Steven Universe: Dragonstone

Dragonstone, the protector of Rose

Dragonstone Pov

It was a cold day at the beach, the snow falling from the sky and packing on any surface it could, I was within my cavern at the beach house, before coming out to find the Gems, Steven and Greg who was staying at the house for the snow front

Greg: "Hey, Dragonstone, we're about to tell Steven the story." He smiled

Dragonstone: I let out a sigh "That story? Back when..." looks to Pearl "Hmph."

Pearl: covers her mouth "The one from about fourteen years ago?" She looks incredibly guilty "There was a snow storm happening just like this back then."

Steven: pus a finger to his chin "Fourteen years? Hey! I'm fourteen years!" He moves over as Dragonstone sits by the couch on the floor and crosses his legs, the boy taking a spot between the gem's legs

Dragonstone: "That's correct. You were merely an infant when it happened, Greg had thought you would both freeze to death." I pat the boys head affectionately while Pearl walks off

Greg: smiles "Yeah, I thought we were gonna become Snowman and Snowman junior, son of Snowman. But Vidalia went out of town to visit some family, so she let us crash at her place for a while." Pearl put a kettle on the stove, as Greg sat up he continued "It was also the first time you-..." Steven cut him off

Steven: "Dad!" He yells loudly

Greg: "I'm not that far away, Steven." He says flatly

Steven: with a smirk "Don't forget our "Arrangement."."

Greg: "Good grief." He grabs the guitar as Pearl returned to sit down while Dragonstone rolled his eyes

Dragonstone: "I blame you for raising him to enjoy that strange noise you used to make." I cross my arms while sitting

Greg: he chuckles "Well, it's a good thing I have a song for this story already." Strums the guitar, before he began to sing while Dragonstone started to recall the memories 🎶 "I could never be, I could never be, I could never be ready for this."🎶

Flashback-14 years
3rd Pov

We see Vidalia's house during a heavy snow storm, before a young greg with a full head of hair came running to the house, opening the door, but the moment he had opened the door which fell in, and he was face-to-face with Dragonstone

Greg: "Ah!" He throws up the swaddle in his arm "My baby!" Dragonstone jumped off the floor and caught the swaddle, bounding off the wall to land safely in a kneeling position "Phew..." his face turned to a scowl "What did I tell you about scaring me like that?!"

Dragonstone: stands upright "Be calm, Greg Universe. I would never let harm come to Rose." My eyes flashed down to the swaddle "This is not an infant."

Greg: he gasped "What?!" Sees the bread in the swaddle "Oh my gosh, don't tell me I left him at the store?!" He ears rustling to see baby Steven pop out of the bag "Oh.." let's put a sigh in relief "Thank goodness." Dragonstone walks over, swiftly switching the baby and the bread in his hands

Dragonstone: holds up Rose "Greetings, Rose. How was your day?" The baby babbles and drops his pacifier from his mouth "I see...I do not understand that language, even though the human encyclopaedia describes it as "baby talk". Sadly there is no translation, you will need to learn human English." He holds the baby under his arms

Greg: he chuckles softly "How did you even get in here?" Looks back to the door to see the hinges broken "Right...at least I know I didn't break it." He lets out a heavy sigh
