Fill, Steven Universe - Trust Yourself little_huntressJanuary 31 2016, 04:21:31 UTC
Steven's blissful laugh as he chases after Lion overfills the room. Painting it with joy. Fluffy white and pink clouds that look like cotton candy blink above him. The floor is a dazzling neon.
He isn't sure where Lion is leading him, and with each step they take they seem to be going further in. Steven is seeing things new for his eyes. His mother's clothes, her weapons, her memories surround him. His chest feels tight at the sight.
Lion finally stops and drops down in the floor, closing his eyes. Laughing Steve cuddles up to him, and he's about to fall asleep too, when a voice calls to him.
He blinks blearily, only to find his mother standing right in front of him. In the flesh. Not a photograph, not a statue, not someone else's memory.
"I've looked for you, Steven," his mother says, her voice mellow. "I wanted to tell you something important."
Steven's irises are wide. He walks over and stands close, but not too close. He doesn't believe his eyes yet.
"What!?"
He's confused, but a ball of excitement and something else he can't quite place begins bubbling up inside him.
Rose smiles, bending down in front of him. Wow, she's beautiful.
"This," Rose tells him, touching his gem with her pointer finger, making him giggle, "makes you special. And you are doing great. Trust yourself and your instincts, Steven. I believe in you."
Her words warm him and take away his worries.
"I'll be the best Crystal Gem ever!" He decides.
Steven wakes up with a huge smile on his face the next day, eyes shining bright.
