tear drop memories
Water roughly splattered on the ground, darkening the floor beneath, more slowly falling as it slowly created a puddle that extended to blue pearls feet.
Blue pearl looked up forwards her diamond, her arms crossed in the signature diamond position, in a way to show respect to her diamond.
She watched her diamond, watched as she clammored to floor, her knees shaking as she gripped onto the wall, her hair becoming a tangled mess.
The diamond shuttered, her breathing hitching with each sob, her tears and sorrow spreading to every gem in the surrounding area. Thankfully it wasn't too many except the court workers.
“Oh pink…" blue diamond whispered, her voice cracking as the name left her lips.
“My diamond….?" blue pearl asked quietly, not wanting to disturb her diamond grieving, but also not wanting to deal with a tear falling onto her small scrawny body.
Being a pearl, she was made to fade into the background, be nothing more than a servant to her superior. Blue pearl was lucky enough to serve the best gem of all, a diamond. Her diamond. The luminous Blue Diamond.
Blue diamond looked down, another tear dripping down onto the ground, directly in front of her pearl.
“Oh pearl… Do you know what it feels like… To lose someone..? Someone so special…?" she whispered, lowering her hand to the ground and extending it.
Blue pearl saw the hand and knew the cue, she gracefully stepped onto the hand, sitting on her hand as she was raised on the ground, in the palm of blue diamonds hand.
The diamonds, considering their massive size, loved to hold, touch, an toy with smaller gems body's. Typically it fell upon the pearls who got the most physical attention, then consorts, and lastly spoilers.
“My pearl…what do you believe she would've wanted? “ the diamond whispered, cupping her pearl in her hand, an raising her to her face.
“H-huh? My diamond, i don't understand what you mean…” the pearl whispered, staring at ocean blue eyes, diamond shaped pupils staring into her through her bangs.
“What do you think pearl? What do you think she would've wanted for us…?” the diamond whispered again, blue pearl raising the long fabric of her skirt to her diamonds face, drying the tears off her face.
She stayed silent. Thinking of answer.
“You may speak freely.” the diamond said simply, curious as to what her faithful pearl would say.
Blue pearl thought back, back to before pink diamond was shattered, back before the rebellion, back before that renegade pearl.
She remembered conversations between her and pink pearl, back in the good old days, millennia ago.
How her an pink would rest in the garden, how pink would vent an talk about her experiences with her diamond.
Blue pearl would sit there an listen to her talk, for ages, watching as pink would slowly speak faster faster, eventually talking so fast that she would stumble over her words.
Yellow would be complaining about something, and loudly, and white pearl would sit there chastising her.
Truth be told, blue pearl missed those days. But most of all, she missed white.
White pearl was…strict, but she had a soft side. A soft side that was only shown every so often.
White pearls hair stuck up, she had a light grey leotard with white flats, and a clear sheer cape that hung down to her ankles.
“I think… Pink diamond would've wanted goodness to come from her breaking, not sadness." finally said the pearl as she continued to dry tears From her diamond's cheeks.
“Is that so?” questioned blue diamond, moving her head closer to her face, and therefore moving her pearl closer.
“Yes, my diamond.” said the pearl, her voice robotic with perfect ease, crossing her arms in the familiar diamond salute.
“Haha! Such a silly idea!” the diamond bellowed, laughing as yet another tear dripped onto the ground, her hood falling back to reveal her tear stroked laughing face.
“But… An idea… That would be so hers..” the diamond whispered, her voice suddenly heavy with emotion again.
“Thank you, my pearl. Thank you.” she said, bringing the pearl up to her nose.
Blue pearl smiled, "it was my pleasure my diamond” she said as she rised from her knees and leaned in, placing a light kiss onto her diamonds nose.
The diamond giggled, and placed her pearl in the frontal part of her hair.
Blue pearls skinny an small build made a perfect fit for that spot, she was about the same size as her diamonds gem, a bit smaller even.
Blue pearl was smaller than the average pearl, but not by so much that it was noticeable unless you took a second glance, blue pearl preferred it that way.
Yes she understood that she was a pearl, and wasn't destined to be anything but a servant, but how she longed to go live her own life, she longed to be different from the rest.
But…wants and needs we're two different things, blue pearl needed to stay an serve, she wasn't allowed to have a life of her own. She would be too scared of rebellion to try anyways.
She would stay, and serve. For her entire, life.
Until the day, her gem was crumbled into fucking dust.
