Charlie certainly seems determined to have a go, doesn’t he? I’ve written a little in advance but no spoilers. I’m kind of along for the ride, too — so I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.It absolutely cannot be Honey Lemon if she wants to continue having anything at all to do with Hiro. If she tries, he'll absolutely figure out what she's been up to and that will end well for precisely nobody.
Maybe CD will be a good option once they're no longer instructor and pupil?![]()
She has had sex with men before, but saw it as an experiment. This is new evidence. And she is, like her teammates, at heart a scientist."I'd rather not be thinking about my friend's penis every time I'm in the same room as him."
It's... The scent boost is so strong it would make a 6-on-the-Kinsey-scale lesbian want to take him for a spin? That's bad. That's a one-man baby boom waiting to happen, and Hiro is hardly ready for such a thing.
I was also thinking about a gold star gay friend who honestly appreciates a really good set of breasts. Given the chance, he’d absolutely enjoy exploring quality boobage, and I assumed it would be the same. Sometimes people are so hot they make your list, even if you’re not normally into their gender by default.She has had sex with men before, but saw it as an experiment. This is new evidence. And she is, like her teammates, at heart a scientist.
That said, I see Hiro’s situation as mostly within bounds of plausibility, but only barely. He’s physically attractive, handsome and fit, and his pheromones are pushing peoples biological buttons. He’s also an actual genius, and a little cocky. The boy has rizz, even without the boost. And he’s nice, and decent. Add in that little crooked smile and tooth gap, and he’d be dangerous without the upgrades.
The scent thing is meant to be less about him having some kind of raw man stink, and more about him having just the right combo of healthy smells. No locker room or foot funk here, just that nice blend of herbal shampoo, soap, and faintly masculine sweat.
Gogo is having a purely physical and biological reaction, but she is aware of it and curious about it. She ain’t converted..
Whereas I think Honey Lemon is pretty obviously turned on by the transgressive nature of what is happening, as much as by the results.
I know Gogo still bats for the other team. That's kinda my point, really. If even she's reacting that strongly to him, imagine how difficult it must be for everyone around who normally would want some of that.She has had sex with men before, but saw it as an experiment.

Dis gon get awkward. And probably X-rated.*****
“Well, that was mortifying,” Hiro said. “Baymax — oh, wait, he’s still out I guess.”
Cass was right, he had been a bit vocal lately, and he had been relying too much on the robot. Though he had learned a fair amount, too.
Honestly, his seemingly boundless libido was starting to be a little tiresome. Well, except it was just fun. It felt great, but the demands of his apparently overstimulated loins were an increasing distraction. He just had to keep it under wraps somehow, until he could see how things went with Charlie. And that meant he should probably talk to Honey Lemon again. Maybe she could help him counteract it a bit, at least. He also decided to ask for some of the soundproofing foam she had used when they faced a villain with sonic weapons. Least he could to to spare his aunt, right?
“What I really need is a nice lair of my own,” he said aloud. “Maybe I should think about getting my own place.”
He realized he’d dialed Fred almost subconsciously.
“Dude. What’s up. Emergency? Kaiju attack? Unexpected limited edition trading card game presale?”
“None of the above. It’s something personal.”
“Oh? Ooooooh. You finally noticed.”
“Huh?”
“Say no more. We shouldn’t talk about this on an open channel.”
“Open …. Fred, this is a secure channel. This whole network is encrypted five times and like, more secure than the White House phone.”
As usual, Fred was in his own little world. “As you say. Meet me at the comic book store at oh-nineteen-hundred. Civilian clothes. Ask for CardBuyer2000. You’re BroGuy99. Fredzilla out.”
*****
Hiro pulled up to the alley behind the comic shop, activated his custom security system for the scooter, and whispered loudly down the alley.
“Fred?”
“Nobody around with that name, stranger,” said Fred from someplace in the echoing alleyway.
“Fine. CardBuyer2000, this is BroGuy99.” It was usually best to just go along with Fred’s weirdness when he was like this.
“Were you followed?”
Hiro glanced behind him. “Uh, I don’t think so?”
“Very well. Follow me.”
Just to the left of the comic shops delivery entrance, Fred tapped one of the bricks and a panel popped open. It scanned his face and then the bricks separated to reveal a small room. Fred beckoned and Hiro joined him.
It was an elevator. As it descended, Fred seemed to brief his guest.
“Found out about this old base of my Dad’s last month. It’s pretty sweet.”
The doors opened to reveal a fairly large space, almost a mancave, with a large computer setup, a kitchenette, a couple of couches, and a king size bed.
Fred grabbed a soda from the fridge and offered a chilled water bottle to Hiro.
“So what’s up,” Fred said, flopping onto the sofa. “You wanted to talk in private?”
“Um, yeah. See, things have been a bit weird lately….”
“Whoa, finally! So you figured it out?”
“What? Figured what out?”
“Never mind, forget I mentioned it. And don’t say anything to anyone else.”
“Okayyyy. I wanted to know if you had a place I could crash for a while. I need a hit more peace and quiet than I get at the lab and I … kinda just need some privacy for a while.”
“Hmm. You sure there’s nothing else bugging you?”
“I don’t know…things have just been a little weird lately and I need a bit of a break. Not forever, but maybe for a month or so. Until I find my own place.”
“Is that all? Dude, you could use this place.”
“Really?”
“Sure. No big. I’ll add you to the ID scanner. Heh. I was worried you were gonna ask me about something else.”
“Like what?” Hiro asked, suddenly curious.
“Like… no, I told Honey Lemon I wouldn’t say anything.”
“About what?”
“Nuh-uh, not falling for that old trap.”
“What are you even talking about?”
“About the protocol you’re on,” Fred replied before he could stop himself.
“What about it?”
“Dude, I can’t! I promised.”
“Fred….
“Aww, man…look, it’s like watching a super hero origin story unfold! Well, I guess technically a second one. And I don’t want to be the one to blow it….”
“What the heck are you talking about? Just cuz I’m not some scrawny kid now, just because I grew up…” wait, wait…something felt weird.
“Because I got a little push? Dude, I’m barely caught up to my brother.”
“Ho, no, bro. Look at you! Man, you gotta stop being hung up on Tadashi. You’re Hiro.”
“But…”
“Dude, if I noticed it, how the heck have you missed it?”
Fred was… Fred was right.
Suddenly, it all clicked into place. The way he’d put on muscle and …size. He was bigger than he should have been, even accounting for all the work he’d put in. He’d have to double check, run the numbers himself….but he knew instantly what the answer would be.
“She …dosed me?”
“You gotta ask her. Just remember , I didn’t say anything.”
“I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on it. Or I mean I DID, I just never realized it was….” He looked himself up and down. “How much of all this was me, and how much was her?”
“Pretty sure that’s all you, man.”
“No, I mean, oh, you know what I mean. I guess I’ll have to talk to her to get the answers.”
“So, um… was that all?”
“Actually…” Hiro said, “there was something else. It’s a little awkward, a little personal…”
“Ask away, little bro! We got like zero secrets.”
“You have a reputation on campus,” Hiro said. “For being, well, good at, um…sex.”
“Hah, well, I guess.”
“I have some questions…..”
