all i want to be is someone who gets to see

Who: Steven Universe and YOU.
Where: Various places.
When: June 16th and onward.
What: Steven Universe has been left in LA while his assorted moms save the universe or something. He brought a lion.
Warnings: TOO CUTE TO LIVE.

[FIRST DAY: ALPHA FORCE TOWER]

He's already said his goodbyes. A few times, in fact. In between the crying and the pleading. He'd initially insisted that it was no big deal and that he was a big kid who could handle himself just fine, but being actually faced with the Gems just vanishing for who knows how long...well, Steven had always been an emotional kid.

His tears have dried by now, and he is finally certain that he's been left to his own devices. The Gems had to talk to some of the Alpha Force before leaving, but Steven had scarcely participated, feeling uncomfortable and wary of the whole thing. His natural sense of curiousity and wonder at being in a new place could only do so much in the face of such a totally drastic change in circumstances.

He wanders around the tower, prodding at things that he probably shouldn't, and generally moping in all the expected ways. His tummy hurts, and it's not because he's hungry.

[ON THE TOWN: AND ON A LION!]

As expected, Lion deigns to show himself a day or so after Steven arrives, and he immediately takes the opportunity to frolic with all his might. Staying still is making Steven feel nervous and worried, and so he decides what he really need to do is give himself a tour of the city. You know, without really telling anyone. He never had to in Beach City, so why should he here?

Especially when he is literally riding around a massive pink lion bareback.

He can be found in various parts of the city with a ukulele strapped to his back, and some kind of map he has probably picked up from a gas station. Unfortunately he has no idea how to read it, and despite spending quite a bit of time discussing it with Lion, his mount appears to have few answers for the boy.

[AUTOBOT CENTRAL: THE SMALLEST HUMAN EVER]

It doesn't take long for someone to let the fact slip that CONDOR is also hosting a selection of giant robots, and once Steven knows about it, it is impossible to stop him. It takes some doing to beg and nag the information out of people, but eventually someone caves and escorts him there, if only to make him stop asking.

Steven sneaks into the massive botcave, looking positively astonished, even before he sees any aliens. He stands somewhere near the entrance, gawking shamelessly.

"Whoaaa..."

Chris is... possibly not actually supposed to be in the tower. He's not actually sure what the rules on this kind of thing are, but no one had objected to him being here so far once he had explained what he was doing and they verified that he wasn't lying about being a Trailblazer so. Whatever.

He's trying to find Maxxie by way of finding Tommy's room because they need to have a Talk about House Things, but he has no idea where exactly that is so he's kind of just wandering about aimlessly in the hopes he'll find it when he stumbles across a sad child. Chris starts to just walk on by but goddammit sad children are just the saddest things in the world so he turns around and walks over to Steven.

"What's wrong?" Chris sticks his hands in his pockets, looking down at this small human, "you, uh... Are you lost or something?"

"Nah, I'm just looking for a mate." He squints right back at Steven. He looks way too young to be on Alpha Force but honestly you never know with heroes these days, "are you?"

Kids who want to be heroes is something Chris (thinks he) has experience with now, at least. He grins down at Steven, "bet you could be though, yeah?"
