Amethyst's P.O.V

Operation 'Get Two Short members out of their mopping fluck' was a success, and in more ways in one if I do say so myself. Took forever though, and man do I stink at names, but oh well. I just can't believe that having a trip to the boring old Library would actually help get Steven and Peridot to smile again.

I never enjoyed looking at books. Sure Manga is pretty cool, and comics are sweet and funny, but I just never got into it. Still when I let Peridot go hang out in the teen section with me after the place got a wicked cool makeover, the green nacho went on a riot and I mean the good kind. The crazy gem fitted right on in with the crazy geek club as she started to play online games with them once she found out that one of them have Quiver like her. Now I don't know how to use that thing but for live videos I see when I watch them, but once she got into it I basically made her into an addicted gamer gem. I heard it being called Gamer girls, but Peri made sure those guys called her gem after a heated argument with them. I swear those dudes just have a crush once she started to explain some sort of spaceship to him in a language I would never hope to understand. It was just great to see the green small gem flying and finally enjoying herself once in the last three weeks that Lapis had left. Now it's been only 24 hours later back at home, and she now uses her tablet to play nothing but more games.

Steven though was a whole other story. There's no other way to describe this kid then just saying he's got it bad. Like He's zoning out and sighing in dazed puppy cuteness bad. I think Steven's got a crush with the library boy. Shush readers, you didn't hear it from me.

The hybrid hasn't been able to drop his new book since we left the Library yesterday, and before that he was blushing none stop, stuck in his chair while holding the old blue book to his chest. I swear I thought his gem and brain just shut down when that kid kissed his hand. Now Amethyst maybe lazy, but I ain't stupid. I knew that Bussiere kid was hitting on my little brother. I may love my brother dearly, but big sister Ame needs to place a bar when anyone can have a chance with my number one fan. That Bussiere kid though wasn't half bad to look at. He had fair skin, a bit player than Steven's really, and had silverish blonde hair which I couldn't tell was bleached that way or not. I honestly think that my bro was really just inserted in his eyes. They were mix matched of light lightening blue and hard ruby red. I've seen mix matched eyes before, but that Bussiere kid had ones even I never seen before.

Now I know nothing about the french teen, but it was clear that he hit Steven in places I don't even think he knew he had. He was always reading that Nil book, and always smiling and blushing when he isn't. I just watched from afar when Pearl had to remind him last night to even eat dinner. The love sick hybrid just went off in telling Garnet and Pearl what an awesome guy Ethan was. Then they asked about his other books Connie had gotten him, and he didn't even bother to notice them gone. It was awesome. This guy literally got my brother to forget that backstabbing cunt in just two hours flat next to me trying for two weeks straight. Like I said, my number one has got it bad.

Right now it was the afternoon and I was hanging out in the kitchen, eating Steven's food and plates again, when I turn around and see Steven on the couch once again in his book. He was already halfway down with it and it wasn't even a full 24 hours. I won't be surprised if he goes back to the library tomorrow just to see him. Still, like any big sister I got to have my fun and tease the hell out of him, so I walk over with a carton of eggs.

"Hey Steven," He nodded, but head was still in the book as I sat on the couch. Let the teasing begin. "Still into that book I see."

Steven smiled as he looked up from his story and nodded. "Yeah, Ethan was right for me to try it. It's about a young teen girl ending up on an island with other teens trying to escape before their year is up. If they don't... well that part it sad, but she meets a boy who is the leader and it's so cool and-"

Okay, he's talking way too fast and my slow brain won't ever keep up. I cover his mouth and pop an egg in my mouth. "Cool dude, but don't spoil the book for me. I might want to read it."

"You'll never read it." He frowned in confusion before just rolling his eyes.

"Yeah well what I really want to talk about with you," I lean in and give him my teasing smirk. "Is that pretty eyes french boy who kissed your hand."

That did it! Oh man Steven's face went so pink I swear he looked like the shade of his gemstone. He quickly tried to talk, seeing the blue grow slightly darker. "W-Why would you want to talk about him?"

I laugh, continuing to smirk at my blushing brother. "Come on Steven. I'm not stupid, it's clear that you got a crush on him."

"A-A crush!? You're crazy Amethyst, he's just a friend."

"Okay, and I'm really a purple Jasper." I roll my eyes at this kid. I mean come on, he obviously has something for this boy. "If he is just a friend, then why don't you go back down there and talk to him again? Get to know your 'just a friend'."

"He is just a friend," He pouts, but then sighed as he shrugged and looked a bit nervous. "But that lady was upset when we chatted for the first time. Besides I don't think he would even remember me."

This hybrid was obviously impossible right now. "Look Steven, just go up there and at least get his phone number. That way you can find out when he is free so you can get to know him."

I also wanted to say that it would also help get rid of Connie out of his head. I love my little brother with all of my heart, hell we are quartz and we stick together. There was no way in the whole universe that I want to see depressed Steven again for another two weeks. I hated what that little chick did to him, and even tried to get Pearl and me to side with her. The nerve of that girl! She called in the day after the white haired boy brought him back from Kevin's party, and I quickly told her to nicely fuck off before hanging up the phone. After I came back home with Peridot and Steven yesterday, I fell for Pearl when she told the young lady to leave and not come back. Well I knew that mama hen that Pearl is, she mostly likely told the tiny human to fuck off too. I don't want to tell Steven that cause he would go right back to being depressed. He doesn't need to think about that betrayer which is why he needs to see that odd but cute boy soon. Right now would be better.

I sigh and stand up, looking a bit pleadingly at the brunette. "At least try to see him this afternoon Steven. I know you want to, and besides I think Peri wants to go and see her gaming crew."

My pleading face always makes the hybrid cave as I saw him smile and nod in surrender. "Fine Amethyst. I'll take Peridot back to the library and see Ethan."

"Alright!" I couldn't stop my big grin on my face when I finally felt victory. Amethyst, you are a born match marker. I hug my little brother and lean against his shoulder to tease him. "Don't forget to wear some lip bum on the way out dude."

Oh the red cherry blush on Steven's face was just the said cherry on top of my sundae of victory here. After another shout from my favorite number one fan, I finally chuckle and leave the boy embarrassed on the couch. As much as I love to follow and spy on the little dude, it was better just to eat his food and hear the story later from Peri when they came back. I head to my room to eat and clean up my junk a bit with a big smile on my face. It was nice not to see my short squad upset anymore.

Andy's P.O.V

Honestly, seeing girls gush over guys doesn't sicken me in the slightest. It's what girls do no matter the age really, they always gush over a crush and talk about them day in and day out. Sure, they don't gush over me which sucks, but hey they just don't get the sweet charm that is Andy Williams. Yeah, girls are weird and stuff but it was cool and never really bothered me as a kid, and still doesn't now.

It's seeing my best friend gush over a boy that made me both chuckling and cringing at times.

It was crazy, I have never seen Ethan this love sick over someone before. Granted, I have seen him get all blushed in the face and even flirty if the boy happened to be a shy one. My bro does have a type though of normally grays with brown curly hair and hazel eyes, but hey he isn't judgey if you got a good personality on his love scale. Now though, not only was he blushing the guy was in dream land. Not even joking. I have never seen him so lost in his mind that he was knocking over books and dropping things half of the time. He was smiling like a puppy that just got a belly rub, and it was something cause he always smiles while on the job. When asked what was up, I was shocked who got my best friend struck by a cupid's love arrow.

At first I didn't even remember the kid, but getting flashes of what happened at Kevin's party got my head reeling. Even though I didn't know too much, it didn't take a lot to know what was happening that day. Still seeing those dazed out black eyes and happy blissful smile on that kid's face still haunts me, cause it almost may me swore not to go to a party again. That little man was just saved by my friend from being another party rape victim. I heard stories, seen them on the news, but never once really seen it about to go down. It gave me shivers when I saw the big men leave the party with angry faces, and when Ethan said that they were the ones about to rape the boy he saved I almost felt my stomach drop and leave my ass. Not gonna lie, Ethan is a skinny nerd who can fight if need be thanks to his dad, but no way he can take down three dudes at once as big as them. I mean, the silver blonde kid is shorter than me. Well, when we took the kid back home I had no idea that my friend would even see him again. It appeared now that I was wrong.

Turns out yesterday while I was working at my new job at the Big Donut here in Beach City, Ethan saw the kid again. His little crush's name was Steven it seemed, and man was this dork gushing hard. Just a mention of his eyes would send him going crazy. He started to explain to me what happened between the two at the library. Got to hand it to the man for flirting his way to the kid's heart, hearing from the blushing teen how much he made the kid blush as well. Though I did think he went over the top with the hand kissing, I swear he was acting like a prince of cheesy puns when he explained that whole episode. Though I was happy with the story and happy for him, Ethan of course went into complaining mode.

"I don't know Andy... What if I messed up and freaked him out? What if he doesn't like me like that? I mean he blushed, but what if it was more in embarrassment!? Oh man what if-"

I couldn't help but groan and shove a piece of donut into his mouth as I took a sip of my soda. "Dude," I cut him off with a soft glare. "Shut up with the 'What If' game or I'm sticking more than just a donut down your throat."

Ethan gave me a pouting look, chewing the bit of donut as crossed his arms. "You are so mean."

I shrugged, leaning back on the tree we were under by the Library. "Well what can I do? I told you I'm proud of you, and then you dropped from a gushing teen girl to a nervous Ethan rant again."

"But I can't help it," The silver blonde sighed as he covered his face and shook his hair. It was a weird little quirk he does when over thinking. "I told you how he came in all sad and stuff, talking about that girl he had a fight with at the party. I mean... could it be that that was his girlfriend?"

I do remember that fight. Kevin was spreading rumors how the two were dating and how they can make a bigger chick who was so hot and better than him. The whole thing sounded weird and sick to think about, but the fight was crazy. I tapped my chin with the straw in my cup as I answered, "No idea. Maybe, but it sounded more like the girl was breaking up with him. I mean, it was over two weeks ago."

"That makes it worse! What if Steven d-doesn't even swing that way," Ethan bit his lip, looking even more sad and hopeless, like a kicked puppy. "How can he like me if he already had a girlfriend?"

"Dude, you just told me how he straight up called you pretty eyes when he saw her, and then blushed up a storm when you kissed his hand. There is also a thing called being Bi or pans you know. Don't tell me you wouldn't date someone like that."

Ethan flinches and looks at me with a slightly harsh glare. "Of course I would. It doesn't matter to me. You of all people know how much of a hypocrite I would be if I was like that. Like him..."

Oh shit, sore father topic. Got to think fast! "Whoa chill dude. I was joking," I sighed, rubbing my neck as I turn to really look at him. "Look, I'm just saying that you got to stop worrying so much. I don't know anything about this Steven kid, but he sounds pretty cool. No cooler than me of course, but still cool. Trust me, just play it cool and everything will be alright man."

"Maybe you're right," Ethan sighs softly, giving me a thankful smile before his eyes got distance and he went to gushing land again. I could even hear him mumbling, "He smelled like daisies..."

I just shook my head and continued eating my burger as he gushed once more about his future boyfriend. I don't know how deep his day dream was, but my mind drifted elsewhere, coming down to his Dad. I kind of hate the guy, okay I really hate the guy.

Can you blame me, the asshole is the very embodiment of shit coming out of the said asshole. It shocks me at times that Ethan speaks so highly of the man, much less call him a father. I've been friends with the blonde since we were in diapers and even I could tell what a jerk he was to his son. Right away he would push his own son to be uncomfortable and not have any fun of any means. Don't get me wrong, I love football and rough housing at the time like any ten year old would like me, but I could tell that Ethan just wasn't that type of kid. He liked to play make believe and more adventure games with me, even stories where I was a prince and hero while he was a princess and even a cool side kick. I remembered when we played house all the time and Ethan was the wife between us. Sure it wasn't my cup of tea, but I was just happy with my best friend was happy. By the time we were teens hitting high school, I kind of knew my best friend was gay for dudes, abs, and dicks.

While I think most guy friends would be slightly creeped out, I was all for it when he finally told me. Ethan was so happy and relieved when I accepted him, having to hold the normally smiling and cheerful boy while he sobbed in my chest. I honestly saw it as a bonus on my end cause that meant that we don't have to fight over the same girl. I always ask him for girl advice, which ends up with me falling flat half the time when he gives me something to work with. I really should stop asking him what girls like, he doesn't even like girls. Well i give him good advice on my part. I may not know ladies, but the Andy knows all about the men. Thinking that that now that sounds weird.

Ethan's Dad, when he finally told the family, was what made me put him on my asshole list. He straight up told him to stay at my place for a while. The mother fucker kicked his own son out for a week before letting him back inside. The nerve of the jerk! Me and my mother had to comfort him while he cried and looked half dead none stop. We still went to school, and I was happy to hear from Rea and her and their baby brother doesn't care about him liking guys, not even his mother did which was great. It shocked me when i heard though that both Rae and Adan was questioned about their own sexuality though. For fuck sake you second son is fucking nine, he doesn't even know what sex was till you told him! Yeah, so the asshole was on my shit list. Even questioned mine when I was still Ethan's friend. I like tits and pussy though so me fucking my best friend is out. Dude doesn't believe me though.

It shocks me though how much Ethan still loves him and looks up to him. When anyone tries to treat his father like trash, even me, the kid stands up for his father. He still calls him the awesome dad ever, though it was much sadder than before. I didn't know whether to be sad or angry about that. Sad that my friend still loves his father even though his dad might not feel the same for him. Then mad cause that jerk doesn't even know how much loyalty he has in his son, and yet still treats him like shit. I hope the man realizes that before that thin loyalty he has finally snaps.

I sigh, getting my head out of the topic as I see two figures walking up to us. I was quick to see one of them be an odd green chick looking to be on her tablet streaming. Her whole body was odd, maybe a cosplayer. Well, she was walking with someone that caught my eye pretty quickly. His curly and brown eyes gave it away quick, plus the pink shirt and yellow star that Ethan mentioned before. In fact, was my dude still in la la land? Fuck dude, you're crush is walking right up to us.

"Hey Ethan," I elbow his arm as he finally snapped out of dream land and snapped a small glare from me. I wave it off and grab his chin. "Even with the puppy pout. Look, you're tiny man squeeze is back."

I turn his head and watch in delight as his eyes widen in shock, quickly turning pink when the kid finally came up to us. He looked cute for a boy, not gonna lie, but I almost couldn't help my laughter when he tensed up just like my friend and left off a small blush as well. Damn these two don't even know how much they are gushing right now.

"Steven come on," The green chick exclaimed loudly, tapping at her tablet. "I'm about to reach level twenty two on my wizard, and I need to tell my gang!"

The kid, steven, seem to not have heard her because he was looking at my friend like he was the most people person in the world. "H-Hi..." Damn this kid was gushing more than Ethan.

"H-Hey yourself..." Oh great their both gushing. Just great man.

I chuckled and stood up, giving the boy a hand as he finally snapped out of his head to notice. "Hey there. You're Steven right," I take his hand and shake it, the kid shaking back as I smile and continue. "I'm Andy. My Ethan told me a lot about you."

"H-He did." I couldn't help but notice how the grip on my hand tighten a bit when i let slip the 'My' part. I ignore it and just grin.

"Yup! I would love to get to know you. It's not everyday we get to meet new friends."

Steven smiles, but I could clearly see something was wrong with it. He looked nervous, confused, but mostly jealous. This was good. I give a look to Ethan, who was glaring slightly at me. He knew what I was doing, but I just flashed him a fake loving look. I had to pull my hand away cause the grip this kid had was starting to hurt. He looked just as shocked by my look like he was at the sudden gripe he had on my hand. This kid wasn't half bad, but I needed to test him somehow. He might be confused on what was going on, and I just wanted to test something out. Not just anyone can have my bro on a silver plate.

Before you get to Ethan heart, you got to go through me. So let's see Steven, if you can pass Andy's special dating approval test.

Hope you guys like the new points of views here. I thought it would be great to show Amethyst and Andy's points on the two love birds.

I'm gonna say this now, writing jealous Steven will be hard as fuck for me. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter though. Next one is going to have all kinds of confusion feelings between the hybrid and my Oc.

Anyway, see you guys later.

High Five The Sky!
