Steven Universe One shots [Part two]

I believe Connie needs help too. Get her a therapist.

"Connie! Babe! I'm home!"

Nothing. Not a hello, or an in the bedroom. It was dead silent.

Steven started to get worried. He put his stuff on the floor and walked around the house to places he knew Connie might be.

Nowhere.

Not in the study room. Not in her art room. Not in the gaming room, or the kitchen.

He walked up the stairs and opened the door slowly.

He heard her. Crying. Muttering about how much she hated herself.

He quickly looked around for her. "Connie? Where are you?"

She fell silent. "Please go.." She choked out.

"Not until I find you, baby. Where are you?"

He heard her sniffle and knew she got herself in the closet. He opens the door and found her hiding her face,  she was crying and kicking.

"S-steven?" She mutters.

He nodded and grabbed her hands as best as he could. "I'm here, lets get you out-"

"No. Stay..."

He nodded and sat down. Letting her cry her heart out. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Dreams. Pearl. You. Everyone hates me.." She looked at him.

He frowned. He hated seeing her like this. Her face was red and puffy from crying. He shook his head. "No one hates you, "

She ignores him and continues to rock. She looks at him and stabbed a finger to his gem. "Hurt,"

"No, I'm okay.." He lifted his shirt slowly and showed her the prefect shaped gem. It glowed softly to make sure she really knew. 

She shook her head and wrapped her arms around herself. Her breathing picked up as she rocked more. Her screams being muffled by her knee.

He sighed softly and placed a hand on her. "Shhhh...I'm here, it's okay...Let it out,"

She backed away from him and shook her head. "No. No touch,"

Steven moved his hand and noticed she was having one of her episodes.

She cried and screamed. Not seeming like she would stop anytime soon. But he stayed. He didn't dare move, no matter how many times Connie had kicked him, or hit him. It didn't hurt him anyways, he can handle a lot.

She wasn't mad at him. Steven knew. She was just having an episode, and he wasn't leaving.

When she did finally calm down, he picked her up and kissed her. Healing anything she had done to herself.

She did a lot. Her arms were bleeding, her face had the almost worn outline of her hitting herself.

He sighed softly and rocked slowly with her. Telling her everything was fine. She just sat quietly in his lap and played with his hand.

Connie may seem okay, but under everything, she was hurt and scared. Steven wasn't going to let that stop him from making her happy, and healthy. He would do anything, to make her happy.

Lion found the two not too long after and curled around them. Connie smiled softly and played with his fur to distract her from everything.

Connie in this has a small case of Autism. She also has anxiety and another small case of PTSD.
