AN: HIII THERES ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING SCENE THAT IS GONE. ITS GONE NOW. IF YOURE READING FOR THE FIRST TIME DONT WORRY ABOUT, ITS GONE.

"what?" you were caught completely off guard. you expected Steven to yell, maybe even apologize? but 'let me see your wrists'?

"i'm sorry, i didn't even- wow." He groaned. "it just kind of, like, came out of my mouth."

"what did Lapis say to you?" she was one of the few people who knew you had issues with self harm, and she pulled Steven off to the side a few hours ago to talk to him.

"nothing, she just hinted at some things." he trailed off, and you put your arms behind your back nervously.

"well, even if there was something to show it's none of your business." You took a cautious step back.

"i know, i'm sorry." he shook his head in shame. "it really just- i didn't even think before i said it."

you put your hand on the doorknob. "i think i'm gonna go..."

he nodded understandingly, and you saw a shiny pink color starting to cover his cheeks like blush. "i'm sorry. i just want to help." he whispered.

"it's okay, Steven. i just need some alone time." you dared to step forward once more, squeezing his arm. "i'll text you when i get home, okay?"

he glanced up, eyes a little watery. "yeah, okay."

-.-.-.-.-
Steven sat on his bed, deep in thought. he stared at your contact, your most recent text flashing on his screen.

You: i'm home

You: i'm not angry

i cant believe i asked that, how insensitive of me. i put her in such an uncomfortable position. she probably hates me now.

he sighed. he felt horrible. he doesn't want to push you into talking about something you aren't ready for, but at the same time he knows you probably won't reach out to him on your own. he walked downstairs slowly, heading towards the kitchen to make some dinner. the house was dark and quiet.

he was in the kitchen when someone knocked on his door, making him jump. he looked up in surprise, and saw you nervously tapping your foot on the ground, overnight bag in hand.

(edited! sorry it's so short, it used to be longer before i removed a very insensitive scene but i didn't know how to replace it!)
