As three months passed of therapy, and downtime by Steven's lonesome or with his friends and family, Connie found herself extending her 15 minute breaks to half-hour ones, and eventually hour long breaks here and there throughout the week. Steven would talk about how well his therapist advises him on his unique past and current situation, Connie would talk about the colleges she's looked at, the books she has read, as so on.
Steven would blush and move onto a different topic as Connie brushed her leg against his underneath the table. Kisses on the cheek would stay as just that: kisses on the cheek. Connie would groan into her pillow before returning to her studies, imagining the boy just throwing her onto the table and locking their lips together and…
Connie shook her head, her mind was to be in studies, not the gutter.
But one thought oftentimes was gasoline on fire, and studying would have to be pushed to another time. The heat building up from inside her chest was spreading around her cheeks and tickling her ears, damn him.
The hour break couldn't come fast enough, jumping to it now was tempting her heart.
Just another half-hour, c'mon…
How was she supposed to study like this?
After finishing her studying and tidying up her room, her phone went off, her heart jumping with the sound.
Connie almost forgot the plans she'd concocted since the start of the week, biting her lip as she shoved her phone back into her pocket and bolted out of the house. Using the flowing-pink Lion barely concealed in the backyard's bushes, the big pink pussy roared and jumped through the portal, landing on the beach sand.
"Thanks, wingkitty," Connie chuckled, stepping onto the sand and rubbing Lion's mane. Lion grunted, gesturing his head towards the beach house. "I'm going, I'm going."
Connie climbed up the stairs, holding a DVD case labeled Camp Pining Hearts Movie. Fruitless touches and kisses, yet the boy that proposed to her wouldn't budge. Well, Connie smirked over her shoulder as she stood in front of the door.
Releasing one hand behind her back, Connie knocked on the door. Steven opened it, clasping his hands together and grinning as he met his friend's eyes.
"Connie!" Steven opened his arms wide and embraced her. "What brings you here?"
"Well, I figured while the gems are at Little Homeschool, we'd finally get around to watching the Camp Pining Hearts movie?" Connie suggested, raising the DVD case several feet away from Steven. Steven gasped, opening the door for Connie.
"Peridot's gonna be so jealous," Steven walked inside, getting refreshments ready.
"I don't think she swings that way," Connie whispered, glancing at Steven's pants.
"What was that?" Steven asked.
"Nothing!" Connie blushed, hurrying inside and dashing up the stairs, pushing the DVD into the DVD player and closing the DVD case shut. "I know my breaks are supposed to be an hour, but don't worry about the movie overlapping. I've been looking forward to this one for months."
"Me too," Steven agreed, entering his room and handing Connie a glass of water. Setting a bowl of popcorn between them, Steven glanced at the bowl for a brief second. In that time, Connie skipped past the menu screen and the movie started.
"Eager to start the movie huh?" Steven chuckled. "Did you check if there were any bonus scenes for later?"
"Oh, sorry," Connie waved her hand. "I got a little carried away."
"I...oh, I didn't think this was going to be a live-action movie!" Steven reached his hand for the popcorn. "That's an interesting change of scenery."
Connie gulped, reaching her hand towards the popcorn bowl.
Their hands brushed against each other's, and Steven took some popcorn and slowly pulled his hand away.
"Whoops, sorry," Steven glanced at Connie.
The movie starred a man with shoulder-length hair that wore pastel colors, especially a rose pink shirt. Steven smiled, then a heavy blush decorated his face.
The tall woman with tan skin and short black hair was interviewing the male character, the tension and stares between the two said a thousand words. Three of those words, even Steven Universe couldn't ignore.
They're gonna fuck.
The words died from Steven's lips as the scene cut away to a shot of the city, with the title screen Fifty Shades of Pink showing in hot. Pink. Letters.
"What the fuck?!" Connie gasped beside him. "How did this get into the Pining Hearts case?! I'm so sorry Steven, my parents must've-"
"Hey, it's okay," Steven placed his hand on Connie's shoulder. "It'd take too long to find another DVD back at your place anyway."
"Do you mean-"
"We should see this through?" Steven asked, before nodding. "O-Only if you're okay with it, of course."
"Oh, yeah!" Connie grinned, before covering it with a forced cough. "I mean, it'd be nice to watch an adult movie without my parents hovering over me."
"Have you watched one before?" Steven tilted his head, batting his eyelashes.
Connie blushed, scratching the back of her head with her hand.
"Maybe," Connie whispered.
"Mmmm, never knew you to be the type," Steven smirked. The territory Connie found herself stumbling into in that moment, caused her body to shudder.
Hook, line…
...and sinker.
"The sex scenes haven't even started yet!" Steven laughed, causing Connie to blush even harder.
"It was more of what you said," Connie looked away. "It's silly, to get all worked up over nothing."
Connie froze as she heard the bowl being pushed to the side, Steven rested his hands on each side of her as her best friend rested his head on her shoulder.
"I don't think it's nothing," Steven whispered, his half-lidded eyes staring right at Connie. Connie felt warmth tingling all over her body, her breath hitched as Steven rested his hand over her cheek and pressed his lips against her lips. Her eyes widened as his scent overpowered her senses.
Oh fuck, he smells like flowers.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Steven whimpered as he leaned back. "Did I do it again?"
"Do...what?" Connie whispered.
"Come on too strong," Steven sighed. "Maybe it's the movie getting to me, I haven't really watched anything quite like this outside of…"
"Outside of?" Connie lunged forward, staring into Steven's eyes.
"Outside of...porn," Steven whispered. "Shit, I-"
Connie threw her leg around Steven's lap, straddling her best friend.
"You himbo," Connie snickered.
"Him-what-now?" Steven stammered.
Connie laughed, working his lap like the many pillows before. Throwing her head back, Connie let out a long moan, feeling Steven's hands gently squeezing her shorts.
Huh...gently…
Connie grabbed a nearby blanket to rest her knees on before returning to Steven's lap, letting out a rough growl before grabbing Steven's shoulders, roughly moving back and forth as Steven let out a series of gasps. Connie's hands eventually left his shoulders and gripped his face as she pulled him in for an open-mouthed kiss. Breathing into the same breath, they broke away as Steven never took his eyes off Connie.
"Connie, Connie, Connie, Connie!" Steven gasped, burying his head into her shoulder. "Jesus Christ."
"Well, that was fast," Connie giggled. "Whoops."
"Whoops? You went to town on me like our lives were on the line!" Steven laughed. "I mean, nothing we aren't used to, right?"
"Right," Connie whispered, nuzzling Steven's shoulder. "Oh, fuck this movie."
"Not when I have a much lovelier woman in front of me," Steven winked, turning off the TV. "Where is the Pining Hearts DVD anyway?"
"In my room," Connie smirked. "Wanna watch it next week?"
"Hmmm, I might get distracted," Steven looked away, tapping his chin with his fingers. "Or a girlfriend of mine might slip in the wrong DVD again."
"Girlfriend?"
Steven stared at her, his mouth hanging open.
"I m-mean, if you'll have me?" Steven grinned, fiddling with his fingers.
Connie placed her fingers over her chin, tilting her head as she made a hmmmmm sound.
"Having Steven Universe as my boyfriend?" Connie basked in Steven's gaze as he hung onto every word she said. "I do like the sound of that. No, love the sound of that."
Connie batted her eyelashes at Steven as she smirked.
"Yes, Steven. I'll be your girlfriend. I just have one request for you at the moment," Connie's words rolled off her tongue like honey. Sweet, tantalizing honey.
"Anything," Steven gasped.
Connie jumped onto the bed, spreading her legs.
"Help me finish?" Connie asked.
Steven nearly tripped as he stumbled to the foot of his own bed.
