Ruby sits up and leans over the other. "But I have to leave for work at noon. And all the time leading up to them is going to be spent with you." She bops her nose. Sapphire giggles and kisses her lightly.
"Hmm, what shall we do for four hours?" She smirks.
Ruby slides her hand up Sapphires shirt seducivly. "Sleep." She says before removing her hand and falling back on the bed. Sighing, Sapphire cuddles up to Ruby and closes her eyes, recalling how much she misses her. They go silent for a while. Listening to eachothers heartbeats and the sound of the others breath. "Sapphire?"
"Hm?"
"Lets run away. Just start over somewhere else. We could buy a van and just live in it."
"Like Greg?" Sapphire laughs.
"Yeah, but not as pathetic and messy." She smiles, looking down at her.
"How much money are you away from the car you want?"
Ruby thinks for a moment. "Uhm, like... two hundred fifty to three hundred. I'm pretty close."
"What kind is it?"
"The... that one with the commercial..." Ruby tries to think of any car because its not the real reason she's saving up. "Its red and it has a steering wheel... right in front..."
Sapphire laughs. "Alright then. I think you're tired."
"I am."
"Then go to sleep."
"No, I still want to talk and hand out with you." Ruby groans.
"We can do that later."
"But I get off at midnight and I work at nine tomorrow."
"Well, I'll wake you up in two hours and I guess I'll just have to show up at Fun Land tomorrow."
"You dont have to come tomorrow."
"But I'm gonna."
Ruby smiles and throws a blanket over the both of them. "You're sweet." She kisses Sapphire's head.
"You are too."
"I'm not sweet! I'm badass."
"They don't neccisarily contradict."
"Shh... Let me have this..."
Sapphire kisses her. "Fine, you, badass."
"Thats more like it." She kisses her back
