One; Body Issues

   "Utterly ridiculous! Can you believe they tailored my suit wrong?" Ezra complained, his doughy stomach pushing out of his suit. "No, I can't believe that, my love." Lucacius grinned evilly, "I'll have to correct this before the gathering." He pinched Ezra's soft side. "Thank you... so helpful." Ezra hugged Lucacius, the thin man sinking into his doughy middle, nearly face-first into his tits.

"No problem." Lucacius sank his head into Ezra's soft chest, his warm moobs comforting like pillows. "You're so soft; like a pillow." Lucacius groaned, his free-hand groping Ezra's exposed middle. "Hmph! Quit," Ezra flinched, the sensation a tickle.

"Well, get my suit fixed right away," Ezra said a little demandingly. "Of course." Lucacius obliged, he'd just get him a bigger one and tell him they re-tailored it, this time, "correctly".

THE GATHERING

Ezra sighed, staring off for a moment. Another archangel had been giving a speech -- which felt like it was continuing forever. "Ezra?" Gabriel poked Ezra's shoulder. "Ah, Gabriel!" Ezra smiled. "You've... filled out," Gabriel eyed Ezra suspiciously, looking at him up and down. "What happened to you?" Gabriel's buddy, Norman, asked. "...Nothing?" Ezra seemed confused. "Is something wrong? I -- is there something wrong with my suit?" He asked confusingly.

"No, I mean..." Gabriel faltered. "You look like a whale," Norman said bluntly, "You look like you ate the old you -- and then some." He laughed rudely. "I mean, how much do you even weigh now? Look at yourself." He just continued. "About 345?" Ezra mumbled, embarrassed.

"Jesus." Norman laughed, "Lardass."

"That's enough," Gabriel glared at Norman. "There is nothing wrong with being heavier.", he shot a look at Norman. "Fine, have it your way." Norman backed up, beginning to walk away. "...I am so sorry, Ezra." Gabriel apologized. "It's alright," Ezra feigned a smile. "I'll be -- uh. Looking around, if you need me." Ezra turned and walked away, despite Gabriel trying to apologize further.

Am I that big? I can't be. Lucacius would've said something if I was really that fat, right?

Ezra frowned, sitting down heavily, hearing the wooden stool protest under him. Where in the world is Lucacius? He wondered, looking around sadly. "Hey, big man.", a woman said to Ezra's left. "Hello," Ezra said sheepishly. "Looking for someone?" She asked. "Uh, yes -- He's about yay-tall?" Ezra used hand gestures to describe Lucacius to her, "He's not an angel. I'm sure if you've seen him, you would have noticed him." He rambled on. 

"Ah, I think I know who you mean -- Lucacius?" She smiled. Ezra nodded, "Yeah. Do you know him?" He asked, suspicious of why some random woman knew his boyfriend. "Oh, we go way back. We've been friends since three-years-old!" She said, "I'm Elouise." 

"Lovely, I'm ---" "Ezra, I know. All he does is talk about you," Elouise chuckled. "I've actually been looking for you all night. I wondered when he'd introduce me!" She nudged his side. "And you're very pretty, he's a lucky man." She spoke. "Ah, well, that's the first I've heard that tonight..." Ezra smiled awkwardly. "Really? Is someone giving you trouble?" Elouise questioned. 

"Don't tell Lucacius -- I don't want to start anything." Ezra frowned, "But Gabriel's friend, Norman, was calling me...rude names." He mumbled sadly. "Fuck him," Elouise said suddenly. "I'll deal with him, cutie. Come on, I'll take you to your man." She tugged at Ezra's sleeve. 

"Ezra!" Lucacius smiled, "I've been looking for you everywhere, where did you disappear to?" He asked, squeezing Ezra's hand. "I was sitting over there -- at the bar." Ezra motioned. Lucacius nodded, "I didn't even think to look there.", he chuckled. 

"You two have fun," Elouise said. "I need to go find somebody," she smiled at Ezra before she walked off, looking for Gabriel and Norman. I hope she doesn't kill him, Ezra worried. "Is everything alright?" Lucacius asked, pulling Ezra in. "Everything's fine --" Ezra insisted. "Don't lie to me," Lucacius narrowed his eyes, giving Ezra an obvious look. 

"Okay, fine," Ezra huffed. "Someone was just being a little rude -- nothing to throw a fit over, you know?" He shrugged his shoulders. "I am gonna throw a fit." Lucacius glared, "Who is it? What'd they do?" He demanded. 

"You know Gabriel's friend -- the awfully scrawny boy? Norman?" Ezra mumbled. "He called me a few names..." He admitted. "Like what," Lucacius pulled away, surely having murderous thoughts. "Lardass," Ezra muttered. "It's really nothing -- please don't go crazy over it." He waved his hands dismissively. 

"Bring me to him." Lucacius said sternly. 

"Okay," Ezra obliged and they began looking for Norman. They could hear Elouise telling him off before they even saw him. "Hey, ugly fuck," Lucacius dragged Ezra up. "You think you can talk to my boyfriend the way you did?" He growled. 

"What kind of freakshow is this?" Norman snorted. "A pig and a faggot. Plus, whatever this slut is.", he laughed.  Without warning, Lucacius swung at Norman and cracked him in the nose. Ezra dragged him back after, begging him to quit. 

"Fuck!" Norman coughed, his nose gushing blood. "What the fuck is your problem?" He glared at Lucacius, then up at Ezra. "What is yours? Ezra didn't do anything to you," Elouise interjected. "Fine, I'm sorry." Norman stared at Ezra hatefully, "Now, get your circus to leave me alone, fatty." 

Elouise tackled Norman to the ground. "ELOUISE --" Ezra yelled, Lucacius grabbing him and pulling him back. "Let's go, Ezra.", he said. "Let her deal with him." Ezra nodded despite feeling bad, walking off with Lucacius. 

"We're going home.", Lucacius said. "Before I kill someone." He growled. "That's okay, let's go home..." Ezra agreed. "You're not even that big!" Lucacius rolled his eyes. "You're just chubby, what is that freak's problem?" He huffed angrily. "It's okay, Lucacius -- " Ezra held his hand tightly. 

As they walked out, Lucacius kept going on about how lucky Norman was that he didn't kill him right there. Ezra nodded uncomfortably, agreeing with him so he'd shut up. "I love you," Lucacius said as he pinched Ezra's side. "I love you, too." Ezra said lovingly.
