Warmth. That's all I could feel. Warmth all over. Warmth that enveloped me, like the siren's call, tempting me to close my eyes for five more minutes amidst the mess of blankets and bedsheets. I could use five more minutes of warmth...
But I sighed. It was time to begin the day.
With a disgruntled groan, I pushed the plush fabric encasing my body to the side. It made a thump as it flopped against the bed. I could practically feel myself sinking into the bed. But before I could succumb, I sat up. Or at least shimmied up against the headboard of the bed, just enough to hold my head above the rest of my body.
My mind was gradually warming up, gathering all the sensations from my body. First the coldness of the air in the room, once the blankets were no longer protecting me. Then the fullness. I felt stuffed. Heavy. As if the gravity notch had been cranked up during my sleep. My mind started asking questions, for which I had no answers.
How much did I eat last night? What happened after I finished that pizza? Why did my mouth still taste like strawberry?
But as much as my mind scrambled to make sense of the blur that was anything that happened between arriving back home and waking up, everything felt like a confusing dream. The distracting sense of fullness didn't help focusing on distinguishing what was true and what was a dream.
The paw that was rubbing some of the tiredness from my eyes, wandered lower and started scratching the short dark fur on my chest. It felt soft. Softer than I remembered. These late night binges must be taking quite a toll faster than I thought they would. I looked down to catch a glimpse of my softer chest where my paw was still lazily scritching, only to realize that I could feel the beginning of a double chin pressing against the base of my neck.
Maybe it was time to hit the gym.
From my chest, my paw descended lower, tracing a generous curve over the irrefutable proof that I had really let myself go in the past month. A black furry mass rose and sank perfectly synchronized with my breathing. I gave a couple of incredulous pats to the basketball-sized orb, only to see how it wobbled and jiggled, not unlike jell-o. No wonder none of my shirts fit anymore.
What I wondered is how did I not notice the damage until now.
A deep snore to my side erupted, like a volcano only to go dornant just as suddenly. At least Baloo was enjoying his five more minutes.
I figured that I had already lost enough time pondering about my physique, and it was about time I started moving. So despite the llingering fullness, I slid my heavy thighs off to the side of the bed, which acted as a counterweight for my upper body to lean forward. With a purring groan, I planted my hindpaws on the carpet and thrusted my onerous rear up and away from the mattress. Perhaps with a bit too much force...
*Uuuurp*
Too late I noticed the preasure building in my throat, and my paws were too busy holding on to my knees to keep me stable as I got up, to muffle the sound. It was not that loud, I tried to rationalize. I blushed even though the only pair of ears who could have heard that was very possibly somewhere in dreamland. I crossed my chubbier fingers hoping he hadn't heard that.
At least some of the fullness was now gone.
The carpet under my feetpaws lead the way into the linoleum bathroom. I splashed some water on my face and burried it on a towel, feeling my cheeks jiggling. No matter how gingerly I moved, they would ripple and bounce for a few seconds. I refused to ponder whether the same applied for my backside. And of course, the mind goes wherever it is forbiden to stroll. So I couldn't help myself but picture the two watermelon-sized lumps of panther pudge stretching my already-tight 2XL boxer shorts.
I looked to my right and faced my newfound fow with dread. The digital scale sat right beside the sink, cold and judgemental as always.
I sighed. It was about time I assess the damage. Otherwise, the pounds would likely keep on piling around my midsection.
I stepped onto the blue rubbery vinyl mat and braced for the emotional impact.
Except, what I got was a physical impact.
Before the numbers settled, a furry wall pressed against my back, causing my tail to dodge the incoming threat. Two tender claws slid their way around my vulnerable sides, and sank into the generous layer of pudge that I had apparently been accruing for the past months. If Baloo's claws weren't so big, they would certainly be lost into the creases of my chest and my hips. He leaned forward, and I could feel his massive body looming above me. Even with all the weight I had gained lately, I was still comparatively thin beside the bear.
But his habits might have rubbed on me far faster than I realized.
"I heard you freeing some space for breakfast. I'll start making some waffles. Do you want chocolate powder on your shake?"
But some habits are difficult to shake off.
"My Bigheera is looking handsome today..." He leaned even closer, tightening his grip around my chest and belly, pulling me into his matress-of-a-body. The feeling was beyond pleasurable. It made me feel safe. And all my concerns about my life, and my body melted away. His body radiating so much comfort that I couldn't contain a series of purrs. Bliss.
It seems like I actually got my five more minutes of warmth in the end
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Baloo and Bagheera being all fat and cuddly. I really don't have much else to say here. I just wanted to draw them with a few extra pounds. And slice-of-life stories are another of my multiple weaknesses. So I gave that a shot. Lots of things to improve. Consider it a speed-write, idk.
