Due to an increase in the amount of requests that I've been receiving, I've decided to write another "M" fic. Here is yet another Pearl/Steven pairing, hope you all enjoy :-)...
Sworn to Steven's Sword…
By: Element of One
"No Steven, STOP!" Connie protested, as she pushed herself away from his embrace. "But Why!?" Steven asked, as he ceased kissing her. "What's wrong!?"
"We're both friends! We both like each other! So what's the problem!?"
"That's exactly my point!" Connie exclaimed, then she hastily backed away from him. "We are close, but it feels weird kissing on you!"
"I just want to go back to being friends!"
"Is that okay with you!?"
After hearing her request, Steven sighed heavily, then he became frustrated as he replied, "Fine Connie! Whatever!"
"But I wish you would've said something to me BEFORE we decided to make out!"
As the two were sitting on the couch, they become silent with one another, then a feeling of awkwardness started to settle over them.
"Well, okay then!" Connie exclaimed. "I think I'm going to go ahead and go, because apparently you're upset with me, and I really don't want to be around you right now."
"Tell Pearl I'm sorry!"
Then without saying anything further, Connie stood up from the couch, then walked towards the door and exited the house. As Steven was looking up towards the ceiling, he exhaled, then quietly said to himself, "This sucks!"
"I'm 18 freakin years old and I still haven't gotten laid, and I still don't have a girlfriend!"
In feeling sexually frustrated, he then stood up from the couch, then he walked up the steps towards his bedroom and quietly said to himself, "Time to jerk off…"
"Hopefully I fall asleep, so I can dream of Lapis…"
As he was walking, he turned his attention towards the temple door, and watched as it opened, then Pearl exited her room. "Hello Steven," she exclaimed, as she stepped on top of the warp pad and was holding several swords in her grasp. "Are you ready to begin? Where's Connie?" While her eyes were searching the room, Steven turned towards her, then he replied, "She left."
"She said she had other things to do."
"She told me to tell you that she was sorry."
"Oh," Pearl replied. "Well okay."
"Then I guess it's just you and me today!" She smiled as Steven walked back down the steps, then he headed towards the warp pad and asked, "Do we have to!?"
"Why do we have to keep doing this!?"
"We've been training for a few years now, and nothing bad ever seems to happen."
"There haven't been any more Gems from the homeworld, so It's like, what are we training for!?"
There was a moment of silence between the two, as Pearl gathered her thoughts, then she prepared herself to give a response.
"Well," she exclaimed.
"Training is never fun."
"It's a long drawn out process that is tedious in nature, and requires countless hours of repetition."
"However, that being said, if and when something bad does happen, we need to be prepared. We need to be ready. Just because there's no imminent threat at the moment, it doesn't mean that there won't be in the future."
"So it's absolutely necessary to keep up your training!"
She paused, then she glanced over at him and quietly asked,
"What's wrong!?"
"Why the negativity Steven?"
"It's nothing," he replied. "I'm sorry."
"I guess I'm just a little bored, that's all…"
"Let's get this over with."
Ancient Sky Arena
As Steven and Pearl entered the arena, she once again asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong!? You can tell me!"
"Are you feeling okay, Steven!?"
"I'm fine Pearl," he replied. "Just do the cloud thing."
"Let's get started."
Sensing that he didn't want to talk, she exhaled, then without saying anything, she concentrated and was able to successfully mask the entire arena in a heavy fog. Then as Steven glanced over at her, she disappeared…
As he carefully paced around the arena, he quickly summoned his shield, then took a defensive stance as he heard the sound of multiple footsteps running towards him.
He held his shield over his head, then braced himself, as he could see at least a dozen holograms descending from above with their swords drawn. Once their blades touched the shield, he easily stopped the attack by pushing them off, then he watched as each Holo Pearl fell to the ground and began to disappear.
"Too easy," he whispered.
"Come on Pearl, you can do better than that!"
By now Steven had complete control over his powers, so he was confident enough that he decided to try out a new move that he had been practicing. He concentrated, and was able to manipulate his shield in such a way that it became larger and it now had crystal spikes all along the edges.
He then swung his arm, then released his grip, and watched as his shield flew directly into the fog. When it did, Steven could hear the sound of multiple swords hitting the floor, as more holograms were struck by it. After a few more moments, the fog finally separated, then Pearl immediately began clapping.
"Bravo Steven! Bravo!" She shouted, as she was sitting on the arena steps smiling at him. As Steven was staring at her, he simply smiled back, then quietly said, "At least make it a challenge for me…"
Just as she was about to respond, he raised his hand over his head, then Pearl watched as the shield returned to him at will.
"Wow!" She exclaimed. "I must say, I'm very impressed Steven!"
"You've finally mastered your powers!
"I'm so proud of you!"
Then tears started to stream down her face, as she whimpered,
"You're just like Rose!"
After she finished her praise, Steven's shield disappeared, then he began walking towards her. "That was easy," he whispered, as he sat down beside her. Pearl laughed a little, then she wiped the tears from her eyes, and subtly replied, "You've done well, there's no questioning that."
"But there's still more that we need to do."
"We should continue to hone your skills."
"No," Steven exclaimed. "No more for today, Pearl"
"Is it okay if we do it another time?"
"I'd rather just sit for a while."
"Of course," Pearl replied. "We can resume tomorrow."
"Maybe by then Connie can join us as well."
When she finished, she glanced over at Steven, and noticed that he appeared to be zoning out at the mentioning of Connie's name. Pearl subtly placed her hands over her knees, then moved slightly closer to him, and began staring off into the distance as well.
While gazing at the sunset, she gathered her thoughts, then quietly whispered,
"Actually, it's kind of nice to be able to spend time with you."
Then she smiled at him once more, and continued
"I find it very pleasing to just be able to sit down and share moments like this with you!"
"The sunset is so beautiful, Steven!"
"We don't get to do this that often anymore!"
Then she sighed, and after a few moments of waiting for a response, Pearl looked over at him, and asked,
"Steven, what's bothering you? Why are you so quiet?"
"Is it me!?"
"Did I say something wrong!?"
"No Pearl," Steven replied. "It's not you."
"You did nothing wrong."
Slowly, he placed his hands over his face, then exhaled into his palms and whispered angrily,
"It's Connie!"
As he pulled his hands away, he then shouted at the top of his lungs,
"I swear women are such BITCHES!"
"HEY!" Pearl scolded, as she quickly grabbed his hands. "We're not all like that!"
"Be careful in the way that you use your words, Steven!"
Once she finished, she looked directly into his eyes and finally said,
"If Connie has rejected you, then you need to respect her decision!"
"And even thou it hurts, you have to learn to live with it!"
"You have to be strong!"
"Trust me, I know!"
As the two were gazing into each other's eyes, Steven cried a little, then he asked, "Do you ever get lonely Pearl!?"
Pearl's eyes began to tear as well, then she too replied, "Yes! Of course I do!"
"Ever since Rose left I felt…"
But before she could finish, Steven wrapped his arms around her, then held her snuggly.
Surprised, she let out a slight shutter as she could feel her pristine body being held lovingly and securely in the warmth of his embrace. As she had her legs crossed, she could feel the sensation of something "hard" pressing against her outer thigh, to which she didn't mind because she understood what Steven was going through.
As Steven had his face buried against her neck, she could feel the warmth of his breathe, along with the moisture of his tears, then he frustratingly whispered,
"I need a woman!..."
"I thought that would be Connie, but I guess I was wrong!"
Then he bravely spoke up, as he said,
"Please be my woman, Pearl!"
"You've always been there for me!"
"Please don't let me be all alone!"
After hearing his request, she simply bowed her head, then gradually took in what he was asking of her. "It's natural to want to someone," she whispered
She smiled a little, as she could see his arm wrapped her around her waist, and with his other arm, she could feel him start to play with bow on the back of her tunic.
As she calmly raised her head up, she could feel his curly hair underneath her chin, then she quietly said,
"During the war for earth, your Mother and I looked out for one another…"
"We loved each other!"
As she spoke, Steven lifted his head up to look at her, then Pearl gave him a subtle kiss on his cheek.
"We were never promised tomorrow," she whispered, as she gazed into his eyes.
"I loved your mother, just like I love you!"
"And I would do anything for her, just as I will for you!"
Then she gently placed her hands on Steven's face, and made sure to keep eye contact as she finally said, "I hope you understand what you're asking of me…"
She paused for a moment, and waited as Steven nodded his head, then she continued
"So if you need me to be there for you, in that manner, I can and I will!"
"I'll be your woman, Steven!"
"But you have to promise me that you'll be strong! Like Rose!
"You have to take control, because I need to be told what to do…."
With that, Steven laid her down on the steps and immediately began kissing her. As she could feel his body on top of hers, tears started to stream down her face, as she smiled and she was now overcome with joy. When the two ceased kissing, Steven began sucking on her neck, then he gently caressed his fingers underneath her blouse.
As he could see and feel the silkiness of her white skin, she whispered into his ear, "You need to be dominate…"
After hearing her words, Steven stopped what he was doing, then began gazing into her soft blue eyes.
"Become the strong and powerful leader that I know you are, Steven!" She whispered.
"I'm a Pearl, I'm submissive…"
"You have to take me…"
