Becoming Fatties - 5SOS

Chapter 12

All four boys were cuddling while Calum nervously bit his lip as the door bell rang. Michael let out a groan.

"Are you guys gonna get the door?" Ashton asked since no one had even moved yet. He didn't get a response, so Ashton jogged to the door not wanting Harry to leave, he was panting a bit but it didn't matter.

"Welcome Harry!" Ashton panted with a fake smile.

"Hi." Harry sighed. "Where's Calum?"

"He's in the other room." Ashton closed the door behind him and led him where his boyfriends were.

Harry raised his eyebrows when he saw the three boys cuddling. "So what? You have two boyfriends?" He snorted.

Michael narrowed his eyes. Luke rubbed his shoulder as a silent way to tell him to calm down.

Luke slowly stood up and held his hand out. "I'm Luke." He smiled warmly.

"Harry," he said shaking Luke's hand firmly.

"So you're here to torment Cally," Michael growled.

Luke glared at Michael. "Be nice." He whispered.

"Just here to get this stupid project over with." Harry replied while rummaging through his bag.

Michael sighed calming down but that didn't stop the daggers he shot at Harry. "We'll be in the other room yell if you need us yeah," Michael said grabbing Luke's hand and walking out of the room with Ashton following.

"So..." Calum said awkwardly taking a seat.

Harry sat down beside him and took out his books. He gave Calum an annoyed look when he saw he hadn't moved. "Are you going to get your stuff or what?"

"Oh, right." Calum looked down and grabbed his books and papers from the coffee table.

While Calum looked over the instructions for the project, Harry couldn't help but stare at his bulging belly that was slightly resting on his lap. His shirt was riding up a little bit where his love handles were hanging over the sides of his jeans. Harry poked the exposed chub.

"Whoa what the-!" Calum jumped before pulling his shirt down over his belly.

"Oh I uh," Harry mumbled. "I just wanted to know what it feels like to have ... You know," Harry said not really wanting to offend the boy.

Calum furrowed his eyebrows together. "Why?"

Harry shrugged. "Come on, let's start this stupid thing."

"So what topic did we get?" Harry asked Cal, smirking since he already knew.

"Obesity," Calum cringed.

Harry silently laughed a little before becoming serious, "So do you have any ideas of how we should do this?"

Calum shrugged. "I don't know. I guess we could gather a bunch of facts and maybe try to make it emotional? Like be so convincing that people really want to start eating better and exercising."

Harry nodded. "That sounds really good but," he eyed Calum up and down. "Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical since you just randomly gained a bunch of weight?"

"Well excuse you," Calum sassed. "I didn't invite you to my barbecue so why are you up in my grill?"

"I bet you could fit a grill in between those rolls," Harry laughed.

Calum tried to hide his grin but chuckled anyway. "Shut up, you're mean." He glared at him again. "I'm not that fat."

"Uh huh," Harry said sarcastically poking Calum's belly again as it sunk in an inch or two.
