Chubby Youtubers/Egos Oneshot, Book 3

HC: The Popularity Curse

A/n: Not my best Headcanon! I feel like this would be better as a oneshot so I definitely will turn this into a oneshot as well

. Travelling around the country on a small cramped tour bus with his friends felt like a dream come true for Ethan, managing to wake up each day with a bright smile on his face going to city to city in different states to perform on stage and making hundreds of people laugh.
. Ethan felt eternally grateful to be in this position knowing he couldn't have made it this far without his community and of course Mark, spending one night on the bus personally thanking the man for everything he has done.
. Mark certainly didn't cry from the speech something just gotten in his eye and hugging Ethan glad to have befriended the young man.
. At one of their last stops on the tour before it being finished for good Ethan gotten a notification on his phone alerting him he had finally reached 1 million subscribers on his channel.
. Feeling excited he'd jumped off the couch practically everyone in the room giving them early grey hairs before running around showing them the good news he'd finally reached a milestone.
. During a little celebrating dance mumbling rapidly at how gobsmacked he's feeling Ethan missed the worried glances Mark, Tyler, Wade and Bob shared with one another knowing something that the younger man doesn't know.
. Not wanting to ruin the pure joy that was radiating off of Ethan everyone happily congratulated him surrounding him in a group hug.
. For a few hours everyone gathered around the table joking around playing a few games to pass the time while until it was time to go on stage and perform for the last time for a while.
. While everyone gathered on backstage getting ready with their mics Mark and Tyler kept on glancing at their friend worryingly wanting to point out and warn Ethan about a odd curse that will randomly affect youtubers temporarily for the rest of their lives when they reach a certain milestone.
. Bob and Wade acted more reasonable whispering to the other two men that it's very unlikely it will affect Ethan tonight plus not to scare him on the day he's celebrating.
. Ethan was completely unaware any of this was happening as he suited up wearing a bright red button up shirt along with a pair of jeans before rejoining the group.
. Curtains going up and the audience falling asleep just for a millisecond until cheering wildly as all of them walk on stage preparing to make them all laugh one last time.
. Things were going smoothly with the comedy improv little sketches happening on stage Mark pretending to be a doctor working on his patient Bob with Wade being his nurse, Tyler and Mark having a star wars battle with the buff giant dressing up as Mark's nemesis the pickle and finally a dance off battle between Mark and Ethan.
. Everything was running smoothly on stage everyone's worry slowly began to disappear replaced by high level energy as they had fun on stage.
. Ethan stood at the middle back of the stage his face flush red from the dance battle and slightly getting kicked in the face watching with such a gleeful expression watching his friends play out the final sketch.
. Combing his hand through his soft yet sweaty hair Ethan completely missed the strange tingling sensation like a thousand tiny needles pricking his stomach before his usually lean slim midsection steadily started to swell outwards with fat creating a small round bump noticeable in his red shirt.
. The Curse didn't go slow wanting to be sneaky no it went quick and hard wanting everyone to know what's happening to the young man.
. In a matter of a few seconds Ethan's small football pudgy stomach blossomed inflating into a rotund tubby beerbelly that easily the size of a basketball, the buttons on his shirt pulling apart tightly creating gaps showing bits of flesh and small fat rolls of love handles formed spilling over the waistband of the man's jeans.
. The rest of Ethan's body started to play catchup his thighs and butt started to fatten up inside the already tight jeans causing them to pinch harder and ride low on the hips embarrassing showing his butt crack off in public, his flat chest that showed off years of gymnastics training vanished replaced with two growing soft moobs that sat on top of his growing stomach and even his face began to plump up rounding his cheeks into two chubby cheeks with a double chin.
. The audience was stunned into silence their mouths hung open even a few people recorded the whole thing on their phones in mute silence, no one on stage knew what was happening to their friend but very quickly they will notice.
. Just as things started to calm down on stage small ripping sounds accompanied by a constant loud pinging sound, looking behind them Mark, Tyler, Wade and Bob eyes widen at the same time as Ethan's watching their slim friend expanding all over looking like he hasn't skipped a meal in over a year.
. The buttons on Ethan's shirt popped off one after another slowly revealing the man's large pale sagging paunch that proudly stuckout blocking half of his feet from view and his soft pudgy moobs.
. Gasping noisily Ethan placed his plump chubby hands on his midsection feeling it pushing back and watched his sausage lime fingers sinking into the soft flesh, a loud ripping sound echoed across the stage blushing like a tomato Ethan awkwardly turned around on the spot his jeans cutting into his tree trunk thighs showing the now large hole at the back of his jeans to his friends and audience revealing his bright blue underwear.
. Thankfully the curse seemed to stopped running out of energy leaving Ethan looking like he gained easily 100-150 pounds in a matter of seconds, his shirt hung open along with his big hefty gut sagging over covering his crotch and every shuffle and wiggle on the spot Ethan could hear his jeans ripping slightly more open embarrassing him further.
. Coming back to his senses Mark thanked the community for their support and also thanked his friends for sticking by him going around hugging each one before the curtains closed.
. Ethan felt embarrassed and clueless not knowing what just happened to himself but thankfully his friends told him about the usual YouTuber curse reaching past a milestone and the effects being temporary but being permanent for the rest of your life staying with you and happening ramdomly.
. "On the bright side Ethan you no longer the smallest man in the room.. Its Mark" Wade tried to lighten up the mood playfully patting Ethan's doughy gut causing it to bounce slightly and earning a sharp "Hey" from Mark.
. Then to begin to lighten up the mood more and wanting their friend to feel less embarrassed Wade, Bob and Tyler ganged up on Mark retelling different stories where the curse happened to Mark going into alot of detail saying how massively gigantic he ends up from the time filling up his van and outgrowing it bursting the doors off, to the time suddenly growing in a store ending up knocking down a row of shelves.
. Ethan felt more relieved knowing he wasn't the only one that was affected by the curse and hearing the stories about Mark made him chuckle.
. Even thou they will most definitely going to tease him for a while Ethan is definitely glad to have such a great friends and a great community behind him.
