Phos X Gem Reader
āHey Phos, are you willing to help me out with these boxes?ā Rutile asked Phos who was wandering around the school.
āHuh? Sure.ā
Phos slowly walked their way to one of the boxes and groggily picked it up. Rutile looked over with an annoyed expression as Phos tried to make it clear to Rutile they werenāt feeling good.
āWhats gotten into you?ā Rutile finally said.
Phos laid on the box and reached their arm to the air.āOh, Rutile, I had done something so dumb!ā Phos exaggerated.
āJust get with it already.ā Rutile sighed.
āI made G/N upsetā¦ā
Phos slumped down to the floor in a fetus position. Rutile examined the poor gemās figure. It seemed as if Phos had not gotten a single sleep at all.
[Riiiiingā¦]
āEek! What the heck was that for!? Youāre supposed to comfort me!ā Phos backed away from Rutile who was now holding a hammer with a blank expression.
āOhā¦right. What did you do to make them upset?ā
Phos looked down in embarrassment for a minute but soon gained the confidence. Their eyes meeting Rutileās expressionless face.
āI told them I was gonna fight out there with the rest of the gems.ā Phos said.
Rutile did not respond but instead looked at Phos with yet no expression. Phos moved around awkwardly, fidgeting with their fingers. The silence between them was soon broken.
āYouāre kidding, right?ā
āWhy would I be kidding!ā
Rutile grabbed a box and placed it on the table.
āLook, how about you go talk it out with them, ok? I mean, with your low hardness you are for sure not the one whoās suitable to be out there. I can see why theyāll be upset. They care about you and your safety; Iām sure they wouldnāt want to lose you.ā Rutile said.
Phos looked down in shame. Rutile was right, G/N did really care for them. In fact, they might be the only one whoās actually been concerned for them. Especially during that time when Phos got devoured by a big slug.
G/N was absolutely distraught with the news they received that day. Maybe it wouldnāt hurt to go tell them that they have nothing to worry about.
āAlright!ā Phos got up with pride and joy. Their hair and eyes shining brightly as Rutile huffs and puts the boxes in the shelf before Phos ran to look for their beloved gem friend.
āThanks for helping.ā Rutile muttered in a sarcastic tone before continuing their work.

G/N was on duty to patrol and keep lookout for any unwanted visitors. Their (E/c) eyes skimming through the sky. They walked through the grassy field and waved at any gems from afar, though, their mind was stuck on a certain someone.
āG/N!ā
A sudden voice came out of nowhere in which made G/N completely come back to reality, but unfortunately their reaction was a bit late.
As soon as G/N turned around, a huge crack can be heard from both the gems who had made impact.
āAh, sorryā¦ā Phos mumbled looking at the crack that had been formed on G/Nās forehead. Phos grabbed their now broken arm that was laying on the grassy plain.
āBe careful, you couldāve damaged yourself even more, or worse, be in the eyes of the lunarians!ā G/N pulled Phos up to their feet and pulled them closer, looking out for any enemies. They couldnāt risk any harm being done to them.
āWhy are you out here?ā G/N questioned Phos.
āA-ah, well, I wanted to go talk to you about yesterday.ā Phos looked down to their feet, their eyes darting back in fourth to G/N and the ground.
G/N furrowed their eyebrows but relaxed and smiled. They put their hand on the young gemās shoulder, squeezing them.
āHow about after patrol?ā
~~~~~~
The color of h/c lit up the room as the jellyfish swim in the small wooden bowl. G/n was already in their white night gown and waited for Phos to appear on their doorway. Their eyelids heavy as bricks as they try not to fall asleep.
G/n had a feeling that maybe Phos wasnāt gonna show up, but before they could lay their head on the pillow, a mint colored gem was standing right in front of them.
āAh, youāre here.ā G/n yawned out, stretching their out.
Phos sat next to G/n who was still trying to not fall asleep at any moment. Their figure slumping and sitting right back up every time.
āIāll make this quick!ā Phos yelled out.
āWhen I said I wanted to fight out there, I didnāt mean to make you upsetā¦I just really wanted to be useful,āThe glowing light on Phos dimmed.
āI donāt want to do boring stuff, plus I canāt even do any of them right! So I think fighting those lunarians might be a good job for me! Although Iām not strong, Iām sure I can somehow make it.ā Phos looked at G/n with pride but also a bit of doubt.
G/n pulled Phos into a hug.
āPhos, you slug! Why risk being a jewelry to the lunarians! You are useful, you have a meaning and although those jobs did not meet your expectations, that does not mean youāre useless! I want you to be safeā¦ā G/n tiredly yelled out.
Phos looked out at the small window, the moon glowing brightly and illuminating around them.
āBut you also risk your life out there, G/n.ā
āSo what? At least itās not you. I donāt care if I get crushed by them.ā G/n held onto Phos tighter.
āH-hey! You mean a lot to me too! I wouldnāt want to lose you, youāre the only gem who at least cared about me.ā Phos mumbled under G/nās night gown.
āI wonāt mind risking my life for you, Phos.ā G/n said before slumping down on the bed, along with Phos.
Phos stared at the wall.
Their mind was full of questions to G/n.
G/n can risk their life out there, but why canāt they? Phos means a lot to G/n and it makes sense for them to not want their friend to get captured, but what if the opposite happened?
Phos felt absolute dread of the thought of G/n being broken to pieces and lifted up to the lunarians.
āPhos, maybe tomorrow you can come to patrol with me. We can probably fight the lunarians if they arrive tomorrow, Iāll make sure to protect you.ā G/n muttered.
Phos looked at G/n in surprise, but before the gem could say anything, G/n was already asleep. Phos examined G/nās sleeping figure and scooted close to them, wrapping their arms around G/nās hips.
āIf anything were to happen to you, Iāll make sure I make those lunarians pay, or maybe we both can go to the moon.ā Phos said to the sleeping G/n.
The light in the room dimmed as both the gems slept.
