The Health Cruise

By Shalion & Gahtren

Chapter One

[Shalion]: The taxi drive down to Miami was a bit of a hell in itself, although it was not what had Collin worried most as he left his home for the first time in nearly eight years. The yellow van was uncomfortable for the leopard despite being the biggest vehicle that could be arranged at a reasonable price. Mostly Collin felt cramped and was barely able to move during the three hour ride - not that he moved around all that much anyways - but it was a small miracle in itself that he was in the van at all, it had taken nearly half an hour to pull himself in enough to close the door, although his sister Jene had to push the door into his side to get it to close. Even then the door seemed to not be entirely locked as it tended to rattle against Collin's flank in a disconcerting way as the van bumped its way heavily along the highway, it rode low on its bearings for the weight.

The taxi carried nothing aside from its two passengers and two pieces of luggage for Collin. Of course, the van was probably over its recommended weight capacity despite this. This was because Collin liberally filled the rear of the van, from his left large pendulous breast which smooshed against the windshield to the right side of his love handles and descending belly which pressed hard against the wide sliding door of the van. Even with the middle row of seats dropped down into the floor, it was hard for Collin to fit his vast self in and he felt rather like a sardine in a can as he sweated, barely feeling a tiny air vent puffing air on his hot, hanging tongue.

In spite of all of this trouble, Collin was excited; nervous and afraid to be sure, but truly excited. He was finally going to start putting his life together, at least, that's what she had promised him.

Jene said nothing during the entire trip. Ostensibly, she was there to support him, but in reality she was only his guardian, a glorified babysitter at that. Collin knew the way his own sister felt about having a brother who weighed nearly half a ton. She could barely bring herself to look at him. And yet, he was such a liability to himself that someone had to tag along with him. Collin thought that his parents just wanted her there to make sure he did not suffer a sudden heart attack from the stress of going outside the house for the first time in over half a decade despite how he'd argued that he could come alone. Collin reassured himself that Jene would be unnecessary once he met with her.

They finally arrived at the pier and Collin had soaked through the couch that only fit a portion of his wide ass. The tent-like, but still too tight T-shirt pulled over Collin's sweating man-tits, with dark lines under the large, pancake shaped lumps - his sagging arm meat at least covered up the sweat stains from his pits - and when Jene got out and pulled on the handle to the side of the van, the door almost exploded outward from the force of Collin's restricted bulk.

"Jesus Collin!" she complained as she struggled to shift the door to the side against the friction from rubbing against the leopard's oversized body.

"Sorry... Sorry..." Collin muttered, but there was not much he could do in his situation. He bit his lip and stifled a curse, however as Jene pinched some of his flab on a distant part of his body in getting the door open enough to drop his right leg out of the van. It was indeed easier to get out than in, though Collin needed to wait for some feeling to return to his legs before they would support the extreme weight of his body. Gravity helped a lot, but also, Collin thought that the sweat lubricating his body did not hurt either in freeing himself from the vehicle.

Jene made a face as she tugged on Collin's arm, which was wider around at the base than her torso. "God, you sweat like a pig! It's not even that hot out!" Collin's sister barely registered with her miniscule strength against the weight of her younger brother's body and the young man had to do pretty much all of the work himself, feeling the familiar ache in his thick legs just moments after extricating himself from the van.

"I know, Sis..." said Collin dully. He did not even feel hot himself, but that did not stop the sweat from pouring down his face and back, soaking his fur and clothing that barely covered himself. Collin took a few steps and planted his ass firmly on a wide stone bench that the cab driver had been instructed to leave them at. He seemed in a hurry to go, but Jene stopped him.

"I have to make sure that she's actually going to show up before I leave." said Jene and forced the taxi to idle.

Collin looked eagerly back and forth along the walkway of the pier. His heart was indeed beating faster than usual as he took in the sea air and the sight of the tall ships rising over head in the harbor, like floating skyscrapers. Surely he would recognize her the moment he saw her...

[Gahtren]: Crap, she was late! She knew they would arrive in a few hours but had the time really passed that fast?! The terrible feeling she got when having to rush herself with her luggage and then dragging it all the way to the pier, sure she didn't live far from it, but damn did it tire her out. Dragging the luggage behind herself, it was a struggle due to the limited reach of her meaty arms, bulging against the sleeves of her shirt as the purple scales sort of overflowed them. Her wide, sagging belly occasionally hit lower thighs like some sack of dough that wouldn't stop sloshing around, it was a big gelatinous mass that was occasionally making her tent like shirt ride up her enormous front.

Serka had to tug on it again, panting and huffing as her breasts sloshed back and forth like large jugs filled with water, except they drooped and pressed heavily against her dark blue shirt. Some of her black, scaly stomach was free to be seen by the world around her, and of course, some stared at her body; though she put it off. She was excited, eager to meet the online friend that she had been in contact with for a number of years. The dragoness didn't let that stop her, and in a panting mess, she finally saw what looked like a wide mass of animal along with someone else with him. Yep, that was him, judging from the most recent picture she had seen, there was no doubt it was that particular leopard.

As she waddled closer, having to go along the crosswalk in order to meet up with them, the dragoness smiled tiredly. "You... *pant* You must be Collin? I apologize for being... *pant* so late!" Every breath she made caused her body to jiggle and vibrate, her too tight clothes just clinging to the already sweaty blubber Serka had on herself. Three black horns adorned her head, two on each side with one on the front of her head, resting close together; each one was wrapped with a few pieces of jewelry, or in this case what would be considered 'earrings' and small amulets, as the earrings swayed and had a glint of the jewels embedded in-between the gold. A variety of bangles nestled a little tightly around her chubby hands, with a beautiful sapphire necklace almost threatening to disappear in-between her large, sagging chest.

[Shalion]: Collin spotted the large woman before she had finished crossing the street. It was not hard since she was over twice the size of the other people walking along the pier, not that he had any room to speak for himself. His ass took up the whole of the three person bench and still managed to sag a little off either side. Collin could not help but stare a little as the dragoness was even more radiant than in her profile pictures, though he could not help but notice that she seemed slightly heavier in person, especially as she huffed and sweated, dragging the huge luggage behind her by one arm. He waved at her, heavy arm meat dangling to rest on his left breast even as he raised it, and waited for her to get close before greeting her.

"Serka! You look wonderful. It's so nice to see you!" said Collin warmly as Jene looked coldly on from the side, her arms crossed. It made his knees and back creak, but Collin decided to get to his feet; it was the least he could do since the dragoness was putting out so much effort to cross the street for him. Grunting, he leaned forward, throwing his arms forward and his belly, which had been resting firmly on the ground between his wide splayed feet, flowed even more forward before gradually lifting upward as Collin straightened himself to his full height. He saw that he was taller than Serka, but not by much and there was no way to hide the clear difference between their weights; Collin's belly fell well below the hiding of his shirt, below the knees and nearly halfway down his ham-like calves when standing and he was so wide that his arms were propped up at his sides and hung from the elbows. Aside from this, a warm, smile spread on his very full, spotted cheeks. "Gimme a hug, Serka!"

[Gahtren]: Serka didn't even need to respond, she waddled up and (tried) to embrace Collin, both of them were colliding against each other and looking like two mounds of blubber had squished against one another. Though reaching around each other was the hardest part, not because of their restricting size and movements, but because of their incredible weight. The dragoness' belly and breasts pressed against the leopard's own stomach, and while the leopard's gut was hanging down a good deal, Serka's only met a quarter of the way down the lower edge of the leopard's incredible belly.

Her thick, fat tail swayed gently, the black scales visible on the underside, along with the smaller black spines trailing down to the tip. It was difficult to reach fully around Collin, and the same went for him, their arm fat pressing together as they tried to hug, along with Serka rubbing the leopard's flabby side with her fat hand. "You look terrific Collin, albeit a little sweaty, but a three hour ride would do that." The dragoness smiled and playfully sneaked a little pinch of his side, her deep azure eyes looking into his as the sweaty figures broke from the hug.

"You must be Collin's sister, Jene?" Serka asked politely, holding out her hand to the leopard's sister, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

[Shalion]: Collin laughed nervously and raised a bloated arm to smooth the yellow spotted fur of his head as they broke from their brief embrace. He should have seen it coming, but for the thicknesses of their respective bodies, their hug had been more a collision than an embrace and neither of them had been able to reach much past the flanks of the other; Collin in particular had been hardly able to reach past his own gut to pat the sides of Serka's tummy; he had noticed that her body, despite the blubber, had a firmness to it that he almost totally lacked, maybe it was the scales.

Jene stepped closer but kept her arms crossed for the most part over her slender frame. Between the two giants, she looked like a stick, even her fur hung close to her body so she was not nearly as fluffy as Collin, it was hard to even see that they were related. She dangled an arm out weakly for Serka. "You must be Collin's friend, Serka, is it?" she asked while looking off into the distance. She did not look at all interested in the encounter.

Collin shifted his weight uncomfortably and not just for his weight on his feet. He could hardly bear the sight of his sister being rude to someone whom he looked up to. Serka was only 28 and barely four years older than himself, but online she had seemed worldly and confident despite how heavy she was and he was happy to see how well she carried herself out in public. Collin could barely stop himself from fidgeting. He felt like everyone was looking at him and it stung that his belly hung so far outside of his shirt, even though there was no way he could hide it at all. Serka, on the other paw, did not even seem to notice her own black scaled belly peeking out from under her blouse.

Collin gingerly placed a paw around Jene's shoulder in an awkward embrace. He knew she did not like him touching her, and he saw her flinch at his touch. "Serka, this is my sister. She was... kind enough to see me here from home. She's just here to see us off."

"Well, I'm not sticking around that long. I'm just here to make sure that Collin will be alright with you... Serka." There was an awkward silence, like a fifth wheel waiting to drop off.

[Gahtren]:"Right... right... I understand." The silence that lingered in the air was broken, it was clear right off the bat that Jene didn't want to be here, she didn't even seem to appreciate her own brother despite how Collin sugar-coated the situation. "And I can assure you that after knowing him online for years, we'll be taking care of each other." She looked at the leopard warmly, then back to Jene as there was still a bout of silence.

"Well, if you want to head back, then by all means, I appreciate that you accompanied him." The dragoness smiled warmly as her full cheeks dimpled, "I hope you have a safe trip back home Jene." There wasn't much of a response from Collin's sister, seeing how she was mostly looking eager to leave. She was mostly worried if this was embarrassing his friend, or making him nervous, not that she intended for this to happen.

[Shalion]: Jene, the slender leopard gave Serka one last look up and down. Judging from the shadow across her face, there was a lot passing through her mind that she did not care to say aloud. She turned to Collin, which was not difficult as he took up almost all the space at her side, his figure partially blocking the dragoness from view actually. She shrugged. "Well, she seems alright. I did what I came here to do." she reached up to gingerly touch Collin's elbow, or rather the sac of meat that sat over his elbow. "You remember to keep taking all of your meds and Mom wants you to send all of your blood sugars to her at least once a day while you're gone."

Collin grimaced. Not only did he not want to look like a child in front of Serka, he had not told her that he had diabetes either... He tried to pass over it quickly, patting her arm and almost shoving her into the taxi as he took several large, ponderous steps, his whole body quaking with each movement, and easily visible through his tight, inadequate clothes. "Ya, ya yeah. I got it, sis. Now you can go ahead. I know you have other things to do."

Jene allowed herself to be manhandled. Collin was surprisingly strong under all that blubber, although maybe that was not all that surprising seeing as he was constantly lifting heavy weights, the weight of his own limbs and body, that is. Collin waved goodbye and watched the taxi go. Once it was gone, he felt something of a relief, but also fear. He was alone, and that was new. He smoothed the hair on his head again nervously; his arm was so fat that it was hard to even see the massive sweat stain under it even when he lifted his arm. He gestured with a flabby hand toward the bench. "Do you want to sit down for a while, Serka? I can stand for a bit..." he said a little shakily. Collin actually could not bear his own weight for long at all, but thought that he could last for a while at least if he leaned up against the wall of the building behind them, a tacky souvenir stall. The ship that would be carrying them both would begin boarding in about two hours.

[Gahtren]: The dragoness gritted her teeth as she watched the taxi leave, clearly not enjoying Jene's attitude, already releasing a huff of frustration. Serka shook her fat neck gently, "Let's try and sit together Collin." Serka admittedly could stand longer than the leopard before her, waddling over to the stone bench that she could clearly take up a good bit of space with her quite large rear end and sides. "I'd hate to see you stand up for too long."

The dragoness waddled over to the bench, waiting for Collin, "That... is quite the revelation your sister made." She muttered to the tired leopard, "Though that whole conversation must have been painfully awkward for you, just her personality ticks me off." She snorted air out of her nostrils and sighed, "I apologize Collin, she's your sister after all."

[Shalion]: Collin laughed as he waddled heavily back the few steps towards the bench. His body was so huge and heavy, he seemed to move in waves. With his glorious belly hanging widely in two massive lobes near his ankles, his torso seemed to go on forever, while behind him his massive ass cheeks provided an adequate counterbalance for the leopard's gut, though they bounced and shifted massively as he walked. "You don't need to apologize, I know she's a total bitch." When Collin spoke, he sometimes sounded more like a teenager than a 24 year old adult. "But thanks for letting me rest..." Collin proceeded to carefully align himself with the bench, knowing from the start that he was going to need more than half of it for at least one of his butt cheeks. "I should tell you that I can only manage about 100 yards at a time..." he took a moment for a heavy breath, "...max."

Collin bent his knees and did his best to keep from collapsing right onto the bench. It was hard since he mostly kept his knees locked just to support his weight. When he bent them, his body wanted to come crashing down. It was only because Serka had instructed him in leg exercises from video calls over the internet that he was able to even manage so much, he knew. Two years ago, he had been close to bed bound, but now he was able to walk a useful distance, despite having somehow put on another 100 pounds in the same amount of time. But now, he lowered himself slowly onto the bench, feeling as his left butt cheek smooshed against the stone bench, taking his weight. Collin leaned to the left and continued to support some of his body weight with his right leg. Again, his belly fell down to rest heavily on the ground, but he was so used to that by now that he hardly noticed.

Collin offered the remaining space on the bench with a patting gesture, though his body was so wide he had to pat his thigh rather than the seat of the bench. "And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you I had diabetes. It's just so cliche, a fat guy having it, you know. It's just another thing that people assume about me and I hate it being right. And it sucks because it's gotten pretty bad. I have to take insulin now instead of just a pill. I should have told you since we're going to be in the same cabin together. I'm so stupid!"

[Gahtren]: Serka started to seat herself as well, grunting as her aching feet were admittedly starting to become a nuisance. It was making her blush that her enormous ass as well as Collin's smooshed against each other, their sweaty bodies overflowing the bench, in fact most of their frames were smothering the other, practically fighting for their own space.

"Don't beat yourself up so much Collin!" The dragoness rested a fat hand on the leopard's fat ridden arm, having to reach over and smoosh her side against his own, as well as her massive breast pressing against Collin's immense pectoral. "I wish you would have told me earlier though, it would have helped if we got things planned out." She reassuringly rubbed what she could of his shoulder, both of them squeezing against each other even more like a pile of sagging dough.

"Listen, we'll get things figured out, this is why we're here in the first place right? To help you lose some of this and maybe build up some social experience!" The dragoness smiled confidently, hoping to find the right words to stop her friend from being like this. "You should stop worrying what people assume about you. I know we might get a few stares, but learning to not pay attention to what others think is the first step." Serka advised just like she had online, one of the main reasons why the two had built up such a good friendship in the first place, both young and also really fat.

[Shalion]: Collin had felt on the verge of tears, not just from having been caught lying to Serka, but again, from the pressure of being outside and constantly noticing that people were indeed stopping to stare at the two of them, even if only for a moment, even as Serka spoke soothingly to him. But Collin did his best to blink away the moisture from his eyes. He wiped his face with a paw and his eyes did sting a little, but this time from the sweat soaking his body.

"Yeah, I know, Serka, and I really appreciate you being here for me. I've been practicing, but this is the first time I've really been out in public in a long time..." The leopard turned his head with some difficulty towards Serka, their bodies were indeed fighting each other and Collin had a lot of fat on his deep shoulders and the remnants of his neck. He rested his right hand on his pendulous right pectoral as he looked at the dragoness, noticing the attractive jewelry she wore on her horns and the shape of her round face and muzzle, her chest somehow was much larger than Collin's which was as it was supposed to be, and yet in his experience his own moobs had always blown away any trim woman's rack in terms of weight and size, despite the fact that they were shaped like thick pancakes hanging at an angle away from his body. Unlike his, in fact, Serka's were round and lovely, Collin forced himself to bring his eyes back up. "But I do feel comfortable having a friend like you around. It really... feels nice just being around someone who doesn't... look at me like... everyone else." Collin turned his head bashfully away.

He continued to speak without looking at the dragoness, "But I'm really looking to get back on track now. It should be easy to drop at least a little of this pudge." For emphasis, the leopard patted the upper mound of his belly that sat over his thighs, it was firmer than his hanging under belly, but still sent ripples all around the feline's figure, including his brimming cheeks. "We're both young and I at least should be way over where my body should naturally rest in terms of weight. I just need to get out of the house and socialize..." Collin swallowed, "But I want you to know more about my health since I've been hiding it. I just started insulin a month ago, since my blood sugar has kept going up. But since I'm so... so, big, we haven't gotten the dosage right yet. I've been increasing it, but my sugar is still over 300 when it should be under 100. I'm on aspirin for my heart too and something called Zyclome-L for my liver. I'm afraid I got the fat guy trifecta, Ha!" Collin's laugh was hard and bitter. "All before I'm halfway through my twenties too!" The young man let out a couple more weak laughs that almost sounded like sobs. "But that's it, I swear. I don't have a glandular problem. I just eat too much!" Collin tried to smile, but his face did not quite cooperate, it wavered on his face like an angry snake.

[Gahtren]: The dragoness sloshed against him and tried to hug the massive leopard, she had to strain and actually get up a little just to reach around him a bit, it wasn't easy for a dragoness of her stature as her stomach and breasts squished more of the leopard.

"Collin..." Serka paused, rubbing his shoulder and chest gently, "I know you're going through a lot, both with your family and health, and even though you kept your diabetes hidden from me, I don't think any less of you." The dragoness kept up her hug, her butt revealed around her thick tail as those tight jeans struggled to contain her ass. "I know you'll get through this, and I'll be there every step of the way with you," She rubbed his arm, feeling the large sack of rolls around it.

"Just... look on the bright side, I'm not getting any smaller either," She teased, "I eat a lot too, and I know I'm probably still putting on weight." The dragoness giggled and looked into his eyes with that fat neck and beautiful eyes, "I know that when we get on this cruise, we're going to be different people when we get off, and for the better. You can only change yourself Collin, you just need to put away this negativity and you'll be rockin' it hard!" Serka continued to giggle and squeezed the leopard gently, playfully, a blush occurring on her cheeks as she contained herself from going too far.

"Remember that you'll be with me for the next 4 weeks, and I'll always be right next to you." She patted his upper swell of a gut for emphasis, "We're both so big anyway, I doubt you'll have a hard time finding me."

[Shalion]: Collin put his hand over Serka's on the dome of his belly, it was warm and soft and Collin felt himself blushing under his fur. He'd never touched a woman's hand like this before in his life. But his grin came naturally now as he looked back up at her, even the slight movement made him more aware of just how much of his skin was in contact with the dragoness's large scaled body; he blushed harder, but ignored it trusting his fur to conceal it from sight, "Yeah, we're both going to be different people on that ship and I know it's going to be hard for a while, but I'm ready to change!" he chuckled and felt his body quaking, again rubbing against Serka's own fat rolls from where their thighs and butts collided, all the way up to where the side of her breast pressed against his own protruding chest. It was hard not to even have their fat upper arms touching on the three seat bench, and Collin was still aware of his right leg taking a good chunk of his weight.

"Well, I doubt you'll have a hard time finding me aboard, I'll probably be the fattest person on the ship!" he laughed again. "I'm nervous, but it's a weight loss cruise, so at least I don't expect anyone to say anything rude to us. We're all there because we're too big. Just some of us more than others." Collin grinned and used his right hand to push his belly playfully to the side, so that it pressed even more into Serka's own leg and belly.

[Gahtren]:"That's the spirit!" The dragoness warmly smiled, when noticing that Collin was shifting his mass against her own, Serka blushed a good bit but played along with his friend. She pushed her stomach against his own, feeling the furry mass of blubber against her scales, the dragoness rested a fat paw against his rump mistakenly, though she couldn't deny that there was so much of him to begin with.

"Being nervous is natural, you'll get used to it the longer you stay, trust me." She winked, almost pressing against him a little more just to feel his flabby body push and mold against her lard-coated leg and ass. "I'm just eager for the cruise to be here already, even with Jene gone I still feel her bitchiness permeating around this area." She giggled, leaning back to the best of her ability, which was hard to do with her incredible backside and butt, her stomach flopping further, easily passing her knees and resting against her lower thighs. It was almost sticking out like Collin's own stomach, just with a less blubber on it.

She started to dig a fat hand into her pocket to reach for her smartphone, grunting in annoyance as she saw the time. "Seems we still have some time left..." The dragoness sighed and chuckled, "Talking to you though helps pass the time." Serka pressed her gut against Collins, "Rawr, fear the dragonesses' mighty stomach, for it shall eat everything in sight." As she talked, she made it wobble with her hand. Though it suddenly started to growl audibly to both her and Collin's ears.

[Shalion]: Collin laughed as he heard the sound of the woman's heavy gut pressing against his own. "Oh, stop, just talking about food makes me hungry!" he laughed, "You haven't seen how I am around food yet, Serka, but as you can probably tell, I'm quite a beast myself." And Collin did feel a new hunger pang roll though his over large abdomen just at the mention of it, but that did not stop him thinking about how cute Serka had been just a moment ago, as they'd been pressing their bellies together.

Collin licked his lips though, it had really been a long time since breakfast for him. "I hope this doesn't sound bad, but do you think you'd like to get something to eat with me, you know before the cruise? It might be our last chance before we... you know... become different people." Collin could not look at Serka, he knew he should not even suggest what he was suggesting, and yet... he knew he was going to have to get used to getting by on a lot, a lot less food than he was used to very soon. Could one last decent meal really hurt? He felt terrible even as the words left his mouth and he covered his chubby mouth and cheeks with a large spotted paw.
