I'm loving this Lapidot week, you guys keep putting out good stories and it warms my heart!

Lapis was starting to get annoyed that she couldn't wake up at the same time as Peridot since the start of the week but as long as she was happy that was all that mattered. Peering over the ledge of the second level of the barn she saw Peridot sitting down with Amethyst discussing something, staying silent she could actually begin to make out what they were saying:

"Have you and Lapis talked about doing anything for today?" Amethyst questioned bouncing her eyebrows at the green gem across from her. Lapis narrowed her eyes at the purple gem wondering what her intentions were. "If not you can always spend the day with me Peri." Lapis growled as Amethyst hugged Peridot with a smile, Lapis only silenced herself when Amethyst shot her a wink and mouthed 'I got your back shush!' Lapis kept her glare but didn't make any more sounds.

"I will enjoy her company but.." Peridot blushed and began playing with her hands. "..I'm not too sure what to get her." Amethyst looked towards the ocean gem: 'What do you want?'

'I don't know!'

'Come on don't be a pain right now!'

'Anything as long as it's her!' Amethyst inwardly groaned before patting Peridot's shoulder.

"Look Peri, I'm sure whatever you get her she will love it!" Peridot kept her eyes to the ground. "Or my offer still stands, let's spend the day together." Lapis clenched the ledge a little too hard causing a snap and making her jump back as Peridot turned to see what the noise was. "Shoot I can even help ya pick out a gift!"

"That's actually a great idea! Let's go!" Peridot bounced with joy before writing a note for Lapis who she assumed was still asleep. She held Amethyst's hand and the two slowly walked out the barn allowing Amethyst to shoot Lapis a wink who only replied with a death glare:

'I'm watching you.'

After a while the ocean gem flew out of the barn grumbling to herself before heading around the other side of town in hopes of finding some kind of techno-mumbo-jumbo that Peridot could use for her inventions and morps.

"Calm down Lapis, focus on Peri only. YOUR Peri." her love stricken smile returned to her face as she swooped down over a junkyard finding random pieces of computer towers, laptops, keyboard keys, and even an old video game console. A part of her wondered if Steven could help her figure out what console it was then maybe she could get games as a gift for Peridot as well! "She'll be so happy I can't wait!" Grabbing all that she could hold in a sack, Lapis lifted it up and flew towards the beach house.

On the other side of town Amethyst waited and waited as Peridot scanned over everything in her sights in hopes of finding a gift for Lapis. Her eyes grew big as she spotted a glass case containing a glass canteen of healing water that had a sign underneath: Always cold, always ready to heal!' Peridot sported a huge grin and ran back to Amethyst.

"I think I found the gift!" Amethyst smiled brightly and joined the little green gem in purchasing said gift before heading back to the beach house in hopes of wrapping it up. Peridot had stopped at the bottom of the stairs to check over the gift again as Amethyst opened the door and froze scared! Lapis did the same thing causing Steven to look weirded out.

"Hide! Peri's coming up!" Amethyst whisper shouted! Steven shoved Lapis under the stairs where she would remain quiet until her girlfriend headed back to the barn. Holding her breath steady Peridot walked in slightly blushing.

"Greetings Steven! I came by to ask if I could maybe have a box and another bow to present Lapis my gift with?"

"Awwwwww! Your first Valentine's day and your already buying gifts!"

Peridot blushed brighter with a small smile on her lips, Lapis wanted to hug her against her chest but had to contain a growl as Amethyst returned to hugging the shorter gem. "Yupp! Me and P-Dot found her girl the perfect gift!" Steven handed the earlier items over to allow Peridot to wrap them up together before waving goodbye to her friends and walking out the door. Steven motioned for Lapis to come out but regretted it as her eyes pierced through Amethyst who could only give out a nervous chuckle: "Easy there Laps, just friendly gestures is all!"

Lapis took a breath and calmed herself before returning to her normal deadpanned expression. "You keep your hands off, and I won't spill to Pearl about you secretly cleaning everything." the ocean gem grinned as the quartz blushed and shot her an angry glare. "Your not the only one able to tease." Laughing out the door Lapis flew a different route back to the barn.

Peridot was pacing upstairs practicing her lines of what she would say allowing Lapis to sneak out the ice gun and head to the pool. Using her powers, Lapis silently lifted up a stream to create a heart with multiple loops and in the middle she wrote L.P. with an arrow through the heart. Putting the gun down she turned on her heel and yelped as Peridot stared at the sculpture in amazement.

"Wow." Lapis blushed brightly and shakily held Peridot's hand in her own. "You did this Lapis?" she nodded nervously looking into the smaller gem's eyes finding happiness in them and calming down. Peridot pulled her down and kissed her cheek giggling softly. "I love it." Lapis felt fireworks going off as she held the gem closely coating her in kisses until she was shoved off giggling. Peridot handed over the box to which Lapis slowly opened it and gazed upon the bright glowing canteen feeling the cool touch beneath her fingers and gasped.

"This is amazing Peri."

"Glad you like it!" she squeaked with joy. Lapis leaned over and stole a kiss.

"I love it."

The couple took a photo of the ice sculpture before melting it and creating a layer of ice to dance the night away once more. After a few hours they retired back to the bed and snuggled together sharing kisses and petting pumpkin as the whole family fell fast asleep.

Not the best out of all Lapidot Valentine's Day stories but i'm happy to contribute my own!
