Y/n's POV

Steven looked at me pissed. Why? Even if I didn't understand that, I was shaking. At first, he tried to escape from my grasp but it didn't work, I was a bit too strong so he just stood there while I was just looking at him. My mouth was open but I did not dare to speak. I eventually took a glance to the gems for help but they just shrugged, terrified not for themselves but for me. Crap... Steven kept looking at me with those pink diamond eyes. What the hell do I do??
"Uhh heyyyy S-Stevenn, how did y-you sleep?" I said with a nervous fake smile, while mentally face palming myself. Sleep, really Y/n?! He doesn't say anything, just continues staring which now is making me uncomfortable. A minute or so pass and he isn't saying anything. The gems just stand there looking at me or rather more at Steven. I, unlike them, was getting quite annoyed now.
"Speak will you? I do not plan to stand here for the rest of the day while you're making me and the others uncomfortable. If you had trouble sleeping, that does not mean you can just come down here and lash out on us." I say that as I straighten my back, still holding his hand firmly with now an angry glare. The gems stare at me shocked, like I did something bad but I did not regret a single word I just said to him. He, out of nowhere, comes closer to my face. My back was still straight as ever and my angry expression didn't change. He smirks at me.
"The more I look at you, the more I hate your guts. How dare you talk back to a Diamond. You know I could just kill you right here and now but I'll keep you, since I haven't gone anywhere for a while now. You might be fun to have around. But keep in mind that if you cause me any trouble or annoy me even more, I'll make you suffer for your stupid actions. Now let go of my hand this instant." That statement scared me so much I almost started crying. I don't know why. He backed away as I took a deep breath.

After what he said, I quickly to let go of his hand. There were clear marks of my fingers on his wrist. Am I really that strong? He didn't seem bothered by it though. The gems were still standing where they were all this time. I was a bit annoyed that they didn't do anything to help me. Steven, now with his back turned to me, began to walk towards Pearl. I gasped since I thought all of this would just end like that. As I try rushing to them, a light pink see-through wall made out of diamond shapes appeared. I tried breaking through it but it didn't work. He was getting closer and closer to Pearl while she was slowly backing away, quietly repeating the word 'no...' over and over again.
"How many more secrets do you plan on keeping away from me, Pearl?"
Still not giving up, I keep punching the wall, trying my best to ignore the huge pain I was feeling from it. It looked like Amethyst and Garnet were talking quietly so I couldn't hear what they were saying. 'Why aren't they doing anything? Why don't they protect her? Why is Steven doing this? Why must I be so weak?!' With all my strength, I use my flame power to support my punch and the wall finally breaks, leaving me with bleeding broken knuckles. The sound of glass breaking filled the room as Amethyst and Garnet nodded to each other, one rushing to me while the other went to get something. In shock of what just happened, Steven turned to see me gasping for air as I was looking at him with my tired eyes. He noticed my bleeding knuckles. Still extremely exhausted, I point my finger at him.
"D-don't you dare t-take another step Universe..."

I collapse on the ground. That punch took everything out of me. Amethyst was kneeling down next to me, asking me if I needed anything. Soon after, Garnet came with a medical kit as well as water and some towels to clean up the wounds. Steven was just standing there, still in total shock because of what I just did. Pearl was sitting against the crystal pad, now looking at me and the other gems. I felt that she was scared and anxious. With my last bit of strength, I held up my hand and a little rainbow like flame appeared. Everyones eyes were on it. I moved it towards Pearl. She held out her palms, amazed. Steven moved out of the way, his gaze still following the strange flame. It lands into Pearls hands, her eyes were reflecting the little beautiful flame as it almost like melted into her palms. I could feel that she was beginning to calm down slowly. She was soon calm and stood up with no fear whatsoever. All of this made Steven even more confused and shocked. Both of them once again turned to me but only Pearl rushed help me. She thanked me for helping her as I just nodded and smiled lightly. Healing takes a lot of energy out of me. Garnet cleaned up my knuckles. Amethyst was still next to me all this time. Pearl waited for them to finish so she could lay me down in Steven's bed to rest. All of them didn't even ask him for permission. I thanked all of them and then finally pass out.

Steven's POV

It was already evening. The sky was forming it's beautiful colors as the ocean waves crashed into the beach calmly. The wind was blowing peacefully, scattering some sand into the warm air. People and gems along were walking around Beach city, talking and greeting one another while smiling. I was sitting next to Y/n who was still passed out and now resting in my bed. The gems would sometimes come in and out to check up on her. They offered me to get some rest as well but I refused. I will not sleep until Y/n tells me what the hell all of that was. How could she have broken through my barrier? How was that flame of hers rainbow? I just sighed. The others didn't even let me heal her knuckles. Guess I'll just ask her when she wakes up. This day is so weird. I take her bandaged hands and hold them in mine. They felt warm. Her mouth was open a bit and her breathing was slow, peaceful. I moved a strand of her hair behind her ear. Now that I look closer, she was beautiful. As I'm about to place my hand on her cheek, I see her eyes twitch which makes me immediately pull away. Y/n opens her e/c eyes slowly and I clear my throat. She turns to me. Should I say something? Why am I so flustered though?
"S-so...how are you feeling?" I ask her nervously. This is the first time in 2 years that I've been nice with someone. It feels weird but yet good.
"Alright, I g-guess. My hands just hurt a bit." She says as she looks down into her neatly bandaged hands. I saw her smile a bit. She then clenched her hands into fists, making me worried as I stand up from my chair. Shouldn't that hurt? I can see her grunt a bit because of the pain but then some light appeared inside her clenched fists and  disappeared. She opened her hands once again. I looked at her with my mouth open and she just nodded, already knowing what I was going to ask. Y/n unbandages her hands and they were healed.
"Amazing..." I mutter under my breath. Looks like she heard it. I've never seen anyone heal themselves or someone else before except myself.
"Indeed." We both look at each other and she smiles once again at me. I just gulp, not saying anything, sitting back onto my chair.
"Are you being nice to me right now so I could answer your questions?" She said. How did she know?
"Yes..." She giggles.
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to answer all of your questions but I am going to answer what I know. So ask away." I nod to her. Where should I start?



thanks so much for reading! Why is it so much easier for me to write tragic stuff instead of calm and peaceful moments?
