It had been two days since Peridot retreated into her gem.
Lapis sat on the couch holding Peridots gem in her hand sometimes running her hand over the smooth surface. Steven walked into the room and went into the kitchen to make a sandwich. After a few minutes off awkward silence steven sat down on the couch next to the blue girl. Her eyes were fixed on the lime green gem in her hand, her face expressionless and hair unstyled and hanging in her face.
"Hey lapis, you okay?" he asked with a hint of concern in his voice.
Lapis's dark blue eyes moved their gaze to him but she kept her face low. "Yeah." she lied.
"Please please don't lie to me."
"I just... I miss her..." she gripped the fabric on the couch, holding back a tear.
"oh." Steven had enough sense to understand what she meant. "I'll just... go." He said awkwardly and left to go outside.
She's not coming back.
A voice said in the back of her head. Lapis put one hand on her face. "No, no she has to come back..." Small tears fell down her light blue face and fell onto the light green gem, making the surface reflect lapis's face. She looked into the reflection. "Peridot please, I need you..." She hugged the gem, more small tears falling down onto the surface of the couch.
She stopped her sobbing when she saw a small light. the light grew into a bright flare. Lapis's mouth gaped and then turned into a huge smile. A shape of a person took form and soon shaped into a small peridot. Lapis's face twisted into confusion. uh... wut? she said to herself when peridot took full form. She chuckled lightly at the sight. Peridot blushed dark green a little (pun :3) "uh, hi lap-" she was cut of when lapis picked her up and hugged her. "Im glad your safe." she said. "AHHH PUT ME DOWN I HATE HEIGHTS!" lapis giggled and put peridot down on the couch. "Aww Peri your so small." she laughed lightly. Peridot rolled her eyes, annoyed at the remark. She had been mocked for her height before, but coming from lapis? She just could be mad at her, could she? Love is crazy. She thought to herself. "It's cute." That word? really? "S-shut up." Peridot blushed dark, lapis smiled.
"Oh, your arm things are over there Peri!" she informed the smaller girl.
"Limb enhancers, and its peridot, not peri, Lazuli."
"I would call you peridot, it I could find the rest of you." Lapis remarked childishly. "and where did lazuli come from? Last time I checked it was lapis." Lapis stuck her tongue out sarcastically.
"..." peridot couldn't think of a remark for that. "Mind turning around for a sec?" she asked.
"err, uh sure peri." lapis blushed and turned around.
Peridot changed into her normal outfit and put on her limb enhancers.
"You can turn back around now."
Lapis wiped the blush off her face and turned around.
She smiled at the normal tall peridot the stood in front of her.
"But I must say..."
She pulled peridot closer.
"I like peri-dot better."
She smiled and pressed her lips to the green gems. Peridot was shocked at first, but then returned the action.
"I love you."
The rest of the night was a blur...
