Little fluffs for you Steven Universe people

Casualties

A/N: Major character death, have fun! (I wrote this for one of my classes; I may make it longer later)

           The only thing that could be heard was a single, excruciatingly long scream, an empty, sorrowful sound. She sat there and cried for what felt like hours, no one came to her aid, she was alone. That knowledge, however, was the least of Pearl's sorrows; because in her hands were the shards of her lover.

Amethyst.

          She was gone; never to come back; not even the most powerful gem in the entire galaxy could reverse the damage done. No one would ever see the sweet gem again, no one would ever hear her sweet words or her loveable giggle, no one would ever matter as much to Pearl as Amethyst did. Earth was once again a battlefield. A deathtrap. Pearl knew at the beginning that they wouldn't win, they were easily outnumbered; even after months of fighting.

           She knew they would lose, but she never expected this. No matter how much she didn't accept it, it was true; the evidence was right in front of her. Hundred of tiny violet shards filled in the battle-worn crevices of Pearl's hands. Shards that were thousands of years old, but so young at the same time... Memories flooded Pearl's mind, memories of the first day they met, the first time they fused, and, the most painful, their first kiss. The first time they kissed it was gentle, long, and passionate; each gem silently rejoiced at the knowledge that the other loved them back with the same amount of force.

          That was only three years ago. Three years out of the thousands they had loved each other. Thousands of more years they could have spent together. Thousands more memories that could have been created.

          "...Pearl." She slowly looked up at the familiar voice, it was Garnet, "Pearl... may I see?" She questioned, not looking forward to what Pearl was going to show her, but she needed it to be confirmed. Was her friend really, truely, gone?

Pearl hesitated, but soon unfurled her hands. Garnet couldn't help the tears that streaked down her face at the sight. So many memories were blending together into a storm of emotions, but she didn't unfuse. She had to stay strong for Pearl.

"Garnet... did you know?" Pearl asked in a hoarse whisper. Garnet took a sharp breath.

"No... I-I didn't even see this as a possibility." She paused, collecting herself as best she could "I'm so sorry." (400)
