Mr. Yuan scratched his chin, thinking, and finally spoke up. "I may have something..." he said, wandering off, leaving Guy in the shop, fattening with each second, and his hunger growing. After a few tense moments, the small shop owner walked out from the back room carrying a drink. He handed it to Guy and simply said "Quickly, drink this, young man."
Guy grabbed the bottle in his chubby hand and downed the contents without taking a single gulp. Instantly, it felt like he had been punched in the stomach. He doubled over, grabbing his substantial belly, just to have it slip away from him. He chuckled to himself, seeing the fat just fade away as his body shrank back toward it's old size. Soon, Guy was holding his now far-too-large underwear up. They'd been stretched substantially by his fat body. He looked down, seeing a small belly still sitting there... but it wasn't shrinking. He waited and waited, but the little belly stayed. Standing back up, he looked down at how his body now remained.
A soft beginner belly, slight love handles, his pecs and arms were still large and muscular, but with much less definition. Looking back over his shoulder, he saw a slightly larger butt, and his legs no longer had the striations they once had. He looked like a bodybuilder did in the offseason... "Hey... why did I stop shrinking? There's still like 30 pounds here to ditch..." He whined, putting one hand on the belly.
Mr. Yuan made a grumbling noise. "I'm sorry, Guy, but that's all I can get off. You'll have to work off the rest of that stuff yourself." Guy sighed, a bit annoyed. "Well, it's not all that much weight... I bet I can work it off in no time." He patted the gut, just as it grumbled loudly again.
Mr. Yuan scratched his beard "That brings me to our next point... I can't get rid of your hunger... it will be less frequent now, maybe 4 times a day, but it won't make you fat instantly like it had been before." Guy looked over at the little man, who looked very nervous "You...you mean that I'll just gain the weight I would from eating like that, over time?" Mr. Yuan cleared his throat "Not exactly... it will only take about half the food it normally would to gain a pound for you... but it will be much harder to shed those pounds naturally... it might take three or 4 times as much work to lose a pound." Guy turned pale white and stammered a bit "y..you mean... I'm going to get fatter easier... b..but have a difficult time losing any of it?"
Mr. Yuan nodded.
Guy felt his heart drop a bit... well... no use freaking out now... he'd just have to step up his exercise much more, or else that 350 lb body he gave a test spin today might be back soon... Just then, Mr. Yuan spoke up "Keep in mind, I mixed that drink in a few moments... give me time to mix one specially for this situation. I will fix this little blunder, I promise." Guy sighed a bit in relief and nodded, then, a clattering noise came from behind him. Looking back through the smokey veil, he saw a muscular man, slightly bigger than him coming forward. In a few minutes, Guy recognized him.
"C...Cray?" Guy gulped.
Cray was a 6'0", 240 pounds of solid beef. He had dark, somewhat messy hair, and the greenest eyes Guy could remember in a face any man would die for. He went to the gym that Guy went to, and had a body that Guy not only wanted for himself, but wanted to explore in some... personal sessions. Cray grinned a slightly crooked grin.
"I thought I heard you in here, Guy." He looked over the formerly ripped bodybuilder. "Looks like you've been putting on some weight. Here to get a cream to help with your metabolism?"
Guy blinked, trying to think of something to say, eventually just slurring out a "Yes, exactly! I got a bit chubby the past few weeks... nothing I can't take care of though..." Cray gave the tiny belly a poke "Don't worry about buying a cream or anything here, I can help you with that baby belly. We'll have you ripped again in no time. If you want, we can go back to my place to work out, so you don't get the jerks at the gym staring you down."
How could Guy resist that offer? He smirked "Sure, I'd like that... I just need to get my clothes, okay?" Cray nodded silently and cleared the way with a smile. Guy and Mr. Yuan headed into the room for some clothing.
Cray spotted a jar on the shelf and grinned wide with a chuckle, taking it to the front desk to buy it... this goop could make for a fun session...
After a few moments, Guy walked out of the back room in a traditional Chinese shirt and a pair of too short pants. "Allright, I'm ready when you are, Cray. Should we go?"
Cray nodded again and the two walked out of the shop, waving goodbye to Mr. Yuan
