Steven Universe: Only Fuse with You (Peridot x Lapis)

Chapter 8

NOTES: There are literally no conferences for me to set up during my night shift, so what do I do? Yes, I write another chapter. Better make the most of it, because I won't be loading any more until Sunday or Monday.

This chapter will contain some strong language.

Lapis got up and was about to run towards Peridot but was then snatched in the grasp of Yellow Diamond. Lapis screamed, Peridot wanted to help but was held back by the Yellow Pearl. Yellow Diamond started to squeeze Lapis...as she struggled to move in the grasp and couldn't even activate her wings from her gem.

PERIDOT: WAIT! DON'T HURT HER! PLEASE!

YELLOW DIAMOND: Then...tell me what I want to know! NOW! Or I'll crush her...

LAPIS: No, Peridot! Don't tell her...s-she'll kill you...

PERIDOT: And I want you to live, Lapis. I love you, my sweet blue gem...

LAPIS: No...Peridot, don't...

PERIDOT: I...have to...(To yellow diamond) You want to know about the cluster? I'll tell you...then you let her go!

Yellow Diamond looks at Lapis with slight disgust...then slowly turns her head back to Peridot, giving her a very sly smile.

YELLOW DIAMOND: Very well. Now, tell me!

LAPIS: NO!

YELLOW DIAMOND: SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!

PERIDOT: Lapis...it's okay...

LAPIS: (Stars crying) N-No...Peridot...

YELLOW DIAMOND: Continue, before I crush this blue gem!

PERIDOT: The cluster...w-well, it's stopped growing!

YELLOW DIAMOND: It...stopped growing. Why?

PERIDOT: Uh...b-because...

Don't involve Steven, she does not know of his existence...

PERIDOT: Uh...I did. I...trapped it.

YELLOW DIAMOND: You trapped it, that's impossible!

PERIDOT: (Almost smug) I guess I'm just a useless little Peridot.

YELLOW DIAMOND: (Angry) HOW? WHY?

PERIDOT: I've kept the cluster in a bubble. It didn't want to destroy the Earth, it just wanted to...adapt to its surroundings. The Earth is a resource of life...I cannot allow that planet, that beautiful planet, to be destroyed...not by you, not by anybody. It's my home now...

YELLOW DIAMOND: You...TRAITORING LITTLE RUNT! (Squeezes Lapis even harder)

PERIDOT: (Worried) Now...n-now let her go! I said what you wanted to know, guaranteed it wasn't what you wanted to hear but...nonetheless I've told you! Now let her go!

YELLOW DIAMOND: (Sly) Why should I?

PERIDOT: It's not her you want! It's me! Little useless Peridot!

LAPIS: (Struggling) Peridot...no...

PERIDOT: Let her go! I'm the one you want, not her! Deal with...m-me...
