Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Log Date 7 15 2

[Open Int. The Barn]

(Peridot is staring out of the hole in the side of the barn, recording a log in her tape recorder.)

Peridot: *calmly* Log date 7 15 2... *hysterically* I can't believe I just did that! I disobeyed my orders and went against Yellow Diamond's wishes! I'm a traitorous clod! I never want to think about what I've done again! *rewinds her tape recorder*

Tape Recorder (Peridot): "I'm a traitorous CLOD!"

Peridot: *snickers delightedly* Yehahaha! And I called Yellow Diamond a clod RIGHT TO HER FACE! (Suddenly devastated, Peridot drops to her knees, while You come in with pizza.) *whimpering and sweating profusely* I called Yellow Diamond a clod... right to her face!

Y/N: Hey Peridot, I got you dinner, Uh You okay?

Tape Recorder: (Peridot) "I'm a traitorous CLOD!" *rewinds* "-traitorous CLOD!" *rewinds*

Peridot: *turns to You with a deranged smile* No!

Y/N: Hey, Don't worry, You're with the good guys now

Peridot: *clings onto You* You don't understand! I'm protecting a planet I was once trying to destroy! I used to follow every order. Every rule. Now I'm a traitor. A rebel! *eyes turn into stars* A Crystal Gemmmmmmm! *chuckles*

(Peridot rewinds her tape recorder repeatedly.)

Tape Recorder: (Peridot) "-CLOD!" "-CLOD!" "-CLOD!"

Y/N: Hey, I think your tape recorder might be helping

Peridot: No it's not! It's a chronicle of my descent into madness!

(Peridot throws away her tape recorder, which hits Garnet in the face and she catches it. Garnet then approaches Peridot with her tape recorder.)

Garnet: You dropped this.

Peridot: *crawls on the floor and hides behind Garnet* Get it away from me. Give it to Y/N; return madness to its source! *curls up*

(Garnet shrugs and hands the tape recorder to You.)

Y/N: Peridot, Are you sure you don't want this

Peridot: *holding her face* Whatever, it's yours now. Yours, not mine, not mine! Yours! Yours!

Garnet: *puts her hand on Peridot's shoulder* Let's calm down.

Peridot: ... Okay. So am I gonna have to wear a star? Where am I gonna put the star?!

(Garnet gently lifts Peridot up and carries her out of the barn, Steven walks up next to you)

Steven: They seem to be getting along well. I wonder when that happened...

Y/N: How long have you been here

Steven: I just got here

(You look at the tape recorder in his hand.)

Y/N: Here Steven, Take this

(You hand Steven Peridot's tape recorder, He then looks awkwardly away and presses the rewind button, rewinding the tape all the way back to the beginning of Peridot's logs on Earth, cuing in several flashbacks.)

[Trans Int. the Barn]

(You, Steven and Peridot are sitting on the back of the truck in the barn.)

Tape Recorder (Peridot): "Log date 7 11 2. The Steven has given me this Earth machine to replace my communicator log. It looks... extremely primitive."

(Peridot snatches the tape recorder from Steven.)

Tape Recorder (Peridot): "He also said he wanted me to stop calling him "the Steven", While the Y/N wanted me to stop calling him "the Y/N"."
