A half gem (Part 1)

(Y/N)'s POV:

I sat there, alone. Waiting for something to happen, a sign of relief or just anything. A couple of guards started charging over to me. Is this the end? "We're getting you out of here!" They yelled as they unlocked the rusty cage. I ran out and hugged them immediately as I recognized my friends' voices.

"There's no time, leave, it's now or never." A female guard yelled. "Will I ever see you again?" I asked concerned. "Probably not, but if you ever do you won't recognize us under our amour, there's no more time to talk," a male guard said.

"I understand, I'll be off then," I ran while trying to remember the exit from years ago. I found it, a Teleporter. I jumped into it not questioning where I was going, I just wanted somewhere far away from here.

Then all there was, was darkness until I could hear words but not what they were. I tried listening closely and heard something. "Hmm I can't identify this gem," A voice said. I opened my eyes revealing a Pearl touching my gem that's located on the front of my neck.

"Hey! What are you doing!" I yelled while looking across the room, only to see an amethyst, garnet, and a human. "Can you tell me what your gem is?" Pearl asked curiously. "I don't know," I replied with my gemstone turning light blue. "A gemstone changing colour?" Garnet questioned puzzled.

Everyone moved closer to me to investigate. "Everyone get away!" I yelled as my gem turned black. "Everyone give her some space! Your half gem and half human like me, right?" The human questioned pushing everyone back. "Something like that," I replied with my gem turning purple.

"What's your name?" The human asked. "I'm (Y/N), at least that's what people were calling me," I answered. "My name is Steven Universe." Steven said. "Well I probably should leave," I said with my gem turning dark blue. "Where are you going?" Steven asked. "I don't know yet, I probably won't find anywhere tonight," I replied.

"You can crash here I guess," Amethyst suggested. "Yeah, you look like you need a bath, and a haircut." Pearl said. I agreed and cleaned up a bit by having a shower. I came out of the bathroom and saw Pearl standing about. "Do you have any clothes that I could borrow?" I asked politely. I don't have any extras, but Steven does, I'll be right back." Pearl said as she headed off.

Pearl came back with a shirt that's light blue that has a star in the middle and some black shorts. It looks like what Steven was wearing but blue instead of black. She hands it to me then closes the door. "Thanks Pearl," I said grateful for the clothes while putting them on and also a sweater that was in the washroom to cover up the scars on my arms. "Don't thank me, this is Steven's clothes. We'll go shopping tomorrow." Pearl said. "I'm sorry... but I don't have any money to get any," I said nervously.

"Don't be silly, I wasn't going to let you buy the clothes," Pearl said. "Thank you so much!" I yelled happily. "It's getting pretty late, head up to Steven's room. Here I'll show you where it is," Pearl said leading me into his room. "I'll see you tomorrow (Y/N), goodnight." Pearl said while closing the door behind her.

"Hey Steven, where am I going to sleep?" I asked, thinking it would probably be the floor. "You can sleep on the bed, I'll take the floor." He replied. "But this is your house, I should take the floor!" I said, surprised by his actions. "It'll be fine, you're the guest," He tried to reassure me, but it didn't work.

"I'm not letting you sleep on the floor, it's other I sleep on the floor or we both sleep on the bed," I said acting stubborn. "Okay then I guess it's settled, we're both sleeping on the bed," Steven replied acting stubborn as well.

My gem turned a dark purple, "Do you know why your gem turns colours?" Steven asked. "I guess it reflects my emotions," I answered, still not sure myself. "That's cool! What does purple mean?" Steven asked. "I-I'm not sure," I replied trying to think how I was feeling at the moment, but I couldn't figure it out.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Steven asks while grabbing a remote. "Sure!" I reply. We decided to put on a movie. (Imagine whatever movie) After an hour of the movie it was already 12 am.

Steven's POV:

I started getting really tired when something light fell of my chest. It was (Y/N), I tried to wake her up but she didn't wake up. She must be really tired. My cheeks went light pink as I thought about how she was laying on me. I layed back on my pillow with (Y/N) still on me and fell asleep.
