Steven Universe: Time Split

Chapter 7: Renovations

Y/n's eyes slowly opened as he lay on the bed in the lighthouse. It was more comfortable than sleeping in the van, that much was certain.

With a groan, he sat up, trying to get his bearings as he brought his tired body back to full power. "Pair, have we got any plans today?" He asked, finally conscious after that great night's sleep.

Pair beeped in his usual tone as he sat next to his master's armour. "Hmm ... well, since we aren't doing anything, why don't we renovation the downstairs? We could put it to use as a workshop." Y/n stood up and stretched all the muscles he could, trying to wake up his entire body.

Pair beeped in agreement. "Right, let me just get myself sorted before I head out." Y/n decided to head up the stairs so he could have a shower. The shower was larger than he expected, for a lighthouse anyway.

Either way, he was quick to shower off, so he could feel fresh. Completing the rest of his usual morning routine, Y/n walked back into the main room and put some bread in the toaster, wanting to have something for breakfast before he goes out to buy things for his workshop.

"I need to figure out what to get ... any ideas Pair?" Y/n said as he buttered the toast that popped out, taking a bite out of a slice. Pair had moved closer to Y/n, beeping some suggestions at him, everything a usual workshop should include.

"Hmm, not bad ideas ... I should have enough money from doing those handyman jobs that I can buy a good selection of tools ... better than the ones I have now." Finishing the pieces of toast he made, and cleaning off the plate.

Humming in satisfaction, he went over to finish getting dressed, throwing on whatever was there.

"Alright, I'm ready to go. I shouldn't be too long, keep an eye on the lighthouse." Y/n said, as he grabbed his backpack and threw it around his shoulders, finally ready for a shopping spree.

Y/n walked down the spiral staircase and out the front door, locking it. He then moved towards his van which was parked down the hill as he didn't want to ruin the grass, it seemed to had life around the lighthouse.

The small journey came to an end when he reached the Maroon coloured van, he got in and started her up. The van whirled to life as he began driving towards the nearest hardware store, luckily, it was relatively close by and within the boundaries of the town.

Whether it would have anything useful to him, he didn't know but it was worth a shot. It didn't take Y/n long for him to reach the hardware store, especially with the van, but once he parked up, Y/n walked in and started browsing.

"Lets see here ..." He mumbled to himself as he looked through the various tools and equipment that he would need. Realising that he needed a basket to carry all of the stuff he was going to buy, he quickly went back to the front of the store and picked one up, just as quick to resume his browsing.

After a few moments, he had already picked out a bunch of things he desperately needed. With a few moments later, the basket was almost bursting with an array of items destined to help Y/n improve the lighthouse, his weapons and even armour.

"This should do it." Y/n said confidently as he walked over to the self-checkout, scanning all the items which ranged from a drill with drill bits to metal plates, with the total cost coming to just under 100-dollars.

With a few grumbles, Y/n pulled out the money and paid for the tools, placing them into a few bags and took them out of the shop. Y/n made his way to the van, opening the back doors and placing the stuff inside, something felt off though, he couldn't put his finger on it, but it felt like he was being watched.

Y/n quickly turned around, not seeing anyone but definitely felt like someone was watching. Shrugging he made his way back into the van, starting it up and driving in the direction of the lighthouse, still, on the ride home, he felt off. Someone or something was following him.
