Peridot pulled the Amethyst to the Big Donut. "Where are you taking me Peridot?" The small gem smirked.
"The Big Donut! You're gonna show me a good donut to eat with you." Amethyst looked at the green gem.
"Yes, Let's go get some food!"
"Amethyst, want me to feed it to you." Amethyst blushed at the thought. Peridot, feeding me? No, that's too cute. "Are you ok Amethyst?"
"I-I'm fine! Let's just go!" Peridot stopped, and turned to look at Amethyst.
"I'll feed you if you want me to."
"Not in public!" Amethyst blushed, grabbing the green gem.
"Don't pick me up! It's embarrassing!" The two gems had been spending a lot of time together, all because of Peridot's break down. Amethyst was having fun, for once in her life. Peridot just wanted to feel something, she would do anything to feel the happiness that she so longingly yearned for.
"How's Lapis?" Peridot's face went from a smile, into a small frown. She stared into the shop, where she heard someone talking.
"She's fine. Just, she's kind of taking things hard." Peridot's face sank even more as she heard Steven's voice.
"Put me down, please." Amethyst hugged the green gem for a short time, and put her down. "Let's go back to the temple."
"But, Perido-"
"I'm not feeling up for it now." Peridot started slowly back towards the temple. Amethyst quickly followed behind. I can't pay attention to Lapis. I need to focus on Amethyst now.
"Peridot!" The green gem turned around, expecting Amethyst to be talking to her, but she saw Amethyst turn around as well. "Peridot!" The green gem watched as a tuckered out Steven ran up to her. "Lapis has been looking for you." Peridot turned around, forcing her tears down.
"Where is she?"
"I think she's at the barn." Peridot ran past Steven, pushing him aside. I can't go there, I can't. Peridot tried to think of a place she could go, somewhere no one would find her. "There." Peridot took a detour, turning in another direction.
Peridot stopped at a tree. Is it a tree? It looks more like a sapling to me. Peridot sat down by the sapling, pushing her back against the bark. "Maybe I can rest now." The green gem pulled a gray tape-recorder out of her pocket. I can take my mind off of this. I have to.
"Peridot!" Peri looked up, only to see Amethyst walking towards her. She quickly shoved the recorder back into her pockets. Freaking out, the green gem stood up, and ran to hug the purple gem. "I'm sorry, I saw you run in a direction different from the barn. I had to follow you." Peridot wrapped her arms around the Amethyst. Kissing whatever she could reach.
"It's fine, you idiot." Peridot's grip tightened around the white gem. "I just don't want to talk to Lapis right now."
"Why not?" The green gem stopped. Her face blushed, as her mind went blank.
"I-I'm" Peridot started to freak out. "I'm scared that y-you'll think I'm doing something with her." God dammit, what's wrong with me?
"Honey," Amethyst blushed. "I'm glad that you're worried about me, but Lapis wants to talk to you." Amethyst hugged the green gem.
"Amethyst, I-" The purple gem picked her lover up.
"It's ok. I'll go with you, if that helps." Peridot blushed, staring into Amethyst's eyes.
"Amethyst, I l-"
"Shhh," Amethyst put her finger over the smol gem's mouth. "I love you too, Peri." Peridot wrapped her arms around the purple gem. "Thank you, Amethyst." The green gem tugged on Amethyst's neck.
"PERIDOT!" Amethyst fell face first, the only thing keeping her off the ground being her arms. Peridot was trapped under her, the green gem's face turning red. Amethyst looked at the situation she was in, and was… Happy? What am I doing? "Well, let's get going." Amethyst pushed herself off the ground.
"But, what abou-"
"Peridot?" The green gem got up, looking around Amethyst, looking at Lapis. The blue gem was just standing there, her eyes filled with tears.
"L-Lapis?"
"What's going on?" Peridot jumped up, and ran in front of Amethyst.
"Nothing's going on, I jus-"
"Just gave up on me? Figures." Lapis turned around, and started to run. Peridot wanted to say something, she wanted to yell at the top of her lungs, but nothing would come out. The green gem fell to her knees, tears instantaneously started to shoot out of her eyes.
"I really do mess everything up, don't I?" Peridot stood up, turning around to face Amethyst. "I have to, right? Isn't this how relationships work? Make mistakes, and if they don't work then they don't?" Peridot's voice became more mutilated by the second, her mind was blank, her eyes were puffy. The green gem couldn't even stand right, let alone walk. How was she supposed to deal with this? She couldn't even get to a safe spot, somewhere she could think.
"You don't mess everything up." Amethyst sat down, next to Peridot. "I remember when you first knocked on the door, with those flowers. I thought I would finally get a chance to show you how I felt. But, in the end, I thought I was the one who ruined everything." Peridot sniffled, clearing her voice as best she could.
"I know, and it was my fault."
"Don't blame yourself for everything that happens. There are things we can't control, just like what happened." Amethyst wrapped her arms around Peridot, tightening her grip around the green gem. Her legs wrapped around what little was left of Peridot. "I'll love you no matter what. Even if everyone else resents you, and wants to let you go, I'll stay with you." Peridot turned around, and grabbed the purple gem's face, kissing her for a short while.
"Should I leave her alone for a bit? or..." Peridot stopped, she didn't know what to say. Her mouth remained open, waiting for something to come out, but all that came out was a sigh as she closed it.
"Let her have a bit of time to recuperate her thoughts." Peridot nodded.
"Let's go to the temple. You can show me your room." Amethyst blushed, which quickly turned into a smile.
"I'd be glad to. Especially if it'll take your mind off this." Peridot looked into the sky, looking at all the white clouds floating above her head.
"Yeah, that'd be nice." I might be able to focus on Amethyst for once, instead of Lapis. Neither are a bad thing, I just need to make this work as much as possible. Even if it means…
"You coming?" Amethyst was already a bit of the ways ahead, yelling at Peridot. The green gem smirked, jumped up, and yelled back.
"You bet your ass I am!" She got into a sprinting position, and took off.
