wtfff,, i dont even use this account anymore.. I happened to stumble upon this account again tho, and saw this fanfic had 52 reviews? what? I mean, some of the comments are some kind of shitposts, but whatever. So, here's a much-needed, wanted, follow-up to this short story. Which was a one-shot... it said right at the top it was a complete story y'all... BUT ANYWAY! This is the 2nd and final chapter to this fic! enojy...?
Lapis was at Peridot's, or rather, at her girlfriend's door. They were having a movie night with a small group of their friends. Well, they didn't have much friends to begin with, so basically all of their friends.
The door was swung open- by Amethyst, who gave Lapis a huge grin.
"Welcome to the party, dude!" She said loudly, enthusiastically. She ran back off to barrel onto the couch, as Lapis followed behind.
Peridot was in the middle of talking- or arguing- with Pearl. Probably about their movie choices, or something even lamer like arguing over casting choices and which director lead the better movies.
Lapis snuck up behind her, wrapping a pair of hands around her face and under her glasses, covering her eyes.
Peridot shrieked. Which wasn't the reaction Lapis expected, but that's what made it even better. She pulled back from the girl, laughing at her expense. Peridot turned around, arms crossed diligently.
"Lapis!" Peridot tried to glare at her, but her face broke into a smile, and she fell into a fit of giggles. Peridot jumped on Lapis, wrapping her in her own arms, tickling her briefly at her ribs.
Lapis snorted, pushing her hands away and holding them in her own.
Peridot glanced over to her friends on the couch; Amethyst, Garnet, and now Pearl.
"Oh wait- yeah! We should- we need to tell them about.." Peridot looked at Lapis frantically, waiting for the say-so from her girlfriend.
"Oh yeah." Lapis said, deadpan. "Alright, sure." She rolled her eyes in the other direction, pretending not to be flustered over Peridot's enthusiasm.
"So!" Peridot started, placing a chin on Lapis' shoulder as her arms swung around the front of her torso comfortably. Her hands were holding onto a soft grip with Lapis'.
"Everyone, there's something you should probably know…" She drawled out, trying to build up tension.
"Uh- Well you see, Lapis and I, we're dating now." She finished off, slightly nervously as she glanced at each of her friend's faces for a reaction.
"Nice!" Amethyst commented, moving forward to give Peridot a high-five over Lapis's shoulder.
"Finally," Pearl mumbled, before immediately covering it up with "Well, that's great! I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to tell us." She smiled warmly.
Garnet gave a thumbs up and nod of her head. "That is fantastic." She said solemnly
"Gee, thanks!" Peridot said sincerely.
Lapis shuffled her feet, slipping out from Peridot's grasp. "Yeah, it's pretty cool." She said shyly, fighting back the grin that tugged at her lips. Butterflies were fluttering about insistently inside her stomach.
Once everyone was watching the movie, Lapis and Peridot hat sat back together comfortably. Lapis sat in Peridot's lap, who's hand was rested on the spot between her shoulder blades. Peridot's smaller hand roamed the space, feeling gently at the warm skin under her touch.
Lapis laid her head back onto Peridot's shoulder, humming softly.
Her girlfriend moved to look down at her- watching in amusement. The soft features of her face were adorable, Peridot noticed.
Just then, Lapis' eyes fluttered open, staring up into Peridot's. They caught each other's gaze, deep blue eyes looking into Emerald green ones. Lapis kept their eyes locked, as she slid a hand along Peridot's face, tracing her jawline until she cupped her chin with tentative fingers.
Peridot's breath had picked up, the contact with Lapis making her happier to be here with her. She was her girlfriend now- it was almost unbelievable. She never imagined she would be able to share real moments like this with Lapis.
Peridot smiled,and leaned down into a kiss which Lapis generously offered her. The two held the soft hold and embrace with their lips, for a few moments. They pulled apart, and Lapis dropped her head back onto Peridot's shoulder, rolling her head to the side, and into her shirt. She took a deep inhale, and let out a warm breath.
"I love you." Lapis said, casually.
Peridot had to will her heart from beating out of her chest, as she glance at Lapis. She put a hand to her head, threading her blue with between her fingers.
"I love you, too." She whispered, smiling.
Movie nights were a definite favorite for Peridot, she realized. She then looked back to the screen, just to see how far out of the loop she was. She probably wouldn't be able to catch up now, due to the distraction Lapis was providing her with. But, she didn't mind. She squeezed an arm around Lapis.
Her girlfriend always knew how to make movie nights the best.
