Steven x reader (Steven Universe)

chapter 11

Y/n's POV

I quickly close my eyes. Nothing happened at first. Just as I was about to open them again, I felt something disgusting. Steven licked my cheek. I quickly push him again and fall out of the bed backwards. As I'm cleaning the disgusting spit away, Steven was just rolling back and forth in his bed, almost dying of laughter.
"Why did you do that?!" I stand up and yell at him, flustered. He wipes off a tear from his eyes because of all that laughter.
"Just to tease you." He smirks at me. I blush in the dark room and start hitting him lightly as he keeps on laughing.
"You. Are. Such. An. Idiot!" I yell at him once again but not too loudly like before.
"I'm sorry!" he answers jokingly while I was still hitting him. I then take a pillow and throw it at him. He stays still for a moment before smirking and chuckling.

"You dare start a war with me?" he stands up on the bed and points at himself. He was looking down on me. I realised what he meant and quickly grabbed a few pillows. I could only grab a few since Steven was blocking the way. There were tons of them on the bed. I didn't know why he even needed so many. He took one and threw it at me. I dodged it just in time and threw one myself. It hit him but then he takes another pillow and starts hitting me with it. We were both laughing. The laugher filled the room. I dropped the pillows I was holding and rushed down the stairs as he was following me. There were more of them on the couch. I grabbed one and threw it at him. It hit his face and I couldn't stop laughing while running around the living room and the kitchen. I didn't know if the gems could hear us laughing but I didn't care. I was having so much fun. I could tell that he was too. We were like little kids again.

While running from him, I trip and land on the cold ground. Steven couldn't stop in time and also landed on me.
"Ugh..." Was the only noise I could let out. I open my eyes. Steven was on top of me, both of his hands on each side above my shoulders. He was huffing, same as me. We both blush because of the position we we're both in. The light from the moon lit up the room, shining on both of us. I could now see that he was also blushing. Why? He has a girlfriend so why is he blushing for me? I clear my throat.
"Would you mind getting off of me?" I give him a nervous smile.
"Oh, r-right. Of course." He says as he does so. We stayed silent for a moment.
"Let's just go to sleep already" He finally breaks the silence and starts heading upstairs. I quickly follow after him while picking up the pillows that were on the ground. After we reach his bedroom, he plops down onto the bed. I throw a pillow at him.
"Give me some space on the bed too". And with a grunt he slides to the other side so his back would face me. I finally lie down on the bed and face his back. It was already hot in the room so we didn't need blankets. The moon lit image of his back made it feel familiar, like I've already did this with someone else. Just moments after thinking that, my eyes close on their own and I drift to sleep.

Steven's POV

I get woken up by something blinding. The sun was shining brightly into my room. I grunt and slowly sit up on my bed. My muscles felt sore and I still felt very tired but I knew I couldn't fall back asleep. I look to my side while yawning and see Y/n sleeping there peacefully. Her mouth was open a bit. I smile to myself and carefully get out of bed, dress up with new clothes and leave the room as quietly as I can to now wake her up. I head downstairs. There were still a few pillows on the ground. The couch was a mess. I quickly clean everything up and head to the kitchen to make myself and Y/n some breakfast. It was around 9am so I assumed she was going to wake up soon. After I finish, I place out food in plates. I leave hers in the kitchen while I take mine and bring it to the living room. It was very quiet. The gems were already at little Homeworld. They go there more and more often now. I don't blame them though.

I decide to not turn on the TV and enjoy my breakfast like this. As soon as I bite into the food, I remember Y/n's laughter from this night. I felt my cheeks become hot. What is wrong with me? Her laughter is stuck in my mind. Her smile, the way she looked at me, the way she blushes and giggles. Even Connie doesn't do that anymore. My cheeks became hotter and hotter. I felt like a little kid. But I'm not. So I need to get rid of these thoughts. I know it'll be hard but I need to not give up. I slap my cheeks to snap out of these thoughts.
"Steven?" I turn my head and see Y/n on the stairs, yawning.
"What are you doing, silly?" She giggles as she walks down the stairs and into the kitchen. I kept looking at her stunned. Once she steps out of the kitchen with her plate, she stops and puts her free hand on her hip.
"You've been staring at me this whole morning now. Is something the matter?" I shake my head and pat on the couch next to me.

"It's nothing. Come on, let's just eat." She sighs and sits down next to me. I continue eating while glancing a few times at her. She turned on TV and didn't pay attention to me. I had no idea what was with me. Am I starting to crush on her? But that can't be. She pauses the TV which once again made me snap out of my thoughts.
"Steven, I know you were glancing at me while I ate. Just tell me. Is there something on my face?" I think for a moment while looking at her with my mouth open.
"Yeah...there is..." I slowly lean into her and place my hand on her cheek. My thumb was very close to her lips. I didn't break eye contact. Her face was heating up. I was getting closer and closer to her face. I felt her breath near my lips. It was like I was dazed. I had no idea what I was doing but I just went with it. She didn't move from where she was sitting. By this point I thought that she was going to push me away but that didn't happen. Our lips finally met. We both closed our eyes and fell into a deep and passionate kiss. I got on top of her and pinned her hands to the couch, still not breaking away from the kiss. My body was just doing things on it's own. A moment later, I puller away, only a string of saliva connecting us. I has huffing and so was she. Her face was completely red. I realised what I was doing and quickly got off of her. She sat up and wiped her lips. I was scratching the rubbing the back of my neck nervously.
"Y-Y/n... I'm sorry... I-I didn't know what I was doing. I-" before I could finish my sentence, she stands up and takes our plates to the kitchen without saying anything. Her face wasn't red anymore either. What just happened?
