"You're so hot," you tell Nate, "but you've got to stop squealing, or we'll be trapped here."
Nate nods. He's got little soft round rolls of fat under his chin now - so cute! You give him one more squeeze, pressing your whole body into his soft flab, and then step back. He looks like he's about 200 pounds now.
"Here come some SQUEE -" Nate catches himself and puts a hand over his mouth. His belly gurgles and gets ever so slightly bigger, sagging even further over the waist of the speedo. Make that 205 pounds now.
"Here come some people," you say for him. He nods. You gathered up your balloons and give half of them to Nate.
Two guys walk by. They must have just arrived, because they're wearing normal street clothes - jeans, sneakers, t-shirts. As they pass, you call out, "balloons for you guys?"
They turn and look with interest. "Yeah, sure," says one of them. He checks out your selection, while his friend looks ate Nate's. Nate looks a little silly, a fat young guy standing around in a speedo offering balloons...but then again, you've got big balloony monkey ears and feet. You must both look a little absurd.
"What's with the ears?" your customer asks, pointing.
"Oh, um...a costume," you mutter. The guy unexpectedly reaches out and touches your ears - you can feel him rubbing them, and hear the squeaking.
"Neat," he says. "I'll take that one." He points at a cow balloon, and you hold it out to him. The string looks around his wrist, tying a know. "Thanks," he says, and turns to his friend.
His friend has stopped checking out the balloons and is now checking out Nate. Nate always liked attention from boys, but his new fat makes him feel a little nervous - he's trying to cover up his jiggly, bulging belly with one hand, which is only emphasizing how soft and big it is.
"It's really awesome that you're proud to dress sexy," says the other customer. Nate smiles nervously, afraid to try to talk. "I'm a little heavy myself," the customer goes on, lifting his baggy t-shirt - sure enough, his rumpled shirt and jeans were concealing a soft, round body that's not quite as big as Nate but still pretty pudgy. The waist of his jeans press into his fleshy belly, pushing it over the waistband slightly.
"So, which balloon do you think I should get?" he asks Nate.
