Series: Steven Universe

Greg and Steven looked at the large blue figure on their knees with the same colored Pearl beside them.
"Steven, who is she?" Greg whispered to his son.
"I...I think that might be Blue Diamond." Steven whispered back while tears kept coming out from his eyes.
"So she's been making you cry?"
"I think so. I think she's sad about something, and somehow I've been getting her tears." he replied while trying to wipe them away.
"But what's making her so sad?" He asked curiously before seeing the other gem next to Blue Diamond getting up. He and Steven ducked down when he saw the gem walk over near the bush they were behind.
"Pearl, what are you doing?"
"My Diamond, I thought I heard something over here."
Greg quickly pushed Steven and himself down as the Pearl got closer. 'Oh no, she'll see us!'
"I don't think we are alone my diamond."
Greg took a risk and stood up, making the Pearl jump back. "Hi there. Um, nice to meet you around here. I didn't expect to see any other tourists around this neck of the woods."
"Pearl, what is it?" Blue Diamond asked, not bothering to turn around.
"My Diamond, I believe it's one of the native inhabitants." she turned to her leader while making a symbol with her hands.
"Yeah, I'm from around here..." he said nervously.
"Bring it over here."
"Dad..." Steven tried to say quietly.
"Trust me on this Steven." Greg whispered back to him as he walked towards Blue Diamond. "So...I take it you're new around?"
"Somewhat." She said as she stared at the ancient palanquin before saying. "Do you know what happened here?"
"No, what?"
"This is where they shattered her, Pink Diamond."
Greg tried remaining calm as he asked. "Was she a friend?"
"Yes, we were very close, she was my closest friend, and now she's gone." she spoke with tears dripping down her cheeks which transferred to Steven too.
"I'm sorry, I know how you feel." Greg said as he thought of Rose.
"You do?" She asked as she turned to him.
"Yeah. I lost someone I really cared about. And to be honest, it hurts, it really does thinking back on it. But that's gonna happen, and sometimes we feel lost and don't know what to do."
"Amazing, I never expected a human could understand my pain." she turned to Greg with a smile. "I never even knew it was possible."
"Yeah, it's hard to deal with, but you can't dwell on the past, you have to move forward, but you'll always remember them."
"Truly, even a fragile human like yourself, born in a world like this which will be destroyed soon, shouldn't have to suffer like the rest of your race." She said before getting close and saying. "I will save one last piece of her legacy."
"Really? Like what?" He asked before her hand Suddenly shot out and grabbed him. "Oof!" He said as Steven widened his eyes before standing up.
"Dad!" he cried out which got Blue Diamond and her Pearl's attention.
"What's this, another human?"
"Steven run!" cried Greg.
"Pearl, grab him."
"Yes my diamond." the blue Pearl turned to Steven and grabbed him by his arms and pulled him up with surprising strength and walked over to Blue Diamond.
"What is your connection to this younger human?" Blue Diamond asked Greg curiously.
"He's my son. Please don't hurt him." he pleaded with her.
"What is a...son?" She asked in confusion.
"He's...well my kid. Please, he's done nothing wrong. If you gotta do something do it to me, but let him go."
"If he is important to you, then we will take both of you with us then."
"What!?" they both cried out.
"I will keep her legacy alive." she said as she raised her arm.
A ship in the shape of a giant blue arm rose up through the clouds, stunning the two males.
"That's a big ship..." Greg said before Blue Diamond and Pearl began to move towards the large blue palanquin.
It moved over closer with the gems climbing in without letting go of the humans.
'Oh god, is this why Garnet said not to come?' Steven thought nervously as the palanquin began to rise into the air. He tried not to look down as it entered the ship.
"Pearl, take the smaller human somewhere, I wish to speak to this human alone."
"Yes my diamond." she nodded and climbed off the palanquin without letting go of the hybrid.
Greg watched Pearl take Steven away before turning back to Blue Diamond. "Why did you wanna talk to me? And where's she taking Steven?"
"Calm down human, your son is in safe hands with my Pearl, and I want to talk to someone who knows my pain." she replied while relaxing in her seat and resting Greg on her lap.
"Ok, well...what would you like to start with?"
"How do you deal with it? Ever since I saw her shatter, I've never been able to go one day without feeling sad."
"Honestly, it's been my son, Steven. He reminds me so much of his mother, caring for him, it helps." he admitted rubbing his head. "He was born and Rose...she didn't make it afterwards."
"Rose..." Blue Diamond said, remembering the one who shattered Pink Diamond. Her eyes widened while scowling. "Rose Quartz?"
"Um...yes, Rose, why?" He asked nervously.
She gritted her teeth and stared shaking. "You...you knew the one who shattered Pink Diamond!
He gulped seeing her expression changed while she grabbed him and held him up to her face. "Y-yes, I knew her, but she's gone now!" He wheezed as her grip tightened.
"She shattered my friend! She lead a rebellion on my planet!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry you lost your friend, I'm sorry that you lost your planet, but there's nothing I could have done to change that, I'm barely forty years old!" He cried out in panic.
"But you knew her! You fraternized with her, are you her spy? Is that smaller human part of this?!"
"No! I swear I didn't know what happened! Me and my son were just on a trip to try and something he saw in his dreams!"
"His dreams? How can I trust here, what if you were here to shatter me?"
"I swear I'd never do that. I'm not someone who likes fighting."
"Then prove it, tell me everything!"
"Like what?"
"Your time on earth, your time with Rose and how you dealt with her loss, that way I can determine if you are trustworthy."
"Well, ok, if you say so."
As he began to tell Blue Diamond of his time on earth we go to Steven and blue Pearl.
"Let me go!" Steven shouted as he struggled to get out of blue Pearl's grasp.
"I can't, my diamond has ordered us to leave her alone."
"So why aren't you letting me go? What does she want with my dad?!"
"I do not know, but I will not pry into what the reason as is because she is my Diamond and has her reasons." She said as she tightened her grip on Steven. "And I am keeping my grip on you to make sure you don't escape my sights."
"Ugh, come on, can't you just ignore this one order?" he asked while trying to get her to let go.
"I cannot, orders are absolute and if I could I still wouldn't." she replied turning down a hall where two tall Amethyst guards stood near a door.
"Hey Pearl, what's with the shrimp?" One of them asked as she pointed to Steven.
"Blue Diamond has requested I watch him." She said as the doors began to open. She walked through as they shut immediately behind her.
"Where are we?" Steven asked in confusion as he looked around the room.
"My room, my Diamond gave it to me when she wishes to be alone." She said as Steven looked around, the room was relatively small with a single closet and a small bed .
"Nice room." He said as she sat down on the bed with him.
"My diamond is kind enough and merciful to let me have my own quarters."
"That's really nice of her." smiled Steven. 'From what I heard I thought she was gonna treat her Pearl, er, Blue Pearl like a thing.'
"Now, we shall wait here until my diamond calls for my services."
"Um, can you let me go? I promise I won't run away."
"No, I was not told to let go of you by my diamond and even if I could, I'd rather not." she shook her head.
"What? Why? And what do you mean even if you could you wouldn't?"
"If you ran loose or got away, my diamond would be angry and most likely wouldn't hesitate to shatter me. As is her right."
"What? No, that's not right, why would you be shattered if I ran? Plus the doors locked, how would I escape?" he pointed out while cringing at the shatter part.
"Regardless, I can't let you go, also, you're very comfortable to hold." she admitted while laying back on the bed.
"Wait, what?" He said with a small blush.
"Your body heat is soothing and it's something I've never felt before." She said as she held him tighter. "Are all you humans this soft and squishy?"
"N-not all of us." he blushed. "I mean, I once read online how some people's bodies can be as tough as rock from a lot of exercising."
"Then don't exercise, I like you like this."
Hearing that made him blush brighter. "S-so how long until Blue Diamond calls for us?"
"Not sure. How long can you humans live for?"
"Um...about 100 years."
"I'm not sure why she wishes to speak with your...dad is it?"
"Yeah, I don't know either, I hope he's ok though."
"Tell me, what exactly is a 'dad'?"
"Well, a dad is a person who loves you and helped make you, I think? He and my mom loved each other and together they made me." he tried explaining as best as he could.
"Ok, and who was your mother?" She asked curiously.
"Rose." He said, not thinking as Pearl's eyes widened under her hair.
"Rose...Quartz?"
'"Yeah, she's my mom, she gave up her form to make me, so I never met her." he kept going while Pearl gulped.
"S-so you're not human, you're a gem?" She said nervously as she tried to stay calm.
"Well, more of a half and half."
"Half and half?"
"Half gem and half human."
"How does that work? Do you have a gem?"
"Yeah, right in my belly button." He said as he reached down and pulled up his shirt a bit.
She looked down and went wide eyed behind her hair seeing the gem. "T-that's Rose Quartz' gem!"
"Yeah, my mom gave up her form to have me."
"Amazing, you're a gem but also human and squishy." she spoke in awe.
"Y-yeah, I'm human." he said as she lightly rubbed her head on his. "Um, what are you doing?"
"Getting comfortable while holding you."
'Oh man, at this rate dad might be getting tortured, or worse!' He thought as we cut back to Greg and Blue Diamond.
"And that's how I stuck around in Beach City." He said as he sat on her lap as she listened.
"Your life sounds so mundane, but at the same time interesting."
"Thanks...I think?"
'I wonder if Rose stayed with him to try and live a life beyond the war.' She thought as she frowned at the thought of Rose. 'He may not have a part in her fighting, but that doesn't mean I'll forgive her. But how do I make her pay? According to Greg, she no longer has physical form.'
That's when a sudden idea hit her.
'She took someone precious from me, so I'll do the same to her!' she thought with a smile.
"Um, Blue Diamond? You ok?" he asked seeing her loosen her hold on him and started smiling for some reason.
"Oh, I'm fine Greg, I really am." she nodded. "Greg, how do humans show love and affection on earth?"
"Huh? Well, they tend to hug, hold hands, and if they're really close, they kiss."
'Hmmm, this might be difficult because of height, but I can make this work.' she thought before holding him up and started rubbing her cheek against him.
'What is she doing?!' he thought with wide eyes and was blown away.
'I think he likes it.' she thought with a grin before holding him up and moved her lips closer before kissing the side of him.
'What is going on?!' He thought as her giant lips engulfed him. 'Why is she kissing me?!' He thought as she lightly turned him with her hand so she was kissing his front. He blushed while stuck and couldn't move away.
'I think it's working, but how do I know for sure?' She thought as she continued to kiss him.
'Oh god! How long is she gonna kiss me?' He thought as he began to turn blue from lack of oxygen.
She pulled back while Greg in took fresh air. "So, how was it Greg?" She asked him as he took deep breaths.
"Why...did you do that?" He asked with a big blush as he looked up at her.
"Consider it my thanks for understanding me."
"Um, ok, then thank you for that."
"And there will be more in the future." She said as he gulped before the door opened. "Who is it?"
"It's Amethyst, we are approaching the station my diamond, also it appears Yellow Diamond is already there."
Her eyes widened before clearing her throat. "Alright, let Pearl know too."
"Yes my diamond." the Amethyst said as she walked away towards Pearl's room.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to a space station that used to belong to Pink Diamond that houses the zoo."
"The zoo? You mean for animals?"
"No, for humans." she said as she looked at him.
"Humans?!"
"Yes, when gems colonize a planet most organic life dies out so Pink Diamond decided to preserve the human species in a zoo."
"Isn't that a little cruel?"
"No, they are kept care of and live happy lives in safety, but you are not going there."
"Then, where?"
"You will be staying with me of course."
"But what about Steven?"
"Well,he can stay near you if you want, but we will have to hide you."
"How come?"
"Because Yellow Diamond is on the station and she would either kill you or send you to the zoo."
Greg paled hearing that. "W-what? Why would she kill me? And where do I hide?!"
"My room, and she'd kill you because she detests earth and knows it's only a matter of time before the Cluster awakens and destroys it all."
"The cluster? The thing in the center of the earth?"
"Yes."
"Well, it's kinda taken care of, Steven bubbled it."
"He what?" She shouted in surprise before there was a knocking on the door. "Who is it?"
"It is your Pearl and Steven my diamond."
"You may enter." She said as the doors opened and Pearl walked in as she held Steven. "I assume everything went alright?"
"Yes, I kept hold of him, not letting him escape my diamond."
"Steven, you alright?" asked Greg from his spot.
"Yeah I'm fine, Pearl just really likes to hug." he admitted with said gem still holding him.
"Well, it could be worse bud."
"Like what?"
"Well, she could have kissed you." he chuckled while Steven blushed at the teasing.
"Kissing?" Pearl asked curiously. "What is that?"
"It is how humans show affection to each other on earth, I shall demonstrate." Blue Diamond said as she stared st Greg.
'Oh no, not again.' He thought as she began raise him towards her face.
Steven and Pearl watched as Blue Diamond kissed Greg, shocking Steven and making the gem go wide eyed.
Soon Blue Diamond pulled Greg away with a grin on her face. "That's kissing Pearl."
"And humans do this to show affection and love?"
"Yes."
"Hmmm." she said as she looked at Steven before turning him in her arms so he was facing her. "I would like to experience this."
"Wait, wha-?" he spoke before Pearl pressed her lips against his. Unlike Greg's kiss with Blue Diamond, Pearl's lips actually met Stevens and didn't cover most of his body.
Steven's eyes widened in shock and went utterly still.
'No wonder humans enjoy this, it is really...nice.' Pearl thought before pulling away. "It felt nice.' She said as she held him close.
"Um...huh..." Steven stuttered with a big blush on his face.
'Well I did warn him.' Greg thought with a small grin when suddenly the entire ship shook. "What's going on?"
"We're docking, meaning I have to hide you."
"Hide me? Where?" He asked in confusion.
"My robe will do." She said as his eyes widened.
"Say wh-" He started to say when she began to quickly lift him up
"Try not to move much." she said before pushing him into the sleeve of her left arm.
"My Diamond, what do I do with Steven?"
"Hmmmm, tell anyone who asks that you're taking him to the zoo, but take him to either mine or your personal chambers until further notice."
"Yes my Diamond." She said as she held onto him with a smile.
'Oh man, I hope the others are on their way.' Steven thought as Blue Diamond got up and began to walk towards the door.
"Come Pearl."
"Yes my diamond." she said as she followed her.
'This is gonna be tough.' thought Greg while holding onto Blue Diamond's arm in the sleeve.
'I hope this goes well.' she thought as she neared the ship's door that connect to the space station.
