I guess... it made me actually want to try my hardest, to keep the promise I made. Because I don't want Cinnabar to be taken to the moon. He's smart, has great judgment... we need him... I need him.

....?!

[HE'S PRETTY SURE HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HEAR THAT...BUT IT'S TOO LATE AND HIS MERCURY IS STARTING TO ACT UP AND BUBBLE....]

C-Cinnabar?! You heard all that?!

[Ordinarily he'd be embarrassed but at the same time he looks to the red gem]

C-Calm down! And just so you know I meant every word!

[He was going to respond. He really was going to, but Cinnabar.exe has crashed and the result is--]

Guh--

[--The mercury is bubbling rather violently and its coming out of his mouth too.]

Uh oh.... Oh this is bad.

[You don't say Phos?]

Would... Would it help if I back off until you can get your mercury under control?

[If only the term 'Captain Obvious' existed amongst the Gems. Nevertheless, in this state--The most he can do is manage a weak nod while he's trying to cover his mouth while mercury continues to bubble out.]

Loving Maki is like having been in the snow and the winter sun finally comes out to warm you. Loving Maki is one of the reasons that now I feel...I feel like it's okay for me to live.

!!!!!

[Sometimes, she thinks to herself: "Yuuta cannot possibly say something even more embarrassing than everything he's already said in the entirety of the time we have been dating." Life seems to enjoy clowning her with this, and it's showing in how red her face is becoming from the heartfelt words.

And rather than feeling like strangling him for it, she feels the same way she did when he once said to her with that stupid smile of his: "I want to be like you, Maki-san." It fills her with the strong urge to start crying, so she's going to be looking off to the side with her bangs mostly obscuring her eyes.]

--You're so freaking stupid.

[After managing to get those words out, she shoves his head--But it's not nearly as hard as she usually does it.]

Of course it's fine to live, you should live for yourself.

You've opened my eyes to the true meaning of love and what it is to fully trust someone. I've learned how to talk about things, everything. I know how to share my life fully, and listen to someone. I know the meaning of having a home, and a person and you've made me a better version of me. I was so lost before you, and now I'm found.

I love you Jason Todd, and without you I am nothing, with you, I am and have everything.

Damn... you're fucking beautiful. Everything about you, but mostly your heart.

I can honestly say the same about you, and that's why we're perfect together. You complete the craziest puzzle that ever was by matching every one of my pieces.

You always have the right words to make me feel it, too. I know I can't always express myself the same way, but I feel it too. All of that, I feel it too.

Loving Euc... has given me a place where I can relax even if only for a bit of time. Also taught me the importance of having someone reliable you trust being there to help you. Honestly I'm grateful for Euclase every day.

[The two-tone colored Gem can only smile softly hearing those heartfelt (or stonefelt?) words from Jade, arms carefully folded behind her back. The sentiments are mutual, incredibly so, even if not everyone can immediately tell from a mere glance, and they've been as much for quite some time now.

In part, her stability was knowing Jade was her rock, that he was always going to come back.]

I love you too, Jade.

A-Ah glad to hear it.

[On the outside Jade is trying to play it cool, on the inside he's a blushing mess]

Of course I'd feel the same.

[He's always there; he's her support, her pillar. In fact, she's able to be as stable as she is because Jade was always there.]

I'm happy to hear that Euc.

[He stayed a little closer to Euclase, careful not cause any accidental cracking due to the difference in their hardness levels.

[She decides to flirt with danger just a bit (but not too much, rather not make Jade worry after all) and inches just a bit closer. She's painfully aware of the difference in their hardness levels, that he worries, but--]

--You don't have to worry about breaking me, Jade. Even if you did, well...If it's you, I wouldn't mind.
