What Are Friends For..?

Chapter 1

I look down at my phone during work and see a text from Vee.

“Movie night tonight? I got snacks!”

A little spark lights up inside of me, but I feel weird acknowledging it. She doesn’t know about my secret. Sure I eat a lot in front of her, but never too much, as much as I can help it. But there’s no way that she realizes how flustered I get when my own softness starts to dig into my waistband. Ever since we became friends we have had a lot of fun together and not only that, we eat a lot together. She always seems to be finding new restaurants or snacks or takes me out for coffee (if you could call it coffee with the amount of cream and sugar and caramel swirls we get).

And to make matters worse, I’ve noticed the slight pudge building around her middle too. Her hips and thighs spread further on the couch or in the booth at McDonalds. My secret is getting harder to keep and how can she keep pushing it? Not once has she mentioned putting on the weight, although I fear it’s only a matter of time before the issue needs to be addressed.

Yet here I am at work, with a text from her inviting me over to watch a movie tonight. I’m not stupid, I know this will turn into an all night snack-fest filled with laughter and warmth. I’ll get so distracted by her that I’ll hardly notice how much I’m eating. Eventually I’ll notice how her shirt is riding up and then I’ll be able to feel my own and it’s going to drive me insane. Then what? But I can’t help it. I just can’t resist.

“Sure! Can’t wait! I’ll bring extra goodies!”

What am I doing? ‘Extra goodies?’ Guess I’ll go pick up some ice cream on the way over. Another 2,000 calories to add fuel to the fire. I simply can’t believe that she hasn’t questioned how fat we’re both getting.

I look up at my computer screen and click through a few emails. I’m completely uninterested in work right now. All I want to do is hang out with Vee and watch her polish off an entire pizza while I join in. It’s amazing how much she can eat. It’s like she’s trying to out eat me, and I can eat a lot!

I grab a snack from one of the vending machines and head out for the day while I chew on the Snickers. The walk to my car is freezing and snow crunches under my feet as I walk. My large coat hides the slight bulge of my waist over my work pants. It’s only been three weeks of hanging out with Vee and already she’s managed to put ten pounds on my frame. Not that I’ve been resisting too much, but I have been consciously trying to hold back. I mean, it’s not like I WANT to get fat, right? I’ve always wanted to be muscular and slim and for the most part I am. I work out regularly and try to eat well during the week. With Vee it’s so different though. She taps into the part of my brain I’ve been trying to hide. She’s wormed her way inside and I can’t get rid of the thoughts. Even now as I demolish this candy bar I can feel her smiling and offering me another.

Once I’m seated in my car and start up the engine I can feel my seatbelt pushing into my soft tummy. God, I’ve got to get this under control. When I started my transition I said I wanted abs and now look at me. Softer than ever before. Heavier than ever before. Somehow, despite everything even my ass has gotten fatter. I should get into cardio.

I turn on my music and drive to the gas station just a short distance from Vee’s house. As much as my own flab is disappointing me, I can’t help but want to see her get massive. The idea of fattening her without her awareness is too tantalizing. Besides it’s not like I’m doing anything wrong, I’m just offering the means for her to get fat. And at every chance she takes it. Now if only I could stop myself from indulging alongside her.

I purchase three pints of Ben and Jerry’s, the flavors with the most calories, obviously. If we’re going to get fat might as well go all in and enjoy it. A couple 2 liter sodas and some chips and candy and a pack of Oreos to round it all out. This is enough to feed a whole party of folks let alone two young adults who could stand to use a few anyways. Now off to Vee’s to confront her with the spoils for tonight’s festivities.
