Greg: Metaphorically?

Garnet: Literally.

Steven meets all three criteria required to fuse, and since he is half Human he can fuse with Connie, someone he trusts with his light. Good point. But are you saying Steven can fuse with full gems? That's what I'm asking.''' ''' Do Gems have a gem at the core of their being? Yes.

Do Gems have a body that can turn into light? Yup.

Would a Gem fuse if they didn't trust their partner? No. (Excluding Lapis Lazuli)

Steven can fuse with anyone with a gem that's not damaged or corrupted.
