Steven Universe Keeping It Together Novels & Stories

On entering, I found Steven sitting on his arm chair, staring into the distance and murmuring to himself. "So the dead fan is now a guardian angel to us. How is that even possible? Never had I imagined something like this to happen. Victor, Jules and Justin just believed so quickly. As if something like this is something you find daily. God! These kids are mysterious." I entered the room and took a seat opposite him. Just then, something very weird happened. Steven fidgeted in his seat, as if something umcomfortable was happening, before a small extraordinary sound escaped, releasing a pungent smell.

“Do whatever you want. All my relatives are dead anyway.” Steven pulled out a bunch of fries like he was making conversation. He smiled. “Are you pretending you don’t know, or do you really not know? You still have family back in your hometown. You just chose to forget about them. I was deciding who to visit next. Now I don’t have to think too hard.” Victor’s eyes flew open. “You wouldn’t dare.” “Why wouldn’t I?” Steven’s tone stayed light. “Don’t forget where you are. This is East Coast. And I happen to work for Zachary Reynolds.”

Kevin pauses mid-sentence, watching him. “You’re doing it again.” “Doing what?” “Not being here.” “I’m here.” Kevin studies him for a second, then exhales. “Yeah. Sure.” He doesn’t push. He never really does. Instead, he downs the rest of his drink and leans closer. “I’m grabbing another. Try not to disappear.” “I won’t.” Kevin gives him a look like he doesn’t believe that, then turns and slips into the crowd. Arlo stays where he is.

“Wha-what do you mean by that?” “Do you not realize why Steven treats you differently than other couples? He harbors hatred towards you, which overrides any love he may have for you. This is because he associates your existence with the death of his parents, as you were connected to Mateo. Steven has a vendetta against both you and Mateo, and he is determined to make you both pay for his loss. In his mind, this is the only way he can exact his revenge.”

She remained in the car, held back by my command. “I have Steven with me for protection, and you’re calling Xander. This will all be over soon,” I assured Lea and walked towards the car roaring in our direction. I saw two muscular men coming out of the vehicle. They looked like the Mountain from Game of Thrones but on steroids. ‘Stay close to me all the time, Luna. I can smell they are not humans,’ Steven said in our mind-link. He opened the link between the three of us so that Lea could be aware of the situation as well.

she added, her tone turning serious again, “we’re keeping this a secret for now. Just until we figure things out.” “Of course,” Steven agreed, pressing a quick kiss to her forehead. “It’s our secret.” They stayed like that for a moment longer, just enjoying the closeness, the warmth that radiated between them. It was a new beginning, one that they had both been hesitant to step into, but now that they were here, it felt right. It felt like the start of something real. Eventually, they pulled apart, the reality of their situation settling back in. There was still a mess to clean up, still dishes to wash and furniture to straighten. But now, there was something else too—a quiet, shared underst

“But what if we don’t?” “Let’s stop attracting negative things, bro,” Harris taps Steven’s shoulder. “Let’s continue to strive, okay? You still have me. We’ll continue playing basketball out there. You’ll be designing clothes for a lot of celebrities. Isn’t that your dream? I’m sure we’ll find another reason to live soon if we’ll just be patient to ourselves.” Steven becomes silent as he tries to digest what we have been thinking. “I should find my mom’s,” in a shaking voice, I tell Harris after I calm down. I stand up and am about to walk when I feel a warm handhold on to my right wrist to stop me.

"I'll keep bringing feedback to you and Jude every week, just like you asked." A wave of appreciation washed over me, blending with the stubborn fire blazing in my chest. Even though Steven was only a servant, he never wavered in his commitment to our mission. I said, "Thank you, Steven," with a voice stifled with emotion. Steven nodded, resolve gleaming in his eyes. "We're in this together, Nathan," he replied, certainty in his voice. "Regardless of what happens, we'll fight by your side." ~~~~~~~~~~ AVA'S POV

“You remember the plans right?” I didn’t know why but ever since I told Steven about going to the RedClaw pack, he has been unusually quiet and stiff. He asked for some privacy that he needed to sort something out but I didn’t pry into his private matters. Since then, he became completely lost, his mind zooming out even when I discussed the plan of action. Steven nodded. “I remember everything. In and out, before they notice.” I nodded in approval. I was about to open the car door but a strong arm stopped it.

"Don't worry, bae. You have talent and capability. This failure is just a temporary obstacle. I'll always be by your side." Steven let out a heavy sigh, his face filled with sadness and uncertainty. "I don't know if I can keep trying." Emma leaned in closer, looking into Steven's eyes with unwavering support. "You're stronger than you think, Steven." "Thank you, bae. We should get some rest. I'm exhausted," Steven whispered, planting a gentle kiss on Emma's lips.
