September was a week away and Diego was anxious to leave Hayden behind and return to university. His campus was in an adjacent town from where Hayden lived, and while it wasn’t too long of a drive the distance would surely be felt. They spent their last night together at Hayden’s place before Diego had to leave for class.
“Morning Babe!” Hayden told Diego as he brought him a big breakfast in bed. I figured this would be enough to hold you over on your drive to campus.
“Thanks” Diego smiled as he went up to kiss Hayden. “It’s going to be tough being away from you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll try to make it up for it as much as I can... I’ll prepare lots of treats so you’re reminded of me all day long.”
Diego arrived to the campus apartments with his heart aching and his stomach already growling. “Apartment 426, not too bad,” Diego thought. It was on the top floor right on the corner, which had an amazing view of the campus. It was an added bonus that just down the street was the famous pizza place the college was known for. His roommate had to back out at the last minute so for the time being he had the whole place to himself, which was quite the privilege.
His first week of senior year was off to a positive start. Diego was loving his classes, but the constant supply of goodies from Hayden, replete with love notes, left him missing his boo. Upon entering his place one day, he noticed the bedroom door was closed. This was unusual so Diego cautiously entered the room, unsure what he would find. To his great pleasure, Hayden was sprawled on his bed, looking plumper than ever. The baker had dozed off on his side, causing his belly to pour out of his shirt in a pool of flab in front of him. Hayden’s eyes lazily opened and then dilated at the sight of a much curvier Diego standing in the doorway.
“Oh babe! I’ve missed you so much!” Diego said as he ran into Hayden’s arms.
Hayden planted a giant kiss on his lips and squeezed his boyfriend as tight as possible. They spent the rest of the night cuddling on the couch, inhaling a delicious dark chocolate cheesecake Hayden prepared and watching shows before heading into the bedroom. One week without sex had left the boys ravenously horny and they fucked like jackrabbits, leaving both of them exhausted from all the physical activity.
The next morning, Diego woke early so he could surprise Hayden with a home cooked breakfast of cinnamon french toast, eggs, and blackberry milkshakes. Following breakfast, Diego showed Hayden the campus and all his hang out spots. Hayden was interested, but more interested in the fact that Diego’s shorts from last summer were straining to contain his rounded out booty. Hayden was happy that his lover was eating his treats and wondered if they had kicked his appetite into overdrive. After an extensive tour both men were sweating profusely and Hayden noticed a sweat stain forming at the base of Diego’s back as well as his asscrack. Hayden slipped a finger down Diego’s wet ass and gave it a firm jiggle, then suggested they stop at the famous pizza place Diego had been raving about.
“This is the best pizza ever, I’m not lying to you.” Diego said to Hayden as they walked in.
“Well, what do you suggest I get then?” Hayden asked coyly, enjoying Diego’s enthusiasm.
“I’d definitely get the deep dish chicago style pizza. It’s so filling, you get what you pay for.”
Diego was always found himself surprised at how much Hayden could eat. But then again he was the bigger than the former life guard, so it made sense. The boys had ordered a large pizza and Hayden confidently downed half. Diego wasn’t quite as ambitious, and offered the remaining two slices of his half to Hayden, who clearly was still hungry. Hayden refused and suggested Diego polish them off later that night before bed. The boys arrived home and found themselves already hungry again.
“I thought you said that place was filling!” Hayden joked.
They decided to split the last two slices and pick up a couple tubs of ice cream from the corner store. Because of the heat, they spent the evening completely naked eating ice cream on the couch. Hayden was surprised to see just how much Diego had really gained. Diego now had a healthy inch of fatpad bulging above his crotch, and his belly extended a couple inches further than that. The whole night Diego kept scratching his underbelly and Hayden wondered if stretch marks were setting in. The two ended up having slow, sloppy, sweaty sex on the couch. Even though they were barely moving, beads of sweat were dripping from their brows. They fell asleep in the living room, surrounded by ice cream tubs and candy wrappers.
“It sucks you have to leave!” Diego said the next day as he was hugging Hayden.
“I know, but don't worry I’ll come to visit again soon. Plus, you’ll have plenty of goodies to come in the mail this week.”
Multiple times each week of September, Diego would receive a few boxes of goodies from Hayden. As always, each one better tasting then the last. Hayden would come to visit every other weekend and the boys would feast on pizza and other college delicacies. Hayden was growing tired of the cheap food, but there was nothing else available in the little college town. He also noticed that these weekends were taking a toll on his waistline. He was older and had a slower metabolism than his boyfriend, and all that pizza was causing his jeans to strain.
Diego was a different story. Even though he would always finish Hayden’s goodies lickety split, he didn’t really gain much weight. A lot of his classes were on the other side of campus and he all the walking kept him from completely ballooning, though he had put on a few pounds in the right places, namely his ass. All the walking meant he had time to text and catch up with Hayden almost daily. He’d often facetime Hayden as he was baking his next big creations.
Half way through October, Diego was receiving less goodies in the mail. He was so busy with classes he barely noticed. Hayden had noticed they were chatting on the phone less, but tried to accept that his lover was simply busy with school. By November, Diego was becoming extremely stressed with finals and getting everything in order. He was getting close to graduating and he knew he had to have a perfect record and take any opportunity that landed in his lap. He wished he had more time to talk with Hayden, but it wasn’t always feasible. A few times he had to cancel plans with Hayden to come up and visit because he needed to study, and this left both of them distraught and finding comfort in food.
Diego was eating at the school cafeteria all the time now because it was the only place that was close to all of his classes. He would always find himself starving as he returned home late at night, so he’d stop at the pizza place where they knew his order by heart: a medium deep dish pizza, breadsticks, wings, and a large Coke to go.
Sadly, Diego had to spend Thanksgiving at the college. His car broke down and there was no way he was going to be able to spend time with family considering all the coursework he had to complete. He was able to facetime everyone and talk to Hayden on the phone for hours, which provided some relief. He was surprised to see that Hayden had grown a beard since he saw him last. Had it really been that long? The college put on a Thanksgiving buffet for students who spent that weekend on campus, and, needless to say, Diego took full advantage. He piled heaping amounts of food onto his plate and kept going back for more. He wasn’t the only one either, it appeared all the students were eating their feelings over the holidays. Diego brought an inordinate amount of leftovers home, even sneaking a full plate of dinner rolls into his backpack. As he studied relentlessly he kept a constant stream of food to his mouth.
Naturally, all this extra eating had a dramatic effect on his waistline. He put on about 15 pounds since the start of the semester. This was a dramatic change for him, especially after a gluttonous summer. Up until this point, Diego had only put on twenty pounds since freshman year, and it was all muscle. Suddenly, he noticed a pot belly sticking out in front of him, bumping into books on his desk, and digging into his belt buckle.
Despite his newfound belly, the weight gathered most predominantly on his lower half. His favorite jeans were a thing of the past, as he wore joggers nearly every day now. Other people were beginning to notice too. One evening after class, Diego’s friend made a comment that he’d never seen Diego with a beer belly and that it was “late in the game” to put on the freshman fifteen. He even gave Diego a little pat on the gut, telling him he should cut back on the pizza and beer. Diego realized the fact he was becoming huskier, but didn’t have time to worry about his weight with finals and GPA to worry about.
Indeed, all that studying Diego did was worth it. He finished the semester with straight A’s and an extra 10 pounds straight to the gut. He celebrated at a kegger with friends, before packing up and heading back to see Hayden for the first time in a month and a half.
