Lapis is doing exactly what I want her to do. I need to warn her about the hunt. If taunting her into this is the only way to do that, then so be it. I hold my mouth closed as I get dragged deeper down into the depths of the lake.

I look down at my wrists. There are bright blue chains attached to them. I notice Lapis, glaring at me as I get closer and closer to her each passing second. She curls her hands into fists. Whatever's coming next, it's gonna hurt and I have to be ready to endure the pain.

My eyes are now only feet away from her now. We lock them in on each other as we meet face to face. I smirk. She moves up to me and she presses her lips into mine. I widen my eyes as she brings my tongue down with hers.
She places a hand on my neck and the other on the back of my head.

I grab the back of her head and I force her mouth deeper into mine. She squeezes my throat as she forces my lips into hers. We suffocate and we cough into each other until she lets go of me after a few seconds. I smile and I snicker.

She grabs at my gem with wild eyes.
She slides her fingers off of it before she lets go. She then moves behind me as I raise an eyebrow. She tugs at the rims of my shirt. She yanks it off my body and she punches me in the back.

I jerk my head back as I release a cough full of bubbles. After a few moments, the bottom half of me enters exposure just the same. I gasp out more bubbles and my breath hitches. I shut my eyes and I squint them.

Finally, I exhale, releasing the tension and a mouth enters my ear. "Still think I'm pathetic?" I smile and she jabs at my cheek. She moves back in front of me. She's wearing all of my clothes, except for the jacket and shoes. For a moment, I look upon Eloc before he transforms back into Lapis.

Lapis plays with my chest and I resist almost every moan I could. She punches it when she's done and I gasp, inhaling a mouthful of water. I grab Lapis and I force her back into me. I breathe into her mouth as I cling onto her body.

I hold her head up close as she holds mine up to hers. We make out as we hover in the cold, dark water. I open my eyes as she opens hers. My mouth hangs open as she embraces me. She sucks on my neck as I rest my head on her shoulder.

I peck her cheek before I start sucking on her neck. She rests her own head on my shoulder as I close my eyes. Why? Why does this feel so good? I don't understand. I stop and I embrace her. I bring myself back up to her lips again and I squint my eyes.

All this time, I just didn't know. How could she be the one to stand out above the others? How can we be so tender and so rough with each other at the same time? Is it because I'm like Jasper? Is it because I remind her of Jasper? Or could it be something completely different?

I...I want to stay with her. I want to...die with her. I want her to drown me. If I wasn't a Gem, she could've done it. Can I just let her take me? I have her to keep me down here. For some reason, the water feels warmer now. Why is that?

I open my eyes to see Lapis, blushing. I blush a dark purple as I hold her cheeks. She opens her own eyes and I detach myself from her. I swim down to her pants. She slaps me away and I chuckle. I take in some water and I blow out some bubbles. I move back in and I exhale into her mouth.

I tug against the chains that bind me to her. I look up at the surface, smiling. I close my eyes and I stop moving. Lapis loosens her grip on the chains and she takes my hand. I can feel myself getting dragged back up towards the surface.
