Steven's POV
I sat up and yawned. After noticing Lapis was out of bed, I scrambled my way to the kitchen. Low and behold, there she was, cooking what smelled like pancakes and bacon. "Good morning *yawn* Steven" she said sounding a bit tired. "Are you okay?" I asked. She didn't look okay to me. I know gems don't need sleep but Lapis seemed exhausted. Her was messy, more than usual, and she didn't have her normal bright look. Even her ribbon on the back of her dress was untied. "I'm fine" she replied putting a plate of food in front of me. "It's my second time cooking so sorry if it doesn't taste good" I smiled. "I'm sure it will be since you made it" I blushed. She let out a short giggle but for some reason it didn't not sound as musical. I picked up the fork, cutting a pancake piece in my mouth. My tastebuds exploded in flavor. It tasted like an angel made it (and it was 3)
Lapis' POV
I watched Steven wolf down the meal I made him. Before I knew it, he was done, the plate almost licked clean. "Glad you liked it" I said placing the plate into the sink. I yawned a few times in between but it didn't seem like much. I carried on with what I was doing.
Steven's POV
Ok. That's it. I'm done. "Lapis" I said sounding stern. "Are you sure your okay, your never this tired" I put my foot down. "I'm fine, I've just been up since 2:37 this morning" Well, my question has been answered. I guessed Lapis got so used to rest, that her body adjusted to a sleep time. Wait... why was she up at 2:37 in the morning?! "Why were you up so early?" I asked. Lapis finished putting the clean dishes away, sat on the couch, and began to do laundry. "I wanted to get some things done" she shrugged and yawned. She continued her laundry duty and slowly began to nod off in between folding. "You should lie down" I suggested patting her shoulder. "Steven, I'm a gem. Gems don't need sleep even though we like to, most of us anyway" she replied.
Lapis' POV
Thank Rose I can tolerate Steven. He's asked me so many questions, with anyone else, I'd probably dump water on their head, if I could do that right now. I shifted my ribbon on my back to cover up part of my gem. He hasn't noticed
He won't notice.
Sorry guys! Been busy and I couldn't think of anything to write to save my life. Also cliffhanger Cya
