Amethyst sat the green gem down, kissing her forehead as she did. "You can't be sitting in the rain like that. You'll get sick." Peridot stared at her lover.
"I'm sorry." Amethyst's head jerked a bit.
"Don't be, I got jealous over nothing."
"But I-" Amethyst pushed her lips over the green gem's, instantly shutting her up. Her face moved away from the gem for a quick breath.
"Don't worry about it. Let's just get home before you get sicker than you already are." Peridot nodded, and wrapped her arms around her lover.
Peridot was on Amethyst's back. The purple gem suggested it, she didn't want her Peridot getting too wet. "Hey, Peri, I'm sorry. I overreacted, and I just got pissed off for no reason." Peridot shook her head.
"You had every reason to be."
"No, I didn't." The green gem slid her arms down, and tightened her grip. "I just saw something and assumed the worst." Peridot's grip tightened more.
"Don't worry about it." Peridot's eye started to tear up once more.
"Peridot?"
"Yes, Amethyst?"
"We're here." Amethyst put the green gem down, and opened the door. "Hurry up and get in there. I'll get you something warm."
"It's fine Ameth- ACHOO!" Peridot launched off the ground, sneezing and spitting everywhere.
"No, sit in the chair and I'll get you a blanket, and something warm." Peridot nodded, and obeyed. The purple gem wrapped the green gem in the blanket off Steven's bed, and went to the kitchen. Peridot was sneezing in the background, but it was more than enough to get Amethyst working her hardest. The purple gem turned around, handing Peridot a cup of tea. "It's not Hot Chocolate, but it's warm, and it's sweet." Peridot took the cup out of Amethyst's hands. She took a quick drink, and put it down from her lips.
"It's a bit too hot, but it's sweet."
"Just like you." Amethyst whispered under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing!" Amethyst smiled, and went back to the kitchen. "I'll see if I can get you some soup." Peridot smiled, her mouth opened, wanting to say something, but all she could say was, "I love you, Amethyst." The purple gem dropped what she was holding. The glass bowl she was holding shattered, and the spoon she had fell right next to the shards. Her face turned red, getting redder and brighter every second.
"Peridot, I-" Amethyst turned around, her face was lined with tears. "Peridot, I'm sorry." Amethyst walked over to the green gem, wrapping her arms around her. "I just don't want to loose you. I can't." Amethyst's voice grew weary, her face was red, and her cries were loud. Peridot was shocked, but gently wrapped her arms around the purple gem.
"Amethyst. I-" Peridot stopped. Her eyes started to water, her face turning red. She put the cup down on the table next to her. "I want to stay, I want to make it work." Amethyst looked up, and slumped down. "I just don't know what to do." Amethyst looked back down.
"I'm not willing to give you up either." Peridot looked at the stairs, the purple gem following her line of sight. Lapis was walking down the stairs.
"LAPIS! You're still sick, what are yo- ACHOO!" Peridot stared at the blue gem, waiting for something to happen.
"I'm fine. I had a good nap, and got my energy back."
"I'm not letting you take her away." Lapis's attention shot to Amethyst, Peridot stared down. "She's mine, and I will not let anyone have her." Amethyst looked up at her Peridot, crying even harder than before. "I won't, I can't." The tears on the purple gem's face streamed faster, and were more dense. Her grip became tighter.
"Amethyst, it's ok. I won't-"
"Are you sure?" Peridot shot her attention to Lapis. "People's feelings can change in an instant. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened he-"
"SHUT UP!" Amethyst stood up, staring at Lapis. "JUST SHUT UP! I'm tired of hearing you talk like that!" Peridot shifted her attention between the two. Please, stop this.
"You're one to talk, who was it that got pissed off over nothing?" I need to stop this…
"And who was it that got pissed off over watching her kiss me!?"
"STOP THIS, BOTH OF YOU!" Peridot yelled out, her voice was scratchy, and her tears were flowing like a waterfall. "I don't want to choose between you two. It's hard enough to love you both!" Peridot stared at the two gems, both looking back at her. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She ran out to the rain, and ran. I can't, I have to run. I'm not doing this!
Peridot ran to the barn, it was her last safe haven. The only place she could keep to herself. I just need time. I just need time. The green gem kept repeating to herself, sometimes letting out a gasp of air. The rain was pouring down hard on her, it started to turn to hail. There was something wrong with this weather, but she didn't care. All Peridot wanted was to be alone. After that display of, whatever it was, She didn't want a part in any relationship. If that's what it means, if that's what it is to be in a relationship, I can't have any part in it.
The green gem stopped at the barn, she stared at the sign up on the top. "I need to change that. Keep Out would work nicely." She walked into the barn, staring at the mess that was there. I can make a bed out of some of these parts. She looked around, and saw a picture sitting on the ground. Peridot picked it up, and stared at it. There was a tall gem, pink, and Greg? "This is what they had together?" Peridot wiped her face of tears, she calmed herself down as much as she possibly could. "I can do this. I can do this." The green gem repeated to herself. "I'll make a bed, and I can stay here."
AN: You think this has been amazing so far? This one's about to become the saddest thing I've ever written. This one...It's going to be so fucking sad guys.
