"Good morning, best friend!" The pink gem chirped as the sun shone on her face, cueing another day. Senpapi Steven smiled as he rubbed his eyes from his slumber.

"Morning to you too, Spinny. Did ya have anymore nightmares?" He asked, recalling her previous one the other night.

Spinel shook her head. "Nope. This dream was actually good! The Diamonds weren't in it, it was just me and you! I was a giant bunny though, just goin' all over the place, ya know?" She chuckled, recalling her dream. "It was really great! And you were chasing me, trying to win the game of tag we were playing. I looked similar to the bunny you got me yesterday, just so damn fluffy! Almost makes me wanna be a bunny, or better yet make this one come alive!"

Steven chuckled at her adorableness. He was glad she had her mind off her fears, at least for now. He would've told her what he dreamed of, but decided not to due to how morbid it was and didn't want to scare her. Besides, the dream he had would've made him pleased if it happened in reality and could make Spinel feel at least a bit more comfortable since their encounter with the fuckboi yesterday.

The fuckboi.

He smiled slightly at the thought. Kevin would make his day today. Really. For once, he actually wanted to see him, and for a good reason. Surely Spinel would approve. That's if he even tells her, which he might have to do eventually. It was all planned out, their meet. Every step, every little peice of the process was planned ahead. That's what made it so fun, of course! And so malicious. Steven turned his attention back to Spinel. She was so adorable. Just precious. A treasure indeed. The thought of the Diamonds just TRYING to come and confiscate her almost made him snap. But he couldn't let Spinel know that right now. All she needed to know was that he was about to do her a huge favor later on in the day.

"Heh, I can tell you were excited during that dream. A giant Spinel-bunny is the cutest thing I've heard in a while. " He said as Spinel laid her head on his shoulder, still holding the stuffed bunny.

"Yep. Hey Senpapi, can we just stay here and cuddle today? Today I just feel like relaxing with you. Yesterday tired me out a bit."

Dammit...if I leave she's gonna get upset...but I need to get to Kevin today, and it's urgent. I really need to word this as calmly as I can.

"Not right now Spinny," Steven said while trying now to give her a bad misunderstanding. "I have to do something. But, I promise that when I get back we'll cuddle as long as you want. Is that alright? I won't be gone for long."

Spinel looked at him with a bit of disappointment, but nodded anyway. "Promise you'll come back?"

"Promise."

With that he got up and left the room, a slightly nervous Spinel starting to wait for his return. Despite the fact she was starting to get lonely, she actually trusted what Steven said about coming back. He wasn't Pink and was clearly the opposite of his mother. And besides, this friendship felt real. Comapred to being Pink's friend, this actually felt more realistic and more trustworthy. Although, it made her wonder what he was doing, and why she couldn't go along as well.

"Oh well!" She told herself. "His short absence will be worth it!"
-With Steven-
Steven's POV
Everything should be fine after this. Just fine. And besides, me and Spinel both will benefit from this.
I AM doing this for her after all.

Ok, so maybe I'm doing this for my own enjoyment as well, but it's mostly for my little Jester.

Now, since this is Kevin we're talking about, he should get only the best treatment, correct? Definitely. And I have the perfect strategy to give him a little pampering, if that's you wanna call it. Just something to let him know he had no damn right to talk to Spinel like he did. Which is probably why I had that dream last night. It was one of the best.

This is now time for that dream to become a reality. A beautiful one.

A bloody one~

"Steven?" Pearl said from behind me.

"Uh, yeah Pearl?" I replied, nervous she saw me reaching for a knife and got suspicious.

"Me, Garnet, and Amethyst are gonna be out for a while." She explained. "Are you fine with staying here with Spinel for a few days?"

I shook my head. Of course I wouldn't mind. They could be gone forever and I'd be happy to be here with Spinny. "Of course not. I'm fine with it."
As a matter of fact, let's see how many corpses I can get while they're gone.
Pearl nodded and left, while I reached behind me and grabbed the sharpest knife I could get.

I observed it. It was sharp, from the blade to the tip. The tip left a little blood on my finger when I pricked it, but it was a good thing. A great thing to be exact. That's how I know this will please my Jester ultimately.

Perfect.....

No one's POV
Steven smiled as he put the knife in his jacket and left the beach house. This was it. His dream about to become a reality. But he knew definitely he needed to be quick and quiet, otherwise he'd be in some deep shit with the police.

Now...where would that son of a hoe be for me to  murder him senseless?

Then he spotted him: Most likely heading to one of his friends' house, or just looking for someone's day to ruin.
Perfect~ right where I want him.

"Hey, douchebag?"

That sparked Kevin's attention as he turned to face the young hybrid, who was holding the knife in his pocket. "Huh, shorty? Whaddya want?" He sneered in an annoyed manner. Little did he know that his remark wouldn't last him long.

Steven smiled and walked up to him with a cocky grin. "Oh nothing. But let me ask you: Judging on how you approached my Jester yesterday, you seem to have wanted something with her right? Making her your girlfriend, fucking her head up, ya know, the usual. Just tell me, Kevin, what did you really want with her? Since you were flirting with her like an asshole."

"Listen shorty," Kevin said in his fuckboi tone, as if he was trying to 'negotitate and have a nice conversation' and leaned against a wall. "She's obviously into me. You, however, just can't see that. Just face it. I'm hot, you're not. "

"If she was so into you, why was she shaking so much? Surely that's not any sign of love, is it?"

"You wouldn't know. She was shaking because she was intimidated by how hot I was. That's girl logic: They see a hot boy, they try to keep themselves from fainting, and they wonder why they're around such a wimp. LEt's see...like you. Don't be too jealous, shorty. You're just not fit to attract girls, ya know? " Kevin said in a rude manner. His boasting made Steven want to kill him even more.  Which is why his last sentence was...

"Let's see how many girls scream your name when they see you headless." At that moment, Kevin was automatically terrified. But he didn't show it, trying to think he was joking. However, Steven gave a different approach. Before the fuckboi to react, Steven took the knife from his pocket and dug it into his neck.

Blood rushed down the his chest as Kevin's throat kept getting stabbed by the knife's sharp blade. He couldn't breath. He couldn't do anything.
The oozing red liquid was coming out of his mouth now. His murderer wasn't stopping now. To make him (Kevin) feel even more pain than he should, he took a swift kick to his ankle and made him drop down at his height.

Kevin's body went limp. Blood still ran from his throat and neck. He limped down, motionless as Steven grinned. Despite the fact his victim was already done for, he decided to take drastic measures. Taking the knife again, he sliced his head off, and carved a diamond into the headless body's chest.
Kevin's head rolled to Steven's feet, making him grin. He was covered in blood now. His jacket, his face, his hands...all painted with Kevin's crimson red blood.

"Job well done, Stee, job well done..." He told himself as he picked up the severed head. Kevin's dead face was still in tact, with a little drop of blood on his lip. "I think I have some use for you, buddy."

Since the gems were supposedly gone and Spinel was probably busy waiting for him, he could walk in the house and get himself cleaned up with ease. He chuckled as he wrapped the head in his jacket and went back to the beach house.

Good...the CGs are gone. This is a peice of cake.

The hybrid took a shower and hid all the evidence of Kevin's death. He hid his head for later, cause he knew what he was going to do with it.

"Spinel! I'm back!" He called, making the pink gem hug him tightly after she found him in the living room.

"Senpapi!" She chirped. "You're back! It's about time."

"Sorry for giving you the wait, Spins. I had to take care of some things," Steven apologized as he smiled at Spinel. "Now we can do whatever you'd like."

Spinel smiled as she pointed to the couch. "Can we watch a movie and cuddle? I was thinking we could watch this movie called 'Titanic'. I was wondering what it was. Can we watch it?"
Obviously, Senpapi said yes. They put in the movie, and Spinel wrapped her arms around her Senpapi, which to her was one the best moments in her life.

"Steven!?"
....
"Steven!?"
...
"Steven, son! Wake up!"

"Hm...?" Steven muttered as he tried to clear his vision. He woke up to see no other than Greg himself, shaking him frantically. Spinel was alseep as well, her arms still wrapped around him.

"Oh, thank God...I thought it happened to you to..." Greg sighed.

Steven was a bit confused on what his dad was talking about, but he had an idea of what he was panicking about. "Thought what happened to me?" Greg took a minute to keep himself from having a heart attack, for he was still paranoid from his discovery.

"Ya didn't hear? They found that Kevin guy DEAD and BEHEADED!!! They found his body, but no sign of his head! Police have no clue who could've done it. And I feared this killer got to you too. Thank God you're ok...the funeral is tomorrow, and I think we should go, ya know? To show some support to his family and help them grieve...Connie's going to be there too and ya'll are close friends. "

Hehe...this is fucking hilarious.

Steven had to keep himself from laughing, or even smiling at that. So, as much as it pained him to do this, he tried to make it look as if he gave a shit about Kevin and made an expression that many would say meant he was heartbrooken, which he wasn't. "Of course, Dad, I'll be happy to go. Kevin didn't deserve to die. We didn't exactly get along, but whoever killed him is just...wrong..." He said. Now he REALLY wanted to grin. But he couldn't, otherwise he'd blow his cover.

Greg smiled and gave his son a pat on the back. "That'a boy. Glad to see you still have enough room in your heart to attend his funeral. Still, I wonder where his head is. Most likely the casket will be closed if they don't find it soon."

Oh trust me, they won't.

"Yeah...me and Spinel will be there. "

On the inside, he was practically laughing his ass off. Of course, he had to fake his sympathy for at least one more day.

And that was the case for the funeral the next day.

The casket was closed, his parents were crying their eyes out, and even Connie shed a few tears for some reason. Greg went over to Kevin's mom and dad, giving his sorrows and helping them grieve. As for Steven, he was sheading towards a tearful Connie. Spinel went over there as well and put her arm over Connie's shoulder.

"Hey, don't cry!" Spinel encouraged to the girl. "Surely he's in a-"

"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" Connie yelled and pushed Spinel away in anger. "Just leave me alone! "

"I...I was just trying to...-"

"You don't know what it's like to lose the person you love- to see them beheaded and not being able to tell them how you felt! You just don't know! Hey...ya know what...why did you even show up? I bet my life you were the one who killed him!!"

Spinel's feelings were hurt, bad. She didn't want to make Connie mad at her. All she wanted was to comfort her and her loss of her crush. "But I didn't..."

Triggered, Connie pushed her back, almost making her fall. "Of course, that's what they all say. Just fuck off...no one needs you! I bet your victim wouldn't want you here, now would he?"  That was it. Spinel couldn't say anything else. She just nodded sadly, and tried not to show her hurt feelings. However, a certain hybrid saw the whole scene and caught on to his Jester's sadness.

That night, before Connie went to bed, her phone vibrated. It was a text message:
Meet me outside.

And the strange thing was, that scared her the most, was that the message came from Kevin's phone number.
................
Dun-dun-dun....
Here ya go! First murder of this book!  I bet majority of ya'll imagined the scene just to do it XD. Anyway, about the ending....
