It's been a little over a month since Steven and Spinel had officially started dating, and they could not get enough of each other. Everyone at school always mentions the fact that neither of them left each other's side unless it was to go to their separate classes. "Yeeeeesh do you guys need a crowbar to breathe?" Amethyst stated,   looking at Spinel that was sitting on Stevens lap, and Steven was hand feeding Spinel her pizza slice. "Hm? No I have enough napkins" Steven answered, obviously not listening to Amethyst's question. "Ugh get a room you two" Amethyst groaned, which was then followed by Peridot bonking her over the head with her binder. "Leave the two alone, Lapis and me are like that and you don't complain" Peridot stated as Lapis wrapped her arm around Peridots waist. "Yea but I've known you guys longer and for the love of God I don't see you two feeding each other like them" Amethyst stated, jerking her thumb towards Spinel and Steven. "It's probably a good thing that you don't see our feeding sessions~" Lapis smirked, pulling the now madly blushing blonde nerd closer to her. Amethyst rolled her eyes, knowing what Lapis meant by "feeding sessions" and gave a small annoyed groan. "But they're enjoying themselves so let them have their fun" Peridot continued, still blushing from what Lapis said. "But they're together, like, all the time" Amethyst pointed out, Steven and Spinel unaware that Amethyst was talking about them. "True, sometimes it's good to spend some time apart to focus on other things, but they're doing just fine with each other and their free time" Lapis explained "couples hanging out together is a good thing" she finished. "Yeah I guess, but me and Steven need to study for a math test and it's hard to do so when he and Spinel are stuck together like Velcro" Amethyst sighed. "I'll help you study Amethyst, I don't think you'll be able to get Steven away from Spinel at the moment" Peridot chuckled, looking at Spinel and Steven resting their foreheads against each other while smiling and giggling. "Alright fine, but I'll have to prank Steven or something to get him to pay attention to something else" Amethyst sighed in defeat.

    "I still can't believe you were into gymnastics" Steven teased, walking with Spinel in the parking lot. "Yea yea I know, I used to enjoy doing gymnastics at the time.  But I've kinda out grown it" Spinel shrugged, her hand intertwined with Stevens hand. "Haven't you wanted to do anything new since then?" Steven asked, stopping by his car. "Eh not really, besides you, nothing that I haven't wanted to punch yet" Spinel joked, soon letting go of Stevens hand. Steven watched her walk back to her motorcycle and it's as if a lightbulb went off in his head. "I got it, Spinel grab a pair of shorts and a tank top and meet me at my house!" Steven stated enthusiastically before getting in his car and driving home. Spinel raised an eyebrow as she watched her boyfriend drive off before chuckling softly to herself, then she got on her motorcycle and drove back to her house. "Oh there you are, are you going to see Steven again?" Pink Pearl asked, looking up from her book. "Yea, Steven told me to meet him at his house with a pair of shorts and a tank top. I don't know what for but I guess he has something planned" Spinel chuckled before heading to her room to grab the clothes and put them in a small bag. "Hey Spinel, can we talk?" Pink Pearl asked, standing in Spinel's bedroom doorframe. "Sure, what's up?" Spinel asked, her hand wrapped around one of the bags straps. "Well you've been spending a lot of time with Steven, like a lot of time, and I'm afraid that......well.....that you to have become to dependent on each other" Pink Pearl explained her concern, rubbing her arm a little. Spinel cocked her head in confusion as she looked at her pink haired friend, "I don't understand, I don't think we've become to dependent on each other" she simply stated. "Well.....we haven't hung out in a while, like a long while, and you can't go five minutes without mentioning something about Steven that everyone already knows...." Pink Pearl simply stated, looking at her friend with concern. Spinel sighed and frowned from her friends statement, "if you want to hang out with me more, then just say so. Honestly I think Amethyst was saying the same thing earlier, I care for Steven deeply, but I'll talk with Steven and see what he thinks ok?" Pink Pearl smiled softly in content "thank you Spinel, I do want you to have fun with Steven with whatever he has planned" she replied before giving Spinel a hug. Spinel smiled softly as she returned the hug, after saying her goodbyes, she was on her way to Stevens house.

   "Oh good, did you grab the shorts and tank top?" Steven asked as soon as he saw Spinel. "Uh yeah, mind telling me why?" Spinel asked as she got into Stevens car when he entered the drivers side. "Well you said that you didn't find anything interesting to do without punching it, sooooo I think I know something that might interest you for it to become a hobby" Steven smiled as he drove, one of his hands holding Spinel's hand. "Which is?" Spinel asked, her eyebrow raised from curiosity. Steven then grinned widely as he answered with one word, "boxing" was what came out of his mouth. This made Spinel laugh a little "god damn it you're so adorable, so we're heading to the gym?" She asked gently. Steven blushed a bit from her laughter "yea, well I thought that it would be a good hobby for you. Unfortunately I know that the boxing ring is being repaired so we'll have to start small, like a punching bag" he smiled softly. Spinel chuckled at Steven, even though they've been dating for a month, she still can get over how thoughtful and sweet her boyfriend is. Soon the car parked into the Gyms parking lot, which made the couple get out of the car, "I have a membership to this gym and visit here every now and then, and I'm allowed to bring a guest so we should be good" Steven explained as he grabbed his bag from the backseat. Spinel walked with Steven into the gym while carrying her bag. The gym was simple but large, treadmills lined up by a wall with a few TVs, weight lifting benches, a few punching bags that were being unused, locker rooms for both men and woman, and what looked like a stage in the corner that was under construction. Steven showed his membership badge to the lady that was manning the front desk, and walked with Spinel to the locker rooms. "Go ahead and change, I'll.meet you out here when I'm done" Steven simply stated before going into the male's locker room. Spinel sighed a little before going into the females locker room, where she began to change into a short black tank top with a pink skull on the front, short dark pink exercise shorts, then taking out her two ponytails before putting her fuchsia hair up into one whole ponytail, and then putting on her fingerless gloves. Spinel came out of the female locker room and patiently waited for Steven to come out of the male locker room. When Steven did come out of the locker room, he was wearing a sweatband on his forehead, a white exercise shirt, and basketball shorts on. Spinel giggled a little when she saw the male's attire, "you dork, you look so cute~" she grinned before kissing his cheek. Steven blushed a bit from her display of affection, and from what Spinel was wearing, "and you look beautiful~" he smirked, which made the female blush. "I'm going to be on the treadmills ok? Have a go at the punching bags" Steven stated before kissing Spinel's cheek, then walking over to the treadmills. Spinel eyed the male on the treadmill before glancing at one of the punching bags, she walked over to the punching bag and got into a bit of a fighting stance before giving a few punches.

    After a few minutes, Spinel could feel the anger leaving her body as she continued to take it out on the punching bag. However this made her punches increase in strength and speed as she slowly zoned out everything else around her. Soon she saw a flash of Penelope's face on the punching bag, which made the girl extremely pissed off and punch the punching bag so hard that it tore. Spinel panted as she soon came back to her senses, and saw what she did, and honestly she felt a lot better. "Nice punching~" a male voice was heard from behind Spinel, which prompted the female to turn around. The male had puffy well kept hair, a slim figure, and a shit eating grin. "I'm Kevin~" the male spoke, "and who are you?~" he asked. "Spinel, now if you'll leave me alone I want to get back to my workout" she huffed as she started to turn back to face the punching bag. "Aw c'mon baby, I'm just trying to make conversation~" Kevin smirked as he stepped closer to the female. "And I didn't ask you to" Spinel hissed as she turned back to face the male. "Don't be like that baby, I can be great fun~" Kevin continued to smirk as he stepped closer, which made Spinel step back and her back hit the pillar that was holding up the punching bag. "So, can I steal a kiss from you?~" Kevin continued to speak before he started leaning in. Spinel was beyond annoyed and pissed at this moment and went to punch Kevin in the gut, which failed when the male caught her wrist before the punch connected with his stomach. "Mmm I like it when a girl is feisty~" Kevin grinned a she continued to keep his grip on Spinel's wrist. Spinel wasn't expecting her defense to fail like that, and was starting to become nervous as this situation started to spiral out of her control as she struggled to release her wrist from Kevin's fist. All of a sudden, Kevin was pulled backwards when someone gripped the back of his shirt and roughly shoved away from Spinel. Spinel's eyes widen when she saw that it was Steven that had pulled the asshole away from her, and she saw that Steven was very angry. "Ugh Steven, leave us alone will ya?" Kevin groaned, rubbing his neck where the collar of his shirt was pressed into. "Don't you dare touch my girlfriend...." Steven growled, going into protective mode due to the fact that Spinel was in trouble. Spinel had never seen Steven so angry before, nor did she see him be so protective of anyone before, it made her heart jumped seeing Steven being very protective of her. Steven stood in between Spinel and Kevin, looking like he was ready to throw down if it came to that. Kevin rolled his eyes "step aside Steven, I'm in no mood to deal with you" Kevin huffed, getting into a defensive stance. "One last time, leave my girlfriend alone" Steven stated simply, but sternly. "Make me~" Kevin gave his shit eating grin before giving Steven a shove. That set Steven over the edge as he then gave Kevin a well deserved punch into the jaw, knocking the male back onto his butt. Kevin winced as he rubbed his jaw, quickly submitting defeat to the seventeen years old. Damn, that was hot....Was what Spinel thought as she saw Steven's fist collide with Kevin's jaw, which made her hug Steven from behind. "Are you ok Spinel?" Steven asked gently, turning to face his girlfriend before hugging her. "I'm good, thank you..." Spinel replied softly, returning the hug "we should probably go before we get in trouble" she simply stated with a small chuckle after pulling away. "Yea, let's just grab our bags and go" Steven replied before quickly rushing to the male locker room. Spinel did the same, but before she did, she gave Kevin a well deserved kick to the shin before heading to the female locker room. After the two left the locker rooms, Kevin was already gone, in which triggered the couple to sigh in relief before fully leaving the gym.
