Adam & Eve ✩

You wake up in a virulent paradise, remembering nothing.

Almost nothing, that is. You know your name, though not your past. Not really. You realize that the vast forest you're in can keep you alive with its lush greenery and animal life, but there are also lurking dangers - predators, the elements, and maybe even a sinister force you cannot name. You know you are not alone. There is one other with you.

...and this person is your world. You don't remember them, like much else, yet their face is imprinted on your heart and in your mind. Like you were created for one of them. You know that you love them, in whatever way is possible for you, that you must survive together, and that you must protect them in order to continue this simple life you've carved out with nothing but your name and them.

Still, why can't you shake the feeling that there's a much bigger mystery out there, even if you don't fully understand the idea?

Basically, an Adam and Eve/Garden of Eden/only people on Earth AU shipping romance something or another meme.

((Luv would be fascinating for this, as would Ana. Or any of the synthetics or leading women from the Alien franchise :D ???))

(( Adam is a mud doll. Just saying. ))

... my gem duplicated?

[ Because it's there, on her stomach, as well as she remembers disappearing after Steven's birth. The world is beautiful and just like she remembers, but oddly when she thinks of her friends, they're a distant memory, an old dream, a group you once cared for who you fondly look upon from a distance. Even Greg-- Greg only summons a smile to her face, but nothing deeper.

There is a name engraved on her heart that she feels as though she was meant for. For all the tens of thousands of years she's been in existence, she's the rare cut of Rose Quartz that had been made... for someone. There's not much in the way of spirituality with gems, but there were old legends. People seeing the quarries and thinking they might have found their soulmate in the shapes.

He's next to her, with green hair that matches her pastel shade of pink. ]

You--?

[ To be summoned by man. To be created by the gods. It was all the same to Enkidu in the end. The last time he had closed his eyes was when he and his best friend had parted their ways in his first life. But there were many things he had done before his death. Yet despite them all, even the very face of his cherished friend that he loved like a brother was nothing more than a distant blur as well as his homeland that he had walked and lived with among man.

Yet even so, with all of his memories being fading a best and non-existent at worst; His memory and the warm feeling of nature around him was enough to spring any form of life into him to raise up from the ground to an upright seating position. So it is still a bit of a surprise yet a form of comfort when Enkidu hears that feminine voice so close to him that he shifts a glance over to the source.

He may not be a man, at least not in a traditional sense due to being a being of mud and clay in the shape of man, but even he could recognize something similar yet different about the woman before him. And perhaps that feeling is enough to stir something deep within the heroic spirit to form a gentle smile. ]

And you. Together, that makes it "us", doesn't it?

[ And odd way of phrasing 'we're together now', but there it is. He doesn't seem to be the least bit of perturb about the obvious gem exposed or herself in general. All he knew is that being close to her is enough for him. ]

Us...

[ Rose looks concerned at first, but smiles all the same. She dwarfs him in size, practically, but it doesn't stop her from giving him the gentlest look on the face of the Earth. Especially now that it's just the two of them. ]

Is this my reward? [ She asks him, softly. ] Or my punishment? I did all I could for Earth... but I did a lot of terrible things along the way.

[ She glances his way, with a bit of a surprised look. ]

This is... strange, I know, but I definitely am in love with you. Just from the moment I felt your presence, I--

[ It's strange enough to bear mentioning, at least. Maybe he feels the same way? An empty Earth, free of gem harvesting, allowed to grow and prosper... though it misses humans, its beauty is beyond belief. It's almost enough for her to forget everyone, but she allows herself to hold onto them like a small ache, because she needs to. ]

[ There is a small chuckle that escapes his lips. Not so much at her concerns, but more like being concerned about such things while they are still breathing and living. So his answer more goes with him patting on a patch of grass next to him as he slowly shifts his gaze from her and up towards the blue sky above them that is slowly turning into shades of pink and orange thanks to the position of the sun. ]

Rewards? A punishment? If this is to be any of the sort, I'll gladly take them. If I am to be rewarded with a lovely woman at my side like this when the Earth is at its pure state, then who am I to turn it down? And if this is to be a punishment, then this prison shall be my home. And I can not think of anybody else to share this home with other than you.

[ Another weak laugh comes from Enkidu. Its hard to tell just what is amusing him, but its clear that Rose's presence alone is enough to fill him with enough warmth to allow him to show these human-like emotions. ] And I share your feelings. Or rather, I feel like they were one and the same all along. Perhaps by doing my past deeds, for whatever they are and must be, I have been granted a chance at life to be with someone who I can love and live with.

[ And one more long side gaze as he dips his head to the side to lean on his shoulder to brings his attention back to the pink gem next to him. ] Just as my presence did with you, just being with you fills me with a feeling that cannot be replaced. So much that a weapon like me can feel affections... is it strange for a tool to feel such compassion for one that hasn't even held his chains before? It feels so natural to me, yet I cannot explain why.

My name is... Rose.

Rose Quartz. Love's a weapon, I remember that much... but for a good reason. For the right causes. Love can destroy barriers and keep safe places like this.

[ Rose hangs on to the love she has for her son that much she can't forget, but she's more interested in the man next to her and figuring him out and coming to understand where they both are. She smiles, and it's much less elegant and now more friendly. ]

Who -- [ she giggles, as if this very question is ridiculous ] who are you, my love? Everything I have as memories now are there, but they don't haunt me or hurt me. I want to know everything about you! [ She wipes a small tear from her eye. ] I'm a gem. This body before me you see is a projection of sorts-- it's light made into matter. This-- [ She gestures to the gem in her stomach. ] Is my heart.

Who am I? Mm. Enkidu... yes, that was the name given to me upon my creation and during my first life. Enkidu. And while I am not a gem myself, I am similar to you in ways. But if you wish to know more about me, then I will not disappoint you, my dearest.

[ He raises a hand up in the air first to gather her undivided attention before planting his palm back onto the ground. It almost seems like his hand melded with the very ground at first before pulling it back up with a small pillar of dirt and clay neatly formed into a tower of gems in the same design as hers. ]

My entire body is a weapon formed by the very earth that we walk on. Every bit of nature, to the small fabric of life that this world grants, I am a part of it. In essence, even though I am born from the land that humanity has walked on, I am far from being remotely human other than appearance. But that is fine. As a weapon, I am to be the spear to defend all life from the flora and fauna to the people those who also walk with me.

[ The small earthy gem tower then dissipates back into dirt and falls back to the ground, save for the one that is attached to his hand in which he offers to Rose like a gift. ]

This world has plenty to offer. Plenty of life surging through it. All it needs is a little guidance and a lot of love poured into it to ensure it can continue to grow. Thankfully, my love, I know you may have the ample amount of it to make our home a true paradise. If you take my hand and live with me, if you'd like?

We really aren't that different... I was made from the soil of a planet as well, and to some degree, I can change it... but what I want most in my heart is to protect it. This place, this paradise... it was entrusted to us for some reason. That's cause enough to want to help it grow.

I never... thought I'd meet someone who I could share the same experience with that wasn't a gem. Already, you're so fascinating! Neither of us are human, and it's so...!

[ She gladly takes his hand, the gem beneath her palm lifeless, her understanding that human-made gems are simply like that... but it feels vibrant even when it's cool to the touch.

And she takes his hand and pulls. ]

I'd love to... Enkidu.

[ So she pulls him along with her, through the forest of this grove they've found themselves in, overlooking the ocean in its pink-lit skies and warm orange clouds. Pink flowers scatter through the winds and dandelion flurries pick up with the gentlest breeze, but even weeds have permission to grow. It's almost just like Earth, but tailored to them.

Strawberry fields grow wild, cliff sides that feel too familiar resonate a chord. ]

If this world is just for us, what do we do with it?

[ He was immediately up off his feet the moment she had taken his hand and pulls him along, not offering any resistance or displeasure of her sudden burst of movement through the woodland and up to what seems to be the perfect scenery that was befitting for her. For the two of them, that is.

And to answer her question, the green haired man slowly kneels down to place a palm on the ground and makes the very ground vibrate with a 'pulse' directly from him. And within seconds of that single pulse, the greenery of the trees, the grass, and even the flowers surrounding them bloom into a shinier and more vibrant shade full of life and energy. ]

We do whatever we like, my dear. This world is ours to do as we please. We can start our lives together here just as the two of us and cultivate this world to fit our needs. We could also make ways to breathe life into this world by spreading the joy to our future descendants to live, love, and thrive for the future.

This world, much like you, is beautiful and has so much potential for what it can offer so long as our love for it and each other remains to be true. All we can do is care for it as we care for each other. This is our home, after all. It is only natural for us to provide what we can for it for it to provide for us.

Our future descendants...

[ Could they create a new population, a hybrid of gems and humans? Rose was bound to live forever... Was Enkidu the same way? If so, forever's a long time, certainly enough to populate the planet but she wouldn't dare ruin it with things like the Kindergarten. The stars in her eyes were enough for his speech-- they really were meant to be together, weren't they? Everything he says... was the doctrine she held for the Crystal Gems. Protecting, growing, maintaining the Earth and all its treasures... ]

You're more beautiful than I am, I think!

[ They were both pretty gorgeous, but Enkidu... Rose felt faint at the sight of his face and the idea that they're an Adam and Eve of a new Earth. A planet they could name after whatever they wanted. ]

Then let us create a home.
