Hyperchubs

The next morning, the two of you were out like a light. Mandarin was laying on his side while you were entangled up with him. Hearing the door knock caused you to sit up. You yawned and quietly crawled out of bed, leaving Mandarin to sleep. You opened the front door to surprisingly see Otto. "Oh um hey." You greeted, your sleepy brain unable to fully comprehend what's going on. Otto gave a small wave and smiled. "Mornin'. I hope I didn't wake you guys up, I just wanted to visit." He said. You chuckled and shook your head. "Nah I needed to wake up anyway. You wanna come in?" You offered, receiving a nod. Otto sat down on the couch and awkwardly kicked his legs back and forth. "You want anything?" You asked from the kitchen. Otto shook his head. "Nah I just had breakfast but thanks!" He said before looking around. "So uh where's Mandarin?" He asked. "Still asleep, I'm sure he had one of his midnight snacks because now I can't find those chocolate chip mini muffins." You huffed, searching through the pantry. Otto laughed at the image. "Wow he's turned into me! I thought I ate a lot!" You poked your head out and shook your head with a grin. "Oh no you haven't spent a day with him! This guy eats like we need air. His main job is being a taste tester and eating any leftovers we have at work." Otto's eyes widened. "Wow that sounds like the best job ever, does he get paid?" You nodded and sat down in a recliner chair adjacent from the couch with a bowl of fruit and some coffee. "Yep not only in money but food too. Which doesn't help his waistline buuuuuut..." Otto held a hand over his mouth to silence his giggles. "Seems to me he doesn't mind being so huge. Which is really surprising considering it's Mandarin of all people." He said. You sipped your coffee and looked towards the bedroom. "Yeah he wasn't so keen on his weight gain at first but he's really grown more confident and happy about his size." You said, smiling at how much happier Mandarin is. Otto smiled a bit. "That's great. Did he tell you he banned junk food from the robot? Kinda funny now watching him eat chips and candy." You laughed and nodded. "I know! But he's never tried that stuff before so can you blame him for going all out eating pizza and hamburgers nearly everyday? It's like he found heaven when he tried cookies for the first time." You giggled, remembering how the two of you first met. Otto suddenly stood up and pointed towards the bedroom. "Tell him to try sloppy joes and onion rings  and tater tots and cheese sticks! Those are so good!" You thought on it, tilting your head. "He hasn't tried sloppy joes or onion rings. He said he hates onions so onion rings are a big no." Otto sat back down and the two of you continued to talk, getting to know each other. Otto reminded you of a big puppy with how friendly he was, but you could tell he was more than just a goofball. Mandarin proved that to you in the stories he would tell you about him. After awhile you two were in the middle of talking about iguanas when you heard some grunting coming from the bedroom. You stopped talking and looked in the direction of the bedroom. "Babe?" "Y/N I need help." You looked back at Otto. "Hang on I'll be right back." Otto looked towards the room in concern. "Is he okay?" He asked. "Oh yeah he's been having trouble getting out of bed recently." You said before heading into your room. Mandarin was already sitting up but clearly looked wiped out from doing so. You got in front of him and grabbed his hands. "Okay big guy let's get you up." You struggled to pull him up but eventually you got Mandarin to his feet. Mandarin panted and leaned against you. "Thank you....cursed fatness making it hard to get up."  He huffed. You kissed his head and patted his shoulder. "No problem honey. Oh by the way Otto's here." Mandarin whipped his head up, surprised. "He is? Pretty early for him to show up." He commented. You smirked. "I think he just wanted to see his now reformed buddy. Now go sit down with him and I'll make you breakfast." You said before pushing the super sized simian out of the room. Mandarin looked at you worriedly. "Wait Y/N-!" He began. "Talk to him, he clearly missed you." You whispered before leading him out to the living room. Otto peeked his head up at seeing Mandarin enter the room. Awkwardly he waved. "Morning." He greeted. Mandarin eyed the floor and gulped. "Erm good morning." He said softly. You went into the kitchen to prepare for Mandarin's meal. While you did so, you kept an ear out on the conversation. They didn't say anything at first, both sides unsure what to say until Otto spoke. "Erm so...have you tried an hamburger with bacon before?" Otto asked. "A few times here and there. I prefer bacon pieces on things than the actual size of bacon but-" "What! But bacon is so good!" Otto gasped. "It is, don't get me wrong! I just like having it as a topping." Mandarin defended. You smiled as you made Mandarin countless waffles and chocolate chip pancakes. You placed icing on the pancakes and added countless amounts of syrup. "You should eat at Gackslappers if you ever decide to visit, their hoverburgers are so good!" Otto wheezed. You heard Mandarin chuckle awkwardly and felt some relief. At least he's starting to enjoy himself. "Maybe, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." He said. You fried some sliced up potatoes and placed some cheese on them and bacon pieces. You knew Mandarin's mouth was drooling at the scent. "Jeeez this smells like such a paradise! I get why you got so big while you were here." Otto breathed. "I know. I can feel my thighs getting bigger just hearing the frying pan." Mandarin sighed dreamily. "I'll make them bigger alright." You muttered as you dusted the pancakes with the bulk powder. You then inserted more powder into the food, your fantasies of Mandarin expanding the more he ate clouding your mind. "He's what?!" You nearly burned yourself before turning off the stove. You looked outside as Mandarin's eyes were widened. Otto awkwardly chuckled. "Yeah Skeleton king is gone and your clone...is on our side too. Yaaaay." Mandarin glared and growled slightly. "That little replacement better not be on that robot if he wants to live!" He hissed. Otto shook his head quickly. "No no he's on Shuggazoom! He said something about family vacations making him feel like he's in a crappy movie but we just let him stay behind." Otto explained. Mandarin relaxed and sighed. "Good, cause I would fight him. I don't care how fat I am I WILL hit him." You laid a hand on his shoulder, causing him to snap out of his rage. You smirked. "Breakfast is ready." You said before dragging in a table for him to eat from. Mandarin began to devour everything before him, groaning at how delicious everything was. Otto's mouth dropped in shock as he saw him eat so much. You sat next to Mandarin and wrapped your arms around him. "At least Skeleton King is gone, that way I don't have to worry about him trying to execute me or something." Mandarin grumbled in between bites. Otto nodded before looking down, his smile dropping. "Erm so...about everything before..." Mandarin quickly looked up. Otto rubbed his arm. "I know you weren't fully in control back then and all with the corruption and stuff, but don't be surprised if the others take a while to warm up to ya again. Just-just saying!" Otto said, holding up his hands in defense. Mandarin closed his eyes and sighed. "I understand that...but..." Was he going to start talking about what happened? Mandarin pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. "I may have a hard time warming up to them in return...after..." Otto blinked before his eyes widened, realizing what he meant. "Mandarin come on, you know we tried to help you!" Mandarin flinched and frowned. "Tried? You call that one shot of power primate trying?!" Mandarin hissed before you gently squeezed his shoulder. "Mandy remember what I said, calm talks." You said softly. Mandarin sighed. "I'm just saying if you tried one more time, you could have driven the corruption away. It weakened a bit and one more hit should have done the job. Yet you didn't, instead you imprisoned me." Otto looked down guiltily. "We didn't know that Mandy. We thought it was too late for you." He said softly. Mandarin looked down, frowning. "You still could have tried again, or at least tried other methods that didn't do squat." "Mandarin you were about to take over the city, we had to think fast!" You, as a third party, saw both sides were fair. Mandarin felt like he was given up upon and the corruption would have been gone. On the other hand, the team did try their best to help Mandarin. Even if it didn't work. "You really care about him don't you?" You asked. Otto paused but then nodded. "Yeah we all do, why do you think we tried everything to help? We really cared about him, so imprisoning him hurt a lot." Mandarin flinched and looked away. "If you feel like you were given up on or abandoned...I'm sorry." Otto said. That caused Mandarin to look at him, surprised. Otto got up and rushed over to Mandarin and hugged him. You quickly moved out of the way and let Otto hug him. Mandarin froze up. "I wish we could have helped you more...I had a feeling we may need to try again but you were about to attack us so..but we didn't mean to make you feel like we didn't try hard enough or that we didn't care..we do. I still do at least." Otto hugged him tighter, his eyes closed. "Antauri did say it wasn't too late for you before when you...you know." Otto joked before laughing a bit. Mandarin didn't speak, he just sat there frozen. Otto pulled back and smiled sadly. "Guess he was right. You're back...the real you I mean." He said happily. Mandarin looked off to the side again and scoffed. "I knew talking to you about this would involve less yelling and fighting..." He muttered before clearing his throat. "Well then I guess I forgive you. You're really hard to stay mad at." Otto smiled and nodded. "Yep! Remember the time I accidentally knocked the Torso tank into the ocean? You were so mad at first!" Mandarin huffed and you laughed. "You're lucky I'm so forgiving towards you!" "I knoooow, who can stay mad at this face?" Otto then made a puppy dog face, making you laugh more. Otto then tilted his head. "What about the others?" He asked. Mandarin paused. "I guess them too...I may take a bit to warm up to them." "Oh I know." You nuzzled Mandarin's head. "Your breakfast is getting cold babe." You reminded him, which prompted him to eat. Otto giggled and hung out with you two for a little while longer. ------------ The Hyperforce did visit a few times here and there, and they did slowly but surely warm up to Mandarin overtime. It wasn't a lot on either side but it was still a slow process. They did have to leave a little early once Mandarin's clone said that random villains were starting to pop up, but they did say that they would visit every now and then. Mandarin said the same thing. Otto also worked on the house with you a bit so when Mandarin's mobility would become very limited the fatter he would become. Which was starting to become a reality. Mandarin waddled into the back deck while you put up the table umbrella. Mandarin sat down on a fortified chair and panted. "Otto should have placed in moving hallways, it's like I've walked four miles!" Mandarin panted, wiping the sweat off his forehead. You smirked and kissed his head. "That's because you're getting very fat babe. I mean look at that gut, it's starting to cover your legs." You said before poking his tummy, making it jiggle quite a bit. Mandarin chuckled and placed a hand over where you poked him. "I realized, I still can't believe how large I have become. I know it's been months ever since all of this has started but still every now and then..." You leaned over and kissed him. "I know, I get stunned too. Especially by your lovely plump butt." You teased. Mandarin scoffed and blushed heavily, making you laugh. You curled up on him and sighed, enjoying the breeze. Mandarin wrapped his thick arms around you and held you close. His arms were so wide now, it was like being covered in a blanket. You were starting to comfortably sit on Mandarin's belly, since it was getting wide and large enough to hold you. You rubbed Mandarin's belly and kissed him every now and then. This was nice....until the chair broke under you two. Looks like you need bigger and stronger chairs again. ----- Another feeding session occurred not too long later in the day, with you sitting on top of Mandarin's belly and feeding him as he laid down. "More babe?" You asked, waving a hamburger in the air. Mandarin quickly nodded. "Y-yes please! I'm starving Y/N!" He begged. You smirked and kept feeding him, making him fatter and fatter. "I swear Mandarin I'll make you gigantic, I will make you the fattest person in the world. Then I will be by your side, being at your beck and call for whatever you want. In return you'll keep getting fatter and fatter until you outgrow the entire house." You breathed as you kept feeding him. Mandarin moaned as you shoved the burger into his mouth. "Please make me fatter, I want to be enormous. I need to be enormous! I want to be so fat that you'll have to transport me around with a cargo truck." Mandarin begged as you kept feeding him. You let out a playful growl as you stuffed his face, loving the image. Mandarin's whole body jiggled under you, making sitting little bit unstable but it was worth the risk. Soon after the meal, and a make out session, you helped Mandarin up to work. Later after work, Mandarin wheezed as he waddled to the car. Telin peered out. "Um Y/N can you come here for a sec?" You looked towards Mandarin and kissed him. "Be right back." You said before going over to your boss. "Yeah?" Telin looked over at Mandarin. "Um since your boyfriend is getting so big, maybe you can start delivering leftovers to him?" He offered, getting right to the point. Your eyes widened as you looked at Mandarin, who looked winded as hell. "That does sound like a good idea...will he still get paid the same?" Telin nodded. "Oh yeah nothing in his pay will change. I just wanna make things a lil easier on him you know?" You smiled and playfully pushed him. "Awww Telin! You're so sweet!" Telin chuckled and rubbed his arm. "Yeah well it's nothing I guess. See ya tomorrow!" You waved at him before going to Mandarin and helped him into the car. Mandarin's hips brushed up against the door frame as he laid in bed, making it sink immensely. You hopped into what little room you have left on the bed and kissed him gently. "Looks like you're gonna be just sitting here and eating all day every day." You teased as you rubbed his belly. Mandarin chuckled and stretched. "Possibly, we'll have to ask Otto to help around the house again for when I can no longer get up and walk. I'll become immobile after a few more hundred pounds." He said before looking down at his body. It has inflated so much over the past few months. His thighs and legs were now permanently squashed up against each other and his hindquarters were massive beyond belief. His arms were nearly the size of the biceps he had when he was the supreme destructor, but jiggled a lot more than twitched. Mandarin's cheeks looked like someone stuffed two softballs in his mouth and his chins were taking up most of his shirt head. Of course his belly was covering his legs and became like an huge exercise ball of pure fat. Mandarin was past the point of no return and was insanely gargantuan. And he loved it. You spoiled him so much that he loved being fat and wanted to become even fatter and heavier. He wanted more of himself spread out and bloated and eat for hours on end. Of course with your help he was going to be one of the fattest beings on your planet, with a new larger house to hold all of his girth. You kissed Mandarin deeply and rubbed his belly. This was such heaven and you loved how things turned out. To think you were so scared of peering into your ex neighbor's shed. You had no idea of the future you would end up having. -------- Skelemandarin tapped his fingers on the table. "This is so dumb!" He whined. "Settle." Nova huffed. "He's just going to sit on me! You know he will!" Skelemandarin barked but Antauri placed a hand on his shoulder. "Mandarin 2 he won't. Y/N won't let him." Sprx snickered. "Yeah Y/N's got Mandarin wrapped around their finger." He said. You peeked in and smiled. "Hey we made it! It took him a bit to get in but we made it." You said before hearing Mandarin wheeze. "Stop it'll be fine." You said. "That little brat is going to laugh!" "No he won't Antauri will keep him under control." You said. Skelemandarin felt the ground shake slightly and grew concerned. How fat did his original self become again? Otto said he was so huge now but he didn't specify how. You eyed the doorway and nodded. "Yep it's wide enough." You muttered. "Good I do not want a repeat of Tuesday!" Mandarin laughed before he fully came into view. Skelemandarin's stomach dropped. Mandarin was enormous! His belly was so large and fat now it had to be held up by one of those rolling floor things with a stick for Mandarin to maneuver. His hips and thighs lightly brushed up against the doorframe, which was wide as stadium doors, and his backside was like a shelf. His arms were so fat and meaty, that they looked impossible to lift but Mandarin built up a lot of strength over the past year or so. Mandarin's face was puffed up so much that Skelemandarin wondered how he could see over his fat cheeks. He wobbled in and sat down on a sofa sized chair, which seemed to squish into his sides. He sighed heavily as you wiped his sweat covered forehead. "Well that was my workout for the next century." He said as you sat on his lap and nuzzled him. Skelemandarin twitched before falling to the ground, unable to comprehend what he just witnessed.

Mandarin held onto you a bit more, his anxiety decreasing slowly. "Damn he's fat..." Sprx breathed. You held a hand over your mouth, silencing your giggles as Mandarin slowly raised a fist into the air. "Another person has pointed out the obvious." He said in accomplishment. ---------- You and Mandarin let the Hyperforce over to your house to explain everything. All the while, Mandarin snacked on some candy and chips. The Hyperforce was in shock at not only Mandarin's appearance, but his new eating habits as well. "Didn't you like just eat a while ago?" Nova asked. Mandarin raised an eyebrow. "Do you think THAT is going to stop me?" He said before continuing to eat. Chiro looked over at you in confusion. "So let me try to get this right, Mandarin was replaced by a clone, ended up on your planet after months of traveling, you found him in a shed and let him into your house...and has been living with you ever since?" He asked. You nodded. "Yep pretty much." You said. Sprx eyed Mandarin. "And you're dating him?" He asked you, slightly disturbed. You proudly nodded and clung to him. "Yep. He's a cute grumpy butthead and I love him." You said as Mandarin grumbled. "I'm not cute." He huffed. "You are shush! Anyway Mandarin also said that his corruption was forced out of him a while after the whole replacement thing so..." Antauri nodded slightly. "I didn't sense it at first but I can see that whatever corrupted him is long gone. I apologize for being so rash at first." He said. "Yeah same here." Otto chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. The others apologized as well but you told them it was fine. Mandarin was getting quiet and you knew it had something to do with his...'issues'. Gibson eyed Mandarin with a mix of concern and nervousness. "You have also...I guess ate quite a bit since you got here haven't you?" He asked. Mandarin nodded and motioned to you. "I blame Y/N by default." He snorted. "Oh come on don't have me take all the credit! You did turn into quite the glutton." You scoffed. The others looked at each other, not really sure what to think of all this. You really hope they don't say something insensitive, but it seems that they dropped the weight topic for now. You looked between the two parties. "So um what do we do now? I mean you guys know he isn't evil anymore and stuff so..." Antauri looked to Mandarin for quite a while. You saw so much emotion in the silver monkey's eyes and you could tell he missed his friend very much. You could see it in Otto's face as well, but he looked more happy than anything. The others? You couldn't really tell what they were feeling. Mandarin's face though held a lot of emotional turmoil "We are staying for another week or so, Jinmay is back at the robot because she wasn't feeling that well...maybe we can visit once or twice  before we leave?" Antauri asked. "Antauri I dunno..." Nova muttered. "Come on Nova, he's on our side again. He can at least be our friend again." Otto said. Nova closed her eyes and sighed. "I just...I just need time Otto..." Sprx placed a hand on her shoulder and you felt Mandarin tense up. Gosh what happened when Mandarin was evil? Gibson crossed his arms and pursed his lips, thinking. "If Antauri says it's a good idea then I trust him." He said. Sprx looked at Nova before looking at the two of you. "I'm kinda with Nova on this but um you seem  cool...despite being his...what was that term that people use when one person fattens up their lover?" Sprx asked, trying to think of the answer. "Feeder?" You suggested. Sprx snapped his fingers. "Thaaat's it!" Mandarin frowned and slowly ate a chip. Chiro bit his lip and tapped his fingers on his knees. "I don't really see any issue with this...but you better behave." He said, glaring at Mandarin. You frowned and held onto him. "Hey don't worry, I'll keep him in line." "I don't need to be kept in line." Mandarin grumbled and you just poked his cheek. "Hey." Otto wiggled in his seat. "So uh can I have a carrot from the backyard?" He asked. You snickered. "We got carrots in the fridge. But don't eat anything else for now until I make something up for you guys. The majority of that stuff is for him." You said, patting Mandarin's head. Otto smiled and nodded, getting up. After a while the team left and you and Mandarin were left alone. Antauri said that they'll message you when they come over, so that way they don't walk in on your feeding sessions. However you noticed Mandarin's mood was now slightly off. He laid on his side in bed, staring at the wall. You laid next to him and curl up with him. "Hey you ok? You looked very...troubled." You said. Mandarin turned over and cuddled with you, but didn't say anything. You stroked his head. "Does it have to do with those 'issues'?" You asked. Mandarin didn't say anything at first, but slowly nodded. "You wanna talk about it?" Mandarin still didn't say anything. "Babe you know you can talk to me about this. You shouldn't feel like you have to hide whatever's making you upset." You said softly. Mandarin was silent for a little while. "It's...difficult....but it has to deal with what happened before I was imprisoned." You pulled back a bit, just so you can look at Mandarin properly. He let out a sigh before continuing. "While my corruption was getting worse...the others tried to get rid of it. But their methods were just so-so weak! Meditation, anger management, constant talking and talking, and so many other methods I thought were stupid and didn't help!" He ranted, his voice wracked with hurt. Your heart ached hearing this. You knew the Hyperforce wanted to help him but it sounded like Mandarin felt it was worthless. "Then they tried to force the corruption out of me by using the power primate. It didn't work but I did feel it start to weaken for a moment. If I wasn't so corrupted at the time I would have told them, but did they try again? Did they?" Mandarin gripped the back of your shirt slightly. "No! They just gave up and locked me away! How stupid is that?! If it didn't work the first time, you should at least try again! Not give up on your leader that despite what happened before, you might have gotten along with!" Mandarin ranted before stopping himself. You hugged him tightly and nuzzled his shoulder. "Mandarin breathe...it's okay..." "No it isn't! Then they have the nerve to replace me with a child! A child! I understand he was the chosen one but-ergh this is so stupid why am I so upset at this?!" Mandarin yelled and you hugged him tighter. You closed your eyes and rubbed his back. "Mandarin seriously breathe and calm down. It's okay...not what happened in your past, that sucks. But it's okay to be hurt and upset." You said soothingly. Mandarin didn't say anything but his muscles were still tensed up. You kept rubbing his back, trying to calm him down. You kept thinking of what to say next, knowing this was a heavy complicated issue. "Look I would talk to them calmly about this because this is something you guys need to discuss so that you can move on. I'm not saying to forgive or not forgive, that's up to you. But you gotta say something, this is eating you up and I hate seeing you like this." You said, looking at the wall. Mandarin's muscles started to relax finally and he let out a small breath. "I might...I'm not sure when yet. This is just very hard for me..." You nodded and pulled back, stroking his chubby cheek. "I know...I do think they were trying their best to help you...but I understand why you feel like you've been given up on. No one should feel like that." You said softly. Mandarin closed his eyes and bit his lip. "I..." You kissed him gently and Mandarin deepened the kiss, holding you close. You both let go before you nuzzled him. "I love you." You said softly. "I love you too."

You left the store one morning and sighed happily. Man was this a good day! You got the ingredients you needed and was gonna make a great meal tonight! You loved making recipes of foods you never tried before and wanted to see if you could maybe propose this one to the restaurant you helped out at. Since the restaurant, named The Golden Goose, had so many chefs and staff members that it made your schedule easy and flexible to work with. That and the pay was good too so you really lucked out. You were close to your house when you heard something in one of the old sheds that your ex neighbor left behind. You stopped walking and listened. It sounded like rustling and things being moved, which was odd since no one has been here in quite a while. Before you knew it, you were walking slowly towards the shed. You peeked up your ear and listened. You heard grumbles and sighs and chills went up your spine. Who was in there right now? You backed up and searched for your taser, just in case this guy was dangerous. You groaned and kept looking, you just put it in this morning! However while you were searching, you didn't hear the door to the shed open and someone was staring at you. You noticed the stranger and yelped, holding out a huge thing of celery. Your surprise was heightened when you saw an orange monkey with long eyebrows and beard staring-no-glaring at you. You shook slightly, frightened of this random person. He looked from you to your bag of food then back to you. "What do you want?" He asked. You gulped as you kept shaking. "I was- I mean I heard-who..." you stopped and took a breath. "I heard something and I checked it out um...who are you and why are you in this shed?" You asked, trying to sound brave. The orange monkey eyed your food bag again and glared at you. "That is none of your concern, now please leave me be." The orange monkey growled before going back inside. You then went inside the shed. "Not until you give me some answers! No one has used this thing in months so why are you in here?" You demanded, still holding out the celery. The orange monkey glared back at you and turned. "Again none of your concern! Now leave me be before I make you leave!" He snapped. You were about to say something before you heard a loud growl, only it didn't come from the orange monkey's throat. Suddenly the fierce glare he had melted away and he looked away in embarrassment. You blinked before looking into your bag. You did buy some cookies earlier today so maybe.... You pulled out one of the cookies and held it out to him. "Hey if you give me some answers on who you are and why you're here, I'll give you this." You offered, shaking the cookie. The orange monkey looked back with hopeful eyes at first but then paused. "A-as if I would eat something so fattening!" He huffed before turning away. You smirked. "Come on have you ever even tried it? It's really yummy." You cooed, still waving the cookie. The orange monkey flinched and looked back. "Erm..." "I mean of course if you're not too hungry I can understand-" "Give it to me!" The cookie was snatched out of your hand and the orange monkey looked at the cookie for a moment. Then he took a bite and his eyes lit up. He then devoured the whole cookie in what seemed to be one bite. Your eyes widened as he finished. "Wow you really have never tried a cookie did you?" You muttered. The orange monkey licked his fingers, hoping to find crumbs. You got out another cookie and waved it. "I got more~!" You sung. The orange monkey hungrily stared at the cookie. -------------- Okay so his name was Mandarin, he was an ex leader of a group of robot monkeys called the Hyperforce then turned evil and joined up with this evil guy called Skeleton king. Who then dumped him for a clone version of him, used his evil corruption for...something....and now Mandarin ended up here. Oh and the reason he was in that shed was because he was looking for food. You found out about all of this after you lead him into your house, which you kept internally scolding yourself for bringing a random stranger into your house, and gave him the entire packet of cookies. Mandarin kept eating the cookies while you sat across from him. "Jeez you're hungry!" You breathed. Mandarin looked up. "Well of course, I had to search in a shed for food after all." He chortled before he kept eating. You couldn't help but giggle at that. Suddenly more questions started to pop into your head. "So uh do you live anywhere?" You asked. Mandarin shook his head, still eating. Okay that wasn't good. "Oh um...are you getting a place anywhere?" You asked. Mandarin laughed. "With what job and with what money? I was considering that empty house next door but it was far too cold for me." He said. You nodded before you began to think. You almost didn't want to ask considering you barely knew him but at the same time you didn't want him to be out there alone with no food. People starving just pained you. That and you needed a taste tester...so maybe.... "Well um I don't have a problem with you bumming on my couch. Just don't cause any trouble." You said, looking off to the side. Mandarin looked up at you and was about to object but paused. "Erm will you have more cookies?" He asked. You looked back at him. "Yeah but I got other goodies too. Have you seriously never tried a cookie before?" You asked. Mandarin shook his head and huffed. "Of course not, I was a warrior! A warrior cannot indulge in such junk when there's battles to be fought." He said before popping another cookie into his mouth. You smirked at the irony. Mandarin then looked down at the cookies. "However I was wrong to be so picky. These are amazing!" He groaned before continuing to eat. You giggled and motioned towards the fridge and pantry. "Well I got more food for you to try, just let me know what you want and I'll get it." You said before getting up and putting groceries away. Mandarin stopped chewing and looked at the fridge hungrily. --------- So now Mandarin was your housemate and taste tester. After a few weeks of being antisocial and keeping to himself he started to slowly warm up to you and despite him being a grumpy butt at times, he was actually a decent person. Despite him being an evil villain at one point too but in your opinion, the past is the past. Mandarin also began to try all sorts of new foods too, mainly junk food because he has never tried such things and became curious. He soon fell in love with all of it and ate to his heart's content, which you actually found adorable. Mandarin looked so happy when he ate and you were more than happy to give him whatever he was craving. There were times when you would come home from work with sweets from the restaurant and Mandarin would destroy it. He was becoming a glutton and you were becoming the reason. You were also becoming a reason for a few other things too. Mandarin laid back in his chair and groaned. "That was incredible." He sighed as you picked up his plate. "Are you full already?" You asked. Mandarin quickly shook his head and sat up. "No of course not! You still have that double cake from last night." He said. You nodded and grabbed the cake from the fridge before setting it down. "Now do you really want to eat all of it? Cause that's a lot of cake for one guy." You pointed out. Mandarin nodded and grabbed a fork. "I've ate an entire cake while you were at work before, this is nothing." He chortled before eating. No wonder you couldn't find that red velvet cake you brought home! You laughed and shook your head. "You're such a glutton." You said before sitting back down. As you did you noticed something was off about him. Mandarin was starting to wear more clothes as time went on, but they were starting to look rather snug. He was starting to get quite the belly and his face looked slightly puffier than usual. Your stomach felt like ice. Oh no he was getting chubby from all this food! How does he not notice it? Either he didn't or it didn't seem to bother him as he kept eating the cake, moaning at how tasty it was. As he kept eating, you saw his belly swell up getting fuller and fuller. You gulped and gripped your knees. This wasn't good, not one bit! You wanted to tell him about his weight gain but at the same time he looked so happy eating as much as he wanted. That and he was kinda cute chubby...you kinda wanted to see how fat he can really get. You blushed and shook your head before looking at the clock. "Okay I gotta go to work, food is in the fridge and if anyone knocks at the door don't attack them." Mandarin nodded and tapped his fork. "As long as I'm not being forced away from my food I'm fine." He said before continuing to devour the cake. You nodded and grabbed your stuff. As you left the image of Mandarin's round belly was still in your mind. You blushed again and patted your face. Jeez what was wrong with you?! You can't think like this! You just can't! You sighed and kept walking to work, trying to forget. ----------- Now that you noticed Mandarin's weight gain, you wanted to tell him that he was getting big but you ended up not being able to say anything. Instead you just kept giving him more and more food, causing him to get fatter. He gained several pounds since he entered your home and now was quite tubby. He had a large round belly that looked like a round pillow filled with pudding and jello. His thighs also thickened up and were no longer the stick thin legs he had before and his hips were quite wide as well. Mandarin also had quite the ass, rivaling his belly in size and softness. He was also getting an extra chin and had a much rounder face. This only made it harder for you to talk to him about his weight, because he looked so freaking cute! He was like an overstuffed plush toy that kept growing each day and you wanted to cuddle with him and feed him all sorts of yummies. One evening you came home and dropped your stuff off before peeking in the living room. Mandarin was laying on the couch with a book, snacking on cookies and chips. His book was rested on his belly as a cushion while Mandarin ate. You hid your growing blush and cleared your throat, getting his attention. He set down the book and went over to you. "How was work?" He asked. "Busy but good, here." You handed him a large bag of goodies. Mandarin's eyes lit up and he tore through the bag and grabbed some burgers. He then sat on the couch and began to eat them, almost as if he hadn't had food in weeks. You giggled and sat down on the couch before turning on the tv. "These are so good!" Mandarin groaned in between bites. You smiled. "I'm glad you like them! I gave you extra patties like I said I would." You said. Mandarin nodded before he continued to stuff his face. As he kept eating, neither of you didn't notice that the button on his pants was starting to strain against his growing frame. As you looked at him and began to speak, his button couldn't handle anymore pressure and popped off. Mandarin quickly looked down at his belly and his eyes widened. "Oh...oh no." He muttered as he grabbed a chunk of his belly. You began to sweat nervously. Uh oh, he's finally noticed. You thought it would have taken him longer but nope. Mandarin smacked his forehead in frustration. "Great! I'm gaining weight! I knew I should have controlled myself sooner!" He groaned. You gulped. "Hey it's not that bad Mandarin. You're not that big." You said before cringing at your choice of words. Mandarin eyed you and frowned. "I know that Y/N but still! No wonder my clothes have been feeling tight!" He laid back against the couch and continued to groan. You crawled over to him and patted his shoulder. "Hey come on now it's not that bad. Yeah you've gained some weight but hey at least you're happy with all the food you've been eating right? I mean you always looked happy when you ate so..." Mandarin rubbed his face and sighed. "Well yes the food has been amazing but...I knew this would happen if I ate junk food and now look at me." He said before rubbing his belly. You bit your lip, regretting not talking to him about it sooner. "Yeah...if you want to go on a diet or something I can help you if you want." You offered. Mandarin bit his lip and thought on it. Then he looked back at the hamburgers he was eating before. After several minutes in silence, minus the tv noise in the background, Mandarin let out a small breath. "You said I looked happy when I ate right?" He asked, looking at you. You nodded, not sure where he was going with this. Mandarin stared at the hamburgers again. "Erm I have been much happier here eating this stuff then back on Shuggazoom eating what I restricted myself to...so maybe if eating all of this high calorie filled feasts means gaining a few pounds then I don't think a diet would be necessary." He said before grabbing the hamburgers and kept eating. Your heart leapt into your throat as your face reddened. "You sure? Because I mean-" Mandarin shook his head and stuffed another hamburger into his mouth. "I am quite sure. Though..." he looked down at the button that flew off his pants. "Perhaps we should get bigger clothes...I may need those in the future." He said, giving a small chuckle. You giggled a bit and nodded, feeling glad that this conversation went better than you thought it would. -------- "Y/N!" Not even two seconds into walking into the house and he was calling for you. You sighed but smiled as you peeked into the living room. "Yeah?" Mandarin was smacking the side of the tv and frowning slightly. "We should invest in a radio or something that can have us listen to those podcast things! Not this broken stupid thing!" He ranted. You walked over to him and looked at the tv. It was completely dark. "What happened to it?" You asked. "It just suddenly turned off! The power is fine and there's no visible issues outside, so- ugh this thing is obsolete!" Mandarin snapped before giving the tv a small kick. You placed a hand on his shoulder and massaged it gently. "Hey come on now no need to kick it. The thing is just old and may need to be replaced soon." Mandarin's anger melted away when you massaged his shoulder and he began to calm down. "Does it do this sometimes?" He asked. You nodded and went behind the tv. "Oh yeah sometimes! I think you just need to plug it in and out again." You explained before pulling the plug out of the wall before plugging it back in. The tv then turned back on and you smiled. "Well that's that! Better?" You asked, looking at Mandarin. Mandarin looked away and cleared his throat. "I um suppose. Thank you." He said softly. You giggled and patted his arm. "Come on I got you more cookies." You said, pulling a few trays of cookies out of your bag. Immediately Mandarin's eyes lit up and he grabbed the trays, setting them on the couch and began to devour them. You went into your room and changed out of your work clothes before changing into some sweats and a loose fitting shirt. You then looked over and saw a gift certificate your boss gave you a while back. 'Give this to one of your family members or friends! Free meal!' You pondered over who to give it to before an idea popped into your head. You peeked out at Mandarin as he was already done with half the containers and was eating happily away. The golden goose was an all you can eat buffet...perfect for a gluttonous round orange simian. You smirked before shaking your head. No! You shouldn't be planning ways to fatten up Mandarin even more! You shouldn't be trying to even think about these sorts of things but at the same time...at the same time... "Um hey Mandarin?" ------------ Mandarin drooled as he passed by all sorts of goodies before sitting down at a table. You sat next to him as he looked at the food hungrily. You tapped his shoulder, making him turn to you. You wiggled your fingers towards the buffet and smiled. "Go ahead and get what you want, I'll wait for our drinks." Mandarin then quickly got up and went to get his plates. It took a bit before Mandarin came back, having plates full of food. The other customers were looking at Mandarin in disgust and shock. Mandarin ignored their stares and began to scarf down what was in front of him. You ate a little bit while the two of you talked when Mandarin's mouth wasn't filled with food. All the while you noticed his belly swell up and push past his shirt, showing a bit of his belly. You blushed lightly as you watched him grow, shakily sipping your drink. Mandarin then kept going back to the buffet, getting more food, eating all of it, then rinse and repeat that several times. By the time he got his seconds of desserts, his shirt has rose quite a bit and his belly was as large as a watermelon. Mandarin stuffed a brownie covered in chocolate sauce and ice cream into his mouth before wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Tasty ain't it?" You asked, reviving a nod. "Yes-*urp*- very." Mandarin said before excusing himself. You were done eating at this point and just watched him eat and enjoy himself. In a while Mandarin was completely full and he sat back and groaned. "I...I cannot anymore." He said softly as he rubbed his belly. You poked his belly a bit and smirked. "Really? I was sure you were gonna eat more spaghetti or pizza before the night was over." You teased. "Y/N don't poke my stomach I'll vomit." Mandarin wheezed, causing you to laugh. "Okay sorry, you ready to go?" You asked, having already paid your bill. Mandarin slightly nodded and as you got up you noticed Mandarin was having a bit of trouble, given the heaviness of his belly. You reached out a hand to him and he looked at it for a moment. "I-I'm fine." He grumbled before trying to get up again. You rolled your eyes and sighed. "Come on you big baby let me help." Mandarin shook his head and kept trying, his heavy body making it very hard. "Nonsense I can get up on my own! I'm not that fat yet." He huffed before fully getting up. He panted a bit and wiped the sweat appearing on his forehead. "Nope but you're getting there." You thought as the two of you left the restaurant as your boss watched, jaw dropped. "Give me more gift certificates that guy needs to come back here more!" ---------- Soon enough Mandarin wasn't considered chubby anymore but now he was very fat. His belly ballooned over his belt and his thighs squashed up against each other, making him waddle. Which of course embarrassed him to no end but you found it adorable regardless. His cheeks were very full and round, looking like he stuffed two dinner rolls in his mouth and gained an extra chin. You loved his new figure and couldn't help but imagine him getting fatter and more dependent. Soon enough he was having trouble getting out of his seat by himself and he grew lazier and lazier. You wanted to hug him and cuddle with him so badly, but you didn't know if Mandarin would be comfortable with that sort of thing so you didn't even try to ask. But still you couldn't help but fantasize about these sort of things. You had a day off so you decided to sleep in, after a night of nearly endless orders. Suddenly you felt the weight of the bed shift heavily and heard a loud creak, causing you to wake up. You turned to Mandarin, who was getting on the bed tiredly. "Um Mandarin?" You asked. "Mm?" Mandarin didn't even look at you as he laid in bed. You blinked, still waking up. "Why are you in my bed?" You asked. "My bed is getting small...yours is large... and more comfortable." Mandarin muttered, eyes closed. You nodded, Mandarin's bed was small...but then again it fit him just fine several hundred pounds ago. Mandarin sighed and curled up in bed. "Did you eat already?" You asked, receiving a nod. "Pancakes and waffles galore. I'm quite happy." Mandarin said with a smile, rubbing his bloated belly. You giggled and patted his head. "I'm glad. Now I gotta make breakfast." You said, trying to get up but Mandarin grabbed your arm. "No it's your day off, sleep." He pulled you back down and yawned. "Mandy-I mean Mandarin it's almost eleven! I need food too!" You whined. "Mm brunch then." He teased, opening one eye. You scoffed and got up to make breakfast. "I'm sleeping in your bed then!" "Okay!" You called back and laughed. He was such a cutie, despite him being a grump ass. After you were done making breakfast you peeked back into your room. Mandarin was fast asleep on your bed, curled up with a pillow and sleeping soundlessly. Your chest warmed up as you leaned over the bed. He looked really cute, his chubby cheek squishing up against the pillows and he looked so peaceful. You smiled and stroked his cheek, being careful not to wake him up. He was really really cute. Soon you went and began to clean around your house and attended to your flowers outside. While you were watering some flowers you saw Mandarin peek out into the back deck. You smiled and waved. "How was your nap sleeping beauty?!" You called out. Mandarin yawned and stretched. "Lovely, thank you for asking." He said. You smiled dreamily, falling more and more in love with him. Mandarin noticed your smile and raised an eyebrow. "What's with that smile?" He asked. You blushed and looked down. "Nothing!" You squeaked. Mandarin kept his eyebrow raised but looked out into your backyard. He leaned over the railing and sighed. "This planet is very peaceful and quiet, it's nice." He said with a small smile. "Mandarin that's because you're living in the quiet and very secure suburbs. The city is much louder and more chaotic but the good kind of chaotic I think." You said, setting your watering can down. Mandarin then gave a disgusted look. "Ugh does that mean we have to deal with those soccer moms and their stupid neighborhood watches and Tupperware parties?" He asked, making you laugh hard. "Hey they're actually very nice ladies, it's just a few of them that's annoying as you describe." You pointed out as you went up the stairs to the deck. You stood over the railing with him and looked out into the yard, the gentle breeze passing by you two. You glanced at Mandarin and smiled a bit. He was just looking out into the yard, clearly enveloped in his own thoughts. You began to think for a little bit. "Erm so I take it that means you're staying here then?" You asked. Mandarin looked at you for a moment and then looked down. "Where else can I go? I don't want to go back to Shuggazoom anytime soon. The Hyperforce will try to fight me and Skeleton king would try to destroy me if he was still around. Anywhere else doesn't interest me and I already have a roof over my head and food to eat so...I'm fine with staying here." He then looked back into the yard and smiled. "Besides like I have said before, this planet is peaceful and quiet. I'd rather be somewhere like that than a place constantly overrun by monsters and other villains." He said, making you chuckle. You edged closer to him enough where your shoulders were touching. "Good, I'm happy that you're happy here." You said softly. Mandarin eyed you before looking down at the flowers. "Have you ever thought of making a vegetable garden?" He asked. "Ooh I was actually!" -------------- With Mandarin's growing girth, you ended up going to clothing stores quite a lot. He ended up having to buy clothes a few sizes bigger so they would last longer, well by a few months maybe. Mandarin peeked at a few shirts before pulling them off the racks. He looked at the sizes and then the price tags before setting them into the cart. "Anything good?" You asked as you came back from the t shirt aisle. Mandarin nodded and motioned towards the rack. "And a few new pants as well. Mine are getting tight again." He sighed as he placed his hand on his hip. "Probably from all those fries going to your thighs." You teased, pointing at his pillow like thighs. Mandarin grumbled and pouted, making you laugh. "Come on let's check out and stop by Chucky's Cheeseburgers before we go to the park. I know you like them." You sung, making Mandarin whip his head up. "Yes please!" At the checkout aisle you couldn't help but notice people sneaking glances at Mandarin. Most of them held curiosity or genuine shock at the fact that a monkey like him can get so fat. Others though were of disgust and discontent, making you glare right back at them. Assholes. He wasn't even that huge yet. Keyword being yet. Mandarin ignored their stares though and the two of you walked out of the store. Feeling your anger, Mandarin looked at you. "Is everything alright?" He asked. You shook your head and sighed. "Nothing Mandarin, people are stupid." Mandarin smirked. "Now you know how I feel interacting with people on a daily basis." He said before chuckling. You smiled, okay that made you feel a bit better. "By the way, I was bothered by their staring at first you know." You turned to Mandarin, surprised. Mandarin eyed the ground as the two of you kept walking. "I was very uncomfortable by it at first and I knew why they were looking at me with such distaste. I was bigger than the average citizen around here and I knew they didn't take my gluttonous habits too well." He explained. Your chest pained hearing that, if anyone said anything to Mandarin you will fight them. Mandarin then lifted his head up. "But sooner or later I cared less about what they thought of me and my weight. It's none of their business on how heavy I am and I don't need their approval. I don't need anyone's approval." He huffed. Your smile came back as you edged towards him. "That sounds like you're gaining confidence Mandy." Mandarin eyed you before closing his eyes. "I'm not sure if it's that but whatever." You giggled and the two of you entered your car. When you got your lunch, Mandarin couldn't wait and began to eat his burgers. You only got a smoothie since you have your lunch in a cooler. "These are amazing!" He exclaimed as he kept eating. You giggled as you kept driving. "I know! I prefer their chicken nuggets and smoothies but eh." You said, holding up your smoothie. "It's a hamburger place! Why do they need chicken nuggets?!" "Cause it's yummy you butt!" You teased. You soon pulled into a park and Mandarin took his food with him. You grabbed a cooler full of food you made before and you two sat at a set of picnic tables with a roof over it. Mandarin sat down and pulled out the rest of his food. You sat next to him and pulled out the rest of the food. Mandarin kept eating and enjoying himself while you sipped your smoothie and enjoyed the outdoors. You wanted to talk to Mandarin about something your boss said to you yesterday. "Say Mandy?" "You've been calling me that all day, is that my new nickname?" Mandarin asked, eyebrow raised. You nodded and snapped your fingers. "Yep that's what I'm gonna call ya from now on! Anyway, my boss was really happy that you ate so much at work a while back." You began. "He was?" Mandarin asked after gulping down some water. You nodded before turning your body around to him. "Yeah, less leftovers for him you know? Anyway he was wondering if you-and you can say no on this- he was wondering if you would be the one to finish off said leftovers and be their taste tester." You said. Mandarin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "A taste tester and I guess a leftover vacuum cleaner?" He asked. "Yep! You'd get paid too! I figured you've been bored just sitting around the house all day so hey maybe this will be perfect for you." You said, lifting your smoothie. Mandarin looked down at the table and thought about it. You leaned over to his ear. "You get to eat as much goodies as you want." You whispered. Mandarin sat up straight before looking at you. "When can I start?" -------------- Thus Mandarin began to come to your work around closing time to finish off any leftovers you guys may had, which surprisingly you had plenty of. Then your boss would come over to your house with whatever food creation he made and had Mandarin eat it.  Mandarin loved his new job but all of this eating added to his ever expanding belly. He continued to get bigger and fatter each week, causing you to love every single pound he would gain. Eventually you and Mandarin started to get a little more closer than usual. It started off as simple flirting on your end, but surprisingly he started to subtly flirt back. With his fat. You groaned as you stretched. "Jeez that was rough!" You sighed as you took off your apron. One of your coworkers, Yaz, chuckled. "What not enough orders for more food to be made for ya Y/N?" He teased. "Ugh don't get me started! How can anyone take down an entire tray of ribs twice?!" You huffed before trying to massage your shoulder. Yaz shrugged. "Eh the same way your boyfriend has been taking down leftover after leftover." He said. You froze up when he said boyfriend. "M-Mandarin and I are not-!" "Oh please! You two are nearly connected to the hip!" Yaz laughed as he set down his apron. You blushed furiously and looked out towards the dining area. Mandarin was eating all of the leftovers and he looked like he was in heaven. You blushed even more before Yaz patted your head. "Go on, sit with your boyfriend." He said before pushing you out. "Hey!" You huffed before nearly tripping. You sighed and went over to Mandarin. "Hey you." You greeted, sitting next to him. Mandarin waved before continuing to eat. Your heart pounded hard against your chest as you watched him eat before trying to massage your shoulder again. You turned your body away and began to grab your purse, looking for your ibuprofen. Mandarin noticed this and stopped eating. "Your shoulders hurt?" He asked. You nodded. "Yeah like a bitch. Tonight has been really rough on my shoulders and back." You said. "Oh well then." Then you felt Mandarin's hands on your shoulders and his big soft belly press against your back. You blush heavily and squeaked. You then felt Mandarin massage your shoulders and you sighed, feeling relief. "Feel better?" Mandarin asked with a small smirk. You nodded, feeling nervous at the tone of his voice. It was more flirty than normal and you were not used to it! You felt Mandarin press his belly into your back harder, causing you to blush even more. He was so soft, like a big warm marshmallow. You stifled a few noises and covered your mouth. If there were still a few workers left, they were all pulled into the kitchen so you two could be left alone. "Y/N your shoulders are very tense you know...that's not good." Mandarin said, still in that flirty tone of voice. You gulped and shuddered. Where did this Mandarin come from?! "Perhaps you should let me massage your shoulders after every difficult night at work. You need to release tension." Mandarin pressed his belly harder, causing you let out a loud squeak. "M-m-maybe yeah! Good idea!" You sputtered. You could have sworn you heard Yaz's snickers from the kitchen. If he was you were gonna kick his ass. Mandarin chuckled. "Y/N you don't have to be so nervous around me." He said softly, his warm breath grazing your ear. You shivered and gulped. He stopped massaging your shoulders but kept his belly pressed up against your back. "Mandarin have...have you been drinking?" You asked. Mandarin shook his head. "No alcohol makes me weepy, trust me I'm sober." Mandarin said. Mandarin's hands went below your shoulders and kept massaging. You sighed and closed your eyes, that did feel a lot better. His belly was still up against your back and you were half tempted to grab a chunk of it or rub it but your arms remained lifeless. When he was done you looked back at him, face still flushed. "Thanks.." Mandarin smiled and went back to his food. "It's nothing, now I must finish this off before we go home." He said before continuing to eat. You sat there in a daze, unsure what to say or do now. When you snapped out of your daze and looked at his belly. You then scooted closer to him and smirked. You then placed a hand on his belly and rubbed it gently. "Hey keep eating like this and soon your belly will be covering my whole back." You teased lightly. Mandarin smirked, still chewing. "With the way I'm eating I'll soon be filling out the entire couch before too long." He said. "And maybe my whole bed." You said, not realizing you were inching closer to him. "And maybe the whole...the whole room." You two were awfully close and pulled back when you snapped out of it. What was going on right now?! Suddenly you heard Yaz laugh extremely hard and you got up with a spoon. "Yaz I swear I'm gonna fight you!" You shouted before going after him. "You'll never take me alive!" You heard a small chuckle from Mandarin and blushed. ----------- After that night you had no idea how to approach Mandarin the next day. You were on the couch just lost in your own thoughts. Mandarin soon entered the room and yawned. "What a night..." he sighed before noticing you were in the room. "Oh um...morning." He greeted. "Morning." You greeted back. The two of you were silent before Mandarin sat down next to you, the seat sinking significantly. You looked down before eyeing Mandarin. "So um about last night..." Mandarin blushed heavily. "I apologize if I made you uncomfortable Y/N. I swear I had no idea what was going on through my head." He defended. You shook your head and turned to him. "What? No you didn't make me uncomfortable! You were just trying to help and um..." You blushed, remembering the feeling of Mandarin's large stomach against your back. Mandarin blushed and hid his face. "That was so embarrassing of me! What in the world was I thinking?!" He groaned. You laughed. "What you were thinking?! What about me?! With my hand on your gut  and alluding to how huge you're gonna be, jeez it's like my brain was on autopilot!" You whined, laying on your side. Mandarin blushed harder and chuckled. "I mean you weren't wrong! I am going to get pretty large before too long." He said. You nodded and sat up and looked at him. "What's going on between us? It's like lately we've been all flirty and acting weird." You said. Mandarin nodded and rubbed his arm. "I have been...more physical with you lately. Not that I want sex, I don't actually care for sex." He pointed out. "No no I understand that but you have been um...flirting with me using your...well..." You poked Mandarin's belly. Mandarin gulped and placed a hand over his belly. "And you've been flirting with me by telling me how huge I will be and how erm 'cute' I've been. Do you really find me adorable?" Mandarin asked. You paused before you nodded. "Well yeah, I mean you're like a big fluffy warm pillow. How can you not be cute with these chubby cheeks?" You said, pressing your hands against Mandarin's face. Mandarin smiled a bit and leaned into the touch. "Well thank you...and you have been so wonderful to me. Letting me stay in your house, being so kind to me, and feeding me such amazing food. I can't thank you enough." He said softly. You smiled warmly, your chest beating heavily. "You're such a sweetie Mandarin, underneath all that grumpy sour pussness." You teased. Mandarin playfully glared at you, making you laugh hard. He laughed as well and leaned against you. You leaned towards him and rested your forehead against his. "You're truly wonderful Y/N." Mandarin said softly. "So are you Mandy." You quietly said, closing your eyes. You then felt Mandarin's lips press against yours, and your whole body felt like it was on cloud nine. You deepened the kiss and held onto him, your hands trailing to his waist. You then felt Mandarin's hand on your cheek as you kept kissing. You let go for a moment before kissing again. After a while you both pulled apart and you nuzzled him. "That was...you're a good kisser." You said with a small smile. Mandarin snickered and kissed your head. "Same to you." You looked towards the kitchen and then back at Mandarin. "You want breakfast? I'm sure you're starving." You cooed, rubbing Mandarin's belly. Mandarin quickly nodded. "Very much so."
