After a few minutes Jason sees Travis approach, and notes that his good friend once again seems to have new clothes. Travis always seems to be sporting new threads on his well-muscled average sized frame. Jason, naturally big and beefy, his clothes usually rumpled because of it, had always admired how Travis’ clothes seemed to hang perfectly on his body, no matter what he wore. Despite their physical differences though, Travis and Jason had a lot in common - not the least of which was a love of food. Travis, though, never ate quite as much as Jason, and his high metabolism burnt off enough calories to keep him trim.
“Looking good as always,” Jason says to Travis.
“While you, my good friend, are looking fatter than ever!” replies Travis with a note of approval in his voice that surprised Jason. “Frat life obviously agrees with you - but you need new pants!”
“Yeah, I guess I do,” replied Travis, looking down sheepishly to where his gut spilled out over his jeans.
“You want a hand with that?” says Travis. “I know a little bit about buying clothes...”
“Yeah, but for fat guys?” replies Jason.
“Clothes is clothes,” Travis replied. “It’s a matter of buying clothes that suit you - that look good on you, and project the image you have in mind for yourself. I buy my clothes to make me look like a movie star...” Travis grinned broadly, making his statement a joke. “Now, the question is, do you want to buy clothes to hide your increase in size, or to show it off?”
“What?” replies Jason, slightly shocked. He figured he knew Travis pretty well, but his friend had never talked about the difference in their shapes so directly before.
“Hey, we’re good friends, I can be blunt,” replies Travis. “It’s obvious you’re eating more than ever before - you’ve gained, what, ten pounds, 15 pounds since the last time I saw you? Anyway, it looks good on you, except for the pants thing, and I expect you want to gain some more - freshman 15, maybe more? Oh, don’t deny it, I know you too well, you’ve always had a ‘good’ appetite,” Travis continued, “We used to eat together all the time, don’t forget - those there was always a movie or something as an excuse. But now that you’re obviously gaining weight...Or are you going to try to tell me you want to lose all this extra pork?”
“Not exactly,” says Jason, and Travis cuts him off before he can say more.
“So you do want to get bigger. Great! Let’s go get you some bigger threads and then we should go eat - see how much you can pack away these days. There aren’t any good movies on now anyway.”
“Sounds good!” says Jason, suddenly enthusiastic. He gets up off the frat house porch and the old wooden floor groans.
“Well, listen to that, you’ve gotten so heavy you make the floor groan!” remarks Travis with a grin. He ducks to avoid Jason’s friendly jab. “C’mon, ‘fat guy’, let’s get you some new jeans!”
The two friends walk...
