This is a story I wrote a long time ago. It's not my favorite, but I kind of like it.. and I -DID- write it, so I figure that I might as well post it here?

I was trying out a weird style as I wrote it, too. Anyway, HERE

Benjamin - Part One


"Benjamin! It's time to go to school, wake up!"

Our hero's morning begins much as any other, with a loud and slightly obnoxious wake-up call from his mother. He grumbled a bit and pulled the covers tighter around himself, determined to avoid going to school for as long as he could. He closed his eyes with the wish that maybe it would snow four feet in the next fifteen minutes.

"Benjamin! Get yourself out of bed this instant; don't make me come up there!"

He considered making a pact with some ancient god of weather, but was far too tired to see this through. He groaned to himself and threw the covers off of his body, swinging himself over the side of the bed. This is, if you will, the first chance the reader gets to see our young Benjamin in the flesh, and it is, as always, the author's duty to explicitly detail the image before us.

Benjamin is a young man, perhaps sixteen or seventeen with very ordinary features. He has light brown hair and green eyes; the pallidness of his skin reveals that he is, most probably, of western European descent. However, perhaps the most distinguishing feature about his is not the color of his eyes or hair, but the fact that he is quite a bit bigger than the average teenager. His weight is, well, he wasn't sure, but it had to be somewhere at or around three hundred and fifty pounds. He has a definite double chin and a slowly disappearing neck, both of which (if I may express my personal opinion) only enhance what is naturally there: they make him seem even cuter. His body is also proportionally large, and the nightshirt he's wearing now is slightly too tight for his ever-growing body. His chest is visible from under the material of the shirt, his two boobs tenting the material out a bit. As he sits, his large stomach rolls forward and rests in his lap. An inch or so of bare tummy is shown from underneath the inadequate shirt, and on his sides you can see well how pronounced his love-handles are. A lot of weight seems to take its residence here, in his middle. He is wearing shorts right now, but if he weren't, you would not be able to see anything 'obscene': his belly covers his lap to about mid-thigh, hiding some inappropriate things while he's sitting.

As he rocks himself up to go to the bathroom to wash up, the reader might sneak a glance at his wide behind. If so, they would definitely be rewarded (or castigated, depending on taste, I suppose), for as he walks, his rump shakes back and forth, swaying with his heavy waddle to the bathroom. A bit of his bum shows at the top of the shorts because they, like the shirt, are a little too tight for our Benjamin.

He walks into the bathroom, swinging the door open and waddling in, still only half awake. He throws off his shirt and starts to brush his teeth, looking at himself in the mirror. Although he wasn't really an active gainer, he still admired his own body a bit, and would not diet for cosmetic purposes at all. He preferred his body this way, and he loved to be able to eat whatever he wanted. He looked at his round stomach from the side, hefting it up with both pudgy hands and letting it drop down again, only to watch it ripple and bounce back. Barebellied, he was very smooth: perhaps a little chest hair and a trail down from his belly button, but that is nearly all. Newly formed red stretch marks on his side were appearing often lately, and even faded pink ones were starting to redden again. He had been putting on quite a bit of weight lately, and he was reasonably sure that his parents had noticed and were going to have 'the talk' with him again, but he didn't really care - he liked being big. Sure there were a few things that were a little annoying - for instance, going to the bathroom - his bottom was much too wide for the toilet seat, and often he had to sit uncomfortably or lift up his belly to make things easier - but he liked being fat.

He then slowly slipped down his shorts and maneuvered his way into the shower, At this point, for the sake of keeping this story PG-13, we shall fast forward ten minutes, as we watch Benjamin, clad in a pair of skin-tight underwear which show off his stomach, rump, and thighs very well, pull a pair of jeans out from his drawer and groan to himself at the challenge posed to him: fitting a pair of 52 jeans onto a waist that is, without a doubt, much too big to be constrained by such small clothes. He sits down and slides them on, leg by leg, laying back on his bed to get them past his thick thighs. Accomplishing this, he knows that he must now perform the impossible: get the much-strained button into the hole in which it belongs. He holds his belly back with the hand holding the hole, while using all the strength he can muster from his flabby arms to manage - eventually - this feat.

Success! He threw on a 3XL shirt which was, alas, also a little too tight, but he could deal with it: He got his books ready and rushed down the stairs as best as he can, the loud thumps from his heavy footfalls echoing throughout the house. He sat his heavy bulk down on a chair and pulled out the cereal and milk, and proceeded to make himself quite a large breakfast. Three bowls of cereal with whole milk, two bagels with cream cheese, and three doughnuts. Nearly a thousand calories in total, but our Benjamin cared naught for calories: he just loved food!

His mother walked in to see Benjamin finishing off the last of his meal, his hand pulling the shirt back to rub his bloated belly. His mother, a thin, diet-conscious woman, sighed and looked at her fat son, "You know, Benjamin, it looks like you've put on a little weight lately..."

He nodded and grabbed his backpack, umphing at the force it took to lift his heavy frame and backpack off the chair. "Oh, it's probably just summer weight, or something. I promise I'll lose it. But I gotta head to school now, seeya!"

His mother nodded as he walked out the door and onto the bus. He barely fit down the aisle, and struggled to sit into one of the small seats, taking up almost the whole seat with that round, heavy body of his. Benjamin snickered as he thought of what he told his mother, pulling out a package of Twinkies from his backpack and starting in on them.

The bus ride was long, and as they approached the final stop, there was nearly no seats left on the bus. The last kid they picked up was a young man, same as Benjamin's age, though very slim. He was, well, good looking to be sure. He had dark brown eyes, nearly black, which really grabbed your attention. His hair was light brown also, gelled forward and looking well-taken care of. He glanced around, looking for a spot, and eventually found one (or half of one) next to our Benjamin. I suppose in most romances would have our protagonist falling in love at this very moment with the new boy, but alas: he was much too engrossed in his snack to pay much attention to the good looking kid who sat down next to him. The boy was snuggled very nearly against Benjamin's soft side, as there was not much room to be had in the seat.

The boy, however, certainly noticed our Benjamin, and, after recovering from his nervousness, introduced himself. He offered his slim hand to his seatmate's pudgy one.

"Hi, I'm Justin... it's nice to meet you."

Benjamin - Part 2

(this is a dumb paragraph so skip it)Education is a flawed idea. Every aspect of education in today’s society has some major drawback. Public school often teaches children watered-down ideas to help the children pass: they are ranked on how many students pass each semester. Private school teaches children more complex ideas, but it costs a great deal of money, the students only interact with other children from their own financial background, and still many ideas are forgotten by the end of senior year. Home-schooling, in theory, has the children learning at their own particular level and it is not very expensive, but few parents have the time or knowledge to really teach their children what they need to know, and they do not interact with any group of other children on a regular basis. None of these ideas seems to work.

However, all parents must pick one based on their financial status, their child’s personality, and their own personal experiences. Benjamin’s parents had long ago decided that public school was the best choice for their son, and so our protagonist is sitting on a crowded bus without shock absorbers, speeding along to school. He has taken this ride so many times that he knows the stops by heart and pays attention to anything. Perhaps the only good thing about the ride is that it is the last few, cherished minutes before the tedium of classes begin.

As our reader may recall, we left our Benjamin sitting on a seat on the bus, with a young gentleman named Justin squeezed into the seat next to him. “Squeezed” is perhaps the most accurate term there was, for Benjamin took up quite a bit of the seat and left poor Justin with little room to spare. If circumstances were different, or if this were not a fictitious story in which the author is able to direct actions the way the author wishes them to go, perhaps it would have been uncomfortable for him. But this is not the case: Justin was very much enjoying the shaky, bump-filled trip next
to our wide friend. He had quite an affection for larger boys, of which Benjamin happened to be a stunning example.

After introducing himself to the boy next to him, Justin noticed two empty wrappers stuffed hastily into the backpack in front of Benjamin. He inwardly grinned and pointed to the wrappers, “Ah, Twinkies… I love that stuff.” Benjamin turned his head over towards Justin; a grin causing dimples to form on his round cheeks. “Yeah, me too. Perhaps a little too much, if you know what I mean.”

He laughed a little, causing his stomach to shake and wobble, nearly pushing Justin off of the seat. His shirt had ridden up a little bit and Justin tried not to admire how soft that bare skin looked, how much he would love to sink his hands into it and feel the heaviness of it push back against him. Instead he looked up at his new friend and nodded. “Nah… those things are great mean, and you know what they say – you can never have too much of a good thing.”

For the first time, Benjamin really looked at the person sitting next to him. As the fates would have it, he too happened to have an affection for other boys, and Justin really was very attractive. He was slightly on the short side, only about five foot seven. His hair was a very dark brown, combed forward and gelled slightly at the front. His eyes were a very dark brown, nearly black, but hidden slightly behind thin-rimmed black glasses. He was of Mediterranean descent, as evidenced by his flawless olive skin and slight facial hair. He was slightly on the thin side, weighing in at one hundred and twenty pounds: nearly one third of Benjamin’s weight. He was stronger than he looked and had that wiry toughness that one always underestimates. Justin was, all in all, a very attractive young man, and Benjamin found himself drawn to him.

But how on earth could this august creature ever fall for a boy? A morbidly obese boy at that?

Benjamin sighed outwardly and nodded. Being big certainly had its drawbacks…

Justin looked at him inquisitively and was about to ask what was wrong just as the bus pulled into its final destination. A mad rush forced him out the door and into school before his new friend, who exited last as always, slowly managing his way between the tight seats. The two continued the day without even passing each other in the hall. By noon, each had forgotten the other and was completely immersed in his own friends, problems, and classes.

The next morning was remarkably unremarkable, that is to say that it was precisely the same as the previous. As Benjamin boarded the bus again on his way to school, he sat down in precisely the same seat. And precisely eighteen minutes, precisely the same boy sat down next to him.

Benjamin found himself glad to see Justin again. He smiled up at him, “Hey, good to see you again.” And it was.

Justin smiled back and squished himself against the warm side of Benjamin, clasping his backpack in one hand. “Same here… how was your day?”

It would be silly and tedious to draw out their polite conversation verbatim, so with the reader’s permission, we shall merely report the results of this ride. Justin and Benjamin were well on their way to becoming friends. Their personalities were quite comparable and they got along extremely well. To borrow from a colloquisalism, they “clicked.”

Their friendship grew as time passed. School days turned into school weeks, and weeks turned into marking periods. Outside, the scenery had quickly changed from a beautiful autumn to another bare winter. Benjamin’s days dragged on and on, spiced up only by the companionship of Justin. They were nearly inseparable now. Two or three times a week one would visit the other’s house to have fun together.

In addition to the outside scenery changing, our young protagonists had evolved a bit, too. Benjamin had managed to put on twenty pounds in the four months that had passed, and had advanced a size in the jeans department. Of course, in our Justin’s eyes, this only made him more endearing. Justin had changed very little, besides adding perhaps a centimeter or two to his height. I mention this for one main reason, which shall present itself to the reader very soon.

One dreary evening in early February, when Justin happened to be over Benjamin’s house, his friend’s mother approached him and asked him to sit down. Benjamin was busy doing something, so they were alone.

His mother sighed, “Justin.. I wanted to talk to you about Benjamin.. I’m worried about him.”

Justin looked at her curiously. “Worried? About what?”

“About… his size. He’s always been big, but lately he’s been.. well, putting on a lot of weight.”

“Oh…”

Benjamin’s mother sighed again. “I don’t know what to do… he doesn’t eat healthy, and he refuses to listen to me. He keeps shrugging it off as temporary, when I’m sure he has to be near four hundred pounds by now. I don’t get it, no one in my family is big…”

“I don’t know… maybe he doesn’t mind it?”

“How could he not mind it? He has trouble fitting in seats and clothes…”

“I’m really good friends with him… and I can honestly tell you that he never has said a thing about how he doesn’t like his weight to me. Maybe those kinds of things don’t bother him. I don’t know, but I don’t think that you should really worry about it… if he wants to lose weight, I’m sure he’ll come to you.”

Justin hesitated. He didn’t quite know where the line was between being his friend’s advocate and revealing his own interests…

“Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it. He’s fine with it, and I your prodding him is obviously not doing anything. He’s not hiding from you; weight just isn’t important to him. Other people should be as content as he is, I think.”

Benjamin’s mother looked at him, absorbing what he said. “Do you really think so? I guess it never occurred to me that he could be happy at that size…”

“I think he is… I’ll talk to him though, try to see if he doesn’t like it.”

Benjamin’s mother nodded. “Thanks, Justin. You’re a good friend. But somehow I think you’re right.” She smiled very faintly. “I suppose I just don’t understand him.”

She stood up quickly, “Oh well, I have work to do. I hope you don’t mind me taking up some of your time.”

Justin shook his head, “No, of course not…”

She walked out just as Benjamin was walking, or more accurately, waddling, in. “Hey, were you two talking or something?”

Justin shrugged, “Lets go up to your room.”

Benjamin shrugged and nodded. “Sure.”

Justin followed his friend’s heavy trudge up the staircase. They both sat down on his bed, turning on the television and just idly watching it. After a few minutes, Justin looked over at his friend. “You know… your mom was talking to me about you.”

Benjamin looked at him in puzzlement, then a look of annoyance spread over his features. “She talked to you about my weight, didn’t she? I swear, she never…”

Justin interrupted him. “Don’t worry, I told her to stop bugging you. I think she’ll listen.”

He was surprised. “Oh… thanks.”

They returned to the television for a little bit, while Justin worked up the nerve to ask what he was about to. “But I mean… you don’t mind being big, do you?”

Benjamin looked over at his friend, not exactly sure what to say. No, he didn’t mind it. He liked it. More than he should. But he couldn’t say that, of course. He looked down at his stomach as he sat, how the shirt gripped it tightly as it sagged onto wide thighs. “No… I don’t mind it at all. I’d rather be big than skinny, for sure. It’s just… I don’t know. A weird thing of mine. I don’t know…. I’m weird, I know. But thanks for telling my mother not to bug me about it, she was really annoying me.”

Justin nodded slowly, subtly glancing over his friend’s large body. He really was fat, much fatter than anyone Justin had ever known. Every inch of him was soft and flabby, warm and inviting… “It’s not weird. I wouldn’t want you to be thin.”

Benjamin noticed Justin’s glance, and thoughts quickly began to fill his head. What if…? No. Don’t be silly. But still… “I wouldn’t want to be thin, either. I’m actually…” He paused for a moment, considering what he was about to say. Justin was listening intently, and he did not seem to be the least bit disturbed by the conversation – after all, he was an understanding guy. Why not? He knew Justin well enough to know that no matter what he revealed that he wouldn’t go running out of the room. “I’m actually a little proud of this size. I’ve worked a little to put on a few pounds…”

If either had had any experience with relationships before, they would have been able to feel the mutual desire in the room. It was nearly tangible. They were both facing each other the bed, sitting up in rapt attention to what the other was saying, picking it apart mentally for subtleties, -something- to indicate how the other felt. And, of course, the one talking was painfully debating whether or not to reveal something about themselves that they had kept hidden so long. On one hand, there was the possibility that he had found someone to reveal himself to, a confidant, a friends, and a lover. On the other hand, there was the possibility that the other would destroy them with a brutal betrayal of their feelings. Neither really believed the other would do the latter, but they had lived their lives with the utmost caution, and those barriers were very difficult to break.

Justin looked at him intensely, thinking about what to say next. Was Benjamin really serious? He was a gainer? He certainly looked the part, and there was no reason he would lie. Very well then, Justin decided. If he can admit to it, so can I. Justin face reddened a little as he managed, “I… I’ve noticed… I actually like bigger people… the skinnies don’t do it for me at all. I like something to hold on to.”

Benjamin couldn’t believe it… Justin really was an admirer. And, to his delight, his admission was curiously void of any indicators as to sex. Bigger people instead of bigger girls! Skinnies instead of skinny chicks! It had to be. He had to risk it. He really felt strongly for Justin, and the risks far outweighed any possible consequences at this point. He couldn’t think clearly. His mind was completely clouded by what he was feeling for Justin. If the entire house had collapsed at that point, Benjamin was sure he wouldn’t have noticed. He absolutely had to. It wasn’t a choice, it was a carnal desire that couldn’t be surpressed. “Justin… I need to tell you something…”

Justin leaned forward, looking absolutely ravenous for the news. “Yes?”

Benjamin looked at Justin’s expression and prayed to whatever god took care of these things that he wouldn’t be humiliated. “…I really like you, Justin. More than…”

Justin quickly fell forward and wrapped his arms around Benjamin, nearly weeping. “Oh god Benjamin, I really like you too. Thank you for feeling this way, thank you for having the nerve to tell me, thank you for being here.”

Benjamin closed his eyes and wrapped his heavy arms around Justin’s smaller, lithe body. “I’ve liked you since the first time I’ve saw you, Justin, and I’ve only grown to like you more. You’re everything anyone could ever want, and I completely dismissed the idea that you would like… well, me.”

Justin wiped a tear from his eye and squeezed a little harder. “I feel the same way about you, Benjamin. You caught my attention from the moment I saw you, and you’ve held it since.”

“Even with all of this weight on me?”

Justin reluctantly let go and looked at Benjamin, a very honest, very open smile on his face. His cheek was still a little wet from the tears. “Yes. I wouldn’t have you any other way. I really like you… I love you… for who you are, really. Ever since I’ve got to know you better, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute we’ve spent together. But I must admit, your weight excites me. In my opinion, it makes you even cuter, and certainly… beyond desirable.”

He laughed at himself, blushing a little. “I feel so strange… letting these emotions go so quickly, after holding them back for months.”

Benjamin was awfully red by now, knowing that Justin was… exactly the right person for him. “I know, so do I. I’m so happy to hear you say that, Justin. You honestly don’t know…”

“I do,” he replied. “I do –so- much.”

There was much to talk about, but they mutually decided that words could only lessen the moment. They returned to the same television in the same room as before, but things were so different than they had been an hour ago – so much better. Justin and Benjamin watched the program, one snuggled up against the other, cuddled close, reveling in the togetherness that they denied themselves for so long.

Aww. So far, this is such a nice story. I wish I could have had made a friend like this in middle school or high school. The continuation, if there will be one, will be really cute I bet :D

I really like the story so far. I hope that there is at least one more part because there are a few things that need to be concluded. I enjoyed reading it very much because there were a few issues in this introduction piece. I hope that your posting of this means that you are laboring over a new section, but if not, that allows us the oppurtunity to guess the results.
