We all need a friend (StevenxSpinel)<Discontinued, remake in process>

Talking Fusion

Coming to realize just how badly I need a better picture as the face of this book .-. But idk :p
Anyway, here's another chapter! It's not exactly plot filled, but I personally find how Pearl acts towards the two to be fun lol

I'm not sure when the next chapter is coming, as I don't know what I want from it just yet, but if you get bored, why not read my alternate ending to Change Your Mind? It's my story "Rewriting History" and it is in fact an evil Steven AU.

SPOILERS for whoever reads it or wants to but (read backwards so you can't say you accidentally read it when you glanced over it) s'tI a todivetS yrots tub m'I gnikam a lenivetS etanretla tuor esuac I evol eht pihs oot hcum ton ot.
Please try not to share what that says so people will remain unspoiled, I'll probably just take the comment down anyway tbh. .x.
Unless it's right here, in that case, go ahead for those who don't want to read the whole thing, and to those people who actually plan to read it,...well you've been warned I guess.

It had been an entire week and Steven and Spinel have been training vigorously, Spinel having made an amazing amount of progress on her own. It was easy to tell that the pink Gem was excited to begin fighting with her friend and luckily for her, today was the day that would happen. Connie was coming over and they were all training today, and that meant the two of them would be finding better ways to fight with each other and support the other's weak points while making their strengths all the stronger.

"Hey Stevo, you excited for today's training lesson?" Spinel asked her friend as she joined him on the couch, the friendly Gem recently learning the concept of a nickname and deciding that it would be fun to give him some, his new nicknames consisting of Stevie and of course Stevo so far.

The teen gave a chuckle in response, "You bet, though I don't know if I could keep up with you all that well, I mean the way you fight is like a graceful dance of war and half the time I just end up watching in amazement at how far you've come in this past week."

"Aw shucks, you're giving  me too much credit here, it's a lot in part to Pearl's help, but hey, you're a good fighter too, it makes me wonder how you even lost to the rebels in the first place." Spinel questioned, recently finding out that the hybrid really was a lot stronger than she initially thought he was.

"I'm not really sure, I think I just started panicking when the guards that were given the job of defending me were being shattered one by one and then it only got worse when I saw it was Jasper who was leading the attack...I mean, I didn't want to hurt her, I thought we were starting to become friends after we uncorrupted her, but she still seems to hate me, and this time it's specifically me, not Rose... and in a weird way, somehow people hating me for something that I've done feels a lot better than if I'm being blamed for something that my mom did." He explained before realizing he was deviating from the question. "But uh- yeah, I guess I was just taken off guard and by the time I was able to accept the fact that she was still my enemy, I had already been restrained."

Spinel noticed his glum attitude that he was trying to hide. "Oh geez, I didn't mean to bring the mood down; you know you can talk about whatever happened between you two if you want, I'm still here for you, and that goes for more than just being here to fight for you." She offered as she grabbed his hand, their most common gesture.

Steven wanted to tell her everything. He wanted to tell her about this voice, he wanted to tell her about Pink Steven and his boosted power, and he wanted to tell he about how he was...dead. He wanted to get all of this off of his chest, but he just couldn't bring himself to tell her those things as he knew that telling her about his unfortunate temporary demise would only upset her and telling her about anything else would lead back to that...so he couldn't tell her, once again he had to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself for the sake of others. When he thought about it like that he realized it sounded like he was blaming them for it, but he didn't hold any resentment towards them, those would just be natural responses to something like that after all.
