[Weight Gain, Slob]

Deep within the naval base, there was a single hidden room. The room had been rented away to a certain Akigumo, who had been toiling away in preparation for the next convention. Or at least, she had been up until just moments ago.

The silence that filled the room was dense. The gloom and doom on the dirty blonde artist's face added to the despair that audibly rung throughout. The sound of a body twitching broke the silence, along with a stuttering mouth as the failure-consumed Kanmusu fell to the ground, breathing a deep sigh as she looked down upon the potential ruination of her career.

"You know it's just a tablet." The grounded Kanmusu's partner, Kazagumo, remarked with a surprising lack of concern in her voice. Something that immediately caused the girl on the ground to spring back onto her feet, grabbing ahold of the brunette's collar in the swift movement.

"JUST. A. TABLET!? Do you know how long I've been using that thing? It's been my partner in crime for all my life at this base, and now there's no way for me to prepare anything for the convention in time. It's not just a tablet you inconsiderate oaf, it's my lifeblood!" Akigumo was absolutely furious, sweat dripping down her brow and cheeks as she wanted to just garrote the awful girl before her, for merely implying that she wasn't utterly fucked by the tablet breaking.

Kazagumo, on the other hand, gasped out a few more words as she tried to catch her breath while being choked. "You've... got... pens..."

The blunt yet correct statement was enough to make Aki drop her, prompting Kaza to rub away at her throat while she caught her breath. "You... really didn't need to get so worked up about this. It's jus-" Seconds before she uttered another callous statement, the dirty-blonde doujin artist planted her palm across those accursed lips, glaring straight into her eyes in the process.

"You shut up for your own good, so you don't accidentally jinx anything further. You've already caused me to drop and break my tablet, so you're going to repay me in some fashion for your misdeed." Aki explained before she pulled her hand back and then zipped around the room, looking for various supplies she'd need to be able to produce the doujin for the convention in good time. If she was lucky, she'd be able to throw something together under these extreme conditions. Worst case scenario, she'd have to tell her fans that this time was only going to be a preview, and she couldn't stomach the thought.

Kaza watched her friend dart around, opening her mouth to ask briefly. "So... What do I have to do?" The statement hung in the air, only for Aki to grab her by the collar once more and drag her over and onto a couch in the back of the room.

"You're being my model. Now shut up, sit still and I'll get to work. If we're lucky, we'll be done before the deadline." The determination in her eyes was admirable, but there was something a little worrying about Aki whenever she got this hellbent. Something that sent the slightest worrying shiver down Kaza's spine...

-Three days until the Convention-

The headband wrapped around Aki's head was starting to look rather wet as she furiously scribbled several pictures onto several loose pages worth of paper, working herself to the bone as her friend merely sat on the couch. Things were progressing at a nervewracking rate, but there was still something that needed to be done...

The mutual groan that came from both girls' stomachs was a clear indication of what was missing from their schedule. "...Akiiiii." Kaza said as she laid down on the couch, rubbing at her belly.

"I know, I know. But we have to endure without food. We have to finish this in time, otherwise, it'll all be for naught." Aki replied, much like she had plenty of times over the last few hours. Not that the girl on the couch could blame her, but that determination wouldn't earn them anything in the end if they were both dead or dying.

"I won't model for you if you don't get us something to eat, you know." Kaza replied as she let her head hang off the side of the couch, her ultimatum causing the dirty blonde to grumble in an annoyed manner before she darted out of the room.

Seconds later, an energy drink and a couple of snacks were thrown to the brunette who was quite comically hit straight in the face by them. "Less complaining, more re-energizing so we can keep working at optimal conditions." The crunch-inflicted girl said as she cracked open a pair of energy drinks, downing them both in seconds while her hand worked overtime.

Kaza could only watch the furiously drawing girl with more than a little pity before she cracked open her can as she took a few sips. She didn't need much to keep going since Aki was doing all the work, but that didn't mean she didn't need any nourishment.

The snack-filled bags on the floor were at least plentiful.

-Two days until the Convention-

"Aaaakiiiiii." A labored voice muttered from the couch, only for a couple of crunches to resound from the gal laying atop the plush furniture.

"No, we're not getting any more food. We've already wasted enough time on eating, Kaza. We have to finish NOW, we can't just..." Aki tried to protest, only for her eyes to finally drag themselves from her manuscripts as they focused right back on her friend. She hadn't even taken the moment to look at her in the last twenty-four hours, but now, something started to turn within the dirty blonde doujin artist's head.

"...What? Why can't we eat more?" The couch-occupying destroyer asked as she raised an eyebrow. She had actually grown comfortable over the last day, which meant that she had eaten quite a lot of snacks. Unfortunately, Kanmusu like her weren't meant to consume so much in a single sitting, resulting in Kaza looking rather... plump, to say the least.

If you could describe plump as barely fitting on the couch anymore, with her belly bulging out and off the cushions. Her tits could no longer be considered something as silly and as small as bug bites since they actually had some sort of size to them at this point. Still, nothing compared to her belly, but it was enough to provide a contrast. Thankfully for Kaza, most of her gains were focused on her belly and her bosom, which meant that she could still stretch if she needed to.

"...I'm going to be back. But we're going to need to crunch harder tomorrow." Aki replied as she darted out of the room, causing the couch-bound girl to raise an eyebrow for a moment.

The mountain of snacks that Aki carried into the room after having her eureka moment was more than enough to make Kaza instinctively salivate, unaware of the true plan that her friend had suddenly concocted.

"Eat away. We're going to need more than enough food to make sure that'll work wonders..."

-The day before the Convention.-

The room that Aki was using as a drawing studio had gotten quite hot over the last two days. It certainly didn't help that both girls were spending a rough 24 hours per day inside of it, just so that the dirty blonde could finish her doujin in time. It also didn't help that most of the room was now covered in discarded snack bags or discarded energy drinks, like the one that just hit the floor near the drawing table.

"Come on..." The dirty blonde with tired bags under her eyes and a distinct lack of cleanliness muttered to herself as she threw her eyes back and forth between the girthy girl that laid on the couch and the near-identical sketch in her doujin. Her plans had radically changed after she saw big the girl had gotten the day before, and the plans to make a hit doujin for the niche crowd were slowly coming to fruition.

A burp slipped out of the lips of the enlargened destroyer, much like it had for the last few hours or so. The sweat from her body soaked into the couch that struggled to even hold her, given how much weight she was pushing down on it. At this point, Kaza had transformed from a rather bored-if-lazy destroyer to a whole new beast entirely...

"Aaaaakiiiii... We don't have any more snaaaacks..." The lazy lass with an ass the size of half the couch moaned at her friend, hiccuping slightly causing a few dozen crumbs to bounce off her body and onto the dirty floor below. Since she had been eating most of the snacks, it wasn't a surprise to see that she had grown to such a disgustingly huge size. It also didn't help that her arms were now comically stubby, and as were her legs. She was a joke all wrapped up in a bunch of fat, perfect for the perverted piece that Aki was producing.

"Go get some yourself, I'm almost finished. Just a few more pages." The determined dirty blonde replied as pen met paper roughly 120 times per minute, every stroke bringing another facet of the fatty in the doujin to life. Bit by bit, the woman in the imaginary medium was growing bigger and bigger, just like Kaza had... only for her to be brought out of her drawing-induced trance by the sensation of an energy drink bouncing off her face.

"You need the exercise, silly. Get up, grab some snacks, and then finish. You'll pass out tomorrow if you don't get something fresh into your system." How ironic to hear something so helpful from somebody that didn't adhere to her own advice.

Aki paused, before just groaning as she pulled herself out of her chair. Merely the act of trying to stand up was enough to make her body wobble all over the place. She didn't even bother taking note of the fact that all the energy drinks that she had downed were filed to the brim with sugar, which served to give her an even larger body than her friend. Of course, it didn't matter in the slightest, she had work to do. She couldn't be bothered with something as simple as not gaining weight or not sustaining herself on energy from those awful drinks.

Still, she was thin enough to squeeze through the door, so getting another proverbial trunkload of snacks and energy drinks wasn't a hassle just yet... she just needed to ignore Kaza for a little while longer, then she'd finish the perfect doujin for the convention...

-The fated day-

Why.

Why on all days was this the day where her body decided that enough was enough, that she needed to be stopped so she didn't accidentally ruin herself further? And why did it decide to manifest its desire to stop the mind that moved it by getting stuck in something as simple as the doorframe that connected to the rest of the naval base?

"KAZA, HELP ME!" Aki shouted as she squirmed with her manuscript in her hands, struggling to squeeze her way out of the tiny gap. "IF YOU DON'T, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU JOIN ATAGO'S EXERCISE TEAM. YOU'VE SEEN HOW HER PARTNERS TURN OUT!"

Kaza scoffed as she got right up and onto her feet, ignoring the wobbly feeling of her crumbly cookie-covered body as she took a few steps forward to go help push her friend out of the hole she had been stuck in...

Only to unceremoniously trip forward on a candy wrapper, causing her head to smash straight into the voluminous ass that was stuck in the doorframe, launching Aki out in the process and inadvertently helping her. Upon pushing herself up with her hands and noticing that she had actually done something good, the brunette cracked a smile. "Get going then, fatass. Thank me later."

As much as Aki could enjoy correcting her and pointing out how huge she had grown, it wasn't the time. She had a place to be, so she put on her best waddly-run possible before heading off.

Of course, she didn't even consider what the people at the convention would think of her when she'd arrive... And she honestly didn't care at the moment.

She had finished her doujin. And she was going to show it off to the world.
