so much of her was desperate to push pink away, to scream and shout and CRY until she’d gotten it all out of her system- no matter how long it took.

against her will, as pink drew close, the sparks began to crackle and sizzle loudly and uncontrollably, despite yellow trying her hardest to calm herself as best she could- but to no avail. she hunched into herself more, her form shaking faintly all the while.

“pink… 

i don’t want to hurt you.”

she muttered, her jaw clenching tightly as she managed to stop the sparks once again, though it was clear she was exercising all of the self control she had.

despite this, however, she reached for pink, grasping blindly til she was clutching at one of her much smaller hands in her own with a shaky sigh.

“i’ll allow you to stay, but…

if i say you leave, you do so at once. for your own safety.”

While the sparks did make her more wary, Pink didn’t move from the place she’d come to stand, staying firm as trails of electricity bounced around her from the larger diamond’s form. It did stop after a bit, but for all that energy to be coming off Yellow, there must have been a literal storm inside the other.

Now Pink really didn’t want to leave. Yellow was in more pain than she thought…

♦ It’s okay, you won’t. I’m tougher than I look!

While she had said the last part with a lighter tone, the clear trust she put in the much more powerful diamond was very obvious in her voice. Not once in her existence, had Yellow ever done anything to harm her, even with how easy it was given the power and size she had over Pink. Even if something did happen, she knew it would only happen as a sheer accident, and could only blame herself for getting so close to Yellow at a moment like this. It was a risk she was willing to take.

When she saw Yellow’s hand grasping in her direction, Pink was quick to respond and reach out so the other could easily find her, the smaller diamond’s other hand quickly coming to rest on top of Yellow’s as they held hands as best as they could.

♦ Alright. Just…know that I’m here for you, okay?

“of course you are, my cassiopeia..”

she murmured in reply, her eyes downcast and still swimming with tears despite the wry smile gracing her lips faintly. 

the smile soon faded, however, replaced by a bitter grimace. though, that too was swiftly wiped from her face at the trust pink was clearly placing in her- even the dumbest quartz could see as such.

her precious pink... yellow cared for her so, SO deeply, she could never, EVER, forgive herself if she ever did something to hurt her. she clutched at her dainty little hands tightly, but constraining herself enough as not to hurt her- always so CAREFUL with her, no matter what turmoil was raging inside her. that same small smile crossed her face, however briefly. 

“of course, pink. i wouldn’t expect anything less from you, sweet thing.”

she muttered- and her eyes sprung open as a pink aura flooded the room, and the source? pink, her precious little sister, forever full of surprises. she could feel herself physically relaxing for the first time in YEARS, her ramrod posture slumping and all of the tenseness from her form melted as she relaxed, a few tears seeping from beneath her lashes despite how much calmer she felt. 

“pink...

you’re always so full of surprises.”

but lies became heavy like they so often did, becoming more like birds that were kept within cages. gentle && pretty at first but as they grow older they became more restless && wild as their desire to fly free grew. this was the case with the lies that blue diamond was holding. oftentimes when she was alone in her chamber she spoke aloud, to whom? well mostly herself but recently she had been talking to pink && yellow despite them not physically being around her at that given moment. but she had to stop telling lies && let her thoughts out…

she sits in her chamber this time, not on her chair like a diamond should do but instead sat behind it with her back resting against it, legs crossed and her hands clasping something that might seem morbid to other gems but was a deep rooted comfort to her. it was one of the gem shards they had found upon the location that pink was shattered by rose quartz. 

‘just like the wind thoughts of you flow through my mind but suddenly you aren’t there..” blue muttered as she held the shard up towards her cheek && rested it there, deeply wishing that she could hold pink again like she could before her shattering. ‘i shouldn’t cry,  i know…but i can’t seem to hold it in..’ 

suddenly images of yellow diamond are flashing in her mind, she takes this as a sign that it is time to let go of the lies she fronts to yellow. ‘i wish i could be as fearless as you..’ she lets out a deep sigh && lowers the hand that holds the gem shard, her head turning slightly so she can see the diamond sized figure standing within the doorway of her chamber. 

‘i can’t seem to avoid your gaze can i, yellow?’ 

white didn’t leave her base of operations on homeworld, blue would roam around constantly, never settling, rarely even BOTHERING to take care of her own colonies- so it fell to yellow. yellow diamond, the QUEEN of bottling it all up.

so that’s what she’d been doing, for millennia, bottling it all up and burying herself in her WORK, never resting, never giving her mind the time to come to terms with what had happened, so thus she never mourned, never had to think about what- WHO she’d lost.

now, blue had gone AGAIN, and it was, of course, down to yellow to find her, and attempt to talk some form of sense into her- but thankfully she hadn’t gone far at all. as yellow strode down the halls towards blue’s chambers, she paused before the door- straining to hear what blue was mournfully whispering.

she moved closer, to stand in the doorway, surveying the melancholy sight before her, her face tightening into a sharp frown.

“- oh, blue...”

she sighed out, pinching the bridge of her nose for a moment.

“you MUST stop wandering off so. we were SUPPOSED to have a meeting today to discuss what to do with the latest planetary system found-

but i suppose you just forgot, hm? again?

hearing pink’s sweet voice stopped the sparks from flying almost immediately, her posture relaxing for a moment before returning to a tense form, barking over her shoulder-

“PEARL. leave us.”

the poor, frightened little thing near-sprinted out of the room with a hurried salute, rushing off to do who knows what.

the matriarch didn’t speak. she stayed down, knelt there sullenly, keeping her back turned from pink so she could shield her tears from her sweet little sister- she had to keep up a front for as long as she could- at least until pink had grown up enough to understand the hardships of the world- in a way, yellow would always see pink as the sweet, freshly formed little thing she had been when she’d first emerged. if anything happened to her, yellow would be absolutely beside herself with emotion. 

so, for now, she HAD to keep her safe. shielded. kept in a gilded cage of naivety for as long as she possibly could.

“pink…

i’m fine. you needn’t worry, go back to your quarters.”

The small diamond quietly stayed put, giving Yellow Pearl a saddened glance as she fled from the room. She wished Yellow wasn’t so hard on her gems… It didn’t feel right for them to be so scared.

Her attention was quick to return to the larger diamond though once it was just the two of them in the room, and Pink took a few steps forwards so the doors would close behind her. Nobody else needed to see or hear this.

She was unusually patient as Yellow responded, her frown tightening and her hands going to clasp just above her gem. That was a poorly-made lie, but Pink knew why she had said it. It was much like Yellow to pretend nothing was wrong, so that those closer to her wouldn’t worry or fret. While most times, the youngest diamond obliged her when moments like that came up, this time…

♦ That isn’t true, and you know it.

Pink quietly objected, approaching Yellow until she was standing very close, a sad smile on her face. If she left now, Pink wouldn’t be able to forgive herself to abandoning Yellow when it was clear she was in distress of some kind. As much as Yellow wanted to protect her, Pink didn’t want her to feel…alone, through this.

against her will, as pink drew close, the sparks began to crackle and sizzle loudly and uncontrollably, despite yellow trying her hardest to calm herself as best she could- but to no avail. she hunched into herself more, her form shaking faintly all the while.

“pink... 

i don’t want to hurt you.”

she muttered, her jaw clenching tightly as she managed to stop the sparks once again, though it was clear she was exercising all of the self control she had.

despite this, however, she reached for pink, grasping blindly til she was clutching at one of her much smaller hands in her own with a shaky sigh.

“i’ll allow you to stay, but...

if i say you leave, you do so at once. for your own safety.”

She had heard that White had summoned Yellow for some unknown reason, but with Pink’s experience with the eldest of the Diamonds, she knew it wouldn’t end well. It was out of concern she had ventured to Yellow Diamond’s fortress, but from the moment she stepped into the main corridors of the building, a rush of emotions flooded her gem.

Fear, panic, overwhelming A N G E R-

Pink always had a keen sense of the emotions of gems around her, but this…? From how strongly she could sense what was likely YELLOW from so far, perhaps it was more than just a mere trait of hers…

There wasn’t time to ponder this however, as Pink hurried to Yellow’s office, flinching at each roar she heard and offering sympathetic glances to any gems that met her gaze. She was probably the only one who could do anything to calm the furious diamond, so despite her growing unease, she pushed forward. It wasn’t long before she reached Yellow’s quarters, the door opening for her and revealing to her what should have been a terrifying sight.

But to Pink… her older sister was in pain.

♦ …Yellow? Its- it’s me.

“PEARL. leave us.”
