Charoite's hands looked like some skin was etched off and under the skin was some sort of metallic material; some electric sparks shooting out, causing Tourmaline and Onyx to back away. "Ch-Charoite…are you cybernetic..?" Onyx questioned nervously.

The purple gem lowered her hands as she looked down. "Yes…I'm the first cybernetic being on Homeworld capable of generating real feelings real gems simulate. I was at the Blue Diamond court because I noticed I was glitching but…" She couldn't finish.

"But what?" Tourmaline asked. "Th-They wouldn't help me even though they're my only hope of staying alive…I'm known as a traitor to the Blue Court so I really should have expected them to deny my request." Charoite answered. The mint green and sleek black gem both looked at each other in confusion. "Wait, why are you considered as a traitor to Blue Diamond's court? What did you do?" Tourmaline asked.

"…Well for one, I was never simply just transferred. I was kicked out." Charoite sighed. I was made to fight off any threat to Homeworld but…I'd never do my job back in Blue Diamond's court…I'd always be procrastinating and doing my own thing…" She started. "I'd always be complaining that I just wanted to be real. I had the nerve to be ungrateful to the one gem who built me. But, probably the worst thing I did was steal some info from Yellow Diamond's log. I-I should've been broken by Blue Diamond, The other members in the court agreed to it too but I guess she reconsidered, maybe because I was made by her and that I could still be of use."

"She simply told me to never show up in her court again, and having nowhere else to go…I went to White Diamond to be a part of her court. And at that time, I realized…me getting accepted into a new court when I should've been killed was a wakeup call for me, That I need to start thinking about the consequences of my poor actions for once. So once I was accepted into White Diamond's court, I was given a new role since White Diamond was unfamiliar with me." The purple cybernetic gem looked down at her metallic hands. "I'm not real…"

The two gems across from her each took one hand. "So what if you're a robot? I don't understand how that makes you any less real than us." Tourmaline remarked. "You're real to us…You have feelings like we do." Onyx added.

"R-Really…?" "What do ya mean 'Really?!' Of course you are!" The gem in twintails eccentrically said. Charoite started to tear up again. "THANK YOU!" She yelled as she squeezed both of them. They both were unfazed by it since they don't need air that much.

"You can let go of us now…" Tourmaline said, hugging back. "Oh! Right! Sorry…heheh..." Charoite nervously chuckled as she let the two go. "So what now..?" Onyx asked. "What do you think you dummy? Did you even hear what Charoite said? We're obviously not gonna tell ANYONE here about Charoite!" The mint green gem responded coldly.

"Yes I know that but what about her voice…?" "Oh! Uhh actually I can actually try to hide it as best I can, I can just try to not to yell or be in any shape of distress." Charoite immediately answered back. "Are you sure that's really safe?" Tourmaline asked. "Sure! I can handle it! And uhhm…don't worry about me I'll be fine!" Charoite reassured. Onyx sighed. "All right then…let us know if you need anymore help." Tourmaline said.

The purple gem nodded as the two left. Tourmaline and Onyx went back to their room. The mint green gem slumped onto her couch as her guard just quietly sat on her chair. Onyx had forgotten that they are now sharing a room; probably because this room was bigger than anything. "Ughhhh I'm so booorrred!" Tourmaline wailed. The sleek black gem just rested her hand on her cheek as she looked around. Tourmaline looked at Onyx. "Hey Onyx, you wanna kiss?"

'She legit asked that…Does she even know what she's saying?!' Onyx thought. (totally not basing this scene off of that one part in Neon Genesis Evangelion hahahahah)

"Uhh wh-what…?" Onyx nervously asked even though she knew well what she said. "Let's kiss." She simply answered. 'Why is she even suggesting doing this?!' Onyx face grew a darker shade of black. "A-And why…?" She asked. "Cos I'm bored." Tourmaline simply answered again. 'Why is she so chill about this?! Why would she even do this?! How can she do this out of boredom?!'

"Uhm…" "What? Are you scared?" The gem with twintails mockingly asked. "No..!" "Then get over here!" Onyx didn't think she could feel any shyer than before. Her face grew even darker. "So you are scared?" "No! I am not!" "What is it then? Have you ever kissed anyone before?" She asked. 'Why is she doing this…?!'

"N-No but- "So that's why you're scared!" "I told you I am not!" Onyx remarked. At this point, they were just standing a few feet apart from each other. This made Onyx all the more shy and flustered. "Ugh okay f-fine…!" She said, "Ha! You should be thankful your first kiss is from a high aristocrat like me!" 'Must she always be this full of herself…?' But deep down, That's what Onyx had really liked about Tourmaline. She envied how much confidence she had in herself.

Onyx slowly and slightly hesitantly walked over to Tourmaline, now just inches across from her face. They were the same height so this would make it all the more awkward and unbearable. The mint green gem rested her hands on Onyx's shoulders as she leaned her face in closer. Onyx slowly and carefully leaned her face in as well. A part of her wanted to get this over with already while the other half of her actually kind of wanted this.

Tourmaline pulled back. "Ugh why are you even breathing?! You don't need air and you're tickling my nose!" She said. Immediately after that, she held Onyx's nose so she could stop it with the uneeded breathing and smashed her lips against her guards'. The shadowy gem's eyes widened in shock. Tourmaline had her eyes closed as if she was enjoying this but Onyx was just straight up surprised. Onyx shakily put her hands across Tourmaline's lower back. She was starting to enjoy this a lot more but was still slightly uncomfortable. Is it bad if a royal gem like Tourmaline kissed a lowly guard like Onyx? And they stayed like that for a while.

Onyx was starting to get SUPER uncomfortable like this. They had to have been like this for at least four minutes by now…

After another whole minute, Tourmaline finally pulled apart. Onyx just stood there in disbelief and shock. The room was silent until The mint green gem yelped. "EWEWEWEWEWE! I KISSEED MY GUARD!" She yelled. Tourmaline ran out the room with a huge blush around her face. Onyx still stood there in absolute disbelief. She placed her hand on her cheek and felt warmth.

'I think I really like her…'
