“Why can't the Farmer sleep in anymore?”
It's been a few weeks now since the Farmer and Alex got married. The farmer did his thing, tending to the farm and making deliveries into town. Alex was used to this routine and he did his reps before heading into town himself. Life was simple for the two on the farm and Alex did help out on some days just so he could have an excuse to break or lift any of the giant veggies that grew. One morning Alex was out of bed and making breakfast for the two, but Farmer hadn’t gotten out of bed yet. He didn’t mind that he wanted to sleep in a little longer… but he was still asleep in bed when the plates were placed, a protein-rich breakfast made with some of the goods from the farm and some meat from the shop. He left the food on the table to go wake up his husband from bed.
“Come on, breakfast is ready and morning is not going to wait for you to get started.”
“I know you wanted to sleep in. I figure since you didn’t get out of bed. But you still need to eat.”
The Farmer still didn’t get out of bed after being shaken multiple times and hugged Alex’s pillow saying that he was too comfortable to get out of bed. Alex eventually left him in bed since he wasn’t budging. Alex’s stomach was softly growling and left to eat breakfast. He ate his breakfast along with Farmer’s share as well. Feeling full, but his stomach still felt like he could eat a little more. He came back into their room to change into his workout shorts and shoes. He was about to head to the door, but looked back at the Farmer while rubbing his abs. Walking over to his still sleeping husband and pulling the covers over himself so he could see Farmer’s sleeping face. His stomach growled again and his mouth began to water…
Minutes or so later after a lot of eating-related sounds were heard under those sheets, Alex walked out of the house. A little bit of sweat on his head and bits of drool hung on his neck. His usual abs are now replaced with a bloated gut that sways and gurgles as he takes in the fresh air. He placed a hand on the top of his grown gut, rubbing it with a smile.
“Sorry babe, but if you want to sleep in then you’re going to sleep in my gut. Besides, you’ll be like a body weight for me.”
Soon he did a few reps, some squats, and arm reps on the porch, and their farm pet looked at the odd scene. Got a sweat going then off he went to do some jogging around the ranch and up towards the mountains… His gut swayed back and forth, sweat flinging off his gut with each sway. Alex ran towards the mountains and ran into Sebastian, he was confused by the bloated gut that Alex was supporting, as he was relaxing under a tree by the pond.
“Hey man, how are you doing?”
“Fine, but what is the Farmer feeding you on that farm? It looks like you ate a whole pig.”
“No man. Not like the Farmer would let me eat any of the pigs on the ranch. But the farmer sure tastes better than any bacon.”
His stomach squirmed and bulged here and there. Sebastian was a little stunned to see and understand that Alex ate the farmer.
“Are you sure he will be ok there?”
“I’m sure he will be ok. I say hydrated and I’m not doing any abs crunches.”
Alex gets punched somewhere in the kidney or liver. Groaning a little, but rubbing his gut.
“Hey, at least you’re making a pretty good running partner.”
Alex laughs off the little pain and soon walks off. Sebastian left for his shaded spot and was still at odds with Alex's idea of including the Farmer in his workout routine.
“Hey, Farmer. You make a pretty good weight, too! Maybe we should make this a regular thing.”
He received another gut inside punch then laughed off the pain as he returned to his jog, heading towards town.
Alex didn’t do much in town. Stop by the local store for a protein bar and do a few laps around the town. He still got a few more stars from the locals in town. He was soon on his way back to the farm. Slowing down to a walk as he patted his gut. Sweat still ran along his body on this sunny day. The sun had risen above the mountains. The Farmer had settled or grown tired a while back. A muffled voice tried to speak through, but it remained hard to make out.
“Relax, it wasn't that bad. Besides, you were a good partner.”
“...” Agreed though they were a little annoyed.
“See? Told ya. We’d make great running partners, Farmer!”
Alex gave a hearty laugh, bouncing his gut and making the Farmer bounce about, patting his gut some more before another gut punch on his liver made Alex stop. He felt his abs flexing on their own probably from that punch. Alex ran back inside the house, into the bathroom, and soon the Farmer came spilling out of Alex. Alex slumped over the bathtub while his abs flexed weakly. He received a head run from the Farmer then noticed the damage his stomach acid had done to their clothing. Holes everywhere and dripping with the remains of stomach acid and bits of his breakfast. Soon Farmer took a shower to clean up while Alex rested on the bed, rubbing his sore abs, feeling empty and growling underneath his hand… Farmer lay over Alex in just a towel around his waist. Planted a kiss on his cheek as the two cuddled.
“So, does this mean you can forgive me?”
“...” Node yes, but want to get some sort of payback.
“Ok, I’ll help you with the farm work since I made you miss most of the morning.”
Still, they cuddle and enjoy the tender moment for a while.
