"You hold the sword like this" Pearl stated as she held the sword out

We were currently in the sky arena because Pearl was teaching me about fencing. I saw her demonstration with Steven a couple of months ago but it ended with Pearl getting wounded. I grabbed the sword out of Pearl's hand. My palms were sweating after hours of practice and I was getting tired from the work.

"Can I take a break now"

Pearl looked at me apprehensivly before complying. I cheered before running to the water bottle that was on the seat. I drank the water as Pearl came to sit with me.

"Why do you want to learn how to fence"

"I want to protect my friends" I said lifting the bottle from my mouth

"Don't we all"

I raised my eyebrows.

"What do you mean"

"It's nothing"

I hate when she do this.

"So Pearl, why did you learn how to sword fight"

"I had to fight in the rebellion with Rose but back then I couldn't summon my weapon"

"Oh"

"Can I be....Honest with you"

"Yeah sure"

"When I look at you or even when you talk to me....all I see is Rose"

My eyes widened.

"Is that why you treat me different"

No answer.

"You are different from her though and I grew to respect the fact that she is gone"

"Pearl what are you getting at"

"I love you, Y/N"

"I love you too"

"No, like more than a friend"

It all makes sense now.

"Pearl, do you love me for me or for Rose"

"I don't know"

"Well make up your mind because I going back to the temple"

I walked away.

Do I love Y/N for Y/N?

I sighed then smiled weakly.

"Short days......Long nights"
