"That's different" I thought as I watched them.

Steven usually was the one who explain Earth stuff to me, but I had no idea who to ask when the Earth stuff involved Steven.

Steven was really different from other gems or humans that I've met, but this wasn't him being kind to those gem monster, or crying cause some type of creature had a unfair disadvantage. This seemed more personal.

His head laid in Connie's lap and his fingers twirl the locks of hair that hung down. Connie sat letting him do this while she read. A small smile on her face and her free hand would disappear in his own hair, only to come out when she needed to turn the page.

This was different than any human interaction I've seen. It looked tender and as Steven would have called it sweet. I'm missing something here.

I heard Pearl yell for Steven to come outside and watched as he softly groaned in displeasure as he got up never really taken his eyes off the full human.

Steven had introduced me to his human friends and none had acted like this. The closest I could related this to was the donut human's way of looking at the smaller donut human when she thinks he's not looking.

Steven was a lot more obvious than that though, it was almost as if he didn't care if she noticed or others saw him. Well to be honest if Connie noticed his cheeks would darken and he turn his head. But I don't think Connie minded since she to would have increase blood flow to her face and smile brightly.

Maybe this was just normal for some humans but I wanted to know more so maybe I should look farther into it.
