Fat
Yuuri got off the scale. He was depressed. He gained ten pounds in only two weeks. He usually puts on weight fast and he did retire some weeks ago, but this was crazy. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed. His hips were so wide and his butt, so round. His face was puffy. Yuuri didn't know he looked like an adorable, cuddly toy. He just saw the fat.
"At least I don't have a big belly like Dad." Yuuri turned and sighed as he looked at himself in the mirror. "At least not yet...And then Viktor will look at me with disgust, he will dump me. He will say rude things about me behind my back. The gossip news will splash it all over the internet! I would have to go home in disgrace! Everyone will laugh at me! Mom and Dad would refuse to let me back into the house! I would be homeless, begging on the street!"
Yuuri wailed and slid down to the floor as his thoughts spiraled out of control. His head hit the tile floor of the bathroom he shared with his boyfriend. The cold floor snapped him to reality.
"OH!"
Yuuri pushed himself up and smacked himself hard on the cheeks.
"Ouch! Jesus! How does my mind spiral not just out of this world, but out of this universe? How insane that Viktor would dump me over getting fat? More likely he is designing stylish clothes and finding diet and exercise routines for me. And my good parents have never refused me anything and always supported me."
Yuuri began to tear up as he thought about how lucky he is to have supportive boyfriend and parents. He stood up and washed his face in cold water to refresh himself.
"It is funny how I gotten so fat though."
Just then he heard the bedroom door slam.
"Yuuuuri! Are you still in there! Have you fallen in!" Viktor chuckled at his crude joke.
"I'm here. I'll be one more minute."
"Hurry up darling! I made dinner and I bought a caaaake!" Viktor sang the last part. Yuuri chuckled and poked his head through the bathroom door. An excited Viktor was there and Makkachin barked in greeting.
"I'll be just a minute." Smiled Yuuri.
"OK!" Viktor and their dog left. Yuuri sighed and shook his head. How could he have doubted Viktor for a second. If anything, Viktor has been very attentive and loving since they became a couple:
"Especially these last two weeks..." Yuuri dropped his brush and the scales fell from his eyes. He suddenly understood. He felt a wave of disappointment, followed quickly by a wave of anger. Yuuri stormed out of the bathroom and ripped open the bedroom door. Being Viktor's boyfriend changed Yuuri on one significant way. He expressed his feelings more. He was about to express his anger all over Viktor's face!
He charged into the kitchen.
"Viktor! Alexander! Nikiforov!"
Viktor swung around and gulped.
"Oh man, all three names! He's really pissed." He thought.
"Yes. Yuuri, darling, sweetie, angel, dearest one, my only love..."
Yuuri cut him off: "Why are you making me fat?!"
"But dear, you are retired. A little weight gain..."
"Does this look like a little weight to you?!"
Yuuri slapped his hips. Lately Viktor has found Yuuri extra cushion sexy in bed.
"It's not bad. You lost those angles and sharp edges. You look sexy..."
"Sex! Is that all you think about?"
"No, I think about your cuteness..."
"Cute?"
"Well you're not cute just now..."
"Viktor!"
"Alright! Yes! I wanted fat Yuuri for sex!"
"Pervert!"
Yuuri stormed over to the couch to pout. Viktor inched over weary of Yuuri exploding again.
"Yuuri?"
Yuuri glared at him but said nothing.
"Yuuri after you retired, you gained some weight and your soft body felt nice. Really nice. I stay skinny and bony no matter how much I eat."
"Well, isn't that nice...for you." Said Yuuri, dripping with sarcasm. Viktor responded hastily:
"I-I-I like you fleshy, it feels nice and cushy..."
"If you say, "More cushion for the pushin'" I will slap you into next week!"
Viktor trembled, angry Yuuri was sexy too.
"No, no, no, I would never say that." Viktor said, even though he thought it several times a day. He sighed and tried again, on his knees this time:
"Yuuri, I love you. I love you skinny or fat. An athlete or retired. Busy or lazy. I just love you. Just the way you are."
Viktor looked up at Yuuri with his "I adore you look" and he felt the tension slip.
"But you don't love me just the way I am, you were trying to change me. Now that I think about it, there has been a lot of cakes, pies, pastries and dairy products in the house lately."
"I'm sorry Yuuri. I lost my head. I over did it. I do go overboard sometimes. I swear I won't buy any extra fattening foods."
Yuuri started to believe Viktor.
"You really like me this way?"
"Yes, Yuuri. I love you."
Yuuri felt his anger ebb away. He patted the seat next to him. Viktor scrambled into place.
"Am I forgiven?" Asked Viktor.
"Yes. You did say you were sorry, so..."
"Thank you Yuuri."
"Ok then." Yuuri kissed his cheek. Viktor looked at his boyfriend with affection. "From now on, no food purchases without my consent."
"Ok, then we get to shop together." Viktor loved being with Yuuri all the time.
"No more cakes, pies, or ice cream unless it is a special occasion."
"Ok." Agreed Viktor. His eyes twinkled as he could think up all kinds of holidays and anniversaries.
"Fake holidays and anniversaries don't count!" Said the mind reading Yuuri.
"Damn." Viktor whispered under his breath. Yuuri snorted.
"No more breakfast pastries."
"Ok."
"No more high-calorie dinners."
"Ok."
"You will help me to lose some weight."
"Ok!" More time alone with Yuuri.
"Viktor, swear you will let my body regulate itself to a normal weight."
Viktor held up his hand to swear and crossed his heart as extra insurance: "I swear Yuuri."
"Ok, now let us have dinner and fruit for dessert."
"But the cakes?" Whined Viktor.
"You can return them to the store, or give them to people at the rink, or to a homeless shelter. Your choice."
"Yes, dear."
"Thank you, Viktor." Yuuri kissed him on the cheek again. "I love you." Yuuri fluttered his eyelashes at his boyfriend as he forgiven him. Viktor's heartbeat faster at his cuteness.
Yuuri got up to walk to the kitchen. He wiggled his butt a little and looked over his shoulder.
"You know Viktor, sex is a form of exercise too."
Excited Viktor followed him with his arm raised like a schoolboy. "I know, I know!"
Yuuri grinned and enjoyed his new-found power.

I invented a middle name for Viktor.
Just a little story before I finish "Coronavirus".
