A/N: I decided to write this story because a lot of you guys have been messaging me on tumblr and on FF to write a Lapidot fic. I was honestly really excited to write this even though I don't ship Lapidot (don't send any hate my way). As I've asked before; please don't ask me to upload more chapters. I will when I'm ready and when I have time. Just tell me what you like about my existing chapters. Thank you =)

Warning: This story will contain abuse triggers. I will label the chapters that contain them in the authors notes. Please, for those of you who are weak of heart I ask you to turn away if it's too much to handle. Nothing should make you feel bad, even a story.

In the living room of her apartment Peridot flipped through 'Camp Pining Hearts' seasons she'd recorded on TV as Lapis baked in the kitchen.

"Can you believe Percy? Paulette breaks her ankle during the three-legged race and he goes back for her!" Peridot yelled, punching the pillow beside her angrily.

"It's like Percy likes to lose, I think it's kinda funny." Lapis said stirring brownie batter in a large bowl in the kitchen.

"Yeah yeah," Peridot said turning the tv off, "I'm gonna be writing letters to the studio until they put the power couple back together! Piercy OTP for life!" Peridot made an infinity loop with her thumbs and indexes.

Lapis chuckled at her fangirl girlfriend, she was always like this, so sporadic and animated. There was never a dull moment when Peridot was around, she could be annoying (as only Peridot could be) but that didn't matter to Lapis, because she loved her.

Two years ago Lapis was dating Jasper, their relationship was toxic and physically abusive, mistrust, hate, and familiarity bound them to one another. Jasper wasn't all to blame, she made attempts to leave but Lapis would reconcile with her. Finally after a heated breakup they moved out of their apartment and stayed with mutual friends separately at the behest of her close friend Steven she chose to go. It was all for the best in the end. Jasper moved away to Jersey City and she hadn't spoken to her since.

After a year Lapis met Peridot at her college, they started talking, eventually started dating and about six months ago they moved into an apartment together. Lapis wasn't in the best mental state when they first started dating, but things had improved greatly and Peridot was largely to thank for that. Some days Lapis would miss the familiar relationship she was in and Peridot respected that, she told Lapis she would leave her alone for a while, which really meant she was going to stay away from her for five minutes and then bug her again. Peridot would think of something for them both to do, which resulted in their mutual 'Camp Pining Hearts' addiction.

"Brownies are done!" Lapis called to Peridot who was already at the counter with a starry wonder in her eyes.

"I love your cookie brownies." Peridot drooled as she inhaled the sweet smell, Lapis set a plate in front of her that Peridot immediately stacked the treats on to.

Lapis walked around the counter to Peridot who was stuffing her face with treats, "Happy anniversary." Lapis said kissing Peridot's cheek.

Peridot stopped mid fatty binge, fuck, she thought as she sat down her brownie, it was their one year anniversary and she'd forgotten it.

"Uh," Peridot groaned, her brain racked with guilty as she tried to think, "I have to go pick up your gift, Lazuli." Peridot said jumping out of her seat and rushing to her coat on the couch that had her car keys in it.

"Oh?" Lapis questioned, she followed Peridot to the door where the latter threw on her coat.

"I'll be right back I just need to get it!" Peridot kissed Lapis' cheek and ran out the door. She bolted to the parking garage, jumped into her car and sped away towards the mall. At the red light she dialed Amethyst's number.

"What's up P-Dot?" Amethyst answered, loud music was in the background, she was obviously at a party.

"I forgot my anniversary with Lapis, what should I get her!?" Peridot panicked.

"Ugh, it's like every time someone calls me it's some drama. Why doesn't anyone call me when things are cool?" Amethyst groaned.

"Amethyst!"

"Fine, you don't gotta yell!" Amethyst yelled into the phone, "Lapis is boring, take her to a restaurant she hasn't been to."

"Yeah, that's a great idea, Ame." Peridot giddily cheered.

"I know, I'm full of 'em." Amethyst laughed, "and if that doesn't work let her sit on your face." Amethyst hung up after that comment leaving a flustered Peridot.

Peridot finally made it to the mall where she picked out an ice blue shawl and had it wrapped in a white box with a blue bow.

Peridot made it back to her car, she called Lapis who was less than pleased.

"Peridot did you forget our anniversary?" Lapis asked more as a statement than a question. Peridot could picture her girlfriend just from her tone, pissed off with the emotionless One Punch Man face she sported when she was seriously angry.

"What?! Of course not, Lappy. I-I just had to pick up your gift, I'm coming to pick you up too, we're going out."

Lapis giggled, she had the cutest snort when she giggled "Okay, I'll get ready. I'll pick you something out too, bye." as Lapis hung up Peridot thought Peridot, the queen of improv!

As Lapis was picking out clothes she held up a dress to herself in the mirror, she totally forgot our anniversary, she thought chuckling to herself.

*At the restaurant*

Peridot wore a green button down top and grey skinny jeans. Per usual she wore her short blonde hair in a high ponytail.

Lapis wore a blue strapless dress and her hair was pulled into a high bun, revealing an undercut she'd recently gotten.

The waiter seated the two as Peridot sat in her chair, which was slightly taller than her. The waiter brought two phone books for her to sit on; she was slightly embarrassed but that feeling subsided as she felt Lapis grab her hand from across the table.

"This is really nice, Peri." Lapis said locking her fingers with Peridot's.

The short woman was truly fixed on her, "It really is." Peridot lifted Lapis' hand to kiss it.

They sat for a while drinking and talking about life and funny memories.

"Remember that time we went to the carnival and Mr. Smiley tried to hit on Garnet?" Lapis giggled.

"Ha! Yeah, he was all like "Well aren't you a tall drink of hot chocolate." and she was like "Garnet out."" Peridot said making glasses out of her hands (to resemble Garnet's shades). They both laughed, at that moment Peridot remembered the gift she'd gotten Lapis.

"Close your eyes, Lapis." Peridot said digging through her bag.

"What are you doing, P?" Lapis asked as she covered her eyes.

"You'll see" Peridot retrieved the gift box from her bag "Okay, Lapis." Lapis put the glasses down and saw the box.

"I even got you a blue bow, I got yo number" Peridot winked at Lapis who immediately started to laugh/snort as she took the box and opened it.

"Peridot..." Lapis said in amazement as she held the garment up, "It's beautiful, now I feel bad I only made you cookie brownies." Lapis nervously laughed.

"No, I love cookie brownies!" Peridot nearly jumped out of her seat to assure her lover, "You shouldn't feel bad especially after I forgot our anniversary." Peridot laughed- wait...Crap Peridot thought to herself as Lapis smiled. "Well not forget! Well you see- I- we it's like-" before she could dig a deeper hole for herself Lapis stopped her.

"It's okay peridot, I knew you didn't remember." Lapis smiled, playing with the rim of her wine glass with her finger.

"I'm really sorry, I felt really bad about it. It is our one year anniversary and I forgot it!" Peridot tucked her head between her arms and bunched her knees to her chest. She looked so cute when she pouted, it upset Lapis to see her sad, but the greatest part about Peridot is she is so easy to cheer up.

"Peridot," Lapis cooed which made Peri lift her head up to see her girlfriend, "I don't care if you forget our anniversary, your here with me, I don't need a gift or a day to prove you love me. Look at what you did already: you rush out to get me a gift, you book a table for us at a fancy restaurant and you gave me the most romantic kiss I've ever had." Lapis smiled.

"I haven't kissed you yet." Peridot said raising a brow to Lapis who batted her eyelashes and puckered her lips.

"OH!" Peridot ran over to Lapis side of the table, standing on her tip toes as she pulled her beautiful girlfriend into a clumsy but passionate kiss. Lapis broke the kiss and pulled Peridot into a hug.

Over Lapis shoulder Peridot caught sight of someone familiar, It was Jasper and she was with someone.

"Oh shit," Peridot said under her breath.

A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! Back from hiatus and I give you guys a ship I've never written about and I give you guys drama *Peridot voice* Praise me! Praise me!
