An Outcast (Steven Universe x Male Gem Reader x MCU)

The Past

With that, the Chitauri that were making sure that no one escaped from the crowd where Aleena's was placed raised their weapons up, and a moment later began firing at the crowd, killing everyone.

As for the other crowd, the Chitauri just stood in their place, making sure that no one was going to leave the crowd.

Azurite and the surviving Zarans stood, most of them crying the names of the people that were in the other crowd. Azurite being one of them. They knew that their deaths were inevitable, and waited for the invaders to kill them.

Azurite was almost wishing for it. Some of the Zarans were wishing for it to happen too.

But it never did.

He failed them... He failed to keep Aleena safe... He failed to save the people who saw him as one of their own...

Present

"After that, I stayed on Konoritos for about a week, and helped to bury the bodies of the Zarans who weren't spared by them. The main reason why I left is because, I couldn't live there anymore. Being there, would remind me how the people who accepted me as one of their own, my friends, neighbours were murdered without any remorse, and there was nothing I could do to save them." Azurite finished his story.

Steven and Spinel, both completely speechless by what they just heard, stared at Azurite. Neither of the knew what to say to him.

Noticing their silence, Azurite gave a chuckle, but it was more of a sad one, instead of a happy one, as tears began fell down his cheeks, "You wanted to hear this story. Here you go."

Spinel could feel tears forming in her eyes. She and Azurite were both abandoned, but when he finally found a place to call home, and people who thought of him as a family, it all got taken away from him, and he couldn't do anything to stop it. She jumped up from her seat and rushed to him, before giving him the tightiest hug she ever gave to someone.

Azurite was suprised by her sudden movement, but eventually wrapped one arm around her, accepting her hug.

"Azurite..." Steven began, knowing that he has to pick words very carefully. He didn't knew what would he do if something like that happened to him. He couldn't actually imagine himself in a situation where his whole family, and friends were murdered and there would be nothing he could do to stop this from happening, "I'm sorry that it happened to you. I can't imagine what must've been going through your head after that happened."

"I completely isolated myself from other people after that happened. Shi'ra was the only person I talked with. She always there for me when I needed her. There were other people who I was talking to, but the only reason why I was talking with them was because I was doing a contract for them, like with The Collector. I'm sure that Aleena and her family, or even Darnel and Dragan would pity me when would see how I turned out. A guy who sits for most of the time in his ship, barely talks with the people he actually enjoys talking with, because he actually doesn't has that many of them these days, has to rob, and kill people for units, or sometimes, he doesn't even needs people to pay him to make him to do that. They just have to call him the way he doesn't like, because it reminds him of his days in Homeworld, before his banishment where everyone treated him like the worst scum." Azurite continued explaining, not even caring to hide the worst parts about himself, now. Steven and Spinel could feel the pain in his voice as those words were leaving his mouth.

"What about Quill's crew?" Steven continued to ask him more questions.

"After I met them, and helped them destroy Quill's father, they offered me a place in their crew, but I declined their offer. Believe me, I wanted to accept their offer, but I was afraid." Azurite responded, as Steven made a mental note about what he said about Quill's father. He was going to ask him this question later, because now there was no time for this.

"Afraid of what?" He wanted to know.

"Afraid of losing people. I know this may be selfish of me, but I'm afraid of getting close to other people. After what happened to Rin, Karolyn and Aleena, I'm afraid that it'll happen again. I want to be happy again... I want to have a feeling that I belong somewhere again... but I..." Azurite answered, wiping tears from his cheeks, not wanting them to see him cry.

"...Azurite. You don't have to live in fear anymore..." Steven said after a moment of debating what to say to him.

"What do you mean?" Azurite asked him.

"You don't have to live longer like that, anymore. My offer is still active. You can start opening up to others, and start a new life here, on Earth. You can be happy again." Steven offered him a place in Little Homeworld, again. 

"Why are you offering me a place to live in your community? I just confessed to you that I killed people,  because I wanted earn some extra units, or because they called me the way I didn't like. I just fought with you and your friends, so could kidnap a Pearl and take her to The Collector where she would become another on of his servants." Azurite pointed out all of the bad things he said about himself to these two.

"Many gems in Little Homeworld, did something in their lives that their not proud of, but they decided to leave it all behind and start a new life here, and it's working out for them. I'm not trying to force you, but I'm hoping you're going to give it a chance. Eveything is much different, now. It won't be like on Homeworld. I promise." Steven finished what was saying, him and Spinel giving him a comforting smiles.

Azurite sighed, before nodding his head, "...Fine. I'll give it a chance." 

-----

The next 7-10 chapters will focus on Azurite trying to settle down on Earth, and forming a close bond with Spinel, eventually becoming friends with other gems, I will also introduce Shi'ra to the story, where she'll more than just a person you like bringing up, and after that, we'll head to Infinity War.

FunFact: At first, Azurite wasn't going to feel such hatred towards Thanos, instead he would praise him and be one of his followers, and a feared member of Black Order along with Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian. His only weakness would be his love for his little sisters, Gamora and Nebula, even though he hates to admit that to himself.

FunFact 2: Zarans can live up to 125 years.
