Spinel hadn't initially noticed that he had sat near her. She only noticed when she did the slightest turn of the head to look at him with the very edge of her vision. She fully turned to look at him when she had noticed him sitting.

When he spoke, she tried to make it look like she was listening. Unfortunately, she wasn't very good at that. Thinking about herself not actually listening made her feel worse, which in turn made her focus even less. It was an endless cycle.

She couldn't help but feel this awful feeling, deep in her being, that he hated her. That he was doing this for some reason other than actually caring for her safety. She tried to deny it, though, as she saw the ways he was trying. Trying so, so hard to actually make her feel better. It was only slightly working.

But she was caught off guard when he asked a question. She only half listened, so she gave a sort of dazed, "Um, sure." She tried to show him a smile.

Something about a road trip. She heard something about a lion, too, so she glanced at Lion, assuming he was what they'd be riding. ...y'know, if that was what Steven had said about a road trip.

She was already feeling so mixed up. She'd gotten lost in a desert, after all. It was hard to say much, but she tried to give him something to reply to, rather than being some mute hermit.

"I, uh, remember ridin' him before. Th-The lion, I mean. When I was..."

Likeable?

"...reset and all. Uh... those donuts were pretty good! I kinda wanna try more Earth food sometime, maybe. Maybe when the Diamonds give me a lil break from..."

Being their replacement for Pink?

"...all their affection we can hang out."

( you tried )‌:

Having averted her gaze, Spinel made a quiet squeak as she heard both Steven coming closer and him talking to her.

“U-Uh…” she stuttered out, trying to find her words as quickly as she could. With a sigh, she pushed out, “I’m… fine.”

She gave another sigh, settling in and laying against the rock. However, she felt too embarrassed to admit her mistakes.

She had meant to go to Pink Diamond’s palanquin. She had done it on impulse, of course, not planning it, like… well, other mistakes she had made. As soon as Pink Pearl told her about it, she started making her way there, once the pearl had left. They had become friends by then, but Spinel worried that once (or, if) she returned, she would want to stop associating with her. The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

What if Steven was the same way, too? Of course, it was hard to tell, with the way he was approaching. He was trying to calm her, but it felt like alarms were going off in her mind, while she scrambled for something to say to explain herself.

“I-I… wanted to explore, is all,” she lied. She closed her mouth and bit her tongue, looking away again. With her lying like this, he probably wouldn’t trust her at all…

          Having to force oneself to say that they’re okay is a guaranteed sign that they’re not. Steven could tell from a mile away that there was something wrong here, without even seeing the tears down her face. “Yeah?” It was still a soothing tone, reminiscent of familial concepts that the teen, unfortunately, never got the chance to fully experience. But it was just how he was; he wanted to be a caring figure to people. Not necessarily a mother figure, of course, but more like…a doting brother.

          He wanted to sit down next to her, against the rock, but there was hardly any room there for Spinel, yet alone another figure. So, criss-crossed like a preschooler waiting for class to start, he sat down in the sand as close to her as he comfortably could. “This place is pretty big, huh?” A chuckle slipped out, leaving the smile on his face. It suited him more that way, anyway. “Without Lion, I dunno what I would’ve done. And I found him here! Though…” His eyes shift to the side for a brief moment. “It was more like he found me here, but… Whatever, heh.” Cue a grunting Lion in the background.

          Gently, but slowly, he scooted a bit closer to her. He then held a hand out to her, palm up, inviting her to place one of hers on top of his. “I wouldn’t have found you without him. Trying to navigate this world by yourself is already hard, so havin’ him around is a huge help with that ‘kinda stuff. Plus, it’s more fun to travel with friends. A road trip calls for tons of fun! Wacky inside jokes, funny pictures, but the best part? All the good memories you make.”

          “So? Whaddya say? Wanna have a lil’ road trip on the back of a lion?”

( sad owo hours )‌:

Hearing her own name be called, Spinel, wide-eyed, spun around to see Steven in the distance. She hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes. If he saw her like this, especially after running away like that, and getting lost, she’d die of embarrassment.

Spinel ducked behind a rock. Hiding, something she now often did. She was shameful for what she’d done; she was sure that Steven was still mad at her, and sometimes, being with the diamonds didn’t exactly help. The only person who really understood was Pink Pearl, but now, Spinel had gone and run away, so she probably mistrusted her now.

Worries flashed through her mind as she hid. This was a stupid hiding place, anyway; she had barely any cover, plus she was, like, bright pink. Despite how ridiculous it was, Spinel shamefully did her best to duck away from Steven’s gaze.

          There weren’t that many places one could hide in the middle of a desert, first off. Not to mention the pink against the beige was obvious. Steven, however, wasn’t the one to spot the Gem in question; it was Lion. The teen was too busy clinging to the mane to notice the sudden shift in direction.

          But once he saw her, he saw her. A breathy “Spinel…” barely made its way out of his mouth, heavily laced with the relief one would only feel at the end of a long journey. He was glad, even grateful to have found her at all. He was beginning to think he’d have to head back home and find Garnet, hoping her future vision would find Spinel in good health.

          “…” She was still distrusting of him. He could feel it. It hurt, sure, but there had to be a reason for her to still be like this. Was she not happy with the Diamonds? Is that why she ran away? There’s so much here that he can’t figure out how to understand. Would it have been better for her to stay on Earth? Stay in Little Homeworld? What could he have done differently?

          Once Lion came to a halt as close as he could get, Steven gave his mane a thankful pat before carefully sliding off to the sand below. “Spinel…?” He wanted to stay as calm as possible, give her the impression that he was here out of his own free will. Which was true, though. The Diamonds didn’t ask him to help find Spinel; that was his own doing. Heck, if Pearl and the others knew where he was right now, if his dad knew where he was right now, he’d have quite the lecture.

          “Are you okay? You’re not…hurt or anything, right?”

          The sound of a warp could be heard, if one was close by in the beach house. Steven had been visiting the Diamonds that morning by chance — partially out of curiosity and concern, having not seen or spoken to White Diamond’s Pearl since he’d freed her from her control — when they’d dropped the biggest bombshell on his heart: Spinel had been missing since the start of the week. And they chose to not tell him once it had happened?! He assumed they had their reasons for not wanting to worry him (he greatly hoped it meant they were trying to solve this without his help), but it was Friday now. That’s about five days of no contact from Spinel. Steven had every right to be in hysterics.

          And he was, sprinting to his room to gather any necessities he may need to go searching for her. What did he need? His phone, for sure, but maybe his wallet? Some water? Goodness, this backpack was going to be mad heavy.

          Think, Steven. Think… Where could she have gone? He didn’t even get the chance to talk to the Pearl in question, but Blue Diamond’s Pearl had briefly mentioned that there was talk between the two pink Gems about remnants of Pink. He was already heading to Lion down by the sand with the intent to travel across countries, but there were loads of places he could be checking for her. “Can you help me sniff out Spinel, buddy?!” he asked his fluffy companion, an obvious strain in his voice as he held back the anxiety this all brought on. Sure, he definitely should be getting more help with this than just himself and Lion, but grabbing the rest of the Crystal Gems was far from the front of his mind. He had to find Spinel, and he had to find her now.

          The second Lion nodded in approval, the worried teen hopped on the back of his friend. With a shaky ruffle of his mane, Lion roared open a portal, hopping through shortly after.

          It didn’t take long to lose track of how long they’d been searching; the constant change in time zones as they zoomed through familiar continents quickly became a blur into one consecutive passage of time. It was still kind of morning, right? Or was it the evening by now? Whichever it was, he was mentally exhausted. The Diamonds, even, couldn’t keep watch over Spinel as she healed herself. It was really up to him to fix this, huh? He thought everything was under control! Everything was on the path to healing now!

          “— SPINEL !!”

          But it wasn’t. Even after everything that happened between the two of them, she still couldn’t trust him. She still couldn’t lean on him for support. She still would rather opt to suffer in silence. And Steven wasn’t going to let her torture herself like this.
