Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Alone Together

(The Gems are teaching Steven how to dance, You simply watch in the background)

Pearl: *snaps her fingers* A 5-6-7-8!

(Steven and Amethyst try to dance in unison. Garnet walks in to observe.)

Pearl: Synchronize! *still snapping fingers*

(Amethyst tries to lift Steven, but she drops him and he falls. They both start laughing.)

Pearl: *irritated* Be serious!

(You go up to Pearl and tap on her shoulder)

Y/N: So this fusion thing, What's it about, the low down, The big deally-o

Pearl: Well Y/N, Fusion is when we combine into a much bigger and powerful gem, that is when situations get to dire of course

Y/N: Mm-Hmm, And So anything else I can learn about fusion?

Pearl: Well, Sometimes our height is increased, Our weapons combine to make newer ones and we may or may not gain an extra pair of limbs

Y/N: *Gasp* Man That sounds wicked

(Steven and Amethyst continue dancing while Pearl snaps her finger in rhythm. Amethyst successfully lifts Steven, but they both start laughing again. Pearl stops snapping and frowns in annoyance. She then takes over and begins to demonstrate with Garnet next.)

Pearl: Pay attention now, Steven.

(Pearl and Garnet perform a ballroom dance, with Garnet twirling and lifting Pearl around. Garnet then pins Pearl against a wall, both her hands on either side of Pearl's head, as Pearl slightly blushes.)

Y/N: Wish a girl was like that with me

Pearl: *turns at Steven* See? *beckoning gesture*

Steven: *stares at Pearl wide-eyed for a second, but then looks determined* Hmm.

(Steven tries to dance with Pearl and copy Garnet's moves. Garnet helps him with some of the poses, as he is too short. Pearl smiles hesitantly and looks at Garnet as the short Steven pins her against the wall.)

(Steven and Amethyst dance together next, doing a dance similar to the "Macarena". Steven follows pretty well but is not as limber and flexible as Amethyst.)

(Steven tries dancing with Garnet next, copying her dance, but cannot keep up with the speed of her hand movements.)

(Steven then tries a ballet duet with Pearl. Pearl accidentally hits him in the face with her leg since he is too short, causing him to fall on the ground, and looks at him apologetically.)

(The Gems then try to dance in unison with Steven. They snap their fingers in rhythm; Steven is a bit off beat. The Gems each put one foot forward; Steven puts forward his hand. The Gems run in unison and exit stage right; Steven runs in the wrong way, quickly turns around and tries to catch up with them. The Gems slide, leap up, and pose in midair together; Steven tries to jump and pose as well, but quickly falls to the ground.)

Y/N: Hey don't worry Steven, Why don't we take five for today, gonna burn yourself out dude

(You help Steven up)

Steven: Okay, Thanks Y/N

[Trans. Int. Steven's Kitchen]

(You and The Crystal Gems walk towards the kitchen to take a break)

Steven: *carrying a towel around his neck* I don't get it, I thought I almost had it.

Pearl: *sits besides the kitchen counter* Nobody expects you to be able to perform fusion right away, Steven.
