Steven Universe x Male Half gem reader

Chapter 18 Ocean Gem

We open up a little after the last chapter. We see Y/n back home in his bathroom treating his hand after it was cut by the shattered mirror. Dabbing cotton ball in some disinfectant before putting it to his cut. Flinching at the pain he then wraps it in a bandage.

As he puts things away the sound of his mom coming home is heard.

Maria: "Y/n, I'm back. You here?"

Y/n: putting the medical supplies away "Yeah I'm here"

Stepping out he sees his mom with Luna. Maria having two bags in her arms while Luna is holding one in her mouth. Many of the bags filled with bottled water.

Y/n: "What's with all the water?"

Maria: "Hm? Have you not seen outside today?"

Curious the boy looks out a window seeing the entire ocean gone.

Y/n: "This doesn't look good. I'll be back mom"

He runs out of the house heading to the beach or at least what was the beach. Other citizens are seen looking at the missing ocean. As he gets closer he sees Steven and the gems being confronted by Mayor Dewey.

Mayor Dewey: yells into a megaphone "Hey, it's those magical ladies!" yells at Garnet "What's going on here?!"

Garnet    : "The ocean is gone, obviously."

Mayor Dewey: "That's right. Now it's just a desert. No one wants to take a vacation to... Desert City!" crying "Aww, we're gonna lose all our summer business!"

Lars: "And all the beach babes! *crying* Awwww!"

Mr. Fryman: "Who's gonna buy my fries?"

Kofi: "And my pizza?"

Mr. Smiley: "Who's gonna have fun at Funland?"

Mayor Dewey: "As mayor, I DEMAND you explain this immediate-!"

Garnet slaps the megaphone out of the Mayor's hand.

Garnet    : "It was Lapis Lazuli."

Steven: "Lapis Lazuli?"

Pearl: "She's the Gem you and Y/n released from the mirror." projects a hologram of Lapis with her gem

Beach City Citizens: murmurs "That's incredible. How did you do that?"

Steven: "But she's a Gem, just like us."

Pearl: "There's a lot you don't know about Gems, Steven."

Y/n: "Yeah, even ones we thought we knew"

Y/n comments making the gems look to him. Cut to the beach house Steven is packing his Cheeseburger Backpack as the Gems are discussing in the kitchen with Y/n nearby with crossed arms.

Pearl: "How could I have known the Gem contained in that mirror would be so powerful?"

Y/n: "Which implies you knew she was in there and did nothing about it"

Pearl: "Y/n look it's-"

Y/n: "I don't need excuses. I just wanna help get the ocean back and find out why lapis is doing this"

Steven finishes his packing and walks towards the door, passing by Greg and Connie in the house.

Connie: "Where are you going, Steven?"

Steven: "I'm leaving to fix what I did to our home. I started talking to lapis and Y/n freed her from the mirrior. I'm gonna bring the ocean back or get really thirsty trying."

Greg: "Wait up, kiddo." places his hand on Steven's shoulder "I'm coming with you."

Connie: "I want to help, too." places her hand on Steven's other shoulder "Also, I feel weird being in your house if you're not here."
