Steven Universe x Male Gem Reader

Chapter 13: There is no plan

(No ones POV)

It was night time and the atmosphere inside Steven's house was a bit distressing. However, the reason behind this was understandable after everything that happened.
In a single night the Crystal Gems got attacked by Homeworld, got captured and almost died in a crash landing against the beach. Not to mention that they were now giving shelter to one of their oldest enemies and his personal Pearl.
The only two members of the team that were relatively calm about this whole situation were Amethyst and Steven. Amethyst had the luck to not experience the gem war, unlike Garnet or Pearl. So she only knew the "infernal gem" through stories told to her by the other gems. Steven, in the other hand, barely knew anything about you. The other gems warned him about how dangerous you were. But you gaved Steven a bit of a mixed reception with your actions so far. It was hard for the little guy to understand your true nature.

Steven: Soooo...

Steven was trying to think of some way to make the mood a bit less tense but nothing came to mind. 

Ash: ...

The gems were watching Ash from the kitchen, who was sitting on the couch while holding your gem between her hands. She was hugging your gem tightly against her chest in silence, mentally praying that you will be able to recover soon. 

Steven: How long does it take him to come back...?

Steven asked while rubbing the back of his head. 

Ash: I... I don't know...

Ash answered while not even looking up. 

Steven: You don't know?

Ash: Master Onyx was never forced to give up his physical form because of damage in the past...

Ash said while taking a good look at your gem. She was searching for any sign of a crack or even a single scratch. She knew that you were fine since your gem didn't took any damage. But she wanted to make sure many times to convince herself that you'll be okay after that backstab move that Jasper pulled off on you.
Meanwhile, the other gems looked at each other in concern. They already lost in a fight against you and it wasn't very motivational to hear that the only time you got poofed back into your gem was because of a cheap shot. 

Pearl: Garnet, I don't like this...

Pearl said to Garnet while glaring at Ash.

Pearl: We should at least bubble them now that we can.

Pearl said while turning to Garnet. But to her surprise, Garnet did not said a single thing. She was standing there with her arms crossed.

Pearl: Garnet...? What's on your mind?

Garnet let out a sigh before taking off ger glasses. She turned to Pearl and placed both of her hands on top of Pearl's shoulders.

Garnet: Pearl... He helped Steven back at the ship... And Ash helped us too. 

Pearl: After they tried to kill us! Right, Amethyst?

Pearl turned to Amethyst in hopes of getting some backup. However, the answer Pearl got was not what she wanted to hear.

Amethyst: I don't know P... We would still be trapped in that prison if it wasn't because of Ash. And I don't like to admit it but I still remember how Onyx lied to Peridot about us when we saw him on the portals.

Pearl: Amethyst... 

Pearl couldn't believe that both Garnet and Amethyst were siding against her in this situation. This made Pearl very upset to the point where she abruptly shoved Garnet's arms off from her.
