Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

Mr. Universe

[Open. Int. Crystal Temple]

Y/N: Ahh, So nice to see that everything is  going smoothly, after that whole, Hospital Thing

(You walk up to Steven)

Y/N: So, Feelin' better?

Steven: Actually, Yeah, I think I am

(Greg is seen making a bowl of ice-cream for Steven, with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a slice of pie.)

Greg: Here you go, schtu-ball. Dinner is served. Ice-cream ala pie!

Steven: *laughs* Thanks, Dad.

Greg: Are you feeling any better? Looks like the swelling and glowing have gone down.

(Steven pauses as he is about to grab a spoonful of ice-cream.)

Greg: You know, that pie won't eat itself.

Steven: Sorry, I'm just- thinking about stuff.

Greg: What kind of stuff?

Steven I've spent so long trying to figure out whether I was Mom. Now that I actually know I'm me, it's like I have no idea who that is. I just wish I knew what to do with myself.

Greg: Well, I can relate to that.

Steven: Really?

Greg: When I was your age, I didn't know who I was, or what I wanted to do.

Steven: You didn't always want to be a rock-star?

Greg: No way. I didn't get my hands on good music until I was your age. Before I had the van I had no idea what was out there. But everything changed when I hit the road. I mean, sure, you've seen other planets but what about West Keystone? Or Charm City? I had some of my most formative moments eating rest-stop sandwiches outside Delmarva house, and watching the trucks go by.

Steven: Huh.

Greg: Maybe you need a change of scenery, schtu-ball. You're never gonna find yourself if you don't start looking.

Steven: Yeah, yeah!

Greg: Let's go, son. Right now!

Steven Really?

Greg: The road is calling, Steven! Can't you hear it?

(Greg runs out the door, and Steven follows him while carrying his bowl of ice-cream.)

Steven: Yeah, I think I can!

Y/N: Have a good road trip, You two!!

[Int. Greg's Van]

(A montage of Steven and Greg's drive is shown, with them first driving out of Beach City, then stopping at a Pepe's Burger joint and a Uaua gas station. Inside the Uaua, they each try on a pair of wacky sunglasses and laugh at each other. As their drive continues, Steven and Greg both sing along to Dear Old Dad, eventually stopping once they start driving through a neighborhood.)

Greg: About two blocks that way, that's where I played my first gig.

Steven: Really?

Greg: I wasn't even Mr. Universe yet. I was just a kid with a guitar, sneaking out past the warden on a Saturday night.

Steven: Wait, so..how did you become Mr. Universe?

Greg: You know what? I can show you.

(Greg parks the van outside of one of the houses and steps out.)

Greg: Good, no one's home.

Steven: Wait, what? Whose house is that? Dad!

(Greg ignores him and approaches the house before jumping over the white picket fence and landing on the other side with a hard thud. Steven quickly gets out of the van and goes over to the fence himself, but instead only peaking his head above it.)
