Steven sat up from the sleeping bag, still exhausted from taking care of Lapis yesterday. He turned to his side, expecting to see Lapis peacefully sleeping. He was shocked to see the bed was empty. "Lapis!" he called out. He got the answer he needed. "HSHEWW!" A small sneeze came from the kitchen, where low and behold, Lapis was standing there near a spilled jar of water. "Good morning Steven." Lapis said coughing a bit. She no longer had a raspy voice but she still sounded congested. "What are you doing up? Your supposed to be in bed resting!" Steven said with a yawn. " Steven" Lapis began. " I'm feeling a bit better now, I got a lot of sleep so just the sneezing and coughing is bothering me. Besides, you have been working for the past 3 days taking care of me, you're a human, you need rest too" Steven looked at her knowingly. He let out a sleepy yawn and sighed. " Fine, but let me give you this" He walked over to the cabinet and grab a bottle of something, and handed a pill to Lapis. " Um, what do I do with this?" She asked. "You eat it to help you feel better, I don't know if it works on gems but it's worth a shot" Steven smiled. Lapis plopped the strange object is to her mouth and swallowed. She shivered in disgust, tasting the odd flavor in her mouth. Steven laughed seeing Lapis look all funny. Lapis thought this was definitely not funny, but a part of her seeing Steven laugh made her feel all fuzzy. "HSHEWW!" Lapis sniffles wetly before leading Steven to bed. Almost instantly he feel asleep. "Wake…..me….if…..you…need….me" Steven said sleepily, and with that, we was out. Lapis turned quickly to cough into her 'elbow' as Steven called it. Finally at peace…..for 6 seconds. The gems returned in a beam of light. "Yo!" Amethyst said stepping off the warp. "Hello Lapis" Pearl chimed. Garnet simply waved with her normal stoic expression. "Hi" Lapis waved. " Keep it down though. Steven is asleep" Peridot sat sitting on top of Amethyst's hair. "Hello Lazuli" she said with a hint of sass in her tone. Lapis cleared her throat and reached for a tissue from the counter. Thank goodness Steven bought a few. She blew her nose quickly and started cleaning the counter. "Lapis, you know I can handle that right?" Pearl said eager to get cleaning. Lapis shook her head. It was about time she started to handle things when Steven can't. "Gems, we still have two monsters to bubble" Garnet said. Amethyst groaned. "Do we have to? We already fought like 3 of those things" "Garnet is right, one of them is missing and we don't need it coming here" Pearl noted heading toward the warp. Amethyst trudged over and followed Pearl to the warp. "I hate it when you guys are right" Amethyst whined. Peridot followed, seeing as her intellect could help them. With a flash of light, they where gone. Lapis began to feel tired again, whilst trying to stop a sneeze. She walked over to Steven who occupied the bed. The blue gem stared and the pudgy boy with affection. She snuggled against him and allowed herself to hear his slow breathing. Steven draped a arm over Lapis in his sleep bringing her closer to him. Lapis allowed herself to be in his embrace, and started to drift of to sleep with him.
