Sometimes, it's easy to forget when White is her regular size, and in her "regular" sized room, you are small. By the time you made it over to the desk with her, she had already answered the phone and started talking. From what you could see, there was no way you'd be able to climb up there yourself.

You tapped White's ankle and asked her to help you. She reached down with her hand to lift you up, and placed you on the table so you could see who was calling. It looked like that boy from the concert, Steven. He immediately stopped talking when he saw you show up.

"White, why do you have a human? Did she kidnap you? I thought we agreed to stop collecting humans for the human zoo."

He crossed his arms and gave white a stern look, he was pretty cute though, so it wasn't all that frightening. On a side note, that human zoo ignited some concerns, you made a mental note to ask white about it later. White just laughed and brushed away Steven's words with the wave of her hand.

"it's alright starlight, this is y/n, I asked them to come along to homeworld with me. I promise, I have no intentions of putting them in the zoo"

White said that with a smile, it sent chills down your spine. You tried to act natural by smiling, especially since Steven still seemed worried about you. He looked at you with some concern in his eyes. You smiled and nodded, indicating White was telling the truth. He sighed and uncrossed his arms.

"Ok, ok, but if you ever have any problems, just call us and the crystal gems will come and save you", he gave you a warm smile, you smiled back.

White scoffed, "they won't need you to save them, they'll be perfectly fine here with me. I'll take good care of them, so don't worry"

"I won't, as long as they have food, water, and a place to sleep." Your face fell, food had completely crossed your mind. Maybe you could try eating whatever White eats, but she doesn't even need to sleep, maybe she doesn't need to eat either.
Hopefully there are things here on homeworld that's edible. Everything looked so high tech, there seemed to be no sign of nature anywhere. This made your stomach rumble, some food would be nice after this talk with Steven.

"Now, back to business. You know there's a lot of things about homeworld that needs to change, for instance, you'll have to change the way you rule and see other lifeforms-", he was interrupted by White's laugh, it wasn't aggressive, more like a chuckle. She rested her head on her hand and cocked a brow at Steven.

"You want me to change everything about homeworld, don't you? It was fine the way it was, flawless. I made sure it was flawless. All this change is only happening cause you revealed a flaw in me. If it wasn't for that flaw, everything would've been fine the way it was", she looked away, seeming quite disappointed in herself.

You felt bad for her. You weren't sure what to do, but she looked like she needed a friend. You couldn't reach her from the desk, so you had to jump down onto her lap. Her legs provided a nice soft landing, then you could walk over to her arm and place your hand on it. White was deep in thought, she didn't notice you land on her leg, but her head perked in your direction when you touched her with your hand. She smiled, took a breath, and lifted you up again while mouthing a small thank you.

"we can talk more about this later, have fun!" you waved and Steven hung up. Then, you looked back up at white, she was just smiling at you. You gave white a look, a goofy, squinted eyes, side smirk kind of look.

"What are you looking at?" you said with a laugh. In reality, her staring was making you nervous, laughing it off felt necessary. White however was baffled, she didn't expect that reaction at all.

"Oh, well I was looking at you", White said that a little quieter than she usually speaks, and she even looked away. She seemed to be making the same face that you make when you're embarrassed, so you stop laughing, walked over to her, and tried to reach for her but almost fell, it seems you have forgotten that you are still short. You got a little frustrated, so you called up to White again.

"He, uh, White, can you do me a favour?" , White finally looked at you again and agreed. "do you think you could shrink again, so that you're the same size as you was before you took that call with Steven?"

"Yeah, I don't see why not. Here, let me take you down first" , White lifted you up and put you back on the ground, then shape-shifted herself so she was back to 'human size'.

"What is it that you need, y/n?", she looked at you with curiosity, while fiddling with her fingers, it was hard to believe that White would seem this nervous. She hasn't done anything like this before, and she was always so calm and collected. You could hardly believe it, it ended up taking you a second to figure out what you wanted to say.

"Oh, right, you seem a little nervous, and you didn't respond very well to Steven wanting to change homeworld, so I just wanted to give you some reassurance. This usually works for me, if you don't mind that is ". White nodded, and allowed you to do whatever you wanted. You placed your hands on her shoulders, gave her a smile, rubbed her a little with your thumbs, then pulled her into a hug. You tried not to hold her too tight, but you also didn't want to linger too loose, cause then it would be awkward. You felt White gasp a little, but then she hugged you back, it was weird though, it seemed as if she has never really hugged anyone before.

You pulled away from the hug, and check to see if it helped White feel a little less nervous. Although, you couldn't really tell why she was nervous, you just assumed it was cuz you called her out on her staring. It's hard to say why she was staring in the first place. "Are you feeling any better now?".

Why didn't seem to know what to say, she just nodded and smiled. "What was that you just did to me?", this confirmed your suspicions, White didn't know what a hug was. You felt a little bad now, hugs have always helped you out, and yet she has never heard of them before.

"That was a hug, haven't you ever gotten one before?", White thought for a second before responding, she pursed her lips and shook her head. "I've heard of them, Pink used to always want hugs, but she was so small. I had no idea that's what they were"

"Well, now that I'm here with you, I believe you'll be getting a few more hugs now. Now, I do have some concerns about that zoo that Stephen mentioned, I shouldn't be worried about that now, should I?"

White laughed, then waved the question away. "Don't worry about that sweetie, I'm not going to put you there so no need to think about it again. What you should be thinking about is that food Steven mentioned instead. I don't believe I've seen you eat yet, how often are you supposed to do that anyway?"

And then you remembered, you were hungry. If White hadn't mentioned it again, you might have gone starving. "Oh yeah, I guess I do need to do that. I usually eat three meals a day, or just a bunch of snacks. Though right now, I am very hungry."

"Say no more, we'll have some food ready for you in no time. We already found a way to make food for the humans in the zoo, so making some for just you should be no problem at all." White then called out to Pearl, when she arrived she was shocked to see White around the same height as her, but didn't say anything about it. White ordered her to get some food for you, she left again.

"Will you be eating as well?", you were hoping White did have to eat, if she did then you two could eat together, and it wouldn't be so awkward having you just eating things by yourself.

"Oh stars no, gems don't need to eat at all", this disappointed you a little, you looked down hoping White wouldn't notice your disappointment, "although, just because we don't need to eat, doesn't mean we can't. I suppose I could try it, I never really wanted to before, but I'll try eating with you".

You got a little overexcited at that, you jumped up a little, and your hands shook with excitement. You realize what you had done and tried to calm yourself down. You used some deep breaths and then smiled. "That would be wonderful, thank you White"
