Steven Universe : Garnet x Male or Female Gem/Vampire Hybrid Reader Love Story

Story 12

            ~Time Skip Greg's POV~
       Tap. Tap. Tap. Is all I hear, but I decide to ignore it and try to go back to sleep. Tap. Tap. Tap. The taps are getting louder, but I still try to ignore it. TAP. TAP. TAP. I groan and decide to get up and answer the door. I open my van's door and rub my eyes until I see a blurry figure take shape. "Mr. Universe?" A man that resembles Mr. Smiley, but in a Marine Corp's officer uniform with a deep voice is standing outside my van.
       My eyes quickly shoot open and I scramble out of my van, bumping my head in the process. "Uh, yes sir! I'm M-Mr. Universe!" I give him a salute and he returns one, but drops it fast and gives me an envelope. "Mr./Ms. L/n was in an accident, we got ambushed at basic training. There were many casualties, but thanks to Mr./Ms. L/n, there were no deaths. He/she, alongside with his/her cousin, Ms. Harriet, saved at least twenty others out on the field, but got injured in the process. Mr/Ms. L/n, more than Ms. Harriet."
         Tears are tugging at my eyes and my heart is cracking. The officer places a hand on my shoulder and smiles weakly, "But they're still alive, everyone is thanks to them. The President awarded them both a Purple Heart and they're both coming home soon. This letter explains what happened to Mr./Ms. L/n and he/she would like you to come pick him/her up tomorrow at the train station alone, if that's okay." A tear rolls down my face, "Oh O-Okay." He releases his touch on my shoulder. "Mr./Ms. L/n is a hero and is discharged." He salutes me and now I return it and drop it, then he drops his and heads off back to wherever he came from, leaving me alone again in front of my carwash.
         I look down at the white envelope and it says my name. I gulp and flip it over and tear it open. The piece of notebook paper slides easily into my hand and I unfold it and start reading it.
          "Dear Greg,
              Since you're reading this letter, you now know I was in an accident. The enemies decided to try to get a jump on us during basics, but thanks to my and Ruth's advanced senses, we got a little head's up on when the attack was going to be held, but not where, until it was too late. A few flash grenades and thousands of bullets entered our area out of no where and everything was in chaos. Ruth and I tried to warn the others that we had a bad feeling about our surroundings without giving away what we are, but the others just told us we had paranoia. Anyways, Ruth and I got everyone out of harms way, but Ruth got shot in the left leg and I got shot in the left inner shoulder, my right ribs and my upper right thigh. I would've healed more quickly if the bloody enemies didn't use silver bullets. Silver to me and Ruth is like snake's venom to humans. It spreads. After we got everyone out of harms way and we made the enemy retreat, Ruth and I, alongside with some others ended up in the infirmary and after they got the bullets out, they decided that it was too dangerous for Ruth and I to be here because of 'the allergic reaction' from the enemies bullets, so they're sending us home and I was wondering if you could pick me up Christmas Eve? If you don't mind, but if you can't, I'll just take the bus. And if you do come and get me, make sure its just you please, I need to go Christmas shopping for some of the family. Thanks in advance Greg.
           Love, F/n L/n.
      P.S. Don't tell the others I'm coming in. Thanks."

         "Of course I'll come pick you up." I say to myself. "What are you going to go pick up dad?" Steven's voice startles me from behind, making me jump and face him. "Oh, Stuball! How long have you been there?!" I rub the back of my neck and quickly pocket y/n's letter in my back pocket. Sweat is coming down in beads on my body. "Oh, just to the part where you said you'll pick up something." I sigh, thank goodness. "What are you going to go pick up dad?" Jeez, I dont want to lie to him. "Um, y/n sent something in the mail for Garnet and it'll be in tomorrow and he/she was wondering if I can come pick it up tomorrow."
       "Ooh! Can I come?!" He has stars in his eyes, he definitely gets that from Rose. I snicker and shake my head, "Nope, sorry kiddo. I have to go solo. Y/n's orders." "Awe man, y/n knows that I'd probably wanted to come if I found out and that's why he/she is doing this." He crosses his arms and huffs and I can't hold in a chuckle. I ruffle his hair, "Yep, sorry bud. Why don't you go and hang out with Connie, you two could go sledding." The ground is covered just enough for the activity. "Okay!" He instantly cheers up and hugs me and runs off. "I love you dad!" "I love you too, son! Be careful!" "Will do!" His yell echo's as he runs back to the temple. I smile and turn around to face my van. Trash and junk is covering the floor next to my mattress. "Ugh, it looks like I better clean before I go pick up y/n." Sigh.
