Without You (Semi-Hiatus)

“Thank you” Black Star cooed as she held the hug for a minute, then released Spinel.  “I’m gonna shower first if that’s okay.  Don’t worry though, I’ll be super quick!”  Then the runt raced off the her bathroom, the sound of water hitting against the surface of the tub while Black Star cleaned herself up.

It was roughly five minutes and Black Star was done, a towel wrapped around her form as the door opened.  “Okay Spinny, your turn!”

While Black Star was in the shower, Spinel followed, partially by walking and partially by stretching. For some reason, she thought cleaning up was different. 

Mostly she waited outside the bathroom until Black Star came out. “Alright!” 

When she got in, however, Spinel looked around, confusion clear on her face. She went to the sink for a moment, looking down at it almost like it held some curious treasure. Then she looked between the tub and toilet. It dawned on her she never been in a room like this before. “Um...”

@gardenscythed​ liked for a starter!

“Woah!!”

    The boy watches as this…pink…person stretches herself and bounds around. He couldn’t help but snoop a bit.

                  “ How’d you do that?”

    He thought he had some cool moves, but that definitely something he couldn’t do.

                          “Thats so cool!”

Oh! Someone new! She was pretty sure he was knew, at least. He looked human, and she’s partly memorized all the humans that lived here. And he was a new face to the tiny audience she got for her small show.

“Ha ha, thanks!” She appreciated the compliment, for a moment almost missing the fact she should respond to his question.

    “You shouldn’t bother people like that.” 

Bother? Was she being a bother? She didn’t think she was. But she was? “I...” She began, softly, thinking about all the times she must’ve been annoying to Pink. 

“...I’m sorry. I just...well... Um, you seemed sad.

Black Star’s mind hadn’t thought that Spinel was the cause of the mess in her kitchen.  So she was currently eating up the pink gem’s lies as she raced over and hugged her.  “Oh god, I’m just so glad you’re okay” said the smaller gem in a worried tone, making herself messy as she hugged Spinel.  She held it for a few minutes, then sighed quietly while letting Spinel go.

“Well, we should shower off first then ah.. would you mind helping me clean this mess up afterwards?”

Spinel returned the hug, a slightly worried smile on her face when she was sure Black Star couldn’t see. She felt bad. Smaller, really, but it didn’t seem Black Star noticed.

Or cared, if she did.

“Nice to be home” Black Star says to herself as she opens the door to her cabin.  But after only taking a couple steps inside, Black Star is greeted by a mess that could’ve come out of an episode of Baking Nightmares.  The look of joy slowly shifting to one of horror as the runt screamed.

“SPINEEEEEEEEEL!  Did someone break in and try to steal my recipees?!  What the hell happened in here?!”  Eyes went from the food-covered gem, to the ceiling, down the floor, and repeat cycle.

“Er, yes!” Granted, she wasn’t going to steal them. Just try to make something and memorize it. “Well, uh, kinda? I uh...saw some tiny fuzzy creatures enter!” That sounded convincing, right?

“And saw them make a mess! Maybe looking for your recipes, I couldn’t tell, I just came in and chased them off!” She flicked her arms, unintentionally adding to the general mess of the kitchen.

“Good to know you’ve been doing well. Thats a relief to hear.”

         Even if it was completely absent of her influence

       Don’t make it about you—-do not be selfish.

“ I’m sure thats helped you a lot.” Ky truly wasn’t sure, but she figured getting out and doing new things would help the gem. “ Its nice to see you again regardless.”

       Did this feel awkward or was it just her? Was she making it awkward? Probably. Who knows.

Sees another her and she has a steak knife.

Oh crap she only has a rejuvenator- 

Among the chaos of the kitchen was food everywhere, and in the center was a surprised (and equally food covered) gem. What was she even trying to make or accomplish, trying to make something by herself with so many different things scattered about? 

“ Oh you know…nothing too exciting..just the usual….spending time with friends, working sometimes…..”

          Having horrible luck with relationships.

No she’d keep that one to herself.

       “ Just more of the same really. Nothing terribly interesting. How about you?” 

“Eh, same old, same old. Been terrorizing the local humans, got punted into the ocean by Jasper and been avoiding Steven like the plague.” ...Was she joking on all of those???

Bong! “Surprise!” Spinel exclaimed as she suddenly showed up, limbs stretched wide away from her. “Ha ha, bet’cha didn’t expect me to show up, huh, Ky?” At least, not in the way she did. Maybe.
