Steven Universe Male Gem Story: Project Red Diamond (Oc X Lapis Lazuli)

Chapter 3: First day of School

Ze-Ro left the house to see that the whole settlement was littered with Gems.

The complex plan the gems are cooking up by pretending to care for the planet baffled Ze-Ro.

Steven walked over to Ze-Ro.

Steven: Hey Ze-Ro, how'd you sleep?

Ze-Ro: I don't need sleep. Lets just get this over with.

Steven: Oh, eager to learn I see. Don't worry, I have scheduled the entire day dedicated to make you feel welcome and for you to have a taste of what this school can offer you.

Steven took Ze-Ro to his first class, making morps.

Steven: Here, we have gems express themselves using morps.

Ze-Ro saw gems painting and making clay sculptures. Their were even humans in the mix.

Ze-Ro: "Morps"? I think you mean art.

Steven: Well the gems like morps better, so we just stick with it.

Ze-Ro: Ah, so the gems cold hard grip on this planet expands to even then changing your words.

Steven: No! The gems and humans here are equals. Here, try playing with this clay.

Steven quickly opened and closed a hole in the bubble and threw in some red clay.

But no one knew that Ze-Ro was so tense that he involuntarily creates a lot of heat. The clay dried up in an instant.

Steven: Oh, well, that's okay, we can try something else.

Ze-Ro felt stares from all of the gems. Him being outside with only a bubble shield around him, only reminded him of his nightmare, it was almost a reality.

They next went to a class dedicated to cooking. Some gems were making a beef stew.

Steven opened a hole in his bubble so he could smell the stew. He didn't want to admit it, but it did smell delicious.

Steven: Well? Smells great doesn't it? Y'know, you are free to try it.

Ze-Ro: And get poisoned or drugged? No thank you.

Steven: Oh come on you haven't eaten since yesterday. You must be starving.

Ze-Ro: Thanks to my gem, I can go by weeks without food. Besides, I haven't earned such a meal.

Steven: "earn"? Oh boy...

Ze-Ro: Well, Now what?

Steven: Well you're in the class, try to be apart of it.

Ze-Ro saw gems and humans cooking.

Ze-Ro: Ah, is this the place that supplies food to your soldiers?

Steven: No, they do it for fun.

Ze-Ro: Having the empire rely on the cooks is no fun matter, it is for those who take cooking seriously and dedicate themselves to feeding the Empire.

Steven: Well, here, it's for fun.

Ze-Ro: Well what do you expect me to cook while in this bubble?

Steven snapped his fingers and expanded the bubble to surround a free cooking station.

Ze-Ro launched a little with the sudden change in surroundings. He tried his best to play it off.

Ze-Ro: What now.

Steven: You have a counter full of ingredients, try cooking something.

Ze-Ro decided to play along.

He grabbed and egg, but the egg exploded and the insides landed on the counter and immediately cooked.
