Intrusions
Ruby glares at us as she blocks our only way out of the cabin in front of us. "Why are you two here?" I bite my lip to keep calm. "Sorry. We didn't know that this is your place. And Sapphire's." Sapphire! Maybe she can help us.
"So you just simply thought that this is your cabin? Just like how you thought the temple was all yours to burn down and run like a dang little circus along with this barn! You just take everything for granted, don't you?!"
I put a finger up, attempting to make a counter to that.
"I...I got nothing." I put the finger back and I look down, gritting my teeth. "That's right. You don't because you know deep down that everything that I just said couldn't be more true than it already is."
Eyeball steps in front of me. "Alright, Ruby. That's enough. I highly suggest that you quit messing with my girlfriend now." Ruby smirks and I facepalm. "Oh. So you two are becoming like Sapphire and I? Well isn't that just cute."
Ruby forces Eyeball up to her ear. However, I am close enough to be within earshot of their conversation due to their being complete silence in the cabin. "Why do you care about her? Do think she's got the hots for you or something?"
I blush simultaneously with Eyeball as she tries to clear her throat to answer. "That was the original reason. Later, I saw that she was going through a lot of pain and stress. I saw her nearly kill herself a couple times."
"And you don't consider that in any way abusive? Depressing?"
"No! I love Amethyst and this is none of your business."
"It is very much my business now more than ever to keep Amethyst in check. Your relationship is my top priority right now." Ruby places a hand on her shoulder.
"So here's my advice. Dump her and get the heck away from this barn. She doesn't deserve you or your love. If you don't do that, I'll give you a single warning before I come over there one night. I really don't care if I intrude on your little session or not. I'll beat you down and I'll shatter you right in front of her and then..."
I've had enough of this. I step in to shove Ruby away from Eyeball. "SHUT UP!" I grab her by the chest of her form. "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUP!" She blushes as I heave, holding back a punch. Ruby smirks. "No." I scream as I launch my punch.
A hand catches it as Ruby backs away. "Thank you, Sapphy." Sapphire whips a glare back at her. "Don't think we have come to terms with each other, Ruby!" Ruby gets up folding her arms with a smug smile on her face.
Besides Yellow, Ruby is one of the only Gems I would want to shatter right now. Sapphire turns back to me. "Don't you dare hurt Ruby! Things are bad enough as it is!"
"Sapphire, we...came to see you."
"Is that an excuse that you made to convince me to let you stay here for as long as possible from Yellow Diamond's Pearl?" I look down. "Perhaps." Sapphire motions us towards her.
"Let's go to the living room and talk then." Eyeball and I exchange glances as Sapphire walks away. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Sorry about that. I guess I'm just doing nothing but scaring you today, huh?"
"Amethyst, I-!"
"Are you two coming?!"
"Yes! Come on." I motion Eyeball forward and we head over to the living room. "Sit wherever you like." Ruby enters the room. "Sapphire, can I talk with you alone for a second?"
"No, Ruby. We have guests. Why don't you go upstairs for right now?"
"And do what exactly?"
"You can bathe, shower, watch TV or sleep." Ruby huffs. "Fine! I'll go watch Crying Breakfast Friends or whatever." Ruby storms up the stairs.
She closes a door behind her and Sapphire turns back to us. "I apologize for that rude welcome Ruby gave you. I was upstairs sleeping until I heard you scream, Amethyst." I look down for a moment.
"Eheheheh. Sorry, Sapphire."
"Now then, I first want to say welcome. This is where Ruby and I reside together even though we have officially split up from Garnet. In human terms, we are divorced now."
"Wait, hold on. How did this even happen between the two of you anyway?" Sapphire looks down. "The three of us understand the truth on what really happened that night. However, Ruby, above all, couldn't disagree with me more than she ever did before."
