Spinel x Reader One-Shots

Auburn Cycle

"WOOHOO!!!"

Spinel joyfully shouted out with her bubbly laughter following behind. Her twin pigtails ruffled wildly in the forced wind and her noodle like arms falling behind as well.

"Spinel! Slow down!" Your voice called to gem who is also more than a few yards away after descending the mountain roads. Luckily, this road was made for people to bike or hike for fun. "Bicycles can only go a certain speed!"

The handlebar shook at the lack of contact from Spinel's hands, but she grabbed it before it could get more violent. "You worry too much!!! I've got it!" She winks back at you.

That caused you to roll your eyes and you began watching as Spinel stood up to move her bicycle side to side. You couldn't see, but you can tell her smile was one of full happiness. Freedom.

Until she gets careless....

"SPINEL!!!"

The gem opened her eyes and panicked at the very sharp turn coming up. Her fingers reach for the brakes.

"Don't pull the breaks!!!"

It is more dangerous if she were to pull the brakes at the speed she held on the bicycle. You had told her that before, but it's reasonable that anyone would automatically reach for it in panic. Now, the action caused the bike to flip and launched Spinel through a thick group of trees.

You were glad you had held your speed to a minimum as you skid your bike to a stop with ease. Parting the leaves, you notice there's a big pond and a small part of the surface was bubbling.

Suddenly, Spinel popped up and spouts out a stream of water from her mouth. A tiny fish had also fell out of her mouth. Her expression turned to comical shame, a faint blush dusting her cheeks.

"Oh, thank the heavens you're a gem." You say with relief.

It didn't take long for her to phase the water off her form and the two of you are now back on the road. Although, this time your strolling with your bicycles to your sides.

"That was so embarrassing." Spinel complained.

You snickered, "I told you to be careful."

Spinel puffs her cheeks and became defensive, "No, you didn't! You said slow down! There's a difference, (Y/n)."

With a gentle and playful nudge, you just smile it off, "Either way. I'm just so glad you didn't get hurt."

Her magenta eyes caught sight of your close eyed smile which made her gem swell with happiness. "It's gonna take a lot more than small bicycle crash to take me down." She boasts.

You hum in response and stop to mount your bike, "Yeah. I bet that poor fish was so thankful that you saved it from drowning." With that said, you immediately pedal away in laughter.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Spinel began to pedal behind with a bright embarrassed face.

"You can't stay mad at me for long!" You grin at her as she catches up and you're riding beside each other. A thought crossed your mind at how a gem like herself had been complaining earlier that day and she said that riding a bicycle is boring. Maybe it's because there had been a tiny bit of adventure while heading up the mountain.

Why was it a tiny adventure?

Well, it had been funny and worrisome when teaching the gem how to ride a bicycle, but she handled it faster than you thought. Plus when you two stopped at an old campsite to rest, a bear had been roaming around. Of course, you panicked and ran, this also made Spinel run with you.
