Steven Universe: The Diamond Legacy

Interlude: Two Hearts Beat As One

Whenever I imagined my first kiss , I'd think it would be on a sweet date with a nerdy human or a cute Gem. Though in honesty I believed it wouldn't happen in years, if it did at all. I wasn't the most popular kid in school and most Gems would date me more because of my famous family. I felt I had a better shot at visiting Homeworld.

When it really happened, it blew my expectations away. Better than anything I ever expected. Selene was warm like the sun, her light soaked into my body and soul, her gem glowed against my chest, thrumming to the beat of my heart. Her lips soft but firm with a sweetness I couldn't describe. I felt she was truly part of me in that moment in time, and we were one.

Our lips parted only from my complete shock. "Nora honey." Selene stroked the hair from my face. "You're shaking like a leaf."

"S-sorry." I stammered stars enlarged in my pupils and my cheeks. "I just....can't believe that happened!"

Her beautiful face twisted in regret. "Dear stars.." She said hushed. "That was too impulsive of me. I am so sorry Nora, I don't know what I was thinking! I never meant to make you  uncomfortable."

"Don't ever apologize for that!" I said with puffy cheeks. "That was amazing. Totally amazing. It's the stuff of every teenage girl's dream, to be kissed by their crush."

Selene blushed in dark silver. "You've... had feelings for me?"

"Yes." I said, feeling the blush like a warm fire. "For a while now. I didn't know if it was the magical Gem bond or what. It was very confusing ."

"I see." Selene chuckled. "Let me clear things up, if you allow me." I rapidly nodded  and Selene quickly pecked me on the lips.

Sweet Celestials.

"I can really get used to this." I blurted out, causing Selene to laugh. "You are just too adorable." She wrapped  her arms around me, nuzzling my cheek when I pulled her in. I nestled my forehead against hers, taking in her warmth and her light. 

I never wanted this moment to end, I don't think I've ever been this happy in my whole life.

"We should go." Selene murmured. "Our friends will wonder why we're gone for so long."

"No lets, stay." I persisted. "I don't want to leave yet."

"There will be more moments like this Nora."

"Yeah, but never this moment again."

We walked together back to the caves a few minutes after. Holding each other's hands and ready to take on the challenge ahead together as one.

Author's note: I might write the above song in later with Selene singing about Nora. Listening to it I can't help but think that's what's going on in her head. Hope you all enjoyed this lovey fluff! The Genesis chapter should be up soon but I don't know if I'll be able to publish it in time for the anniversary of the series finale. Still it will be out the anniversary month! Thanks for reading!

Somewhere not pictured Garnet is grinning with pure glee. 

I wonder how Steven will react.
