Galaxy Hair (Stevonnie X Gem! Reader)

Peridot brought you all inside, as you intently viewed the area. Wooden house, with wild and crazy decor. It almost hurt your eyes, seeing all the different things; banners, broken machinery, trash, food, and all things you'd see in a range of ages. Then a toilet in the middle caught your eye. 'How strange,' you thought. You walked up to the toilet, putting out your hand to touch the seat. 

"Don't touch that!" Peridot bellowed in her high picthed voice, furrowing her eyebrows. You swung your head around, eyes widened, as you jumped, startled, nearly a foot into the air.

"Sorry! Sorry..." you babbled, turning a light pink. Lapis shook her head at Peridot.

"Don't yell at new guests. That isn't very kind, Peri." Lapis scolded, patting Peridot's hair. Peridot grumbled unheard phrases to herself. Lapis grabbed Peridot's hand, and kept it that way, so that Peridot would stay calm. Stevonnie went over to you, their lovely, long, dark brown hair engulfing your eyes.

"Hey, Y/n." they chattered, their dark eyes glimmering with happiness. You snapped out of your thoughts, and smiled back.

"Yeah?" you beamed, your cheeks turning a darker red, beads of sweat going down your face. Stevonnie grabbed your hand, causing an unexpected squeak to escape your lips.

Stevonnie brought you to this building, green paper in their hand. You pointed to the paper with the other hand, giving Stevonnie a confused look. You were embarrassed to ask out loud, so you asked with emotion. Stevonnie looked down in their hand.

"Oh. This money? People use this to pay for things that aren't theirs." they explained. You "oh'd", and nodded.

"That makes sense." you laughed quietly.

Once you got inside the building, you were immediately hit with the smell of sweetness, saltiness, and buttery flavors all in one.

"Welcome to..." Stevonnie started, cheeks feathered with pink in excitement. "...the movie theater!" Stevonnie sang, gripping your hand tighter. You chuckled nervously.

"And... what exactly is a 'movie theater'?" you asked, raising an eyebrow. Stevonnie breathed in.

"Well, you get food and drinks, and then go into a room with a massive TV screen, sit in a seat out of many, and watch a movie." they explained once more. You nodded.

"Okay. I know what 'food' and 'drinks' are. As well as a 'movie', Steven..." you trailed off. "Steven told me about them..." you lamented. Stevonnie smiled sadly at you.

"I know, Y/n. I know." Stevonnie sniffled, eyes watering. You looked at each other for a moment, before going up to the food counter.

"Hi, excuse me?" Stevonnie effused, lightly tapping the counter. The brunette worker stood up from bending over, adjusting their hat (what they look like is in the picture above (they're @chickape on Instagram)). Their bright blue eyes lit up, as their pale face turned pink.

"Oh, sup!" the young human cheered, running a hand through their short hair. Stevonnie laughed at how exciting the person was. "I'm Neve, and what'll you have today?" Stevonnie looked up at the choices.

"We'll have a large, buttered popcorn and two small sodas." Stevonnie simpered, nodding.

"What kinda soda for you guys?" Neve bubbled, giving you a smile.

"I'll have Sprite. What about you, Y/n?" Stevonnie chirped. You glared at the "strange" flavors.

"Uh... That "Pepsi" one." you hummed. Neve nodded, and smirked, getting everything ready.

"They're super cool, don't you think?" Stevonnie asked you. You nodded, as Neve plopped the popcorn onto the counter.

"There's your popcorn!" Neve smiled, their well shaped eyebrows raising, as they turned to get the soda.

"Super cool." you agreed with Stevonnie out loud. Neve came back, winking one eyeliner covered eye.

"Here's your sodas! That'll be $20.77." Neve chittered, as Stevonnie handed them their money.

"Thank you!" Stevonnie and you thanked at the same time, walking to the theater rooms.

Once you got settled in your seats, and all the advertisements stopped, the movie started.

"What movie is this, anyway?" you asked. Stevonnie popped some popcorn into their mouth, chewing.

"The Lego Batman Movie™." Stevonnie replied. You rolled your eyes.

"What are they, eleven?" you whispered to yourself, Stevonnie thankfully not hearing.

**

When the movie ended, you had tears coming out of your eyes. Stevonnie smirked at you.

"Why're you crying?" they asked. You sniffed.

"Just the w-way Batman had to let go, a-and then it all was okay again, and-" you burst out crying. Stevonnie chuckled.

"Told you it was more than just a kid's movie." Stevonnie cackled.
