(It was only a matter of time before my urges got the better of me and I targeted him.)

🥧

- Due to his anxiety, he sometimes forms bad habits to cope. He used to bite his nails, but since he mainly wears gloves all of the time, he had to come up with something else to cope.

- It wasn’t long before he somehow discovered stress snacking. It all started when Horangi offered him a candy bar when he was anxious before a mission. It kept him distracted long enough and actually made him feel better.

- It wasn’t long before he asked him for another. And another. Until all of Horangi’s stash was gone.

- Since then he always has a pocket just for snacks to munch on when he’s feeling anxious or nervous.

- At first the weight doesn’t show on him because of his height and he doesn’t notice himself, neither do his squad mates

- But as the snacking continues, the more weight he gains and then he can’t help but to notice.

-His teammates begin to notice some things about him too.

- Like how he struggles to buckle his belt before missions. At first it was nothing a little sucking in couldn’t fix but then he had to have Horangi help close his belt, much to his embarrassment but he insists that the belt was probably wearing down. Horangi just shrugged.

- Then he spent hours confined uncomfortably in a belt that was constructing his belly. It still didn’t stop him from snacking pre mission though.

- It wasn’t until after the mission, where he clawed to take his belt off and felt instant relief that he noticed something. He had a gut.

- Then it resorted to a whole bunch of problems for his anxious mind. Did the team notice his weight gain ?We’re the secretly making fun of him ? Did they think he was a fat pig ?!?

- Which only resulted in more snacking. Soon it wasn’t even snacking anymore, he was getting second and third helpings at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

(Picture is of Zombie Wolverine but that’s irrelevant, I saw the picture and it made me tingle so you get this. Also I don’t wanna hear shit about “He can’t gain weight because of XYZ” he’s been fat like thrice)

- After retiring from the X Men for good this time, Logan settled down in a cabin in the forest. Same old story but it’s secluded and there’s no one to bother him and that’s what he likes. Charles fortunately gave him a hefty retirement fund, because he should after all he put the team through, especially Logan.

- Town is about a half hour drive but he barely shows his face other than to make a weekly grocery run or to go to the bar for a drink when he feels like it but he mostly drinks at home.

- The weight gain is slow at first. He’s still semi active, goes out and gets firewood, takes walks, goes for runs.

- Then some of the local aunties (meaning older women in the community not literal aunties) start to take notice of him when he comes to town. They know he’s not married, they watch him at the grocery store and he gets the same sorry TV dinners and a twelve pack of beer, so they try to welcome Logan into the community.

- He declines their offers at first but soon he’s getting approached by different women in the street, and they’re handing him huge Tupperware containers filled with different dishes and he’s basically strong armed into taking each one home.

- Logan doesn’t waste food. It’s a pet peeve of his and he’ll feel bad if these people make him all of this food and it just goes to waste so he ends up eating multiple meals a day just to get through them and they all smell so good, he can smell almost every ingredient working together in flavor harmony and sometimes he just can’t resist.

- He starts getting soft. Physically and emotionally, towards the community at least. He starts socializing more and he feels bad because he thinks they’re going to turn their backs on him once they find out that he’s a mutant but the opposite happens.

- One day, a gang from outside the community starts causing trouble and wrecking stuff, and even vandalizes a store belonging to one of the kind women that makes food specially for him and Logan’s claws come out and the gang is ran off. Logan gets ready to start packing and relocating but the community actually thanks him and shows gratitude towards him, begging him to let them repay him, which Logan tries to rebuff. He doesn’t want payment or anything.

- So how else do they show their gratitude towards him ? By making him more food. So much that it barely fits in his fridge, so he has to eat some of it in order to make room for most of it.

- And it takes five slabs of ribs, two pot roasts, a plate of fried pork chops, chicken cooked fifteen different ways and so many sides that it’ll make your heads spin but the weight starts sticking.

- Then he actually starts going to all the different banquets and cookouts and bbq’s the community throws and it starts sticking even more. People start having cookouts just to see if they can get Logan to come by so they can talk. He even finds out that a lot of people in town actually brew their own beer so he’s constantly being asked to try new and different brews. They value his opinion and love his brutal honesty and his advice on what they should change in their brewing methods and if he favors it high enough he’ll even find himself coming home with crates full of homemade beer (which also leads to the town throwing an annual festival where everyone comes together to see who has the best brew and Logan becomes the judge)

- It takes a few years but Logan eventually ends up with a nice round potbelly and then a full fledged hairy gut. It bothers him at first because he has to go and buy new clothes, his belts dont buckle anymore and when they do it feels like he’s being hugged slightly too tight and of course the thoughts and nightmares of the team finding him, seeing how he “let himself go” and ridiculing him and he doesn’t even think about fitting into his old suit. But he learns to embrace it whenever he has these thoughts. Sure, is it a little flustering when people of the community jokingly rub his belly for “good luck” ? It is and old Logan probably would have broken someone’s hands for saying and doing that to him but he knows how to take a joke now and even plays along about how rubbing his belly will only bring bad luck

- Which eventually happens when for some convoluted reason the team has to get back together. They track Logan down and his new figure is indeed a surprise to them. Gambit immediately starts cracking some fat jokes and laughing because it’s just so funny to him. He’ll try to touch Logan’s belly asking when the baby’s due and if it’s a boy or a girl and even a “We came down here to find Wolverine but Gambit thinks dat dis fella out here ate him ! Looks like Wolverine is tryna give ol’ blob a run for his money” and yes, Morph makes jokes too, shape shifting into Wolverine’s old figure before shifting into his current figure because they just don’t understand and keep shifting “See ? Fit, Fat. Fit, Fat. Before. After.” and Logan growls and releases his claws and they eventually get the message but will still make the occasional crack.

- Scott starts lecturing immediately. “How could you let yourself go like this ?!? We need you and you’re out here gorging yourself like a pig ? Can you even fit into your suit anymore ? Seriously Logan why would you do this to yourself blah blah blah”

- Storm, Rogue and Jean eventually get all of them to back off of him and stop commenting on his weight, which Logan is thankful for. Storm even compliments him and says the weight looks good on him and he looks happier, healthier, but to not let it get too out of control and that he should keep up with some work outs and if he wanted he could come to the mansion and use the danger room, not to chastise him or lecture him but it comes from a place of concern and she wouldn’t mind seeing Logan now and again, maybe more frequently because she, like the rest of the team, secretly misses him.

- Even if Logan does go, it’s not as if he’s suddenly weak just because he’s gained weight. He can still handle himself very well much to the surprise of the others but if he doesn’t join them, they can fair well enough without him, they just wanted the extra help and for him to be part of the team again. They still encourage him to visit the mansion or let them visit him. And some of them (not naming names but you can guess) actually secretly like Logan’s new bod.

- After the world gets a little less fucked and he starts getting called on fewer missions and assignments, Leon just decides to call it quits.

- He's dedicated his entire life to fighting insane bioterrorism and he isn't getting any younger, so he turns in his gun and goes to live in a secluded villa somewhere.

- He finds out quickly that there isn't really shit to do in retirement and has a shit ton of free time on his hands. So he takes on cooking and baking.

- Just one problem though. The recipes Leon finds and cooks are meals made for families of at least 3. It's just him.

- He doesn't want anything to go to waste though and instead of just calling someone over to eat with or learning how to make smaller meals, he eats it all himself.

- It's just "Shit, I've made a whole family sized lasagna. Oh well." And just turns on a movie while eating the lasagna. By the time the credits roll, every trace is that lasagna is gone, even the burnt cheese at the ends.

- And because he's not on the field anymore, he doesn't have anything to help him keep himself spry and overly fit and he doesn't see the point in keeping up with his whole work out routine

- Mix that with the fact that he's 45 and doesn't have his 21 year old metabolism anymore, he packs on the pounds rather quickly.

- It starts at his stomach, then his chest, then his hips. And boy oh boy does it go to his ass.

- He doesn't even notice it at first, even when his jeans become tight and he struggles with the button. He doesn't even notice that his shirt rises up over his belly when he stretches.

- He finally notices when he bends down to pick up something and his clothes bursts like fireworks on the 4th if july. His pants split at the rear, his button ricochets off of a wall and a few fly off of his flannel too.

- And you know what ? He just shrugs it off and orders a new wardrobe online and sizes up. There are some times when he'll see a picture of his younger self and go "Wow look at me, I pulled so many women back then." And wonders if he could still do so now and sometimes pouts about him not being the slim fuckboy he was back then, but eventually stops caring.

- He still pulls women though. He still has his charm and charisma and whenever he goes grocery shopping in the nearby town, the women fawn over him because he's just so charming and they like his butt. He's gotten whistled at a few times because of his bubble butt.

- They towns women try to woo him by making him meals and desserts. Which, you guessed, only increased his weight. But he's a charming, single, man with a handsome face and a fat ass, and he can also cook, they're gonna try their darndest to seduce this man.

- After a year on retirement, he's at least 260-265, probably more, he stopped checking the scale a month ago.

- If someone like Chris or Claire or just whoever, comes knocking at his door with a whole "A new bioterrorism threat has started that can end the world, we need your help Leon, only someone with your expertise and experience can help us." speech prepared, they're gonna forget it as soon as the door opens and the first thing they see is Leon's gut.

- But it's their fault. A whole year goes by and they only check on the man when they need him to do something for them ?

- Chris would immediately go on a "How could you let yourself go like this ?" tirade, while Leon just stares at him blankly. He might even shut the door if Chris gets a little too mean with his tirade because he's not going to be insulted in his own home.

- Claire would just go "woah" and would try to beat around the bush and would try not to outright call Leon fat but Leon would just be like "It's okay, I know I got fat, no need to tiptoe around it."

- If Ada got a look at him, her eyes would be a little too fixtated on his ass and would totally blank out on whatever sly remarks or teasing comments she was going to say.

- If he does decide to come out of retirement to help, some cocky, young, new soldiers who've heard rumors of all of accomplishments, would definitely not believe that he's THE Leon Scott Kennedy.

- "This whale is the legendary Leon Scott Kennedy ?"

- "The only thing that fatass is taking down, is the local buffet."

- "Is this some sort of joke ?"

- Only to shut the fuck up when Leon proves that he's still got it. Despite not exercising for a year and eating whatever he wants, he's still pretty light and quick on his feet and he's still good with a gun. He's what you would call "Acrofatic".

- It's all Hizashi's fault. Well, partially.

- Shota didn't eat a lot as is, and often skipped meals.

- So during his recovery, after losing an eye and a leg, Hizashi made sure that he ate breakfast, lunch and dinner, with snacks in between and threatened to start singing showtunes if Shota didn't eat every last bite.

- So combine that with hin being out of commission, he obviously started putting on the pounds, it just wasn't noticeable. At first.

- After he got back to teaching, he thought he'd had escaped Hizashi forcing food on him and that he could start shedding his extra pounds.

- That is not what happened. When he entered the classroom, he was bombarded by his students with multiple get-well gifts of food that they either made themselves or bought.

- Either way, he ended up eating all of it in the span of only three days, because he knew if he had just shoved them all in the fridge, he would've forgotten about the food and it all would've went to waste. It certainly went to a waist though.

- He also didn't want to pass the food off to anyone else. His students made those dishes just for him, he'd feel guilty if he just tossed them on someone else, so he promises to eat them all and enjoy every last bite, even if he ends up so stuffed that he's fit to burst.

- And when his student's aren't trying to feed him, Hizashi and the other teachers are, and it's just a never ending cycle of eating.

- The weight mostly sticks to his stomach, so by the end of the month, he has a round, soft, stomach that proudly sticks out.

- That's not all though. The increase in food increases his appetite, so now, he's almost always hungry and is always snacking while teaching lessons. His students don't mind it though, because he looks more relaxed.

- Aizawa eventually gets used to it though and doesn't seem to mind it too much. One night, while grading papers, Eri sat next to him and ended up falling asleep with her head on his stomach, mummering the words "teddy bear" before passing out. It made his heart explode.

-

- He's finally got enough money to retire comfortably for several lifetimes. So what does he do ? Buy a ranch somewhere, where he can live comfortably and relax.

- He puts up his guns for good (well, not completely, he stilll uses his them to shoot cans in the backyard) and prepares for his hard earned relaxation, and he's got an eternity to enjoy it, since Shang Tsung had gifted him immortality.

- Buys a place in Outworld and a place in Earthrealm. He feels more comfortable in Outworld, due to him being there for so long, but he also still thinks of Texas as home. Also, it's nice to get away from Outworld bullshit from time to time, so his Texas farmhouse is sort of like his vacation house, his little get-away home.

- When he first moves into his Texas Farmhouse, he's immediately greeted by new neighbors, especially lonely, single, ladies, who come bearing gifts. And by gifts, I mean, food.

- Chicken fried steak, pecan pie, brisket, ribs, sausges, hamburgers, sheet cakes, tamales, frito pies, casseroles. Erron is surrounded by so much food, it could feed a village.

- At first, he's like "Ain't no way I can eat all this." But takes his first bite and he cant stop. He had forgotten how good food trom Texas was, so he's having a plate of everything.

- He also has a thing about wasting food. When he was little, his mom used to punish him severely for wasting even a crumb of food, so he refuses to waste or throw anything away.

- So the food's all gone in the span of maybe two days,because he didn't want to risk the food going bad and then having to waste it.

- You'd think that'd be that with his food adventure, but no.

- His neighbors who want to woo him take "a way to a man's heart is through his stomach." waaay too seriously. They also notice that Erron doesn't have a spouse or a partner, so its all a competition for who's dish will win Erron's heart first.

- Erron gets at least four or five full course meals at his porch in a day, and he eats it all. And it definitely starts to show over the course of a few months.

- It starts at his gut. He starts getting a little paunch that just gets rounder with all the food he's eating and the beer he's drinking.

- Then his chest starts to get a little fatter.

- Then his ass gets rounder and wider (that's his neighbors favorite part)

- He only notices it when he realizes that he has to work extra hard to buckle his belt, laying on his back and sucking in, just to get that damn belt to close.

- At the realization that he's gained weight, he'd just sigh, pat his gut and go get a beer. He figures since he's not a hired gun anymore, he doesn't have to worry about the weight and decides to just live with it. Sure, he might have to increase his wardrobe size, but he has the money to burn for it.

- It mostly sticks to his gut and his ass though, giving him a beer belly-bubble butt wombo combo.

- Doesn't go back to Outworld for a while because he doesn't want to risk anyone he knows seeing him and making fun of the fact that he got fat.

- Yeah, naw, this man was already chubby before I got to him.

- Remember when he said he needs to have his jacket let out at the ball ? It's because he gained weight and his jacket was tighter than it was when he was a young templar.

- Remember how he said that Sara kept trying to feed him cake because he looked hungry ? I suspect that he put himself on a diet but was being a grumpy butt, so she fed him.

- His armor just hides his chunkyness well but you can still tell that that man is thick around the waist.

- His weight sticks to his stomach, hips and ass (which is why those gross ass nobles kept groping his ass)

- He still has a lot of muscle, but his fat is just more visible.

- But he isn't in the field as much anymore and has a cushy new desk job and with Sara bringing him a bushel of sweets everyday, he's bound to put on more pounds.

- He tries desperately to diet along with exercise, but his diets keep getting sabotaged. Everyone has seen how grumpy Cullen is when he's hungry, so they get on board with Sara and feed him too.

- He also still eats like an active soldier, so he'll eat seconds, thirds and dessert even though he isn't as active on the field anymore and mostly sits behind a desk, doing paperwork.

- He also stress eats because it takes his mind off of lyrium, so there's that too. It's no wonder why he can't shed the pounds.

- But he also excercises, so he gets more of a musclechub body. Muscular arms and legs, thick thighs, juicy bubble butt and a pair of perky pecs resting on top of his rounded belly.

- He hates it at first because he's claims that he's 'letting himself go' but if he's in a romance with the Inquisitor, they're gonna show Cullen how much they really love his body and suddenly, he won't have a problem with the changes anymore.
