While the Off Colors and the Crystal Gems talk downstairs a fight between Lars and Steven break out upstairs resulting in the end of their friendship. But is there more to what the son of Pink Diamond is letting on? Are personal feelings involved? A...
The next day Steven had to go to the Big Donut. Since Amethyst ate out her supply yesterday and threatened to make trouble, he was selected for the task. Pearl said it would teach him "leadership and responsibility". All he knows it's a waste of time. If she needs donuts she should just get them herself. He entered the shop, the cool AC hitting his skin reminding him just how warm it is right about now. "Hey Steven." Sadie greeted him. "Hey." he waved at her. At that moment he saw Lars in the background mopping the floor. "Hi Lars...." he tried to be friendly. "Hi." he didn't even look up from what he was doing. Steven decided NOT to push it.
"Steven is everything okay between you and Lars.....? I mean he showed up at my house VERY upset about something but when I asked about it he.....yelled at me and didn't even apologize." Sadie whispered to Steven leaning over the counter. Steven opened his mouth to say something but just as he did he saw the death light in Lars' eyes.

*Kind of looked like that minus Amethyst*
"I - it was nothing. Just a stupid argument..." he lied. Just then both of them jumped. Lars had dropped the mop and was glaring at Steven. "I'm going outside." His voice was strangely cold and distant. He walked slowly towards the door slamming it roughly.
"Aren't you gonna follow?" Sadie questioned as the son of Rose Quartz stared at the door his hand frozen mid-air. "No..." He sighed.

He soon left the shop with a bag full of the pastries. As he rounded the corner he stopped. Lars was leaning against the wall, his mind in another universe...at least that what it seemed. "Uh, are you okay?" Steven asked awkwardly. Lars turned around so fast it startled him. "Didn't I tell you TO LEAVE ME ALONE?!?" He yelled. "I-" "I DON'T want to hear any of your stupid EXCUSES!!!" He turned away, his eyes gleamed. Steven stood there motionless. He felt it all come back; the pain, the hurt pride, the feelings...? He felt his eyes well up with tears, his hand shook and clenched into a fist. A deafening silence followed, save the shaky breathing of Steven. He slowly backed away. If Lars wanted to be left alone then so be it. He kept backing up until he rounded the corner then ran in the opposite direction...
