As he spoke, the counter person spoke up. "Hey boys, what'll you have?" asked the dark-haired, goateed, guy. His round face and fat neck led down to a broad chest and even broader gut that filled the golf shirt of his uniform nearly to the breaking point. Mark mentally figured that the guy had to weigh at least 300 pounds. Strangely, seeing another guy his own age so big just made him feel hungier.
While Mark is doing his mental calculations on the counter guy, Luke speaks up. "I'm having a combo number two and two extra doubles," he says in a positive tone.
"Do ya want to supersize that?" asked the server.
"Sure," Luke replied. "And maybe I'll get a sundae later too!"
"Sounds good," replies the fat guy, smacking his lips. "And you?" he asks Mark.
"Same for me," replies Mark. "Must be hungry."
"Hungry is good!" replies the server, who turns to get the drinks.
"Man, I thought I had eaten enough at breakfast to last me the whole day," Luke commented, "but now I'm hungry again. I guess I had it in the back of my mind all year that I shouldn't eat 'til I'm full to keep my body and stop from going back to chubby! But now that we don't have to worry about that for a while, I feel like I can eat loads and not feel bad after and have to hit the gym!!"
"Me too," replied Mark, as the server puts the drinks on their trays. "It's gonna be great to just eat for a while."
The server brings the burgers for them, then asks, "Say, you two hungry? We got a couple of chicken burgers sitting here that somebody in the drive through cancelled out on, and I have to either give 'em away or throw them out. I'd eat them myself but I'm waiting for my new uniform to come in, this one's gotten a little tight. You two sound like two hungry boys who could put them away easy."
"Sure!" reply Mark and Luke together.
The two boys ample over to a table and fall to their fast-food feasts greedily. Soon, the burgers and fries are safely esconced in their still-flat-for-now midriffs, and the two young studs amble back to the counter for a sundae. Bored, with an empty restaurant, the counter guy gives them each a large sundae, when they'd only ordered a regular. Soon, temporarily sated, they head off to finish their day's tasks.
About five o'clock Luke lets himself into the apartment, to find Mark setting out food on the counter and table. Luke, feeling peckish, grabs a big bag of Doritos and takes a handful, opening a tub of dip and dipping the whole lot at once.
"Take it easy," says Mark, "We have all summer!"
"Yeah, whatever, just getting something to start on!"
"OK dude, but wait for me!"
Mark brings over two massive tubs of ice-cream and two big spoons. The boys dig in and consume all of that snack in 20 minutes.
"Nice appetizer!" says Luke, putting down the empty tub and grabbing the last Doritos. "But I need something more beefy! Did you get any pizza, Mark? Put a few of those in the oven, and pass me a couple of submarines in the meantime."
Mark passes Luke the subs, and says, "Hey, I got frozen lasagna too, it's in the oven, should be done about now. Want it before the pies?"
"Sure!" replies Luke, his mouth begins watering at the thought. The two guzzle a two-liter each while wolfing down the big pan of lasagna.
...PING...
The oven time went off...the pizzas were cooked and despite their feed already, the smell was making both boys' mouths water! Mark pulls the pizzas out and the two share the four pizzas, having some of each kind.
When both of them had finished, Mark a few minutes after Luke, Luke went over to the counter and opened up a package of snack cakes tossed them to Mark. Taking another package for himself, he pulled more pop out of the fridge, cola for Mark and root beer for himself.
"Hey, I bet you can't burp louder than me!" said one, after a particularly large swig of pop....and so the talking went on in true 'lad' fashion! Eventually they agreed that Luke had the loudest burp.
"But that's 'cause you're a fatty!" says Mark.
"What did you call me?" replies Luke, feeling full and belligerent.
"A Fatty!" shoots back Mark. "Let's face it - you have a great body now, but you still think you can outeat me and you used to be fat - you'll have a harder time keeping slim than me!"
"Yeah, yeah,of course, you can eat and eat and not gain! I though we were going to relax and not worry about 'weight' for a while."
"Well in fact," says Mark, feeling a bit silly from all the food, "I was looking forward to watching you put on a few pounds."
"Oh yeah?" retorted Luke. "Well that's easy. Hey, I'd like to see you put on a few too - cover that perfect body with a little manly meat. You think I'm a fatty? Well, hell yeah, I guess I am, under all this crap. Here, we'll bet. I bet that I can gain more weight that you in one month!!"
"You're on!" replies Mark, a light in his eyes. "There's cheesecake in the fridge - just watch me!"
"Hey, one of those for me too!" says Luke, clambering to his feet. He nearly snatches the box out of Mark's hands in his eagerness to get started on the bet...
