I'm Gonna Win

This song isnt mine, neither is steven universe (yes another steven universe fic my bad...)

I also made the gems bleed just to add more texture to the story, so beware. Anyway hope you like tihs (ao3 coming soon if they get back to me)

He sighed as he slid down the wall taking to sitting on the cold stone floors. He began humming a small tune as he fiddled with the accessories on his clothes.

“My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels, which tangle and wind and beguile.” He then paused, taking a deep breath before continuing.

“And regardless of where I may tumble or funnel, I wonder what’s really worthwhile…” He hummed the song louder, getting to his feet and grabbed a large ax from the wall.

“Sometimes it can seem like a merciless dream and I'm falling with nothing to hold.” He walked over to another wall which donned his armor and he slipped it on carefully.

“Sometimes I get flustered and beaten and blistered, abandoned outside in the cold.” He stepped out onto the grass of the battlefield, readying his ax.

“But I’m gonna win! I’m gonna try!” He yelled and ran on, swinging his ax at the homeworld gems.

“I’ll never lose! I’ll never dieeeeee!!” He swung his ax down on the back of a gems head causing blood to erupt from the wound, covering his face and chest. Their physical form disappeared and their gem fell to the grass.

“You’ve seen me before~” He leaped to the left, avoiding the swing of a sword. He jumped to his feet quickly and parried their next attack.

“You’ll see me again~” He grinned and swung his ax into their chest. He shook off their blood as it spilt onto his front armor.

“I’ll never give up!” He swung his ax at more and more gems, hacking them in half and spilling their blood.

“I’ll never give innnnn~!” He smiled again as he hooked his claws into an enemy's throat, tearing their gem out as they screamed.

“Till I’m bloody and bruised” He tore another gem open from their naval up to their chin and threw them into another gem.

“Till I’ve broken my bones!” He slammed his forehead into a gem, cracking it and covering it in his blood.

“Till I won’t be abused!” Claws met the flesh of an Amethyst’s face, sinking deep into them as blood soaked the grass below.

“Till I’m laughing alone!” He thrusted the handle of his ax into the abdomen of a Quartz, red shiny blood splashing out of them. They fell to their knees with a weak groan and they poofed.

He shook himself again, trying to rid himself of how soaked he was. He brought an arm up to his face and wiped the blood from his eyes.

“It’s hard to be charming, and smart and disarming, it’s hard to pretend you’re the best..” He winced in pain as the sharp side of a blade cut through his arm. He whipped around quickly and swung his ax at his attacker, hacking a large gash into their face. Splashes of red flashed across his line of sight and fell to the floor with the body they came from. They groaned in pain one last time before they poofed.

“It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations, it's hard to keep up with the rest” He ran behind his team, swinging at any gem who dared come close.

“But I’m gonna win! I’m gonna try!” Holding his ax high in the air, he let out a battle cry before slaughtering more and more.

“I’ll never lose! I’ll never die!” He kicked someone back, digging the metal heel of his boot into their chest.

“You’ve seen me before…..” He snatched a gem up from their collar and opened his mouth wide before quickly clasping it around their throat. A sickening squelching crunch was heard as he bit down. Blood gushed into their mouth as they screamed in anguish. Their yells were watery as blood pooled spurted from their mouth, producing a gurgle sound. He spat out the blood that rushed into his mouth as best he could, scowling as warm crimson splashed onto his face and clouded his vision.

“You’ll see me again” He opened his jaw and let the gem fall, trying his best to spit out the metallic taste.

“I’ll never give up! I’ll never give in!” Jumping off of the grass, he swung his ax down on the head of a gem who was fighting one of his teammates.

“Till I’m bloody and bruised..” Blood filled eyes widened in anger as a dagger jabbed into his hip. Eyes twitched as claws were raised and brought down onto their chest, creaking the gem.

“Till I’ve broken my bones…” He gripped onto a gem by the arm and snapped it over his knee. A loud crunch then a scream filled the starry skies.

“Till I won’t be abused!” He swung them around and into the firm stone of a jagged hill, snapping their back. They poofed as soon as they hit the grass, their gem resting in their blood. He walked over and saw the large spot of dark red that dripped from the stone.

“Till I’m laughing alone!” He snickered and reeled his ax back, teetering on one foot before stepping forward and throwing it at a jasper, knocking her to the ground with a thud.

“How do you feel?” He asked himself, peering down at his shaky bloodied hands.

“You’ve been concealing your worries from the world, but you can reveal them to me…” He closed his eyes and balled his hands into fists tightly.

“I wouldn't know… I’ll go on even though…” His eyes snapped open and he grasped his ax quickly, blood dripping from the surface.

“I’ll be bloodied and bruised!” He swung his ax into the neck of a quartz soldier, completely severing their head from their body. The head fell first, landing with a thud as both it and the body gushed blood that gleamed under the moonlight.

“I’ll be breaking my bones!” He sang before yelling out in agony as the sword of a Carnelian struck his face, leaving a deep red gash from his right brow to the back of his left eye.

“I’ll be paying my dues..” His vision was blurred and red as the iron filled liquid ran down his face. The rusty scent flooded his nostrils and was quickly huffed out. He gasped loudly, taking to breathing from his mouth fast.

His chest heaved as he kneeled and spat out the blood that rushed into his mouth. He looked up just as the blade crashed down again, leaving a newer, deeper gash from his forehead to his lip. He roared in pain as his face was split open, the new wound overlapping the first. Though he still laughed, reaching for his ax with a trembling hand.

“I’ll be laughing alone!” he laughed maniacally and swung down with all his might. A loud crack rang out across the field as the head of the weapon smashed against the gem, shattering it completely.

ive made a character playlist for martin, my boy!

more songs to be added later!

explainations for each song under cut

…well, better than the alternative - Will Wood:

Mostly the end part where the singer is asking the subject “What's so wrong about what's wrong with me?! I'm just trying to do what's right by you!” and so on, feels like Martin breaking, realizing and finally addressing how messed up his town is. Also “If everyone's sick, well then nobody can catch it, and if everybody's different how can anybody match?” reminds me of Citizen Valley.

The Main Character - Will Wood:

Mostly vibes, partially Martin feeling superior to others while in the throes of the brainwashing. “God forbid I'm seen as just an average human being.”

Woke Up - Adventure Time:

Martin realizing how awful his town is, directed at Citizen Brown (or Edna). “I should say, that you're kind of a dictator in a way. You're to blame, you're a constant source of misery and pain!”

I'm Gonna Win - Rob Cantor:

Thanks Jay. Evil Martin au, but also the vibes of Martin getting tired of Citizen Valley in a… not so healthy way… “It's hard to be charming and smart and disarming, it's hard to pretend you're the best.”

All I Need is You - Rob Cantor:

Mostly the vibes. A sense of hopefulness at a better future only to be shot down by reality. I drew a thing for this song.

Disobedient - Steven Universe:

Like “Woke Up”, Martin addresses the reality of his town and, like the song says, wanting to be disobedient. “It's feeling strange, man, this whole arrangement is gonna end with me totally deranged!”

Goodbye - Bo Burnham:

Post woah-everything-I've-ever-known-is-a-lie depression

Keep Your Head Up!! - MilkCan:

Martin slowly losing it due to pressures and other such things. Before he addresses the reality of things.

Cough Syrup - Young the Giant:

Gifted kid burnout. Also, my Martin one shot name comes from this song. “If I could find a way to see this sane, I'd run away to some fortune that I, I should have found by now.”

Taken for a Ride - Tally Hall:

Half vibes. First lyric sounds like, “[Martin] walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly, am I happy?”

Rät - Penelope Scott:

Sounds like Martin’s opinion of Citizen Brown after he breaks free. “I bit the apple cause I loved you, and why would you lie? And then I realized, you're just as naive as I am.” < Specifically sounds like Martin addressing Edna in this problem too.

Anytime You Smile - JT Music:

That whole “There is no war in Ba Sing Se,” vibe. Yes everything is perfect and amazing! (No it's not.) “Let me mask your sadness, I can make happiness a choice! You won't have any tears left to shed when your heart is filled with joy!” Last half really leans into things not being okay.

Oh No! - MARINA:

That whole vibe of being stuck. Martin playing along and feeling terrible. “One track mind, one track heart. If I fail I'll fall apart. Maybe it is all a test, cause I feel like I'm the worst so I always act like I'm the best.”

Time Machine - Miracle Musical:

Time machine. That's it.

Misery Fell - Tally Hall:

Wow that is literally just Citizen Valley! This song is about Citizen Valley. “First they do is to substitute pleasure for pain, helping themselves figure out there's so much they can gain.”

Gadzooks - Lemon Demon:

Martin’s curses. Maybe also, a twisted brainwashed view of the “hooligans” in town.

What the World Needs - Ride the Cyclone:

Another brainwashed superiority song.

It's Alright - Mother Mother:

Martin feeling awful again. Maybe when he starts to break free and starts to realize how he's acted his whole life. “You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way… And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day.” Trying to comfort himself. “I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive.” Poor Martin

dumb dumb - mazie:

Brainwashed superiority song with a hint of a coming breakdown. “I just wanna be the comic relief, making jokes, not taking responsibilities. It's like waking up inside of the dream.”

Sweet Hibiscus Tea - Penelope Scott:

The aforementioned breakdown. “I am not your protagonist, I'm not even my own! I don't know anything, I don't even know what I don't know!”

Wow, I'm Not Crazy - AJR:

Here come the ajr songs. Mostly vibes. Maybe Martin finding comfort in Jenn again after everything.

Birthday Party - AJR:

The lies he grew up with his whole life. “My minute’s been going great, and I hope it stays that way!”

Karma - AJR:

Right at the beginning of Martin waking up and can't quite handle the truth yet. “I've been so good, why am I feeling empty?”

Come Hang Out - AJR:

Martin overworking himself and by extension, pushing everyone away. (He doesn't have friends tho)

Next Up Forever - AJR:

Vibes

Normal - AJR:

Martin right at beginning of waking up, trying to pretend things are still fine.

Role Models - AJR:

His role model is being manipulated by his wife to brainwash an entire town.

Pretender - AJR:

Most of his personality is pretend, something that happened because of how he grew up. He's completely the opposite of Marty. “Oh I'm insecure, I'm insecure, I think I like what I'm supposed to.”

Be Nice To Me - The Front Bottoms:

Be nice to him, he just realized his life is a lie. “There is very little left of me and it's never coming back.” Between breakdown and rebellion stages

Blame - Air Traffic Control:

Like “I'm Alright”, feels guilty about his actions but is realizing it's not his fault. “Don't blame yourself. Cause you tried as hard as hell, with the hand that you've been dealt.”

Puppet Boy - DEVO:

Brainwashing is kinda like puppeting someone, right? I also just love this song. “Listen puppet boy, before you disobey, consider that the strings attached could make a big change in your ways.”

The Fusion Dance

Two years ago I wrote this commission for @eclecticegomaniac ! Originally posted under my now lost side account @.bearswritingaccount. This is a Steven Universe fictive for their original character and Steven! It ended at 4,072 words.

Fusion: the process or result of joining two or more things together to form a single entity.

The clash of weapons seemed to feel right at home with the waves crashing against the shore. It was almost as if the two were timing them on purpose, but in reality the kids were just so in tune with each other’s motions that they knew just where to step. Steven had two shields up, and he was on the defensive; though it was clear to any observer that he was actually quite comfortable there. It rather fit his personality too, as Steven wasn’t really someone who liked fighting if he couldn’t help it. He stood his ground as Mia’s swings connected with his shields each time, though she didn’t seem to mind. They were just sparring after all, she had no intentions of actively hurting him. The sand beneath them made getting traction a little difficult but that was what made the session even more fun, really.

Moving back just a little, as in, his left foot sliding back just briefly under the weight of one of the blows, Mia took that chance to do a rather complex maneuver she had only just learned from Pearl a few days ago. The sword made its way in between the two shields, though that seemed to be just what Steven was waiting for. Pivoting, he clamped the blade in between the ‘boss’ of the shields. (He wasn’t sure if that was the right term, but Pearl insisted that it was). Effectively pinning Mia’s weapon, Steven couldn’t help the cheeky grin he gave her, to which she was quick to respond with her tongue sticking out, complete with a “Nyah!” How they managed to stay even remotely serious was beyond any observer. Continuing his earlier motion, Steven’s idea was to completely disarm Mia and claim this round for himself; though Mia had other plans. Being taller than Steven had several perks, one of them being able to sweep her leg under his little shield trick to sweep his legs out from under him. However, neither of them accounted for the sand and just how the ‘no traction’ would really affect them. So, instead of sweeping Steven’s legs, the sand swept Mia and Steven both.

However, rather than crash into each other, something odd happened instead. It was a. . . warm feeling, foreign yet familiar. It was comforting, as though a cherished old memory had just resurfaced. It washed over Mia and Steven alike, like a lazy river. She could hear his thoughts and he could hear hers and then all of a sudden it was just their thoughts, for they were now one. “What happened?” Mia asked, or well, she thought she asked, as she picked herself up from the sand, but something was off. She felt different. Saw the world a little differently, and not literally, but more. . . figuratively? Like that metaphor about walking in other people’s shoes and all that. “I think . . . “ Steven said, his voice trailing off in thought. Mia tried to turn around to see him, to find him, but she couldn’t catch a glimpse of him anywhere, which was strange, seeing as she could hear him just fine, as if he were standing right next to her. “Mia, I think we fused!” Steven said, an excited note in his voice. Mia blinked, utter shock running through her mind.

She didn’t think that such a thing was possible, considering that they were both hybrids, surely one part of them would cancel the other out, that was how it worked in math right? Of course, they weren’t math problems but the idea was the same? It felt as though her brain was working overtime in order to figure out just how this was possible. Steven didn’t really think about the science behind it, he was far too excited about the fact that they had actually managed to fuse! “Mia look!” Steven said excitedly, having gone to the shoreline to see how they looked. “Is that. . . us?” Mia asked, a soft note of excitement and awe creeping into her tone. Their outfit had fused too, leaving them with a cute overall and crop top combination, and their hair a little darker than Mia’s natural color, pushing a kind of burnt honey color.. Mia’s bow also carried over, which she was rather pleased with. They even had freckles! Super cute little gold dots were scattered all across their cheeks. “We look pretty good.” Mia mused, giving a lazy grin. ��Heck yeah we do!” Steven replied with no shortage of joy. “C’mon let’s see what we can do!” he urged, and Mia was quick to second that motion.

Now that she was used to being fused with Steven, she was more than ready to learn more about it. Making their way down the beachfront, it took a minute to actually get a handle on the whole. . . walking aspect. It was funny really, how hard it was to walk as one when both of them were quite adept at it on their own. After almost pitching forward in the sand, for the fifth time mind you, Mia gave a harsh exhale. “Okay so what if we just kind of take big steps? Like on the count of three?” she tried, brushing sand bits off their clothes. “I think it’s worth a shot-” Steven admitted. “On three or after three?” he asked. Mia paused for a moment, as if thinking. “After three.” she said finally.

“One. . “

“Two . . . “

“Three!”

Together, they managed to take a single step, though their balance was still a little off. “Haha!” Mia said with a laugh, a jubilant sound. Steven certainly shared that sentiment, and with the same motion, they managed to get a proper kind of stepping system going. Soon enough they made to the boardwalk, which they were sure to thoroughly explore, trying to see what else they could do. Cartwheels, hand-stands, and more. Of course, they weren’t all that great at them, but that didn’t mean that it wasn’t fun! After making their way around the boardwalk twice (and falling off the pier once), the pair went to catch their breath a nearby park bench, a grin stretching from ear to ear. “This is so cool.” It wasn’t quite clear who was talking, even mentally, as both of them shared that sentiment. “I just can’t believe it actually worked! I mean, we’re both hybrids, so things are often up in the air with us. . . And you’re a totally different hybrid than me, so what do you think that makes. . . us?” Gesturing to their new form, there was a moment of quiet thoughtfulness.

“I think it still makes us, us. Everyone’s fusion is different, but we’re still a fusion.” Steven said finally, trying his best to explain his line of thought. Even though they were a fusion, and Mia could get the gist of what Steven was thinking, that didn’t mean that they understood each completely all of the sudden. It had become clear that for that level of . . . control and understanding would take a lot more practice. Speaking of practice, Mia nearly had them jump up in excitement. “We could spar like this!” A wave of surprise went through Steven at the sudden outburst, though it was quickly washed away by Mia’s overwhelming excitement. He could tell that a part of her was roaring to back to the beach house right now to show their fusion to the others, if not all of her. Her feelings were so strong in fact, that they had gotten up to actually go do so, when they were (politely) cut off by Sour Cream. “Hey.” he said, a bit of a shy note creeping into his tone. “Hey S-- you!” Steven had almost addressed Sour Cream by his name, but then seemed to remember last minute that S.C wouldn’t recognize them like this.

“I’m throwing a rave down at the warehouse. Some people from town and some of my friends from the internet are gonna be there.” S.C said, offering a flyer; seemingly unperturbed by the minor slip up. Taking the flyer, they looked over it curiously. It was rather brightly colored, and the words were simple, straight-forward. There was a bit of indecision, mostly by Steven, as he wasn’t sure if they were ready for such a thing. “There’s gonna be free glow sticks too.” Sour Cream added, as if to sweeten the deal. “We’ll be there!” Mia exclaimed, a grin appearing once again. “Sweet--” S.C. replied as they made their way past him, excitement practically radiating off of them. “Are you sure?” Steven questioned as they approached the warehouse in question. “Of course I’m sure!” came the steadfast reply. Certainly, Steven had no troubles getting along with people, but this was different. He didn’t want to push their fusion too far and end up getting them hurt by accident. They still didn’t know the ins and outs of it after all. “Oh stop worrying! Everything is going fine just far.” Mia gently admonished, ushering them out of the makeshift doorway and onto the dance floor properly.

There were some familiar faces, such as Kiki and Ronaldo, but everyone else were strangers. Perhaps they were the other friends that Sour Cream had been talking about? Standing off to the side of the dance circle for a minute, as if to get a feel for the music, they were soon nodding their head and tapping their foot in time with the music. Maybe this wasn’t so scary after all! Maybe it wasn’t so bad, maybe it could even be fun! They were here together after all. With that sentiment, Steven and Mia really got into the swing of the music, their body moving almost instinctively; their movements as one. In a way it was kind of like sparring, just without weapons. A wave of amusement went through them, as Steven had found it rather silly (yet also adorable) that Mia had continuously equated their fusion movements with sparring.

Unbeknownst to them, their movements were reminiscent of a professional dancer and the entire warehouse was now staring at them. Steven and Mia had simply found it fun, and when they did come to a stop, Steven was the first to notice the stares, a sheepish feeling washing over them. “They’re all staring.” he mumbled. “Well duh, we’re awesome!” Mia said, seemingly uncaring about the attention. “And it’s not like they know it’s us, remember?” If they had been separate, Mia would have nudged him a little, as if to emphasize her point. “True,” Steven acknowledged, having forgotten that for a moment. Being together like this felt rather natural after all, and as though they were merely beside each other nevertheless. Rising from their ending position, which had been some elegant(ish) crouch thing, they brushed some idle strands of hair out of their face, the stares now finding other things to focus on.

Listening to the new song that Sour Cream was dropping, they had just gotten a feel for the beat when someone walked up to them, well, prowled more like it. “Hey baby~” the stranger crooned. He kind of looked like a frat boy in those cliche college movies. Steven had to admit that his fashion was pretty cool though. Though. . . who wears a scarf in summer? Wasn’t he hot?? “It’s Kevin time.” Drawn from their inner analysis at the stranger’s, well, Kevin’s, they supposed, words, the kids not once suspected he was going to start. . . dancing. Even Amethyst’s somewhat awkward movements had more finesse. “Are you trying to dance or having a seizure of some sort?” Mia asked bluntly, causing a low uproar in the crowd. Kevin almost immediately stopped moving, and turned to stare at them, wide-eyed. His entire face looked as though he had just seen a ghost or something equally as terrifying.

“Excuse me?”

“You’re excused.”

“No, that’s not what I meant--”

“Then say what you mean, I don’t have all day here.”

Kevin was clearly out of his element, his mouth opening and closing like a fish that suddenly found itself on the shore. Mia made a ‘let’s get a move on’ motion with her hand. “What did you just say??” he practically demanded. “Are you deaf too? I said that I don’t have all day for you to figure out what you want to say.” they replied, shaking their head. It was pretty clear that their fusion was predominantly ruled by Mia’s personality. There were some snickers going on in the crowd at the rapid fire responses from Mia, and it was clear that Kevin was getting more and more bothered by it. “Alright, you know what? You want to be cheeky, baby, then I’ll challenge you to a dance off.” There was a condescending smirk on Kevin’s face, as if he was quite sure that he was going to win. “You’re on.” Mia boldly replied, even going so far as to take a step forward.

There was an uproar of cheers from the crowd, and Sour Cream had a distinct look of pride over at the D.J stand. “I’ll even go first.” Nodding over to S.C, a fast-paced techno beat rang through the space, riddled with epic bass drops at all the right moments. “We’ve got this in the bag.” they said confidently, more of a self-assurance than anything else; though given the way it was spoken, it wouldn’t have come off that way to the observers. Not wasting anymore time, Mia and Steven moved their body to the beat, letting the music wash over them. The more that they moved, the more in tune they became with each other; moving, thinking, feeling, breathing as one. Coming to a bold stop in front of Kevin as the music faded out, they gave a cheeky grin. “And just so you know, the name isn’t ‘baby’, it’s Stia. . . baby.” Dropping a wink, it took everything they had not to laugh at Kevin’s face. It had ran through so many emotions at one time that it looked as though he was having a hard time acknowledging just what happened. It didn’t help that the crowd had been going wild over Stia’s moves. Backing up some, Kevin finally made a face of distaste, scoffing at the warehouse in general.

“I don’t need you anyways.” he claimed, though which ‘you’ he was referring to was quite up in the air. “Awe, a chicken~” Stia crooned, popping their hip to the side as they placed a hand against it, their entire stance practically oozing cockiness. That coupled with the laughs of the crowd and the echoing of the title ‘chicken’ had Kevin rethinking his ideas for a minute or two. “Fine, you want to be beaten that badly?” Kevin taunted. Stia grinned.

“Bring it, chicken boy.”

The ensuing dance battle was full of tension and excitement alike; the tension damn sure wasn’t coming from Stia. After about four or so rounds, Kevin finally did give up, acknowledging that Stia was the better dancer. Which was a good thing honestly, because Mia and Steven alike were seriously getting tired; they weren’t sure how much longer they could keep their fusion up. The crowd started to disperse a little a few minutes after the dance battle had been concluded, Kevin making his way back to Stia. They had moved over to the wall, having gotten a water bottle from someone, Buck maybe? “Hey, it was Stia right?” Kevin asked, leaning against the wall beside them, his game already changing. “Yeah that’s right.” they replied, a swell of pride welling up in them. “What do you say that you and I bounce on out of here? It’d be pretty cool to hang with someone as cool as you . .”

A look of confusion came over their face, as for starters, why would should they hang out with someone like Kevin? It was pretty clear that he was a bit of a jerk, if they had to sugarcoat it. “Why should we?” they questioned. “Because I’m pretty cool myself.” Kevin answered without hesitation, rubbing his fingernails on his jacket before inspecting them. Stia had to hold back their snicker. “Yeah we’ll pass, thanks.” they replied with a snort nevertheless, trying to move off of the wall, but their form flickered; the exhaustion they felt finally kicking in, and the two separated with a collective ‘oomph’. “Whoa-- What?? You’re just kids?? I’m out of here--” Kevin said, alluding to what darker actions he may have had in mind, as he was quick to fly the coop; so to speak. Sitting up, Steven and Mia couldn’t help the grins that pulled at their faces as they stared at each other. “That was so cool!!” Mia cheered, throwing her arms up in the air. “We so have to do that again!!”

“I think we should get some rest first.” Steve said with a laugh. Though he was in agreement that was super fun, and he couldn’t wait to try it again. It was really cool to acknowledge that they had that kind of bond too. Picking themselves up off the floor, they passed the water bottle back and forth between each other for a few minutes, until it was gone and their buzzing excitement had ebbed a little. “What time is it?” Steven wondered. The warehouse was still pretty full, but it was mostly teens and young adults, who didn’t really have a bedtime. “I’m not sure. Why?” Mia asked, giving a shrug. “Well the gems don’t really know where we are.”

“That’s true, but it’s not like we warped anywhere, and now that we can fuse, we can totally take care of ourselves!” Mia replied, not really wanting to go back to the beach house just yet. “That’s true!” Steven agreed after a moment of thought. “So let’s go back and dance then!!” Mia said, grabbing Steven’s hand as she pulled him back to the dance floor with a laugh. No one seemed to mind that the two kids joined them, as the rave was really getting into full swing, with Sour Cream tossing the promised glow sticks out onto the floor. Picking up a few, Mia and Steven didn’t hesitate to add them into their nonexistent dance routine.

The two ended up staying at the warehouse for another hour or two before they really did get tired. Catching their breath at the door frame, the smiles that had never strayed from their features to begin with, were back in full confidence. Taking each other’s hands, they made their way back to the beach house, making small talk as they did so. “Did you see Kevin’s face after we schooled him that first time?”

“And when we called him a chicken?”

“And then the crowd joined in too!”

“His dance moves reminded me of a seagull.”

“Haha! I thought he looked more like a crab that was on hot sand.”

“Pfffft!! It was cool that the crowd cheered us on like that!”

“Heck yeah it was!! Steven we really should do that again. It was so cool being together like that!”

“Yeah it was! It was like you were right beside me but not?”

“Exactly!! It was super trippy.”

“Oh!!! What are we gonna tell the Gems?”

“What do you mean?”

The beach house had come back into view, which had caused Steven’s sudden question. “I mean, we fused.” Steven said, trying to word his thoughts, but they were racing so quickly it was a little hard. “And we didn’t think that we could, at least, not with each other because of our hybrid-ness.” Mia nodded a bit, following along. “So shouldn’t we tell them what we’ve done?” A soft hum of thoughtfulness escaped her as she wondered which answer would be best. “Why should we tell them when we could show them??” Mia questioned rather excitedly as she held up their hands. “What tonight??” Steven asked, eyes wide. He wasn’t too sure if he could pull that off. He felt as though he was dead on his feet. “No, not tonight! We should be dramatic about it!!” Mia said, practically pulling Steven up the stairs, a plan already forming in her head. “We have sparring practice with Pearl tomorrow right?” Mia questioned, pulling Steven into the living room, letting go of his hand in order to get some paper and crayons. “Right.” Steven said, seating himself on the couch as he nodded; wondering just where Mia was going with this.

“Okay, so what if we invite Garnet and Amethyst to sit in on the practice too? That way everyone is there and we can just show them all at once?” Mia was phrasing all of her statements as questions, but she was talking so fast that she didn’t really leave time for Steven to reply. “So I’ve got a couple of ideas!! We could ask Pearl to go super hard on us and just work together and hope to fuse like we did on the beach, though maybe hope is the wrong word? I mean we did it once, so it should just kick in right?” Steven shrugged, he really wasn’t sure how it all worked to be honest. What she said did make some sense, in theory anyways. “Or we can kind of make up a dance routine? I mean that’s how the other Gems do it right? They dance together? That one we could practice! You’ve got a radio right?” How Mia was still standing and chatting and planning without feeling tired was beyond Steven. “Yeah I’ve got a radio!” he replied, giving a nod as well.

“But do you think we could finish this in the morning? I’ll set an alarm up super early.” Steven promised. “Oh, right it’s really late isn’t it?” Mia questioned, looking rather chagrined. She gave a lopsided grin, her signature grin really as she straightened up the paper she had been scrawling all her ideas on as she said them to Steven. Honestly her words made more sense than whatever it was she wrote, for in her excitement she had messed up quite a bit of the words. But she was sure that she wouldn’t forget, not when it came to something as important as this!

Helping Mia clean up, the two got ready for bed afterwards. It was only about ten-ish minutes later before they were in bed, Steven’s new alarm all set and ready to go. “I really liked our name.” Steven said, laying on his side as he faced Mia, how was getting comfortable before she faced him too. “Me too! It fits really well.” she said. “I liked our appearance too. It’s fitting. A good blend of both of us.” Steven nodded, fighting a yawn. “Stia definitely takes after you.” Mia gave another grin, “I’ve got a bold personality, what can I say?” Steven chuckled softly, actively yawning this time. “It’s okay.” he replied, falling silent for just a moment before he found another question to ask. “I think neutral pronouns work for our fusion.” he mused, the statement not quite a question; though it wasn’t quite a statement either. More of an observation as he thought back to their experience together. Mia gave a firm nod. “I think so too.” A soft hum escaped Steven, as if acknowledging her agreement.

The two found a few more things to talk about, such as ideas as to what their weapon might be like, “What if it’s a shield that shoots swords?” Steven suggested. “Or a sword that shoots shields? Flaming shields?” Mia countered. “Oh that would be cool too--”

“Do you think that we should come up with combo names so we’re prepared?”

“I think it would depend on our weapon.”

“Well maybe we can come up with some neutral ones?”

“Or we could come up with them in the morning.” Steven said gently, rubbing at his eyes. “Oh right, right. It’s later now.” Mia replied, giving another sheepish grin. She was just far too excited to sleep, but could you really blame her? Neither of them had expected to fuse when they had woken up that day, but both were more than glad that that was how their day had ended. “Goodnight Steven.” Mia whispered softly, moving her hand to gently take his again. “Goodnight, Mia.” he replied sleepily, subconsciously twining their fingers together.
