Black Rain, Stevidot

Chapter 12

Peridot's pov💚~

I had just gotten finished feeding Muffin, my new 'pet', which Steven described as a certain type of tame life form that is supposed to be loyal to you. Pearl got us some cat food, which is the type of food Muffin is supposed to eat.

"Aww, Muffins so cute when he sleeps!" Steven pet Muffin, who was purring in his sleep. "He could be described as cute" I agree. We were all sitting on the couch, absorbed in Muffins cuteness.

I heard Steven mumble something. "Hmm?" I made a questioning noise, hoping he got the message. "Nothing..." His face got red so I decided to pry some more. I mean, come on, what do you expect, I'm Peridot!

"Come oooon, tell meeeee!" I looked at him and made the cute face amethyst taught me. His face got even more red. He mumbled something again. I moved muffin so he was on the right side of the couch, and I was next to Steven.

I laid back into his lap and made the cute face again. He blushed again. "Please?" I asked softly. "I said he wasn't as cute as you..." Steven said hesitantly. I looked over at Muffin as he hissed angrily and hopped off the couch, stomping away.

"I don't know, he's pretty cute..." I told Steven my opinion. No, not opinion, that was a fact. "Besides, I AM NOT CUTE!!!" I screamed. Steven looked startled as I did. I burst out laughing. That face though!!!

     Steven snickered a little. We both blushed. "HEY GUY- WHAT THE?!" Amethyst appeared out of her room, "MY GOSH!!! STEVEN YOU PLAYERRRR!!!" She yelled.

     "What? What's a player?" I asked.
"I'll explain later..." Steven whispered to me, "For now let's just... Try to distract Amethyst from ever bringing this up again."
"Not gonna happen!" Amethyst, who appeared next to me exclaimed. "AAAH!" I yelled in surprise. "So what happened to Connie?" She nudged Steven. "W-what? Connie and I aren't dating!" He looked flustered. "

   "So you admit you and Peri here are?" She squealed in excitement, "I'm gonna go tell Pearl! This will be so hilarious!" "What! No we're not!" Steven and I protested at the same time.

     "Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!" Amethyst laughed while running back into her room. "Urgh..." Steven made a distressed noise. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Nooooooo!" He stretched out the word.

      "Why?" I questioned. After the what seemed like an hour long explanation, I was flustered. "We know Amethyst gets distracted easily, so we know she's probably not to Pearl yet, even with the 40 minutes that has passed." Steven told me.

       "We can go stop her!" I grinned. "Let's go!"

       We knew that obviously Amethyst wouldn't let us in her room, but Pearl would. We had to distract Pearl.

      I knocked on her door. No answer. I knocked again. No answer. I knocked over and over and over again, and then Steven joined me in the knocking of doors.

      The door shone and opened. There stood Pearl, more annoyed than ever. "Pearl, we need to show you something that's relevant to the drill!" I lied. She forgot to be irritated and immediately told us to lead the way.
