"How does it taste?"
Minato swallowed. He didn't say anything, but the look on his face did a thorough review of Fuuka's culinary skills when it came to cookies.
"It's not even a little better?" Fuuka sighed, dejectedly lowering her chin into her hands, looking out into the sight of the city Gekkoukan High's roof provided her with.
It had become a little designated spot for them to taste test Fuuka's cooking every day after school, and with the gorgeous view it gave of the city, plus some nice pots for atmosphere and benches for comfort, it was easy to see why they picked such a beautiful place to eat such disgusting food. They hadn't been keeping count of how long they had been doing this, but they knew it was too long.
"Maybe you need some inspiration." Minato threw out there as a half-assed suggestion.
"I tried that. I tried having bunch of different food and nothing came to me... Nothing that made it taste any better anyways."
"What type of food?"
"Oh, you know, rice, spaghetti, risotto, sweets, stuff like what I usually make."
"You should try looking for inspiration outside of that."
She perked up at that, raising her head to his. "That could work, what do you have in mind?"
"Just the kind of stuff I like, like Wild Duck Burger."
"Oh, um..." And just like that, the hope she was given had flickered out. "I don't think that's what I'm looking for."
"Couldn't hurt to give it a try." It took all of Minato's willpower to not follow that up with "Not as much as it hurts to eat your cooking anyways."
"That's true. I'm still not sure about this, but I'll give it a try."

*SLAM*
One of the double doors to Wild Duck Burger flew open from the unsteady hand of one it's customers, the other followed suit from another customer. The first customer was a tremendously bloated Fuuka, sporting a beachball-sized gut that clashed so badly with her gentle and shy nature, not to mention her rather petite stature, it was downright comical. With the buttons of her school uniform's skirt blown off, it was hanging out there for all to see this testament to Fuuka's gluttonous glory, the sweater she wore underneath her uniform not able to cover a single inch of it.
"BUUUUUURRRRRRP! Minato... I am FULL of inspiration... UUURRRRRRRRP!"
The second customer was an equally stuffed Minato, who belched alongside her. He did not seem to care one bit that his belt was busted and all his buttons (on his shirt and pants) were popped off by the giant stuffed belly he was sporting. Nor did he seem to care that his and Fuuka's underwear was visible.

"Everyone, may I have your attention?" Mitsuru didn't have to ask, her elegant voice assured she had the attention of the others in her dorm. Nonetheless, politeness compelled her to ask, and that mentality was part of why her voice carried the aura that it did.
"What's up, Mitsuru?" Junpei's voice, on the other hand... was not like Mitsuru's. "We heading to Tartarus tonight?"
"No, nothing of the sort. It's much more mundane, but I hope you'll find it just as exciting."
"Then what is it? C'mon, don't leave me hanging! The suspense is killing me!"
"You'll find out if you let her speak, Junpei." An annoyed Yukari pointed out.
"I was just about to!"
"Yamagishi will be cooking dinner for us tonight." Mitsuru's answer wasn't quite what Junpei was hoping for.
"Suddenly, I feel like the suspense isn't what's gonna kill me."
"Junpei!" Yukari scolded, and she didn't need to speak to do that, just the icy glare she shot at him did a good job at that.
"Aw c'mon, you're not seriously gonna eat her cooking, are ya?!"
"I get she's..." The brunette wished she didn't hesitate to finish her defense. "Not the best, but you don't have to be a jerk over it!"
"Besides, her cooking's not that bad, is it?" Akihiko added, and instead of the conversation continuing, it came to a sudden halt. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Yamagishi feels confident she's improved." Mitsuru's answer explained why she was cooking for them now, and much more subtly explained the earlier silence. "I'm sure she's capable of cooking decent food now."
"Okay, but you owe us all a trip to Hagakure if she isn't." Junpei said that, and yet when the food was actually placed on the dining table, what he said was "Wow, this looks great!"
Conversely, Mitsuru was eyeing it with far more suspicion then she expected to. "I-I'm afraid I'm not familiar with these dishes."
"That's because they're all a custom recipe." Fuuka proudly said, first time anyone had seen her happy to discuss the details of her cooking.
"This looks like fast food." What was sitting in front of Akihiko was some kind of hamburger, it looked like a hamburger in shape, but the colors and texture looked different then normal.
"I know, isn't it great?" Junpei said, very happy to miss the point.
"It's is a hamburger, but I made it with high class ingredients. The meat is actually a part of steak I cut out, and the buns I cut from a baguette." She looked towards Mitsuru to continue her explanation. "I cut open a croissant and filled it with pieces of steak to make your hot dog, Mitsuru. I added lettuce and some condiments too." Then to Junpei and Yukari, who were having the same thing. "And I made the pizza by taking all the bread I could find, cutting it down to the size of regular pizza, and then filling it with cheese and sauce.
"Were you two so full last night from this cooking?" Yukari changed the topic as soon as she noticed the extra weight Minato had packed on. He had been standing next to Fuuka this entire time, not saying a word, or feeling any shame about his new belly.
"No, we got a little carried away looking for inspiration." Was his vague explanation.
"With how the food came out, I'd say it's a good thing we got carried away." Fuuka turned to face her blue-haired friend, giving Yukari a side profile of her new tummy and informing her that she had put on as much weight as Minato.
Fuuka's middle had a fair amount of pudge to it, it was a small, soft mound of adipose that had started bulging out from her torso. It was notable even when she had an apron on as she cooked dinner for tonight, and would feel some of her lap being filled by it when she sat down. The hem of her school uniform's skirt was being strained by her tummy and couldn't do anything to make it look smaller. Her chest had gotten a bit more plump, with her bra becoming proportionality tighter. Her bra wasn't the only piece of clothing that got tighter, her skirt had as well because of her bigger ass. Her cheeks had rounded out to a respectable size that she felt whenever she put her school's uniform on, it filled out most chairs more then any slim person's behind could. Her legs had become similarly more flabby, her thighs now almost rubbed together. Already bearing a full face before her first trip to Wild Duck Burger, all the fast food she ate filled out Fuuka's cheeks, almost looking like she had some in her mouth right now. It was a change that suited her, made her look even sweeter.
Minato's middle had became a round ball of fat, bigger then Fuuka's by an inch or two. The buttons on his shirt were strained, with visible gaps, they hadn't become diamond-shaped yet, but they were on their way. His belt was under a similar strain, a minor muffin top had formed, with his belly fat bulging off the top of his belt. It wasn't too noticeable yet, but he had begun developing man boobs, thus far they were small, soft mounds on his chest. The bluenette's butt had become puffier, while it wasn't as big as Fuuka's, it was bigger then Yukari and Mitsuru's, something the former had mixed feelings about. The same went for his thicker legs, which were now just a tad wider then that of any slim girl at his school. With that cold, stoic look he almost always had on his face, Minato wasn't the most approachable of guys. And while no one would say it was beaming with warmth now, the fuller cheeks his face had gained did help to make Minato look more inviting.
"Well, dig in everyone!" Fuuka said with no small amount of excitement, but if asked, she wouldn't deny that she did feel some anxiety as her friends started eating. Sure, Minato had told her it was delicious, and she loved hearing that, but he was still just one person, what if the others didn't share his taste?
"Wow, this is really good!" Yukari immediately took another bite, the others doing the same, their cook sighing in relief.
"You've done a fine job, Yamagishi." Mitusru took another bite and finished it as fast as she could so she could make a request. "In fact, I'd like seconds."
"You haven't even finished your first serving." Akihiko said with a bit of a chuckle.
"And I'll have my second serving as soon as I finish my first."
"I'll have seconds too!" Yukari piped up.
"Me too!" Junpei also piped up, but much less gracefully, as he did not see any reason to finish chewing before speaking.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting you all to like it this much!" Fuuka's face was beaming with joy, wearing the biggest smile any of them had seen on her yet. "Don't worry, I was having so much fun cooking that I prepared a lot of extra dishes."
