The polycule had decided to go on a walk through downtown and were joking, flirting and maneuvering around people as the sun beat down on them from overhead.

Adam looked up at Hazel and smiled so big that his breathing caught in his throat. "Hey."

He was just greeting him because he could. The smile disappeared, it was just for him in that little moment in time but it felt so big. There wasn't really a flirty tone to it, just an 'I love being near you and I love you' vibe that took Hazels breath away altogether.

Before he could respond, the worst thing that could've possibly happened in public happened: he got a definitive warning that he'd get a full on boner over that in around ten seconds. "Oh shit," He mumbled, looking around for the next door into a restaurant.

Would it be easier to hide in a bathroom? Or would it be better to sit and just– fuck it, there was nothing he could do but grab a chair and sit, hunched forward and laughing in embarrassment.

The rest kept walking for a minute, unaware of Adam tipping his head in concern. "Did you just almost faint? I'll get you some water, baby."

He almost motioned more attention over, as people were starting to look up curiously when they'd heard he might pass out. "Wait, Adam d-don't do that!" He whisper yelled. "Just give me a second!"

Now Adam looked perplexed, but then it turned into a disbelieving drop of his jaw. "Please tell me it wasn't that easy."

"It wasn't that easy."

Adam smirked. "Now this time don't lie to me." He sat down on his lap and shook his head. It made sense Hazel had panicked, he couldn't have hid this without someone assuming he was armed with a shotgun in his pants. "I didn't even say anything to you."

"That doesn't matter," Hazel whined, pulling him closer and wincing. "You can't control them, they just happen and I love you."

His husband rolled his eyes as the rest came back. "Be careful of being nice to people apparently," He warned.

Steven and Hazel exchanged a look, then he nudged Jacob who nodded. "You guys think this doesn't happen all the time?" The Brit asked slowly. "I mean... tucking only helps so much when you're packing."

Hazel groaned and pinched Adam in the side. He giggled and tried to squirm away but Hazel wouldn't let him. "Stop wiggling. Just give me a second."

Anna crossed her arms. "No fair! What if I wanted to sit on your lap?"

Adam grinned like the cat that ate the canary and replaced himself with her in a flash, only serving to make it far worse. "There you go baby," He teased as her eyes dropped in shock at the massive amount more Hazel was getting hard than a rando usually held. "All better. Say thank you to Daddy."

Hazel groaned. "You're making it worse!"

"Thank you, Daddy," Anna swooned, turning a rosy cheeked smile up for a kiss.

Even Alex was sympathetic and shoved at Jasmin and Connie for laughing. "Leave him be. It's genuinely a curse."

"Whoa, whoa," Jacob interrupted with a chuckle. "I wouldn't call it a curse. Just extremely annoying."

Adam nodded sarcastically. "Right. Free reason to get some is a bad thing."

The other boys just stayed silent, shaking their heads.

"You okay now, buddy?" Connie asked in a babying voice, cooing at his pants. "Done looking for attention?"

Hazel laughed and kicked at her. "Back away from the penis please, making statements like that is why we just disappear for 10 to 30 minutes and pray to the gods that they'll just disappear."

Connie grinned as if she knew something he didn't. "Right."

Jacob was a sucker for small, old fashioned romance. Maybe it was just his yearning to be loved and adored unconditionally in place of his parents, but he favored love above everything and he felt that after years of healing, he had been holding it all in.

He was holding hands with Jasmin, Adam was using him as a pillow on the other side, and Alex was on his lap prattling with Jasmin about some new Hermès purse they'd seen. He made a mental note to grab two and shut his eyes in content. Being surrounded by his Mains, Adam being the newest, was surreal and a little overwhelming. He had a moment of lucidity: being loved, being needed, being cherished and being fulfilled.

Alex stopped talking long enough that Jacob's eyes slid back open. "You alright, luv?"

Adam snickered with Jasmin, but Alex was looking down. "I swear to god I just lifted a full inch."

Jacob's ears turned red and he grimaced as he was made aware of the... issue. "You're sitting on my lap and wiggling around. What did you expect, a Bible verse about abstinence?"

Jasmin giggled and reached under Alex's butt to give it a sure squeeze. "Hm, as far as randos go, I'd say it's about a 7 for hardness."

Jacob sputtered, "U-uh, I'm sorry, what are we–?"

Adam reached next and cocked his head as his fingers squeezed. "That checks out. It's getting harder though. This is definitely an 8 now."

Alex grinned. "I dunno, if you're sitting on top of it, it feels harder. That sounds crazy. Am I crazy?"

Jasmin shrugged, catching Jacob's eye but refusing to keep it. Sometimes she just liked to stir the pot. "Probably. I've got all this ass so I only catch it sitting in certain positions."

They finally gave attention back to Jacob, whose entire face was red now. "You're making it worse and you know you're making it worse," He whispered in horror. "Now he's excited and I have to think of horrible things to get him to shut up."

They laughed and continued making fun of him, even going as far as to ask Connie for a score. She dusted off her hands and manhandled it, dragging an involuntary groan that turned into a yelp. "Hm... That's full mast. A big old penis in its prime." She patted it and dropped a kiss to Jacob's burning hot face. "You're so sexy, Jacob."

He didn't think so but he must be if all his partners suddenly wanted to take "further measures" just to make sure.

Steven smirked at him. "Because for science."

"Because for science." Hazel high-fived him and they both surged for him.

Connie kissed Steven and told him she loved him. That was it.

Steven got hard almost instantly.

She kissed his nose and cheeks, then frowned and dropped to crotch level to poke at his cock steadily growing harder. "And what's this?"

Steven stood at attention like a Quartz, embarrassed but never deterred, and mumbled, "He would also like to be told he's loved."

Delighted, she rubbed over it and cooed how much she loved when he was inside her, and furthermore that she dreamed of it, which of course made it twitch with excitement. "Aw, he's so excited!"

Steven leaned against their counter and sighed, using all of his strength to keep his hips from bucking into her touch. "Do you have to antagonize him?"

"Oh, yeah, definitely." Connie looked up at him and placed a kiss over it. "Did you ever get random boners at Nova?"

Steven winced as her nails lightly scratched against it and caused a brand new pleasant sensation. "Fuck, Connie. I mean, around you I think it was constant. I was still dealing with sexual trauma; but yes. I always wanted to be balls deep but like... romantically."

She raised her eyebrows. "Romantically?" She parroted.

"Yeah like..." He narrowed his eyes, trying to focus on anything but her hands stroking him. "I wanna break your back, but like, I also wanna kiss you and buy you flowers afterwards. I wanna make you scream and then sing you songs while I brush your hair. I want to leave you sore and fuck you stupid but father your children and take care of you forever."

A thrilled smile spread across her face. "Has anyone ever told you you're a Trophy Husband?"

He rolled his eyes and patted her head. "I prefer Trophy Wife, but yes."

Her lips pressed against it again and she hummed lowly, a pleasant vibration tingling through him. "I'm hungry, Trophy Wife."

"I-I was making you food before you started playing with my dick," He reminded her. "If you starve that's all on you."

"For dick," She clarified deadpanly. "I'd like dick for Lunch, please."

Steven didn't know why he was surprised but he was. "Cool." He scooped her up to straddle him and grabbed her ass. "You think when we become immortal our sex drive will die out?"

Connie laughed heartily and kissed the very life out of him. "I'm sure we'll get worse."
