OK SO. hear me out. hearmeout. that yandere gemstuck dirk gave me an idea. what if reader was also a gem?? i saw the line about him wanting to stay fused with them and im just :eyesemoji:
"You have to understand… I- I'm doing this because… I love you. I know we haven't been together for too long, but still… You mean so much to me." The spinel gem's voice was low and calm. But, it did nothing to calm the dread and growing panic that flooded through you.
Rain tapped softly against the windows of the beachside cabin that the Crystal Gems had built. Roxy and her family were out in town, helping wayward gems adjust to their new life on Earth. It wasn't really the best weather for such an activity, and part of you wished they would have just stayed home. Another part of you wished you had gone with them.
The tap of rain against the window panels and encroaching rumble of thunder didn't drown out the music that played on the radio, however. It was something soft and slow - no lyrics, just the swaying melody of the instruments' tunes.
Dirk blocked your path to the exit as he slowly approached, giving slightly exaggerated steps as he made his way towards you - a leftover of his former purpose, thousands of years ago. You noted how tall he was, with him having risen to his full, intimidating height.
"Dirk, you're scaring me…" You said, backing away slowly to the portal directly behind you.
"Don't be afraid, please," Dirk whispered. You could hear the strained pain in his voice. "Please… I'm doing this out of love. You have to understand that."
"I just… I can't bear the thought of you leaving me, of being abandoned. I- I can't! Not again."
You felt something inside you clench in sympathy at Dirk's plight… But, this wasn't healthy - trying to force you into a permanent fusion just to make sure you could never be apart from him… It wasn't right.
You bit your lip, looking to be in thought… Before turning and darting towards the portal as fast your feet could carry you, stretching your arms as if to reach out and-!
You felt a hand grab at your uniform, pulling you backwards. Dirk's cartoonishly long arms had shot out after you, and he retracted them just as quickly, slamming back against his chest. You let out a groan, too pained to fight or get your bearings before the pink gem wrapped his arms around you, pulling you flush against his body - almost suffocatingly close.
You let a grumble of pain, looking up just in time to watch as Dirk pressed a kiss to your forehead. A whine escaped your throat as you attempted to wriggle free of Dirk's grip, but to no avail.
"Dirk, please, you don't have to do this..." You pleaded with him.
You felt the other gem nuzzle against you. "I'm sorry… But I have another choice."
You felt as he slowly began rocking you to and fro, before eventually slowly spinning you in time with the music that swelled through the cabin. You tried to struggle free, but Dirk's arms were iron tight, trapping you against him as he forced you to dance along.
A low rumble bubbled up from Dirk as he hummed along to the tune, possibly in a poor attempt to calm your nerves.
"Dirk, please," You began to cry. You didn't want this!
However, your begging went ignored, and, if anything, just made him turn faster, spinning about the room as the background melody seemed to swallow up your senses whole - Lost to the nausea of the dizzying dance and the thrumming music.
The world around you glowed brighter, and you spotted as Dirk's heart-shaped gen began to glow a bright white.
In a panic, you kicked and squirmed and tried to wriggle free. You began to cry, tears falling from your eyes as the world became far too bright to focus on. "Dirk, please, STOP!"
And the world went white...
You blinked open your eyes. Your eyes…? Something… Something felt… Wrong. You blinked once, twice. Again. You squinted, and only then did it sink in what was off. Instead of your regular amount, you had… Four.
Feeling panic rise in your chest, you shot up to a sitting position, wrapping your… Extra, long arms around your chest. You fought back a gulp, moving your arms away. Your multiple eyes widened as you spot an upside down heart-shaped gem taking up residence in your midsection.
Your mouth hung open as your body began to shake.
"Nn…" A sound croaked out of your throat.
You had wanted to say "no", but something had stopped you.
He… You felt it. His influence on your mind, your now shared mind.
Your breathing picks up, but - was it even really yours anymore? Was it his? Both of yours? After all, you… You weren't really you anymore. You were him and you, and something that both was and wasn't. Something new.
New and scary and something you didn't want. You didn't want this!
You felt the new body that you and Dirk formed begin to split apart at the seams, and a cry of pain forced its way out of your splitting throat. The world begin to go white as your body, your fusion's body, began to destabilize.
And just as quickly, you snapped back into place. Stable and in one piece once more.
You felt something come over, like a curtain of bliss and reassurance and calm, muffling your panic and will to fight back. A shiver ran up your back as your arms wrapped around yourself comfortingly.
"Shhh, everything is okay," You, who wasn't you and yet was, said softly against your own accord. How odd, you comforting yourself. But you knew that it was Dirk speaking, or the part of you, your fusion, that Dirk was now a part of. "You'll see. This is for the best. I did this for us, so that we'll always be together."
Your body fought back the whimper that built up in your throat, blinking back the tears that threatened to spill from your eyes.
One of your multiple arms lifted a hand to your lips, giving it a shaky kiss.
