Steven idly walked around Beach City, feeling the restlessness deep in his bones. What was he supposed to do now? The universe was at peace, no one was coming to destroy earth and in fact the diamonds were helping the gems they hurt. It's a good thing! He knows it's good, but he can't help but feel the need to, well, help.

The crystal gems had things covered, Connie was studying for her midterm exams, and he was without a task. Sighing, he stepped into the familiar, comforting little shop called the 'Big Donut'.

But of course, his old friends weren't working here anymore.

Lars and Sadie were off doing their own things far away — why was everyone leaving him? He sighed. No! Bad brain, it's a good thing, he internally scolded himself and stepped up to the counter.

"Hey, one chocolate donut please." Steven requested, fishing out his wallet until he realized. You. He lifted his gaze, assessing you. Your poor posture, the bags under your eyes, you looked depressed. He could help you! Help you and get a friend. Two birds with one stone, good thinking myself, heh.

"Oh. Hey. I-I'm uh.. Steven Universe, are you new around here?" He chirped, a hesitant smile adorning his lips. He rubbed the back of his neck, an awkward chuckle escaped him. "We could hangout, if you want. After your shift." He suggested, hoping he came off as friendly. Please please please let me fix you.
