Connie Maheswaran groaned as she heard her smart phone ring. She was in the middle of going over some reports from Little HW RD about an energy project she, Peridot and Pearl was working on, and didn't really want to be annoyed or distracted. Though.. It was HIS tone..his new one: Love Dramatic.

She smirked as she answered the call and a smiling Steven appeared on a video feed. With a small kiss of his teeth his he spoke.

"Hey."

The tone, that damn husky tone. Always had sent a shiver through her.

"Yo, Mister. Kind of late for a call." It was midnight after all.

"Is it?"

"It is. Already getting ready for bed.."

"Awe, want me to tuck you in?"

Connie blushed a bit at his flirtatious smile. She licked a bit before laying on her bed. "I think you just want a bed buddy."

Steven shrugged the blush bright on his cheek." I mean, you do sleep better as a small spoon, Heart Berry."

She laughed with faux shocked. "Really? 'Heart Berry' now?"

"Oh, you like it."

She acted like she trying to decide before nodding playfully

"I do, I really do." She shrugged with a smug grin. "So Big guy, what can your Heart Berry do for you or did you want to see what I was wearing to sleep, Huh?"

Steven paused and tried to get a word out, as if he was really considering it. She found it hilarious.

With an arched brow and a slight purr to her tone she spoke.

"Wanna see what you missing, Mister?"

Steven for his part, let loose a slight embarrass chuckle.

"Knowing you, probably wearing a hoodie and spanx."

"Wrong..Do you wanna see?"

"I called for a reason. I can't remember it..cause now I'm curious."

Seeing a hungry look in his eyes made her more impish. With a slight purr she slowly move the phone downward..towards her neck before pulling back up, with a chuckle.

Seeing the dumbfounded blush made her laugh. Steven groaned as he looked away slightly.

"Yea, laugh it up Minx.

"Oh you Bad boy. What, you want a bite of your 'Heart Berry'?."

"Bite?"

"Sup Biscuit, remember what you originally called for? Other than me, of course."

He laughed fairly with a Smug look. "She says as if I didn't just make her night."

"He says as if I didn't make his day."

"Fair enough."

"Same."

The two glared in silence before they shared a love filled laugh.

"So seriously, no teasing. What's up?"

"I want to show you something. Ok?"

"Wow me, like always."

"It's what I live for."

Steven opened his mouth wide showing his teeth, tonsils, and tongue. All normal.

Connie found herself gulping a bit and blushing. 'Ok..so why is this hot to me?'

"That's a nice mouth, I like that mouth."

Steven held a finger to cease her from joking. His teeth glowed pink for a quick moment before his canines were replaced with sharp looking fangs. He closed it with a snarling smile and a confident glint in his eyes.

Connie for her part absentmindedly rubbed her neck and her legs together.

'OOOO..OK, I REALLY LIKE THAT MOUTH.'

"Heh, guess you like them."

Connie blushed as she moved her neck out of the frame."Quiet you."

His grin grew a bit more beastly, as he licked his new features. "Wasn't you just offering me a taste, Heart Berry?"

Connie was red faced and was trying to fight the smile on her face and race of her heart.

"Oooo.. You…Fucking.."

"Is the bed buddy offer still on the table?"

Connie took a deep breath calming down, slightly.

"You know I wouldn't allow any sleep, if you came."

"Threatening me with a good time berry."

Connie rolled her eyes at the response, causing a chuckle to escape from her opponent.

"Biting my style now."

"Among other things else I want to, but I digress. You know there's gonna be a costume party at LHW next week for halloween, Which is why I made these pearly whites. "

"Oh, so you're going as a vampire?"

"I'm going as whatever can compliment you."

Connie gave a false astonishment. "Well aren't we bold and assuming. What makes you think I am going?"

"Pssshh! You're going you have no reason not to go.."

"I...Have no costume."

"You… Have access to 'costume spheres'. Which let us talk about that..What and how?"

Connie gave him cocky smile while she shrugged. "Never underestimate the power of weebs with access to alien technology, big imagination, and a drive to make money…"

She sighed after that. "Anyway

those spheres are untested and unloaded. Basically they're hard light globes. So once again no costume."

"Then we'll get some together. Make a day of it."

Connie looked at the man with suspicion wagging her finger at the hybrid. "What's the plan,Universe?"

"Saturday, early. You and me head to Empire go costume and miscellaneous shopping. We'll spend the day modeling for and goofing off with each other. Eat and head back to the temple or I drop you off at your residence at LHW. Get out of Delmarva for a day, You in?"

Connie laughed a bit. "Oh my..sound like you're asking for a date, rather than an outing."

"I am."

Connie was stunned at how serious and straightforward he was. It shook her a bit.. In a very very good way. She knew she was blushing, glowing...she didn't care.

"Ok..ok. I'm in..Saturday early..What time?"

Steven chuckled his face a tomato."Yes! ok. .On the road by 9:30. I know it's early for you..so I'll bring a blanket so you can get some sleep on the way there."

"So we're taking the Dondai opposed to the lion express?.. Shame was looking forward to holding you during the ride."

"Wha?"

Connie had to giggle at his slightly startled face.

Steven growled before speaking deeply and huskily. "Oh haha..I'm so gonna bite you with these, impish minx."

"Mmm..Sink them in."

Steven's eyes widen at her tone basically dripping with wanton intent. Didn't help the way her half kidded black eyes seem to glow in the light, the small bite of her bottom lip, or the way she rubbed her neck. All made gulp and breathed deeply, a slow lick of his fangs.

'OOOOH THIS WOMAN OF MINES.'

"You remember that Connie."

She nodded casually. "Sure sure..Now..I gotta sleep."

"No, you don't.."

"I wanna sleep...So..Saturday right?"

"Yeah..Me and you. Early."

"I got it..Good night, Mister."

"Sweet dreams, Heart Berry."

Connie smirked. "You're gonna make sure I do?"

"If I have to...Though the way you been looking at my fangs..I think that's already covered. Haha."

Connie shook her head at his boast. He could have that.

"Yeah sure. So I'm gonna let you go. ok?"

Steven nodded before pressing his cheek to the lens. Connie sighed with faux annoyance before she gleefully kissed the screen. Steven chuckled at the 'chu' of her kiss.

"Happy? Now."

"Would've been better lips to cheek but it will suffice."

Connie shook her head with a yawn.."Sheesh, the things I do for you."

"That because you love me."

"You loved me first, So ha..Ok letting you go."

"Saturday..Bye Heart Berry."

Connie nodded as she ended the call.. She did feel tired but..She had one last thing to do.

*A few minutes later*

Steven just exit his bathroom from a shower where he saw that he received a text on his phone. He opened it….

"Oooooohh! Save!"

Inside was a picture sent by Connie..on her bed..full body. Wearing one of his shirts ridden up showing her stomach and a pair of yery small yet very loose fitting dark blue sweat shorts. She was winking and her lips was a bit puckered up as if she was sending a kiss. He pressed the button to hear the message.

"Wish it was you instead of your shirt, but It'll have to do. Until Saturday, Mister...oh and don't forget..SINK.THEM.INNN..Love ya. Heart Berry."

Steven face was aflame and he could feel himself floating as he kissed the phone, he'll be sleeping in the air tonight.

As the Jam buds rested they knew they would have sweet dreams..or more than dreams tonight..One thing was for certain neither could wait for Saturday.
