Steven Universe Of The Creek

Chapter 2 A Gem And The Williams Family

Steven and Bernard parked their cars in the driveway of William's house. Upon exiting both vehicles, Steven found the building itself ordinary to be placed in a neighborhood like any other. "My friends and girlfriend have texted me they're gonna come over in about three hours." Bernard said, shutting the car door.

"I want to point out that...I don't have friends similar to yours." Steven walked up to Bernard. "As in...humans of my current age."

"What, you're more of an indoor person?"

"I'm an outdoor person actually."

"Have you gained some social skills at least?"

"Yes I have."

Bernard can only assume that Steven is the type of person who feels and stays neutral in most situations. Unfortunately for him, he just met him, not even an hour ago. "What will my parents think of this?" He said to himself, despite Steven hearing him. He walked up to the front door while inserting his key to the door lock. "I'm home!"

Soon enough his parents, Duane and Nicole head out of the living room after watching television. "Is the milk still fresh?" Duane wondered.

"Yes it is." Just when Bernard took off his shoes, his parents witnessed a visitor stepping foot in their house. They're fully aware of the many friends Barnard had since they met them from time to time, but not a new friend, especially out of town.

"Who's your new friend?" Nicole pointing at Steven.

"He's Steven Universe, but he's not my friend." Barnard replied. "I met him at the gas station."

Steven took a deep breath, with the many times he met several families during his trip, he's prepared for what the Williams are any different. "I'm gonna be in the neighborhood for a few days. I'm mostly a tourist."

"Oh so you want to know Herkleton huh?" Duane admires Steven's thinking.

"Out of all the families you decided to come to, you just picked the best one." Nicole smiled. "We know this neighborhood inside and out."

"You don't say." Steven said while taking out the dolphin film from his bag. "I picked a film for Bernard's friends to watch tonight."

"I'm mostly biased at first, but I'm giving this a shot." Bernard walked past his parents. "Just to point out, have my brother and sister know he's..." He then whispered into their ears. "...neutral with relationships."

This made Steven slightly annoyed with the many times his encounters almost became awkward. "I have friends but the thing is, my life is way more personal, can you please understand that? That's all I'm asking." As he calmed himself down, he soon went back to being in a positive mood.

"Steven, families are always personal." Bernard signed. "Can you at least tell us one thing about your family that's different from any?"

"Bernard, get in the kitchen." Nicole ordered. "If he doesn't want to express his family's life, don't question it."

"Just put the milk in the fridge." Duane added.

Bernard backed away from his parents as he put the milk in the fridge. Soon enough, Steven heads into the living room. The pictures of the Williams family is what his curiosity needs. "You have a younger sister too?" He wondered.

"Yes, she's upstairs in her room." Bernard answered. "Her name is Jessica."

"Is it okay if she can come down to meet me?"

"Sure, but once my friends arrive, she's gonna be heading back upstairs, same goes to my brother."

When Steven looked at the family picture again, his attention was on Bernard's brother. Unfortunately unlike his sister, it didn't phase him in the slightest. "Who's your brother?"
