Someone requested another crossover meme, but -- why stick with just crossovers? Here's your chance to request things from any fandom you like -- especially if the fandom is small, obscure, or has no request type of meme available. Hopefully someone else will come along and fill it out, or someone else's request will spark something off in your head that you just have to write --

So here you go!

Too Young

[(Anonymous)]

She's still a child, Steven tells himself every time her presence makes his chest tighten. He tries to convince himself he simply admires May's spirit and pluck, or envies her innocence.

But when she smiles, when she says his name with such awe and respect, when her cheek leans against his shoulder as they navigate their way through Granite Cave...every word and gesture is just another painful way of driving the point home, making him face the truth.

I love her.

His feelings are wrong and he knows it. She's only twelve, and while Steven isn't yet an old man he's still too old for May.

Sometimes he lets himself believe she might feel the same way, even a little. There's a sparkle in her eyes as she listens to his stories, she takes his advice to heart more than the advice of anyone else, looks at him with the utmost admiration. Brendan even teases that May has a little crush on him, but they all know it's hero worship and nothing more.

In a perfect world, age wouldn't matter. But he can't wish for that, nor can he wish for her to be older or him younger. All he can do is promise to always stay by her side as her mentor.

Perhaps his feelings will fade with time. She'll find a love closer to her age, and he'll support her as he was meant to all along.
