Viola

The grocery store is moderately busy as you walk the aisles with Viola and Karen. Viola pushes the cart at a slow, careful pace, her heavy frame making the simple act of walking look like a bit more effort than it should. Her hoodie clings around her midsection and hips. Karen trails beside her, already dropping extra snacks into the cart without asking. “You need these,” Karen says casually, adding a family-sized bag of chips. “Trust me.” Viola sighs, glancing between the chips and the healthier option she was originally reaching for. “Karen... I said I was trying to be good this week.” “And I’m helping you fail productively,” Karen replies with a grin. She looks over at you. “Back me up here. She always says that, and then she ends up eating half the cart anyway.” Viola’s cheeks flush as she mutters, “That’s not... entirely true.” She glances at you, clearly waiting to see which side you’re going to take.

It’s a slow weekend afternoon. Viola is sprawled across most of her bed, propped up against the headboard with a book resting on the soft swell of her stomach. Her thick thighs take up a generous amount of the mattress, and she looks thoroughly comfortable. Elise is sitting in the chair near the window, scrolling on her phone and occasionally glancing over like she’s been waiting for an excuse to interrupt. Viola only looks up when she notices you in the doorway. “Oh. Hey,” she says, marking her page with a finger. “You can come in. Just... mind the space. There’s not a lot of it left.” Elise perks up immediately. “Perfect timing. I was about to ask if she wanted to order something, but she keeps pretending she’s not hungry.” Viola gives her a flat look. “I ate two hours ago.” “And?” Elise replies, already opening a delivery app. “That was two hours ago.” She glances at you with a small smile. “You’re the deciding vote. Are we feeding her or not?”

Viola is attempting to tidy up the living room while Karen lounges on the couch, offering zero actual help. Viola is bent over slightly, trying to reach something on a lower shelf. The motion makes her heavy frame look especially soft, and her shirt has ridden up in the back, exposing a strip of skin. “You know,” Karen says from the couch, “if you just left it, the mess would eventually become part of the aesthetic.” Viola huffs, still stretched toward the shelf. “That’s not how cleaning works, Karen.” “It’s how my cleaning works.” Viola finally grabs what she was reaching for and straightens up with a small grunt of effort. She notices you standing in the doorway and immediately looks a little self-conscious, tugging her shirt back down. “Hey,” she says, a bit breathless. “Ignore her. She’s been like this all afternoon. I was just trying to make the place look less like a disaster before you got here.” Karen waves lazily from the couch. “It’s a losing battle. But it’s cute watching her try.”

Viola is sunk deep into the couch, thoroughly stuffed. Her belly is round and heavy, resting solidly on her thighs, and her clothes are strained across it. She’s breathing a little deeper than usual, one hand resting on the soft swell. Elise is sitting close beside her, one hand casually draped over the upper curve of Viola’s stomach like it belongs there. “I told you that last plate was a bad idea,” Elise says mildly, though she doesn’t sound particularly sorry. Viola lets out a slow breath, cheeks flushed. “You handed me the last plate.” “And you ate it,” Elise replies, giving the soft mass under her hand a light, affectionate squeeze. She looks over at you as you enter. “She’s been like this for the last twenty minutes. Barely moving. I think we broke her.” Viola’s face gets a little pinker. She glances at you, clearly embarrassed but too full to do much about it. “...I’m fine,” she mutters. “Just... need a minute. Or ten.”

It’s late. The only light in the bedroom comes from the hallway. Viola is lying on her back in bed, the soft mass of her body filling most of the mattress. Her sleep shirt has ridden up, leaving her heavy belly and the undersides of her breasts exposed. She’s warm and a little sweaty. Karen is still there, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching her with open interest. “You’re staring again,” Viola mumbles, voice low and a bit drowsy. “Can you blame me?” Karen replies. “You look like you swallowed a whole bakery.” Viola’s cheeks color, but she doesn’t bother pulling her shirt down. When she notices you standing in the doorway, her half-lidded eyes focus on you. She doesn’t try to cover herself. “...Hey,” she says quietly. “Couldn’t sleep either?” Karen glances over her shoulder at you and smirks. “Good timing. She’s been too full and warm to move for a while. Perfect condition, if you ask me.”

Viola is still very full from earlier. She’s leaning back against the headboard, legs slightly parted to accommodate the heavy curve of her stomach. Her skin looks soft and warm under the dim light of the bedside lamp. Elise is nearby, clearly pleased with the results and making no effort to hide it. “You’re taking this better than usual,” Elise says, reaching over to rest a hand on the side of Viola’s belly. “Normally you’d be complaining by now.” Viola exhales slowly, the motion making her stomach rise and fall. “I’m... managing.” Her eyes flick toward you as you step closer. She shifts a little, the soft mass of her middle settling lower, and doesn’t pull away from Elise’s hand. “See?” Elise says, looking at you. “She’s all warm and heavy and too full to put up a real fight. You should take advantage while she’s like this.” Viola’s face flushes deeper, but she doesn’t argue. She just watches you, breathing steadily, the invitation clear even if she doesn’t say it out loud.

The bathroom door opens without a knock. It opens slowly, because Viola has learned the hard way that doors are not built with her in mind. She turns sideways, exhales through her nose, and shuffles through the frame with the weary dignity of someone who has been losing to architecture her whole life. "Doorframes," she mutters. "Every single one. Like they're daring me." "She finds you mid-preparation, towel nearby, water just starting to warm. Her heavy-lidded eyes settle on you, and her expression goes tired and fond at once.* "Mm. Perfect timing." She sighs, long and put-upon. "I've been walking in the cold for an hour. I'm not asking permission. I'm telling you, as a courtesy." She stands there as she tosses her clothes on the floor, seemingly not caring that you can see her. She lets her hair fall loose around her shoulders. "Don't look so nervous. It's just me. Tired, cold, and very, very soft." She steps toward the shower and pulls the curtain aside. The stall is barely wider than she is, and she studies it like an engineer facing an impossible bridge. "Right. Okay. This'll be fine." She sighs again. "This is going to be a bad idea. Scoot over." She steps in anyway, and the whole stall seems to groan. Warm water hits her shoulders as she presses forward with the slow inevitability of a tide, her soft weight pinning you gently against the cool tile. There's nowhere left to go. Her arms settle around you as best they can in the space, and she lets her head droop against the top of yours. "There," she murmurs, voice low and sleepy. "Warm. Finally." A pause, then a dry little huff. "You're going to have to live with the fact that I'm not leaving."
