Fusions fascinate me to no end.
I'e seen such love before
A beautiful young girl and a beautiful young boy
A girl of Pink and a boy of blue.
The girl was the most beautiful yet most vicious
The boy was the one who always moved forward
And yet, they changed fate for each other as they fused together, becoming the most powerful being in existence.
See their wind, their fury, their fire deep in their hearts.
What brought them together? Their love.
Love you'd think would be considered their greatest weakness and yet, that's what made them strong.
I'd envy that, I'd envy that if love didn't become our consequence born of neglect and regrets. Regrets over the amount of fate that could have been changed if you done it sooner.
See them on that sunset swallowed beach. So many beautiful colours too. Each star came into existence in the sky, like they were opening doorways. Doors to where you ask? Different destinations...different conclusions.
In the end it didn't matter. She died and he was left in despair.
The realm Garnet was left in was covered in gradient shades of blue and red that rotated around her. She looked at her hands as she leaned over on the blue fold out chair she was sitting on. They weren't in the stage to defuse, although it did make her equally confused as she saw Ruby and Sapphire standing there, left and right of her respectively, apart as spotlights enveloped them.
"There's a reason why we couldn't see beyond the darkness." Said Sapphire.
The realm changed that into the beach they knew at sunset as the shades of blue and red blended to create beautiful hues of violet, with Garnet's eyes honing in on the waves.

"The Darkness was too strong to begin with." Said Ruby, who pointed towards Steven who stood there, ever still. Many awful feelings flowed through Garnet and left in a mixed twister shown by the cyclones that formed in the distance in the oceans before them.
Steven stood there as he looked at Garnet, who was taken aback by his black, diamond eyes.
"Don't blame yourself." He said, his voice calm but holding a type of magic echo to them.
Different versions of many other Sapphires popped in one by one as they lined up in a row, streaming to her right. The same happened to Ruby, as numerous Rubies popped onto her left and into the nearest horizon.
"There's nothing you could have done."
No. That's a lie. Garnet could have tried harder. It was her fault that she forced the split up. Her powers were considered useless if she couldn't see it coming.
"It was right there...in front of me." She said, her voice and in sync with the voices the Rubies and the Sapphires that spoke at the same time.
Hydrangea petals fell from above. It was like the storm, that day. He was on the roof and she had hoped they would be closer. Rain would always feel bittersweet.
"I underestimated the Lillims power. It blinded me. I wasn't strong enough."
Steven approached her as he grabbed both of her hands as he looked up at her. Those eyes...she didn't care that they weren't his. She could tell it was him. No matter what form he'd take, she'd know who Steven was, without a doubt.
"Again, that isn't your fault." He stated. He sounded just like his mother.
"Remember our conversation. You see the future you want to happen and you make it happen. So tell me. What do you want to happen now Garnet?"
She froze in place as she noticed all the Rubies and Sapphires looking at her...then at the raging storm that got closer to the shore. Judgement on that was yet to pass, but if she could choose.
"I want to save you." She answered. A way of words, steadfast and true.
She felt Steven inch closer as he grasped her hands tighter as he smiled.
"I know you do." Steven replied.
"Amethyst and Pearl had a hard time understanding that there was nothing they could do. This is my responsibility. While I won't give up, it's my job to save you right now."
Garnet tried her best to not cry. So much that hurt him and so much she couldn't see. But he was right. They had to make the future they wanted. So she was prepared to listen to him. Like his mother used to. Memories of her demise haunted her and the others. She did not want the same fate for her son. He needed to come back. He was their voice, he was their heart. He was their family.
"It hurts too much." She commented.
"Please come back to us. That's the future I want."
Steven nodded. She had to trust that he could make the right decisions. The shadows had to pass. They had to.
"I'll try." He said.
"Now. You need to leave. Sunstone was super fun, by the way."
The petals stopped falling as the storm calmed down. The Rubies and Sapphires faded into black smoke as Steven let Garnet go and slowly walked backwards into the ocean. They held eye contact as the ocean turned obsidian as chains and clasps shot out of the water to his wrists. Garnet stood there, in deeper turmoil, as Steven vanished into the water.
"I love you..." Garnet muttered.
I love you too Garnet...
A mighty crash of lightning signaled the storms sudden return. She scrunched her fists as she tried so hard not to fall apart. He was right. She was not going to let him fall to this cruel fate.
Not if she could help it.
