Floating

A/N - I'm making Steven fifteen and Connie sixteen for this, by the way. I can't wait for season five of Steven Universe!

|Connie's POV|

 I was lying in bed with nothing to do, starring up at the ceiling. It was Saturday. I glanced over at my alarm clock. It read 4:18 PM. I sighed and rolled over rubbing my eyes. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out. Steven had texted me.

Steven: Hey, the Crystal Gems just went out on another mission and they left me behind this time, want to come over?

 I stared at the text for a moment before snapping back into reality. My thumb danced across my phone's screen and I sent the text. It read:

Sure! Should I bring anything?

Steven: Nah, just yourself. I'll come by on Lion in a few. Do you want me to pick you up via window or the front door? :P

 I rolled my eyes. My parents still didn't really trust Steven much, but Mom was better after the night at the hospital. (Nightmare Hospital, Season 2 Episode 16) I quickly texted him:

Just go to the door. My dad is out.

Steven: M'kay. See you soon!

 I jumped up and quickly brushed my hair, slipping out of my dress into a pair of blue jeans and a pale teal tee-shirt. 

|Steven's POV|

 "Lion?! Where are you, Lion?!" I called out side. I frowned. Connie was expecting me soon. "Lion, I don't have time for this! Come out!"

 I heard Lion rumble behind me. I turned and grinned at my pink Lion and rubbed his mane. "To the Maheswaran residence, please." I requested. Lion yawned and I gripped his mane tight. I sighed when he didn't move. I nudged his ribs with my toes. "Lion g-" I was cut off when he lept forward and raced at top speeds towards Connie's house.

 I rolled my eyes and when we got to Connie's house, I jumped off of Lion and walked up to the door. I pressed the doorbell and heard Connie's light footsteps coming down the stairs inside. She opened the door and I grinned at her.

 She blushed lightly and grinned back. She looked over my shoulder and I turned and looked too. Lion gave me a wink only I saw, turned away from us, and sprinted away, leaving us with no way back to the temple. Except for walking, and since I can now control my floating powers, that too. 

 I glanced at Connie and sighed. "Looks like Lion went ahead without us." I said.

 Connie shifted on her feet and smiled like it was no problem, and really, it wasn't. "We can walk." she said, starting down the beach.

 "I can float." I told her, grinning widely. I concentrated and slowly began to rise of the ground. 

 Connie stared at me from below. "I wish I could do that!"

 I laughed and dropped back down to earth. "Never." I teased her.

 Connie grinned at me playfully before picking up a handful of sand and throwing it at me. I laughed and threw sand back at her. She dodged and threw sand. As I was wiping it off my face, Connie lunged at me.

|Connie's POV|

 I smiled and lunged at Steven as he was running his hand across his face. I tackled him and started to tickle him. Steven bucked weakly under me, laughing and begging me to stop. I grinned down at him and stopped. Steven glared at me playfully, a small blush on his face. "How dare you tickle me!"

 I just laughed and turned to continue walking. I stopped when my sun-hat was snatched off my head. I turned and glared at Steven, amused. "Come on Steven, if we're going to make it to your house before 5:00, then we need to start moving."

 Steven stuck his tongue out at me and gripped my hat in his hands. "We were basically just going to do this when we got to my house anyway, so really there is no point!" He grinned at me slyly before starting to float.

 "Oh no you don't!" I yelled at him. I jumped up and caught his torso and Steven laughed as I began to climb over him, trying to reach my hat, which he was holding over his head. I giggled along with him, a blush creeping over my face.

 We floated higher and I got my hat back. Steven grinned at me and grabbed me by the waist. I immediately began to blush. Steven flipped himself over so his back was facing the ground and hauled me on top of him.

 I stared at him. Steven's face was a light shade of pink as he explained: "Now, you can see Beach City from up here too. You said you wanted this power, so I thought I'd give you a sample of it."

 We stopped going up but by now we were far above Beach City. I looked at Steven's face, he was looking anywhere but at me, blushing. I smiled and thought, he's so sweet. I hesitantly grabbed hold of his arm and peeked around his shoulder. I could feel my eyes widen. It was beautiful!

 Steven was grinning at me, I could feel it. I loosened my grip on his arm and hugged his neck, feeling my face heat up. "Thank you!" I told him.

 Steven stuttered. "N-no p-problem. It was my p-pleasure!"

 I smiled at him and snuggled closer to his chest my elbow was gently resting on Steven's chest as well, propping me up. Steven raised his head and our faces were inches apart. My breath caught in my chest as we got closer. Oh my gosh, I thought, are we going to kiss?!

 I hesitated and suddenly a strong wind blew, unbalancing me and making me crash my lips against Steven's. We stayed like that for a couple of seconds, me gripping his collar so that I didn't fall off. We stared at each other, still kissing, and my heart beating a thousand miles per hour.

|Steven's POV|

 I was floating. Connie was in my arms. We were kissing. Nope, nope, this is a dream, I told myself firmly. But it wasn't. I deepened the kiss and felt Connie relax a bit. I slipped my arms around her waist and as slowly as I could, started to float back down to Earth. Connie pulled out of the kiss, her face a deep red, and I knew my face was the same.

 I didn't say anything and neither did Connie, we just floated there, staring at each other. I suddenly realized, I HAD JUST KISSED CONNIE! My eyes widened, I could feel it. I tensed up and we started to drop out of the sky.

 I was frozen as Connie yelled at me to snap out of it. A few seconds later I came to, and the ground was rushing up to us. I yelped, grabbed Connie, and quickly formed a bubble. Connie was above me when we made impact.

 I felt so much pressure and black blobs start to enter my vision. I mumbled something, before I poofed.
