💚Peri💚: *What happened? You gucci?*

Steven: *NO! I'm not gucci! I'm having a complete panic attack rn*

💚Peri💚: *Woah, chill Buster. Didn't you leave with Spinel earlier?*

Steven: *Spinel is the problem! She's been hitting on my all night and she's made it pretty clear how horny she is for me. If she wakes up remembering any of this, she's gonna cut my beautiful dick off and dammit Peri I dont want that 🥺*

💚Peri💚: *Simple: Don't do anything with her.*

Steven: *You know Peridot, it's pretty dificult not to do anything to her when she's whispering in my ear like the freak she is 😳 She's said some words in Spanish I don't wanna know*

💚Peri💚: *I mean, I don't know what to do about that kind of thing. But she'll have nothing to be pissed off about if you guys don't fuck or anything. When she wakes up, reassure her that she's still a virgin. Everything else will be history.*

Steven: *I sure hope you're right...I don't even think I can sleep tonight*

💚Peri💚: *Where is she now?*

Steven looked away from his phone and inched the door open. Luckily, she was asleep--passed out but still. The bad thing is, she was shirtless and was in her silky black bra. But our Steven is a good boi.

Steven: *Shirtless and passed out*

💚Peri💚: *Oof...well I wish you luck Steven.*

Steven: *Thanks Peri...*

He sighed and shut his phone off, but not before seeing it was way past midnight. Classes would be HELL in the morning. He knew going anywhere with Lapis would get him in deep trouble. What did he expect? His room mate is half naked, he's tired as hell but with little chance of sleeping tonight, and he still has no idea how to do that project for his professor.

He left the bathroom, glancing at the past out Spinel one last time, before getting changed and try desperately to sleep for even a second.

* * * *

--*BZZT BZZT*--

"Nng..."

--*BZZT BZZT*--

"God dammit..." Spinel groaned and rubbed her aching forehead, grabbing her continuously vibrating phone and shutting it off. Her vision was tilted sideways and her braincells were having a battle of their own inside of her head. Her memory was blurred and it seemed like the room was spinning. What even happened last night?

Well, she was drunk, clearly. And suffering from one hell of a hangover. How she got into this situation was still a mystery. Frankly, she didn't really care how much she had, but she did have one question in mind...

One question that burned in the back of her mind...

One very question that would change her life...

And that one question...

That would possibly get her memory back...

"WHY THE FUCK AM I SHIRTLESS?!?"

She stared down at her bare chest, the only covering was the bra she had on the night before. Her shirt was no where to be found, and what reason would she even take it off in the first place?

Spinel then looked to see if Steven was around. Her best bet he had left earlier knowing he was an early bird. Oh but once she gets her hands on him..

"Oh he's dead-" She hissed to herself as she searched for her missing top before turning on the hot water in the shower in hopes to scrub off those disgusting thoughts she had. After all, it does lead to her conclusion.

She was shirtless, she felt funny, and Steven was a guy; and she knows guys would do anything, no matter the state of the girl, and take any oppurtunity he could to get some. (A/N: I don't actually believe all guys are disgusting perverts, so don't get the wrong idea!)

Spinel scrubbed her skin and try to wash away the belief that she and Steven actually had sex. She wanted no part of his touch on her body and would scrub until it burned so she could make sure of that. God, she hated him. If she didn't hate him then, she knew she hated him now. She knew it; all guys were the same.

But she also wanted to know what happened last night.

Since Spinel knew she couldn't trust anyone (and because she only had 1 friend), Volley was her only option to get a full explanation.

That is, if she wasn't suffering the same hangover she was.

Spinel: *Volley. Me. You. The Cafe. N O W!*

Volls🧁:*Y???*

Spinel: *Just do it*

After sending the message, Spinel took a deep breath, grabbed her locket and hoped for the best.

* * * * *
-College Cafe-

"Ok," Volley slurped her frappucino. "Is there a reason you pretty much forced me down here in such a panic? Yeah, the place you chose has the best coffee and cream cheese buns but still."

The pink haired young adult looked Volley right into her eyes, her posture more straight than the pole her mom is dancing on, and some sort of worry and frustration taking over. "Volley, I need you to tell me EXACTLY what happened last night. I need answers and I need them now!" She begged pretty desperately. Volley jumped back at her desperation.

"You don't remember? We went to a frat party last night."

Well she knew that much. "And?!"

She looked at Spinel with concern. "Nelly is everything is alright? You're being pretty...fidgety and even though I haven't known you that long, I don't think this is your normal after a party."

Spinel groaned and slouched down in her chair in embarrassment. Of course she's not alright. She probably got doggy-styled by the person she hates most last night! Well, there was always the chance that she was just over-reacting and that nothing happened. Maybe her shirt magically flew off in the night? Jesus Christ.

"I'll tell you, but you have to tell me every single thing you remember me doing at that party. Please." Did she know she sounded like a whiny bitch at that moment? Yes. But did she care? Not in the slightest.

"Ok, ok." She took a moment to think, sipping more of her caffeined drink. "Alright. I remember you and Steven got into it once I introduced him to you, even though you already knew him. And afterwards, Lapis had us play a very twisted game of 7 Minutes In Heaven."

Oh boy...

"And once it was your turn, you ended up with Steven. I don't know if you were drunk or anything, but I do remember you having 1 or 2 cups of alcohol, so you were sort of fine. And from what we saw..." She paused and started fiddeling with her fingers nervously; this wasn't a good sign.

Spinel winced. Out of all the things to remember. "Yeah yeah, me and him were tonguing it out. I remember that much..."

Volley chuckled nervously. "Yeah...and after that and a few more rounds we started drinking a lot. After the kiss you left with me and stated talking about how lame the party was, how much you hated Steven, and at one point you got so drunk you actually said he was a good kisser." Spinel's face was a beet red now. "Yeah! You said that you loved the way he used his tongue and the way he caressed you, and you wanted him to keep going."

"Kill me..."

She paused for a moment, trying to recover her own memory. "We pretty much fooled around most of the night. But then I got HELLA drunk and passed out somewhere. I don't know anything else after that, sorry."

This was killing Spinel so softly. She frenched him. And she liked it?! What the hell was she telling Volley yesterday? But she felt worse once she realized that she might have liked it...or maybe she didn't. Her mindset was all over the place right now. She was still processing the fact she let him french the hell out of her. "This fucking sucks! Not only did I kiss the person I hate more than ANYTHING, but I also said I LIKED it?!" #BeatingYourselfUp101. But then it started to add up...

She and him kissed.

He caressed her, according the Volley.

So would that mean they finished what they started in the-

"V-Volley..." Spinel gulped in fear.

"What?"

"Look-" She leaned in and lowered her voice. "I think me and Steven had sex last night..."

Volley gasped and covered her mouth in shock. "You what-?!"

"Sshh! Not so loud!"

"Sorry- But you and Steven Universe? What makes you think you did?"

Spinel's blush grew. "Think about it; Me and him got steamy last night, we kissed, according to you he was doing magic with his hands, and I was drunk! Drunk Girl + 7 Minutes In Heaven + A guy = All night fucking! And to make it worse, I woke up without my shirt this morning! So add up the facts."

"But you know, maybe you were so horny you did it on accident? After all," Volley hinted, with a serious face. "Between you and me, I heard the Mean Pearls talking shit about you and Steven. They even made a video and posted it on the school board."

Yay, the classic mean-bitch-spreading-rumors shit!

"Marigold and Luni saw Steven leaving with you apparently, and Mari told everyone you guys were fucking."

Spinel's jaw dropped. It's barely been a week and a hoe is already talking bullshit. And about her and her enemy no less. "You're lying. PLEASE tell me you're lying."

She shook her head. "No, and people actually believe it too. Cause..." she pointed to the 2 familiar mean girls with a few of their friends watching the video they posted on the board.

"I know, what a whore," Luni laughed.

"That's probably why Universe left so early today." Mari remarked with her arms crossed. "I'm pretty sure he realized how much of a mistake it was to even try fucking her." She smirked evilly. "He should've came with me instead~"

The ego those 2 had was killing Spinel and disgusted her to the max. She knew coming to this damned University was a bad idea, Connor and Imogene should've just let her run off like she wanted. And now she has to deal with a rumor that she feared was true. But there were still questions to be answered, Volley had already done her part.

Now she needed the only other person that could tell her everything.

"Volley..." she muttered. "Where's Steven..."

* * *

The only thing Steven could think of was Spinel and how she was feeling since last night. He couldn't help but feel bad for her. Sure, he had a few drinks himself, but not enough to put him in the state she was in. Would she even remember that she tried hitting on him? How would she react if she didn't, or if she did?

He had left her in the dorm that morning so she could have her hangover in peace. After all, rest was the first thing she needed right now. Really he didn't think he could be around her the same, especially after that kiss they shared...

Seriously, what did the kiss even mean?

Did she still hate him and only did it because it was the rules? Or maybe she put away her hard feelings and did that as a peace treaty?

N a h. . . .

Still in his thoughts, Steven headed towards the vending machine for a soda to clear his mind. As soon as he was getting it, he felt a hand tap onto his shoulder. Looking back was a mistake, because as soon as he did, he got punched down.

"Agh! Fuck, Spinel!" He winced in pain and rubbed his achy cheek. "I didn't even do anything!"

Spinel crossed her arms and glared down at him. "Are you sure? Because every cocksucker at this college says different!"

"What are you talking about?!"

She rolled her eyes and forcefully yanked him up. "Don't play dumb with me, Universe! You know just as good as I what happened last night and what people are saying!"

He tilted his head in confusion (and fear) at her. "What?!"

Yep, he's dead.

"Well since you clearly wanna be slow today..." she snarled. "Marifuck and Luni are telling people we fucked yesterday, and I'm getting called a hell ton of slut-names. Do you know how aggravating it is to be called a whore or something 24/7?"

"Uhm..."

"Exactly! And do you know how bad that makes both us look?" Steven gasped once Spinel grabbed him by his shirt collar and he could see the fire in her eyes.

"You better start explaining what happened between you and me right now or I'm cutting something off that's very important to you. You may think I'm joking, but I've done it before and I will do it again."

As he expected, she wanted answers. But not in the middle of the hallway. They didn't need anyone to spread anymore rumors.

Steven pulled himself from her tight grasp and sighed. "I'll explain everything, it's not what you think. Though we're gonna need some place private, for you know, safety reasons."

Spinel's temper seemed to have died down and the fire in her eyes was put out. "Fine."

So...no apology for punching him? Aight then.

Steven took her to the first empty room he could find; the janitor's closet. It smelled like mold and old mop water, but it'll do for the time being. "Alright, so what was that punch about, huh?"

"Alright..." Spinel began. "I woke up with no memory of what happened last night whatsoever, and when I woke up with no shirt on I freaked out and came to the assumption me and you did something I regret yesterday. I went to Volley and she explained everything...but she doesn't know anything after she passed out."

"About the shirt thing..."

"...Don't tell me we actually-"

"No no no! Not that! We didn't do anything, I promise!" He insisted, hoping not to get his ass kicked. "Look, you came to me being oddly nice to me and it was clear you weren't in the best state. So I took you to the dorms and even though you were..."

"...Was I hitting on you?"

"Yeah you were," Steven hesitated but quickly tried to turn it around. "But I know you were drunk so I didn't take it seriously. Whatever you heard, it didn't happen. I put you to bed, ended the night. Your shirt was off because you thought you and I would get it on, which we didn't. Does that answer enough for you?"

Spinel remained silent. This whole time she blamed Steven for this. Really, it was her being the idiot, not him. The stupidity she was feeling couldn't be measured at that moment. "But that's not what everyone's saying."

"Let me tell you about everyone, Spinel. 'Everyone' doesn't matter. Eventually it'll pass over. It's best we ignore this for now, and don't let Mari get under your skin."

"You don't get it!" She spat angrily. "Whenever a guy gets laid, everyone congratulates him! But if a girl gets laid, all of a sudden she's a whore! But of course you wouldn't know anything about people hating you, would you, Mr. Church Boy Universe, huh?!" She yelled at him with voice cracks to show the frustration she was feeling. "I bet my life, if you go out there, everyone's gonna give you kudos because they believve we actually did it. And then compare it to how I get treated!"

"Spinel-" He tried soothing her, but with no success.

She turned away from him and began heading towards the door in frustration. "You stay away from me, I stay away from you. It'll work out for the both of us."

''Spinel wait-!" But before he could finish, his phone started ringing vibrantly in his pocket. "Peridot?"

"Steven is Spinel with you?"

"Well yeah but-"

"Get her and come to me and Lapis' room. There's something important both of you might wanna see!"
