Garnet felt her lip quirk up slightly as Pearl's grip on her arm tightened slightly and she leaned further into her side. They were walking down the boardwalk together. Alone. For once. Garnet felt Pearl sigh and press her face against her arm. Garnet flexed slightly and lead her around a turn, pride swelling slightly, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw him. The very bane of her existence, Mayor Bill Dewey. She flinched when he caught sight of them and flashed Pearl a large grin.
"Garnet? Why did you stop?" Pearl leaned away from her and grabbed her hand, squeezing it slightly.
"Aw, Pearl and Garnet, the two best from the mysterious Crystal Gems! How are you doing tonight?" Dewey walked right up to Pearl and grabbed her free hand, lifting it to kiss the back. Pearl stepped into Garnet's side and glanced at her, face masked but Garnet could still see a hint of discomfort.
"Ah…. Yes, thank you… Human male." Pearl pulled her hand back and wiped it on her shorts, her grip on Garnet's arm tightening.
"You can call me Bill, Pearl. Honestly, we're both adults. Speaking of adults, why don't you join me on a date this evening? Just you and me and a little champagne. Let's see where the night takes us." He winked at her and that set Garnet over the edge. She took a step forward, her teeth and hands clenched. Pearl tightened her grip and held her back, Dewey stepping back slightly.
"She's not 'nterested 'n you, she doesn't like you, leave 'er 'lone or I will personal kick your 'ss do you understand?" Dewey's face blanched and he nodded, held up his hands, then turned on his heels and ran away.
"Garnet, honestly, what was that about!" Garnet grabbed her hand and tugged her back home. They entered the house and headed straight for the temple door, which opened on Pearl's room. Garnet stomped over to the edge and jumped off, Pearl jumping after her and chasing her into her secret bedroom. "Garnet! Would you stop, tell me what's wrong with you!" She turned away from Pearl, her whole body tense.
"I don't know." Pearl scoffed and walked around to stare at her.
"You don't know!? Garnet! Would you just-" Pearl cut off and her face softened. Garnet's face was bright red, and she was shaking slightly. "Garnet. Were you jealous?"
"…maybe." Pearl laughed and wrapped her arms around her neck.
"Garnet! You don't need to get jealous! You're my mate… I don't want anyone else. Especially not some sweaty Earth male." Garnet let a smile slip and Pearl grinned, pressing their lips together in a kiss. Garnet sat down on their bed and pulled Pearl to sit on her lap, nuzzling her neck with her nose. "Garnet! You're such a tease." Pearl giggled as Garnet pressed her lips to her jaw, trailing them up to her lips. Pearl hummed happily and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. "Much better…" Garnet flipped them over and pressed her against the bed, sucking in Pearl's bottom lip to nibble on it.
"You're mine, and only mine. I'm sorry I got jealous…" Pearl moaned and nodded, pulling her closer.
"I don't c-care just… Let's couple, please?" She moaned lightly and Garnet grinned.
"Anything for you, love."
