I just realized I never posted about my second entry into the @au-roulette challenge! This one was High Seas!
The sixth chapter of Out In The Universe is up! Featuring the cute, the sweet Padparadscha!
“Yeah! You’re all really cool! Super unique!” He turns to Padparadscha, “Can I hug you? I really want to, but I won’t if you don’t want me to.”
Silence. Padparadscha doesn’t really move for a few moments, making Steven concerned he’d said something wrong again. He’s trying really hard to control himself and ease their worries, but this little gem is just so cute he couldn’t contain himself. He’s sure these gems aren’t used to anyone, let alone a diamond, asking their permission… Hopefully he didn’t make things worse.
"... Yes!” She finally says, a small grin gracing her face.
Steven cheers and wraps his arms around her, holding her tight.
