He could have took her virginity, or at least got to second base right there on that beach and made her miss studytime. He was smooth as fuck and making her wet as fuck.
Instead he embraced insanity, impulsiveness over something important, the advice of lovesick aliens who’ve long forgotten and barely ever knew the mystery between seperate people and personalities, the desperate need to fill the void within him, and the search for self-worth in something exterior; and proposed as a 16-year-old. Grim.
This proposal was much more about himself and finding a solution for his own problems, that’s no way to start a life of love and partnership.
But the fact she didn’t cringe out and want a seperation after this, and started paying even more attention to his needs - helping him however she could by getting him medical attention, communicating with his family, checking in and worrying, and being the one that understood what he needed the most in the end and turning the tides towards getting him that - means she’s mega wife material and absolutely his soulmate. They are going to have so much roadtrip sex.
I remember people used to hate on Connie for wanting to use him for his magical life, but man I saw Indirect Kiss the other day, I forgot how eager and willing she was to be with him even under the prospect if him not being magical. And she never ditched Earth life to go chase magic and wonder in the cosmos. She values her earth life/going to college and wants Steven to remain a part of it
Rushing only ever comes from somewhere insecure or immature kids, don’t do it in love or in bed. Savor the slow steps of romance as you find your legs as people and partners until you’re both strong enough to build a home and life together. Build up makes everything better
