You are My Universe (MysteriousD/DaddysLittleSkank)

Amethyst collapsed on the floor laughing and rolling around, while Steven just tried not to think about it, but Pearl's blushign did cause him to smile though he was also hidning a smirk. "Chill, P. You do what you want, but it's like me trying to be a proper lady like Rose was. I'm me and that's how I am. It's just hard to picture you being..." Amethyst said as she was struggling to think of the right word. "Passionate like that? Well, there's fusion but that's... cleaner than sex," Steven clarified.
 
Rai hooked Mason's car seat into the van before strapping him in. "We only tease you because we love you." Rai said taking a seat next to Mason. "Besides you overreact to so much that it makes teasing you hilarious!"

"Well I'm glad I could entertain you." Pearl replied sarcastically rolling her eyes.
 
"Is everyone okay with being in?" Greg asked. He had to put everything in sonthere was enough room for everyone along with the stuff that was brought in. o febwveyone eras settled in more or less alright, Greg began driving them back to the Beach House.

"I'm just a phone call away," Greg told Steven and Rai as they were driving. "You're you, P," Amethyst said as she laid back during the drive.
 
"We know." Rai said with a smile. "It should be easy to take care of him. I'm pretty much like a second mom to him, I watch him so much."

"Not like I can be anyone else." Pearl said.
 
"Do you want me to drop you off at the bookstore to meet Diego then, Pearl?" Greg asked her as they were driving through Beach City. It was very nice around this time. The sun was setting and it bathed the small city with an orange glow.

"I'm sure this will be a good experence for the both of you," Greg added to Steven and Rai. "That's true, but just relax, P. If you want to do that, you really go to try and understand," Amethyst told Pearl nonchalantly.
 
"I can walk, Greg, Beach City isn't that big." Pearl said, knowing that the bookstore wasn't on the way to the Beach House.

"Obliviously not tonight it won't." Rai chuckled looking at Mason whose head was tilted to one side. "Mason's already asleep."
 
"That actually reminds me, do you know where he actually lives in?" Greg speaks up. "Uhh... we actually never been to his house before," Steven noted as both Amethyst and Garnet looked at one another, also realizing this. "Do you know, Pearl?" Steven asked her, not being able to recall any time it was mentioned.

"Well, we'll set up the place for him to sleep and check up on him them," Steven told Rai quietly, watching the baby Mason sleep.
 
"No, I don't but it won't be hard to find out." Pearl said. She planned on going back to his place when the bookstore closed. Maybe she'd cook him dinner if he hadn't ate.

"I'm just going to let him sleep in his car seat, it'll be too much of a pain trying to get him to go back to sleep." Rai stated. "I'll just put him by Steven's bed."
 
"Didn't your sister say that he lived like right across the store or something?" Steven asked Rai, suddenly remembering what she said. "Well, the bookstore is right across one of the newer houses so probably Diego lives in one of those," Greg explained.

"You sure that'll be all right?" Steven asked when a Rai said she'd put him on his bed. He wanted to make sure the baby would not roll off the bed or anything.
 
"I don't know, I don't listen to half the stuff that comes out of her mouth." Rai scuffed.

"That's kinda rude." Pearl remarked.

"Half of the stuff that comes out of her mouth is about Lars. If I don't tune her out I'll just end up telling her to just break up with him and get it over with." Rai rolled her eyes. "And I'm just leaving him in his car seat."
 
"All right, well, we're here everyone," Greg said quietly in order not to wake up baby Mason. "We'll help cary the stuff," Greg added before he and AMethyst helped with carrying the baby items while Seven helped Rai with Baby Mason. "See you later," Steven told Pearl as he figured she would be going over to see Diego.
 
Rai unhooked Mason's car seat and carefully carried him inside trying not to jostle him too much. Once inside she gently placed him between Steven's bed and wall as it was out of the way of everyone and somewhat quieter and darker. After that she put Mason's bottles in the fridge to keep them cold, placed his suitcase of clothes by Steven's dresser, and his toys by the couch. She figured she'd set up the pack and play the next day as it may make enough noise to wake Mason. The entire thing just made Rai look like she'd done this her whole life.

Pearl waved and walked to the bookstore. Opening the door she called out to him, "Diego?"
 
Steven just helped out everything away while watching Rai do everything so well. "Oh wow Rai, you're a natural," Steven told her with a big grin on her face as the Gems went off to some usual inspections of the areas, looking to make sure everything was okay in the Gem realms. "Should we go to bed too or is it too early?" he asked her.

"Hey Pearl! How are you doing?" Diego said to her with a smile as he was finishing his closing rounds with the store. He was making sure everything was nice and secure for the night. "Why did you stop by?" he asked her.
 
"I just know what has to be done and I do it." Rai explained. "I'm gonna wash my makeup off, took out my contacts, and get in my pjs. After that I may go on my phone for awhile before going to bed."

"I'm doing good." Pearl smiled. "Do I need a reason to visit my boyfriend?" She asked. "Besides I thought we could go back to your place and I could cook you dinner."
 
"And you're good at it," Steven told Rai as he embraced her from behind whil kissing her cheek, all with a big smile on his face. "All right, I'll change into my PJs too," Steven told her. "Are you wanting to shower?" Diego asked her.

"It's a nice surprise," Diego told her with a smile before he went over to embrace her. When he initially began dating Pearl, both were very awkward about it (though Steven called it endearingly so) and he became more at east and he appreciated these nice surprises.

"That's a nice idea," Diego told her with a smile before he offered his arm for her to take.
 
Rai rolled her eyes when Steven kissed her cheek before kissing him on the lips. "No, I took one this morning." She said before grabbing her backpack a heading to the bathroom.

"Okay, let's go then!" Pearl said with a smile taking Diego's arm. "What are you in the mood for?" She asked still smiling.
 
"All right, I was just wanting to know," Steven told her after he kissed her back on the lips. When he saw her enter the bathroom, he then went into his bedroom and began changing his clothes and going into his PJs. He was beginning to think about something though he wasn't sure what.

"How are you feeling, Rai?" Steven asked her when he finished getting dressed into his PJs.

Diego was walking back to his home and it was indeed only a short walk from the bookstore to his home. "How did the dinner go?" he asked.
 
Rai walked out of the bathroom after she had changed, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. "Yeah, I'm fine, why?" She asked with clear concern on her face.

"Chris's parents were great, but Molly's parents" Pearl sighed. "Molly's parents were terrible. They didn't like Steven purely because he isn't Greek."
 
"I guess I just worry that I'm not being a good boyfriend to you," Steven said before softly laid down on the bed. "I mean, I didnt like what yur other grandparents' said, but I guess it's just also... I'm not like direct or forward like some other guys, and I feel like that frustrates you alot," Steven confessed as he looked at the ceiling.

"Yeesh, sorry to hear," Diego commented. "Yeah, there are a few people like that unofrtunately. Although it does look like overall it went okay," Diego added, smiling to try and lighten the mood. "I'm sure Steven and Rai will also do a good job taking care of Mason," he added as he recalled what the two will be doing.
 
Rai sat next to Steven on the bed and sighed. "Steven, I'm dating because you're you. I love how sweet you are, I love your laugh, I love kind you are, I love that you see the good in people, I love how safe I feel with you, I love how different you are than everyone else, I love that you are the nicest person I've ever known, and most importantly I love you." She leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Do I get frustrated? Yes, but that's too be expected in every relationship. And as far as my other grandparents are concerned," she took a deep breath, "Steven, I went to bed more nights than I could count terrified I'd wake up and have to pack my bags and leave everything I'd ever known to live with people I barely knew anything about." She wiped a tear away. "They accused my dad of terrible things, the worst things a father could be accused of and I had to go in front of a jury and tell them that my father wasn't doing those things. To make it worse we were put into protective custody and our father wasn't even allowed to touch us because my grandparents accused him of touching us inappropriately."

"I think it upset Steven, but Chris' parents explained that Rai wants nothing to do with them." Pearl sighed. "I did get a whole new perspective of her."
 
Steven turned to Rai and heard of what she said regarding everything of their relationship. He did smile back when she kissed him on the forehead. However, that became one of concern when he heard of everything her grandparents. Steven went over to her and embraced her to help comfort her. "That's not right. No one should have to go and deal with that," he said before he was thinking. "It reminds me of when I asked Diego about lawsuits and he told me about something called counter-suing," he said, turning to Rai.

"Well, they don't sound like pleasant people in that case and it's good Rai stood up for them," Diego noted before they arrived at the house. He was unlocking the door for them. "How did you feel about it?" he asked her.
 
"My dad won't do that, he blames himself for what happened to my mom. In his mind he deserves what they throw at him but his children don't." Rai stated. "But it's like what I said earlier, Dennis is the only one of us that has a relationship with them and even that's strained. I mean they didn't meet Sadie until a couple of days ago and they were blatantly insulting her right in front of her, Mason, and Barb. Dennis said that Sadie and Barb should take Mason home and when they left Dennis went off on them, telling them that he's the only one of Molly's children that want anything to do with them and insulting the mother of his child is the perfect way to get him to want nothing to do with them too. Sadie was pissed the next day when I picked Mason up from the Big Donut so I told her that after she left Dennis ripped them a new one. And I would have done that for you but it's not worth my time since I don't care about them."

"I think I can speak for Greg, Garnet, and Amethyst when I say I wanted to punch them." Pearl said, creepily staying calm. "I helped raise Steven and seeing the way they were acting pissed me off."
 
"It's not his fault though. It doesn't make any sense though," Steven responded with what was said. "Well, I'm kinda glad DIego didn't come. He uh... he has a temper," Steven said with a sheepish chuckle. "But yeah, that doesn't sound fair to anyone," he said before embracing her. "Just wish there was something that could be done," he added.

Diego raised an eyebrow at Pearl's response. Why she was still prim and proper, he did notice she became a bit mroe casual in her speech and mannerisms. "That's the first time I heard you swear... like ever," he added. "they must be real pieces of work to make you upset for that," Diego noted. He opened the door.

" Welcome to my home," he said. "It was a small but cozy place, filled with various nerdy decorations, but beyond that, it was actually somewhat plain.
 
"My suggestion would be have them come back and insult Sadie a couple of times in front of Barb, she'll put those two in their place." Rai chuckled. "I think the only reason she didn't do it at dinner was because of Mason."

"They were and Chris' parents even said that they were probably going to try to get Raiden to break up with Steven and go into an arranged marriage with some Greek boy." Pearl said as she looked around at her new surroundings. "It's lovely."
 
Steven culdn't help but chuckle back before embracing Rai. "I do wanna make you happy though. Your smile means so much to me," Steven told her as he embraced her and then kissed her. "I guess we're both pretty bummed with what happened. But no one blames you for it though," Steven added.

"Yeah, it's a small place, but I call it home," Diego said as he gave her the tour. There were the basic things like a kitchen, two bathrooms and two bedrooms, but beyond that and a few blank rooms, it wasn't much. A small home, but a nice one. "It's certainly very comfortable," Diego said as he sat on the couch. "Thanks for cooking. I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time," he confessed.
