chapter 4

(Decided to pick this story back up... please share and enjoy!)

"Time to celebrate my man!" Patrick said and brought his brother into a headlock. Again Brian was forced to feel his brother's girth as he tried to push away. Even his moobs were big, Brian thought.

It was the first day of a 2 week winter break for Brian (whereas Patrick got his headstart 3 weeks ago), and Patrick wanted to celebrate with his younger brother. The took off in his truck and drove up to an all-you-can-eat buffet the brothers often went to before Patrick went to college. They'd visit here on their monthly cheat day. Now it seemed like Patrick came here on his daily cheat day.

Brian hadn't been here since Patrick left for college, and it was nice to be doing things like they had before. "Brought a friend today Patrick?" the hostess said, who made it apparent that Patrick came here often while Brian was at school. Kinda took the specialty out of the occasion.

The two sat down in a booth, that Brian could see Patrick would have trouble fitting in soon. He must've gained 15 pounds in the 3 weeks he had been home already, oblivious to his own subtle weight gain. Patrick got up and made way to the burger station whereas Brian made his way to the pizzas. Treating it like his cheat day, Brian decided to go all out and stack his plate with 8 slices of pizza.

Brian made his way back to the booth and saw Patrick already chowing away at his burgers, 2 plates with 7 burgers in each, and two burgers in his hand. He shoved the burgers into his mouth with greed and speed, and Brian was surprised at how fast and how much Patrick could eat. By the time Brian was on his sixth slice, Patrick had finished his two plates, and came back with two plates of pizzas with 8 slices each, as if to one-up his brother. Patrick started shoving them down two at a time. The competitor in Brian was ignited and he quickly finished his plate, making way for the buffet.

Brian tried to keep up but quickly grew frustrated. When Brian brought back a plate of pasta, Patrick came back with two and finished before him. When Brian came back with a 12 oz steak, Patrick came back with two and again finished before him. This continued as Brian brought a plate of 10 hot dogs, Patrick finished 20 within the same time.

The two moved onto dessert and Brian was relieved to see Patrick was slowing down. Brian finally beat his brother in finishing 20 brownies before Patrick could finish his 40. "Maybe your eyes are a bit too big for your stomach!" Brian teased. With that, Patrick opened his mouth wide and shoved the remaining brownies in his face. The two continued in eating cookies and donuts and finally called it quits.

The adrenaline rush both brothers got hid their pain in their stomachs, and as they settled, the pain grew worse. Brian looked like he swallowed a basketball, with his shirt failing to cover his happy trail. Patrick's shirt, however, barely fit in the first place, and now left his huge hairy belly bare in the restaurant. Patrick failed to zipper up his jacket, and once they got home, Patrick knocked back 3 beers and went straight to bed, until 7 hours later when their mom called for dinner, and Patrick was ready to eat again. Surprisingly to Brian, his own hunger had came back as his pain retreated, and decided to join Patrick and his family for dinner: more burgers.
