The first of a few xmas angst one-shots (unless reviewers say otherwise). My other story is not being updated till i get more reviews so may take a while. Either way i hope you enjoy the one-shot (even if it's not very good). Oh and happy almost Christmas!
Shawn hated Christmas. Christmas was the time of year people stuffed themselves silly, while celebrating with an obese old man as their idol. The thought made him sick. How could people so uncaringly eat so much? How could they stuff that last Yorkshire pudding into their mouths?
For him Christmas time was very rarely celebrated; when younger his parents where often busy and by the time he was old enough to celebrate by himself he felt no need. It was not like he would find any enjoyment what so ever, in stuffing his mouth full of thousands of calories that would quickly add to his bulging frame.
Last week Carlton had even told him that he had put on enough weight to make this years Santa Claus, that had hurt, especially when Gus joined in commenting on his one pineapple smoothie to many. However it also opened his eyes, when he got home he stripped down and truly looked at himself – he was disgusted and repulsed by what he saw. It was true he had put on weight and he had not even noticed. With his odd work hours he often found himself eating out at various places and this had obviously had an effect.
With a new sense of determination Shawn made his way to the bathroom. Yes he would start his diet this very moment. Of course he would not often give in to the bathroom – to give in would mean he had already stuffed an obscenely large portion of fat, greasy food into his mouth.
Yes there was no way he was going to be able to pass as that picture of obesity known as Santa Claus – no he was Shawn Spence and as fat as he was now; well that was going to change quickly.
It wouldn't be hard, he had done it before but this was the first time he had slipped so far. He blamed himself for letting go, just because no one had commented earlier didn't meant they hadn't notice. Maybe last week those odd looks he had been getting from Carlton weren't due to his silly antics but due to the obvious increase in his body mass, Lassie must have been disgusted!
It was Christmas time and so rather then a New years resolution to improve his diet, it would be his gift to himself, he would not look himself in the mirror with disgust for much longer; he would lose the obvious pounds coating his body.
