Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

The Message

[Open Beach]

(Greg is playing his guitar to You and Steven, with his van parked outside the Crystal Temple.)

Steven: *cheers* That sounded great!

Greg: Oh thanks! I'm thinking about calling it "Water Witch".

Y/N: Sweet Name

Greg: And check this out, I can add some vocal distortion too. (Greg pulls down a microphone from the ceiling of the van, adjusts a control panel and speaks into the microphone, distorting his voice into a robotic one.) Steven, your dad's a robot now. And now that I'm a robot, things will be better and colder. Please forgive me for being an amazing machine.

Steven: I can't stay mad at my robo-dad. Where's all this awesome energy coming from?

Greg Actually, I was inspired to make some new songs after the ocean got sucked up into space a while back. I even drew up some freaky album artwork.

(Greg shows You and Steven his drawing of his album cover, titled "Water Witch".)

Y/N: Hmm, It looks like... Lapis Lazuli.

Greg: *takes the drawing back* Easy with the tender touches, don't want it to get all smudged. *Turns to Steven* Here, plug this up and help your old man work out this witchy jam. *hands Steven an electric guitar*

Steven: Yeah! Let's... Jam!

(Steven strums the electric guitar but it makes no sound.)

Steven: Uh? Where my jams at?

Greg: I don't think it's plugged in.

Steven: Ah ha!

(Steven plugs the electric guitar into the TV in Greg's van)

Steven: All right, here we go. Let's ... jam!

(Steven strums the guitar again, but it still makes no sound.)

Steven: Uh... hmm. *strums it again* Jam!

(No sound is made.)

Steven: Hmm... Jaaaam!

(Steven repeatedly strum the guitar, but still no sound.)

Greg: Oh, sorry, that's just the TV. *points to the TV* See, you plugged into the video jack, but were making audio here. Don't you know video killed the audio star?

Steven: *looks around in confusion* I have no idea what you are talking about.

Greg: That's okay, you leave the details to me. When you're a one-man band you got to know how to do it all lyrics, graphic design, forum moderation, but for me it was all about the audio.

Steven: What a lovely poem.

Greg: Ok, we need a catchy hook! Something like- *starts playing his guitar and singing* ♫ Well she's a riptide queen and she's super mean-

Y/N: Woah, Hang on. Lapis was not mean, she was, Lost, Just trying to get home Y'know. 

Steven: Y/N's Right, How 'bout this instead?

(Steven starts to sing "Lapis Lazuli" while playing his electric guitar.)

(Steven stops singing and the flashback ends, when a strange loud noise startles him.)

Steven: Uh, what the heck is that?!

Greg: It must be some kind of weird feedback!

(Greg tunes his audio keyboard, unsuccessfully removing the noise.)
