Tim, a man of 32 years, with a girth that rivaled a small planet was a sight to behold. At 450 pounds, his body was a testament to his love for food. He was used to the stares, the whispers, and the occasional incredulous gaze. Today was no different as he made his way through the line, piling his tray high with food.
His eyes, a warm brown, seemed to light up in the presence of food. Today, as usual, he was the center of attention in the campus cafeteria. Two slices of pizza, three cheeseburgers, two chicken sandwiches, a large salted pretzel, four assorted bags of chips, and a large soda was the bare minimum.
As he made his way to a corner table, he could feel the eyes of his fellow students upon his as he waddled past. A few made sure to push their chairs further in to give his wide frame room to pass by.
"Maybe if he didn't eat so much..." One person whispered. Then I'd still be hungry, he thought.
"What size pants does he wear?" Another said with a chuckle. I wear a size 58, thank you very much, Tim thought to himself.
Finally reaching the far end of the small cafeteria, he was slightly out of breath. As he sat, the small metal and plastic chair seemed to cry for help underneath him. His already large frame seemed to double in size as the fat redistributed. Suddenly, the blue graphic t he wore went from barely fitting to almost bursting at the seams.
Tim's mouth began to water as he unwrapped the first cheeseburger. Sinking his teeth into the wheat bun with the succulent beef and three pieces of cheddar cheese, his heart sang out. For a college cafeteria, this place managed to make some good food. Of course, there wasn't much he didn't like. The food was always fresh. He had heard a rumor that the cafeteria ladies who worked in this of shoot of the main student's lounge knew his schedule and made additional, fresh food for his arrival. He didn't know if that was true or not.
As easily as they had appeared on his tray, the hamburgers were gone, and the large man continued onto the pizza. As he tried to suck down the cheese and carbs while fighting back against the each, the grease fell on his already dingy shirt. A few of the nearby students tried not to laugh, and Tim seemed to almost snort and gasp for air, more concerned with eating than taking a breath.
Slowly but surely, the students began exiting the cafeteria, placing their trays on a stand nearest the hallway before continuing into class. The only other person in the small, carpeted space was Parker, one of the college's football players.
Parker was a lean and muscular 28-year-old, with dirty blonde hair and a chiseled jawline. With his piercing blue eyes and muscles that caressed every article of clothes he was wearing, he was used to the attention, but here he was on a side of the school he rarely went to, and all the attention fell on this overweight man in sweatpants. Not only did this whale of a man steal all the attention from him, but he didn't even notice him either! And yet Parker felt an all too familiar urge.
From across the room, Parker watched, his eyes wide with a mix of awe and desire. He couldn't help but be turned on by the sheer amount of food Tim was consuming. He stared at the man's round face and curly black hair, oil and grease ran down the sides of the man's face, mixing with his light stubble. The jock licked his lips and squirmed in his seat as the erection in his pants was becoming almost uncomfortable.
The pizza was gone. The chicken sandwiches were gone. The pretzel was gone. He stared, mesmerized as the food made for at least ten students was devoured by a single man. He needed to get to know this dark-haired man.
As Tim finished his last bite, Parker approached him, a smirk on his face.
"That's quite the appetite you've got there," Parker commented, approaching Tim as the man was finishing the last bag of chips.
Tim looked up, startled, his cheeks flushing a deep red. "Uh, yeah, I guess so."
Parker extended a hand. "I'm Parker. I couldn't help but notice you. You eat... a lot."
"I...I mean... I " Tim stammered. He had become accustomed to hearing the comments in passing but never to his face. Parker immediately realized he had offended him.
"That's not a problem at all!" Parker said with a genuine smile, "In fact, would you be so kind as to allow me to get you something else?"
Tim stared at the man in awe. Was he being serious? He didn't know if he could trust the well-shaped stranger before him. Before he could answer, a gurgle in his stomach interested.
"I could go for another slice of pizza," Tim said almost silently.
"Sure thing!" Parker said with a wink. And just like that, he scurried off around the corner, disappearing at the entrance of the cafeteria line.
Tim sat there for a moment, unsure of what was happening. He glanced down at the empty wrappers and the greasy Styrofoam plates that once held his pizza. That was when he noticed the crumbs and grease stains all over his shirt. He was a mess! Quickly, he wiped away the particles with his thick, meaty hands. Pulling his shirt down to cover the small sliver of stomach that had emerged, he looked back up as the strange man came around the corner with a tray of more than just pizza. His attention was drawn to a few students coming into the room with binders and pens at the ready.
"Here you go, cutie!" The man said, placing the tray on the table. Tim's eyes fell on two freshly made slices of pizza, but next to the slices were four more cheeseburgers and two donuts. It all looked so good!
"You got yourself something?" Tim asked. The jock laughed a bit.
"No, it's all for you." Parker pushed the tray towards Tim. The plus-size man was in shock and didn't know what to say. "You looked like you might still be hungry. I'm Parker, by the way."
Tim looked up, his eyes meeting Parker's. "Tim," he replied. While his eyes fixated on the adonis, his hands had already begun to lift up the pizza, "I'm not... I'm not used to this kind of attention."
