Misfits

Chapter 16

Lapis' Pov

Phew, teaching Peridot to walk again was pretty hard. Especially with her new enhancers.

Come to think of it, she is much more... Attractive. Now that she's a bit taller than me. I was helping Peri walk towards our room with her arm around my neck.

"Hey so uh, would you mind if we're like this for a couple of hours? My knees still hurt..." She says, whispering.

I nodded and smiled up at her, making her smile back. People around us were looking at Peri and laughing, pointing and whispering to their friends about her being disabled. I glared at them, a loud hiss coming from my throat and my eyes turned red. My fangs elongated making them shut up. My face returned to its normal features and we turned away from the haters.

"Ignore them Peri... They just can't see how beautiful you look." I smirked up at her. She was blushing madly with her lips pursed and I laughed.

We were a stumbling mess on the hallways and when we finally reached the door to our room, Peridot fell. She yelped and landed on the floor, making a weird noise. I stifled a laugh and helped her up.

She rubbed her butt to take the ache away and opened the door for us. She was limping so I had to help her sit down on her bed.

"So, how did you shift back though? I've been wanting to ask you that for hours." I scratched my head at that question.

"Well, after you were taken for surgery, Jasper went inside to check on me-" A low growl interrupted. I slowly closed my mouth and glanced at Peri at my peripheral vision. She was pouting and had her arms crossed. Her eyes kept flicking back and forth between her normal eye color and black.

"No need to get jealous, she just taught me how to shift back." I booped her nose and she blushed. She hugged me from my side and pressed her nose against my neck.

"You're mine though." She said, nuzzling my neck. I shivered and leaned my head so she would have more space.

"Yeah, I am yours..." I whispered as I bit my lip. I closed my eyes, humming to myself. Peri chuckled and nipped at the skin. I bit my lip harder. Then suddenly, the door opened.

"HEYA GUYS, WADDYA DOI-" Peri and I suddenly tore apart from each other. I fell down the ground and Peridot fell back down on the bed.

"MEEP!" Peri yelped.

"I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING, NOPE. NADA, NOTHING!" Someone yelled and slammed the door shut. I moaned in pain and rubbed my head. Peri crawled from the bed towards the edge.

"Hey, you alright?" She said, she reached down and grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She looked absolutely adorable doing it. I almost forgot all about the pain until I tried to get up. My back cramped and it hurt. 

I winced and Peri helped me stand up. She lifted the hem of my shirt and saw a tiny bruise. And I mean tiny.

She growled lowly, "I will fucking murder that person." I could feel her clench her fist. I put my hand on her chest.

"Hey, it's just a tiny bruise. Nothing bad is gonna happen to me you know." She seem to calm down at what I said. She hugged me from the front and sniffed my scent. I relaxed under her touch, the sparks flowing through our bodies once again.

I can feel her emotions, know what she feels. She seems happy, content, yet she feels a twinge of sadness inside her. Why though? Did she do something? Did I do something?

I could feel her raise her walls up around her mind and she pulls away from me. She smiles and pulls my hand and we walk towards the semi-open door. We peered through the open space and saw Amethyst standing with Pearl.
