Authors Note: Duncan weight gain! It has to happen sometime. Male weight gain is sometimes fun although I can only tolerate weight gain if there is a legitimate reason necessary because it is disgusting for selfish greedy reasons and only on people who need it. Also, that last line is NOT dirty, he's talking about sundaes, lol.
Alejandro looked worriedly at his green haired friend and lover. Duncan wasn't eating properly and had lost far too much weight in the druggie days following the breakup with that evil (in his opinion although Duncan refused to see it) Courtney girl. Alejandro had found him trashed one night not breathing and saved him. Duncan had almost died. After that, Alejandro took pity on the man and stayed with the almost stranger. At the time, they barely knew each other, having met at some party. Courtney was there, hanging off Duncan's arm, the little slut already eying every other good looking male in the back room although Duncan was unaware of that. Her eyes had landed on Alejandro but he made it quickly clear he wasn't interested in her or girls, although if he had been, he certainly would never have done it with her either. Although truth be told, he fell in love that night with Duncan. It was not meant to be however it seemed for he was totally head over heels for Courtney and straight at the time. After that, Alejandro hadn't seen Duncan until the night in the alley where he saved him.
Duncan had been a little bit disappointed at first admittedly but Alejandro knocked some sense into him and took all his drugs away. He didn't leave Duncan alone for a single second; even to go to the bathroom (although he did turn away and gave him privacy while Duncan was doing business) out of fear of Duncan trying to kill himself while not being watched. And for the first few weeks, that fear was totally justified as Duncan attempted cutting and hanging although once the drug withdrawals died down and Alejandro forced Duncan to start living again, he no longer attempted suicide or self-harm and Alejandro could afford to leave him alone for a few moments without fearing finding Duncan dead or overdosed or something.
Alejandro wasn't sure why he cared so much for Duncan. Caring for Duncan had been a full time job those first few weeks and there were a couple times when he got so worried and angry, he had to stop himself from strangling Duncan himself and finishing the job. The withdrawals were painful as heck and Alejandro winced along with Duncan as every symptom went by as his body underwent transformation. They managed to get through it but it was a close call a couple times. His depression had come back in full force and Alejandro had to literally handcuff Duncan to him to keep him still. But after it was done, Duncan was compliant. Not exactly happy, yet, but better. He followed Alejandro everywhere now and slept in his bed willingly. Duncan had nightmares sleeping alone and Alejandro could not bear to see his lovely cry. The only thing he worried about was Duncan's weight. Duncan had always been kind of lean but now he was downright skinny, all bags and bones. Now that the immediate suicide attempts were over, he was scared of Duncan fading away as he was so light and he barely ate anything. He was going to have to fix that.
He watched as a bleary eyed sleepy Duncan came in, his Mohawk dripping low as Duncan shuffled in, dressed in one of Alejandro's shirts which hung like a sail from him. He smiled a brief second and gathered himself ready to get his idea rolling.
"Hello, sweetheart" Alejandro said gathering up Duncan in his arms and kissing his forehead. Duncan gave a broken smile and Alejandro again cursed the girl as he did every day he broke this wonderful person. She better hope she doesn't run into him as he would kill her. He would and enjoy every second of it as he showed her exactly what his Duncan went through. He would shatter her mind and body and soul like she did to his Duncan. But enough of those morbid thoughts. He had a hungry Duncan to feed.
"I made you breakfast," Alejandro said smiling. Duncan summoned the effort to roll his eyes.
"I know, you do almost every morning". Alejandro's grin widened.
"True, but not like this," he said stepping aside to sowing an absolutely laden table with all sorts of things: chocolate chip pancakes (Duncan's favorite), scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, beignets, omelettes, doughnuts, bananas, more eggs and pancakes, etc. Duncan's mouth dropped open at the sight.
"Huh, how, w-?" he spluttered. Alejandro preened himself very carefully.
"It was very difficult to say the least. I spent a long time making it. So please eat it." When he saw Duncan make a beeline for the door, he jumped in front of him and blocked his way.
"Oh no you don't mister, you're going to eat and you're going to like it. And before you say you're not hungry, I know you're not. But I'm concerned about you and you are far too light as it is already. I don't want anything to happen to you because of starvation. You won't make me do that will you?" Duncan grumbled as he put himself in the chair and Alejandro pushed him in.
"Stupid guilt-inducing son of a…" Alejandro shushed him.
"Quiet or I'll strap you down. I'm doing you a favor, one you'll thank me for someday. Just like saving your life."
"How did you stand it? I was such a burden then," Duncan murmured ashamed. Alejandro gently wrapped his hands around him.
"Your burden is my burden and I care about everything that happens to you. You are my priority. Which is why you need to put weight back on, you're almost a skeletal bag of bones. The fastest way I could come up with was to feed you, whether you wanted to eat or not. So we'll do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice."
"You're exaggerating. I'm not 'wasting away' as you put it." They both looked down. Alejandro snorted.
"Yes, and I'm rather thin myself. We both know that isn't true and neither is your statement. I don't know if you're wasting away or not, but you are dangerously thin and light weighing only about 103 lbs. You're bones are brittle as glass and you're pathetically weak compared to before. I'm sure that this is justified. Now start eating. I want to see every last drop of food on this table disappear." Duncan turned and looked at him incredulously.
"All of it? There is no way to be able to eat all of that." Alejandro shrugged.
"Okay, then as much as we can fit in you. I want a healthy weight for you by the end of this week, if not more."
"You're taking too much pleasure out of this aren't you?"
"Not at all. Okay, maybe a little, but this really is for your own good. Please just trust me on that. It just also gives me a little bit of entertainment and cooking practice as well, and a certain fantasy of mine."
"Fantasy?"
"Uh…I'll explain later?"
"You better."
"Oh just shut your mouth and eat already. And again don't dare say you're not hungry. That is a lie."
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean, now just eat your food." Alejandro crossed his arms and looked pointedly at Duncan. Sighing, Duncan picked up his fork and took a bit from a chocolate chip pancake. Duncan almost dropped his fork in amazement. That was the best thing…he ever tasted. He was in love with that pancake, and Alejandro. But man that pancake…he dug in hungrily shoveling in as much as he could. Oh sweet delicious chocolate, how he missed thee. He even completely forgot about Courtney, one way or the other for once. All he fixated on was this delicious food. Alejandro sighed in relief. He was worried for a second but Duncan was cool, shoveling food down like a steam engine. While Duncan might have been hungry, Alejandro knew that he owed it to the Secret Ingredient he put in, which promised to help and it was working. He was sorry he had to trick him but he refused to let Duncan fade away and Duncan refused to on his own. He just hoped Duncan was going to be cool with it when all this was over. But for now, Duncan was safe. With what was put in, concerns about weight and getting Duncan to eat were a thing of the past. He just had to hope the antidote would be as easy.
Duncan was in heaven. Food, food, glorious food. Everything seemed and tasted so much brighter than it had ever been. He had finished the stack of chocolate chip pancakes (wishing there was more because chocolate one of the greatest gifts of all time) and started munching on the glazed doughnuts. Quite sugary and delicious, he loved how it melted on his tongue. Did it always taste like this? For a few seconds he was suspicious but the smell of ham distracted him. In addition to being a closet chocolate junkie, Duncan was in love with meat. Particulary corned beef, prime rib, and ham. But he had rarely ever gotten those except on Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving sometimes. Then he started dating Courtney who was pretty controlling of what he ate and not in a good way. Actually, he never had been sure what her deal was since she always flipped on his eating meat even though he knew for a fact that she was most certainly not a vegetarian like her nice friend Bridgette which he could at least understand. But fuck cholesterol and heart issues, he was going to eat it! Next were eggs, easy enough really. Like everything else, they were wonderful to taste. He finished off a plate of beignets with the taste of the smooth silky cream also dancing on his tongue, much like chocolate. Yum, chocolate…
Duncan looked around for more but was surprised to see the entire table empty with only the minisculest of crumbs left. He pressed his hand against his stomach and was surprised to feel a heavy solid weight settled there though he did not at all feel particularly full immediately. He just felt…content. A very rare feeling. Suddenly a loud burp ripped through him and he started giggling. Patting his stomach he moved to the couch and laid there. He hoped Alejandro would be back soon with more food since Alejandro had left halfway through the meal to go shopping and errands and such. Burping again he sighed in contentment as a pleasant feeling washed over him as he thought of food. He had no idea what he had been missing, all that time of drinking and drugs, all he needed was to eat really. Rubbing his belly, he settled on the couch waiting for Alejandro to get back already. He thought of possible things, Alejandro rubbing and feeding him and doing that awesome thing with his tongue. Duncan couldn't wait for him to come back, especially with some whip cream and chocolate. Duncan knew exactly what he was going to do with those…
