Your P.O.V
I had just moved to Beach City a few days ago, I had already began to unpack the boxes, unpacking them 1 room at a time. My dad, as always, was passed out on the couch, 2 beer bottles on top of him and 3 lying on the floor next to the couch. I look at him, watching to see if his chest moves up and down, to see if he was still breathing, he was, I finish unpacking the kitchen stuff and my stomach growls. I walk up to my dad carefully, trying not to startle him too much, I shake him gently to wake him up.
"Daddd" I whisper softly
"Hm?" He says half asleep, his eyes still closed
"I'm going to go out to get some food and explore the city, do you want anything while I'm out?" I say, still trying to speak softly, knowing he probably has a headache
"Mmm, nuh uh" he grunts sleepily and goes back to sleep
"Ok, sleep tight dad" I say while putting a blanket over him
I grab my keys, wallet, my phone and zip up hoodie and head out. I put my hoodie on and stuff my wallet, phone and keys in the right pocket after locking the door behind me, knowing full well my dad will stay asleep the rest of the afternoon.
I walk around for a bit, explore what's available in the tiny suburb I now live in. I see an arcade, a fry shop, a donut shop, a fish pizza shop?
'Why would fish pizza be a thing? Wouldn't that be gross?' I think in disgust about what fish pizza would taste like
I see a dock with carnival rides and games on it. I ask myself if that's safe to have heavy carnival rides on a dock above the ocean, but brush it off and keep walking. I've finally walked enough and think to take a break, I go back to the donut shop
"The Big Donut, hmmm" I read the sign
I enter The Big Donut and see a short, not fat but not exactly skinny, girl with blonde hair and a tall, skinny, boy with a kinda fluffy, curly, brownish mohawk, and spacers in his ears, at the front counter. The girl was unpacking boxes while the boy seemed to be slacking off. I walked up to the counter, waiting to be served
"Lars, I've kinda got my hands full, can you serve?" The girl says to the boy
'Lars? Thats a weird name'
"Ughhh, fineeee" Lars says, sounding annoyed he actually has to work
'Someone needs to have a talk with him about actually doing his job instead of slacking off and leaving all the work to this poor girl' I think to myself, disgusted in his behaviour
"Hi, welcome to The Big Donut, how may i help you today?" Lars says, sounding like a robot
"Ummm, I'll take a (favourite donut) please" I say, trying to act cheerful even though I'm disgusted in his slacking off
"Sure, is there anything else i can help you with?" He says, still sounding like a robot
"Um, no thank you, that'll do for me" I say
"Great, Sadie, one (favourite donut)!" Lars yells before going to the back where I cant see him
'Wow, just wow, how does this guy have a job?' I think to myself
"Lars!! Where are you- Nevermind, I'll do it myself" The girl says, it sounds like she's used to him doing this. She struggles to put the box down and rush to go complete my order.
"Hey, it's ok, I'm in no rush, take as long as you need, I can wait" I say, trying to ease her.
"Thanks, hey, I'm Sadie by the way, but you probably already figured that out, thanks to Lars, the guy who, kinda, served you" Sadie introduces herself as she reaches her hand out to me, I shake it and introduce myself.
"Hello, I'm (y/n), it's nice to meet you, and Lars too, i guess, he's um, quite the character" I try not to insult him
"Yeahhh, anyways, I'll get your donut now" Sadie says, seemingly trying to change the subject.
She bends out and gets my donut. I suddenly hear the bell on the door ring, signalling another customer has come in, I move out of the line so they can order, and turn around to see a small chubby boy walk in, he has black curly hair and he's wearing a red shirt with a yellow star on it, long jeans, and pinkish red thongs. Sadie lifts her head and hands me my donut, she noticed the boy has entered and says
"Steven! How are you? I haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?"
I quickly thank Sadie for my donut and exit The Big Donut, I sit at one of the tables in front of The Big Donut and begin to eat my donut and take out my phone, I think about my old home, I miss my old best friend, I click on contacts and scroll to their contact, contemplating calling them. I sigh and put my phone on the table with the screen on the table and just finish eating my donut. I hear the door open and hear the small boy saying goodbye to Sadie with a bag of donuts in his hand, he notices me sitting at the table by myself and goes over and introduces himself.
"Um hi, sorry if I'm disturbing you, you looked lonely sitting here by yourself, I'm Steven, are you new here?"
'Is it that obvious? Do i reek of loneliness and desperation?' I think to myself, wondering how he could tell so quickly
"Hi, um, no you're not disturbing me, I'm (y/n), you're welcome to join me" I say gesturing to a seat
'Oh my gosh, did i really just say that!? Now he's going to think I'm desperate for friends and that I'm uncool or something, ugh, what is wrong with meeeee?' I think to myself, regretting saying anything
"Thanks!" He said with a big smile on his face.
<~~ Time Skip ~~>
We talk for a bit until the sun begins to set, I look at the time and realise it's 5:45pm
"It's getting late, I have to go, my dad will go psycho if I'm not home before the sun sets, it was nice meeting you, maybe we can do it again sometime" I say
"Yeah, in a town this small I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough, we can hang out again next time we do" Steven says to me
I get up and wave goodbye before running home, thinking about the next time we met up.

Steven's P.O.V
After (y/n) leaves, i head back to the temple. I walk through the door and I'm greeted by the gems
"Yo Steven, where have you been? You were supposed to come back with my donuts 2 hours ago man, i was hungryyyy" Amethyst whines
"Sorry Amethyst, but while i was there i met this girl, she's new in Beach City and thought she
could use a friend, so i introduced myself and we talked, i guess we talked longer then it felt" I explain
"Ooooohhh, Ste-man got a new girlfrienddd" Amethyst teased
"I do not!!" I say, embarrassed Amethyst would even say that.
<~~Time Skip~~>
I get ready for bed and hop in under the covers, i wonder when I'll get to met up with (y/n), she looked kinda upset, or worried about something.
I drift off to sleep, hoping we'd met again soon, hopefully I'll be able to introduce her to the gems, i get a special kind of feeling from her, like there's something about her that is special or familiar in her but i can't put my finger on it.
