Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Pool Hopping

(You and Steven, riding atop Lion, overlook Beach City from the top of the hill.)

Steven: Good old Beach City, but so much has changed lately.

Y/N: Yeah, Guess every since some people were abducted by Aquamarine, people really have improved with their lives

(You, Steven and Lion walk about the town. You pass by Beach Citywalk Fries, when Nanefua is informing the citizens about an evacuation route.)

Steven: I guess after all that, everything couldn't just return to normal.

(You and Steven wave to Sadie, Buck, and Sour Cream as they pass by.)

Steven: With Sadie rocking out and Lars in space, I can't even enjoy my regular snack at the Big Donut. What am I gonna do for breakfast now?!

Y/N: Bowl of Cereal of Toast I guess, but if you want I could make waffles.

Steven: Thanks for the offer, Y/N.

(Steven leans onto Lion's head and groans gloomily.)

Steven: But's it's just not  going to be the same

Y/N: Yeah. H-Hey what's that suppose to mean?

(Lion stops and hurls Steven off his back onto the ground, when Steven hears a door chime nearby. He turns and sees two customers leaving the Big Donut with food in hand.)

Steven: Wait a minute. Big Donut is still open?

Y/N: How?

(You and Steven enter the Big Donut and gasps in surprise.)

Garnet: *standing behind the counter, wearing a Big Donut uniform* Hello! Welcome to the Big Donut!

Y/N: Woah Woah Woah Woah, Wait, Garnet, You're working at The Big Donut now?

Steven: *walks up to the counter* I have so many questions.

Garnet: Just one moment. You'll have to wait your turn.

(Garnet skillfully fills a paper bag full of donuts and hands them to a customer, completing the transaction. You and She then turns to Steven.)

Garnet: Welcome to the Big Donut. Tell me how I may serve you.

Y/N: Yes, I'd like to order, AN EXPLANATION, like Garnet, why are you working at The Big Donut

Steven: Have we fallen on hard times?

Garnet: Y/N, Steven. This isn't about making ends meet. This is about being random.

Y/N: Really?

Garnet: Oh, yes!

Steven: I... don't understand.

(Garnet pours coffee into a cup, and then spills the coffee from the cup onto the counter.)

Garnet: *points at the streams of spilled coffee* My future vision allows me to see down the rivers of possibility, granting me insight into the possible realities our actions move us towards. But that doesn't mean I can predict everything. What I'm interested in are these extremely unlikely realities, so disconnected from the natural course of events that I can't detect them. *points at a pool of coffee, disconnected from the rest of the spill* When we act in unnatural ways, we create new, unforeseen paths, and arrive at these pools of improbability. *drags her finger through the spill, linking a stream with the pool*

Steven: Oh, so you want to do stuff you usually don't just to see what happens?

Garnet: *smiles and gives a thumbs-up* I didn't foresee you understanding that.
