Steven and Amethyst jumped as the door slammed open, falling off its hinges. Pearl huffed in indignation and stormed past them towards the temple doors without so much as a look or word in their direction. They shared a wide-eyed look and Steven shrugged, his mouth turning down in a frown and his eyes filling with concern. They both turned to the door at the sound of it being moved, and watched Garnet prop the broken door against its frame. She turned around and walked to them casually, standing with her arms crossed.
"Where's Pearl?" To anyone that didn't know her, she sounded perfectly normal, but to the two younger gems there was a certain strain to her voice.
"She went to her room…" Garnet nodded and walked towards the temple door at a faster than normal pace, then disappeared into the temple doors. "What do you think happened? I've never seen Pearl like that…" Amethyst sighed and stood from the couch, stretching and yawning.
"Who cares? They'll work it out, don't worry about it." She looked back at Steven, but he was looking down, obviously distraught. Amethyst grinned and picked him up over her head, making him laugh. "Come on! Let's go get some Fry Bits!" She raced to the door, kicking it out of the way, and jumped down to the beach. Those two had better get their shit together while they were gone.

Garnet stopped just inside Pearl's room, looking around. She spotted her at an unusual place, one of the highest waterfalls in her room, not her usual. Garnet jumped up and landed behind her without so much as a sound, but she knew Pearl knew she was there. Pearl's arms were wrapped around herself, her hands gripping her forearms.
"Pearl. What happened? Did I do somethin' wrong?" She turned around, wearing a scowl.
"No. Of course it wasn't you!" Pearl growled and stomped her foot, her cheeks turning a light blue. "It was that stupid human boy!" Pearl practically spit the word out, her face turned up in disgust. Garnet stared at her, amazed and slightly scared.
"Wait a minute. Are you jealous?" Garnet's mouth turned up in a small knowing smile as Pearl puffed up, her cheeks darkening.
"Of a human!? No! I'm just saying, I didn't like the way he talked to you. Or looked at you. Or stood near you." Pearl crossed her arms and tapped her foot, frustration building.
"Pearl, 't's 'lright to be jealous." Garnet stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her lover. "Goddess knows I get jealous more than I should." Garnet chuckled and her smile grew when the corner of Pearl's lips twitched ever so slightly. "Don't worry about 'im, 'lright? 'E 'lready tried, and I told 'im no. Three's a crowd." Pearl stiffened and pushed her back, face dark blue and eyes watering up. She stormed to the side of the waterfall and jumped off, and Garnet ran after her, confused. Garnet landed and watched Pearl's sash disappear through her bedroom door, and followed quickly after. She stopped in the doorway and watched Pearl sit down on her bed and cup her face in her hands. Garnet bit her lip and walked in quietly; She sat down next to Pearl and placed her hand against her lover's back. Pearl stiffened and looked away from her, sniffling. "What did I say wrong this time?"
"Three's a crowd. I understand you're a living embodiment of Ruby and Sapphire's love, but I didn't realize you couldn't have feelings of your own." Garnet grimaced and tried to pull her onto her lap, but Pearl pushed away from her and stood with her back to her. Garnet sighed and looked down at her hands in her lap, mind racing.
"I didn't mean 't like tha'… I just meant… Me and you, yah know? Jamie would just… Complicate things…" Pearl turned around slowly, trying to look indifferent but still obviously interested. "Pearl, 'f there's any way I can make 't up to you, tell me please? I don't want… I don't want this to be anothe' fight we resolve in a trap." Pearl's lips quirked into a smile, and she tapped a finger against her lips.
"Take your suit off." Garnet's head shot up and her eyes widened, her face burning.
"What?" Pearl laughed at her flustered face and stepped closer to her to run a finger down her cheek.
"You heard me. Take. It. Off." Garnet sat frozen for a moment before she shrugged. She poofed her glasses away and stood to grab the zipper at her side. She zipped it down to her thigh and tugged her arms out of their sleeves, then pushed the rest down and off her body to land at her feet. Pearl hummed in approval and stepped closer to run her hands across her well toned arms and stomach, admiring her scars. "Now, take off mine." Garnet nodded and turned her around to tug her sash undone and let it fall to the ground. She wrapped her arms around Pearl's front and ran her hands against her stomach and thighs, then grabbed the bottom of her shirt and tugged it up and over her head. Garnet dropped it at their feet and returned to her work. She brushed her hand against Pearl's pelvic bone, which made Pearl shiver, and moved her hands away to stroke her thighs. Pearl huffed and grabbed her hands to slide them between her legs, then let out a shaky breath and sighed. Garnet chuckled and pressed her right hand up against Pearl's pouch opening, circling it with her finger and pushing down against it. Pearl moaned softly and felt her knees going weak. She pushed Garnet's hands away and pointed to her shorts. Garnet nodded and hooked her thumbs in the band, then tugged them down slowly, sitting on her knees to tug them all the way down to Pearl's feet. Pearl stepped out of them and turned around, eyes gleaming with mischief. She reached out for Garnet's hands and, once she had them, pulled them up and placed them on her panties. Garnet pulled them down quickly, licking her lips. Pearl placed her hands on Garnet's shoulders for support as she stepped out of them, kicking them back when they were off. Garnet looked up at her and Pearl tugged her up to stand in front of her, then pulled her face down to kiss her. Garnet wrapped her arms around her middle and pulled her closer, but Pearl broke the kiss and pushed her back to sit on the bed. Pearl shook her head and pointed to Garnet's boxers, and Garnet pulled them off and down, sliding them off her legs. "Much better." Pearl kissed her again, her hands sliding through Garnet's hair as she climbed onto her lap, straddling her. Garnet's hands slid down her back to grab her ass, her right hand sliding down and around to tease Pearl's pouch opening. Pearl moaned against her lip and pushed Garnet back to lay against the bed. "I'm done with teasing." She tapped her finger against Garnet's pelvic bone. "I want to couple with you, and I want it right now." Garnet nodded her consent, and Pearl slipped her hands between Garnet's legs to run against her pouch. Garnet moaned and relaxed against the bed, her breath hitching as her tentacles began to emerge and wrap around Pearl's fingers. Pearl giggled and played with them, rubbing the tip of one while she stroked a finger up and down the other.
"Pearl, p-please… N-no teasin'." Garnet's voice was shaky, and she had to bite her lips to keep from moaning gaudily. Pearl complied and climbed higher on her lap, then lowered herself down onto Garnet's tentacles. They buried themselves in her heat without any reserve, squirming and wriggling wildly. Pearl gasped and purred as she began riding Garnet's lap, lifting herself up with her knees and falling back down to sheath Garnet completely. Pearl cupped her own breasts and fondled hem as she rode Garnet, squeezing and kneading them and occasionally pinching her nipples. Garnet groaned at the side, absolutely in love with the way Pearl lost herself when she got like this. She could feel how hot she was, how wet she was and she was completely entranced. Pearl sheathed Garnet once more and grabbed her stomach, then grinded her hips down against hers. "Oh fuck." Garnet grabbed onto Pearl's hips and pulled her down harder, then pushed her own hips up. Pearl squeaked and her eyes widened as Garnet began lifting her up and dropping her back down, slamming into her with every fall. Soon they were both moaning sweaty messes close to bursting. "P-Pearl, oh Goddess, I love you." Pearl whimpered and her nose scrunched up as she came, her juices flowing out and wetting both her and Garnet's thighs. Garnet hissed as Pearl pulsed around her tentacles, and slammed her down once more before coming inside of her. Pearl gasped and purred at the warm reproductive fluids filling her up to the brim and then leaking back out into Garnet's lap. Garnet retracted her tentacles and pulled Pearl down against the bed. Pearl laid down beside her and they looked at each other with wide smiles. Garnet pushed a stray piece of hair away from Pearl's eyes and trailed her hand down to her waist, her lower torso slightly extended from being filled. Pearl giggled and leaned forward to kiss her, grabbing her hand to thread their fingers together. "Have I been forgiven?" Pearl pulled away and bit her lip, then nodded and grinned.
"Yes you have. Now shut up and kiss me. I think I might want another round."
