Chapter 36

Lapis's POV:

Peridot left for an errand a little more than an hour ago, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The last time Peridot didn't tell me where she was, she had bruises because she had been with Jasper. I just couldn't help but worry about Peridot, but I remained laying in her bed. I stared up at the ceiling, trying to fall back asleep, but it was quite difficult. I nearly jumped out of the bed as soon as I heard the key jiggling into the doorknob. I yawned and rested my hands behind my head, keeping my eyes glued to the door. It slowly opened, and in peeked Peridot's head. 

She had a nervous grin on her face, and I arched an eyebrow. "Hey, Peri. How was your errand?" I asked. "It was good. Good. Uh-uhm, Lapis, I have something to show you..." she muttered in reply, stepping into the room. She had her large backpack slung over both of her shoulders as she walked in. I slightly sat up, and tilted my head, a bit confused. "What is it?" I asked, eyeing the backpack Peridot gently set down on the bed. I swore I saw the backpack move on its own, but I may have just been seeing things. 

"Uh...you alright?" I looked up at Peridot, and she looked a bit nervous. "I-I uhm...got something for us...w-well more so for you to ya know...help you get y-your mind off things whenever you're overwhelmed or anything...a-and just s-something to, well...make us both happier." Peridot stuttered, and her cheeks were tinted pink. She then placed her fingers on the zipper of her backpack and slowly unzipped it. I leaned forward a little to get a better view. Peridot then reached in, and pulled out a.....A PUPPY?! A PUPPY?! A PUPPYYYYY!! AYDGJSGFBDFVHDFGFVB-

Peridot's POV:

I hesitantly held the puppy out to Lapis, keeping a painful grin on my face. Please like it please like it please like it. The puppy squeaked, and wriggled in my hands. Lapis's eyes were as wide as saucers, and her hands were clamped over her mouth. Is that a good or bad reaction?! I nearly dropped the puppy when Lapis squealed in an inhumanly high-pitch. Lapis quickly reached over and took the puppy from my hands, and hugged it tightly. I sighed in relief, and half-smiled.

Lapis was wearing the biggest grin I'd ever seen, and she held the puppy in front of her. Lapis's nose was nearly touching the puppy's, and the puppy's tail began to wag. "Hi babbyyyyy...you're so cute! Who's a good girl?! You are! You are!" the bluenette cooed in a squeaky voice, and the puppy looked just as excited to see her. The small dog barked, licking Lapis's nose, and Lapis giggled. Wow...I don't think I've ever seen her this thrilled about anything before..."Peridot I can't believe you did this! Thank you so much you are adorable!" Lapis squealed, looking at me with pure happiness in her eyes. 

"Hehe, oh, i-it was nothing r-really...I just...love to see you smile and I was hoping that maybe you'd do it more often with this little thing around..." I muttered, feeling my face heat up. Lapis stared at me for a moment with a big smile on her face. She kissed my cheek gently and giggled, and I blushed harder. "You're too good to me..." she said, now giving me a softer smile. The bluenette softly pet the puppy's head, and the small animal rested in Lapis's lap. "What's her name?" she asked, looking down at the puppy. 

"Well, she doesn't exactly have a name yet. I was actually gonna let you do the honors..." I said, scratching the back of my neck. Lapis raised both of her eyebrows at me. "Really?" she asked excitedly. "Yup." Lapis then looked back down at the small puppy. "Hmmm...she reminds me of a gingerbread....or a pumpkin." the bluenette muttered. "I think both are pretty good names..." I added, giggling. "...I think Pumpkin is a cute name..." she said, her cheeks a bit pink. "I love it." I said, staring at her. 

"S-so you bought stuff for her right?" Lapis asked. "Noooo, I just got the puppy. I was hoping that she'd just be potty-trained on the toilet and just eat all of our food." I said with a tone full of sarcasm. Lapis rolled her eyes and laughed. "The stuff's in the car..." I said, laughing with her.
