Having Pearl this close, her body shaking against hers with every laugh, Garnet can't contain the smile on her cheeks and she wouldn't want to. Her own body prickles and she breathes long breaths to catch up, feeling her heartbeat in her ears.

She has Pearl on her lap and wrapped around her and Pearl's laughing and teasing and Garnet would want to have Pearl be this way as long as possible. She tilts her head back instinctively at the press of Pearl's lips to her neck, feeling the blood rush to her head.

"I'm sorry I'm the worst," but her tone is playful, rather than an actual apology, of course. "You deserve better." She rubs her fingers against Pearl's back, massaging at tense muscles, stopping especially when she feels a tight knot. Pearl really should watch her posture.
