"I'm glad that Mrs. Quartz approved our request.." Lapis said to her friend as she set down her last box on Peridot's bed. She didn't have many things, just a few clothes and bathroom necessities. Peridot was the one with the game system and special desktop setup. She was such a nerd.
"Yeah.. me too." The blonde girl was hanging the clothes that Lapis had already unpacked. She had so many dresses. If Peridot didn't already hang up a blue tee shirt and a pair of black pants, she would have thought that a dress was all that her crush wore.
Peridot was actually happy that she would be rooming with Lapis, but she was terrified too. So many possible scenarios played through the blonde's mind where Lapis found her new scars. She couldn't let her know.. She's lucky that the rain from yesterday made the weather a bit more chilly. This gave Peridot an excuse to wear her hoodie, as well as hide her scars.
"Alrighty.." Lapis pulled out the contents from the last box. It was the lightest of her luggage, just consisting of a couple pairs of shoes. Sneakers and ballet shoes, the sneakers to obviously go with her casual wear, and the ballet shoes for.. well, for her dress. Of course, she preferred to go barefoot.
"It still amazes me that you aren't obsessive with your clothes. Most girls who are in the performance arts can't think of anything else but that and dancing."
"I'm not like most girls." Lapis replied, hands on her hips. Peridot couldn't help but smile.
"No you're not.. you're even worse."
The blue haired girl laughed and placed her shoes under the twin bed that was opposite from Peridot's. Each dorm had two beds, so there was no need to bring Lapis' bed from her room. It was odd, if you'd think about it. The girls each had a dorm to themselves, but what could possibly be the reason for them to have such luxury? Well, that reason remains to be seen.
Peridot sat on her bed, glad to be done with the unpacking. Even if it wasn't much, she absolutely hated physical labor.
"I'm glad that she also gave us a day off to get you moved in, but.. what about your school work?"
Lapis scoffed, sitting across from Peridot with an expression of false offense. "Peridot, please. Just because you're the smartest girl here doesn't mean you're the only smart girl in the school."
A small blush played across the blonde's face, a little ashamed of her words. Of course, she was worried about the other girl, but she didn't mean to come off as rude.
"I'm sorry.." She obviously didn't get the joke. Giggling, Lapis stood from her bed and sat beside her friend, lightly pushing her with her shoulder.
"Peri, you know I'm messing with you. But really, my grades are perfectly fine. It's pretty easy to just go with the flow of what I'm looking at on paper."
"Like water?" Peridot referenced, grinning. Lapis nodded.
"Yeah, like water.. And you're like a super-computer."
"Whatever.."
Just then, the door to Peridot's room is burst open, and a short, plump, and rather loud woman comes through the doorway with a few beer cans loaded in her arms.
"What up, bitches?!" Peridot lets out a groan of annoyance while Lapis smiles and greets the intruder.
"Hey Amethyst, what's up?"
"Isn't it obvious?" The rambunctious girl sits herself on Lapis' bed, laying down her beer cans. She grabs two and holds them out for Lapis and Peridot to take. "We're celebrating your new room arrangement!"
Peridot groaned again, not bothering to hide how annoyed she was. Amethyst was just far too loud for her liking.
"Thanks, but you know I don't drink.." Lapis politely declined the offer, but Amethyst would have nothing of it.
"Come on, it's a special occasion!" Amethyst grinned at Lapis before she continued. "Besides, I thought you'd be happy. You know, since you li-"
"Well, maybe one won't hurt!"
Lapis snatched the beer from Amethyst's hand, her blush light, but very prominent. Peridot was too busy tuning out Amethyst's voice to notice Lapis' embarrassment. What she did notice, though, was that her friend had cracked open the beer and began to drink its contents. Great, now Peridot was going to be teased by the normally loud Amethyst, and her soon to be drunk crush. She's almost glad that she turned to the razor again.. almost.
"C'mon, Peri." Amethyst insisted, holding the beer out for the blonde. After Lapis drank a few mouthfuls of her own drink, she sat back with a sigh, a goofy smile on her face. She was only a little tipsy.. but it still felt kinda good. Seeing her crush in such a state, Peridot sighed, taking the can from Amethyst.
"Only for today."
"Yeah, let's fuck shit up!"
Peridot popped the can open with a sigh. "I already regret this." Slowly, she brought the can to her lips, taking a sip of the bitter substance. In all honesty, it wasn't that bad, but she didn't want to give the satisfaction to shorter girl. She drank silently while Lapis and Amethyst engaged in conversation.
"I'm surprised you don't have a cold, Lazuli. Didn't you go out in the rain, yesterday?"
"That was you watching me?" Lapis asked. Peridot made a mental note to thank Amethyst later, without giving her the reason for such thanks, of course.
"I just saw you out the window at the party I was at last night. Man, you'd be surprised, but Pearl can drink!"
"No way!" Lapis laughed harder than she would have if she were sober. Still, she wasn't near wasted, not after a little more than half a can of beer.
"Yeah way! Crazy bitch nearly drank the whole keg we had! 'Course I had to get her drunk first to begin with." Amethyst remembered cheering on the taller girl. "I had to rub her back while she puked afterward, but damn, did she turn me on." Peridot nearly choked on her beer while Lapis just laughed.
"I forgot you guys were together. It's still kinda hard to believe."
"I know, right?" Amethyst was cracking open her second beer, barely phased from the alcohol. "I mean, I was the one to ask her out, but still. It was an emotional roller-coaster before I actually nutted up and told her. When she said she liked me too, you could imagine how surprised I was. Pearl and Amethyst, queens of ballet and garbage. No offense, girl."
Lapis didn't feel a bit of jealousy at Pearl's title. "It's fine. I dance for fun, not competition."
Peridot smiled for the first time since Amethyst let herself in. That's one of the reasons she loved Lapis. No matter the situation, she was always so laid back. She didn't let anything contain her, didn't let anything stop her from having fun. She was a free spirit.
"Beer's kicking in for you, huh?" Amethyst asked, and though Peridot was still annoyed with the rambunctious girl, she still kept her smile. Maybe the alcohol was getting to her..
"I guess so.." She said quietly, taking another sip of her drink. Lapis wrapped an arm around her friend, laughing.
"Yeah, Peri, live it up! It's not so bad to let loose once in a while, right?" Peridot's blush made the blue haired girl laugh even more. She really loved that she was finally roommates with her best friend.
Amethyst was finally starting to feel the effects of the drink herself. Emptying her second can in a final gulp, she cracked open a third, deciding to just sip on this one. She knew her limits. After two, she started feeling tipsy, five was where she started losing sense of right and wrong, and seven.. she couldn't remember what happened after that.
"You'll thank me later." Amethyst said with sincerity, earning a shy shrug from the nerdy girl. Maybe she would thank Amethyst. She was certainly feeling good so far.
"Anyway.." Amethyst continued her story on what happened at the party. "After Pearl practically puked her guts out, I carried her to bed. Shame she was out of her mind drunk. I would have loved to wreck her."
"Well I'm glad you didn't take advantage of her." Peridot engaged in the conversation for the first time. "Drunk doesn't mean "yes"." Amethyst felt a little shift in the atmosphere, so she tried to lighten the mood again.
"Yeah, I'm not that type of girl. Besides, pretty sure P would be worse in bed while hammered."
"Oh my god.." Lapis put her hand to her mouth, bouncing in her seat before she found her voice again. "You guys had sex before, didn't you?" Amethyst only smiled, shrugging.
"I don't fuck and tell."
"I believe you just did." Peridot leaned forward herself, actually interested in this topic. She always thought Pearl was too much of a prude to even think about that stuff.
"Yeah, guess I did." Amethyst chuckled, impressed with herself. She was always so good at manipulating a conversation to what she wanted to talk about.
"Well don't keep us waiting, tell us how it went." Lapis couldn't contain herself. She had finally finished her first beer, cracking open her second.
Amethyst got this sultry, distant look on her face as she remembered her first time with Pearl.
"It was great. Well, our first time was soft and gentle. We didn't wanna rush anything, you know?"
"We?" Peridot asked, catching on to the party girl's wording. Amethyst actually blushed, averting her eyes.
"Alright, it's over and done with now, so I might as well tell you.. we were both virgins."
"No way!" Lapis couldn't believe Amethyst's words, and Peridot just sat in a stunned silence. Amethyst stayed a virgin until college? That seemed impossible!
"I know, I know, shut the fuck up." Amethyst's false anger was all in good fun, and she was laughing herself. "Surprise, surprise, I was pure till a few months ago. If you're surprised, imagine how Pearl felt."
"Oh I bet." Peridot said, bringing herself from her shock.
"Anyway, like I said, the first time was slow. But around the third and fourth times, things started getting kinky." Amethyst paused to bask in Lapis and Peridot's surprised faces. It just kept getting better and better. "She loves being on top." The other girls' jaws practically hit the floor. Yep. Better and better.
"You mean Pearl is the dominant one?!" Lapis exclaimed. Amethyst laughed leaning back on the bed she sat on.
"I know, right?! It started when she spanked me while eating me out. Aw man, I couldn't tell you how wet I was."
"Not to be rude.." Peridot interrupted, setting her now empty beer can down on the floor. "..but I think the more 'detailed' actions in your sex life should stay between you and Pearl."
Amethyst smirked. "Thought you guys wanted to hear about it." '
Lapis smiled apologetically at Amethyst, but she had to agree with Peridot. "Well, we do, but.. I don't think Pearl would be very happy with you for telling us what you guys do together aside from the simple stuff."
Thinking about it for a moment, Amethyst couldn't help but feel like the other two girls were right. "Yeah, I get what ya mean.. So what about you two?" Amethyst gestured to Peridot and Lapis, the former girl opening her second beer. "You girls have any sex stories?"
"No." The blonde was the first to answer Amethyst's question, and she wasn't ashamed to admit it. "I've never had sex. I don't know if it's even for me, honestly. Hell, I've never even had a gi-.. girlfriend." Peridot was about to catch herself and hide her homosexuality, but why should she? She was in college, and even knew a couple of lesbians here. The closet wasn't gonna stay closed forever.
Amethyst wasn't surprised that the girl in green never had sex, but she was surprised that the nerd was queer, like herself. "You just came out.. right?" Peridot sighed, taking a sip of her beer before she answered.
"Let's not make a big deal about this, okay? I'm gay, you're gay, Pearl's gay. It's all established now." In her little 'coming out' speech, if one could even call it that, she had forgotten that her being a lesbian might have an impact on her roommate.. her presumed straight roommate.
Peridot turned to see Lapis staring at her with those deep ocean blue eyes of hers. The blonde had to swallow a lump in her throat.. she was suddenly terrified.
Amethyst let out a low whistle. "Welp, your first day as roomies might just be your last."
Peridot shot Amethyst an angry glare. Did she really have to be so inconsiderate? Though, she turned back to her friend when she heard giggling. Lapis had her finger to her lips as she laughed. Why was she laughing..? Peridot didn't want to get her hopes up. Just seconds before, she was fully prepared for Lapis to announce that she was going back to her room. Peridot knew that their friendship would stay intact, nothing could come between that. She was more afraid of Lapis feeling weird being in the same room as her at night.
After a few seconds of giggling, Lapis finally took a breath, smiling widely at her friend. "Oh man.. I was so scared."
"Why were you-"
"I'm bisexual." At these words, the tension in the air suddenly disappeared.
"Oh my god." Peridot laid back on her bed, relief evident on her face. So she was scared for nothing.
"I'm guessing you thought I was gonna leave if I found out you were gay, huh?" Lapis asked her friend.
Peridot nodded, smiling up at Lapis. "You thought the same?" Lapis nodded, giggling once again. Her giggling turned to laughter, and she was soon joined with by Amethyst, then Peridot. The three girls laughed, Peridot and Lapis having their fears swept away in that see of laughter.. well, most of their fears.
When the laughter finally died down, Amethyst wiping a tear from her eye, she talked to Lapis. "Alright, alright.. so Peridot answered the question, and then some, but what about you? Any sex story to share?" Peridot's face shifted from joy to that of anticipation. She was.. anxious to hear her friend's answer.
Lapis had a finger to her chin in thought. Peridot was starting to get scared. Did Lapis have so many experiences that it was hard to pick one from the other? How many people has she had sex with? The blonde girl didn't even want to think about it. Though, her fears dissolved once again to be replaced by laughter at Lapis' answer. "Does masturbating count?"
Amethyst shook her head. "Nah, not even close. So you're both pure flowers, huh? I expected this of Wondernerd, but you, Lapis? I'm almost disappointed."
The blue hair girl scowled in mock offense. "You're one to talk, Miss Sex Machine."
"Hey, that was in high school, and just cuz I called myself that doesn't mean I had sex." The three girls were laughing once more.
Peridot knew that if she never resorted to the blade to calm herself down the night before, she wouldn't be having as much fun as she was right now. Maybe.. maybe she could get away with this after all.
