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

Day Off (Let's face it, it's a date)

Okay, so I just wrote like three chapters...but they work better if I establish some things that take time to establish, so this is coming out pretty late unfortunately enough.
Now, I'll just go ahead and state this: I'm hoping to get another chapter done ASAP so I can release those chapters, but if I don't, it's because I'm enjoying my vr too much.

Also- I'd like to apologize for my inactivity, I've just been stuck with this chapter and kind of putting it off while I try to think of something, so I'll be releasing the other two or three soon (a day or so) after you read this. (hopefully but unlikely)
That being said, go ahead and enjoy this chapter where idk what I'm trying to write.

-=Steven's room=-

It was the day after their team training and Steven was in his bed and still asleep despite the fact it was eleven o'clock in the morning. "Psst, Steven-" A voice spoke as the hybrid could feel repetitive poking on his cheek. "Pearl sent me to wake you up."

He let out a groan as he grabbed the attacker's wrist. "Why am I being woken up so early?..." He questioned as he let go of their hand and put a pillow on his head only for it to be removed, prompting him to open his eyes, revealing his pink friend, Spinel who was now on top of his legs.

"Oh come on, yesterday's training wasn't bad, I thought we were having fun." She responded as she set the pillow down on the bed. "Even then, it's already later than when you usually get up."

"What?" He sighed as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What time is it?" He questioned as he took his pillow back and set it down where it was supposed to go.

"I think Pearl said it was eleven, all I know is that I've been getting bored just sitting here and waiting for you to wake up." She commented as she hopped off the bed. "Pearl said we have the day off, so let's go out and do something."

Steven was awake now, and there was no helping that, so he decided to get out of bed as well, straightening it up before turning to her. "Wait- you said you were bored just sitting here, waiting for me to wake up; what have you been doing when I'm asleep, do you really just sit there all night?"

"Nah, I know how that makes you uncomfortable, so I just lay down and sleep too." She shrugged casually. "Though I'm usually up as soon as your sun begins shining into your room."

"W-Wait, in my bed while I'm sleeping?" He asked as he looked over to the stairs to check and see if anyone was there, knowing that Pearl would never allow such a thing, Amethyst would use it against him in every way she could, and Garnet would be weird about it.

"Um- Yeah, is that bad? You let me sleep with you back on homeworld when we came back from earth, and I slept very well that time..." She began before looking out the window nervously, trying to avoid his gaze while wondering if she messed up. "I've come to enjoy sleeping and it's the only way I don't have those 'nightmares'. I've tried to use the plushie that usually calms me down when I'm left alone, but it doesn't work when I'm asleep..."

Steven wanted to tell her that it was inappropriate for her to sleep in the same bad as him but her excuse pulled on his heart strings too hard. He couldn't just tell her not to sleep anymore if it's something she enjoys doing, and it's not like he could tell her to sleep on the floor or something if she was having nightmares that made her wake up in tears. "I- Listen, just try not to get caught by anyone when sleeping in the same bed as me, they might get the wrong idea."

She looked back to him with an excited smile of appreciation. "Really? I can sleep with you from now on?" She asked, happy that he would let her do that despite how uncomfortable it seemingly made him at first.
