After a loud scuffle and some muffled shouts from the next room, my friend nick walked through the doorframe with a huge bloated bouncing belly stretching out his shirt. “All done?” I ask, looking up at him and grinning. “Yup,” he smiles back, letting out a satisfied burp. “Thanks big guy,” I say, reaching up from my seat on the couch to pat his bulging gut.
Let me explain: My buddy nick and I hate our third roommate. We had initially planned to live together just the two of us, but had to pick up a third roommate to find some place affordable. We’d found him online and from the get-go he was just a nightmare. Loud, rude, annoying, messy, the only reason we kept him around was cause he paid rent and was out of the house most of the day.
But a couple weeks ago he started teasing nick for no reason, calling him fatass and tubby and piggy. Don’t get me wrong, nick loves being a fatass. He’ll talk pretty openly about how full his belly is or how much weight he gained that week, but it takes all the fun out when someone’s actually trying to insult you. So we devised a plan. I asked nick if he thought he could fit our whole roommate in his gut and his eyes instantly lit up. After a couple weeks of capacity training we knew his gut was big enough to handle a man sized meal, and he was excited to try.
Now standing in front of me, holding his gut and panting, I knew we made the right decision. Not only was our shit roommate dealt with, but nick had a look of full satisfaction that I’d never imagined. He waddled around and plopped on the couch, belly swaying as he did so, and peeled off his shirt. Then he gave me a look I’d only seen a couple times before. An expectant, wordless look that said only one thing: “come rub this gut”. I slid up next to him and placed my hands on his massive tank, discerning the heavy mass of our roomie trapped behind layers of squishy fat. Rubbing his gut I secretly hoped that whatever new roommate we found after this too would find an excuse to end up in nick’s hungry gut.
