Authors Note: Okay so I've actually had two chapters done and posted on AO3 for a while now. I just kind of forgot to update on this site. So for those of you who don't read it on AO3 then well, now you get to read the new chapters.

I'll post the next chapter tomorrow.

Marigold had allowed it. Begrudgingly of course. But she let it happen with the promise that Peridot be back before five that afternoon. That gave the girl two hours max before she had to be back home or else, well, she didn't know what Marigold would do, and she didn't have any intention on finding out what she would do either.

She had to turn down Pearl and Amethyst's invite to hang out, too. She wasn't even sure how to explain to them what was going on. While she didn't think Amethyst would be too upset about it if she told her what was going on (the girl would probably hoot and holler and congratulate Peridot on 'bagging a hottie'), Pearl would be up in arms about getting the school board on Lapis for this, because of the, well, irregularity of their relationship.

Irregularity was what Peridot could only think to describe it. After all it wasn't exactly normal. But did normalcy really matter in the end? Who cared if it was normal if Peridot was happy with it, happy with Lapis?

Well, she just had to be careful not to let the wrong people know. Which just meant not let anyone know at all at the moment. Once she graduated then there wouldn't be any worries, and it was her senior year after all.

Still, she had to be careful, her and Lapis both. There were… a lot of risks to what they were doing. Peridot had to be realistic about that.

But the risks didn't stop her excitement to meet up with Lapis when school ended, to be able to just talk and be with her without prying eyes. She was eager to be with Lapis and God dammit she was kind of in to deep, wasn't she? Still, when class ended she hoisted her bag over her shoulder and made her way to the art room. She couldn't help but smile a little whenever she approached the familiar door.

There was a bit of a skip in her step as she hurried, ducking past students eager to leave for home as she was eager to stay in school. Funny, wasn't it? What kind of student was actually happy about spending more time then needed inside of the school building? Well, she couldn't say that most of those students had ever had someone like Lapis to make her want to stay longer in school.

She slowed to a stop and slowly pushed the door open, sliding into the classroom quietly.

Lapis was at her paint stained desk, looking over papers, her blue eyes narrowed intently and she read through the messy handwritings and papers over different art theories and artists. She hadn't seemed to notice Peridot had entered, completely focused on her work and being, well, a teacher. It was kind of interesting seeing her look like a teacher.

As quietly as she could, Peridot closed the door behind her and put her bag down at a table and slowly approached her.

It wasn't until Peridot was right in front of her that Lapis looked up. Seeing who it was, a wide smile covered her face, amazingly bright and sending Peridot's heart to do little pitter-patters.

"Hey, babe," Lapis greeted as she put down her pen, her voice playful and light, "I see you got permission to hang out with me. Was worried you might leave me all to my lonesome."

Peridot gave a light shrug, "Well, I mean, not like I had anything better to do, you know?" she replied before giving a crooked grin, "but if you want, I can just go home."

"Nooo!" Lapis reached out to grasp onto her sleeve as though that would keep her from leaving, not that Peridot had any intention on leaving. "Come on, I barely got to see you all day, not fair to ditch me already," she had a cute pout on her lips as she said that.

There was no way that Peridot could genuinely up and leave her, not when she had such a cute expression on her face. Seriously, it should be illegal for Lapis to be both unbelievable hot and insanely cute at the same time. There was no way that Peridot could ever say no to her at this rate. Still, she had some pride and something of an appearance to keep up, even if it mattered little when Lapis was around.

"Well, I'd be willing to stay with you if you had something that'd make it worth it," Peridot said offhandedly.

As soon as the words left her mouth, a dark and mischievous light filled those blue eyes. "Oh, really?" Lapis asked, her tone almost sultry as she stood from her seat and tugged Peridot a little closer, "I can make that happen."

She leaned forward and captured Peridot's lips with her own. It was a slow kiss, a little awkward with the desk between them, but still full of emotion. Lapis brought her hands to cup Peridot's face with one, and rest on her back with the other.

They broke apart only when oxygen became a problem, both panting and a little pink in the cheeks. Lapis let go of Peridot, but only briefly as she came out from behind her desk to stand before the short blonde once more, her hands on her body in a matter of seconds, drawing her face in close to Peridot's own and planting a feather soft kiss on her ear. "I can make it even more worth it if you want," she added.

Was she suggesting what Peridot thought she was? From the way she held her and the way she said it, Peridot had to assume that, yes, Lapis was insinuating exactly what she thought. It was probably a bit too early, like really early, they hadn't even been together for that long kind of early. But Peridot would be lying if she said she didn't have a thirst, and raging hormones too, but mostly a thirst. So she moved to give Lapis a bruising kiss, her hands clinging to the teachers clothing.

As though that was all that was needed and a switch of sorts had been pressed, things quickly grew hot in the room. Lapis moved the two until Peridot found herself pressed against one of the table, Lapis broke from the kiss to start assaulting her neck with her lips and teeth Her fingers dug into Lapis' shoulder as she closed her eyes, letting out a soft mewl as Lapis began nipping and sucking at a particularly sweet spot. "Lapis," she breathed out softly, feeling fingers dancing along her sides.

"Lapis…" she whimpered as Lapis tugged at the collar of her shirt and began sucking her clavicle.

She let out a small squeak as Lapis wrapped her strong arms around her and hoisted her up, setting her to sit on the classroom desk. Once she was seated, Lapis latched onto her, kissing her hard. It was passionate and hot as she brought her hands up to run her fingers through blonde locks.

Her tongue pressed against Peridot's lips, forcing their way through and into the warm, wet cavern of her mouth. Their tongues began to wrestle for dominance as she pressed her weight against the smaller girl, their bodies flush against one another. There was too much clothes between them and Lapis was ready to fix that.

The artist drew her hands under Peridot's shirt, pushing it up and only pulling back from the kiss so that she could pull it off, leaving her in her pants and bra. With all the new skin bare and open for love, Lapis began trailing kisses down her body. Leaving a line of bites, the occasional suck too on tender skin.

"Mine," Lapis whispered as she bit hard into a patch of skin right above the start of Peridots bra. It was so sharp of a bite that Peridot let out a sharp cry, something of pleasure and pain mixed in. Lapis gave it an apologetic kiss on the forming bruise. It was her way of claiming Peridot in a way.

Peridot closed her eyes tightly, a quiet, muffled moan escaping her as she felt Lapis's hands tracing her body. Her body felt so hot and unbearable, she wanted her touch so badly.

The blue haired woman had begun to kiss lower, "Mine," she whispered again, and again, and again. She drew lower and lower until she reached the hem of Peridot's pants. Looking up at Peridot in the eyes, she waited with a silent question until the blonde gave a quiet nod.

Standing back up, Lapis pressed her lips against Peridots. It was breathtaking and Peridot wasted no time tangling her fingers in those blue strands as Lapis slid her thumbs under her jeans and began to slowly slide them down.

"Lapis, are you in there?"

A knock on the door broke the kiss and broke their attention from each other to the warm, sweet voice that echoed on the other side.

They looked at each other, eyes wide before pulling apart in a mass panic, Lapis practically throwing herself off of Peridots smaller form and scrambling to find her shirt off the floor. "Shit!" Lapis hissed as she threw Peridot's shirt at her, watching as the girl struggled to yank up her pants, both their faces bright red.

"Lapis?"

"One moment," Lapis called back, trying to sound as casual as she could be and not sound like she was about to do something very indecent with her own student. Mentally she berated herself. How stupid could she have been to forget something as simple as locking the goddamn door?!

She hastily helped Peridot for a moment to get her shirt on, concealing the few hickies Lapis had left over her skin before tugging her off the table. As an extra thought, she threw some random papers from her desk onto the table between them to make themselves look like they were talking about something class related.

Lapis quickly dove in for one last kiss, brief as it may have been, and just as quickly she pulled away. In good timing too as not a moment later the door was being pushed open.

"Sorry to intrude," Rose apologized as she stepped into the art room, a pile of papers under her arm. "There were some papers in the lounge for you, and I thought that I would drop them off to your room since this was on my way," she flashed the two a pleasant smile.

Peridot refused to look at either, not wanting to risk either seeing her blushing face, or to make it even worse. So instead she focused on pretending to read the papers before her, while in fact she wasn't even registering the words, just glaring intently at the desk itself as though it might swallow her up and take her away from here.

"It's no problem," Lapis gave a small smile, playing it cool like she was some sort of pro. Peridot kind of envied her for that. She held out her hands to take the papers from Rose, "Thanks for dropping them off, Rose."

The plump woman gave a small hum and then turned to Peridot, "I'm surprised to see you still here, shouldn't you have gone home? I can't imagine you got detention and are serving it out here with Ms. Lazuli."

At being spoken too, Peridot gave a small jump and glanced at Rose Quartz briefly, "I, well, um," her mind was coming to a blank on what to say. She couldn't very well tell the nurse that she was here because she was having an intense make out session with the art teacher, after all.

But Lapis was there to save her hind, "Well, Peridot wanted to go over some papers with me, so I'm just sticking around to help her out. Can't just abandon any future aspiring artists, you know?" she was so casual as she spoke, like what just happened had never happened.

"Oh?" Rose said and peered at the papers on the table. Soon enough a wide smile broke across her face, "Oh, that's wonderful, Peridot. I didn't know you were into competitions."

"What?" Peridot said quickly but it was drowned out by the nurse who continued to talk.

"I remember the entries from last year, I took Steven with me. They were just wonderfully done, they all should have won in my opinion," Rose spoke like it was such a fond memory, and knowing her, it probably was one, "oh but I'm sure the piece you'll submit will be just as amazing, if not even more!" the pink haired woman said with a smile that could light up an entire city and make Peridot want to wear several sunglasses at once.

Instead, she just cast Lapis a desperate look.

"Yeah, well, Peridot had been rather interested in entering this year. So I was going over the regulations and how it works, as well as bouncing some project ideas with her," Lapis spoke and at that moment Peridot kind of wanted to strangle her, "I mean, she's one of my best students, a rising artist I like to think. So I'm more than happy to help her out, you know?"

As they spoke, Peridot dared to look at the papers Lapis had thoughtlessly given her when Rose came. Lo and behold, they were flyers to a local art contest. Lapis must have been meaning to hand them out to class tomorrow. Well, fuck.

Rose tilted her head as she watched the two, "I've actually volunteered to help the contest out this year. The sign up sheet hasn't been brought to the school yet, but I'd be more than happy to sign Peridot up myself when I head home, that way she doesn't need to wait."

"Really? That'd be great," Peridot said, trying to sound pleasant, though it came through clenched teeth.

Lapis threw her an apologetic look and Rose didn't seem to notice her not to thrilled tone about it all.

"Well, I really ought to get going now," Rose said then, "Greg is working late so I need to pick Steven up from school. But I'll make sure to sign you up, Peridot. Good luck!"

"Thanks, Mrs. Quartz," Peridot said with a fake smile as the large woman made her exit. Once the door was closed, she whirled on Lapis with her eyes blazing, "What the hell, Lapis?" she hissed.

The blue haired woman gave a sheepish laugh and ran a hand through her hair, "Yeah, sorry about that, Peri," she apologized, her expression the kind where you realized you kind of fucked up a bit, "I kind of panicked and just agreed with it. So, I guess, good luck with the contest. Or, well, getting out of the contest."

Peridot buried her face in her hands and let out a low, muffled scream.
