It was nothing more than a simple donut, Syd had thought. With a single taste, he felt overjoyed with what he was tasting. It was a delicacy, almost!

His eyes darted down to the next donut on the plate. The lemon-jelly-centered pastry was sitting there with a tantalizing arrogance. "Sarge won't know, will he? He's not gonna be back for a few hours."

Syd reached a hand out to grab his treasure but immediately shrugged his hand away. "No. I can't allow myself to do this again. I'm already gonna get fifty pounds from the donut I just ate, why would I want more?"

Sighing with defeat, Syd turned around and sat on the couch, finding it to be overly comfortable to him in his state of malaise.

Four days later, Syd found himself lacking the energy he used to have. He couldn't quite explain how it worked, but he just felt more lethargic. Laying on the couch, he rolled his eyes at the person questioning him.

"You know how irresistible Sarge's donuts are! He said to not touch them, but I figured 'just one donut won't hurt!'"

Syd adjusted his feet, letting them sit on the armrest. Over the past few days, he found a lot more joy in lazing around on the couch.

"I snuck one from his batch every other day..." Syd cleared his throat. "Turns out, those were 'Lazy Lemons' I kept eating. With each one I got lazier... but is that so bad?"

Syd rested his hands on his belly, watching it slowly expand and rise. "I had one just barely, too. Even after Sarge told me what the donuts did, I wanted more. He obliged this decision of mine."

Syd chortled. "I think he likes it when I'm larger -- he was vehement on giving me a belly rub or two." Syd readjusted himself, letting his belly dip off the couch a bit. "Of course, I had to oblige. Not like I wanted to stop it. It's too much effort."

A little gift for  xsyd. He helped me with a problem that I didn't even ask for help on, so I wanted to return the favor a bit!
