Star Crossed: Book One: Connie Part 1

Scene: Rose's room, POV: Steven Universe

Chapter:1

As Connie & I lay there, staring at the most beautiful sunset ever created (literally), Connie placed her head on my chest, humming the sweetest tune I ever heard, for a minute or two.

Then she looked up at me, saying, "The sunsets are always majestic in here for some reason".

I looked at her; her face was so vivid and gorgeous. I began to blush has I crossed our fingers together.

That when I said, "I know why."

Connie, confused, asked, "Why?"

"Is it obvious?! Because you are here. For the sun and me to bask in your beauty."

Connie began to blush. Then she started to giggle."Your being so Shakespeare right now."

"Yeah. But it is true that you're beautiful."

"Well, you're not too bad yourself".

We started to, slowly, stop laugh, & started to stare into each others eyes.

Then her eyes began to turn into diamonds.

"Diamond-eyes!" I said sweetly.

"Star-boy." She said playfully.

We have been going out since we were 13. So I knew that when she said that, it meant that had stars for eyes. That meant I wanted to kiss her. So did her diamond eyes. I wanted the setting to be more romantic, so I stood up, & picked Connie up in the air, then twirled her around. That's when I the scene changed to a ballroom. I also changed our outfits. I was wearing a blue tuxedo, with a golden star badge. Connie was wearing a sea-foam green dress, with studded diamonds, & crystal shoes.

"Wow!" Connie exclaimed. "I love it!"

"I knew you would." I said, a little shy.

I cleared my throat, maned-up, & said confidently,"May I have this dance?"

I was holding one of her hands up in the air, & one of mine behind her waist. As I smiled at her, she began to giggle saying,"Sure! I'd love to."

So did the Steven Tango for her. It like the Tango, Only you fly while you do it. And as we descended, we looked into each other eyes. I said, looking awestruck,"You look so beautiful when your flying!"

She responded in the same way."So do you!"

I don't know what came over us as we looked at each other, but we started to lean in to kiss each other. As we were inches away heard a loud knocking sound that made us lose focus, & plummet 100ft in the air. I tried to think of something to save us, but I was too scared.

"STEVEN!" Connie screaming has we were rippling through the air.

I know what you are thinking. "Why are you so scared of falling on soft clouds?" Well it like this. When I'm scared, or in strong emotions, the room makes the scene match my feelings. Like now, I'm falling over a volcanic island that is erupt. Back to the story. We're falling over the island by 55ft.

So I held Connie close to my chest, yelling loud enough that she can hear me,"I'm sorry, Connie! If this is the end, I want that-I doing this out of love!"

I put her in a bubble, & sent her away before she could protest.

'It's alright now.' I thought to myself. 'She okay, & that's all that matters.'
