Lapidot Oneshots

Prompt- Scar worship

<Lapis>
"Lapis~ wake up" I did not want to get up. "Mmmph." I stretched out in the bed I was in. "Come ooon." I uncovered the sheets from my face and saw Peridot sitting at the edge of the bed with a can of mountain dew. "I'm up." I said groggily. "You don't look awake. You can barely keep your eyes open." That was true, I was very tired from being up all night studying. "I just wanna sleeep. I'm tireeed." She looked at me and then put her can down and opened her arms as to hug. I realized what this meant, we were going to cuddle. "Do you want to sit up, or lay down?" She said as I climbed into her lap. "Doesn't matter." I could sleep anywhere if I was in her arms. "Lets lay down, it'll be more comfortable for you." So, we lay down and I cuddled up against her as I drifted off into sleep.

<Peridot>
She fell asleep about 10 minutes ago, and I've just been here studying her features and presentation. "Hmm.. She always where's hoodies or longed sleeved things. I wonder why." Curiously, I slowly and gently pulled one of her sleeves down her arm and left half of it exposed. And what I saw.. alarmed me. She had scars on her wrists from where she most likely inflicted self harm. Upon me touching them, she began to stir in her sleep, and eventually woke up. "Lapis." I said sternly as she rubbed her eyes. "What? What's wrong?" She yawned for a couple of seconds, then put her head back in my neck. "Why didn't you tell me about your scars?" She froze, and her eyes shot open and looked down. She didn't notice her sleeve was rolled up when she awoke. "I.. uh. I don't know." She pulled her sleeve back down, got out of my lap, and sat up. I did the same. "You should've told me about this. Why didn't you tell me?" Her eyes began to tear up as she spoke. "I-i didn't want you to worry. I didn't think it was important." Tears began to roll down her cheeks onto the bed she was sitting on. "When did it happen? Why did you do it?" I wasn't trying to pry, I just wanted to know so I could understand. "I-it happened when I was dating Jasper. About 4 months ago." Of course, I should've known she was the cause. "I'm sorry. If I made you uncomfortable talking about this. I just wanted to be able to be there for you." She smiled weakly and got up to go to the dresser. She pulled the second drawer and took out a bottle of pills, throwing them on the bed. I picked them up, confused. "What are these for?" She sat back down and wiped her tears. "They're my antidepressants. I take them every night." I sat there, looking at the new-to-me pills. "Why didn't you tell me about all this sooner?" She was looking down at the floor, avoiding eye contact. "I-i'm sorry. I just didn't want you to worry." She started fidgeting with her hands and came over to the bed to sit by me.

I hesitated a bit when sitting down, before putting my head on her shoulder and closing my eyes, relaxing. I felt her put her arm around me and pull me close. "Let me know if this bothers you, okay?" I was confused, so I opened my eyes. "Okay?" With her other free arm, she took mine and flipped it over, revealing my scars. I shut my eyes because I didn't want to see them, but then she started tracing and rubbing where they were. It felt kinda good honestly. I didn't want her to stop, but after a couple minutes, she did. "Why'd you stop?" She put her hand into mine, and interlaced our fingers. "Are you tired? I did wake you up." I looked up at her and she looked back. "Well, I am kinda tired. But.. can you.. rub my arms again, when we lay down?" She smiled and lay down on the bed, me following her actions. "Of course, whatever makes you happy." I scooted close to her, and made it where she could reach my arms. That last thing I heard was Peridot softly humming to an, unbeknownst to me, song.
