"Hey Amethyst? Mind if I ask you something?" Steven asked as he sat next to his Gem sister as she aplloed a coat of lipstick while looking into a compact mirror, a habit that always confused the hybrid.
Sure one could argue that Amethyst was the most "human" out of her, Garnet and Pearl due to being made on Earth, but while most habits she exhibited were easy enough to explain, her use of makeup was one that Steven was always confused about.
"Sure, Steven. Go ahead. What's on your mind?" Amethyst asked, closing the compact mirror with a *snap* as Steven sighed and asked.
"Well. I know you do more "human" things than Garnet or Pearl and while I can understand the eating and using the bathroom, I never understood why you wear makeup. That's the one thing that's always confused me." The hybrid said as Amethyst just looked at him for a moment before bursting into laughter!
"Hahaha! Really?!? Out of all the things I do that throws you off, me wearing makeup is what does it the most?!? Oh Steven, you really are too pure for this world!!" The Purple Gem laughed as Steven blushed.
"Amethyst, I'm serious!" The hybrid replied as Amethyst ceased her laughter enough to calm her brother down.
"Easy there, Steven. It's just that...well it caught me off guard. I mean, you have a girlfriend. Connie wears makeup sometimes, doesn't she? It's just....kinda cute to see you be such a....well...a boy." The Purple Gem said with a smile as Steven looked annoyed.
"Don't make fun of me for being curious, OK?" The hybrid replied.
"Nah. I'm saving my jokes for when you get caught after being curious enough to do a Panty Raid with some other guys." Amethyst replied with a chuckle.
"A what raid?" Steven asked in pure confusion as Amethyst changed the subject and decided to just tell him straight.
"Well I wear makeup for a few reasons. First, because I just enjoy it. Yeah I'm a Gem but I gotta look good while kicking butt, don't I?" She asked as Steven smiled.
"Yeah. You always look good to me, though. With or without makeup." The hybrid said as Amethyst giggled.
"Aw you sweetie. Let me finish before you make me blush. Anyway, another reason is just...well I may not be interested in anyone romantically right now but who knows what the future holds, y'know? I may come across the right one and I want to look good when I do." She explained as Steven gasped.
"So you may fall in love soon? I can't wait!" The hybrid said as Amethyst laughed.
"Well whoever it is better treat you and the others as well as they treat me. No matter what happens with me in that area, you all are always going to be first in my mind." She said as Steven smiled.
"That's great. Any other reasons?" He asked as Amethyst chuckled as she could hear Pearl and Garnet coming back.
"Wellll....there is one more reason. And it's probably why I like wearing makeup the most." She said as Steven looked at her.
"What is it?" He asked....
*MWWWWAHHH!*
Just as Amethyst planted a huge kiss on his cheek, leaving a purple kissmark on his face just as Pearl and Garnet came in!
"Oh my. I guess this is what happens when we leave you two alone, hmm?" Garnet said as she and Pearl laughed.
"Gah! Amethyst!" Steven exclaimed while blushing furiously!
Yet again, he was the butt of Amethyst's prank.
