Six Months Later...

(Prologue)

The lose of one of the people that Steven consider family was hard for him to cope, but, with time, he has been able to become less less upset over that tragic day. Even though it still hurts him deeply, he knows that it had to be done. It took nearly two months for the Crystal Gems to get back in order. The newly formed relationship with Amethyst did help him feel better quicker. They were happy with one another. They, basically, were inseparable. Where one went, the other was never far. They loved each other always tried to make time in their day for themselves. Steven mostly let Amethyst pick the activities for the day, which (mostly) was going to FunLand and see who could get a better high score in Skee Ball (which she mostly cheated in).Steven didn't care what they did, just as long they did it together. They had just begun to sleep in the same bed, but it the innocence of that they preserved (at least, that what they said). It wasn't so they could have sex, it was so that they could be close to each other as much as possible. Amethyst couldn't stand to be away from him when they started dating, and she never wanted anything to take her happiness away. Whenever they were in public, Amethyst made sure to flaunt him around. If she noticed girls checking him out, she made it a point to pull him into an open mouth kiss, signaling; "Hey, he's mine, so back off." Amethyst wasn't being possessive over Steven, it's that she didn't like people messing with her stuff, because, for Amy, Steven was her greatest treasure.

Steven was a caring lover. He would always go out of his way to just to make her happy. He worked hard to show how much he loved her. He constantly adore her with gifts, always took to her place she has been before. To him, the was nothing too expensive, no place too far, for his Amethyst. She was Steven's crown jewel (no pun intended), so, in his eyes, she was priceless, and deserves only the best the Universe had to offer (once again, no pun intended). But Amethyst would've been happy with him just being with her everyday.

Now let's return to our heroes as they go about their daily lives.

Scene; Temple (Rose's Room)

Steven awoken from his sweet slumber. As he open his eyes, he began to smile at the the still sleeping form that was Amethyst. Laying next to her always brought Steven blissful sleep. Her soft arms were wrapped around him tight, yet gentle, grip. However, Steven didn't even mind this. Her low breathing brought a calm to his heart. Along as she was at ease, so was his heart. He continued to stare, lovingly, at her sleeping face.

"{softly} You're so adorable." He said before leaning over planting a kiss on her forehead. She giggled soft in her sleep, pulling herself even closer. Steven got a cheeky smile before he began kissing her all over her face. She giggles began to turn into full-on laughter as he moved down her neck.

"[guffaws] Okay! Okay! I'm up. I'm up!". She said, as tried desperately, in her laughing fit, to get out of her lover's grasp.She managed to pin him on his back, sitting down on his bare stomach. He gave her a devilish grin she returned one of her own.

"Now it's my turn." She said as she began to kiss him.

Steven smirked proudly, as if he was unfazed by Amethyst playful assault.

"Do your worst. You can't tickle the non-ticklish."

"Oh, really now?" She then poked him in the side. "Boop."

"*chuckles* Okay, I'm not completely non-ticklish. I give."

"Sure. But I'm not done with you yet. Boop. Boop. Boop."

"[uncontrollable laughter] Stop Amethyst! Please, I-I can't take anymore!"

"{playful} Not until you say you're sorry."

"Okay. Hahaha I'm sorry! O-okay, I'm sorry! Oh, Hohoho l, gonna pee!"

Amethyst finally stopped her attack before he peed his shorts. She laid down on top of him.

"So, how did you enjoy your wake up call?"

"Like I do every morning."

"Amazing?"

"Pretty much."

They shared a passionate kiss. Their hands began to explore each other. Amethyst ran through his long hair, then across his chest abdomen Steven roamed over her curves the smalls of her back. After a few moments, they broke apart, but they remained in the same position.

"So what's on today's agenda?"

"Well, don't I have a surprise for you."

"Oh, do tell."

"You know I can't do that."

She put on a playful pout. "Awww, you're just no fun."

Steven thought that it was genuine expression of disappointment. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I did, now would it?"

"I guess so."

"If you want , we can go now to see it."

"{excited} Really?!"

"[chuckles] Really."

"Then what are we waiting for?!" She stood up, then proceed to drag Steven out of temple.

Hold on, I'm not fully dressed yet."

20 minutes later…

Amethyst waited on the Warp Pad, impatiently. Steven was putting an assortment of items into a blue bookbag.

'What does he even need with a towel?' She thought as she continued to watch him.

"Come on, Steven. Just because I'm ageless doesn't mean I can't die of boredom."

Steven scoffed her claim. "That's exactly what that means. I'm done anyway, so let's go."

"Finally. Let's Warp Out!"

With a dazzling beam of light, they appeared in Rose's garden. Amethyst around suspiciously.

"Alright, where is it?"

Steven gave a huge grin. "If you really want to know, you're just going to have to follow me through here."

"{groans} Are you ever gonna stop teasing me?"

"Nope. Now let's go. We're burning daylight."

"It's close to sundown already."

"All the more reason to start moving."

30 minutes later…

"[groans] How much longer to we have to keep walking? My feet are killing me." Amethyst was beginning to wonder what she had got herself into.

"What, I thought the magnificent Amethyst would be able to run great distances without getting tired."

"I didn't say I was tired. I said my foot are getting sore." She said while looking away to hide the small blush on her from the small compliment. "and wouldn't say I'm magnificent. More lustrous."

She was then surprised by Steven pick her up, placing her on his shoulders with ease.

"What was that for?"

"What? You said that your feet were getting sore. If you still want to walk, then I will be more than happy to let you down."

"*grrrr* Whatever."

"Love you too. And don't worry it's just pass those bushes."

"Finally. I can't wait to see what you got me."

"Oh, I didn't get you a thing."

"WHAT?! You mean to tell me that you had me walk out here for nothing?!"

"Hold up. Just let me rephrase that. I get you anything. I made you something."

"It better be worthwhile or you're gonna regret it."

"Trust when I say you're gonna want to bathe in it."

As they approached said vegetation, Steven let Amethyst off his neck.

"Alright, you ready?"

"Just show me already."

When Steven moved the brush away, needless to say that, Amethyst was star-struck. In front of the duo was got hot spring, surrounded by vividly-colored

crystals, glowing bright into near-night sky. The light showed equally beautiful flowers waved in the small breeze.

"Happy Six Month Anniversary!!"

"Oh thank you, Steven! Thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!!" She said as she swung him side-to-side in a tight bear hug. That's when she realized something that caused her to drop him.

"I completely forgot about that. I don't have anything to give you."

"That's all right. Being here with you is good enough."

"You're too good to me."

"And you're too perfect for me." They shared a sweet kiss before engaging in more conversation. "Now you wait here, I'll go change into my swim trunks, then me you can take a nice soak."

As he walked away, he was stop by a hand. "Wait Steven, there been something wanting to try." Amethyst was looking at the ground as she began to twiddle her fingers.

"Sure. Anything you want."

"Well, you don't have, but, it's just that's hear of people doing it, and really wanted to try it, and…" She was silenced by Steven place a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Amethyst, you know you can ask me anything, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then don't be so nervous."

She looked up at him revealing her flushed face."

"Okay. I was wondering would you try *gulp* skinny dipping with me?"

An even bigger blush ran across his face. "Oh. Well, I'm mean, wow."

"I know what I'm asking is a tall order, but it's something that's been on my mind for a while, and I really want to try it. And this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so."

"..." Steven gave an unsure look.

"You know what, just forgot that I asked. It was a stupid idea. Let's just leave. I'm sure I, pretty much, killed the mood."

"If you want to do so I don't have a problem with it. I'm willing to try something new."

"I really appreciate it. Thanks, Steven."

"Anything for my Amethyst. So I just I'll just get undressed huh?"

"Yea. Me too."

They face away from each other as Steven began remove his clothes Amethyst slowly phased off her's. They, occasionally, looked back each others to make sure the other wasn't looking. Every time they did, however, they would catch a glimpse of their body, which would cause them to look away from each other as quick as possible.

As Steven laid his clothes in a, nearly folded, pile, he heard a small splash. He turned to see Amethyst face away with a blush across her cheeks. He placed his bag on the edge before slowly submerging.

After another moment of an awkward silence, Steven finally spoke.

"Well, here we are."

"Yea. Were doing."

"Pretty wild, huh?"

"*giggles* I guess so, yea."

"Well, how do you like the spring?"

"It's pretty good actually. I feel all soreness leaving my feet."

"Well that's probably the tears from Rose's Fountain."

"Really? No wonder it's so relaxing."

"Yea, I infused it with the spring water from the mountain. then I had Garner to help me built a heat source by creating a magma pocket a few hundred below it."

"How long did it take for you do all this?"

"About a month. It was hard, tiring, and dangerous, but there is nothing that I wouldn't do for you."

"Awww. Thanks Steman."

"No problem, so what now?"

She moved closer to him, wearing a devilish grin.

"I got an idea."

There was something about her voice that made Steven uneasy.

"[nervously] What would that be?"

"Splash Fight!"

A small wall of water engulf Steven's face. When it reseeded, his hair covered his eyes as a stream of water squirted out of his mouth.

"You do realize that this means war. Steven began to shoot torrents of water.

"Stop! Please, no more!"

"Feel my wrath!" He shouted as he continued his assault.

"[giggles] I can't take anymore! S-Steven, I can't breathe."

"You're a gem. You don't need to breathe. A Quartz at that."

Amethyst made a swift move through the steaming waist-deep water, grabbing his wrists, pressing herself against him, pushing him on the wall of the pool.

"I may be a Quartz, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you get away with that."

"[playfully] Oh yeah. What are you going to do about it?" Next thing Steven saw was a tidal wave. When it reseeded, Steven stood unmoved torrential hit, with a big grin on his face. "Now,I'm really going to get you."

"Now Steven I'm serious. I don't want to play anymore." Steven suddenly sunk in the waist deep water. "Steven. Come on Steven, you gotta surface eventually." After two minutes she began to worry. "Steven, you can come up now. This isn't funny anymore. It wasn't funny to begin with. Come o-."

"ARRRRGH!!!" Steven roared as he rose out of the water, grabbed Amethyst from behind. Which, of course, caused Amethyst to shriek. "Shark Attack." Amethyst began to fail thrash about in Steven's tight grip. "Whoa! Easy, Amethyst. It's just me Steven."

Amethyst suddenly stopped everything, and turned toward Steven, with a timid expression. "Steven?"

[chuckles] Yeah. You should have seen the look on your face. It's was priceless."

Steven didn't see Amethyst expression change to pure rage.

SMACK*

But he certainly felt that.

Steven sat on a ledge inside the spring, while rubbing the red handprint on on the left side his cheek. Amethyst was also to his left, with her arms crossed, nose turned up, facing away from him.

"You know, that was uncalled for."

"Hmph! I told you that I wasn't playing anymore."

"You can't expect me not to do that. You, literally, blasted me with water. I was just getting some revenge."

"Even so, you could've given me a heart attack."

"Actually no, I couldn't have. Your a gem. And if I'm not mistaken, gems don't have heart."

"That doesn't mean we don't have feelings." She rest her head on his shoulder. "You really scared me."

"Well for what's it's worth…" He spoke as he kissed her forehead. 'Steven…'

"Steven…'

"...I'm sorry, Amethyst. I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought a little scare would be fun. Do you forgive me?"

Amethyst looked up at him. She began to look at him with a look of wonder. She reached over, and softly brushes against the area she struck.

"Amethyst."

"You're too good for me."

"What do you mean?"

"No matter day of the week, time of the year, how bad things get, you're always protecting everyone, including me. You at you, a master swordfighter, with healing abilities, an impenetrable shield, the ability to fuse with pretty much anyone. Add a robe, and you're pretty much a god. But me, I'm an overcooked, mess up, poor excuse for a Quartz. Shoot without you, I wouldn't been to beat Jasper. Without you I wouldn't have came has far I have now. Without you, I-"

Amethyst could no longer speak she let it all out, and into Steven, who happily wrapped her into a loving embrace. After a minute to process her words, he finally spoke.

"I think you're pretty great." At those words Amethyst crying slowly came to a rest. "Over the years began to realise that I wouldn't be here without you. You saved my life countless times. Growing up, you were the one I felt closer to than everyone else. Me you were inseparable. You had my back so many times, I could never pay you back. What I do is somewhat for everyone, but really, I do it for you. I want nothing more in this world than to for you to be safe, happy, and most of all, to love yourself as much as I do."

Amethyst looked up at Steven, her face soften as she slowly closed the distance between them. "[softly]I love you."

"I love you too."

IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH LEMONS, PLEASE SKIP TO THE END OF THE CHAPTER.

They began to share a passionate kiss. They then repeated. Every Time they departed, they weren't satisfied, and rush back into each other arms. Their roamed each bodies instinctively. When Steven moved away from her lips, for a moment, she longed for him to return, but then the feeling was replaced a chill as Steven place kisses on the sides on her neck. She let out audible gasps as he moved downward. He then places on her gem, as her grips on him became tighter. He he came back up to her ear and whispered sweet nothings. They're eyes became filled with must. No, lust was too dark, too dirty to be used to describe, for this was full of nothing but love. They're eyes became filled with a burning fire that only their lover could quench.

"Steven, I-"

"Shhh, no talking. Let our love speak for itself."

Amethyst nodded, as slowly pushed herself against him. He continued to kiss her, as adjusted himself towards her. He inadvertently moved to the other side of the pool. Slowly, he pushed himself into her. Amethyst began to moan into the kiss, as she held on tighter to her world; Steven. He pulled back, but only so he could push himself deeper. He wanted to give her his whole body, no. That wasn't it. He wanted to give her his soul. He wanted to be become one with his life line; Amethyst. She buried her face into his shoulder, trying desperately hard not to let him hear her moan. It was weird. At the same time, she wanted him to hear how great she felt with him. She wanted the world to know how much she loved this moment with her Steven. He, on that note, wanted to make her feel like heaven was her's to do with. He didn't care about how he felt, only that she was happy with him. He began to thrust faster. The amount of pleasure coursing through her body caused her brain to go numb. She could no longer think anymore, only thing the registered was that the fact that her savior was pleasing her. She could no longer hide her moans, as the ecstasy was too much for her. Her moans were words of encouragement for Steven as he moved even faster. They closer closer to the peak of pleasure, nothing would them from reaching together. They yelled their love for one another, as they danced with their climax.

End of Mature content.

They rested in each other's arms. They didn't want to leave each warm. So they stayed like this until they could no longer in the springs. As they stold on the Warp Pad, they shared a sweet kiss before zooming back home.

Their home.
