A Fractured Reflection

Chapter 22 A Day Gone Wrong

Normal Pov.

Steven was laying on a pile of hay inside the barn with both Lapis and Peridot on top of him. The two sleeping pleased smiles on their faces. Steven couldn't help but chuckle at the memorie of last nights events.

Steven:"*Chuckles* Who knew that their gems would be so sensitive"

Slowly Steven pulled his two lovers off of himself and gently placed them onto the hay. Steven then got up and stretched his limbs, hearing an audible pop and crack from his joints. Once done he walks out of the barn. Taking a look around he saw nothing but the open fields but for some reason he was getting a bad feeling that something was about to happen. He didn't get time to dwell on this feeling as he heard the sound of his lovers waking up. Turning around he saw the two yawning and rubbing their eyes with some noticeable bedhead. Cracking a smile he greeted the two.

Steven:"Good morning you two, sleep well?"

The two slowly blinked before registering what he said.

Lapis:"*Yawn* Good morning Steven"

Peridot:"*Groggy* What she said"

They both got off the hay bed and stretched before walking over to him. Lapis reached up on her toes and kissed him. Peridot tried to do the same but was too short so Steven had to pick her up so she can kiss him. Setting her down the three then just stood there enjoying the breeze and each others company.

Steven:"So what do you girls want to do today?"

Lapis:"*Thoughtful* Well we could go down to Beach City and have fun at the beach"

Peridot:"That actually sounds like fun!"

Steven:"*Sigh* Alright well head to the beach"

The three make their way towards the warp pad and warp away.

..................................

When the beam died down the three found themselves inside of the beach house. It seems that nobody is home; which is fine since Steven didn't feel like dealing with the gems right now. As they made their way through the house Steven couldn't help but notice how nothing seems to have changed since he went to the barn. He guessed that Pearl made sure everything stayed just the way it was when he left. Shaking his head he continued outside with Lapis and Peridot.

The moment they stepped out the suns rays beat down on them. They shield their eyes from the blinding sun as their eyes adjust to the light. After a moment they continue their way onto the beach.

Steven:"You two just gonna go in like that?"

He gestured to their outfits, which were the ones they always wear. They look down at their outfits before looking at each other. With a smirk on their faces they were consumed in a bright light, Steven had to shield his eyes a second time just so he didn't go blind. When the light died down Steven gaped. There Lapis and Peridot stood in what he could see was their bathing suits.

Lapis had a strapless bikini top, one side dark blue and the other side light blue. The bottom was dark blue with a shear light blue wrap to match.

Peridot wore a dark green one piece with light green stripes. The suit itself was form fitting, leaving little to the imagination.

The two gems checked out their forms, liking the look, before turning to Steven for an opinion. He was literally drooling at the site of them. Seeing this the two giggled and struck a pose.

Lapis:"Like what you see Steven~"

Peridot:"Are you pleased~"

It took him a minute to compose himself before replying.
