"Blue! Yellow...White!" The sound of the slams on the chamber doors reverberated through the empty room, "Please! I'm sorry!" The loudest slam proved to be the last as Steven sunk to the floor, "I thought you'd like it…" He whispered as he leaned against the doors, peering into the blackness of the slit between them, trying to see if he could spot anything.

That was useless.

He sighed. Sure, this wasn't the first time he was left in here, but he had never seen White so angry before. All he did was bring a little animal into the palace, and it was so cute! He honestly thought they would like it.

The animal was warped back to earth as quickly as he was thrown into the chamber. White didn't even let him explain this time— not that it normally makes a difference anyway.

He wouldn't be in the chamber for long, of course. He had to eat. He was an organic being after all...a hybrid organic being. A being that shouldn't exist...but an organic being nonetheless.

Steven didn't have many ways to pass time in the chamber. All he had was his thoughts to accompany him as he sat in the darkness of the small room. He let his head slip to the floor, landing it with a soft, "Ow." as it clunked against it. Sleep was the only option here. After all, it it was the easiest to get through the punishment. The only other thing to do was count the stars… but he had done that numerous times before. Four hundred-twenty-six stars— and 6 planets!

He watched silently out the window as he let his eyes drifted closed, "Goodnight stars." He smiled to himself. What a weird thing to do, saying goodnight to stars.

How long had it been? How long? He couldn't answer that question. Time doesn't pass in space like it does on Earth… not in ways you can observe at least.

It must have been at least three earth days. The hunger was unbearable. He stopped being able to cry— nothing would come out. He had also stopped trying to get someone's attention. After doing it for hours no one had come… would anyone come? What if they forgot about him?

Steven whimpered quietly as he sat against the wall, "I wanna go out now...I won't do it again I promise…" He silently begged for any small noise to be Blue coming to let him out: A shift in the wall, his own breathing, the rumble of his stomach, soft clacks of a gem walking down the hall—

… Foot steps? No one but the diamonds can enter this part of the palace! Steven jumped up, his lost determination suddenly flooding back to him, "Blue!"He shouted. He's feet ran faster than he could think as the doors slowly opened. There Blue Diamond stood, overwhelmingly bigger than the small gem-human hybrid. Anger was written in her expression as she glared down at him— not that her expression mattered to Steven.

He ran to her, collapsing at her feet, his dry sobs making the diamond flinch as her anger turned to pity, "Pink…" She bent down, gently putting her hand on his back, "I'm sorry… I should've come sooner. I knew the time allotment was much too long." She sighed quietly as she picked him up into her arms, "You must remember to keep organic beings on their planets. They aren't meant to be here."

He nodded into her chest as she pet his head, "I wish you would behave better Pink. If you keep going like this White is going to take away your colony." Steven nodded again silently. He couldn't get his colony taken away. Earth was his first colony. It was his only colony, the one he had begged for for so long.

There was no way he could lose that.

Hello! New story! First story!

I really like the homeraised Steven AU idea by teenageukulelescreamo / homeraisedsteven on tumblr. I haven't looked through anything else on the accounts other than the title of the AU, so I'm fresh with ideas. The idea for the AU is entirely credited to teenageukulelescreamo / homeraisedsteven, though.

This is just like a pilot… checking stuff out I guess. I plan to write what exactly happened in the next chapter as well as what the diamonds think of Steven ect. I'm excited :)

I may change the rating throughout the story if it gets more graphic.

I'm not the best writer and also basically a beginner, so do bear with me. I'd adore criticism and corrections because I really want to improve my writing. Thanks 3
