...

Amethyst watches the screen load as she reached behind to tie her hair back, settling in more comfortably on her sheets. There was a pop on the bedside table and a bag of puffy Cheetos propped against her thigh, cheesy orange dust staining her fingers and the white blanket. "We got some early birds on the stream. Pierogi, G-squad, you there?"

Pearl's screen finally connects. The pale woman is adorned in a formal blue sundress and a necklace with a pink quartz at the end. Long fingers are covering her eyes, face flushed with a cocktail of embarrassment and indignation. "Amethyst, I swear, if you're only in your undergarments again-"

"Chill, P. I got some jeans on."

"Amethyst!"

Garnet gives a blank thumbs-up from the other camera feed. "Black suits you."

"Thanks." She scanned the stream with a frown. "Heeey. Save the wise talk for the comments section. This is a charity thing."

"It's the middle of winter and you live in a basement." Pearl's voice is muffled by her hands. "Don't you ever get cold?"

"It's a fully furnished thing, not some sort of stone dungeon. You two just need to move South."

Garnet, clad in only a short-sleeved shirt, a jean jacket, and her typical shades, shrugs. "'M fine. You might wanna cover up, though."

"Ugh, whatever." Amethyst chucked her controller to the side and wriggled under the blankets, pulling them up to her chin. She dipped a cheese-dusted hand into her bag and retrieved a handful of Cheetos. "Yo, P. Check out what our friends are saying."

Pearl did so, letting out a quiet shriek. "I am not ogling a teenager!"

Amethyst cackled. "It's not gay when it's video games."

"Amethyst, hush."

"Yeah, you're right. You're too gay to be bound by the rhyme."

"Hmm," Garnet says. "Got a couple accusers myself."

"They must be new." She brushed it off like water from a duck's back. Amethyst's channel had always had equal parts good and hate in it, so she was used to uninformed jerks shoving their noses in. "Haven't ya'll heard? G's parents were so sappy they sucked all her romance-feelers out in the womb."

"I accept this." Garnet rumbled, smiling.

Author's Note: Heck yeah! This is mostly gonna be drabbles, if I add anything at all. Mostly it's just fun. Review me some ideas- I might get some inspiration! It's really late/early where Amethyst lives, and she will record in whatever she's wearing at the time. She's probably done a puzzle game in swimsuit in the summer.

Pearl's gay, Garnet is aro-ace, and Amethyst is still working things out. Probably pan.
