Bellow Diamond Week
Day 1: Era 3
Everything was changing with Homeworld and everything associated with was as well. It was the start of a new era. An Era where the Diamonds were different and Steven was helping them. Blue was happier, Yellow tried to show her emotions more, and White, well, White was trying not to think that everything had to be perfect. Blue often tried to help Yellow show her emotions so most of the time they were together. Homeworld had even tried to adopt some of the Earthly ways Steven had told them about, such as sleeping. An endeavor that Yellow thought was impractical but Blue loved it so Yellow loves it too. Currently, the two Diamonds were asleep in a bedroom type area in Blue's sector of Homeworld. At least Blue was asleep, her confidante was not. Tossing and turning, Yellow Diamond couldn't fall asleep. She either was staring off at the wall to the side of her or the ceiling above. She groaned as turned over to face Blue's back, thinking that Blue was asleep. Yellow was wrong.
"Yellow, if you keep tossing and turning, I am going to tie you to this bed," Blue said sleepily.
"Might actually help me fall asleep, why do you care?"
"Because I care about you." and Blue turned around to face Yellow.
Yellow turned back around and said, "Just go back to sleep Blue."
Blue grabbed Yellow's shoulder and turned her back around so she was looking in her face again.
"I am not going back to sleep until you tell me what's wrong."
"Blue…."
"Don't Blue me, I can tell when you aren't right Yellow or did you just suddenly forget about our connections as Diamonds."
"But, it's my problems, not yours."
"Yellow, didn't you promise Steven that you were going to change?"
"Yes, but wha-" Blue put her finger over Yellow's mouth.
"Shush, let me speak, you told him that you would change. One of the ways was to show your emotions and you aren't right now by not telling me what is wrong."
"You really aren't going to let this go, are you Blue?"
"Nope."
Yellow continued to look at Blue, her golden eyes staring into Blue's. She contemplated in her mind what to do; answering Blue, pretend to go to sleep, or just get up and walk away. She chose the latter. Yellow Diamond sighed and got out of the bed, which earned her a groan from Blue.
"You really are the stubborn one out of all of us."
"Does it matter, Blue?" Yellow said as she approached the window in their so-called "bedroom".
"Yes, it does matter," Blue said as she got up from the bed in sleepwear which just was a t-shirt like Steven called it.
"Blue, go back to bed, its nothing to worry about."
Blue slowly wrapped her arms around Yellow, resting her head on her shoulder, and said, "No, my love, I won't until you please tell me what's wrong."
"You are the one who tells me I am being stubborn and look at you."
"Only because I love you, Yellow."
"I know, Blue, I know." and Yellow sighed, staring out the window.
The two Diamonds stood staring out the window at the landscape of Homeworld. What used to be a hustle and bustling place, is now reduced to a quiet, faint chatter as many gems were resting. Yellow slowly moved Blue from behind her so she would be able to hold her in her arms. Making sure that Blue's head was resting on her gem as if it were a heart like Steven had. Blue wrapped her arms around Yellow's torso, burying her face into Yellow's chest. She felt safe, always when she was with Yellow.
"Are you ready to tell me now, my love?" Blue said slightly muffled.
"If you are alright with hearing it."
"I always will be."
Yellow sighed and said, "Are we going to fast with the changes? I know Steven is simply overjoyed by it but it feels rushed to me."
"Yellow, change can feel like that. I do feel like it's too fast but don't you remember how fast we realized Pink was Steven? It was only a matter of a full day of cycles."
"I know, Blue, but I don't know if I can adjust that quickly. Every time I try to rest, my mind flies back to needing to finish reports and planning out colonies. I-I just-" and Yellow started to cry, tears falling on Blue's head.
Blue Diamond looked up at her lover, her eyes were shining gold in the dark room. She moved her hands away from Yellow's torso and cupped them on the sides of her face. With her thumbs, Blue wiped away Yellow's tears.
"You aren't using your powers on me, Blue, are you?"
"Trust me, my love, I am not."
Yellow's body tensed up as she continued to cry, letting out all of the emotions that were bottled up. She was happy that Homeworld was changing, she was angry that their mistake thousands of years ago caused Pink to leave, she was sad that all of this was partially her fault. Blue, sensing everything that Yellow was feeling, continued to comfort her. Slowly, Blue led Yellow back to their bed and positioned her over her gem. Yellow had her arms wrapped around Blue tightly as she continued to cry, her face buried in her paramour's chest. Teardrops falling onto her gem, reflecting the little light there was in the room. Blue leaned down to kiss the top of Yellow's head, hoping it would help her relax. Yellow moved her head away from Blue's chest and moved to be in front of her face. Leaning towards Blue, Yellow kissed Blue passionately on the lips. She pulled Blue into her chest and leaned her head on top of Blue's.
"Thank you, Blue, I love you."
"You're welcome, I love you too, Yellow."
Yellow continued to hold Blue as they fell asleep, their bodies intertwined together until the morning star rose. Signaling a new day in…
Era 3…
