Archie Andrews Weight Gain Story

Chapter 2: She Said Yes!

      Veronica Lodge was at her locker, getting her books for her first class of the day and wondering where Archie was. "It's already 7:30 and he's not even here yet. I hope he didn't oversleep...I was going to ask him to prom today," She thought, pulling out her cellphone and checking to see if he had sent her any texts. Just then, two hands came up from behind her and hugged her tightly, and Veronica let out a sigh of content. She turned around and gave her boyfriend a small kiss to greet him, and giggled as she pulled away.

 "Archiekins! What did you eat? You have frosting all over your mouth," She giggled again, wiping the corners of her mouth that had acquired the sugary substance from his. 

"Oh, sorry Veronica, I had a couple of cupcakes for breakfast since I didn't have time to eat a proper breakfast," Archie's face reddened as he quickly wiped the thick frosting off of his stubbly lips. 

   Just then, Archie's slim stomach let out a loud growl, proving to both Archie and Veronica that his morning hunger wasn't fully satiated. 

   "Well, lunch isn't until fourth period, but you can have my protein bar if you'd like to shut that cute little tummy up," Veronica said as she jokingly pat Archie's abs. "Don't worry about the extra calories; a little meat on the bones never hurt anyone," She winked as she kissed his cheek, and sauntered off to first period.

   Being a Lodge, Veronica was no stranger to keeping secrets from the public for fear of the public creating some crazy story about the family and their business practices. One secret she never dreamed of having to keep however, was the secret of her physical preferences in men. Sure, Veronica was like any other stereotypical young woman her age; she enjoyed eye-candy from time to time, and Archie was no exception. But quite honestly, muscle wasn't nearly as enjoyable to cuddle with as soft, pillowy fat. This liking of chub had all started when Veronica was a very young child.

   Way before her father's first arrest, he did a great job of keeping his work and his family separate. So great in fact, that he even learned to not look the part of a handsome billionaire/fit drug lord. For as long as Veronica could remember, Hiram Lodge had a classic dadbod; complete with a chubby untrimmed gut, the start of sagging manboobs, and a faded jawline on the cusp of becoming a double chin. Veronica remembers this so well because she was always belly-height with her father, and would frequently see his fatty pooch creating a crease in his too-tight blazers, and his love handles cresting over his tightly buttoned chinos. He was also the best cuddler at night when she had bad dreams or had a bad day at school. The feeling of extra weight had become a safety blanket for Veronica, and it was devastating when her father was taken from her at such a young age, and even more upsetting when he returned hardened (both physically and emotionally) from prison.

   As Veronica aged, she became aware of the "weird" aspect of liking someone for the fact thcat they were unfit, but she figured it was just because she felt that she would be safer with a chubby person instead of a ripped one. She was aware this made no sense, but a girl could dream, right? When her and Archie went to Pop's, she loved watching him gorge himself on burgers, fries, and milkshakes, and loved it even more when on the rare occasion his tummy would bloat a bit, creating the insinuation of a starter belly. Veronica dreamed of someday marrying Archie and convincing him to stop boxing, coaxing him into becoming a stay-at-home father or getting a desk job, and watching his waistline slowly swell until one day he tries on his old letterman jacket and can't even get the zipper to connect over his gut. Since she's known him, she always thought it would be a shot in the dark, but this morning she had this small notion that it might be coming to fruition in the near future.

   Archie walked toward his first period class, and ripped open the protein bar, greedily shoving the entire bar into his mouth. " I don't know what's gotten into me, I'm so hungry this morning," Archie thought as his stomach growled once again out of pure hunger. Archie took a seat in his history class and took out his books, waiting for the teacher to begin the lesson.
