Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

A Single Pale Rose

(You and Steven is sitting on the couch in the living room, Steven was deep in contemplation and having several flashbacks.)

[Flashback - "Back to the Moon"]

Eyeball: I watched the leader of the Crystal Gems, Rose Quartz, shatter Pink Diamond!

[Flashback - "Jungle Moon"]

(Back in Steven's dream, Pink Diamond punched the glass in Yellow Diamond's Jungle Moon Base in anger, smashing it.)

[Flashback - "The Trial"]

Zircon (D): So how did a Rose Quartz, with no business being anywhere near Pink Diamond, get so close in the first place?

[Flashback - "Can't Go Back"]

(Back in Steven's dream again, a silhouette of Pearl held up Rose's Sword behind Pink Diamond and glared at Steven intimidatingly.)

[Trans. Int. Beach House]

(Steven gasps in fright from Pearl's glare in his dream, snapping him out of his thoughts)

Y/N: You Okay?

Steven: No, Um Yes, I-I don't know, it's jsut this is just to much to take in

Y/N: It's okay 'Lil Buddy, Just take all the time you need

(Pearl and Amethyst walk into the house.)

Amethyst: I can't believe you've had your phone for a month, and you haven't used it at all!

Pearl: That's not true! I use it to tell the time!

(Steven groans in anxiety, as Pearl and Amethyst sit by the kitchen counter.)

Amethyst: Sigh... Come here, P. Huh, let's change your wallpaper.

(Amethyst takes Pearl's cellphone and takes a selfie, setting it as the wallpaper.)

Amethyst: Looks great. Okay, now texting is in the messages. Just click on this screen icon-

Y/N: Hey Pearl, I think Steven wants to talk to you about som-

Amethyst: Hold on, You two. I'm in the middle of a demonstration. Hey, anyway... Then you can type pretty much anything you want.

(Steven receives a text from Pearl, reading "Dear Steven, Hello. Love, Pearl".)

Amethyst: You really should have a case for this.

Pearl: I do. *pulls out a suitcase from her gem*

Amethyst:: Okay. I have a bunch of actual phone cases in my room. Don't throw that thing against a rock or anything until I'm back.

(Amethyst enter the Temple Gate into her room. Pearl is now alone)

Y/N: *whispers* Go on Steven, tell her

(Steven approaches her nervously.)

Steven: Pearl?

Pearl: What is it, Steven?

Steven: ...You remember how Mom shattered Pink Diamond? Well, I was just wondering, if maybe... You shattered Pink Diamond.

Pearl: *shocked* I-

(Pearl quickly covers her hands over her mouth involuntarily, dropping her phone onto the floor.)

Y/N: Well, Did you?

Steven: I-It's okay. You can tell me.

(Pearl struggles to speak, with her hands still covering her mouth.)

Steven: Why can't you just talk to me about this!?

(Amethyst returns, holding a phone case in her hand, and quickly senses the uneasiness in the room.)
