"So, this is me."

"Yeah."

Connie Maheswaran and Steven Universe, old childhood friends, reunited through chance. Her being a tech mogul and him being one of her assistants, for the last two months, they've been reconnecting and rekindling their friendship. Which wasn't as hard as he thought it would be. Despite how scary she could be at work ( something he teased her about, to have her pout.) She was still the same friend from the past. The genius, energetic, little stubborn, lot clumsy, tomboy, who smile made his heart skip every time. Just now, she wasn't cute. She was striking, stunning...Unbelievable inside and out.

"I. I had fun, Steven." Connie admitted with her head down, her black eyes staring at his brown.

"Yeah, so did I.," He said lowly, grinning shyly. "You're still good at arcade games." He smiled, "especially, DDO."

She pouted, her cheeks turning burgundy, "That ain't funny; I hardly got any top scores on the harder songs." She folded her arms under her breast.

"You beat my ass." He shrugged. "That is something."

"Is it, though? Especially when you let me win."  She smirked.

"You still think I let you win!" He poked her side, getting a laugh from Connie.

"Who doesn't break one million points on 'Cartoon heroes'? Come on now."

"Hey, I was distracted."

"Oh, and what distracted you, huh?" She grinned as she took his hands to stop poking her. 

The feel of their hands being held together brought the heat to both their cheeks and smiled to their lips.

"You."

"Hmm?"

"I was distracted by you...Well, your playing." He looked up, hiding his embarrassment.

Connie's eyes widened at Steven's confession, her face glowing a bit more before she giggled. " My playing , huh?" The mogul gave him a sly grin.

"Yes. your very flowy, teasing skirt playing…" Steven said truthfully. "Cheater."

"Not my fault."

"It is cause you meant to distract, with your sexiness on this date.".

The moment that left his lips, the two turned away from each other, feeling the shyness succumb them.

" This. You...Me.Sexy.Date..this.."Connie tripped on her words.

"Um, sorry. I should not have-"

Steven was caught off guard as Connie tippy-toed and kissed Steven on his lips, holding his hands tight.

*chu!*

She landed back on her feet, looking up at him expectantly, seeing his stunned face as he places a hand on his lips. 

"Soft." He whispered as he looked at her.

"I…." She didn't know what to say or how to respond, turning her head down to hide her embarrassment. 

"Connie?"

She looked up and was surprised when he bent over and pressed his lips to hers; the look of surprise melted as she kissed him back, slowly deepening it from a press to a lock. Small pops throughout before the two broke apart after two minutes.

*chu!*

"Soft,"  the two sighed before chuckling secretly.

"Can we do this again?" Steven asked.

"What kiss?" she nodded with a smile.

"I mean."  He blushed. "I was talking about another date, but yes." he chuckled.

Connie giggled with another nod, "I'd want that." She said lovingly. "Can we hang out tomorrow?" A hint of bashfulness hit her face. "If you want to, I mean, I know you do your lessons at guitar center, so...

"Yes! Please!"

Connie jumped at his enthusiastic response before laughing. "Ok…Ok."

"It's a date then." He chuckled.

"Trying to get me in another distracting outfit ." She teased, seeing Steven turned redder than before.

"Well," Steven started," You do have nice...Everything." 

"..So do you." She sighed with a smile before a sudden spark of spunk pushed her to hold his cheek and kiss him one last time more teasingly than the previous two, gently running her tongue upon his teeth and gums, getting a light moan and shiver from the big man.

* Mmmm-chu!*

She backed away to the door of her apartment entrance, face as hot and red as chili pepper." Tomorrow, Biscuit." She gave her 'orc' a flirty grin before tripping over her heel and almost falling but catching herself on the door handle." I fell for you. Hehe." 

Both their eyes widened at her words. Steven was about to respond, when Connie spoke first.

"See you tomorrow, Ioveyoubye."

Steven was left awestruck as he watched her run up the stairs, taking his heart with her. 

Hidden to the both of them, Spinel, Connie's succubus partner, watched the whole scene from Connie's window. Smiling at Steven's dopey, broad smile, his large eyes filled with so much love for her Connie, and that blush trail across his face.

The same one she saw on her Con face when she speaks about her orc.

Hearing the door open and close behind her, Spinel turned to see Connie walk into her bedroom, lying face down.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" She kicked her feet. Spinel was about to say something when…

"AHHHHHH!!!" Steven roared, leaping and throwing his fist in the air as he began to leave. 

"I'm in love!" 

Spinel chuckled at the silly symmetry of the couple's call, sitting on the window sill, looking at moonlight night
