⠀ with feeling confused, some suspicion arose along side it. he acted just like her . . it was odd. “ . . what’s your name ? “ as he mentioned how her name was wonderful, spinel’s gem would glow less and less. even though she found this whole situation to be weird, she still kept note that he wasn’t being mean towards her. the tone and body language was showing and it made her not all that scared. but, her own body language was the opposite— showing that she was nervous. ⠀ ⠀

@HEARTSNTEARS ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ A warm smile appeared over his face. One that she could've easily wished to see again, was beamed directly towards her. The 𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑴𝑶𝑵𝑫'𝑺 tone softened up even more, only to become slightly playful. ❝ Spinel? Oh that is a wonderful name! ❞ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀ @hybrid_savior after thousands of years, the garden was still standing — it didn’t look like anything from the beginning but it still existed. the gem got tired of waiting and went to go sit by some rocks, pigtails lowered behind her head. pink pupils staring down at the ground, she felt beyond saddened that she never came back. or really anyone, for that matter.⠀ ⠀

⠀ the upside heart gem glowed as it was letting spinel’s distress more known. when the other spoke and moved onto his knees, her pigtails slightly raised up since seconds before they were all the way down. “ . . . “ she shook slightly until speaking up. “ . . spinel. “ her upsetting eyes would narrow a bit as she looked at him, those eyes were just like hers. it hurt to see that. but seeing him show no harm towards her— was a bit relieving. ⠀ ⠀

@HEARTSNTEARS ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❝ H-Hey . . . It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you or anything…~ ❞ Placing the sword beside him, and sitting down on his knees. His body language conveyed a welcomeness & docile nature. ❝ Do you . . . have a name…? ❞ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀ it was only several feet away until the gem stopped running and stood once again. her own pink colored eyes instantly took notice to the other’s familiar eyes— it looked just like 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐊’𝐬. feeling quite unsure what was happening and who this was, she took a few steps back, a sad look both in her eyes and on her face. . . 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. a feeling she hasn’t felt in a long time. ⠀ ⠀

@HEARTSNTEARS Upon the warp pad's light source dimming to no longer stay glowing, there revealed to be a much smaller stature individual. The clothes he beared, the weapon he kept close him… Those Diamond like eyes were exactly like . . . 𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬… Their familiarity to Pink was uncanny.

⠀ upon hearing the warp pad’s sounds, spinel’s pupils shrank— she swore she felt her heart skip a beat or two. was that . . pink ?? scrambling to get up, her back was facing in the opposite direction so she adjusted her body and ran towards where the warp pad was located. it’s been so many years … at last, she wasn’t alone anymore ! ⠀ ⠀

@HEARTSNTEARS ➤ Could this have been the poor gem's shining beacon of hope…?

⠀ she’s * BORED. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ “ how come ?? what happened now—?? “ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ the gem sighed heavily as she sank into steven’s hold, trying to get the courage to at least speak one word .. “ i-i— … “ she stuttered out at first. “ steven, i-i’m s-sorry. “ she will keep saying sorry for as long as she has to …⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ spinel felt herself breaking into steven’s grip, her gem losing its glow too. she couldn’t talk, even she tried to speak a few words but it all came out as a random stuttering mess. pulled back some to look at him in the eyes, her own glows. she felt guilty. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ the pink gem was shaking in his grasp, her face being nice and hidden in his back. she was fully aware of what she did and said to her best friend, her pigtails slowly lowering as the sobbing from her continued for awhile longer. she didn’t know what to do. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ she stared into his eyes with remorse, guilt, regret.. no more of that cold stare like before. her grip on steven let loose a bit but was still pretty tight. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ she let herself listen to his words, sighing shakily as she continued to cry for a few more moments before raising her face up and off his shoulder. tears running down her cheeks, wiping at her nose with a sniffle. ❝ i-it’s n-not, i just hurt you.. again! ❞ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ that brightly glowing heart gem already lost its glow as her body was all tense and what not. as she cried, she muffled out a couple of words to say to her best friend. ❝ 𝐢-𝐢-𝐢’𝐦. . 𝐬-𝐬-𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 .. ❞ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ she tensed up a tad once grabbed by her hands and then pulled into a firm hug, breaking down much more now. ❝ 𝙞-𝙞-𝙞— ❞ slowly unclenching her firsts, grabbing ahold of steven’s jacket and hiding her face in his shoulder to softly cry in. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ her words were beginning to break in mid sentences, that 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 beginning to ensue. uncovering her face with an upset tone and teary filled eyes. “ 𝙞-𝙞.. 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙.. ❗️❗️ “⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ tears filled the rest of her eyes as she spoke. “ .. even after everything, i’m 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 your best friend. “ she looked down at her hands, fists still clenched tightly. “ what am 𝙞 doing..❓ i’m supposed to be a best friend.. “ covering face. ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ⠀ pupils getting small suddenly, eyes widening with tears at the corners of her eyes. spinel 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣’𝙩 expecting that, that’s for sure… even the sight of him struggling to keep balance and keep in his pink form was a pain but this ..? she was speechless—⠀ ⠀
