Lapis's P.O.V.

It was amazing to know how (Y/n) can perceive things despite not being able to see. The way he described me made believe that he actually knew me or even knew what I looked like. However, that seemed different that the feet thing. How would that even work and without realizing it, my inner question had already slipped from my lips.

Lapis: Is it possible for you to know what I looked like?

I asked and I wasn't even expecting a yes but that's what I got.

(Y/n): Yes.

My eyes widened at his answer.

Lapis: H-how?

I said confused.

(Y/n): Come here.

He told me before I moved over to him at the table. Standing up, he reached his hands out to me. I wanted to back away from him but stopped myself and then his cool but soft hands rested on my cheeks. I found myself blushing.

(Y/n): Your cheeks suddenly got warm, your blushing aren't you?

I didn't say anything. It's not like I could, I was too embarrassed. I stood motionless, has his hands touched my face.

(Y/n): Hmmm, your rather thin. You have a sizeable noise, nice round eyes. You have a nice hairstyle going on....

He said as he listed all my features accurately. He glided a finger across my bottom lip before backing away.

(Y/n): Your really cute.

He said nonchalantly.

Lapis: T-thank you.

I say shyly. It was silent for a while before one of us spoke up.

(Y/n): Let's do something, I know your probably bored.

Lapis: Not really but what do you have an mind?

(Y/n): Well, I was a baker right and during my time in culinary school I was on a competitive cooking show. I have all the episodes I was in. You can watch them and I can listen.

Lapis: Alright, that sounds interesting.

I said before (Y/n) got up and I followed him into the living room. He didn't take long for him to set up the TV and the first episode of Competition Kitchen came on. We both took a seat on his  comfy sofa.

Lapis: So what am I looking for?

(Y/n): The first episode is when I was chosen as a contestant for the show but I lost the first time I tried but then when the show got remade they changed it up. The show is to get 20 competitors and cook a specific dish chosen by the host but there's a twist. The chefs are able to sabotage each others dishes at any cost to win. The possibilities were outrageous. 1 person gets eliminated each week. They brought me back for the remake since apparently my debut made me popular with the audience.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

Lapis laughed.

Lapis: Now I really want to watch the show.

Lapis said as she looked anxiously at the screen. On episode one, I went head to head with 3 other chefs and everything was starting out fine. We were starting off with something easy, a breakfast sandwich. Everything on my end was cooking fine and I decided to go start on my toast but then out of nowhere, my stove started a grease fire, even though I hadn't even used it yet.

Lapis: Woah.....

Lapis commented. Meanwhile, I had grabbed a fire extinguisher and from there everything went comical. I had actually grabbed a liquid nitrogen tank that we usually used for like instant ice cream or something like that. Let's just say after that, the director had to cut the show short. Lapis laughed the entire episode away. Closing my eyes and listening, I chuckled at myself too. It was one of my most embarrassing moments in my life, it was on national TV after all. I was a lot more clumsy back then. When I think about it, it's been along time since I laughed or had anyone to laugh with. Before I had hoped Lapis would never come back but now I was glad that she did.

Still, a part of me felt I was more of a burden than anything else and that kept me away from everyone for so long. I guess Lapis really does enjoy coming over here. She doesn't seem to be bothered by my lack of sight. She wasn't so forward like Rose. I never understood Rose's purpose but Lapis was subtle and quiet like myself at times. I didn't mind having her over, it's not everyday that I get visitors.

In all the hours we spent in the living room, Lapis and I had binged watched every episode of Competition Kitchen. In the finale, Lapis is surprised that I had one and she was engrossed in the show the entire time. She seemed disappointed when the show season had ended. However, the tape skipped ahead to another video recoding it had on it. Upon hearing what was playing, my head turned towards the TV. This was when I was just a little kid and my mom was recording me in the kitchen. It was then when I had decided at a young age what I had wanted to be when I was older Most kids would have changed there minds years later but not me.

I had came inside after making mud pies from the rain and had tracked dirt into the kitchen. I had on my dads lab coat, trying to imitate the uniform chef's wear. My mother couldn't bring herself to scold me because she thought the scene was cute. How long has it been since I've been in her presence, even now her appearance is blurry in my mind.

Memories of my past flooded into my head and I knew lapis was watching the TV but I didn't want her to see it and hurried over to pull the tape out of the TV.

(Y/n): That was....nothing.

Lapis: That was you wasn't it? You were so small and that woman.....

(Y/n): Y-yeah....

The antique clock in the living room broke the silence. I knew it was 12:00. I hadn't even realized it was that late, I was usually more alert.

Lapis: It's already this late? Peridot's probably wondering where I am.

Is every girl in Beach City named after a gem?

(Y/n): You don't have to leave....I mean, I have more than enough rooms. This house is very big. You can look around if you want.

I told her. I was trying not to sound like I was trying to keep her here against her will, that would be creepy. Though inside, I really did want Lapis to stay. I hadn't even realized how empty and silent it was in this all by myself. the only sound that I heard that wasn't from me was the light tick from clocks or the occasional creeks from the house. Though all I could do was wait for Lapis's answer and respect her decision.

Lapis: Alright. One night doesn't seems too bad.
