“Yellow?” Blue was uncharacteristically hesitant.
Yellow Diamond half turned to glance her way. It was another day in the great Diamond Authority, another series of reports and hearings for Blue to rule upon, and conquests for Yellow to send amongst the stars.
“What is it, Blue?”
Blue Diamond glanced down, the light of her tablet reflecting against the dark pools of her eyes. “I noticed the humans in their enclosure doing something unusual.”
“They’re humans Blue.” Yellow had said, her voice taking on a hint of disdain as she mentioned the Human Zoo erected in Pink’s honor. “When aren’t they doing something ‘unusual’.”
Blue laughed softly, less a sound and more the slight shake of her shoulders and a huff of air. “So true, sister.”
She stopped, and instead of putting her tablet away, she simply gestured for her Pearl to zoom the view in on a pair of humans. Their arms were around one another, their …lips? Yes, Lips, locked together as they writhed about in a passionate tangle “It seems to be a ritual, between mated pairs…ones with a bond, it seems.”
“Your point, Blue?” Yellow had stopped typing, turned in her great chair to face her fellow diamond, her sister, with a quirk of her lips into a wry and imperious smile.
Blue folded her hands upon her lap, something coy piercing her usual serenity. “I would like to give it a try, Yellow. This ritual”
“You’ve cracked, Blue.” Yellow said dryly “I hope you’re not planning on wasting your time trying human rituals with your pearl, like Pi…” , but Blue held up her hand, shaking her head as she cut her off.
“No, Yellow.” She said slowly “I meant I wished to try with you.”
That was enough to give the command chamber a long moment of silence. Blue Pearl’s hands snapped over her mouth, Yellow Pearl stared in shock with widened eyes. Neither said a word to break the heavy silence between the Diamonds. They didn’t dare.
Blue’s dress trailed along the ground as she stood, and drifted her way across the room to find herself in Yellow’s lap, draped like a waterfall against her, with an arm looping her sister’s strong shoulders. “For science’s sake, if nothing else. For the great Diamond Authority.”
Yellow stared down at her with a bemused smile , golden fingers curled against her sister’s pale blue chin. “If nothing else, Blue.”
