#chubby!jim

AU where Jim and Bones grow up together in Iowa. Jim is a little chubby, has big black rimmed glasses and is super shy (.but really nice when you get to know him) and Bones is tall and slim, tanned and still has his southern drawl. No one really understands while the hot football payer is friends with the school nerd, but eventually they accept it and move on. When they are both teenagers Jim's mum dies in a car crash, so he goes to live in San Fran with Pike. They keep in touch via email and phone and while Bones spends his days doing chores on the farm, Jim takes up surfing and going to the gym with his new friends. Two years later Jim is finally old enough to go on his own back Iowa, he keeps it a surprise for Bones and when he knocks on the door and Bones opens it, he is prepared for a massive hug and 'I've missed you so much you little shit'. Instead he gets a confused look and 'sorry, can I help you?'. Jim is a little taken back and thinks Bones may have forgotten about him (they haven't talked much recently) so he takes his sunglasses off and is trying to explain when he is promptly lifted up and crushed In a hug because Bones would recognise those baby blues anywhere. And when he finally let's go and takes a good look at Jim, he kinda regrets it because that kid is now sex on legs; jim has lost all his chub, his hair is spiked messily, he is toned wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and he is no longer pale and pasty, but golden and glowing. And suddenly Bones wants nothing more than to kiss the kid but he holds back because this is His best friend, who he hasn't seen in two years. Thankfully Jim makes the decision for him as he reaches up and smashes their lips together. Because he knows they've both been waiting two years to do that.

Imagine if Jim got injured and had to stay on bed rest for a while which meant he put on some weight and was a bit more chubby than usual. Jim is really ashamed of this and is almost in tears when his command shirt barely fits him anymore but Bones is suddenly there with his arms around him saying that he's still beautiful and how he looks so much healthier and happier with a little chub. Bones them hands him some new command shirts and kisses him as he leaves. All the bridge crew remake on how happy and healthy he looks. It makes Jim beam with happiness
