Just a little Exposition and background before the main parts of this fluff-filled experience.
Connie awoke in the arms of her husband on the third day of their honeymoon on the crystal shores of a distant planet that the diamonds had made into a vacation spot for elite gems. The planet had been entirely devoid of organic life before being turned into a diamond occupation it was entirely comprised of granite and salt, it had an ocean that was so full of salt it could not support organic life, and it had been gifted to Steven and Connie as a wedding present by white diamond, the entire planet was for their use now. Steven had amended the laws of homeworld he had set in place, too many gems had difficulty adjusting to not colonizing so Steven put the diamonds back in charge as the leaders of gem kind but they had to apply democracy in all their colonies, any planet unfit for organic life was allowed to be colonized, thus ending the resource crisis and gems were much happier and less opposed to Steven. If gems wished to serve a diamond or any other gem they could, but it had to be their choice and they could leave the service at any point. Steven had been in for quite the shock when every gem on Earth and the off colors chose to align themselves with Steven and be part of his court. Connie chuckled at the memory of Steven waking up to find gems at his doorstep begging to be part of his court. Connie rolled over to face Steven who had woken up the minute she moved.
"Hello beautiful," he smiled, kissing her
"Mmm, hi," she giggled, snuggling into him, the bright sunlight of the blue star filtering through the windows of the cushion room of the spire they were staying in. The waves crashing on the fine granite sand of the beach, the light causing the intense salty water to glitter. The balcony had two beach thrones, as the diamonds called them, one pink, one purple. Connie felt Steven's massive arms wrap tightly around her, the sunlight catching his wedding ring. Introducing the Diamonds to the concept of marriage had been hilarious, especially when it came to the concept of the mother-son dance, the crystal gems had gotten into a massive argument about which one of them would get to dance with Steven, then Blue had joined the argument, followed by White. Steven had then snapped at them suggesting that why don't they all just fuse and then they could all dance with him at once. That had been an interesting fusion, Grandidierite, and it had only lasted the one dance, the gems never wanting to fuse with the diamonds ever again.
"Is my jam bud lost in thought again?" asked Steven, gently kissing her neck
"Just remembering our chaotic wedding reception," giggled Connie
"I didn't think they'd actually fuse," laughed Steven
"You looked so TINY compared to her, she was like the size of the full diamond mech ship," laughed Connie, cuddling ever closer.
"What do you want to do today?" asked Steven
"I dunno, maybe explore the six other colonies you have?" said Connie
"You mean that WE have, you are my wife, what's mine is yours," said Steven kissing her. Suddenly they heard the galaxy warp activate
"I thought I said we didn't want to be bothered?" said Steven getting his robe on. He suddenly heard giggling
"What?" asked Steven, confused to see his dad there, with
"BLUE!" exclaimed Steven
"Whoops, wrong planet," giggled Blue before grabbing Greg and warping away
"What. Just. Happened?" asked Steven,
"Was Blue, giggling?" asked Connie.
"What is my dad up to?" asked Steven
"I guess we'll find out later, now come back to bed," demanded Connie, not wanting her husband to stop holding her.
"Gladly," smirked Steven. He climbed back under the covers and held his wife, kissing her all over.
"Do we have to tend to any of our colonies today?" asked Connie
"Mega pearl said she'd handle it while we're gone," said Steven
"Remember the look on Garnet's face when Pearl and Volleyball decided they'd fuse permanently? I thought Garnet would poof from happiness," laughed Connie. Steven held her tightly, cuddling her close to him
"Careful, Stevonnie might appear and ruin our cuddle session," giggled Connie
"I'll take my chances if it means I get to hold you as tight as I want," said Steven, Connie almost disappeared in his arms, her body was so much smaller than his. She felt safe and completely content as she felt his lips on her neck and shoulders.
"I love you," she whispered, turning to face him. His lips moved to hers causing time to stand still for both of them.
