A Cut Above The Rest (Steven Universe Series x Reader)

Together Breakfast

(A/n: Forgot to mention. I'm not including episodes that don't add anything to the story. They will still happen, just offscreen since they we won't learn anything about Y/n, their history, or something new. That out of the way, I hope you enjoy)

We open with Steven in the Beach House. He opens the windows to watch the sunrise, "Everyone's out. Guess I'm makin' us breakfast."

Montage sequence of Steven rummaging his kitchen and making breakfast, starting with a stack of waffles with lots of syrup on them. Steven knocks on temple door, "Y/n, Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst? Is anyone home (turns around with a determined look on his face) Hm!"

Steven then microwaves some popcorn and dumps them over the waffles. Cuts to Steven sitting in front of the Warp Pad, "One, two, three, warp in! (falls over to his side and sighs) I guess they're still out saving the world."

Steven then sprays a mountain of whipped cream on top of the waffles. Steven looks at the breakfast he just made, "Look at you, you are out of control! (opens the front door of the house) Pearl? Garnet?! (goes back inside)

He keeps trying to improve the breakfast, Steven takes a strawberry and carefully places it on top of the whipped cream. He then lifts the breakfast up in triumph. "It's done! (sets it down on the kitchen, sighs, and flops next to the breakfast) That thing's too good for me to eat alone. It's a... 'Together Breakfast'"

The Warp Pad suddenly beamed in, startling Steven. Garnet then appears from the warp stream, carrying a scroll in her hand, "Ah, Garnet, perfect!"

Steven picks up the Together Breakfast, "Check it out! It's not exactly healthy, but it's in a stack, so I guess you could say, it's a... balanced breakfast?"

Steven strains a smile at his own joke, trying to get a reaction from Garnet, but she didn't, "You know, like I made us all breakfast. I thought we could eat together. Like, like best buds!"

"I can't stay. There's business to attend to inside the temple." Garnet shines her gems at the Temple Gate and it opens.

"Aw, business? Like what?" Steven sets the Together Breakfast on the kitchen counter.

"I have to burn this." Garnet unfurls the scroll, revealing strange mystic symbols, as ominous whispers are heard.

"Cool!" Steven takes a photo of the scroll with his smartphone, and Garnet snatches it away, "Ah!"

"I have to burn this, too." Garnet leaves into the temple and the Temple Gate closes behind her.

Steven runs up to the gate, "No, my apps! Door! (lifts his shirt and presses his gem against it) Open, door! (Nothing happens.) Aw, you never work when I need it."

Steven walks away dejected. Just then, a purple police bursts in through the front door of the house, wielding a water gun, "Dumb Police! Uhhh, you're dumb! (shoots the water gun)"

Steven notices the water gun is aimed at the Together Breakfast and jumped in front of it in slow motion, "Nooooooo! (gets squirted on his chest)"

The purple police starts laughing and his head shapeshifts, revealing to be Amethyst all this time. "Oh man, I totally got you! You should've seen the look on your face!"

"Aw, I knew it was you." Steven gets up and walks towards his closet.

Amethyst asked, "Pfft, how?"

Steven changes into a new dry shirt, "Because that's a water gun. And I'm not dumb."
