Prompt for week five - Fusion, Frustration, Late Night

ALONE AT LAST (M)

The fusion's eyes snapped open and they gasped as a rush of pure exhilaration flooded through them. "We did it," they whispered. They hugged themselves with glee and bounced up and down on the spot. "We did it!"

Then they froze as a very important question occurred to them. "What's our name? No..." they corrected themselves at once. "What's my name? And what do I look like?"

They ran over to a nearby rock pool and stared at their reflection, utterly enchanted. "Oh..." they breathed, kneeling down for a closer look. Four eyes looked back at them from a pale green, heart-shaped face, framed by pink and green curls. "I'm so pretty," they breathed, and then laughed. "I know it's shallow! But we are! I am!"

They stared at their new reflection for a few moments longer and then sat back on their heels. "We did it," they said quietly, once again. "I was beginning to think maybe I really couldn't. I know," they quickly reassured themselves. "Logically, even if Peridot couldn't fuse with other gems, there still shouldn't have been any problem fusing with Steven, but when it didn't happen for so long..." They giggled and hugged themselves. "Who knew all it would take was the two of them trying to save Peridot's tablet from an especially large wave? Oh!"

They spun around and then relaxed when they saw the tablet in question halfway up the beach. It would've put something of a damper on their celebrations if it'd been washed out to sea while they were distracted. Still, just to be on the safe side, they bubbled it and sent it back to the house before getting back to the very important job of gloating over their successful fusion. "We should celebrate," they said decisively.

Almost at once, a series of rather obscene images popped into their head, making them blush. "You want to- oh! You're so bad! What? That one was you, not me! But you're right, it would be a fun way to learn more about ourselves-"

"I agree," Garnet said from behind them, making them jump. "This calls for a celebration."

"FUSION PARTY!" Amethyst roared, skidding to a halt beside her. "What d'ya say, P? Wanna let Opal out for a couple of hours?"

"Actually, we just..." the unnamed fusion timidly began, but before they could finish, there was a bright flash of light and Opal loomed over them.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you," she said sweetly, holding out one of her four arms for them to shake. "What's your name?"

"Uh, we- I hadn't got that far yet," they admitted. They pursed their lips thoughtfully. "I think... my name is Tourmaline. Yes!" They smiled widely. "I'm Tourmaline."

"I'm glad to meet you at last," Garnet said, and pulled them in for a hug. "Now let's see what you can do!"

Four hours later, the stars were shining, the moon was hanging low in the sky, and Tourmaline was at their wits end. Garnet and Opal had been delighted by their weapon; a spiked shield controlled by Peridot's powers, and insisted upon trying out their own weapons against them. And just as soon as they'd thought that was over, Opal had unfused and Amethyst and Pearl had begged Garnet let them introduce Sugilite and Sardonyx to them too. And then...

"I just want to be alone with you," they grumbled aloud to themselves as Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl concentrated on their fusion dance. "I'm beginning to feel like they're doing this on purpose!"

Alexandrite bent down to introduce herself and they forced themselves to be polite and smile, but when the other fusion pulled out a flail and a bow, Tourmaline decided they'd had enough. "Look, it was really great to meet you all, really, but this is Peridot's first time fusing ever, and her and Steven just want to spend some time alone being me."

Alexandrite unfused and the three elder Crystal Gems stood before them. "Of course, we understand," Garnet said kindly. "We're sorry if we overwhelmed you."

"It's just always so nice to meet a new fusion," Pearl added. "Mostly," she corrected under her breath as she belatedly remembered Malachite. "We'll leave you in peace now."

"Yeah, have fun being you," Amethyst finished with a wave before walking backwards towards the beach house. "Don't celebrate too hard," she added cheekily, a comment Tourmaline pretended not to hear. Still...

"Ooh, I hate when she says things like that!" they grumbled as soon as the other gems were out of earshot. "It's so off-putting!" Then she smirked and hugged herself. "I didn't say it was totally off-putting, did I? Come on!" They began to walk slowly back up towards the house. "We're alone now. Let's get to know ourselves better."

The house was empty when they entered. They glanced briefly at the door and for a moment, they felt a small stab of envy. If they'd been able to give Peridot her own room in the temple, they would've had a whole new room of their own to explore now, but the only room accessible to them was Steven's room, and they didn't quite trust it to behave. Instead, they turned towards Steven's room. Bismuth had done a little remodeling when she'd rebuilt the house four years earlier, and now it was surrounded by walls to give him privacy. Privacy he and Peridot had taken advantage of several times now, but never like this.

The first thing they did was lock the door. The second thing they did was stand in front of the full length mirror in the corner of the room to get a clearer look at themselves. "Hmm. We look good," they said, placing their hands on their hips and turning slowly to admire themselves. "Ooh, I'm quite tall, aren't I? We are definitely riding the roller coaster next time. But for now, let's move on."

They leaned in closer to their reflection. "Firm, full breasts, nice, pert buttocks... that's from you, of course. No, you! OK, one cheek each. The left is definitely all Steven though," they insisted, giving said butt cheek a firm smack. "The outfit though." They frowned, taking in the slightly odd mashup of Steven's salmon pink shirt and jeans over Peridot's dark green tunic and leggings. "I don't like it." They smiled sweetly at themselves. "We'll just have to get rid of it."

They could've stripped down in seconds, but instead, they made a show of it. Steven's t-shirt slowly came off first and was tossed in a corner where it was eventually joined by Peridot's tunic and Steven's jeans (but not the leggings, they were part of Peridot's default outfit and vanished as soon as Tourmaline threw them aside), leaving them clad only in a pair of plaid boxers. "Oh, these really won't do," they fretted. "We'd look so much nicer in a pretty pair of panties. But Peridot's aren't going to fit me now. We'll have to make sure she's wearing some next time we do this," they mused. "But until then... off they go!"

The boxers went sailing across the room too and Tourmaline gazed at their naked body in delight. "Yes, this will do just nicely. So!" They flung themselves backwards onto the bed. "Where shall we start?" they asked themselves, pressing their thighs together in happy anticipation. Despite Steven's contribution, their body structure seemed to be mostly female. Peridot had got very good recently at figuring out what worked for her, and with that knowledge, Tourmaline was able to make a pretty educated guess as to what they might enjoy too.

"I like these," they murmured, cupping their breasts and pushing them together before giving their nipples a sharp pinch. "Ooh! That hurt!" Then they blushed, unable to lie to themselves. "Yes, all right, I liked it. Shut up and give me something to focus upon."

Immediately, their component parts both fondly recalled the last time they'd been together in this room and Tourmaline closed their eyes and mentally watched the event through both points of view. They squeezed their breasts again as they remembered the feel of Steven's mouth on Peridot's. Their hands slid down their torso and fingers traced the facets of their Rose Quartz gem as they remembered Peridot's touch on Steven's body. And then their hands slid down lower still, tracing around the lips of their pussy, remembering how delightful Peridot's looked from Steven's point of view, lime green lips turning darker towards the edges, slick with a mixture of her juices and his saliva...

One hand continued to pinch their nipples while the other gently parted their folds and dipped their fingertips into the waiting wetness before withdrawing and smearing their juices around their clitoris. "Oooh... yes, I like that," they murmured breathlessly to themselves.

They parted their legs a little wider and carried on rolling their clitoris between their fingers, eyes closed, more and more lewd memories pouring into their mind. Peridot riding Steven to orgasm, her lips wrapped firmly around his cock, his eager tongue pressing into her dripping pussy... a new and yet somehow familiar feeling was building up within them as their fingers moved faster and faster. The other hand abandoned their breasts and instead, they plunged two fingers into themselves, then three. Their thumb brushed against their clit from another angle and with a shuddering gasp, they came. "Oh! I love you, I love me, I love us," they babbled, hugging themselves tightly.

Their was a flash of light, and they found themselves in each others arms. For a moment, they gazed at each other, and then Steven's lips crashed upon Peridot's. "That was amazing, we were amazing," he said breathlessly. "Did you enjoy it? Was it good?"

"I loved it," she said with a wide grin, and snuggled closer to him. "I had no idea fusion could feel like that."

"I feel like I should very definitely clarify that it's never felt like that for me before either," Steven said quickly, making her laugh. He smiled and gave her another kiss. "But I'm glad you had a good time."

"I did." She smiled serenely. "So when can we do it again?"

"Soon. Very soon," he assured her. Then her rolled her over and pinned her beneath him. "But until then..." he said with a wicked grin. "Shall we have another go at fusing the old-fashioned way?"

A/N: Hooray, I got it all done on time this year! Gotta say, I definitely preferred the monthly format to the weekly one this year. I felt a lot less rushed because I was able to write the prompts during each week and post them at the end instead of having to take a month off in advance to have enough to post every day, so I'm hoping next year follows the same format. And I'm going to keep the bonus prompts aside for if I get blocked writing Living Arrangements, so this may get a couple more updates in the future. But even if it doesn't, it was a lot of fun, I enjoyed writing these little one-shots and I hope you all enjoyed reading them. Thank you!
