Such a Flirt

For lapidot AU week day something (free day/ bad pickup lines) again the idea just popped into my head and here it is.

(Btw I checked it for spelling errors this time unlike yesterday I know I'm an idiot XD)

------------------------

Lapis POV.

I had never been one for parties. Drinking and socializing and dancing Were not among the things I enjoyed doing, especially all together. But I had allowed my little blonde nerd to bring me anyway.

Despite her awkward nature, peridot was very much a people person. She lived for the attention and talking that I ussaully attempted to avoid. It's was fun watching her be in her element though, happy and smiling while chatting around.

I never understood why out of everyone she could be with, she chose me. But she always made me feel warm and loved. I felt so comfortable around her. And I felt so unworthy of such a sweet person... but I knew what she would say, so I kept that thought to myself.

I simply watched from afar, sometimes glancing around to the other people. But when I looked back at peridot I was a bit dissapointed to see her taking shots. Not unusual, but not something I really approved of. Thankfully she didn't drink THAT often. I rarely had to see her stumbling and giggling out to the car.

But I did keep a more careful eye on her now, hoping every time that lifted a glass she would STOP, but her friend amythest seemed to be rooting heron to take more. Peridots movement became slower and less coordinated, so I knew it was kicking in.

"Worried?" I jumped at the sudden voice, turning from my place against the wall to see Steven, another one of peridots friends. Though, admittedly, he had wormed his cute little face into my heart as well. I relaxed, giving the younger boy a small smile.

"Don't I have the right to? I can at least be thankful that she isn't a crazy drunk." I chuckled to myself as Steven stepped a bit closer. "She'll be okay, lapis. I've seen her do much worse in terms of drinking." He gave my back a small pat.

"And you've known her longer than me. I'll take your word for it." I said a little quieter, a few doubts still in my mind. He just gave another small smile and jogged over to pearl, who was rolling her eyes at amythest.

So for awhile I forced myself to just stay calm. Refusing to look up and perhaps catch peridot doing something stupid while drunk.

However, it was a bout maybe half an hour later when I finally had to look up, because of approaching footsteps. "Hey~"

I blinked at the flirty tone and shot my head up, but was relieved when it was just peridot, a goofy grin on her face. I chuckled and smiled back. "Hi. You okay?"

The blonde huffed, and leaned against the wall beside me, shooting me a flirty wink. "Better now~. Why are you all alone in the corner, honey?" I was a bit confused, but blushed a bit at her flirting. I tilted my head with a small huff. "I should've kept watching you. No telling how drunk you are."

She giggled and shrugged. "Not too far gone to see a pretty lady all alone~. Nice to know you noticed me as well." She was speaking strange, like it would've been unusual to watch her.

"Its not a very hard decision... you're flirting is terrible." I laughed, my shoulders shaking a bit before I stretched and looked back at her. She lifted an arm to her chest. "You wound me. I'm complimenting you. But if you want me to stop I will~"

"I never said that..." I whispered, smiling again. I bumped her shoulder lightly, careful not to send her stumbling away. It was nice seeing her playful. Though of course she had always been pretty honest, she had only been like this once or twice. The first time was the first time she took me to a party. The night to follow was... interesting. I feel my cheeks heat at the memories. The second was when sober, during a small roadtrip we took up to a larger city.

Her grin went back to being wide, and she lightly took my hand, kissing it. "Then I won't~. Can I ask your name, blue?" At this I froze. "My name?" She nodded, rubbing my hand with her thumb. "I could keep coming up with sweet things to call you... but it would be so much sweeter to say such a beuatiful lady's name~"

I blushed at the comment, feeling my heart beat a bit faster. She forgot who I was? Did she think I was just some pretty girl at this party? "You don't know me?"

She seemed a bit confused too, but kept her warm smile. "Unfortonately... but I'd like to... forgive my forwardness." Her eyes sparkled a bit with anticipation, waiting for some sort of answer.

I couldn't believe it. She completely forgot who I was. But was STILL flirting with me? I looked down, giggling, covering my face in embaressment. "You dork..."

She laughed a bit too, and let our hands fall into a less proper pose. "Well... I could try other pickup lines... I don't plan to stop until I get your name." She said it happily, but I could tell she was serious.

She squeezed my hand. "Would ya look at that, now I can say I've been touched by an angel. Hope it didn't hurt too bad falling from heaven~" I blushed worse, leaning against her and giggling at how STUPIDLY cute she was. I felt so warm and happy that I couldn't even speak as she contenued. "Something must be wrong with my eyes... I can't take them off you. It's strange, such a work of art should be in a museum~"

I snorted into a laughing fit, pushing her shoulder. "Oh god stop! They're so bad!" I covered my mouth and squeezed her hand back before blushing and looking back at her. "Its lapis. You?" I smiled as she brightened up again, smiling as she leaned closer to me. "Me? Oh my dear I might as well change my name to fallen for you~"

This got me to snort again, and I punch her arm playfully. "I meant your real name, you SAP." She giggled in return and leaned into my ear. "Peridot. Nice to meet you~"

I felt a bit more warm at her breathy whisper, but closed my eyes and smiled as she kept whispering sweet and cheesy things to me for a good few mote minutes. But she stopped, pausing for a second and relaxing. "Want to... get out of here? It would be a waste to not get one date with you..."

I turned again, and decided to smirk. "Well, unfortunately... I have a girlfriend. And I planned to go home with her tonight." Her face fell. And for a second I felt bad, but I lifted her hand to kiss it like I had earlier. "She smart, adorable, loving, and everything I've ever wanted. She's a dork, likes math and science, and wears green metal frame glasses." Peridot seemed to pause, just staring at me as i described her. "I hope you understand that I'd never leave her." I said quietly.

I saw something flash in her eyes, and her cheeks go red. "You... you just described... me...."

I laughed, and moved, pulling her into a short sweet kiss, before pulling about an inch away. "I did~. You're awfully drunk. Good to know I still catch your eye." I kissed her cheek and pulled back farther, smiling.

"Now let's get you home."

Admin Speech ~ 19/2/2017

As I search for Steven/Lapis content for today, I aware that there is an event this week and today is the last day. It is #LapidotWeek. Well, I was thinking when will LapivenWeek/Bomb will occur? As I ship this about 2 years, I don’t saw any event for this ship yet like we have pewey, jaspis ��and other ships have their event. Also, are they any event for Steven x Gem yet? Aside of that, I just  forgot about Valentine’s day. I search back for the date but sadly I can’t find any Steven/Lapis fanarts. Like I don’t want to sexual just giving card or flower but no. It caught tears in my eyes a bit...

School Sucks

One shot for day 5 of lapidot week (highschool/collage human AU) I actually finished this early wut the hec.

Lots of fluff XD

-------------------------

The thud of heavy, tired footsteps marked the coming of a exhausted blonde up the stairs. She pushed open her door, leaning back on it to close it, then dropped her satchel and flopped face first onto the bed. At the moment she could careless about food or any kind of socializing.

She had woken up at 4 that morning and been forced on an hour long jog with her cousin, amythest, then had to shower, get dressed, and catch the bus before 7. As she had reached the cursed highschool she had of course had to run into jasper, where she somehow swindled her way out of a fight or more appropriately, an ass kicking. School itself was a nightmare, as 3 different classes had pop quizzes, and of course she had forgotten about her engineering class project, having to rush to write an entire essay within 20 minutes. She was picked on in p.e., and got in trouble for talking, so was sent to run laps instead of the activity. As if the day could not have gotten any worse, she missed her bus home, and had to walk 2 miles back.

Where she was now questioning everything and groaning as she thought how the universe must have had an off day, picking on the small, nerdy, highschool student. Everything from her head, to her shoulders, to her back, to her legs and feet ached.

But somehow she couldn't get her eyes to close, so she layed there silently as the sun slowly sank. Just as she felt ready to sleep a tink sound came from her window. The blonde thought nothing of it, but a few more similar sounds followed, and she groaned as she grudgingly got up and looked out the window.

As bad as she felt, a small smile appeared as she saw a familier head of blue hair. She opened the window and crossed her arms, leaning against it. "You know one of these days You're gonna throw too big of a stone and break my window. Why can't you just use the front door like a normal human?"

The bluenette gave a loud "HA" and dropped a few more stones she had in her grip, striding over and climbing up the side of the house somehow, smiling as she came face to face with peridot. "What fun would that be? Isn't this more Romantic than a stupid doorbell?" She gave a goofy grin and peridot rolled her eyes.

"You're so cheesy, lapis. I thought you'd be at class about now?" She raised a brow to the collage freshman, a little envious of the slightly older girl.

"My professor canceled. And I figured why not come see my love?" She leaned forward in an attempt at a kiss, but peridot huffed and reared back, laughing. "Oh no, cheesball. No overly romantic smooches for you."

Lapis shrugged casually. "Fair enough. Are you atleast gonna let me in though? I'd love to say my love for you is strong enough to allow me to stay in my position, but unfortunately the power of love doesn't transfer to muscles." She moved one hand up to grip the windowsill, but looked at peridot for confirmation it was okay.

The blonde sighed and moved back, getting reminded of how absolutely destroyed she felt. "Come in then, Romeo." She moved and fell onto her back on the bed, as lapis climbed in and shut the window behind her. "What's up with my Juliet then? You okay?" Her voice started jokey, but it got a bit more concerned at the shrunken figure laying on the bed.

Peridot hummed unamused. "I've had a very shit day. I would tell you about it but there's just too much. And I have a bit of a headache." She rubbed her temples, breathing deeply. "I am happy to see you though... I'm glad you're here."

Lapis smiled warmly and crawled into the bed, lifting her girlfriend up and laying her head on her lap. "Well I'm gonna play with your hair until you go to sleep, like a good girlfriend." Peridot laughed but gave a pleased sigh as lapis began lightly running her fingers through her hair.

Despite the slightly cold weather outside, lapis was warm, and peridot quickly relaxed. She felt lapis press a warm kiss to her for head, before contenuing. "You can sleep if you want. I promise I'll still be here when you wakeup."

But peridot couldn't quite sleep with lapis here. "Nah... but don't you dare stop." She growled, causing lapis to chuckle and adjust herself a bit. "I wouldn't dare~. But I could also give you a massage instead~" she giggled, moving one hand to gently squeeze the blondes shoulder.

Peridot huffed, but sat up and slid her shirt off, before rolling and laying on her stomach. "Yes please." Lapis smiled and obeyed, massaging her worn out girlfriends shoulders. She leaned down and planted light kisses across her back, making the blonde giggle. "Lapis stop that tickles!"

"Good! I want you to giggle. I want you to be happy." She moved up and lightly kissed her cheek, her hands slowing down. "I hate to see you in a bad mood." Peridot smiled and turned a bit to pull lapis in for a quick kiss, and pressing their foreheads together. "You are freakishly good at cheering me up. Thank you..."

Lapis scooted closer and pressed their lips together again sweetly, and moved her hand around to lightly play with the back of her hair. "My pleasure, darling." Peridot giggled again and snuggled into the bluenette, sighing happily.

"I guess not everything was bad."

BAD BET

Lapidot human/ghost AU for lapidot AU week. Yes I know I'm like 2 days late SHHHHH

Peridot couldn't believe she had actually agreed to this.

She looked up at the large, dark house. She'd never even thought of it too much till now, but it sent shivers up her spine. There were stories, most likely, but she hadn't cared about it. Why would she? It didn't involve her.

But of course she had agreed, on a bet, to go inside. She had to stay till midnight, and if she didn't come crawling out like a baby, or die, she would get 50 bucks.

She didn't dare glance back at the group of people she had started to call "friends". She doubted she'd still call them that after this. It wasn't like it would be that much of a loss anyway. The group had only talked to her for a few days, and she had the preference to be alone.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before hopping the squeaky fence and walking confidently up the front path. For show, of course. She peeked in the window, feeling her heart sink when she saw nothing but darkness.

"C'MON NERD, JUST FIND A WAY IN ALREADY!" She winced at the loud voice of the ringleader, Lars.

However she didn't want to seem like a wuss, so she faked a smirk and turned. "At least I'm over the FENCE. bet you don't even have the guts to touch it."

Lars narrowed his eyes, and pushed his skateboard into one of the others arms. "I'm not a wimp. I'll even come in with you. But this is your bet, shortstack." He ran and hopped the fence, walking up as peridot moved to try the door. It was stiff, but peridot tightened her grip and grunted, turning it roughly as the door swung open, causing the blonde to fall on the floor just inside.

Lars laughed, stepping over me and putting his hands on his hips as he looked around. "Pff. This is lame. Nothing in here but old torn up furniture. He looked back down at peridot, getting up and dusting herself off while coughing.

"Have fun being in here till midnight." He smirked, turning and walking back to the door. But before he even took a step it slammed closed, making peridot jump up. Lars stumbled back in shock, then moved to the door again, gripping the handle. "Very funny, buck. I'm so gonna get you back!" He attempted to turn the knob, but it wouldn't budge, and he laughed nervously. "C'mon guys! This isn't my bet. Let me out!" He struggled more with the door.

Peridot watched, but felt a shiver and turned, breathing a bit heavier and looking around. "Uh... lars?" She turned around nervously, but the redhead was still struggling with the door, grunting. She swear there were tears in his eyes, and as much as she wanted to laugh, she was too scared to focus on it.

She turned again, walking a bit further into the house, surprised about how clean it was. But the eerie silence made it uncomfortable. She found herself shaking, and glanced back at Lars, who was now beside her, wiping tears away. "What now nerd? This is YOUR bet..."

The blonde gave him a strange look, but faced forward, looking around and then to the stairs. "I don't really think we should be here. I just want the fifty bucks. I'm just gonna stay here." She moved and sat just in front of the fireplace, while the older teen scoffed.

"Boring. I'm gonna go upstairs. There's bound to be something interesting to do. Maybe a few pots to smash..." he marched up the stairs as peridot rolled her eyes. She loosely hugged her knees, closing her eyes and trying to stay calm.

However it was hard when a girly scream came from upstairs, and Lars suddenly half fell, half rolled down the stairs, somehow landing on his feet and rushing to the door yelling. "GUYS THIS IS FUCKED UP SERIOSLY LET ME OUT!"

Peridot jumped up, opening her mouth to say something, but felt the same chill, and a force push her back. She landed in a closet, which slammed shut as well. "LARS. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!" She pounded on the door, breathing heavily again.

She heard him scream again, followed by a crash. Then the front door opened and closed tightly, as she heard lars's panicked grunts and heavy footsteps

down the front yard. " LARS!" She hit the door a few more times, but just leaned against the back of the closet, panicking.

She slid down the wall, curling up and tightly gripping her jeans. She was trying to stay calm, but she was in A Locked Closet In The Creepiest House In Town. Her thoughts wandered dark, like she could die here. She might never get to graduate, never find someone she liked, never get an actual job. She would die here, ironicly, IN a CLOSET.

"HA! nice one, pumpkin!" The blonde paused as she heard the voice, along with happy light footsteps. "Heh I bet he PISSED himself. That was amazing! Everybody's gonna be talking about it at school!"

Peridot shivered, but moved into more crouch, pressing against the door. A small bark startled her, and she fell back again. While a few more yips came closer, along with the footsteps.

The blonde froze, pressing herself against the back of the loser as the lock clicked and the door was opened. She blinked, relaxing. "L-lapis!?" Her stunning crush stood there, her smile fading a bit. "PERI?"

It was awkward for a second, lapis blushing, but she bent down. "Are... are you okay?" She gently touched peridots knee. Giving a concerned look. "I knew someone else was here... but I thought it was Kiki or something... why were you with LARS?" She sounded a bit hurt, but also a bit angry.

"M-me? What are YOU doing here? Why are you just randomly hanging around in an old creepy house!?" She shot back, but tensing a bit and shakily standing. "Lapis was that you doing all the scares? Why? Wha... I don't understand." She looked into the black haired girls dark blue eyes, struggling to not fall into them again.

"I... well... uh..." lapis stuttered, blushing and kicking her foot a bit. "I don't think you'd believe me... and it's a long story. Look maybe you should just-" before she finished peridot heard another bark, and turned to see...

A... a dog?

But it was kindof see through, and it's small tail was wagging. It looked friendly, a small clear tongue lolling out of its mouth, and it's body slightly shaking with its tail....

But that didn't stop peridot from stumbling back. "WHAT THE HE'LL IS THAT?" She hid behind lapis, her eyes going wide as she looked at the... ghost? Ghost dog?

Lapis was stiff, but turned. "Peridot it's okay! Calm down he uh... uhm..." She struggled to find words to explain it. "This is uh... pumpkin..." She chuckled nervously. But she paused, growing her brows. "Wait... how can you see him?"

Peridot blinked. "Wha... what? What do you mean? Uh... is he a... ghost!? What the hell is HAPPENING? I'm dreaming... right...? Hooooly fuuuu..." She chuckles nervously, pacing a bit before pointing at the dog again. "Ghost. Ghost dog. You have a... ghost dog." She looked back at lapis, keeping her finger toward pumpkin.

Lapis smiled nervously. "Yeah..." She put her hands behind her back. "I... uh... like I said it's a long story..." pumpkin gave a small yup, and peridot blinked again, moving her hands and running them through her already messy hair while still staring at him. Lapis gently moves and puts her hands on peridots shoulder. "Please don't freak out... it's ok... really."

Peridot looked at her. Then laughed, rubbing her face. "Freak out? Lapis it's A GHOST. do you know how much I've wondered about paranormal stuff like this? This is amazing! And actual ghost!" She moved from the surprised girls grip to a crouching position. "How does it work? Like... can he posses things? People? Can he go through walls?"

She moved a hand out and the dogs tail wagged harder as he moved. To her surprise but joy, he rubbed against her hand and barked again. "And I can let him? This is a phenomenon! I can't believe this... oh my god..." She laughed, rubbing the transparent dogss ears and smiling.

Lapis relaxes, feeling her heart get warmer at the sweet sight. "No ones been able to see him begore... except me..." Peridot looked up, a little surprised. "I've been able to see him since I was little... everyone thought I was crazy..." Peridot stood, stepping forward.

Lapis was confused but the blonde lightly wiped a tear off. "I... you're not. Don't cry lapis. It's okay!" Lapis huffed happily, and suddenly wrapped the blonde in a hug.

"You cant tell anyone... for me, please? My dad would kill me..." She tightened thhe hug, and peridot sighed, hugging back. "I promise, lapis. Not like anyone would believe me anyway..." She laughed, then released lapis and felt pumpkin wiggle between them, panting.

"He's so cute... UGH" peridot laughed again, and both girls sqauted and began petting him. "I hope I didn't scare YOU. I just heard Lars talking about smashing stuff and... I got angry. This is his home. It wasn't fair."

"Well No ones gonna mess with it now. I'll help make sure of it." Peridot said seriously, smiling back up at lapis. The girl smiled back, and hesitantly moved and kissed the blondes cheek.

"Thanks, peri."

Please read p1 first or this won't make sense at all XD

Enjoy~

-------------------------------

This girl was leaving me speechless. I glanced down at our hands, mine red and still bearing the loop of rope, and hers covered by a tightish black and blue long sleeve shirt.

"I don't think there's much of a choice, no..." I whispered, unable to tear my eyes away from our hands. That is, until she started pulling me in the oppisite direction of the entrance door, releasing my hand to kneel and pull a good sized box out from behind a stack of crates. I perked up as she opened it, revealing my boosters and gloves.

"Figured you'd be more up for a fight with these." She huffed, smiling at my expression. I wasted no time strapping on my boosters and slipping on my gloves, powering them up and feeling their usual mechanical pulse and slight warmth.

She pushed the box back and waved, ushering me further away from the door and closer to the messiest part of the warehouse. She guided me through the boxy maze, until we reached a ladder and she began quickly climbing. I followed, thankful I had decided to redesign my gloves to make them less bulky. They were just about as thick as winter mittens, but still contained power that suited my needs.

The girl pushed out a window, and climbed outward. It dawned on my then that I still hadn't gotten her name. Unless it was just Laz. I doubted it. If jasper was looking to swoon her it made more sense for it to be a pet name.

I didn't have time to ask as she began running across the roof, slowing at the edge and staring out at the city. I followed, looking down though to see a small gathering of homeworlders in the small clearing between the warehouses. I stopped behind laz, sighing a bit. "Why'd you stop?"

She blinked turning back to me. "I've never been able to get out. The jump over the fence..." I looked down to see what she meant. There was a good 10 yards between the roof and the wall sorounding the warehouses.

"Its impossible..." I whispered, blinking before turning to her and using the opportunity to give her a smirk. "Unless you have booster boots." She smiled in return. I hesitantly wrapped an arm around her hip, before backing up a little. She wrapped both her arms around my neck as i took a five step running start and launched. I barely got over, but I swear I saw laz's eyes get brighter as we landed (truthfully a bit messilly, as I stumbled a bit...) in the alley on the other side. She released me and hopped a few times, laughing.

She turned back, watching me as i blushed and looked away. I didn't like the thought that I might have been staring. After all I just met the girl...

But she grabbed me hand again, her happy face a bit softer now. "I'd love to celebrate, but we're still a bit too close for any comfort." I simply nodded as we both began running. I could tell she slowed a bit to match my pace. Halfway to the hideout I slowed a bit more as i realized I could really trust her. She was flirting with me. This could be a trap... I lead her in a slightly different direction, hoping she didn't notice.

When we got a good distance away, and we climbed onto a rooftop, I sighed and leaned against the small building on the roof. "I am never accepting a scouting mission again... this was such a mess."

Laz giggled, leaning next to me. "Well then I guess you have a lot of luck, techie." I was surprised to hear her yawn. "But then again, so am I. You have no idea how long I've been trapped in hoeworlds ranks..."

We both slid down to sit, and she leaned her head onto my shoulder. My heart beat a bit faster again, startling me. But I stayed Still.

Okay that's a lie. I leaned back against her.

"What now... for you I mean? I know where I'm going... heh..." I layed my hand between us, not thinking too much about it since I was more concerned with my sudden heart rate and nervousness in general.

"I want to fight back. Not all homeworld gems are bad, you know. Yellow of course, and jasper is a dousche... But I know how it feels to be trapped there. And I met a few people in there that felt the same. I need some time, of course, but I'm not gonna leave them to suffer like I have." Her answer was firm, and I felt bad for doubting her.

"I... do you know about the Crystal gems? Besides the whole "stupid good guys" deal I'm sure they drones into you?" It made me a bit excited to think that I might get to know her better.

She laughed. "Not really. But if they're against homeworld I guess they aren't against me. But I don't think I want to be in a... "team". Not now. Not after homeworld." I was dissapointed, and my heart sank. I realized how dumb that sounded.

"It's different. It's like a family, not an army. But... I guess I couldn't force you." I looked back forward, realizing the sun was coming up. "I'd hate to force anyone. I've seen a lot of force." I closed my eyes, hating myself for saying that. "I mean... bad stuff. I've seen a lot of bad things."

She hummed, which I couldn't decide if it was in slight annoyance or some sort of agreement. But I didn't say anything either, just watching the sun for a bit, until the girl beside me shifted, standing up. "I guess you should be getting back...?"

I stood up as well, a bit quicker than if like to admit. I actually wasn't ready for the queit moment to be over. "I... I don't HAVE to... I mean... do you even have anywhere to go?"

She giggled, walking over and standing on the edge. "Oh I'll be fine. But it's good to know you worry about me~" I stepped closer, facing her. I blushed but furrowed my brows. "Of course I do... uh... I mean just... I don't want you sleeping on the streets, is all..."

She raised a brow, showing her slight disbelief. "I'll find somewhere, cutie. Promise I'll stay out of the rain and all that." She chuckled, and I felt her put her arms around my neck. Before I could ask her anything, she pressed our lips together, making me freeze in shock.

But I soon relaxed, craving the warmth and gentleness of her kiss. Just as i began to need it, she pulled away. I opened my mouth but she was already close to my ear. "Don't worry, I plan to see you again, love~" and she pushed me back slightly, causing me to stumble. I was blushing, and watched as she gave me a flirty salute and leaned back, falling from the roof. I rushed back, but when I looked down she was gone.

I was bewildered, blushing, and exhausted. But I already felt a bit sad at her presence being gone, and I backed away from the edge, running my hand through my hair as i ardently walked over to the edge closest to where the hideout would be.

I guess all I had to do now was head home.

Trapped P1

Here's p1 of my one shot for lapidot week Day 6: Superhero au.

There's 2 parts because apparently there's a text limit on text posts XD

I split the whole thing just about halfway so it should be fine now. It still sucks though.

(This may or may not turn into a whole Fic after I finish some of my others. Drowning in fics atm.)

Anyway enjoy!

Peridot POV.

This was, admittedly, not the WORST day I've had. Compared to the time I was once pushed down the stairs and nearly broke my leg, or the time I bassicly got hit by a car, or even the time I was extremely sick for three days straight.

Comfort wise, this wasn't too much harder than day to day life. But alot of people would say my situation wasn't ideal.

Hanging in mid air with ropes tied to all 4 of my appendages, facing the ground which was probably... 4-5 feet away.

So yeah. Not my best, but not my worst.

My mask had miraculasly been left on, but my boosters and power gloves had been taken. I couldn't remember how long ago I had been knocked out while on my scouting mission for the Gems, or who had taken me at all. I had been surveying a warehouse one minute, and hanging the next.

I had already figured struggling was pointless, the ropes were knotted tightly and then duct taped, as if they want to be doubly sure. And without my inventions, I had very limited power.

Though I did posses a small amount of telekinetic abilities, Garnet had insisted that I hold off on that training so I would learn to rely on more than just my abilities. Instead I was heavily trained I hand to hand combat. No particular style, but I had a good mix of karate and wrestling moves under my belt.

I closed my eyes, keeping myself calm by reminding myself that everyone slipped up. There would be a chance to cause at least minor damage to whoever unfortunately might have torture duty.

I also repeated that they were more likely to keep me alive for information, which I would give falsely. The gems had worked themselves ragged keeping Homeworld at bay, I was not about to be the person to trade throwing everything in the metaphorical trash just to live. Though I doubted they would let me go either way.

I realized I sounded grim in my own head, thinking about all the possible outcomes and was even surprised at how little I feared what they might do to me. Because unfortunately for homeworld, I had seen, and actually done, worse.

I was broken from my thoughts by a door opening and closing, and at least three pairs of feet walking toward me. I opened my eyes, relaxing my body out of instinct from training.

"This is what you dragged in? Honestly. He looks like nothing more than a glorified delivery boy." A snarky voice growled. I could see the person had on black business shoes, and despite me having previously felt no fear, my heartbeat quickened as i saw a small yellow diamond insignia on the tongue.

"He was spying, my diamond. That or acting as bait, which I highly doubt. And based on his lame "enhancements" he doesn't have any powers, either. Nothing else was found on him." I kept my snarky remark about them assuming I was a boy to myself, staying quiet and listening to the third pair of feet come around my left side. The third figure said nothing, but wore athletic sneakers and pants, coming just below their knee.

"This is a waste of time. Do what you want with him. If you somehow manage information about the Gems I will be pleasantly surprised, Jasper." Yellow, or who I assumed to be yellow based on the insignia, walked back toward the door, leaving the other two in the room. I kept my breathing slow, closing my eyes again.

"Little runts not as panicky as i expected, eh Laz?" A large hand harshly poked into my side, making me grunt and my breathing speed up. It stung, to say the least. "Cmon, give me a bit more than that, I know it hurts." The large hand repeated the jab, making me grip the ropes and clench my jaw.

"JASPER."

I froze at the third voice finally speaking. A female, smooth in tone despite the anger behind it.

"Leave the dumb blonde to me. I'll get them to talk one way or another. Poking them like a pig isn't gonna do anything but make it shut up. Don't you have a bag to go punch instead?" Surprisingly I felt calmer as she spoke. It was soft but also firm? Though I was a bit nervous about what a reserved person would have in mind about torture.

"Whatever. But we're still gonna meet up later for dinner, right~?" The harsh voice turned strangely and sickeningly sweet, making me want to throw up. What a twisted person this jasper must be.

But the girl answered back just as sweet. She took a step closer to me though, just about next to my head. "Of course~ wouldn't miss it." Jasper gave a small humph of content, as his footsteps faded back to the door as well. Nothing happened for a second after the door closed, but I felt this... what did jasper call her? Laz? Gently slide her fingertips over my cheek, saying nothing. I shivered at the touch, gripping the rope again.

But the soft, sweet touch didn't last long.

Suddenly her hand slid up into my hair and jerked my head up, forcing me to look into a pair of electric blue eyes, covered in a black and matching blue mask. I kept my face straight, meeting her eyes and forcing myself to not shake like a coward against the harsh but strikingly beuatiful gaze.

"You're far from home, gem." She said softly, lessening her grip only slightly as her other hand slid onto my cheek. "Its rare for us to have one of you like this. YD thinks you're nothing, but I know better. Despite her menacing tone, she gave a smile, rubbing her thumb on my cheek. "All gems have a secret. I look forward to knowing yours, cutie~" I clenched my jaw and couldn't suppress a shiver. How could this girl sound so... inviting, but evil at the same time?

She released my head, but I held it up to look at her, letting out a shaky breath as she pulled a blade from her back. "But this isn't the place, is it?" She walked around me as i stiffened, closing my eyes and preparing for the blade to strike or cut me. But there was a pause.

And then and slight whizz noise, as my legs dropped. I squeaked, my feet hitting the ground roughly and my hands taking more weight then before. I turned my head, watching her walk back around me slowly. Our eyes met again. But this time her eyes seemed more serious.

I growled, pulling on the rope. "I'm not talking. Might as well listen to your leader and just kill me." I held my chin up despite my urge to cripple under the girls gaze.

"Leader?" She chuckled a bit, grabbing my face with one hand and pulling me close to her own. "I'm not some pet. I don't listen to anyone." I blushed at the closeness, and her obvious glance at my lips. As she pulled back there was another whizz sound, and I fell onto my knees, my arms free.

"Wha..." she crouched and slapped her hand over my mouth, smirking. "I've been looking for an escape buddy. Thank the stars I was assigned to you." Her voice sounded calmer, and she chuckled again. But more lightheartedly. "Sorry if i spooked you, love~. Couldnt resist a bit of teasing." She stood back up as i gawked at her.

"I... what?" I was honestly confused. This girl wasn't going to torture My idiotic ass until I spilled? Or kill me, as her diamond had requested?

She rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand, pulling me back up to stand. "We're leaving. Unless youd rather me leave you here to fight off jasper." She smirked again though, intertwining our fingers. "I think I'm the preferable choice here."
