Amethyst was quick to jump from her spot on her bed and in front of her roommate, a goofy grin plastered upon her face.

"A girl? What did she look like?"

Pearl was startled by Ame's sudden appearance, making her fall back onto her bed with a soft thud.

"Well, are you gonna tell me?" Amethyst asked as she leaned over Pearl. A blush crept to Pearl's cheeks as images of said girl flashed through her mind in an instant.

Pearl gave a sigh before starting, "She was tall, and fit..," she murmured, "strong angular features and…" she paused as the last image came into view; her blush becoming prominent.

"Man you're totally into this chick. Which kinda brings me to a good but personal question."

"What is so personal that you must know?"

"What's your sexuality?" The tallest became wide-eyed with shock.

"What!? Why do you want to know?"

"Just …curious. It's ok, I won't tell," the shortest exclaimed while bringing a pudgy, chipped finger to her lips.

"You know it's really not right to ask someone about that, especially when you barely have known them!"

"We've talked over the phone months in advance before we met each other in person," Amethyst stated with her weight shifted to the left side of her body and a hand on her hip.

Pearl became beet red in the face, "That DOES NOT count! We've literally just met today," she shot her arms in the air out of anger.

Amethyst followed with a reply, "At least you know ME!" The last word was heavily emphasized. "I'm not just a complete stranger asking this question now am I?"

Pearl pondered over this thought, and came to the conclusion that Ame was right.

"You do have a valid point there," she stated with a sidewards glance and then reverted to her laying position on her bed.

"See, now if you don't mind sharing." Amethyst was quite eager to hear her roommate's answer.

Pearl started with a whisper which was barely audible, while trying to hide a blush.

"What was that?"

Pearl raised her voice a pitch, but Amethyst could still not make out the words.

"Pardon, little mouse?"

"I'm gay! Ok, I said it!" Pearl barked. She jolted into a sitting position at her statement, on her bed, her full face beet red.

The blonde stared into the waiting face of her roommate, who appeared to show no emotion to her response. Silence enveloped the small dorm as both girls stared at one another, until Amethyst's expression changed to bore a huge grin.

"What's with that smile? Oh I knew I shouldn't have told you!" the taller of the two rebutted with a huff and a crossing of her arms.

"No no, it's just that..well, I'm gay too!" Amethyst exclaimed in excitement.

"W-what!?"

"Yeah, I'm gay! Well technically bi-curios, but I still like girls."

Pearl fell silent. Never had she told a person of her sexuality, not even her close friends. She sure wasn't going to tell her parents anytime soon because she was fearful of what their reactions would be. And she never associated herself with any know LBGTQ+ person, so Amethyst was the first. Pearl felt quite comfortable now knowing that she would be rooming with someone who shared a similarity with her.

"You ok, did I spook you?" Amethyst asked as she looked Pearl in her expressionless face. Pearl shook her head, bringing her mind back to reality before addressing her roommate.

"It's ok, I'm fine. Uhm, thank you for sharing."

"It was no problem, it saves us the trouble of that topic later in the future, he he." The short girl gave a huge grin, which Pearl returned with a small smile of her own.

"You know, you're the first I've ever told about this."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm.. too scared really to tell anyone, even my parents."

Amethyst took a seat next to Pearl on her bed, offering a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Parents can be scary when it comes to that topic, I know that from personal experience."

"Were your parents mad when you told them?"

"Pfft, nah not really. They were cool about it, they just were disappointed I didn't tell them sooner. My dad figured I would be 'that way' because my older sister is gay and has a girlfriend, and they were really cool with it when she came out to them when she was in high school."

"How is that scary?"

"Well, there was one point when I really thought they didn't like homosexuals because they acted really negative towards my sister for a while. But it turns out they were just upset at her for what she did in the past."

"Like what?"

"Uh, being mean to me and my siblings, getting into fights, the usual bad girl things. But let's save all the other stuff for another convo," Amethyst emits a loud yawn as she stretches her limbs, "How's about we call it a night, it's getting pretty dark out eh?"

Pearl took notice to the opened curtains at the window and saw that it had gotten quite dark outside; a streetlight nearby shone brightly. She reached behind her, grabbing for her blue purse and digging out her phone to check the time.

"10:30pm, wow it sure is pretty late. I'm surprised we were talking for such a long time."

"Heh, time flies when you're in a conversation," stated Amethyst as she rose from Pearl's bed and went to her own. Since she had already dressed in her pajamas for the night when she returned, she jumped straight into bed, making sure to place her comic book on her nightstand. Pearl herself rose from her bed and proceeded to her dresser to retrieve a pair of light blue cloud pajama shorts and a ribbed white tanktop to change into.

She checked behind her to see if Amethyst was looking, and noticed she was preoccupied with her phone at the moment, so it gave Pearl a quick chance to change and jump into bed as well.

Amethyst turned to look at her roommate across the room, "That was quick." Pearl shrugged off the statement and proceeded to set her alarm before bundling herself under the star comforter.

"Good night Amethyst, I hope you have a nice rest."

"Same to you P."
