chapter 5

Christmas came and went, with Patrick getting much need, and much bigger clothes as gifts. Meanwhile the two brothers kept eating. Patrick's eating habits rubbed off on his brother, and since Patrick spent most of his time eating, Brian did too. Brian's closest friends were away on vacation so the two had all the time to eat together. And as big as Patrick was getting, Brian was getting big too.

One day while sitting in the parking lot of McDonalds, each chowing down on bags of burgers, the button on Brian's jeans popped off. "See, that's why I wear sweatpants all the time, nothing to restrict my belly" Patrick said and gave it a big jiggle. Brian was just now realizing he might have gained weight. Eating straight junk for a week would do it, he thought.

"Don't worry about it" Patrick said. "It'll help your football career if you start getting big now." Patrick said. "Coach said whoever gains the most weight during off season will start next season. Imagine me, a sophomore, starting for my college team!" Patrick said.

"Is that why you've been eating so much?" Brian asked.

"Not entirely... It got me to stop going to the gym. You know I've always ate like a beast, now I'm just not holding back anymore!" Patrick said, and shoved another burger in his mouth. "It feels really nice to let go!" Patrick said between mouthfuls. Brian sat, ate, and thought about what his brother had said. He too loved eating, especially fatty foods, but also loved his muscles. Conflicted, Brian continued to eat away at his burgers.

Soon enough, Brian's winter break was over. Patrick, however, still had 2 weeks left. After their talk in the McDonald's parking lot, Brian only wore sweatpants, and began eating even more with his brother. Just last night the two managed to eat 3 entire cakes, made for 20 people. Getting ready for school, Brian tried to fit into his jeans. His bigger butt stopped them from going any higher than his thighs. Brian looked down and noticed he could barely see his feet, as their was a big hairy gut in the way. "Jeez, how much damage did Patrick do on me anyways?" he said. He stepped on the scale expecting 5 pounds tops. He had to rub his eyes when he saw "215" glaring back at him. 25 pounds? Brian neglected to account for the weight he gained before break had started and Patrick came home. I gotta hit the gym- he began to think, but lost track as his mom called for breakfast. He quickly threw on some sweatpants and rushed to the kitchen, knowing if he didn't get there soon Patrick could have eaten the entire meal. Seeing plates still piled high with bacon and pancakes, Brian began shoving as much as he could into his mouth before Patrick would get up and eat the entire meal.

Within 20 minutes, Brian lost track of his eating and actually ate the entire table-sized breakfast. His belly jolted out even further. He didn't leave anything for Patrick. "What's the rush Brian? Why'd you eat all of it so fast? I'm making Patrick a separate breakfast when he gets up later!" she said. Brian sat their, belly full, and in his lap. He groaned and finished getting ready for school, hoping no one would notice his massive weight gain.

And they did. Everyone gave Brian stares as his fuller figure walked the hallways, soon to be waddling. No one expected this jock to put on weight now, usually itd begin in college. His heavy footsteps, thick thighs, bubble butt, huge gut, beginning moobs and fuller face was impossible to hide. All his jock friends still were nice, though they too couldn't help to notice his weight gain. At lunch, all the jocks usually got double lunch - including either 2 burgers, 2 slices of pizza, or 2 sandwiches. But this time, all the jocks jokingly handed Brian their extras, and unable to control his newfound hunger, he ate away.

While Brian got stares at school, Patrick ate even more while Brian was at school. He didn't have someone eating half his meal, so he was able to eat an entire breakfast, as well as about 10 boxes of pizza all to himself.

He didn't finish the entire 10, not because he was hungry, but because the wooden chair he sat on broke underneath his growing girth. Patrick felt a mixture of emotions: embarassment, pride, even a little sexual arousal. Patrick shoved another slice in his mouth and grabbed his gut. "Time to see the damage I guess" Patrick said and made his way to the bathroom. He brought out the scale.

335. He had gained 52 pounds in the 5 weeks he was home. "Shit..." he muttered to himself. "I'm huge..." He said. His heavy footsteps made everything jump in the bathroom, and his widening love handles, belly, and broad shoulders brushed against the doorframe. As he examined his body, the doorbell rang, and Patrick's food delivery was here, and ran to the door.
