Happy Birthday
It was a beautiful sunset in an area somewhat far from Beach City, a small cabin was the place where a birthday was held, more specifically Steven's Birthday
a little young man who had just turned 14 years old, and at this precise moment he was celebrating his first facial hair, to be more specific his beard was growing, everything was laughter and more laughter, like every birthday should be eating cake, told a joke you know, the typical.
Although that would be a little affected right? simple, someone was missing... well, a couple of people, one of them was his mother, and the other was his older brother, well technically older by a year, he would have liked to celebrate his birthday with him. This strange behavior was noticed by her friends and her father, seeing him somewhat distant
"Heavens... and and and does anyone know what's wrong with him? We're supposed to have already resolved the issue of his growth" Amethyst said with some doubt when seeing her little friend away from them
"I'll go talk to him" Connie said, with some concern for her friend but an arm gently rested on his head preventing any approach "I'd better go, I have suspicions of what could be happening to him" Garnet said and then went where he was found Steven
"Is there room for one more?" said the fusion with a small smile, being reciprocated by steven who made a sign for him to sit down, there was a small silence but this was not uncomfortable, it was a calm one being comfortable with the other's company, but sooner or later that little silence would be broken.. "You know, oh you have suspicions right?.." Steven said with a certain discouragement in his voice "You miss him, don't you?" he replied as he rested his hand on her head, without disgust and without refusal he accepted the gesture.
"A little... to say the least, it's been years since he left to travel around the country with Grandpa" he said with a nostalgic tone as he rested his head on Garnet's leg, who didn't complain about this and he just gave a little laugh.
"I understand you.. well rather we understand you we miss him too" she said turning her head and looking at Amethyst, Pearl and Greg who were laughing while eating cake "We also wish he was here with us" Steven was silent a few seconds to take a deep sigh... and without knowing what else to say...
"Yes, I know"
After several minutes watching the sunset, they both decided to go back with the others, whose seeing him only gave him a smile while they gave him another slice of cake which he gladly accepted But... before taking the first bite, oh how far away it was I could see a car something... luxurious to find a word to describe how good that car looked, apart from how expensive of course...
Mostly its shades are a dark green with black finishes, with some .. striking rims since they were of a bright green color with another black finish, but the curious thing about these is that they formed a symbol similar to an hourglass.
"Dad... are you waiting for someone?" He asked with doubt while everyone looked at Greg, waiting for an answer which, feeling somewhat uncomfortable that everyone saw him, quickly said no, leaving those present with more doubts, the car had already arrived where they were parking next to the father's truck...
"Well... who will go?" asked Amethyst, no one said anything for a few moments, long enough for the one in the car to come out giving ah show his face, leaving everyone perplexed, everyone except Connie who did not understand well the reaction of the others the young man, who was wearing a green jacket, with some white lines on the left of his chest with a black circle and the number 10 on it, apart from wearing a watch... quite strange... he slowly approached where they were them, being a little more than two steps away he stopped, and with a small smile on his face he spoke..
"
Hey guys...and by the way Happy Birthday Steven!" he said as he raised his arms keeping his smile .. but seeing that there was no reaction since they just stared at him, apart from Garnet taking off her glasses to look at him with her three eyes
"Umm… is something wrong?" He said hesitantly and somewhat nervously but again there was no response. After a couple of seconds, Pearl was the one who reacted and slowly approached the new Guest.
It was clear that Pearl was trying to remain firm so as not to shed a single tear, already being in front of the young man, as she brought her hands to the face of the young man dressed in green, with a somewhat tearful voice she asked .. "Ben? .. is it really you?"
now the young man already identified as Ben replied "What's up pearl? Aren't you glad to see me?" she just started laughing while she hugged her tightly, with this she made the rest react by also joining the hug, except for connie who didn't know who she was, followed by Steven who would only wait for her moment to speak "Oh old man, look at you, you're taller than pearl, heavens aside I like your style" Amethyst had said with a certain euphoria
"Holy bananas, my son is already a man! You look almost the same or better than I did when I was young" said Gerg with some pride, who only received a small sneer from Amethyst "Ben, what are you doing here?" I ask with doubt pearl
"What? Do you want me to go?" she said with fake sadness "What?! NONO, I was just saying you weren't with Max?"
"Well, several things happened, and in case we stopped traveling and stopped to live for a while in Bellwood, but hey, I wanted to go back to my real home, with you" Ben said with a smile, which was reciprocated by the others. But the little reunion was interrupted by Connie, who coughed a little to get everyone's attention, "Well... not to be rude but who is he?"
"Oh right, sorry connie, this is Ben, oh Benjamin is Steven's brother the reason you didn't know about him was because he had gone on a trip with his grandfather" replied pearl somewhat embarrassed for having left her pupil aside, ah Given this information, Connie was surprised, she did not expect her friend to have a brother. "Oh heavens, sorry for my behavior" she replied somewhat embarrassed, she came a little closer to ah ben to shake his hand, a gesture that I gladly accept
"Nice to meet you Ben, I'm Connie friend of Steven"
"Wow, the pleasure is mine, it's good to know that he already has a girlfriend" said ben with a certain mockery, causing a massive blush in Steven and Connie, both at the same time immediately replied "WE ARE NOT A COUPLE" which only made Steven laugh more ah , followed by Amethyst, passing the seconds they both calmed down, calming down connie and ah Steven, who the latter approached ah Ben leaving both facing each other.
"Happy birthday to you too..." Steven would say with a smile as he offered him the slice of cake which only made Ben give a small smile and gladly accepted the piece... staring at it before taking a bite...
"Je... thanks"
Note: Maybe the most smoked shit but hey it's a fanfic worth shit
