"HAH!" Steven cried out as he opened his arms, creating a huge burst of energy and releasing it. The gem-hybrid smiled and looked down at his hands as he slowly levitated back to the floor. He then looked up to (Y/n), who was staring at him with an unreadable expression.

Steven frowned and took a step towards her, but she took a step back and looked away from him, clenching her fists.

Steven sighed and looked down at his hand, before smirking slightly and rolling it into a fist.

I can make a promise,

I can make a plan,

Steven lifted his hand up and used his thumb to wipe the blood from his nose away before kissing it; making pink sparkles appear and twinkle away.

I can make a difference,

I can take a stand,

Steven turned and stomped his foot against the floor, making a clank sound echo throughout the skies as (Y/n) turned to him with wide eyes filled with shock.

I can make an effort,

If I only understand~

Anger suddenly began to cloud (Y/n)'s judgement. Growling, the gem summoned a pair of gauntlets on her hands and pulled a fist back, ready to give the first blow.

That I. . .

I can make a change!

Almost as if he were expecting it, Steven summoned his shield just before (Y/n)'s gauntlet could get a hit on him.

(Y/n) growled again and got rid of her gauntlets before replacing them with a pair of throwing knives. The gem jumped back, away from Steven, and began to throw the knives at him, but he blocked every one of them.

(Y/n) was growing aggravated, and the cocky look Steven was giving her didn't really help at all.

Gather all my problems,

(Y/n) opened her wings and flew towards Steven at full-speed once more, but this time, he was ready.

After getting rid of his shield, Steven opened his arms wide and caught (Y/n) in his grasp. Gasping, she immediately began to struggle in his hold, but he wasn't letting go.

Gather all my pain,

(Y/n) let out a frustrated cry and opened her wings. It got Steven to let go of her, but only for a short second. Just when she was about to fly farther away from him, he took ahold of her arms and pulled her closer to him, earning another gasp from the gem, whose face was beginning to heat up.

Take control of what I'm feeling,

(Y/n), however, doesn't like submitting without a fight. Growling, she began to try pulling herself out of Steven's grasp, but all that did was make him hold onto her tighter.

Unknowing to the two, they had begun to twirl around in the center of the injector.

Patience to understand~

Steven suddenly gave (Y/n) a sad smile and pulled her close, making their chests touch. Her eyes immediately widened when she felt Steven's hand cup her face, and she hesitantly looked up to meet his gaze.

I know. . .

He began, leaning forwards and placing his forehead against her own.

I know you must be hurting,

Steven wrapped an arm around her and snuggled his face into her shoulder, while his other hand took her hand in his and laced their fingers together.

But please just know that I am with you!

So you don't suffer all alone~

So you. . .

You can make a change!

Finally snapping back to her senses, (Y/n) gasped and pushed Steven away, her eyes wide and her face hot. Tears built up in her eyes as she stumbled back from the gem-hybrid, who seemed to take a step closer with every step she took back.

She was getting close to the edge.

(Y/n) took a shaky breath and looked down at her hands, before narrowing her eyes and summoning a sword and looking back up to face Steven, who had the most gentle expression on his face that she had ever seen.

She frowned and clutched the handle of her blade tightly as she got into a battle stance.

You claim to understand,

What you can not know~

(Y/n) opened her wings and launched herself forwards, aiming her sword at Steven's chest. The hybrid gasped in surprise and quickly summoned his shield, blocking (Y/n)'s blade just in time; making him sigh in relief, and causing (Y/n) to growl in frustration.

The gaul to lecture me,

As though you can relate to me!

The (F/c) gem pushed Steven back and flew a few feet away from him, fat tears now rolling down her cheeks as she laughed and stumbled backwards; clutching her stomach.

So just go back to your family,

'Precious, sweet little family,'

There's no time left to lose!

Making her sword disappear, (Y/n) replaced it with her whip and wrapped it around Steven, earning a cry of surprise from him as his eyes widened.

Change is only for the strong!

For the strong!

Crying out, (Y/n) began to spin Steven around before lifting the whip over her head and throwing him into the air. Steven gasped and looked down, watching as the (F/c) gem opened her beautiful wings once more before giving them a hard flap and flying up after him.

When she was in front of him, with tears falling from her eyes and a heavy frown on her face, Steven took this as a chance.

A chance to show her that she wasn't as alone as she thought she was.

You can make it different!

You can make it right!

Steven smiled kindly at her and opened his arms, almost as if he were offering her a hug.

You can make it better!

Suddenly, the hybrid leaned towards (Y/n), to where their noses were almost touching. (Y/n)'s eyes went wide and she stayed in her place, too shocked to move away from him.

We don't have to fight~

Flying past the clouds, Steven looked as if he were flying in front of the moon from (Y/n)'s perspective. The gem gasped and leaned backwards, the scene seeming almost familiar to her.

It was then that she realized how oddly similar Lunar and Steven were.

You can make it better,

Starting with tonight~

Steven sang with an understanding and forgiving smile as he began to fall back down, his arms still opened for (Y/n) to fly into.

'Cause you. . .

(Y/n) placed a hand against her cheek when she felt a warm liquid falling down her face. She blinked and took her hand away from her face, instantly noticing the salty tears on her fingers.

She felt her lip quiver and looked down — down at Steven: who still had his arms opened for her.

All she had to do was fly into them.

You can make a change~

Steven suddenly felt something wrap around him. Slowly opening his eyes, he was surprised by the sight of (Y/n), with her face buried in his chest and her wings wrapped around him as well.

Steven then smiled and wrapped his arms around her, snuggling his face into her hair and rubbing comforting circles on her back as she sobbed into his shirt.

"Shh. . ." He ran a hand through her hair and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head. "It'll be okay, (Y/n)," He whispered, closing his eyes and pulling the gem closer.

"It'll be okay."
