Bellow Diamond Week 2019

| ♢ Bellow Diamond Week ♢ |

Day 6 - Earth

I’m not really sure what to put here anymore, so I’m just going to put a quick summery of what it’s about: Steven joins the diamonds with meeting with a gem that has almost as bad of a past as White, but how do you think SHE feels about it?

Decided to do Bellow Diamond Week 2019…and I actually did each prompt on each day instead of rushing to do all the prompts on the last day like I usually do XD lol

Day 4: Family

Steven’s plan to take some selfies with his grandmothers didn’t go really well... And Blue found Yellow way too gorgeous not to kiss her. And Yellow had the big gay. For like 3 days. (Do not surprise-kiss the giant banana or you’ll break her). Oh and Lion ran away with Steven’s phone.

The rotation had begun as any other. Blue Diamond awoke in her bed slowly. She and Yellow had taken up more sleeping as Steven had suggested and it was working wonders on both of them. The bags under her eyes were the lightest they had been in centuries and she was delighted to see the lines in Yellow’s face were now more akin to creases than deep canyons beneath her eyes.

Even if they didn’t technically need to sleep, it was still nice to spend time together in quiet serenity.

Groggily Blue reached out and finding the other side empty, frowned, remembering that Yellow was still off world, seeing to one of her colonies that had been having issues.

With a quiet sigh she sat up and called her Pearl to her side to look at her schedule for the appointments coming in the next few cycles.

She hummed to herself as she scrolled slowly through the screen of meetings and things she needed to see to. The head Bismuth was coming to speak to her about further projects she had arranged to begin construction of on a few more of her colonies and apparently a meeting with White had been arranged. That did make her smile, though in the past that would not have been the case. Less like the meetings of the past, stuffy, formal affairs that made both Yellow and herself itch nervously. They were now more of a pleasant get together, though they did still talk business more often than not.

Pleasant, because Steven had been working his charm on the gem matriarch and she was slowly but steadily relaxing. Relaxing her standards of perfection that were projected on everything and everyone from colonies and Pearls to Diamonds…

She no longer turned to ice on the inside at the idea of being in the elder gems presence. Though, this would be the first time since White had begun to change that she would not be there with Yellow.

They need to support each other. All of them.

This was kinda inspired by a conversation I had with @acerosu​, we were talking about the diamonds on Earth during winter, and I said it would be cute if White and Yellow were failing to skate and when she fell, she sneezed snow off her nose like a kitten, so I decided to add it in this fic.

"She made the right choice in protecting this planet." It wasn't a question.

"Yes she did." Blue answered anyway. And then, "Walk with me. Please?"

Blue Diamond hummed to herself as she made her way from her personal quarters to Yellow’s.

She’d called to speak to her but her Pearl had answered the diamond line instead and said that Yellow was asleep.

That news pleased Blue greatly, that Yellow was resting more. If any of them needed more rest, it was her.

She was less pleased when she arrived at Yellow’s quarters and snuck in quietly just to find her newly constructed, gold cushion colored bed, empty. Her Pearl was the only one in the room.

She quickly snapped into a salute and apologized.

“My apologies, your radiance, my Diamond left a few moments ago.”

Blue pursed her lips in mild annoyance as she turned down another hall. If Yellow was no longer in her personal quarters, she didn’t have to guess to know where she was.

I really miss winter. And not death heat. So have this.

I didn’t have anything else in mind for this day, so I figured: what’s more relaxing than getting to sleep in? Getting to sleep in WITHOUT your pearls trying to wake you up I guess.
