Hefty Halloween, Part 2

Three years ago

Kevin and Zane officially became an item shortly after meeting at the party, and at the start of the next year, Zane moved in with Kevin and became a resident of the Regal Bay Towers. The two were very happy together and were easily considered the best-looking couple in the building – which led to them getting invited to almost every brunch, party, and get-together that the other owners were having. Everyone wanted to have the two hot, muscular boyfriends at their celebration (especially so they could show them off in their Instagram posts), and Kevin and Zane showed up because they were both very sociable people and enjoyed the company…and the free food. Anytime they didn’t have to spend on meal prep would mean more bedroom time later that night.

For Zane, this extra food was not a problem. He got up at 5:30 each morning and regularly hit the gym hard (he loved to work up a good sweat), and then would begin his workday around 9:00am. As a pharmaceutical rep, Zane felt he needed to stay in great shape because he wanted to portray an image of fitness since he worked with many nutritionists and dieticians, and it also certainly didn’t hurt his sales quota when he would show up at a hospital or doctor’s office in his skin-tight polo shirts. Because of his commitment to working out, he managed to add about 15 pounds of muscle to his frame in the first nine months living with Kevin and now weighed 250 pounds of very attractive beef.

Kevin, however, didn’t have as much time to work out as his partner. He also got up at 5:30am with Zane, but he had to go directly to the office since the stock market opened on the West Coast at 6:30am, so he didn’t have time to hit the gym each morning, and he only sporadically squeezed in workouts afterward since he wanted to spend as much time as possible with Zane. As such, he also gained 15 pounds between New Year’s and the end of summer, but his was fat. He was back up to the same 210 pounds he had weighed the previous year – not exactly flabby, but clearly not as ripped as he had been.

When it came to Halloween that year, since he hadn’t had the time to lose the weight he had gained, Kevin decided he wasn’t going to wear his Chippendale clothes for the third time in a row – he just didn’t feel like he looked his best, so he wanted to cover up a little more. He was also going to have to attend the party solo, since Zane was going to be away at a trade show for his company, so he didn’t have to worry about coming up with a couples’ costume. 

On the evening of the event, Kevin put on what he thought would be the perfect outfit – it was Zane’s old wrestling singlet from when he was in high school. Kevin wasn’t as thick as Zane, but his extra height helped him to fill it out, and he put on a white t-shirt underneath to conceal the fact that he didn’t have the same level of musculature as his boyfriend. Overall he liked what he saw in the mirror – the shiny material was very eye-catching, as was the bulge in his crotch (and his slightly bigger ass also stuck out nicely), so he figured the full effect would still help him to drum up some business at the party.

Kevin headed downstairs at 6:00pm and immediately got the attention he desired – he may not have been as ripped as in previous years, but he still was more fit and more attractive than the other male partygoers. Kevin started making the rounds and connecting with potential clients, and eventually made his way to the buffet to get some dinner and Halloween treats.

Two years ago

The next year provided some good news and bad news for Kevin. First the good news – he had been doing such terrific work that he received a promotion and was now managing a team of investment consultants, so he didn’t have to worry so much about chasing down new clients. Gone were the days of having to hustle and schmooze with every person he met to convince them to invest with him. The bad news was that along this promotion came a bigger time commitment, which meant that sometimes he was working 70-80 hours per week, and often had to travel to New York for meetings. He would sometimes be gone for a week or two, away from his boyfriend Zane and away from his routine.

What little time Kevin had been able to carve out for exercise went away, and it was replaced with three-martini dinners at fancy steakhouses with the senior managers, lots of time in front of his computer reviewing reports, and an endless amount of paperwork. The result of these changes? You guessed it – Kevin put on even more weight. Originally he had hoped to slim back down to 195 before the next Halloween, but instead he had gone up 30 pounds to 240 by the time late October rolled around. Now 240 on a 6’3” man is still not yet at obese levels, but one could definitely see the changes in his physique. His face filled out with chubbier cheeks and jowls, and he was dangerously close to adding a second chin. His pecs began to droop a little, his belly softened and pooched out, and his back end began to change from a tight bubble butt to a wider dimpled ass that he could clearly see when he turned his head. Kevin, so used to being the hot one strutting around the office in perfectly tailored suits, was now just thought of as one of the older (he was only 28!) fat cats who had traded his gym membership for a bigger back account.

The suits he used to wear no longer fit, of course, so they gathered dust in the back of the closet while Kevin made do with off-the-rack clothing that he considered temporary until he could fit back into them. The new clothes never looked as sharp on him since they weren’t tailored, and they only added to his slightly dumpier appearance. Making things worse was that there was almost always some sort of food stain on his blazer or shirt from the four jelly donuts he would stuff down his mouth when first arriving at the office, or from the salsa he would load onto the two giant breakfast burritos he’d have each morning at 10:00 as a snack.

The thing was – even with the added pounds, Kevin still thought he looked pretty good. Yes, he missed having an athletic physique and the attention it attracted, but he was also comfortable (or at least getting there) with his new thicker, wider body. He didn’t understand it, but something had changed with him in the last few months – he liked seeing new stretch marks on his tummy, he enjoyed playing with his growing love handles, and he got excited seeing the numbers go up and up on the scale. Sometimes, while Zane was away at the gym, Kevin would even jack off as he fantasized about getting bigger.

None of these changes were much appreciated by Zane. He missed spending time with boyfriend, and he certainly missed Kevin’s tight body that used to rev up his lust every night in bed – that man had been replaced with a very busy, very tired, and very bloated substitute. Zane understood that Kevin’s career was important, and he wanted him to do well, but he was beginning to doubt that there would be a long-time future in the relationship.

All these challenges finally came to head on Halloween. Zane made a few suggestions for couples’ costumes that they might wear – one example was regular Thor for himself, and fat Thor for his boyfriend – but they were rejected by Kevin because he always felt like he was the butt of the joke, so they decided to not work together on them. Ultimately, Zane did end up choosing to go as Thor, since it showed up his body so well, and Kevin chose to go as a lumberjack. He borrowed a large red and black plaid shirt and a pair of jeans from one of his larger co-workers, added a toque and a pair of boots, and grew out some scruff on his chin to complete the look. The pair arrived at the party together but then drifted into separate areas as they mingled with their neighbors.

Kevin soon made his way to what his favorite place – the buffet table – and started grazing through the various entrées and desserts. He wasn’t sure who had made the chocolate chip cookies, but they were so delicious he couldn’t stop after the first one and ended up eating 14 of them altogether. He rubbed his belly when he done, let out a belch, and began to wonder what had happened to Zane. Kevin looked around the room and didn’t see him anywhere, and he wondered if his boyfriend had gone back upstairs. He pulled his phone from his back pocket and tried to text Zane, but he realized he had no signal, so he stepped into the hallway to see if he could get better reception.

He walked down the hall a bit and noted that two receptions bars finally popped up, so Kevin started composing his text and was just about to send it when he noted the door on the storeroom was open instead of closed like it should be. Kevin wondered if the homeowners’ association might be storing more of those delicious chocolate chip cookies in the room (he was still hungry even after devouring over 5,000 calories within the last half hour) and wandered in to see if he could get his hands on a few more. He flipped on the light and was shocked to find Zane and Robert, the fireplug fireman from 6D, madly kissing up against one of the storage cabinets.
