Spinel, after a while, started to hang out more with Steven after school. She also found herself get jealous around single females who talk to Steven for so long, she couldn't figure out why that was the case. A few weeks later, Steven was showing Spinel "Crying Breakfast Friends". She couldn't figure out why the hell the food were so damn emotional, but she enjoyed spending time with Steven since it made him happy, which made her happy. Suddenly the doorbell rang, "I got it!" Steven announced, getting up from his seat to answer the door. Spinel heard Steven open the door, followed by a gasp and squealing mixed with giggling. The fuck? ran through her mind as she got up from the couch, peering around the corner to see Steven having picked up a girl, and spinning her around in joy. Spinel felt the same familiar feeling tug at her heart, she mumbled some obscenities to herself. "Connie I'm so glad to see you! What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat the girl down. Connie giggled a little "I'm on break and decided to come visit~" she smiled, still wearing her school's uniform from earlier that day, which consists of a skirt, a button up shirt and a blazer with the schools emblem on the left of the chest. Spinel approached Steven from behind and snaked her arms around Stevens right arm, catching the male off guard. "O-Oh! Connie, this is Spinel" he introduced the two of them. "You're Spinel? It's nice to meet you~" Connie smiled, holding her hand out for Spinel to shake. "Likewise" Spinel replied, shaking her hand slowly before returning to wrap her arms around Steven. "Uh so we're watching Crying Breakfast Friends, care to join?" Steven asked, using his other hand to rub the back of his neck."sure!" Connie stated excitedly before removing her shoes, and walking to the couch to plop down on the side. Steven sat back down in the middle of the couch, which made Spinel sat down on the other side of the couch. Spinel glanced every now and then at Connie, she tightened her grip on Steven's hand when Connie let her hand fall on Stevens hand. "U-uh Spinel? Can you ease up a bit on your grip?" Steven asked, facing the punk styled goth. "Sorry...." Spinel mumbled an apology, letting her grip slacken a bit.

    Soon Stevens phone rang, "excuse me" Steven smiled gently as he got.up and walked away to answer it. Soon it was just Spinel and Connie on the couch, Spinel resumed her calm and isolating mood. "So....Steven talks about you sometimes" Connie stated, trying to start a conversation to fill the awkward air. "Does he? Like what?" Spinel asked, not looking at Connie as her chin rested on her hand. "Yea, he says how much fun you guys have, he even mentioned when he first met you" Connie explained. Spinel slowly glanced at Connie as she continued to speak. "Yea, honestly I'm a little jealous" Connie chuckled. That perked Spinel's interest, she's jealous? Of me? Spinel mentally asked herself. "Yea, ever since I went to this private school in Empire City last year, i barely have any time to spend with him..." Connie finished "I'm glad he's found a friend like you" she smiled gently at the pink haired girl. Spinel gave a friendly "humph" before smirking at Connie "ya ain't so bad Connie, I think we can be good friends". Connie smiled and nodded in agreement, just in time Steven came and sat back down next to them. "You guys seem chatty, whatcha been talking about?" Steven asked, happy that his two friends were getting along. "Ohhhh nothing much really, we're just getting to know each other~" Spinel answered Steven, resting her head on Stevens shoulder. Connie gave a small chuckle at Spinel being adorable with Steven, despite her appearance.

    As soon as a couple episodes have ended, Steven suggested that they play Video Games in his room, in where both females agreed. The three of them headed up to Stevens room in where he set up his game console with three controllers. Soon they were playing a player versus player fighting game. Steven and Connie laying on their stomachs on Stevens bed while Spinel sat on the floor, leaning back onto the edge of the bed. Steven had rested his chin on top of Spinel's head and had his arms draped over her shoulder, furiously mashing at the buttons on his controller. Connie got up to use the bathroom after they finished a round. Spinel watched her walk off and looked up at Steven "can we talk?" She asked gently. Steven nodded in agreement "sure, something on your mind?" Steven asked, patting the spot next to him. Spinel crawled onto the bed and laid on her back next to him. "Well.....I just remembered something back when you took me out for the day and....when I told that girl to fuck off cause I was your girlfriend, why didn't you object?" She asked. Steven propped his head up using his hand to look at Spinel better. "Hmm....well I think it's because you caught me off guard and told.me to shut up since you like hugging me~" he teased, earning a blush from Spinel. "Y-yea but, another question I have is why do you like me as a friend? I basically almost made you shit yourself a couple times the first time we met" Spinel stated, turning her head to look at Steven. "Well, you're really fun to hang around, sure you can be scary, but we have a lot in common, and it feels nice to hang out with someone you care about" he answered, smiling sweetly. That gooey, warm fuzzy feeling hit her hard this time, but she elected to look away. "Honestly I'm surprised you don't hate me..." She mumbled. "Huh? What do you mean?" Steven asked, confusion in his voice. "Well I almost beat you up several times in the span of a couple days, and lately I've been so clingy and jealous and-" Spinel bit her lip to cut herself off, screaming mentally. "Spinel? Is that why you've been acting odd lately?" Steven asked gently, resting his hand on Spinel's hand. Spinel blushed a bit at his actions, she returned to look at him "maybe...." She admitted.

   Steven gave a small sigh as he gave Spinel's hand a small squeeze. Connie soon entered the bedroom and smirked at the both of them "stop flirting you two, I'm still here~"she teases the pair, which makes Steven and Spinel blush. A couple hours had passed and Connie had to get going, she gave Spinel a hug before giving Steven a hug, followed by giving him a peck on the cheek before saying goodbye. Spinel knew that Connie was just being friendly, but couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when that happened. Steven blushed a bit from the gesture and chuckled a little.

   Spinel soon got a text from Pink Pearl, she checked her phone to see what the message was. "Hey Spinel, the water heater exploded at the house and won't be fixed for a couple days. I'm rooming with the other Pearls for the time being so you'll have to ask Steven or someone if you can stay at their house." Spinel sighed in frustration, she showed Steven the text which made the male pout a bit. "I'm sure it's fine with Garnet, Pearl is on a business trip so we should be good" he told her "I'll go set up the couch ok?". Spinel nodded, watching Steven make his way to the closet and grabbing a couple blankets and pillows and set them up in the couch. "I have spare pajamas if you want to borrow some?" Steven suggested, in which Spinel nodded her head. Steven then went up to his room, running up the stairs eagerly. Spinel followed after him slowly, she entered Stevens room to find him gathering pajamas for her to look at. Spinel chose a pair of shorts and a large shirt that looked more like a night gown. Steven texted Garnet about what's going on as he made his way back down the stairs with Spinel walking next to him. "You'll be ok on your own?" Steven asked gently. "Y-yea I think so...." Spinel answered, taking the pajamas with her into the bathroom, then coming back out changed in those pajamas. Steven blushed a bit, seeing her hair down again as she wore his clothes.

   Spinel snuggled into the blankets and rested her head on the pillows, "just let me know if you need anything ok?" Steven told her, tucking her in a little like the sweetheart he is. Spinel watched him walk off before turning out the light in the living room. Steven then retreated into his room and was soon changed and asleep, however Spinel was still awake. A couple hours passed and Spinel cuddled one of the pillows in an attempt to fall asleep to no avail. She sat up and sighed, thinking that what she was going to do was a bad idea, but decided to do it anyways. Spinel silently made her way up the stairs and silently opened Stevens bedroom door. The brown curly haired boy was snoring softly, content in his sleeping state. Spinel lifted the covers on his bed and crawled into them, snuggling closer to Steven from the front, she then wrapped her arms around the sleeping male. "Huh?...." Steven groaned softly, feeling someone in the bed with him. "I couldn't sleep, please let me stay?..." She asked softly. "Yea sure...." He yawned as he snuggled Spinel back, kinda giving her a kiss on the forehead in the process. Spinel gulped and blushed heavily from what just happened. Did he do that on purpose? Or was that just him being nice, even when sleeping? She repeatedly asked herself before falling asleep.
