Human

Chapter 2: Party boy

People were tightly pressing on each other as they were dancing to the rhythm of the music. Even Steven, the one and only savior of the galaxy, was excitedly playing along with the small crow. A group of young people had invited him to a party nearby and the boy couldn't resist such an opportunity to get along with more humans. And to be honest, he was quite enjoying himself, the music was good and the people were nice even if he had just met him.

But after some time, he got tired so he decided to go to the back yard of the house they were in. There in the grass was the original group that had invited him to this party.

"Steven! Come here, party boy." An energetic brunette girl said as she immediately made him a seat just next to here." we were just talking about you"

"Really?"Steven sat down

"Yeah, you're really great. Nowadays is hard to find tourist like you." A calm blond boy wearing a hoddie mentioned. "All of then are so entitled and rude"

"And also you came to our party, that's cool, are you having fun, handsome ?"Added a redhead with heavy makeup and an excentric club dress.

"A lot. Thank you for the invitation." Steven was slightly blushed by the girl's comment. "You are also really cool"

"No problem, anyway, aren't you from the coast of Delmarva?" The brunette slyly interjected.

"Drop it, you're gonna scare him, those rumors are nothing but lies" The blond lightly shook the brunette.

"Well, I'm from Delmarva from a little place called Beach city" Steven was beginning to get curious.

"I KNEW IT"The girl's wicked smile grew "So have you seen an alien or something like that"

Steven froze on the spot. Since he has started his journey he has deliberately avoided anything making allusion to the gem culture, and he had success. At least until this moment.
"Yeah. There have been tons of rumors and histories of aliens there. Actually I have this cousin that traveled there and said he saw by himself these weird shaped creatures and their crazy houses" The girl continued ignoring the shocked boy.

"That's bullshit. Your cousin said there as an entire town full of them. If there was an actual town there would be no way they could hide" The redhead was getting fed up. "There's no evidence, any photo, any clip, ANYTHING"

"Yeah, I'm sorry girl. But there's no way the government would allow a bunch of little green men stays on earth for free" The blond agreed

"..." Steven's expression shocked expression grew.

"But there's evidence, Just look"The stubborn girl quickly searched on her phone and passed it.

"What's this? This looks like a weeb on a silly costume" All of them got closer to look at the phone, trapping Steven in the middle.

"In not into anime or comics, but I think it's called cosplay. And Also It could be photoshop or something like that" The blond pointed at the photo on the screen. It was Peridot.

"Yeah, digital artists are getting too real. Have you seen those movies with crazy effects? Anything can be computer-generated even the whole city" The redhead dismissed

"What you say, Steven, Have you seen something weird over there?" The gem-hybrid was dumbfounded. The boy just stared at them as they grew uncomfortable by his reaction.

"Are you okay, Steven?"

Embarrassed, shocked, kinda scared. Steven just felt too much. But another, more alarming, sensation took over him. An overbearing heat that started on his cheeks. The boy touched his face but his body whole body was already glowing in a familiar pink tint.

"...Oh my god"

"WHAT'S HAPPENING? SOMEONE CALL 911"

"STEVEN TALK TO US"

The group panicked as they slowly moved away from him. Steven tearfully looked at his hands.

"Guys, Don't worry it's normal" The hybrid tried to reach them. "It's just my gem part..."

"HOW IS THIS NORMAL?"

"YOU'RE GLOWING FUCKING PINK"

The glowing boy reacted badly to a certain word and his head got swollen for a moment as it used to happen back in his home.

"LET'S GETAWAY. HE IS A DAMN FREAK"

"DON'T TOUCH HIM. IT MAY BE CONTAGIOUS"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

"Please, don't go... don't leave me alone" Steven started to shred some tears, as the panic took over him.

"Don't leave alone." The despair took over his voice. "Not again"

The group began to run away before he could react. The pink boy didn't follow, he had to compose himself first. Gladly the noisy party had cover up the group screams, or at least the Steven thought that as the turn his head to look at the party.

Another girl looked at him behind the glass door that kept the actual party inside the house. She had the same terrified expression his previous group had worn before, then she let a bloody scream interrupt the party drawing all the attention to Steven.

Then the sound started to fade as screams and hurtful accusations mixed with each other and people got out of the house starting a stampede. Drowning in the middle of the crown as all sensations intensified.

The hurt, the betrayal, the despair, and the fear.

And then he woke up. In the middle of the night covered in cold sweat.

He was again on his car. He tried to shook off that memory but it was just so much sleeping. He turns to look at the girl he had helped the night before. She was covered by the blanket he has lend her but otherwise she appeared to be deeply asleep. And the boy curled up and let himself silently cry.

He tried to comfort himself while dozing off once more.

It's so weird to see my own fic on my fic>u<

Here is the second chapter. I'm trying to make the next ones longer;u; . While, I hope you liked this one <3. I'm trying to add more of Steven's previous experiences to set the mood and base future actions, so I'm adding them in his dreams. It's fine like that? Do you have any suggestions?

Any comments are appreciated. They really motivate me to write a little faster.
