*two weeks later*

"Uggah!" Lapis Lazuli stretched as she finished looking over with the set up for the winter formal.

"What's you think, Laz, Council approved?" The head of state design and architecture club, Bismuth Aduba, asked.

"Top-level work as always Biz." Lapis nodded her head in approval. Before texting pictures of Bismuth's work to her fellow Student council members, for their opinion.

"So why is it only the secretary today? Not that I'm complaining but thought it was supposed to be approved by the whole group?"

"What, don't want me around?" Lapis teased the dark-skinned, rainbow dread-head.

"Ah you know I love your company."

"Second only to Pearl's, I bet."

"Oh, come on, I get teased enough from Amethyst, Rose, and Jasper" Bismuth turned away with a smirk.

Lapis chuckled at the girl before hearing two different dings from her phone. Taking a look she saw a message from Jasper and Peridot, giving their approval. "Well 3 out of 4 approved.so you're good." She shrugged, putting her phone back into her blazer pocket.

"Nice..Wait who didn't approve?"

"Connie...or rather she didn't respond yet."

"huh? She's usually the first one to give an answer."

"Usually, the one here too." Lapis shrugged. "But Boss lady was needed elsewhere."

"Hmph." Bismuth smirked.

"What?"

Bismuth shook her head. "Glad to see you guys are ok, again."

Lapis snickered. "So am I.

"So where is our great and powerful President, this afternoon, what could be so important that she can't answer a text?" Bismuth taunted with a little fire catching the swimmer off guard.

"Wow..Aggressive much, Biz?" Lapis sassed the bulkier girl.

"6 times, I had to rebuild this stage. So yeah, I'm a bit pissed and tired." Bismuth crossed her arms.

Lalis grimaced "Ok. .Yeah... I feel you, but Connie's in a meeting with the crystal gems about someone request they had and other miscellaneous work...I'll see if they're nearly done, ok Bismuth." The secretary reassured before sending a group text.

Oceanside:

Heading there right now!

Lapis closed her phone before skipping into a run, a mischievous smile on her face.

Lapis turning a few corners she found herself in corridor F, She calmed herself down before marching silently to the computer lab. As she got to the door she heard Connie's giggle and bits of flirty and seductive conversation.

'A couple of months ago. The thought of them two being together would have ripped me apart, boken completely..Now.' Lapis thought to herself.

"I love you, Berry. " she heard Steven said in a gentle tone.

"I love you too, Biscuit ." Connie responded, just the same.

"They're so cute together.." She sat down with a smile. She peeked through the classroom window and almost collapsed in a giggling fit.In her sight was Steven Universe and Connie Maheswaran, Two of her closest friends.. Kissing.

Her hand on his chest and nape as she tipped toe a bit..Which is funny cause Connie is 5'7.

His hands holding and slightly pressing her sides riding up her skirt and shirt just slightly. their lips locked and clips like a puzzle piece joining and braking with giggles of love between each meeting.

She'd expected to feel pain..a numbness..but didn't..She felt relieved and happy. She might have felt some envy, cause they are in an established relationship, but it was more of the fact that they were in one..then that it was with each other. she was more than elated that they finally officially became an item. she turned away to give them a bit of privacy

"They're so right for each other." She whispered with a smile,"Took them awhile to get here though...Still..They are finally together. all the bittersweetness behind them." She huffed " Hope I find someone like that soon." she chuckled..until she heard something..disturbing.

"ah, my neck.." Connie mewled "we're in school not at your house.'

"I won't go too far." he chuckled "You can tell me when to stop."

"Pssh!..yeah, leave it to me to tell you..Ah,,, to stop putting love bites..Hahaha.. on me. Knowing damn well I'm not." her breathy tone made Lapis shake her head In her hands

"Just showing you love."

"And warding off potential pursuers." She chuckled.

"Ey, now..who's making who.Nippy...hmm."

"You like it when i nip you." Connie giggle before she sighed out his name

"I'm a fan...You like when I mark you."

"I do."she purred. " I really do, ahh Steven.."

".Sorry, got kind off carried a-"

Lapis eyes widened and jaw dropped as she heard the desk sliding,giggling, the sounds of lips smacking and a breathy groan from Connie. 'Oh no..this is way more than I expected!' Lapis thought her cheeks burning bright.

"Mark my heart, Bisky" the pleading in her voice made Lapis' hair stand on end.

"You're supposed to stop me from going too far."

' That's a voice of reciprocation not reprimand, Steven universe!'

"Trust me.I will"

'THE LIES!! THE LIES!!

With that lapis took a deep breath and stood up before reaching into her phone and texting to the group chat, to clear her escape route.

Sorry guys..but NOPE! Got to block! Please don't jump me!'

With that she turned on the camera app..and opened the door.

" What you two doing here, Nasties!"

Thirty seconds later, the whole school and anyone left in it, heard the witch's laughter of lapis lazuli and the roars of promising pain from Steven Universe and Connie Maheswaran. As the couple chased after the little sneak, but if you happened to see them run by it would be hard to miss the three identical smiles.,
