Cheese is a character by Cheese_in_Boots

"So, are you ready, Cheese?"

The Käsemonstrum unbuckled himself and answered his colleague. "Yes indeed. We can do it left-handed.” Both men got out of the blue van and nodded to each other. "I'm really happy that I finally have a new colleague at my side who also has some muscular strength."

Cheese actually worked for the security service and watched over concerts, demonstrations and flea markets. But due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, almost all of these events were canceled and the orders fell accordingly. For this reason, the yellow guy had to find a new part-time job to keep his head above water. He found an ad on the Internet from a local plumbing company looking for a helper. He wanted to try it once.

The older boxer dog next to Cheese was called Joe and had been a plumber for over 35 years and was a very fun and pleasant fellow. Cheese got along with him without any problems and would also like to have contact with him after the pandemic.

"This is the house." The dog pointed to an old house that wasn't in very good condition. "Wow... someone lives there...?"

"Mhm. In the old house, the pipes are very narrow and something always gets clogged. We visit them at least once a year. Today they have no water in the kitchen again.” Joe patted Cheese's shoulder. "Here we go. You don't have to grind yourself today. I'll show you everything first and in the next few weeks I'll let you work alone if you feel safe, ok?" Cheese smiled and nodded. "Sounds great. Thank you, Sir." He really liked that grandpa.

* ding ding dong *

Even the doorbell sounded very granny-like. Cheese felt a little uncomfortable in the new work clothes. When he was at the company two days ago and tried on the clothes, he was a bit smaller. This morning, however, he didn't think along and ate a bowl of muesli. He has the ability to grow his muscles and his height when he consumes lactose. Accordingly, the clothes were now one size too small and were tight over the muscles.

After a few seconds the door opened and they were greeted by a smiling elderly lady. "Good morning. We came to check your sink in the kitchen."

"Oh, morning Joe. Who is your companion? Is he new?" “Yes, he is new. Today is actually his first day." The dog patted his helper's shoulder again like a proud dad. "Morning. Hehe. My name is Cheese." The two plumbers entered the house and were led to the kitchen. "So." The master wanted to clarify the situation again. “The water has had less and less pressure for the last four weeks and since last night there has been no water at all. Right? How's the rest of the house?" While the older lady and Joe talked, Cheese lugged a plumber's basic kit off the truck and into the kitchen. What a helper would do.

Fifteen minutes easily passed before the woman went upstairs and the two men could work. “I see, I'm not talkative enough to be a plumber. Hehe.” Cheese joked a little. "I'm sorry. But I've seen the nice lady more often than my own mother. So!" Joe clapped his hands and opened the closet door under the sink where the pipe and all plumbing were hidden.

"Phew, why is this so rusty in here?" even the experienced dog was surprised when he saw the all green pipes. Cheese wondered why there were so many hoses. He had none under his sink.

“You, Cheese, can you try dismantling the pipes? I think I don't have the strength to unscrew the nuts.” Cheese's eyes lit up. When his muscles are needed, the proud Käsemonstrum can no longer tame himself. "Of course! What wrench do I need?" "This one here. This is an old and no longer common pipe connection."

The cheese laid on its back and crawled backwards, head first, into the closet. “The whole pipe has to go.” The master said. “From the sink to the wall. Most likely the problem is deep in the wall. You turn off the water with the valve here and then you can open the pipe. But watch out! A little water comes out. Put a bucket underneath. Woe to you, the ground here is getting wet. We cannot afford a second water damage caused by us.” Joe cleared his throat. “I'll get our device to blow out the pipes. I'll be back in a minute."

Unfortunately, Cheese wasn't listening properly. He figured he would have to close the valve AFTER removing the pipes. The master was gone now and Cheese used the wrench on the pipe. Unfortunately, there was really very little space down there, so the approximately 1.95m tall cheese monster had hardly any room to maneuver his arms. “Hrrmmmm…!!” The nut didn't move an inch. The yellow man knew from films that hitting the rusted areas with the tool helped. After a few strong smacks, he tried again. And it worked to some extent. It still jammed a few times, but soon the piece of pipe was off.

"Ha! Aaand… n-URGH!” With the last turn of the wrench, the pipe fell onto his head - along with a powerful jet of cold, clear water. It was hurting in his eyes and in his nose. Cheese put his hand in front of his face to protect himself and tried to stop the flood of water, but the pressure was too strong to stop it with one hand. "Woe to you, the floor is getting wet." Cheese remembered Joe's admonition. Is it really that bad if the floor gets wet? Cheese didn't want to find out, nor wanted to be sprayed on with high pressure for a second longer.

Cheese couldn't help himself. He opened his mouth and put the pipe in his mouth, and just drank the water. “Ng…ng…!!” Master said only a 'little' water would come out. Cheese can drink over two liters of milk at a time in one session. So he should be able to get along with a 'little' water. “Ng…ng…ng…!!” Unfortunately, the tap next to him was still open. Cheese technically had a straw stuck in the city's sewage treatment plant and was drinking from a thousand-gallon tank.

The amount of water was slowly becoming too much for the cheese monster. It was already three liters. For one, he had to swallow very hard and quickly, so that he didn't have time to help in any other way. And one of the many hoses slipped under his head as Cheese was lifting his head. Now he could no longer turn or detach his mouth from the pipe. "Ng...ng...ng...ng...ng...!!" The poor apprentice swallowed and swallowed and swallowed copious amounts of water and was pumped full like a waterbed. His already tight-fitting shirt was pulled up by his growing belly, revealing his overfull yellow gut, which was swelling dangerously fast.

Where is Joe? Cheese needed urgent help!

Cheese took a deep breath through his nose and tried to stop swallowing while plugging the tube with his tongue. Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough for that, so the cold water squirted out of his nose and he choked heavily. He just managed to save himself from drowning and he had to keep swallowing. So that wasn't an option either. “Ng…ng…ng..!!”

The shirt could hardly hold the big pot belly and the seams were already creaking. His belly was already the size of a soccer ball. "Ng...ng...ng...ng...!!" His head was pounding and his eyes were already watering. He grabbed the edge of the kitchen cabinet and tried to pull himself out, but his arms and legs were weak and shaking like a broken washing machine.

Gurgling and tugging noises came from the belly, which was now a ticking time bomb. The water filled all the organs and blew them out like balloons. Cheese panicked. His eyes widened and looked around in panic. His cheeks were also bulging with water, which was already running from his nose and lips down his chin. The shirt also began to tear, revealing his unhealthy looking stomach. It looked like Cheese was expecting triplets. Even the navel suffered from the high pressure and swelled up a bit.

Cheese's heart was pounding in his ears. Does he have to die now? He felt like his body was about to explode. He closed his eyes and moaned once in pain, hoping someone would hear him.

“Oh my god Cheese!! What are you doing there?!" Joe walked in with a suitcase-sized machine on wheels when he noticed Cheese. He was damn fat and kicking his legs like he was fighting for his life. "Ng...ng...ng...ng...ng...!!" It took the old dog a few seconds to realize what was happening. "Do you have a pipe in your mouth? D-Do you need help…?” The boxer knelt down next to Cheese and tried to reach the valve next to Cheese's head. "I can't get to it...! Hold on, I'll run to the basement and turn off all the water supplies." With those words, the dog ran away, leaving Cheese alone again.

"Ng...ng...ng...ng...!!" His belly was already as big and hard as a big pumpkin. The tremendous pressure even blew out the button and zipper on his work trousers.

It's going to happen now. The very thin, stretched skin began to turn red and sore, and the veins underneath were already visible. Cheese held his stomach with both hands and was preparing to explode and die as the water pressure slowly eased off. After a few more sips, the nightmare stopped. The Käsemonstrum couldn't avoid throwing up a few times and soaking his shirt.

"Cheese?!", the worried master plumber raced back into the kitchen and was visibly relieved that his protégé hadn't burst yet. "What happened? Were you suddenly thirsty?" With a lot of effort, the boxer had to pull the 90kg man plus 40L of water out of the kitchen cupboard. He also noticed the rigid tube that jammed at the back of Cheese's head and force-fed him.

The yellow was panting heavily and almost vomited again when he was pulled out by his legs a little carelessly. Every little movement caused the water in him to slosh and hurt like hell. "I... I... did something wrong and water came out..."

"And then you idiot put the pipe in your mouth and drank??"

"You said it's just a little water..." Joe sighed and looked around. "Oh well. At least the house doesn't have water damage, but you do. Idiot."
