Cody grabbed his cleats and dashed downstairs to meet Kyle at the front door. Kyle was Cody's best friend and teammate on their school's soccer team. He was the same height and age as Cody and just as physically fit with heavily tanned skin but Kyle sported shaggy dark blond hair that often fell in front of his bright blue eyes.
“You, uh, ready to go practice a bit?” Kyle asked, holding up a soccer ball on his left hand. His eyes briefly glanced towards Max.
“Sure am!” Cody replied, and the two walked off towards the soccer field down the road.
“Be back by dinner! Mom is making tacos tonight” Max yelled before shutting the front down.
There was a brief moment of silence before Kyle blurted out: “Jesus, was that Max? What have you been feeding him?!?”
Cody gave a nervous chuckle. “Don't blame me! He went on a summer vacation with some family back east and came home fat!”
“Huh, so you got some hippos in your family then?” Kyle joked. His best friend gave him a nudge on his shoulder. “No, seriously, Max. I barely recognized him! He's so pudgy now!”
“Yeah, I know. He barely fits into his clothes anymore so his belly is flopping out all the time and his pants don't go all the way up his butt anymore so he has that plumber’s crack thing going on all the time.”
Kyle smirked. “Soon he'll be big enough to fill a hallway, huh?”
Cody shot a look at his friend. “S-shut up!”
“Then all the kids at school will feed him junk until he's already to burst an-”
“Dude! Shut up!” barked Cody, looking around to see if anyone else was around. “I told you that dream in private! A secret!”
“And you're still having it? Most nights still? It's been years, man!” Kyle asked.
“Every night now,” Cody mumbled.
The topic of Max's weight didn't come up again until the two kicked around the ball for a couple of hours. Sweaty and tired, they sat on a bench off to the side of the soccer field after getting a drink at a nearby drinking fountain.
“You've been having that dream since kindergarten. Do you still like it, getting really fat?” Kyle asked once he caught his breath.
“Y-yeah…I do. It's so exciting getting all big and huge and soft and heavy,” Cody admitted. “If I had one wish, I would wish th-”
“...that you'd gain three thousand pounds. Cody, you told me this before!” Kyle teased. His friend just blushed. “So, uh, Max then. He's getting fat. Do you, uh…want to see him bigger?”
“I…kinda do. Maybe seeing him turn into a blimp would get this monkey off my back. He can be the enormous one so I won't have all these dreams about becoming a blob.”
“I was just thinking that. Or you can start chugging milkshakes until you're a million pounds or something!”
Cody laughed. “Maybe one day…”
“But Max…”
“Max’ll get fat. Fatter…MUCH fatter…” Cody said with a smile and a look of determination on his face.
Kyle laughed and gave Cody a pat on his thigh. “I knew the moment I saw Max with a belly that if you didn't have something to do with it before, you'll definitely have something to do with it after!” Cody just rolled his eyes. “Any idea on how you're gonna get Max all big and fat?”
