Steven was getting Sora a brownie when he noticed a girl with red hair, which had a blue flower in it. He looked at the girl, who was playing a card game. He couldn't help but stare. What's wrong with me?! I gotta get this brownie to Sora! Steven thought. He rushed over to the stairs and went up them. He hurried over to their room, and saw Sora laying on the bed, looking at Steven.
"Hey! Where's my brownie?" Sora asked.
"Here!" Steven went up to Sora and handed him his brownie.
"Thanks, Stevo!" Sora said, taking the brownie and chomping it back.
Steven sighed. He was tired, so he laid down on the bed.
"You tired, Steven? I see!" Sora patted his shoulder as he got up.
Steven yawned. He needed sleep, so he closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
He had a dream. It was about how worried the Crystal Gems are, and how worried Connie and his dad were. I'm okay, guys... Steven wanted to tell them, but they probably couldn't hear him, since he was in another world. He then woke up, with the sunlight filtering through the curtains. It's morning already..? Steven thought. He sighed. Maybe I should try to find a way out. he thought, getting out of bed. He realized that he slept in his clothes and sighed. And I bought new pajamas too. Steven thought. He looked and saw Sora and Shiro sleeping still. He just headed outside to get some fresh air.
Once outside, he stretched. This will be a good day! Steven thought. He let the sun soak in on his skin, feeling that vitamin D intake. He smiled. He actually liked it here. No one to fight, nothing to fear! He just held out his arms, and smiled, accidentally smacking someone's plate.
"Hey!" she said.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Steven looked at the girl.
It was the same girl from last night. She had a plate of pancakes, and now they were on the ground. Steven looked at the girl, who seemed angry.
"I am sorry!" Steven said, frowning.
"You made me lose my pancakes! Now what will I eat?!" the girl asked.
"I-I don't know!" Steven panicked.
The girl groaned. "You're a terrible person!"
"It's not my fault that I didn't see you!" Steven said.
"Well, be more aware!" the girl said.
"B-be more aware..." Steven thought about it.
If he was more aware of his opponent, like Sora, then he maybe able to win! He smiled.
"Thank you for the advice!" Steven ran back into the inn, not listening to the girl.
He headed upstairs, and back into the inn room. He had a plan on how to beat someone at chess! But Sora wasn't his option...
"Shiro! I need to play a game of chess with you!" Steven said excitedly.
Shiro was under the covers, and she lifted her head up, rubbing her eyes. "Why?"
"I need to test something!" Steven said.
"Dude! Quit shouting!" Sora said, sounding half asleep.
"Sorry!" Steven said quietly.
~a~
Steven and Shiro were sitting at a table, Sora was still in bed, and Steven was looking at Shiro with a look. Gotta have a poker face... Steven said.
"Okay, if I win, then I get to have your shirt." Shiro said.
Steven didn't feel comfortable with Shiro.
"O-okay, and if I win, then I get your crown!" Steven said.
"Sure. Let us play." Shiro said.
"Alright!"
"I swear by the pledges!"
Steven started setting up the chess board, and looked at Shiro, indicating for her to make a move. Shiro did so, and moved her knight...
One game later...
Steven had lost, and he didn't know why. Shiro was predicting his every move! He sighed. He then nodded.
"I have to get another shirt first, is that alright?" Steven asked.
"No. Shirt me, now." Shiro said.
Steven gulped. "I-in front of public?!"
"Yes."
~a~
Steven was wearing his jacket only, zipped up, and had to take his shirt off in front of Shiro and everyone else. He felt so embarrassed! He handed the shirt to Shiro, and she smiled.
"Pleasure to play with you, Steven." Shiro smiled, putting on the shirt.
"S-SERIOUSLY?!" Steven was confused as to why Shiro wanted his shirt.
"It seems nice..." Shiro said.
"Oh boy..." Steven sighed.
Steven was also confused, as because he still had his gem when he took off his shirt. Shiro didn't question it, thankfully, but others were able to see it. They'll think I'm a weirdo! Steven thought. He just sighed.
"Are you okay?" Shiro asked.
"Yea. I'm just a little confused is all." Steven said, smiling.
"Okay." Shiro headed to the stairs.
Steven followed, and sighed. Maybe things will get better. he thought.
