Ian, Ben and Caden were looking up at Pat in a whole new way. A whole new way for Pat. Ian and Ben had new memories about how the giant teen had protected them from bullies in dangers in the big world and a gradual dawning of first affection and then physical attraction on their part. Caden, who remembered shrinking but suddenly didn't care too much about it, remembered something similar: he'd been really into Pat and now suddenly Pat was a lot bigger. More of Pat to love right?
Except all three 12 inch men had been growing uncomfortable realizing that their tiny companions were also into their giant friend... and each of them fooled themselves into thinking the giant didn't know about their affection.
Pat was amused when the next few minutes turned into an unsubtle competition between the small teenagers to win his attention. They were more attentive to him, stood closer and looked for any excuse to brush against him. They laughed too hard at stupid jokes he made. Tried to belittle (without being too mean) their rivals' words. He realized that he'd never felt so good about himself even if their sexual attention WAS enforced by the wish he made... and he didn't realize he was making another one until it was too late. "Damn I wish they'd never grow back!"
