Just the two of Us

A Steven Universe Fanfiction

Steven had just finished packing up his things for his new mission alone. Since he was now 14, Pearl said he was old enough to go on his first lone mission. He just finished, when the phone rang.

"Hello?" he said into the phone.

"Hey, Steven! It's Connie!" she answered in her regular cheerful voice.

"Oh, hey, Connie. What's up?" Steven asked zipping his cheeseburger backpack.

"Nothing. Just bored. Do you wanna hang out?" she asked sounding exicted.

"No, I can't actually. I'm going on my first mission alone! Can you believe it?" he replied.

"Oh, yeah. That's..that's cool." Connie said back, her voice coming to a sorrow tone.

"Hey, if you don't have anything to do the next few days, maybe you can come with me! It'll be fun. Just the two of us." he suggested now slightly blushing.

"Yeah! That could be really fun! I can just tell my parents we're going on a road trip!"

his friend spoke in a eagar voice. "Okay, I'll be right back." she put the phone down for a few minutes while Steven waited patiently. They had never really had more than a few hours to themselves. But now they have 3 days! He'll have to make them count.

"STEVEN, THEY SAID YES!" Connie shouted into the phone. "Okay, okay. When are you leaving?" she asked walking to her room to pack.

"In a few hours maybe." he replied grinning.

"Great, I'll meet you at your house in 2 hours!" she hung up the phone, quickly, and began to pack her bags for the journey.

After playing video games while waiting for his friend, Connie finally arrived. Steven ran down the steps from his bed, and opened the door to see Connie with a backpack and sleeping bag.

"Did I bring enough? I hope I did." she asked nervous and blushing.

"Yeah, it's fine." he replied. "Now, if you're ready. It's time to go through the warp."

"Okay. Is it safe?" she asked, walking toward the object.

"Of course. As long as I'm with you, I won't let you get hurt. Promise." Steven smiled at Connie. "Let's go!" he grabbed her hand and pulled her to the warp.

"Okay, ready?" he asked, still holding her hand.

"Yeah, let's do it." she said, gripping Steven's hand tighter. Steven activated the warp, and the white-blue stream surrounded them. Connie was in awe at the beauty.

"Steven, it's so beautiful." she said, mezmorised.

"It is, isn't it?" he was examining the stream when they arrvied in the place of the mission.

"Okay, we're here." Steven said, leading Connie off the warp.

"Wow, so pretty." Connie said, they were in a forest. With mushrooms as big as them, and mountains in the distance. Steven nodded at the comment, then started toward the path. It was already getting dark, so they'd have to find a place to set up camp.

"So, what's this mission for anyway?" Connie asked walking along side Steven.

"Well, since this is my first mission without the other Gems, it's an easy one. All I have to do is take this sphere," he said holding up a blue crystal ball." and place it in the cave. Then, I take the creature that's been there and bubble it's Gem." he explained to Connie.

"Wow, that sounds really exciting. I wish my life was that cool." Connie said with a sigh.

"Well, it can be. Your here with me, right? I'm part of your life." Steven reassured. Connie nodded in aggrement. He always knew how to make her feel better. "Well, this looks like a good space for camp." Steven set his backpack down on the ground. They stopped at a small clearing next to a lake.

"Yes, nice choice, Steven." Connie laughed.

After the finished putting up the tent, they started the fire. Connie brought marshmellows, and Steven brought gramcrackers and chocolate. They made smores, and they laughed and talked. After they finished their food, Connie broke the scilence.

"Hey, Steven?" she said nervously.

"Yeah, friend?" he asked moving the sticks in the fire.

"Do you remember that time we were at the beach, and we danced?" she questioned staring at the flames.

"Yeah, that was fun. Why do you ask?" Steven asked curiously. Connie twirled a strand of hair in her hand, and was slightly blushing. Steven loved it when she did that.

"Well, do you think-" she was cut of by Steven standing up taking Connie's hand in his. He silently put his phone in the sand. The song that came on was Moonlight Sonata. Connie's favourite.

"I love this song." she said smiling.

"Yeah, I know." Steven replied grinning. They danced to the rhythm in silence. Steven spun her around and she giggled. He loved that. The way her eyes lit up when he said something that made her really happy, he loved that too.

"Alright, I'm gonna do something. But you have to trust me. Okay?" he asked.

"Okay, what are you going to do?" she asked curiously.

"Is it okay if I put my hands here?" he gently place his hands on Connie's waist.

"S-sure. That's fine." she said blushing now.

"Okay, ready, go!" he picked her up, and spun her in the air. Then, he set her back on the ground and pushed her against a tree. He panted and his eyes widened. They didn't move, and neither of even breathed in that moment. Steven's face slowly grew closer to Connie's, and she didn't even object. He closed his eyes, and placed a gentle kiss on Connie's lips. She lightly kissed back, and after a minute they pulled away.

"I-I...I'm sorry. I didn't..I" Steven studdered for a moment.

"Hey, it's okay." she smiled at the ground." I liked it.."her cheeks blushed like mad, but she didn't care.

"It's okay?" he asked taking Connie's hand. She nodded, then threw her arms around Steven.
