Strange behavior...
Narrator's POV
It had been over a month since Connie's betrayal of Steven and the hybrid was still somewhat shook over it.
He wouldn't leave the house. It was of great concern to the Gems.
However, today would be different: He was going to see a relative in Ocean Town, his Uncle Andy.
What was even better was that his two longtime friends, Eddie Pierce and Colby Covington, would be there as well.
When Steven's Dad mentioned it, he jumped at the chance. It was the perfect chance to get away from Beach City as well as recent events.
But also because of how strange the Gems have been acting since Connie cheated on Steven.
Garnet seemed to be more silent(and slightly nervous) than usual. When Steven would look at her, she seemed to blush or quickly look away, yet when he wasn't looking at her, she seemed to get frustrated.
Pearl was more nervous than usual as well. She seemed to be very quiet around Steven now. Whenever he would say good morning, she'd giggle slightly and look away immediately afterwards.
Amethyst seemed to be flirting or trying to seem more enticing in a way to Steven, as she seemed more prone to bending over when he was around.
Peridot seemed to take notes whenever Steven was around, but refused to show him what they were exactly...
And the strangest thing is that it isn't only the Gems acting this way.
Sadie was back in town after touring with her band and when Steven went to greet her, she blushed and giggled like a school girl with a crush.
As is the norm, Steven was oblivious to it. But the ladies of Beach City certainly weren't. Steven had grown quite handsome over the years, his hair longer now to wear he ties it up in a ponytail/bun and he has grown much taller and muscular and has been working out on both his physical strength and Gem powers as well.
But even more that all that, he still remains the kind soul he always has been. Puberty may have hit him like a truck on steriods, but despite him being a dreamboat to pretty much every girl(or Gem) in Beach City, he is still the same kindhearted Steven Universe everyone knew him as.
It was time for him to head to Ocean Town. Greg pulled up in the van.
"Let's go, Schtoo Ball. Andy, Eddie and Colby are waiting for us!" Greg called out.
"Be there in a minute, Dad!" Steven replied.
He looked at the Gems.
"I'll see you guys in a few hours. Love you."
"Love you too, Steven." All the Gems seemed to say at the same time.
Steven, still oblivous to what was going on, just smiled and left.
After he left, Pearl and Amethyst headed to their rooms, blushing furiously.
Meanwhile, Garnet unfused into a frantic Ruby and Sapphire.
"What do we do, Sapphy?!?" Ruby said in a panic.
"I...don't know. I..don't know what to do or how to feel about this." The blue Gem responded.
"How can you know?!? Your future vision is acting up because we both want Steven to fuck us! That's why we're so nervous!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Ruby! What if Steven were here now? It would be awkward for him too. It's already awkward enough for him to see all of us like this." Sapphire replied.
"What do we do then?!?" Ruby exclaimed.
"We wait for Steven to get back. He's not stupid by any means. He can tell if something is bothering us because of his Empathetic Telepathy and I'm sure he's going to confront us about this." Sapphire replied.
"And when he does?" Ruby asked impatiently.
Sapphire paused for a moment until she finally said....
"We tell him the truth"
