With Great Power. (March 2022 Prompt)

“I can’t believe you’re so skinny when you practically gorge yourself on the daily.”

Doug couldn’t help but smirk before taking another bite from the double patty burger he was having. Glancing over to his friend Carl, the slim man saw how Carl was shaking his head in disbelief at the almost gluttonous display that Doug was putting on.

“Just good genes I guess,” Doug said after swallowing down the mixture of meat and carbs, taking a gulp from his soda, stifling a belch before continuing. “Besides, I do plenty of cardio.”

“Dude, I’ve seen your dad. Good genes my ass.” Carl laughed out, shaking his head. “Besides, what cardio? Playing video games? Seriously, how do you stay so skinny when you eat so much? I’m genuinely shocked you’re not bigger than your dad already.”

“Well, maybe I’m just lucky.” Doug shrugged, sipping his drink before he glanced across the table at his friend, noticing how Carl’s t-shirt rode up across his stomach and exposed the slight treasure trail of hair against the pale skin. The round sphere of fat spread out across his lap as it edged close to the table edge. “Looks like you’ve been gaining though.”

Carl sighed, looking down at his slightly exposed gut, giving the shirt a tug to try and cover himself. “Yeah, I guess the Freshman fifty hit me. Though I haven’t been making a pig of myself like you’ve been.”

“Well, you’ve clearly been snacking,” Doug said, taking the final bite of his feast, getting to work wiping the grease off his hands and face. “Maybe you should give in and try out for the frat I joined.”

“I may have gained some weight since coming to this college, but I’m nowhere near the size of those whales you call frat brothers.” Carl said, clearly indignant with the suggestion that was put forward by Doug.

“Come on, they’re not that f-” Doug ban to say only to be interrupted.

“Doug, the president of the Epsilon Alpha Tau fraternity is so big his belly was used as a billboard for last month's spirit week,” Carl said, holding up a hand with one finger pointed up.

“Well yeah, but.”

“He’s so fat that when the pledges tried to get his fat ass in a pickup truck, he broke the rear axle and popped the tires.” Carl continued, raising another finger with the point.

“Okay, you made your-”

“He’s so fat,” Carl began, raising his voice as he raised a third finger. “That he might outweigh your dad.”

“Oi! He can’t take my dad’s title of biggest man in the world.” Doug said defensively, though he laughed at Carl’s exaggeration.

“Okay, you’re right. No one has broken the record of Dale “The Elephant” Grande. But you gotta admit it’s still weird how you’re the skinniest guy when practically every man in your life is cresting the tonne mark at minimum.” Carl said, recalling some of the photos and profiles he had seen from Doug’s home town. “Seriously, not many places can claim the right to being the fattest town ever.”

“Heh, sure did make for an amazing life being around such big guys.” Doug said, chuckling a bit with Carl shaking his head before grunting as he stood up. Carl’s shirt rode up to expose not just more of his swollen gut, but the back revealed his ample ass and love handles.

“Maybe you just cause guys around you to grow,” Carl said absentmindedly, trying to tug back down his shirt. The chubby man was focused on that task; he didn't notice the surprised look that flashed across Doug’s face. The slim man quickly schooled his expression, trying to make sure Carl didn’t see the momentary slip. “Well anyway, I gotta go and pack up for the trip back home.”

“Y-Yeah, I’ll see you when you get back.” Doug said, waving to the impressive sized Carl as the large student waddled off.

‘Can’t believe how close he was.’ Doug thought to himself, watching Carl waddle off, taking in how his ass wobbled with every step he took. Waiting until Carl’s ample rear disappeared with the chubby man going through the canteen’s doors, Doug sighed before relaxing back into his seat. Since discovering his power years ago, Doug has always been anxious about someone accidentally discovering it. Course, not many people would say the power to transfer weight you would gain to other men is an impressive power, but Doug found it enjoyable watching men swell out and let themselves become hedonistic hogs of men. Stretching as he got up, Doug picked up his plates and went to set them aside for cleaning as he glanced around the canteen, taking in some of the portly guys he had clearly been affecting during his feasting. A couple of the football players tugged their shirts as their swollen guts and more blubber packed chests forced their clothing to stretch. Doug enjoyed the sight of the fattened men before he headed back to the frat.

Walking back to the frat, Doug took in the signs across campus. The various student organisations had seemingly given up on the health posts to combat the steadily ‘growing’ student body. The current signs mention more deals for restaurants and places to get clothing to fit. The real change had come after Doug had urged the Dean into outgrowing his suit and the then nine-hundred pound man gorging himself at the canteen, eating straight from the heating dishes.

Getting back to the frat, Doug was greeted by the sight of the frat members showing off the new competitive eating club. The cheering crowd around the five swollen frat members, their car-sized bodies pressed against the troughs filled with greasy foods. Some of the members brought food to their mouths with their baseball mitt sized hands as others just shoved their fat faces into the food. Their swollen chipmunk like cheeks wobbled about as they belched. The sound of their powerful gas drowned out the impressed crowd. Looking over the fat, grease coated faces of his fraternity brothers, Doug quickly spotted the president Lucas. The enormous blob of a man chugging beer from a keg almost like a beer can as the crowd cheered him on, a few small men resting atop the impressive sized man's belly. 

The gargantuan man let out a truly earth shaking belch, causing his own and the other frat brothers bodies to wobble from the force before the chubby students watching cheered on. Doug was a bit let down that he'll miss the chance to see the men before him swell out, but he hoped his time back home could see his dad add another ton to his weight.
