Steven's POV

I laid my head against the back of the seat and couldn't help but think about Connie, and the video she was watching. She wants to kiss me, that sent a nervous chill up my spine. What If she was just watching It to watch something, and It didn't mean anything?  I sighed softly.

"STEVEN! " My dad shouted.

"AHH! WHAT?!" I looked at him startled and wide-eyed.

"What's that road sign!" He laughed.

Connie giggled and I blushed, "Speed limit, geeze. " I said while laughing a bit.

"CORRECT!" He shouted again trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Connie looked less embarrassed, which was good. I would hate for her to feel uncomfortable especially on a day we were supposed to have fun. I tried making her laugh, as we passed by a toco place I exclaimed, "Free sha voka do!"

"Pfft." She snickered. I turned around to face her, "You can't call that a dead meme, vines will never die!" I said while laughing and smiled.

We both laughed and my dad didn't understand the reference, "Free sha what now?" He questioned.

We both laughed even harder at that, I had to try and stop laughing to speak but her laugh was so contagious, It was adorable. "I'll pull it up, oh my gosh, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while. " I smiled and pulled up the video on my phone. Which led to us watching vine compilations on TubeTube. I didn't pick a clean compilation so there were swear words.

"Oh sorry, " I apologized to my dad and turned down the volume.

"Steven, you actually saved the entire planet. I think you're allowed to swear."

We all laughed as my dad pulled into the parking lot. He parked while I unbuckled my seatbelt. I hopped out quickly and opened the door for Connie.

Connie's POV

I was taking off my seatbelt and grabbing my purse when Steven opened the door for me. I blushed a bit.

"Thanks." I smiled sweetly at him and stepped out. Steven shut the door and Greg locked the van. We started to walk towards the restaurant.

Steven's hand brushed against mine when we were walking. We looked at each other at the same time, I smiled like an Idiot while Steven ran ahead and held open the door again.

I blushed again, he was so sweet.

We ate cheeseburgers and joked. The day was going so well, other than me completely embarrassing myself. But Steven was so nice about It, he was so good with situations like that. That's one of the many reasons I loved him.

I blushed at my thought, I love him. I smiled, I felt so comfortable around him, why wouldn't I love him. I was sitting next to Steven In a booth while Greg was on the other side. I held Steven's hand under the table. Steven smiled at me.

We finished lunch and got back In the car to drive to Steven's house.

Steven's POV

After a short drive, we arrived back a the beach house. We got out, again I held open every door possible for Connie. I smiled when I remembered the game I got a few days ago.

"Oh Connie, I have to show you the new game I got." I smiled and walked into the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

"Oo, what game Is It? She questioned.

I got two ice waters while my dad chatted with the Gems. I started walking upstairs and Connie followed.

"You'll have to wait and see, " I teased.

"Oh wow, okay then. " Connie said jokingly offended.

"Here is your water." I handed her the glass while shutting my bedroom door behind us.

"Thanks, " she smiled and took the glass. "Now what Is that game?"

"Okay fine, It's subnautica." I smiled and waited for her reaction.

"OHH, I've been wanting to play that game forever!" She exclaimed while taking a sip of water and setting In on my nightstand.

I laughed a bit, "It's fun, I got a base set up." I said while we both sat on my bed facing the TV.

"Can I play?!" She looked so excited.

"Hmm, I'll think about it." I teased while handing her the controller, giving her a cheeky smile.

We both laughed and she turned the game on. "The graphics are so good, oh my gosh." She exclaimed.

We played for a while and had fun trying to explore caves without dying. She is a lot better than me at the game so she made progress twice as fast.

"How many gameplays did you watch women, my gosh," I said amazed at how much she knew about the game. She laughed, "Tube Tube is what I watch when I'm bored, and I'm bored a lot." She smiled.

"I call you when I'm bored," I said while scrolling through my photos.

"You must be bored a lot too then, " she teased.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I joked and attacked her with tickling.

"Steven!" Connie exclaimed laughing. "S-sstop!" She yelled while laughing more.

"I'm so offended," I said jokingly and stopped.

Connie caught her breath. "Oh, you're gonna get it." She exclaimed and went to grab me. I quickly got up and summoned my shield while laughing.

"That's so unfair!" She shouted while laughing.

I quickly rolled over my bed to the door leading onto the upper part of the patio In my room, I slid the door open.

"How are you going to get me If you can't catch me?" I said while smiling and walking backward towards the steps on the patio.

"Seriously, you're going to die." She leaped up and chased after me. I scream/laughed and summoned my bubble to roll down the steps landing on my feet bottom.

"This Is unbalanced!" Connie must have grabbed a Frisbee from my room cause she ran out onto the patio and slid down the railing on It.

"Whoa.." I said amazed and scared at the same time. "I regret challenging you!" I shouted while running to the other staircase leading to the patio.

"Pfft, well yeah," she said while chasing me.

I saw Lion on the top of the patio leading into the front of the house, I ran up the wooden steps, and leaped into Lion's mane. I waited a moment holding my breath, then peeked my head out. I saw Connie standing In front of Lion. She saw me and yelled "AHA!"

She tried to pull me out of Lion but I pulled her Inside. I smiled cause I couldn't laugh without breathing. She pulled me back out. She landed on top of me.

"Pfft, fine. You caught me." I laughed.

"You bet I did, and that was such a cheap move!" She exclaimed and laughed too.

I blushed when I saw all of the Gems and my dad looking out the large kitchen window at us. Amethyst was laughing. I cleared my throat signaling Connie to look and stood up helping Connie to her feet, not that she needed help.

"We heard screaming, you two okay?" Pearl asked.

"Oh yeah, we're fine. Connie was just threating to kill me." I teased.

She hit my arm playfully, "I did not!" She laughed.

Lion scoffed and walked off because we were jumping In and out of his mane.

"Just kiss already!" Amethyst shouted, Pearl and Garnet, scolded her.

I blushed at her words, and rolled my eyes.

"Shouldn't you kids be getting to that movie?" My dad questioned.

Connie chimed in, "Oh, thank you Mr.universe! I almost forgot."

"Oh please, call me Greg. We're practically family!" He smiled and Connie thanked him.

I smiled and looked at my watch 5:47 pm. "Yeah, we should leave now," I said while pushing open the screen door.

"I need my wallet, I'll grab your purse, Connie." I smiled and rushed up the steps and grabbed those Items. I looked In the mirror quickly to make sure I didn't look awful. I went back down the steps and handed Connie her purse.

"Thanks," She smiled.

"Alright, let's go," I said while starting to walk down the wooden steps of the patio. Connie followed calling over Lion. He reluctantly walked over and let us climb on top of him.

"To the movies!" I shouted ruffling his mane. My heart fluttered when Connie wrapped her arms around me. I blushed and then Lion roared and leaped through the portal.

Connie's POV

We arrived at the movies and we both stepped off Lion, he looked annoyed.

"Go chase a magical lizard Lion," Steven said while patting his head.

I giggled when Lion scoffed and started walking towards the beach.

Steven and I walked over to the ticket booth.

"Two for a dog's purpose please," Steven said while handing the lady his card. "Thank you, " he took the tickets and his card, putting It back In his wallet.

"Thanks for buying the tickets, " I said while we walked inside the building. As always, steven held the door open for me, he was so sweet. I smiled at him.

We walked towards the theater, Steven grabbed my hand. I blushed lightly with a small smile on my face as we walked hand In hand to our seats.

We took our seats near the back.

Steven's POV

The opening ads we're playing when I saw Connie looking at me like she wanted to say something.

"Yes?" I said with a cheeky smile.

"Steven, " she said quietly "are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" She asked cutely. I blushed and got butterflies in my stomach.

"Are you asking me to be your boyfriend?" I smiled.

"Are you answering a question with a question?"

"Yes, " I snickered.

"So, Is that a yes?" She questioned and laughed.

"I'd say so." I grinned and kissed her forehead. I blushed profusely and Interlocked our fingers.

The movie began and Connie and I sat hand in hand. I couldn't get the big smile off my face. She was,

Amazing.
