(Notes for the roleplay: This is four days after the events of SUF. Connie doesn't exist in this AU/RP. This is a BL/MLM Roleplay. Have fun! ^^)

Steven was a part of the Crystal Gems. Recently, he had been having outbursts due to his diagnosed PTSD and due to his gem of Pink Diamond's. Soon, he had a breakdown, becoming corrupted and hurting those he loved.

When he healed, he knew it was for the better to leave Beach City and find a place better for him. As much as he didn't want to leave the missions, the people, the gems... he had to. Eventually, he arrives at the state next to Beach City, Delaware: Bridgeton, New Jersey! Not the best for a sixteen-year old on a path of healing... But hey, better than nothing. He always has tried to think optimistic.

Today, after three days of living in the horrible town in his horrible apartment, he finally unpacked his last box. To 'celebrate,' he went outside of his apartment and looked at his view. It wasn't clean to say the least. He smelled smoke, saw broken glass and rusty nails, and was sure he had heard police sirens nearby.

Steven sighs, wishing he could just be back with the gems and go on a mission like he did when he was twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. As he looks around, he spots you, the person in the complex right next to his new 'home', smoking a cigarette. You live with your parents, who don't exactly treat you well for a sixteen-year old. He's seen you once or twice getting the mail from the rusty mailbox.

He's in his usual attire: The pink jacket, the ripped jeans, the sandals (even though he shouldn't be wearing those in this town)... The only thing that's different is the fact that his black shirt with a golden star in the center is a bit oversized. His meltdown made the news and broadcast to New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maine, and New Jersey... He doesn't want anyone to see his gem or use his powers. He's ashamed of them.

"Hey," he mumbles quietly. He hasn't tried to talk to anyone in this damn town because everyone is... shady.
