Day 3 (Tuesday, October 30th)-One Big Bed
(Peridot is a clumsy handful
Peridot, who had her hands outstretched to show off her new home, was slowly lowering them as her smile dropped slightly. “Well y-yeah. Don’t you like it?”
Amethyst wrapped an arm around Lapis’s shoulder and pulled her down to her height “Of course we like Peri!”
Lapis sighed “I’m not saying I don’t like it. I’m just worried if it’s up to code. Don’t want you to get crushed by a falling wall.”
“It’s fine Lazuli. It’s definitely up to code. Let me show you two around!” Peridot grabbed their arms and pulled them inside.
“Technically yes. But you see those ladders? They take you to a ledge.” Peridot started climbing up. “Come on!”
Amethyst was about to follow but was stopped by Lapis grabbing her arm “What?”
“I know isn’t it exciting.”
“For us...maybe. But her...She falls all the time. She is going to die here.”
“...right. Hey uh...Peri. Maybe we should get something to block off the ledge here?”
Peridot, at the top, looked down at the two of them, almost giving them a heart attack. “What do you mean?”
Lapis practically flew up the steps and Amethyst positioned herself underneath Peridot so she could catch her “You know...for the aesthetic.”
“Huh. Didn’t think about that? Part of the reason I wanted to show you two this place. I knew you would have good ideas.”
Lapis grabbed onto Peridot’s waist and pulled her into a tight hug. “Well you know us. The epitome of fashion.”
Peridot smiled and nuzzled against Lapis as Amethyst made her way upstairs.
“Anyway!” Peridot broke free of Lapis’s grasp, and was immediately pulled away from the ledge by Amethyst. “This is my bedroom. I don’t have a lot yet. Just a dresser, tv, and…”
Peridot nodded enthusiastically
“Why? Your old bed didn’t have the springs poking out yet.”
“Well...um...I was kinda thinking. When you two...are comfortable...we could...all live...here.”
Lapis smiled slightly “Wait...you bought us a house?”
Peridot nodded “I know we haven’t been dating for all that long...but...we’ve been friends for...forever...and...you know…”
Amethyst grinned “Yeah Per. I mean somebody’s gotta make sure you don’t die.”
“Nothing. So can we watch Tv?”
“Cool. You’re in the middle.”
