Indonesian Beauty / Austrian Psycho

It was possibly the most horrendous noise Reine had ever heard. What was going on?  Kiara had paid a fortune for them to stay at this resort and it showed. The scenery was breathtaking. A cool breeze blew through Reine's hair as she observed the crystal blue waves washing over the serene, sandy beach. The most impressive part however was the room itself. This wasn't just some hotel. Kiara and Reine had their own private mini-house situated right out on the ocean itself, you could walk out the front door and jump right in the water. Reine had never even seen a place so fancy let alone gotten to stay in one. Yet it was already being ruined in the first moments of her walk down the boards by this sound and, to make matters worse, it was only getting louder as she made her way to their private house. As she continued her approach the noise became slightly more coherent, a sort of rhythm forming amid the cacophony. The beat itself would almost be pleasant if it wasn't being constantly interrupted by a grating voice. She couldn't make out what the voice was saying, singing? but it only got worse when it was occasionally being echoed by a high-pitched screeching. Horror began to fill Reine's heart as she got closer, the noise was coming from her house.

This couldn't be right, she must have gotten the wrong house number. Reine took out her phone and messaged Kiara saying she was at the house but she must have gotten the information wrong. Kiara would tell her the right house and then take care of these hoodlums. Reine didn't want any trouble but she knew Kiara wasn't afraid to get in somebody's face if she had to. A few seconds after she sent the message, the noise suddenly stopped. Reine felt her heartbeat quicken. She wasn't one for paranoia but some coincidences are too much to ignore. Her sudden severe alertness was alleviated as quick as it came by the sight of Kiara appearing at the front door.

"Oh my god Reine!" Kiara squealed as she rushed out to greet her.

"Kiara!" Reine yelped as she was quickly enveloped in the phoenix's arms.

"This is the right place! Sorry I didn't hear you coming, I was listening to Calli's new single. But oh my god Reine, you look so.... small!"

"Oh, uh, yeah I guess I am a bit short... but you're cheating!" Reine exclaimed looking down at Kiara's very high heels.

Kiara laughed and wrapped Reine in a hug again but internally it was a much different story. Internally Kiara was fuming. What the hell is this? Reine looked stunning. Why is she so skinny? This is not what Kiara wanted at all. Sure Reine said she was going to "slim down" but fat girls tell that lie all the time, just look at Kronii. She's supposed to be the fat friend, not me! Sure she wasn't that fat, but Kiara looked like a blob next to Reine's supermodel figure. That little twitter shithead is going to have a field day if pictures of us together get out. Jealousy and anger coursed through Kiara's veins as she tried to keep up her joyful facade while Reine stowed her bags away and had a look around the house.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Reine exclaimed as she looked out the back door.

"Yeah, it's really stunning." Kiara replied. Almost as stunning as you. Kiara couldn't believe this. How was she supposed to wear her bikini on the beach with this goddess next to her?

"I can't believe you are still dressed, the water is so crystal clear and inviting. Let's hit the beach!" Reine was already fishing a bikini out of her bags.

"Actually... The flight here was just really exhausting and my head kinda hurts. I'm just gonna rest for a little while, you go ahead."

"Okay, I have some Tylenol in my bag if you need it." Reine popped into the bathroom and returned a few minutes later. "How do I look?"

"Looking great. Have you lost weight?" Kiara managed to say through gritted teeth. If she was being honest, Reine was one of the most beautiful women Kiara had ever seen. The perfect perky C cup breasts, the toned arms, the tight, defined thighs, and were those abs?! This isn't fair! I knew I should have asked Moona instead. That fatass couldn't lose weight to save her li-

"Kiara? Are you sure you are okay?" Reine snapped Kiara out of her thoughts.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Have a good time." Kiara flopped down on the bed as Reine left.

Leaving your pants unbuttoned isn't cute when they literally don't fit. Kiara thought to herself bitterly as she squeezed a small handful of fat on her tummy. She knew she had gotten a little chubby but it was fine, she had even made jokes about it to her chat, but with Reine here now everything was different. Now Kiara wasn't "soft and cute," now she was "fat" and not nearly as self-confident as she thought. No. No, it's fine. Those dickheads on twitter and 4chan don't know what they are talking about. I'm not fat at all and never have been. Besides, thicc is in right now. Reine's new figure will totally backfire on her. I'm going to go out there and show her what happens when a real woman steps on the sand. Reinvigorated and thirsty for retribution, Kiara put on her sexiest bikini and set out to prove Reine wrong.

"Hey! You came out anyway!" Reine exclaimed as Kiara approached her. Reine was laying face down on a towel, the sun bathing her back.

"Yeah. I decided I'm not letting anything get in the way of this vacation." Kiara replied with a smug sense of satisfaction. God, look at her. All skin and bone with no ass to speak of. Disgusting next to a thicc sex goddess like me. It took all Kiara had not to start laughing right in Reine's face. Kiara laid out her towel next to Reine's and laid down to take in the sun. Reine started blabbering about one thing or another but Kiara didn't hear a word of it, lost in her own dreamscape of Reine's humiliation when the boys didn't even look at her. Both Reine's talking and Kiara's thoughts were interrupted when Reine was struck square in the ass by a volleyball.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Are you okay, ma'am?" Reine barely had time to react before the most buff dude Kiara had ever seen ran over to crouch down beside her. He was quickly joined by two of his friends that were just as attractive as he was.

"Sorry, babe, totally my fault. Guess I don't know the power of these guns." The second guy said, flexing his arms.

"Can I get you anything? Do you need a drink?" Reine was rapidly being surrounded by every dude bro on the scene.

"Oh, no.. that's.. really that's alright..." Reine responded nervously. She wasn't used to getting swarmed in real life like this.

"You could get me a margarita." Kiara said in her most seductive tone, puffing out her already ample chest and winking.

"Wasn't talking to you actually." Buff dude number three responded curtly and turned back to Reine. "How about you come join us for a game?"

Kiara's hastily built confidence was shattered in an instant. He barely even looked at me... This wasn't right. She was hot! She was a world famous idol! She had almost one and a half million subscribers. Don't they know who I am?! This skinny bitch doesn't even have half my subscriber count! Why aren't they fawning over me?

"Maybe we should ask her to play too, she could use the exercise." It was meant to be a whisper but Kiara heard it loud and clear.

But... but I'm.... Hot shame rose within her and she quickly turned away to avoid giving them the satisfaction of seeing her face contort in anguish.

"I'm going back to the house." Kiara said quietly. She didn't risk saying anymore lest her voice betray the tears wetting her eyes. Reine was so flustered and distracted from being hounded that she didn't even notice Kiara had left until she was halfway back to the boardwalk.

"Kiara, wait!" Reine called after her but it was too late. The damage was already done.

=====================================================================

Reine managed to free herself from muscle dude harassment and could finally relax. Or at least she tried to. No amount of quiet solitude or pleasent ocean breeze could calm her mind. I really screwed this up. Those men meant nothing to Reine, her new body wasn't for them. Her new body was for Kiara. Now she probably thinks I don't even care about her. I blew it before I even started. I can't give up though. I have to show Kiara that she is the only person in the world for me. Reine didn't know how she would do it but she knew she would find a way. For both of them.

Her vacation had only started just a few short hours ago but already Kiara wanted to go home. She was currently scrolling through twitter and clutching the phone so hard she was about to break it. Reine had already started posting pictures and each one was flooded with likes and comments expressing jealousy over the location or, even worse, congratulations on her weight loss. Even Kiara's own fans were telling Reine how great she looked. Oh no, Tenchou, you look great! You aren't chubby, you're thicc! Guys love a dynamite body like yours! Fucking liars, all of them. Even her own gen-mates were posting. "Oh, I would just love to be there with you guys! You are looking so good, Reine!" Yeah you would say that, Ina. Everybody knows you only show your full body on stream when you can hide your fat ass under a kimono. Fucking coward. All of a sudden it hit her. It was perfect. The frown Kiara had been wearing for the past half an hour was replaced by a twisted grin as she opened discord. Maybe Ina could be with them sooner than she thought. Maybe all of them could.

=====================================================================

Reine stood just outside the front door to her and Kiara's house. Using her phone camera as a mirror she tried her best to make sure her hair looked good. Everything needed to be perfect. She could see a slight blush form on her face as she reached her hand behind her to give herself an intentional wedgie, the back of her bikini slipping between her firm cheeks. It was a little vulgar but if there was one thing Kiara couldn't resist it was a hot body. In her desperation it was the only thing Reine could think to do. She was going to seduce Kiara. She took a deep breath and entered. Kiara was lying on the bed looking at her phone. Reine put her arm against the wall and leaned into what she thought a sexy pose would look like.

"Hey, Kiara. Were you waiting for me?" Reine said in the most deep, breathy voice she could muster, trying her hardest to ooze sex appeal.

"Hey." Kiara replied. She didn't even look over. Off to a great start. Reine thought sarcastically. She looked around the room trying to think of something. She had never tried to seduce anybody in her whole life. Why did she think this would work?! Come on, big Braine time. Thinking fast, she pretended to accidentally knock her purse off the bureau and onto the floor.

"Oh, oops." Reine put her hands on the bureau and made a show of sticking out her ass towards Kiara before bending over, shimmying her hips as she slowly put each thing back in her purse one by one. Finally Reine stood back up and turned around, eager to see Kiara salivating over her perfect ass. Instead she was only met with the sight of orange hair. Kiara had rolled onto her side and wasn't even looking the entire time. What the hell?! What am I doing wrong?

"O-oh I uhh, I see you only got one bed. Excited to be sharing?"

"What? Of course there is only one bed. It was much cheaper this way, we talked about this." Kiara continued staring at her phone. Think. What would Ollie say?

"They didn't give us fans or anything? I heard that nights in the Maldives can get pretty hot." Reine put her hands on the bed and bent forward, emphasizing her chest. Her now smaller but still plump breasts hanging freely, her bikini top doing little to hinder their tantalizing sway.

"The central air thing is on the wall over there." Kiara vaguely waved her hand towards the small connecting hallway. What does a girl have to do for some attention around here? Before Reine could think of something else to say, Kiara spoke again.

"Hey Reine, how would you feel about going to America after this? A bunch of the EN girls said they wish they could be here too and it wouldn't be much trouble to change our flights home to go there instead.”

"YES!" Reine blurted out. "I-I mean sure, that sounds great." Yes! Even more time with Kiara. My plan to win her over is going to work after all!

Kiara was having excited thoughts of her own. Hook, line and sinker. She isn't gonna know what hit her.

=====================================================================

"Are you ready to order?" Kiara asked. The resort was labeled as all-inclusive and they really meant it. It even included this swanky restaurant.

"I don't know what to get. All the portions here look way too big. Maybe I will just get a salad or something."

"A salad? You come all the way to the Maldives for a salad? Come on, live a little. You already got your beach body, one dinner isn't going to do anything."

"I guess that's true..." Reine put a hand on her now perfectly flat stomach. She had worked hard for this body, maybe she deserved to indulge a little.

"I'm having trouble deciding myself. I read some of the reviews for this place and a lot of people said that all the food here was amazing." This was technically true, many of the reviews did say the food tasted great, but that wasn't what really made Kiara choose this restaurant out of all the options. Kiara was attracted by a different review. 'The food is great but be careful! I was only there for a couple weeks but I gained nearly 20 pounds during my stay.' with quite a few other women chiming in to say similar things. Perfect. Let's see how long that amazing body lasts now.

=====================================================================

"Oof I'm so full." Reine flopped down on the bed and put both her hands on her bloated stomach. "I shouldn't have let you talk me into dessert."

"But it was sooo good though!" Kiara exclaimed. Reine only gave a half-joking groan in response. Kiara was feeling a little full herself. She had eaten nearly the same amount as Reine but she couldn't let her get suspicious. Kiara walked around to Reine's side and put her hand on Reine's stomach.

"Aww, does your tummy hurt?" It took every bit of willpower Reine had not to gasp. Or moan. Kiara's touch was electric. Finally the touch Reine had been waiting for for so long. This made everything worth it, even her stomach ache.

"Y-yes." Reine could barely speak. Something about the way Kiara slightly rubbed her stomach when she touched it. The slight smile that escaped before Kiara could hide it. The way Kiara looked into her eyes when she asked. It was all so... sensual.

Good, I hope you feel sick all night. And I hope you feel sick again tomorrow too. I'm going to spend all week stuffing you like a turkey.

=====================================================================

The room was dark. Reine could just barely make out Kiara's form in the moonlight coming in through the window. Kiara was on her side facing away from her but Reine didn't think she was asleep yet, the only sound she could hear was the ocean waves lapping against the support beams below. If she was being honest her stomach still hurt but Reine wasn't going to let that get in the way. Kiara's touch was like a drug and just once was all it took for Reine to get hooked. She was desperate for another hit. Reine reached out and put her finger on Kiara's neck and slowly ran her fingertip down Kiara's spine, stopping just above the cleft of her ass.

"You are touching me." Kiara said somewhat curtly. Definitely not the inviting tone Reine was expecting. Oh no, did I misunderstand this? What should I do? Kiara started to roll over. In a panic Reine shut her eyes and tried her hardest to pretend to be asleep.

"Oh." God she's even annoying in her sleep. Kiara looked down at Reine's torso. It was dark but Kiara could see that the bloating had mostly subsided, Reine's stomach returning to its flat state. Kiara's devious smile couldn't have stretched any further. Not for long.

=====================================================================

Kiara sat on the balcony sporting a pair of binoculars. There were plenty of boats out in the water, a large assortment of birds in the air and scattered through the palms, and people playing various games on the beach. Kiara didn't care to look at any of that though, she had her binoculars trained on one target only. Reine lying out on her beach towel. More specifically, Reine's midsection. It was day four of their vacation and Kiara had easily convinced Reine to go back to that restaurant with her for almost every meal. It was subtle but it was starting to show. The waist of her bikini bottoms pressing ever so slightly into the flesh on her hips. The cups of her top showing just that little extra bit of skin. The indentation between her abs beginning to fill. The tone of her arms no longer visible if she wasn't flexing. Slowly but surely, Reine was gaining weight and Kiara couldn't be happier about it.

And this is only from one restaurant over four days. Imagine what weeks of American food will do to her. She hadn't told Reine but Kiara actually hadn't booked their flights home at all. They wouldn't just be going to see Ina, with so many EN members' houses to stay at Kiara was going to take Reine to dine around the entire country until she exploded. Kiara's internal gloating was interrupted by a different internal organ, a loud gurgling from her stomach. In order to keep her plan under wraps, Kiara had to eat at the fattening restaurant as well. Being not nearly as skinny as Reine it didn't show hardly at all on Kiara's figure but she knew she wouldn't be escaping the Maldives without a few extra pounds of her own. A small price to pay. Besides, Kiara was already a little chubby, no one would notice at all. Not when they see Reine go from beauty to blimp. Everything was going perfectly.

=====================================================================

"Excuse me, is there a bathroom I could use?" Reine asked.

"Of course, it's right down the hall. Show her for me, Ina." Mama Ina'nis replied jovially. Despite her daughter's rather Lovecraftian appearance, her mother looked like your average woman with the exception of sharing her daughter's purple hair and eyes. Aside from that their figures differed wildly. Mama'nis was much taller and quite a fair bit more overweight than her daughter, sporting a round face with a seemingly permanent smile. Mama'nis and Kiara were standing in the kitchen. It wasn't until she heard the bathroom door close that Mama'nis spoke again.

"Goodness, Kiara, your friend is so.. so.." she leaned in to lower her voice, "sickly." Ina returned to the kitchen just in time to hear this.

"What do you mean, mom? Reine isn't sick." Ina questioned.

"She's so thin she looks like she is about to waste away. She's not nearly as healthy as you two girls." Mama'nis replied, playfully pinching her daughter's rather plump posterior.

"Mooom stop! I told you not to be weird and embarrass me!" Ina whined, shooing her mother's hand away.

"Oh, come now, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm sure Kiara wouldn't judge you if she knew you were overeating to try and grow a nice pair of-"

"MOM!" Ina interrupted but it was too late.

"Oh, yeah, Ina? Trying to grow up nice and big?" Kiara smugly teased, leaning down and puffing out her chest, almost touching Ina. Ina's face was turning so red it was about to catch fire.

"See, Ina, look at Kiara. This is what a healthy girl's body is supposed to look like I'm always telling you. Now girls don't you worry, I'll set Reine on the right path."

=====================================================================

"Some more chicken, dear?" Mama'nis asked. She didn't bother waiting for an answer before proceeding to pile more food on the peafowl's plate.

"Oh, no thank you, Mrs. Ninomae, I'm *mmph* I'm so full." Reine replied, clutching her bloated belly for emphasis.

"Nonsense, you look like the wind is about to blow you away. You simply must clean your plate."

"Yeah, Reine, don't be rude to our very gracious host." Kiara scolded, hiding her grin behind a sip of her drink.

Kiara was right, Reine shouldn't be rude. Picking up her fork again she began to slowly work her way through this new pile of chicken, occasionally interrupted by a groan or a stifled burp. At least the food was delicious. Mama'nis' cooking was almost better than the restaurant at the resort. Thank god I’m so thin now, Reine thought to herself, things could get really bad here otherwise if she was still eating like she used to. Reine was right, she wasn't eating like she used to. She was eating more. Much more. Sure Reine used to overeat but that was because she would be snacking all day long. What she was taking in with these massive meals was far outweighing any damage that intermittent snacking could ever do and it seemed Mama'nis was poised to make things even worse.

"Good, three clean plates, that's what I want to see. Now, you girls are ready for dessert right? I baked a cake just for you." Mama'nis was already on her feet and headed back to the kitchen before she even finished asking. Reine could only groan.

=====================================================================

"You guys wanna play Mario Party? We can head upstairs to my room." Ina asked when dessert was finished.

"Sure, sounds fun.” Kiara replied. “Thanks for letting us stay here, Mrs. Ninomae."

"Think nothing of it, make yourselves at home. You can stay as long as you like."

Perfect. Kiara was about to follow Ina out of the dining room when she noticed Reine wasn't getting up.

"Could you help me? I ate way too much." Reine was embarrassed to ask but she didn't have a choice. She was simply too stuffed to stand right now. Her embarrassment was quickly replaced by overwhelming joy at Kiara's response. The quick smile she flashed. The smooth feeling of Kiara's skin as she took her hand. The gentle firmness of Kiara's other hand on her back as she helped her up. Kiara putting Reine's arm over her shoulder to support her. Her grip slightly tightening as they began walking up the stairs. For these short moments it was like Reine couldn't feel the pain in her stomach at all. Reine was lost in Heaven's sea of clouds, enveloped in the caring touch of her secret love. Sadly this moment of rapture had to end as Kiara helped Reine down onto the bed.

"I'm fine with sleeping on the floor if you two want the bed? Reine looks like she needs it. Sorry about my mom, she's a little..."

"It's fine, her cooking is amazing." Kiara replied. "And sure, I guess we could share a bed again." Kiara turned to give a questioning look to Reine but the overstuffed turkey had already passed out.

=====================================================================

"K-Kiara..." Reine was panting heavily and sweating, "Please I can't eat anymore." Reine didn't know how long she had been at the table but it must have been hours, hours of shoving food in her face in a desperate attempt to please Kiara. Yet no matter how much food she ate, no matter how achingly overstuffed her belly grew, Kiara wouldn't let it end. She only sat there across the table, leaned forward with her elbow on the table and her head cocked to the side, cradled in her hand. Her pose allowed her impressive chest to hang down towards the table, she wasn't wearing a bra and her nipples were so tantalizingly close to slipping out of her low cut shirt.

"Oh, you can't? But don't you want this?" Kiara slowly slid her long slender fingers between her cleavage to pull out the band of her long necklace, a small key hanging on the end. The key! Reine felt an involuntary throbbing between her legs. It took all the willpower she had not to spread her thighs and start touching herself right then, even though she knew it was pointless. No matter how desperate and needy the poor peafowl got there was nothing she could do to relieve herself. It was months ago now since she had agreed to Kiara's game. Since she made that stupid decision. Kiara had made her an offer. Reine let herself be locked in this chastity belt while Kiara spent the night teasing her, then after Reine ate enough at dinner to satisfy Kiara, Kiara would unlock her belt and ravage her until she couldn't think straight anymore. The idea filled Reine with such overwhelming lust that of course she agreed. It was perfect, or it would have been if not for one little catch. Kiara wasn't satisfied with how much Reine ate at dinner. She kept demanding more. More and more and more until Reine thought she would be sick, thought she would explode, until she couldn't possibly eat anymore. And so Kiara relented but left Reine in her cage, forced to go to bed that night with an agonizing stomach ache and burning desire between her legs.

And so it continued. Every single night Reine would beg to be let out of her cage and every single night Kiara would refuse. 'You have to eat.' So she did. Reine would gorge herself to the point of illness every meal and yet it was never enough. Every night ended with Kiara giving an icy chuckle as she left Reine at the table, stuffed beyond belief and thrashing at her binds, pulling and clawing at her belt, desperate to quell the everlasting ache of unanswered sexual need between her thighs. Her growing thighs. Sexual frustration and stomach aches weren't the only agonies Kiara was forcing her to endure. The most humiliating part was the ruination of her body. Reine had worked so hard to lose weight, to have the body she always wanted, and now all her work was for nothing. Her hard earned thigh gap now filled with pounds and pounds of useless, cellulite ridden fat touching almost all the way down to her knees. Her abs lost in a sea of jiggling flab, her huge belly folding over and flowing under the confines of her now painfully tight chastity belt. Things weren't any better in the back. While the belt had started as a thong showcasing her perfectly toned rear, the fully open back now only served as a source of humiliation as Reine was forced to take in the enormity of her wide, dimpled ass cheeks. The tightness of her chastity belt wasn't the only pain her growing body harbored her with, however. Her increased weight also came with a pain in her back as her breasts swelled out bigger than they ever were before, not even her pre diet bras could contain her anymore and Kiara refused to let her buy new ones. So Reine was forced to spend every day with her ponderous pontoons completely unsupported, the heaving sacks of fat sagging down to either side of her gut. While her newly engorged assets were certainly more sensitive than they used to be, no amount of rubbing her breasts or tweaking her nipples could take her over the edge, these actions only serving to make her frustration worse.

"Come on, little piggy. I know you can fit more in there." Kiara teased her as she walked over behind Reine's seat. Kiara bent over and Reine could feel Kiara's hot breath on her ear as she whispered.

"I want my turkey stuffed." Another jolt of sexual need shot through Reine's whole body. She tried to reach up behind her to put her hands all over Kiara's body, but Kiara simply shooed her hands away.

"Ah, ah, ah, you know the rules. If piggy wants to play..." Reine was awash in agonizing desire as she felt Kiara run her hands over her engorged gut and squeeze the roll of fat that hung over her belt, "...then piggy needs to eat." Reine rolled her head back, her mouth lolling open as she tried to kiss Kiara, anything for even the slightest gratification, but her open mouth was only greeted with more food as Kiara personally shoved another forkful into Reine's mouth.

"Are you sure she's okay?" Ina asked Kiara. Reine had been moaning and groaning as she tossed back and forth in her sleep and Ina was getting concerned.

"She's fine. She's probably just having a dream." Kiara replied. I hope it's a nightmare.

=====================================================================

What is wrong with me today? Reine asked herself as she looked in the bathroom mirror. Reine had no intention of using the bathroom for its given purpose, she was using the bathroom to hide. The girls were all playing a game in Ina's room when Mama'nis brought them cookies to snack on. Ina and Kiara both took several to munch on but Reine was still watching her figure. Still though, she didn't want to be rude, so she took just one. The cookie was delicious and, if she was being fully honest with herself, she really wanted more but she needed to maintain self-control. She was already eating a little too much during her stay here. But what happened after her cookie gave her a desire much more undeniable. The moment replayed over and over in Reine's head as she tried to calm down. These cookies are sooo good, Reine. Don't you want some more? Reine excused herself and dashed off to the bathroom as quickly as she could. She had already woken up completely soaked between her legs this morning from her crazy dream the night before and now a dull throbbing was growing yet again. That night Kiara rubbed her stomach after she ate too much at the restaurant. The way Kiara had gotten so close to her, so.. intimate, when she needed help upstairs after dinner last night. Her dream about Kiara wanting her to eat more and now it actually happening in real life. Was Kiara really... into this? Reine had worked so hard to lose all that weight and get this perfect body, Reine had always wanted to be thin. So why was the idea of eating for Kiara so... Reine splashed some water on her face. I need to calm down. Kiara isn't... I'm just overthinking things.

=====================================================================

"Is there dessert tonight?" Reine asked excitedly.

"There certainly is. I'll be right back." Mama'nis replied happily as she went to the kitchen. Kiara was even happier than Ina's mother. We've only been here for five days and already she's stuffing her face without me even having to suggest it. She's going to be an absolute whale in no time and she doesn't even realize it's happening.

Kiara's smile is so beautiful. It only flashed across her lips for a moment but Reine would cherish it for eternity. Reine almost couldn't believe her plan was working. Kiara really was into her eating. All she had to do was eat a little bit extra at dinner and Kiara was over the moon for her. She knew Kiara would touch her after dinner again but this time she wouldn't be falling asleep. This time she was going to make her move, this time she was going to show Kiara that she loved her just as much.

"Mmm this cake is soo good, Mrs. Ninomae. I could just eat the whole thing." Reine said as she made a show of slowly, teasingly, eating each bite while flashing her eyes at Kiara. She had to make tonight count. She had been overeating for almost two weeks and she needed to get things back under control. She could talk to Kiara about indulging in Kiara's... interests when the time was right.

"Ooo I'm so full now." Reine exclaimed, exaggerating her heavy breathing.

"Ina could you.. could you help me with the dishes in the kitchen please?" Mama'nis asked her daughter as she began to round up the plates. As she came around to the other side of the table she whispered in Ina's ear. "Is your friend feeling alright?" Ina could only shrug in response. Reine waited until the Ninomaes were in the kitchen before she continued her assault.

"Kiara, could you help me again? I don't think I can move. I'm just so stuffed."

"Of course." Kiara replied. God she's so annoying. She's supposed to be a fatass, not an invalid. Kiara held out both her hands for Reine to take. Reine took both her hands but intentionally didn't help at all when Kiara tried to pull her. Once Kiara started putting her back into it, Reine used her legs to spring forward, letting go of Kiara's hands and pretending to stumble directly into her.

"Oops, I'm so clumsy." Reine said, letting out her trademark dorky laugh. Having thrust forward so fast, Reine had to put her head over Kiara's shoulder to prevent them from headbutting each other and, as a result, her face was now smothered in Kiara's hair. The smell of her shampoo was intoxicating. Reine lost herself in bliss for a moment and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Kiara.

"Reine? What are you doing?" Kiara asked, the bewilderment evident in her voice. This wasn't the tone Reine was expecting her to have at all. Oh no. Did I push things too far?

"Sorry I just umm, I just got dizzy for a second. Stood up too fast." Reine replied with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh. You should probably go lay down upstairs then. I'm gonna help Ina clean up and then we will come check on you. Okay?"

"But I, uhh, you..." I'm blowing it.

"What? Do you need something?"

"N-no, I'll be fine..." Reine said before quickly turning to leave. Damn it.

What the hell was that? Did Reine just sniff my hair? Does Reine...?

=====================================================================

Ina had a sponsored stream and Mama'nis had several errands to run so Kiara and Reine were left to their lonesome in the living room. Kiara suggested several multiplayer games but Reine declined, opting to simply watch Kiara play whatever she wanted. At least she understands her place beneath me. Kiara had played Elden Ring a few times on stream and it was okay but Ina had suggested that Bloodborne would be more enjoyable. With no chat to backseat her and Reine saying she had never played it, Kiara took this opportunity to have a nice spoiler and annoyance free playthrough. Unfortunately for the phoenix, the "annoyance free" part didn't last very long.

"This is fucking bullshit, why does the boss just get to heal?!" Kiara slammed the controller down in her lap in frustration. She had been storming through the beging of the game and was starting to feel rather smug before hitting this wall. She picked up the controller to try again when she felt Reine's hands slide over her shoulders.

"You are getting so tense." Reine said softly as she started massaging Kiara's shoulders and neck with a slow firmness in her hands. Kiara hadn't asked for this sudden massage but she'd be lying if she said it didn't feel nice.

"I don't even know why I keep wasting insight summoning this u.. ooo useless NPC." The massage felt so nice in fact that Kiara was starting to have trouble concentrating.

"Hmm, I hear that little cooing." Kiara couldn't see Reine at all but she could feel her getting closer. "Do you want me to keep going?" Reine was almost whispering now.

"Yes please." What the fuck? Kiara hadn't even thought before automatically agreeing.

"You always seem so stressed all the time." Reine leaned right next to Kiara's ear. "Let me help you relax." Reine's gentle whispering voice was so soothing. How the hell is she not doing ASMR streams? This girl really needs better manag-

"Ahh~" Kiara had no chance of ever holding back her gasp as the sound of Reine's whispering was replaced by another. The soft, wet smacking sound of Reine's lips on her neck. "R-Reine what are you...?"

"Shh, shh, shh. Don't talk. Just let me take care of you." Reine's whisper was so breathy and light that Kiara almost couldn't hear it. Kiara made more than enough noise for the two of them as Reine moved her right hand down from Kiara's shoulder to her breast, lightly teasing Kiara's nipple with her thumb. Reine occasionally interchanged the kisses on her neck with nips and bites.

"I know what you want. I know what you need." Reine spread her legs to pull Kiara back against her body fully. Kiara could feel Reine's plush, heavy chest against her back as Reine continued whispering. "I'm not stupid you know, I see the way you look at me at dinner."

"I-I don't know what you are taAAh~" Kiara couldn't finish her sentence as Reine squeezed her breast again.

"Don't play dumb. I know exactly what you are doing. You are trying to make me fat." Shit. Did she really know the whole time?

"No I... No I'm not..." Kiara tried to weakly protest.

"It's true. You've been encouraging me to overeat." Reine ran her other hand down Kiara's back and around to Kiara's slight stomach and squeezed. "You want me even fatter than you."

"Th-that's not true... I'm not even... not even fat... It's only in your imaginMMMmmph" Kiara bit her lip and struggled with all her might not yelp in pleasure as Reine slid her hand from her belly down into the front of her pants.

"You're a bad liar." Reine teased, nibbling Kiara's earlobe as she began running her fingers over Kiara's lower lips.

"Rei.. Nnn... Reine stop... Ina's mom c-coul..." Kiara's breathing was ragged and her mind was hazing over with a fog of pleasure so dense she could barely speak.

"I don't care. I want her to see. I want the whole world to see." Reine whispered between kisses on Kiara's neck. Kiara gasped as Reine's fingers went lower, her middle finger teasing right against her maiden's gate.

"R-Reine I.. I've always lov-"

"Kiara!" Kiara jolted awake as Ina shook her shoulders. "Come on, breakfast is ready."

=====================================================================

This is bad. This is so bad. Reine finally worked up the courage to step on the scale in Ina's bathroom and the results were far from ideal. Eighteen pounds? How did I gain eighteen pounds in two and a half weeks?! I only lost fifty! Reine pulled her shirt up and turned frantically every which way trying to assess the damage. Her abs were completely gone. She hadn't started developing a potbelly but there was definitely a softness to her tummy, even the beginning of a slight bulging under her navel. Her previously toned upper arms were now just round tubes of flesh. Not very thick tubes, and the muscle was still there if she really flexed but she definitely had the look of a girl who hadn't worked out in a while. She couldn't turn well enough to see her ass really but she could feel it starting to press against the seat of her new post-diet pants. A tightness that continued down into the legs as her thighs had begun to soften. It's okay, it's okay don't freak out. It's just a few pounds. I'm going home today and I'll just get back on my diet plan. Reine couldn't help but slam her fist down on the rim of the sink in frustration. Nearly three weeks of overeating and nearly twenty pounds gained and not even an inch of progress with Kiara. This vacation romance plan was a total bust. I ruined all my hard work for nothing. I'm such an idiot.

"Come on Reine, the uber is here!" Reine heard Kiara call from downstairs. Reine quickly ran her fingers through her hair and rushed downstairs to grab her bags.

"Thanks so much for letting us stay, Mrs. Ninomae." Kiara said as they were walking to the front door.

"It was wonderful having you." Mama'nis seemed like she was more sad about them leaving than Ina was, she looked like she was about to cry as she wrapped both the girls in a big hug. "Have a safe trip, lovebirds." She said in Reine's ear.

"Wh-wha.." Reine started to stammer but was cut off by Ina.

"Bye! Enjoy the rest of your trip!" Everyone finished their goodbyes and the girls walked down to the car. They stowed their stuff in the trunk and piled into the Uber.

"Good morning, ladies. Chicago, huh? Sightseeing?" The driver asked.

"We are catching a train actually. One of those luxury package things that goes to Canada." Kiara replied excitedly.

"What? We aren't going home?" Reine asked, trying to ask quietly despite being in mild alarm. She wasn't told about this at all.

"Oh, sorry, did I not mention this? Kronii wanted to see us too so I figured we could go on a luxury tour. The train looks so nice, you are gonna love it. The whole thing is eleven days but we are going to be getting off at a slightly earlier rest stop that is pretty close to her place." Nine more days of luxury food for her to shove down her stupid gullet. I really am the genius of EN.

"Oh my god that sounds fun! That must have been so expensive." Reine's initial alarm quickly gave way to excitement. Sharing a private little train cabin with Kiara? This is perfect. Another shot at love!

"Any price is worth spending more time with you." Ugh gross. Even being sarcastic that was awful. Look at her smiling, of course she bought it. Like I would ever be all lovey-dovey with Reine. The other night was just a stupid dream.

"Aww, that's so sweet. Don't go falling in love with me on this trip!" Reine started guffawing loudly at her own joke but internally she wasn't so sure. Was Kiara just joking? Reine hoped not.

=====================================================================

Their cabin on the train was surprisingly big, sporting a couch even longer than the one Reine had in her own living room; it even had a miniature kitchen. Reine was disappointed to note that the beds were single person size but pleased at the prospect of spending the next nine days in this little mobile apartment. Spending nine more days in constant close proximity to Kiara. Reine was eager for another chance to turn on her charm but Kiara had been acting strange all day. For the past few days really. Not rude but just sort of distant. Nothing had happened during their stay at Ina's, no fights or anything, so Reine wasn't sure what was bothering her. Even now, fresh on a new leg of their vacation, Kiara only sat at the end of the couch looking out the window at the trees going by. Reine couldn't help but feel sad seeing her this way, despite all these new feelings Kiara was still her friend. Reine moved down the couch to sit closer to her.

"Hey." Reine gently brushed Kiara's arm to get her attention and spoke softly. "Are you okay?"

"What?" Kiara jumped at Reine's touch and swung her head around quickly as if startled from deep thought.

"I asked if you were feeling okay. You seem kinda out of it today." Kiara's eyes drifted down to Reine's hand on her arm which Reine quickly removed.

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." Kiara tried her best to sound unbothered but she was lying. She was far from fine, she hadn't been since the morning Ina woke her up for breakfast. It was just a dream, she told herself. Kept telling herself. Watching Reine stuff herself every night had brought Kiara no end of sadistic joy before and it still brought her joy now but now it was different. Now it was...

"It's okay, Kiara, you can tell me. You don't have to hide anything from your friend." Friend. At that moment, for the first time since she put her plan in motion, Kiara felt guilt. Reine had been her friend for years. She should be happy for Reine losing weight, not jealous. So why did watching her slowly ruin her body feel so...

"I'm sorry..." Kiara said it so quietly it was barely even a whisper.

"What? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the train."

"....Hungry. I said I'm hungry. We should get lunch." Kiara did her best to fake an earnest smile but judging by the look on Reine's face she didn't quite make it.

=====================================================================

Dinner was even more impressive than lunch. The portions here were absolutely gigantic and Reine was in heaven. Giving in never felt so good. On purpose. Eating on purpose never felt so good. Tasted so good. Eating on purpose for Kiara never tasted so good, that’s what she meant. Who am I fooling? Lying to myself isn't going to make this stupid belly fat go away. Reine cringed as she glanced down. She had gained so much weight for this hare-brained plan that her stomach was starting to fold into rolls when she sat. Everybody's stomach does this. She knew it was just another lie she was telling herself but she needed something to hold on to. She needed resolve. This overeating was going to stop again just as soon as she had dessert. Kiara. It was going to stop just as soon as she had Kiara. Why is the idea of dessert starting to sound almost just as good?

Kiara had barely touched her food. Her mind was drowning in a turbulent sea of emotions, watching Reine eat was filling her with almost equal parts vengeful joy and guilt. And pleasure. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, tried to label it something else, that dream had woken something within her. Every time she saw Reine's hands she wanted to feel them on her body. Every time she saw Reine's lips she wanted to kiss them. Every time she heard Reine's voice she wanted it to be teasingly whispering in her ear. Acknowledging how wrong it felt only made her want it more. Kiara desperately tried to push the image of pinning Reine down right here in front of everybody out of her mind.

=====================================================================

"Thank you..." Reine was huffing and groaning as Kiara helped ease her down onto the couch in their cabin. "Why did you make me order seconds?"

Kiara swallowed and tried to ignore the damp heat between her legs as she sat down next to Reine. "I didn't make you do anything. You ordered more dessert yourself."

"'Oh, Reine, you have to try this cheesecake.' How was I supposed to resist?"

"I told you that at lunch!"

"W-well I wanted it now... It's still your fault." Reine groaned and leaned back as she put a hand on her belly and closed her eyes. Kiara noticed how Reine's fingers sank slightly into the small bunch of excess skin piling up at her waist. Reine was getting chubby. Why do I want to grab it? Kiara shut her eyes tight and tried to calm down. She was never going to enjoy the rest of this vacation if she didn't do something.

"Reine, can I talk to you about something?" There's no way she didn't notice how nervous I just sounded. Her nervousness shifted to confusion, however, when she received no reply.

"Reine?" Reine only grunted and shifted her body slightly. She was asleep. Damn it.

Kiara was about to get up when Reine shifted again, this time ending up resting against Kiara's side. As much as her libido was begging for this moment to last forever Kiara still didn't want to be this much of a pervert.

"Reine? You should get in your bed if you are going to sleep." Kiara said softly. Reine mumbled something but Kiara couldn't hear it. "What?"

"No.. no more..." Reine groaned, moaned?, in her sleep. I guess I could stay here a little while longer...

=====================================================================

Kiara felt like she was going to be sick as she staggered back to the cabin with Reine leaning on her shoulders. Kiara hadn't seen it on the itinerary for the trip but apparently for night five, one of the train cars was converted into a live performance venue for some on board entertainment. The show itself was pretty mediocre but the waiters had been serving an almost constant stream of alcohol to the guests in attendance and, as a result, Reine was absolutely smashed. Kiara hardly had room to judge however, she could barely walk herself. As soon as they got through their cabin doors, Reine fell straight onto the couch.

"Yo, tha conshert was so shick..." Reine launched into a completely unintelligible rendition of one of the songs while waving her hands around. Kiara started laughing so hard she started to feel like she had to throw up. As she tried to make her way to the small sink she stumbled and fell against the rear wall of the cabin.

"HA HA You're like totally drunk! HAHAHA!" Reine cackled loudly and pointed at her.

"Shuddup bitch you're totawy drunk..." The knock against the wall left Kiara even dizzier than she already was so she slumped down on the couch as well. Reine flailed her arms out and managed to grab onto Kiara's hand.

"When you fall... ashleep firsh I'm gonna.. draw all over your head."  Reine started laughing again though with less power this time as she was feeling woozy. She pulled on Kiara's hand causing the drunken phoenix to fall over, her head coming to land right next to Reine's.

"Oh yeah well when you fall sleep I'm gonn draw all over your big belly eheheh." Kiara shot back, giggling smugly at her own joke.

"Hey... who you callin big belly?" Reine asked, finally managing to sit up.

"You." Kiara replied, using Reine's body for balance as she pulled herself up to a sitting position as well. She brazenly reached down and squeezed the ever increasing pile of pudge forming on Reine's waist.

"Well at least it's not as big as yours." Reine said, putting her hand on Kiara's belly and squeezing as much as she could.

"Yours is way bigger, tubby turkey."

"Fatty phoenix."

"Plumpy peafowl."

"Chunky chic-" Reine's insult was cut off as her body made impact with the front wall of the cabin and her lips made impact with Kiara's and were promptly spread by her tongue. Reine could feel Kiara's tongue aggressively slithering around her mouth as she felt one of Kiara's hands squeezing her ass and the other holding tightly on her back. Reine was shocked initially but didn't take long to reciprocate. She had waited so long for this moment and it was finally here. Reine let her hands drift all over Kiara's body, running up and down her back and over her ass, across her tummy and down her thighs. Eventually one of Reine's hands came to rest on one of Kiara's breasts and Kiara responded by beginning to awkwardly thrust her hips, dry humping Reine's leg. What Kiara's horny gyrations lacked in grace she made up for in force as she was practically pounding Reine against the wall, hardly even breaking their makeout to breathe for more than a second. It wasn't until Kiara's forcefulness knocked Reine off the couch and sent both of them tumbling to the floor with Kiara landing on top of Reine that Kiara even truly realized what she was doing. There on the floor, staring down into Reine's eyes beneath her, all of Kiara's drunken horniness was instantly replaced with sobering shame.

"R-Reine I.. I'm..." Kiara's face turned a deep scarlet as she got up and rushed out of the cabin.

"Kiara wait!" Reine tried to go after her but by the time she managed to get to her feet and out the door, Kiara had already vanished from sight.

=====================================================================

Reine found herself in the dining car alone once again. The last two days had been awkward to say the least. Kiara was so mortified with her own behavior that she hardly said a single word the next day and the day after wasn't much better. They didn't even eat together. Reine had tried to approach Kiara more than once to smooth things over but Kiara wouldn't even look at her. Reine didn't know what to do. She couldn't even go home after the train trip because they were supposed to stay with Kronii for at least a week. Reine's ruminations were interrupted when she reached down for another soft, buttery roll only to touch hard glass. She had eaten the entire tray. She didn't even remember starting to eat. Reine's dream vacation was turning into a nightmare fast and she felt powerless to stop it.

=====================================================================

"Th-there's something that I... Something that I need to tell you..."

"What's wrong? You're shaking. Do I need to take you to the hospital?"

"No, I've.. I've just been so nervous to tell you this..."

"What is it? You know you can always tell me anything."

"... You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on."

"Aww, well that's very kind of you to say but where is this coming from?"

"It's coming from my heart. From my soul. Every single day since the first day I ever saw you I... I've loved you."

"You... You what?"

"I love you. I've always loved you. Every single day when I see you I just want to scream at the top of my lungs and tell the whole world that I love you."

"Oh my god, I... I've always..."

"What?"

"I've always loved you too..."

"You have?"

"Yes. Oh my god, yes. You are the most beautiful, amazing, perfect woman that's ever existed in this universe."

"Can we..."

"...Kiss?"

"Yes. Yes this is all I've ever wanted."

The sound of a doorbell echoed through the house, interrupting the lover's passion.

"Oh no, I have to hide."

"No, I want them to see."

"But this is so... so scandalous... What if they talk?"

"Let them talk. Nothing could ever tear me away from you."

The doorbell rang out once more. Putting her hand on her lover's cheek, she gave one last longing look before going to answer the door.

"Kroniichiwa!"  Kiara and Reine exclaimed in unison.

"Hey Kiara!" Kronii leaned in to give Kiara a quick hug.

"And who.. Oh my god, Reine...?" Kronii failed to conceal the surprise in her voice.

"That's me.. heh heh" Reine replied, breaking eye contact nervously.

"Sorry you just look so.. so great." Kronii said, hoping her fake smile was convincing.

"Who were you talking to?" Kiara asked as Kronii ushered them inside.

"Huh? Oh uh... nobody. You must have heard the tv or something." Kronii replied.

As Kronii showed them into the living room, Reine couldn't help but cringe as she caught sight of herself in a mirror on the side wall. She wasn't just looking 'soft' anymore, she was looking chubby. Really chubby. I almost look as big as I did before, Reine thought as she looked at her belly. It had grown so much it was starting to roll over the front of her pants, it was almost sticking out as far as her breasts, she noted with disgust. She noticed the reflection of Kronii looking in her direction and quickly tried to hide her consternation.

"That's a cute little decal." Reine said.

"Decal?" Kronii questioned.

"Yeah, the little lips here." Reine replied, pointing at a spot on the mirror. "Like the lipstick left behind from a kiss. A little distracting being right in the center like that though. If I was a little shorter it would be right in the middle of my face."

"O-oh, yeah, right, decal. The decal, yeah. Yeah I uh, I put that on to see what it would look like and it just really got stuck, you know?" Kronii had never been a good liar.

=====================================================================

Kiara stood outside Kronii's guest bedroom door and tried to calm down. She took a few deep breaths as she went over what she was going to say to Reine one more time. It's going to be fine. I just have to rip the band-aid off and then we can go back to normal. Kiara took one last deep breath and entered the bedroom. Reine was laying on the bed facing away from Kiara and hadn't heard her open the door. For a second Kiara thought of using this chance to run away again. Just rip the band-aid off.

"Reine?" Despite her self pep-talk in the hallway, Kiara's voice still came out weak and unsteady. Reine jumped slightly at the sound of her voice and rolled over.

"H-hey." This was very unexpected. Reine hadn't made even the slightest bit of progress in trying to talk to Kiara so her showing up out of the blue like this was almost alarming. Despite her alarm, Reine couldn't help but feel a warmth in her chest seeing Kiara looking her in the face again.

"Umm.. Could I talk to you? It's really important to me..." Kiara managed to get the words out shakily but not to maintain eye contact. Seeing Kiara vulnerable like this made Reine's heart sink. It made her want to reach out and hug her and protect her from every bad thing in the world.

"Of course you can. You can always talk to me." Reine did her best to put on a strong facade for her friend but, truth be told, she was just as nervous as Kiara sounded.

"I'm really sorry about the other night. I was really drunk and we were having such a good time and then we were touching each other and I just got really carried away..." Kiara delivered her apology while staring down at the floor but it was an apology all the same. An apology that Reine didn't require. Reine got off the bed and walked over to stand in front of Kiara. She took both of Kiara's hands in her own.

"Kiara it's okay, you don't have to apologize. Honestly, I really..." Reine's confession trailed off as she noticed that Kiara was crying. "Hey, don't cry it's okay." Reine let go of Kiara's hands and leaned in to hug her tightly. After a few seconds Reine noticed that Kiara wasn't hugging her back. Save for the erratic breathing from her crying causing her chest to rise and fall, Kiara wasn't moving at all. It was almost like hugging an inanimate object.

"I'm a terrible friend." Was all Reine managed to make out between Kiara's crying noises against her shoulder. Reine gently pushed Kiara back slightly and put a hand under her chin, lifting up Kiara's face to look at her.

"That's not true at all. You are one of the best friends I've ever had." Reine had hoped making eye contact would make her words more meaningful but Kiara's downward facing eyes and the fresh set of tears streaking down her cheeks told her she missed the mark.

"It is. It is true. You are always so... *sniffle* so nice to me and, and supportive and all I've done this whole trip is just be shitty to you and I'm so sorry." As Kiara broke down again, Reine took this time to gently walk her over to the bed and sit down with her. For once Reine was glad that Kiara wasn't looking at her as she felt like she was about to start crying as well. For Kiara to be so drastically upset over just one little hiccup in their relationship must mean that Kiara really treasured her!  In an attempt to stay calm she didn't try to speak, she just let Kiara cling to her while Reine stroked her hair. Reine waited until Kiara's breathing began to level out before speaking again.

"Are you okay?" Reine asked, putting her hand on the back of Kiara's and squeezing it gently.

"Yeah.. yeah I think so." Kiara replied, breaking her hug to lean back and wipe her eyes.

"Good. You really don't have to be upset or apologize. Everything is okay." Kiara smiled slightly at this and hugged Reine again.

"Now, it's getting pretty late." Reine said, giving Kiara a few gentle pats on the back. "We should get some sleep."

As Reine and Kiara finally settled into bed for the night, Reine was over the moon. Her stomach was filled with butterflies and she thought her heart would beat right out of her chest as, for the first time, Kiara lay facing her as she went to sleep.

=====================================================================

While Reine may have accepted her apology last night, Kiara still hadn't made things right. Reine looked like she must have gained thirty pounds since their vacation started and every single pound was Kiara's fault so it was only right that she helped Reine lose them again. She had tried as hard as she could to think of a way to bring up the topic gently but she had no luck and she was running out of time. Breakfast was in just a few minutes and Kiara needed to get Reine on the right path as soon as possible. So, for the second time since arriving at Kronii's house, Kiara steeled her resolve and approached Reine.

"Hey, Reine, could I talk to you again? I think it's really important, for both of us." Kiara had managed to deliver her opening with much more confidence this time. Reine, however, was nervous enough for both of them. Both of us?! Does she mean... Reine's heart was on the verge of exploding as she tried to calmly reply.

"S-sure, Kiara. What's up, buddy?" Buddy? God why am I so cringe?

"I don't really know how to say this but..." Oh my god, this is it! She's really going to confess to me!

"Go ahead, it's okay."

"I'm really not saying this to be mean, I swear, but... It's about your weight." Reine's heart skipped a beat. She noticed! I knew she was into this. Reine's excitement was reaching a fever pitch.

"G-go on..." Reine's mouth was going dry.

"I'm really sorry to just bring it up like this but I really think it will be better if I say it. You were, what, all the way down to one fifteen I think you said when vacation started, right?" Kiara was struggling to maintain eye contact. Of course she was Reine's friend but topics like this were still very sensitive.

"Yeah that's true." And I'm so much bigger now for you.

"Well umm... Don't you think maybe you are getting a little... chubby?" Kiara put her hand on Reine's back in an attempt to soften the blow.

"W-what?" Reine was reeling. This wasn't a confession of love. This wasn't even attraction. Kiara wasn't turned on by her expanding body, Kiara really thought she was losing control. Kiara was pitying her. Something inside of Reine snapped. What the fuck?! "Are you saying I'm fat?" Reine's tone changed from cheerful to bewildered and the angry undertone wasn't lost on Kiara.

"I'm really sorry, please don't take this the wrong way. I just... I wasn't sure if maybe you didn't notice or maybe you needed a little help to get back on track..." Why did I do this? Why am I wording it like it's her fault? Kiara had chickened out of confessing the real truth and now things were spiraling out of control fast.

"What the hell, Kiara?" To be denied her love confession only to be insulted on top of it was too much for Reine to handle. "I've never, ever... I thought we were friends! What the hell was last night? I hold you while you cry in my arms and all you have to say this morning is 'Hey Reine, looking pretty fat today?' What the fuck is wrong with you?" Reine was yelling at the top of her lungs by this point.

"No, Reine, please don't be mad. I'm not insulting you at all, I'm just trying to-"

"Yeah well I sure feel insulted. You really are a jerk, you know that?" Reine stormed out of the bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

Ahh, fuck. Way to go, genius.

=====================================================================

Kronii didn't hear the beginning of the fight but she certainly heard the end of it as Reine started to yell. Just as she was about to go see what was happening she heard the door slam and Reine begin stomping down the hall coming in her direction. For the sake of Reine's privacy, Kronii tried to play it cool as Reine entered the kitchen.

"Morning. I got takeout breakf-" Kronii's attempt at a smooth opening was quickly canned as Reine rather rudely ripped the offered food bag straight out of Kronii's hands and stormed out of the kitchen just as angrily as she entered. Whatever happened in the bedroom must have been pretty bad. With her curiosity growing, and approaching Reine clearly out of the question, Kronii decided to try and fish some info out of Kiara instead under the guise of delivering breakfast.

Kronii took a second bag from the table and walked down the hall. She stopped with her hand already raised to knock as she heard a sound from within. Kiara was crying and it sounded pretty severe. Kronii was torn. Kiara was her friend but Kronii really didn't do all this 'emotional' stuff. Kiara's sobbing was getting worse by the second as Kronii stood at the door. She grit her teeth and knocked, she couldn't let Kiara be in distress like this even if the conversation was going to be super lame. Kronii had only knocked once before hearing footsteps pounding towards the door instantly, Kronii didn't even have time to put her arm back down before Kiara threw open the door.

"Reine, thank god, I..." Kiara's tear stained face contorted in fresh new pain as she saw it was Kronii at the door instead.

"Uh, hey Kiara. I brought some breakf-" For the second time, Kronii's breakfast offering was interrupted as Kiara unceremoniously closed the door in her face. "I'll uhh.. I'll just leave it here!" Kronii called through the door, the sounds of Kiara's crying were her only reply.

=====================================================================

"The nerve to *mmph* call me fat when she *smack* is the one who *crunch* wanted me this way." Reine was ranting and raving as she angrily shoved food into her mouth as fast as she could. "I'm not even *mmm* as fat as she is." Reine had never been so angry in her life. She had spent this entire vacation trying to be the perfect partner for Kiara and all she got in return was insulted? Her rage was interrupted for just a fleeting moment as the first taste of soda hit her taste buds. Reine had given up soda entirely for her diet and she hadn't tasted its sweet nectar in so long. The bliss quickly faded however as she replayed her argument with Kiara in her mind again. That hypocritical bitch. It felt harsh to use such a strong word for a friend. If they even were friends, Reine wasn't sure what they were anymore. Everything about this trip had been so confusing and the amount of stress eating she was doing to cope was only growing.

Why do I always do these things to myself? Kiara felt like the biggest idiot to ever live. Why couldn't I just leave well enough alone? Everything was fine between her and Reine last night and now she had just gone and ruined it again. To make things worse, Kiara didn't even know what to do this time. Their night of drunken debauchery had been a mistake and easy enough to forgive, but this? Kiara had personally attacked her. An apology and some waterworks wasn't going to just smooth everything over this time. And the worst part was it took ruining everything for Kiara to realize what she had been trying to deny the whole time. This raging storm of emotions wasn't just being upset over a friendship. She was in love.

=====================================================================

"Kroniichiwa~" Reine exclaimed in a purposely over-loud voice.

"Yes, Kroniichiwa everyone, hello. Reine is with us of course but Kiara is still feeling uhh sick again today so it's just the two of us. How's everyone doing?" Kronii watched as the chat filled up with the usual suspects. Reine's viewers however were a bit... strange.

'What's Reine eating today?'
'Turkey eating sounds as usual wwww'
A red super chat came in saying 'Food money for Reine'
'Benar-benar berpegang teguh pada diet itu hari ini juga?'

Kronii couldn't understand Indonesian, to her it always looked like when you accidentally had one your hands off the home row keys, but she understood the English comments well enough. Though Reine herself might not realize it, she was being bullied. Or maybe she did realize it? To be honest, Kronii couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on with Reine. Just a couple morning ago she was stomping mad at Kiara but now she was happy as a clam. She had lost a significant amount of weight for this big vacation but now seemed content, if not intent on, gaining it all back. She certainly didn't seem to care at all about what or how much she ate. She seemed to be eating twenty four hours a day.

Reine launched into talking about what she was eating with what sounded to Kronii like genuine enthusiasm. As if describing exactly how she was ruining her diet was bringing her pleasure. Worse still, her fans seemed to be outright encouraging it. It was fine to be happy and comfortable with yourself but that doesn't mean encouraging unhealthy behavior. Maybe I really should try to have a talk with Reine.

=====================================================================

"Kiara, Kiara, stop. It's okay." Reine said calmly.

"W-what?" Kiara couldn't believe it. That's it? Kiara hadn't even gotten five percent into her long, planned out apology yet.

"Yes, it's fine. The other day was just a big misunderstanding, that's all. If anything, I'm the one who should be sorry for overreacting."

"No, you don't have to apologize at all! I was being such a bitch to you and-" Reine interrupted Kiara yet again by pulling her into a hug this time.

"Shh, shh, shh, it's okay." Reine lowered her voice to speak gently while they embraced. "I understand everything now." Reine honestly couldn't believe how stupid she had been for the last few days. Of course Kiara hadn't been insulting her. Kiara was acknowledging her. Kiara was always trying to be domineering over the other girls, she even wanted everybody to call her mommy. Kiara's comment that morning had sounded insulting because it was supposed to, teasing was part of Kiara's kink. Reine felt so foolish for not seeing it until now. The snide remarks at dinner, the slight looks of disgust whenever she had touched Reine's belly. It was all part of a game that Reine just hadn't been playing correctly. But now she understood everything perfectly.

"I'm feeling really hungry." Reine spoke just above a whisper into Kiara's ear.

"D-didn't we just eat lunch?" This sudden change in tone caught Kiara completely off guard.

"I know but... I just can't stop eating recently." Reine smirked as she felt Kiara's chest starting to heave.

"M-maybe there's still s-some more food in the kitchen." Kiara was having trouble speaking properly as she felt heat welling between her legs.

"Oh? You really think I should get more? I don't know..." Reine dropped her voice so low it was just barely audible. "I think I'm starting to get a little fat." Reine could barely contain her smug satisfaction. Kiara was so flustered she couldn't speak at all.

"You won't tell anyone, right? It will be our little secret?" Kiara's mouth was going dry as she subconsciously rubbed her thighs together. Why was Reine talking to her like this so hot?

"N-no, never." Kiara managed to stutter out.

"Good. I'll be back soon." Reine gave a light breathy chuckle as she broke their hug to leave the room.

As soon as she closed the door, Reine fell back against it on the other side. Finally she could let out the heavy breathing she had been containing all that time. Reine's fat teasing talk was a complete success in melting Kiara but it was also having a rather unexpected side effect. It was turning Reine on too, and it wasn't from thinking about Kiara either. It was from thinking about the food. Reine lifted her shirt and saw just how badly her belly was flowing over the top of her pants. God I hope my waistline can survive this...

=====================================================================

Kronii couldn't do it. There was just no way, it was too awkward, too cringe. Tomorrow was the girls’ last full day here and Kronii still hadn't mustered up the will to confront Reine about her weight. But she had an idea of someone who could.

"I was talking to Fauna on discord last night and she was really bummed out that she didn't get to come up and see you guys. So I was thinking, what if the three of us go down to her?" Kronii pitched her perfect idea during dinner. "We could have a big road trip through all the states you guys didn't get to see and I've never been to. We could spend a week on the road and then a week at Fauna's place. She could invite Mumei over too. What do you think?"

"That sounds really fun!" Kiara exclaimed. Even more time with Reine...

"Yah tha whoul be shuper cull!" Reine said with her mouthful. All the restaurants we could stop at... 

"Okay, great. We will leave the morning after tomorrow." Kronii was feeling pretty proud of herself for yet another perfect idea. She just hoped Fauna could talk some sense into Reine when they got there. If Reine can still fit through the door...

=====================================================================

The last three days had been a whirlwind of fun for Reine. Kronii's plan had them on a seven day trip, stopping in a new state each day until they got to Fauna's place. So far they had been to New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. and Reine had a great time getting to see all the sights and visit all the tourist traps. Not to mention all the food they got along the way. Unfortunately for Reine on the morning of the fourth day, all the countless food items Reine had been eating on this vacation finally mentioned themselves. No matter how hard Reine tried, she couldn't fit in her pants. Any of her pants. Not even the formerly-loose stretchy sweatpants that had been serving as her saving grace for the past couple weeks could make the trip up her thighs. While she had been having fun cutting loose and eating whatever she wanted, and getting to tease Kiara while doing it, this reality check was a harsh one and Reine wasn't taking it well.

She was currently in the hotel bathroom trying not to freak out. Kiara and Kronii had been having such a good time on their road trip so far and Reine would hate to ruin it by having a meltdown. She just had to stay calm. All she had to do was convince the girls to do some shopping today and she could slip away to a clothing store to get some replacements, everything would be fine. There were two hitches in Reine's plan however. First, she didn't actually know what her measurements were now, and second, she was in America. America used its own sizes for clothes and Reine had no idea how it worked. She found a chart online and tried her best to do some conversions. By her estimate, before her diet she would have been a US women's size eight. Her weight before her diet was the biggest she had ever been in her life so buying a few pairs of size eight pants as well a few new shirts to last her until she was home again should be fine and not too expensive.

Until she got into her new clothes, however, drastic measures would have to be taken. Though it pained her to ruin such a nice pair of pants, she had to do it. She cut a small notch in the waistband, just enough to sever the elastic and allow just enough room to fit her expanded thighs and ass into the pants. She pulled her shirt down to cover her modification and noted with dismay just how little extra shirt there was to pull down. Don't cry. Just don't cry. Everything is going to be fine. She looked in the small mirror to make sure her eyes weren't starting to turn red and made her move. She walked out into the main room to present her idea.

"I don't know about you guys but going on such a big trip without doing any shopping seems pretty boring, don't you think? We should get some, like, really cool American clothes!" Reine tried her best to make her voice sound as excited as possible.

"American clothes?" Kiara asked.

"I'm pretty sure Americans wear clothes just like we do, Reine." Kronii replied, her voice dripping with her trademark disinterest.

"N-no, you know..." Shit, I'm losing them. What kind of girls don't want to go shopping? "You know like Americans always wear, like, cool shirts with eagles and stuff on them, right?"

"I haven't seen a single person wearing a shirt with an eagle on it and if I did I would make fun of them." Kronii replied, turning back to her phone.

"Oh, come oooonnnnnnnn. I really want to go shopping!" Left with no other choice, Reine resorted to whining. "Don't you want to take us shopping, mommy Kiwawa?" Reine asked in her best uwu voice.

"God kill me now." Kronii groaned.

"Okay, okay, I'll admit I kind of want to go shopping too." Kiara relented. Reine turned and looked expectantly at Kronii.

"Oh my god, fine. Let's go shopping." Kronii finally replied. Big Braine every time.

=====================================================================

Reine knew it was a rude thing to do but she really didn't want her true intentions to be discovered. She waited until Kronii and Kiara were sufficiently distracted and slipped off, backtracking to a clothing store they had just passed a few minutes ago. This mall was enormous and Reine would have plenty of time before the girls ever managed to find her. Reine began scanning the aisles for anything that resembled clothes she already owned, specifically the pants she was wearing, she didn't want her cover blown right at the finish line. Unfortunately she couldn't seem to find anything like them anywhere in the store. Everything was either a different color, or a different fabric or the legs were shorter, nothing matched what she needed. She heard her phone notification sound and started to get nervous, the girls must be looking for her now. In the midst of her desperation, a kind, older looking American woman approached her.

"Excuse me, miss. Can I help you with anything?" Reine gleaned from the woman's name tag that her name was Beth and that she was an employee.

"Yes, actually, I'm looking for some pants like these ones I'm wearing." Reine lifted her leg a bit and pulled on the stretchy fabric. "I need them in a size eight."

"Size eight? Are these pants for you?" Beth asked.

"Yes, for me. These ones got a rip in them and I'm just looking for a few replacements." Reine made a quick cover story, though she wasn't exactly sure why she felt the need to justify herself to an employee.

"Well, honey, don't take this the wrong way now but... I think maybe you might be better off with a size fourteen. Maybe even a sixteen if you want them a bit loose. But you can find sweatpants right over there." Beth had a look of sympathy on her face as she made her suggestion and pointed toward the clothing selections.

"O-oh... Okay, th-thank you..." Reine could feel her face going beat red as she quickly raced away from the employee. She was so humiliated. Sixteen? That's twice the size of eight! God I must look like a whale... Reine's assumption about how the sizing worked was incorrect but, in her shame-fueled emotional panic, Reine took it as fact. She grabbed a few pairs of pants off the racks and dashed to the fitting rooms as quickly as she could. She didn't know how long she could hold back her emotions.

Meanwhile, Kiara could feel her heart in her throat. When she messaged Reine to ask where she went, she heard a phone go off in a clothing store right next to her. Following where she thought the sound came from, she spotted Reine. Kiara quickly hid herself among a clothing rack a short distance away and waited for the perfect opportunity to jump out and scare Reine but Kiara was the one who ended up shocked however as she witnessed the entire exchange between Reine and Beth. Size sixteen? That's the largest size this store carries. Reine is almost too fat for normal clothes. Kiara was reeling. This all started from Kiara wanting Reine to be bigger than she was but she never thought Reine would get fat fat. The other shocking part to Kiara about the whole thing was herself. Kiara had never been more turned on. The clear embarrassment in Reine's voice and the look of shame on her face when she turned around made Kiara weak in the knees. Something about seeing Reine be so humiliated was driving her wild.

Kiara knew this was wrong. She knew she shouldn't be doing this. But she made absolutely no attempt to stop her legs as they carried her straight to the fitting rooms. She grabbed some random shirt off a rack on the way just to avoid suspicion but she had no intention of trying it on. The only thing she wanted inside of was Reine. Her sex crazed stampede towards Reine's fitting room was stalled just inches away from her goal. Just before she slammed through the door she heard noise from inside the stall. Reine was crying. Kiara's emotions were suddenly thrown for a loop. She was still desperately horny for Reine but now all that guilt she had finally managed to push aside came flooding back. This really was her fault still, and that meant Reine crying right now was her fault too. That wasn't the only thing she felt guilty about, however. She also felt guilty that the sound of Reine's crying only made her hornier. I'm such a freak... She heard Reine stirring inside the stall and quickly rushed back out of the fitting rooms, tossed the shirt on a random rack and practically sprinted out of the store.

"Hey, did you find her?" Kronii just barely managed to avoid Kiara barrelling straight into her.

"N-no, I didn't."

=====================================================================

"No Fauna, I meant Snail looks really cute!"

"Mumei, you literally said you wanted to eat my cat."

"No I didn't! I meant like, you know, like oh my god that little cat is so cute I just want to eat him up. You know?"

"You said Snail looked 'delicious!'"

"He does!"

Fauna and Mumei's conversation was cut short by the doorbell. Fauna's neighbors were treated to a cacophony of excited screams as all the girls greeted each other.

"Wow, your place really looks incredible, Fauna. Everything is spotless." Kiara was amazed at how neat and tidy Fauna kept everything in the house.

"Yeah, I almost don't want to touch anything and ruin it." Reine added.

"No, it's okay. Mumei has already been making herself at home so don't worry about it." Fauna said with the slightest hint of irritation. "I only have two spare rooms upstairs so two of you will have to be together and the other can share with Mumei."

"We'll share." Kiara and Reine were almost in perfect unison. Kronii gave only an exasperated sigh as she saw Mumei's face light up.

"I have a second full bathroom upstairs as well so everything should be fine on that front. It has a shower and bathtub, and a little closet for towels. It has a scale too if any of you need one." Kronii shot Fauna an annoyed look. Kronii had messaged Fauna about her concerns with Reine's weight and Fauna assured her that she would be able to broach the subject gracefully.

'What the hell was that?' Kronii mouthed to Fauna.

"Oooo, sounds great." Reine replied. She gave a nervous chuckle and tried to keep her emotions in check, her humiliating experience at the store the other day was still really sticking with her and the mention of a scale wasn't helping. "Kiara, could you help me bring the bags upstairs?"

"Sure." Ever since the store incident, Kiara had been making sure to be extra attentive to anything Reine needed. It was her fault that Reine cried that day and Kiara felt like this was a small way to atone. Kiara and Reine wrangled up their stuff and made the trip upstairs.

"Oh my god, what happened? Reine has gotten really..." Fauna didn't want to say a friend of hers was 'fat,' that would be dreadfully rude, but it was the first thought she had. "A little chunky."

"It's more than a 'little,' Fauna. She's fat." Kronii replied in her typical crass fashion. "She's been eating everything constantly. I don't think I saw her without food in her mouth even once in the past two weeks."

"I wonder if she would eat me..." Mumei pondered out loud with a strange glint in her eyes.

"...Mumei..."

=====================================================================

Should I? The bathroom did have a scale on the floor, just like Fauna said. Reine wanted to look but at the same time she was terrified of what the number might say. She tapped the scale with her foot and the scale turned on. It won't be that bad. Telling herself that seemed to be quickly becoming her mantra. She took a deep breath and got on the scale.

"One. Hundred. And. Eighty. Two. Pounds." Reine was so startled by the scale reading the number out loud she jumped off the scale and slammed into the bathroom door. But she wasn't startled enough to miss the number. ONE EIGHTY TWO?! Reine was in full panic. The most she had ever weighed was one hundred sixty five and now she shot past that by almost twenty pounds. Fauna's bathroom also featured a full size mirror and Reine was currently staring at it in disbelief. One eighty two... Not only was she now over her starting weight, she was almost closer to two hundred. Reine had never experienced a panic attack before but she thought she might be having one now, she almost couldn't breathe.

She looked huge. How had she never seen it before? Reine brought her hand to her chin in shock, cringing as she could easily grab a second. She took off her shirt and pants. She almost didn't believe the person in the mirror was her. When did this happen? Yeah she had needed to buy bigger clothes but... but this? She wasn't wearing a bra, all the bras she had brought with her had started to get very uncomfortable back at Kronii's house. She knew girls with large breasts complained that not wearing a bra always hurt their back so Reine had counted herself blessed that she had been experiencing hardly any back pain at all, but now she knew why. They were resting partially on top of a giant belly. Reine grabbed a handful of flab on her lower belly, completely overwhelmed by the idea that this mass of fat was really attached to her. She shook it and was horrified at the sight of her entire body jiggling wildly. She was so proud of her trim, tight tummy when she was wearing her bikini on that first day of vacation so long ago and now all she had was this bulging gut with unsightly rolls of fat forming under her chest. She also had a permanent muffin top, her belly hanging over her hips even when she wasn't wearing pants. She was wearing panties, not that you could easily tell from the front. Her lower belly was starting to hang down low enough to keep her decent even in the nude with the help of her thighs. They had grown so thick and wide that they touched almost halfway down to her knees, jiggling at even the slightest movement. She didn't even want to think about how big her ass must be. Why didn't anybody tell me I had gotten this bad? She didn't want to look but she had to know. As she turned to the side she felt her jaw go slack. Her ass jutted off her like a shelf, so big she thought she could even balance a glass on it. Her ass was bigger than Moona's. I'm bigger than... Reine felt bad to think about it but before her diet whenever she was feeling bad about her body she would calm herself down by thinking that at least she wasn't as big as Ollie. But now she was. Now she was fat.

What should I do? Should I go in? Kiara was standing outside of the bathroom door and listening intently. The scale had read Reine's weight loud enough for Kiara to hear it and, after a slam on the door, the bathroom had been dead silent since then. Kiara knew Reine wasn't taking it well but she wasn't sure if Reine would want her to come in and try to comfort her. Not to mention Kiara wasn't sure if she would be able to contain herself. One hundred and eighty two pounds. Kiara had been awoken back at the mall to this new 'fat fetish' she apparently had and it was developing very quickly. In her perversion upon hearing the number, Kiara looked it up on her phone. At her height, that weight gave Reine a BMI of thirty. Reine was officially medically obese and Kiara was squirming at the thought. It was taking all the self control she had not to throw open the door and ravish Reine right there on the bathroom floor. Kiara's hand was halfway down the front of her shorts before she even consciously realized what she was doing. What the fuck is wrong with me?

=====================================================================

"Konfaunaaaaaa~" Day two of their stay at Fauna's was the big collab stream with everybody, all five of the girls were going to play a horror game with each of them wearing a heart rate monitor, a chat favorite feature. Fauna had never had this many viewers before, fans of each girl were here to watch and chat was going absolutely crazy. Unfortunately, this many chatters meant that many more critical eyes.

'Four?'
'Only four heart monitors are showing?'
'I can't believe Mumei is dead.'

"I'm not dead, you guys!" Mumei was cracking up at the chat.

'I can still hear her voice...'
'Is Reine eating yet? Did I miss any burps?'
'Stuff the turkey!'

"Sorry everyone slight delay here, Reine is having a little trouble with her monitor." Fauna told the audience. The sounds of grunts and straining could be heard from the girls and chat was getting rambunctious.

'God I wish that was me'
'Reine's doesn't fit wwww'
'I wonder how much she weighs now'
'We won!'
'We still love you Reine!'
'Is one of the other monitors broken?'

The chat was referring to the fourth monitor on display which was showing a number much much higher than the others. Kiara's monitor. She could control her breathing but she couldn't hide her racing heart as she took in the scene. The monitor straps were pretty small and all four of the other girls were trying in vain to fasten Reine's around her enlarged chest. Even Kiara's own 'fasten it under the breasts' technique wasn't working. Reine looked to be taking it in stride but Kiara could tell from her eyes that Reine was mortified that this was all happening on stream. The public humiliation was activating Kiara's neurons and everyone in chat could see it happening. Finally the girls managed to get Reine's monitor on and the stream was ready to go and Kiara was calming down. Reine started eating during a slower part of the game and chat started getting rowdy again.

'Reine's heart rate...'
'Is Reine okay?'
'Are potato chips really that exciting? wwww'
'She was doing so good on her diet...'

Reine wasn't blind, she knew what the chat was saying. She was pretending it didn't bother her like usual but this time she had a heart rate monitor exposing her true feelings as the number began to rise.

'Looks like tubby is finally having a heart attack'
'Someone call an ambulance!'
'Kiara's is going up too'
'Is something happening off camera?'
'Why do all the girls pick Phasmophobia to get fingered during?'

Reine's heart monitor went from very high to zero instantly as she took off the monitor and leaned off camera. Chat could hear Reine saying something to Fauna but no one could make it out. A few seconds later Reine's monitor display was removed from the stream entirely.

"Sorry everyone, Reine is umm, Reine said she is feeling sick all of a sudden so she is going to go lie down." Fauna explained to the audience.

'Tummy ache?'
'Her doordash must be here www'
'Cover should really get you girls your own gym memberships.'

Reine wasn't even here anymore and still chat was relentlessly bullying her. Kiara was having trouble keeping her composure, in more ways than one.

"I'm gonna go check on Reine, you guys keep playing." Kiara excused herself from the stream and as soon as she was off camera she almost broke into a sprint.

=====================================================================

Kiara opened the bedroom door to find Reine sitting on the bed.

"Reine? Can I come in?" Kiara asked in a gentle voice. Reine didn't respond verbally but she nodded. Kiara entered the room and sat down next to Reine on the bed.

"Are you okay?" Kiara put a hand on Reine's back and rubbed it in a small, slow circle. Reine shook her head no and started to sniffle.

"It's okay, Reine, don't listen to those guys. Chat are always a bunch of assholes." Kiara pulled Reine into a hug and held Reine's head against her chest.

"I don't know what to do anymore..." Reine's voice was quiet and weak but she spoke for the first time.

"Do about what?" Kiara lowered her voice to match Reine's volume. "Tell me what's going on."

"I... I don't know if I should tell you..." Reine's voice didn't sound sad so much as it did almost scared.

"You can always tell me anything, Reine. You know that." Kiara moved her left hand up to rub Reine's left arm a few times.

"I don't want to ruin everything." For the first time Reine made eye contact. She wasn't crying but Kiara almost wished she was as the actual look in her eyes made her feel even worse. Reine looked completely lost, like a child who got separated from their mom in the grocery store. Guilt washed over Kiara as she was once again responsible for her friend being upset.

"I'm sorry." Kiara couldn't keep trying to run away from this anymore. She had to come clean and she had to do it now.

"It's not your fault, those jerks in chat just wouldn't-" Reine's absolution of Kiara was cut short.

"No, it is. It is my fault. All of this... Those people in chat bullying you, it's because of me. When you were sad after we went shopping the other day, it's because of me. That night on the train... Every single time you've been upset on this whole trip has always been my fault and I just... I don't even deserve to be your friend." Kiara took her hands off of Reine, a terrible person like herself wasn't fit to be anywhere near Reine let alone touch her. Even if she was kicked out and never spoken to again it would still be too kind. Despite her internal flagellation, Kiara found their roles reversed as Reine wrapped her arms around her.

"Of course you are my friend. You've always been my friend, Kiara." Strength was returning to Reine's voice as she tried to be reassuring, witnessing Kiara's weakness allowing her to forget her own.

"I haven't been a friend to you at all since we got to the resort. All I've done is be a stupid bitch to you. When you showed up looking all skinny and amazing and you had lost so much weight I was jealous. When I invited you on this trip it really was because I wanted to spend time with you but I also..." Kiara trailed off. Reine could see the pain each and every word was etching on her face.

"It's okay, you can tell me." Reine took one of Kiara's hands and squeezed it firmly.

"All the other girls in EN are so trim and fit and I always look so fat next to them and I just... I wanted to be the skinny friend for once. It was so selfish and stupid of me and I know that now but at the time I was so mad seeing you with your perfect body and... and I wanted to ruin it..." Kiara's heart was pounding at a million miles an hour. She was sure Reine was going to storm out of the room and never speak to her again. To her surprise Reine didn't leave. She didn't even get mad. Reine only stroked her thumb over Kiara's knuckles and waited for her to continue.

"That restaurant at the resort I kept taking you to, all those times I urged you to have seconds at Ina's house... I wanted to make you fat. I wanted to make you fat so people would pay attention to me instead. So I could be popular like you were that day on the beach. But then on the train your... weight started to be noticeable and I...." Kiara had been coming to terms with her new fetish for Reine's gaining but it was still embarrassing for her and she wasn't sure how to talk about it. As it happened, she didn't need to.

"You wanted me to get fat because you like it." Reine said matter of factly. Kiara's heart skipped a beat.

"You knew?!" Kiara felt like an idiot all over again. She had been agonizing about this for weeks when she could have just said something the first day.

"Yes. You aren't as subtle as you think. I'm not stupid, you know?" Reine didn't look mad at all, she even chuckled a little at her slight jab.

"T-then why did you...?" Kiara was completely overwhelmed by this revelation.

"Because I wanted you too." Reine said as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "Wasn't it obvious?"

"I.. I don't..."

"Did you really think I lost all that weight just for me? Sure the feeling of achievement was nice but you were always my real motivation. I wanted to look amazing for you. So when I figured out that you wanted me to gain a little weight I thought that's all I would have to do for you to be mine." Reine lifted Kiara's chin to look her straight in the eyes. "Kiara, I love you."

"R-Reine I.. I can't believe..." Reine's lips were soft and warm as they pressed against hers ever so gently. Kiara's breath caught in her throat and for a moment she thought she might pass out. Kiara had been lusting after Reine for weeks and now they were finally together. It was no accident this time, this time it was for real. Kiara pulled her mouth away just long enough to speak. "I love you too."

Kiara could almost see fireworks in Reine's eyes before she closed hers to lock lips with Reine again as they both fell back to lay on the bed. This wasn't the poor decision making of two drunken birds, this was two passionate lovers. This was real and Kiara could feel how much that difference made. Every subtle movement of Reine's slightly nervous hands gliding over her body was electrifying. The soft, wet smacking sounds of their lips moving against each other was like the overture to the most beautiful opera Kiara had ever heard. Each and every inch of Reine's soft fat under her hands was like sinking into a cloud. Kiara didn't know if it had been minutes or hours or years before their lips finally parted again and the two lovers lay next to each other, panting as they stared deeply into each other's eyes. For the first time in Kiara's life she felt real, true love.

=====================================================================

Reine had told Kiara everything that night. All the feelings she had been having about Kiara and even about food, just as Kiara had revealed her true feelings as well. Now that their relationship had a clean state they had finally started exploring their more intimate desires together. And one of Reine's desires was to be a scamp.

"Mmmm, Fauna this food is soooo good." Reine flashed her seductive eyes at Kiara for a moment before continuing.

"I could just eat here forever. I'll be the size of the house if you keep giving me all this food." Reine knew all about Kiara's lust for her body now, and she knew exactly what buttons she could push. It was only the second night of them being 'official' and their relationship was still a secret but Reine was anything but subtle about pushing Kiara's more sexual buttons. "Could you pass the gravy?" Unfortunately for Reine she was about to learn that teasing Kiara wasn't going to be as easy as she thought.

"Umm, about that..." Kiara looked at the other girls one at a time before turning back to Reine. "I think maybe we should have a little talk." Kiara's face was painted with concern and she spoke with some hesitation in her voice.

"A talk?" Reine was caught completely off guard as the energy at the table changed so severely. She took another bite of food almost reflexively to calm her stirring nerves.

"Me and the other girls had a discussion yesterday and we've been noticing that..." Kiara paused as if she was searching for the right words to say. "Reine don't you think you've maybe gotten a little... chubby?" Reine almost choked on her food. She had come to terms with the fact that Kiara enjoyed her larger body but it was still embarrassing to have it brought up outside of the bedroom, especially in front of the girls like this. And even worse, Kiara's words were having another effect. Reine tried to keep her voice from betraying the twitch in her nethers.

"N-no..." Reine replied weakly. She felt like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar, and she had been eating far too many cookies.

"I mean, I have to agree with Kiara. You have really been eating a lot, Reine." Count on Kronii to always be delicate.

"I promise we aren't saying this to be mean but we are just concerned for you. You worked so hard on your diet and now you... You are kind of letting yourself go." No matter how softly Fauna spoke, her words still had the same effect on Reine. Both emotionally and sexually.

"I just... you know I'm on vacation and..." Reine could hardly speak she was so embarrassed.

"Reine, it's okay, we are here for you. We are still your friends, no matter how fat you are getting." Fauna shot Kiara a strong glare but Kiara was undeterred. "Kronii goes to the gym, I'm sure she could help you burn off all that extra belly."

Reine couldn't believe this. She was being fat shamed by her own friends and teased in public by her own girlfriend. Reine didn't know if she was about to cry or cum. She pressed her thighs together tightly and tried to stay calm. Kiara held her glass to her mouth to hide the wicked grin forming on her face.

"Aww, don't cry Reine, it's okay, really. Plenty of girls get fat and out of shape on vacation. You weighed, what, one fifteen when we got to the Maldives? I'm sure lots of people have gained almost seventy pounds in two months."

“Seventy?!” Kronii repeated in disbelief.

"P-please stop..." Reine couldn't make eye contact with Kiara. Her breathing was fast and erratic and she had a hand pressed firmly against the crotch of her pants under the table. If Kiara kept going like this...

"Stop it, Kiara, you are going to make her cry!" Mumei mistook Reine's plea and body language as a cry for help.

"Yeah, Kiara, that's pretty mean. It's not Reine's fault she's been surrounded by so much food for your whole trip. I'm sure anyone would be having a problem resisting temptation." Fauna really was concerned for Reine and wanted to help her, but she didn't think this was the right way to go about it.

"I don't know about that. Kiara doesn't look like she's even gained a single pound." Kronii pointed out. "I think maybe Reine just needs some help learning self-control."

"I... s-s-..." Reine couldn't take it anymore. She got up from the table and walked as fast as she could out of the room and went upstairs. Kiara could have easily been mistaken for the Cheshire Cat as she noticed Reine's awkward gait.

"Oh no, I think I went too far. I didn't think she would take it so hard. I should go apologize to her." Kiara said, excusing herself from the table to follow after her secret lover.

=====================================================================

Kiara entered the bedroom to find her chubby girlfriend with her hand shoved down the front of her pants.

"Oh my, did a certain little girl enjoy being teased too much?" Kiara put on her best breathy voice as she sauntered over to the bed. "Though perhaps I shouldn't be calling you little."

"*hah hah* K-Kiara..." Reine was completely red in the face and sweating as she desperately worked her hand against her wet pussy.

"What is it, piggy?" Kiara teased in a sultry whisper.

"P-piggy?!" All the muscles in Reine's body were beginning to seize and flex on their own. The humiliation at the dinner table was so hot that Reine was already close. Unfortunately for the poor, sex-drunk turkey, finishing wasn't going to be so easy. Kiara slipped out of her pants and got on the bed. Kiara pulled Reine's hand out of her pants and climbed up on top of Reine, straddling her and pinning both her wrists above her head on the bed.

"Oh, is that not what you are? Could have fooled me." Kiara gave an icy chuckle as she looked down into Reine's eyes beneath her.

"Kiara p-please..." Reine was desperately squirming, she had been right on the edge and she wanted so badly to finish.

"Please what?" Kiara started to rock her hips back and forth, grinding against Reine's belly.

"I... I need to..." Reine couldn't barely even form words. The burning fire in her pussy mixed with the sight and feeling of Kiara humping her was overloading the pleasure center of her brain.

"I really can't understand you, tubby. Are you talking with your mouth full again?" Reine could feel a growing wet patch on her belly.

"Please let me cum." Reine finally managed to get out between gasps.

"Ooooh, why didn't you just say so? What a needy little piglet I have." Kiara released her hold on Reine's wrists and let her fingertips glide down the length of Reine's upper body, stopping to squeeze and caress at her breasts and again at her mound of belly fat. Eventually her hand's slow journey ended at her target. She pushed Reine's pants further down her thighs and Reine's entire body spasmed as Kiara's hand found her white hot honey pot. Kiara playfully teased her fingers over Reine's engorged clitoris. Reine's now-freed arms were flailing, writhing against the bed, Kiara's body, even her own fat as Reine completely lost control of her body and her senses as Kiara kept her right on the edge of bliss. Reine's sexual rapture was replaced with pure agony as Kiara pulled her hand away again.

"Hmmm, you know... You left dinner pretty early. I bet my little butter princess is just aching for dessert." Kiara paused to give a strong pinch to Reine's love button and grinned as Reine uncontrollably arched her back hard enough to lift Kiara off the bed with her. "I'll be riiiight back. No touching, now.” Kiara bent down to whisper right in Reine’s ear. “You don't want to find out what mommy does to bad little pigs." Kiara climbed off her and left the room.

Reine's legs were shaking as she desperately rubbed them together. She wasn't sure she could wait any longer. She balled up the bedsheets in her clenched fists as all the things the girls said to her at dinner played through her mind again. Kiara was taking so much control over her so quickly it was almost scary. Reine almost cried out in joy as Kiara finally came back holding a somewhat large box.

"Fauna told me about this little bakery in town and I snuck out this morning for this." Kiara opened the box to reveal a large, double layer chocolate cake.

"Th-thank you, mommy, b-but can't we f-f...." Reine was trying so hard to make the words, to beg Kiara to finish her.

"Don't talk back, now, piglet. Come on, get on your hands and knees." Kiara replied, making a 'roll over' gesture with her finger. Reine was confused but did what she was told, getting on her hands and knees on the bed and arching her back, presenting her ass to Kiara. Kiara placed the open box on the bed in front of Reine and then walked out of sight behind her.

"Don't just stare at it, eat it." Reine heard Kiara say after a few moments.

"But you d-didn't bring me a f-fork..." Reine replied. She started looking in the box again before feeling a harsh spank on her ass.

"I said eat." Kiara demanded. Reine's face flushed bright red with shame as she realized what Kiara wanted her to do. Kiara wanted her to eat it like an animal. Like a pig. Somehow this was even more humiliating than dinner. Reine slowly put her face down into the cake and started to take a bite but her mouth stayed wide open in a loud moan as no sooner did her face enter the cake then Kiara's tongue entered Reine. Reine bucked her hips reflexively and practically squealed as she felt Kiara's tongue vigorously exploring her insides. Reine put her head back down in the cake again, letting herself be filled from both ends as her mind sank into a sea of pleasure. Her moaning and groaning only intensified as Kiara began to play with her hanging belly fat. Kiara's tongue found a very sensitive spot and Reine almost lost consciousness as her entire body bucked. Kiara didn't miss this and only teased the spot with more enthusiasm.

"K-Kiara, I'm..." Reine tried to tell Kiara that she was about to finish and received a firm squeeze on her belly in response as Kiara lashed her tongue against Reine's hot spot. Reine gripped the sheets and slid her arms forward letting her face fall fully into the cake as Kiara finally let her cum. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over Reine's body as her eyes rolled back and her body shuddered. She felt her knees give out as her powerful orgasm finally ended and she slumped down onto her stomach. Reine could only pant as Kiara placed her hands on her hips and rolled her over onto her back and then laid down on the bed next to her.

"Oh, piggy." Kiara wiped some of the cake off Reine's face with her finger and took it into her mouth before giving Reine a kiss. "I'm going to make you so fat."
