Ah! Would you Love Me Even if I was Fat?
By Dr Black Jack

Chapter 2

The lines through out the local supermarket were long. Shoppers bustled around, trying to gather ingredients for their holiday feasts. Through all the chaos, Belldandy calmly pushed her shopping trolley.
“Wow, there certainly is a wide selection to choose from,” the goddess thought to herself. “I really should make something nice for tonight; to make up for my selfishness earlier this morning”
Slowly but surely, she filled her cart to the brim with various items as she weaved up and down the isles.
“Thank you for your business!” the shop keeper yells as Belldandy pushes her cart laden with food out of the store.
“It was really nice of Miss Chihiro to give me a bonus on my pay last week.”

It was a fair walk from the shops to their house, but one that Belldandy and Keiichi had taken numerous times before. As she approached the mountainous slope a couple of blocks before home, Belldandy felt her strength drain.
“Ooof, this is quite heavy. Keiichi-san said that I shouldn’t use magic in front of people, but however shall I get this home?”
She stopped to ponder her predicament for a moment, when suddenly, she was struck by inspiration.
“Oh I know, I’ll just eat some of the food to lighten the load. Just having some of my share wouldn’t hurt.”
Belldandy smiled happily as she lifted a box of cookies out of the cart and began to munch on them.

Sometime later, and half a cart lighter, Belldandy had finally reached the temple steps.
As the last half of a chocolate bar went past her luscious pink lips, she had finally taken notice of how much food remained.
“Is this all I bought? It seemed like there was so much more back at the store.”
The dainty goddess gently carried the plastic bags into the house, being very careful not to let anything fall. Her hips swayed slightly as the fabric of her dress hugged tightly to her expanded rear. Being of relatively petite stature, her weight was distributed in proportion to her body size. With her weight now at 165 pounds, her gain began to be obvious.

Belldandy carefully balanced herself on a small stool as she attempted to stack the higher shelves of the kitchen. With a small hop, she finally pushed the last carton onto the top shelf. A loud *RRRRRRIIIIIIPPP* resounded through out the kitchen as her final effort had strained her skirt beyond its limits. Belldandy put her right hand to her cheek, her other hand trying to shield her exposed thighs.
“Ah! My poor outfit, it must have shrunk in the wash.”
She went back to her bedroom and attempted to change into her clothes. Surprisingly, she found that none could fit her.
“I guess I’ll have to make myself some new clothes,” she thought as she weaved a spell. A blinding white light emanated from her body as wisps of fabric began to appear on her body. After a few seconds, the white light faded and Belldandy was left standing wearing a single white shirt with a crimson red skirt, supported by twin straps.
“I really should take better care of my things in future,” she sighed. “I do hope that it was only my laundry that shrank and not anyone else’s.”

Belldandy returned to the kitchen to continue her daily clean up, when the hallway clock began to chime.
“Oh, it’s already 1pm and Keiichi isn’t back yet. I hope that nothing bad has happened to him.”
Belldandy often thought about what her dearly loved Keiichi was doing whenever they were separated and occasionally worried about his wellbeing. It was one of her many traits which Keiichi found most endearing.
“I know! I’ll go down to the university and surprise him with a visit,” the plush goddess thought to herself. “I’ll make us a nice bento lunch to eat, that ought to make him happy.”
She smiled as she began to cook with her new ingredients.

After a short while, her four stack black lunch box was complete, filled with various forms of sushi and other traditional Japanese dishes.
“It’s finished. There’s enough here for everyone, just in case,”
The joy in her voice as she spoke was the equivalent of a child in a toyshop. She put a lot of love and effort into crafting her dishes, especially they were for Keiichi.
Belldandy wrapped the box and proceeded to make her way to the hallway mirror.
In an instant, the first golden brown strands of her hair became visible, her face soon followed. Once she had made sure that no one was watching, Belldandy gracefully floated through and found herself standing in the female bathroom of Nekomi Tech University.


Elsewhere, on the other side of the campus grounds, Keiichi sat himself down on a bench outside the university labs.
“Oh man, what a morning this has been,” Keiichi wearily remarked to himself. “My lousy sempais canceled the track runs for today and stuck me with cleaning duty, no wonder no one else showed up.”
He sighed and tried to think more positive thoughts.
“I sure wish that Bellchan was here, at least that way I’d have someone to talk to,” thought Keiichi as he sipped a hot coffee from the vending machine.
“KEIICHI-SSSSAAAAAAANNNN!”
He looked up from his beverage and glanced over his shoulder.
Belldandy ran towards him, smiling and waving, a sparkly aura surrounded her very being as she drew nearer.
“Keiichi-san, I’ve brought you some lunch”
Her cheery demeanor cut through his stressful mood like a knife through butter. It was as if her very presence had automatically made him feel much better about the morning’s events.
“Oh you poor dear, you must be freezing out here. Let me warm you up.”
Belldandy wrapped her arms around Keiichi, pulling him into her tight embrace. His heart was going ballistic. It was rare that Belldandy would ever act so forward, and at such times, Keiichi would find himself paralyzed with both joy and surprise at the same time.
“It’s n-n-n-nice to see you too Bell,” he spluttered as he wrapped his arms around her waist to return her embrace.
“Huh? That’s funny, Bellchan seems…well…softer…..” Keiichi thought to himself.
“Would you like to have some lunch with me?” Belldandy asked, extending the box forward whilst holding it by the knot at the top.
“Yeah, sure thing,” Keiichi replied in a rather nervous tone.  

Soon, the large spread was laid out on the wooden campus park table. Sitting on opposite ends of the faded wooden benches, they each clapped their hands and began to eat.
“Itadakimasu!”
Keiichi poured himself some tea from the thermos Belldandy had brought. He sat in silence, and quietly ate a single riceball, contemplating to himself how her very presence had turned the whole day around. Whatever the reason for her sudden visit, he was content just to have her company.
Meanwhile, Belldandy’s chopsticks moved with lightning speed and accuracy. Back and forth amongst the numerous dishes she had prepared, she quickly piled on her plate. No sooner had she finish one plateful than she repeated the process.
“Whoa, Bell’s really got an appetite today.”
The empty boxes piled high, as one by one she cleared them. With the neatness only achievable by a goddess, she did not spill a single morsel of food. Her face was clean as it was before she started. A hint of a double chin appeared as her frame began to expand once more. She was literally growing right in front of Keiichi’s eyes.
Dumbstruck, Keiichi could do nothing but stare, his remaining uneaten rice ball still in his hand.
“Keiichi-san?”
“Hmm? Oh, yes Bellchan?”
“Are you going to eat that?” Belldandy asked as she pointed to the remaining rice ball.
“This? No, you can have it.”
Keiichi gladly handed over the riceball.
“Heehee, Arigatou!” Belldandy replied in her calm, sweet as sugar voice.
Keiichi looked at his watch and noticed the time.
“Oh CRAP! I was supposed to clean that shed an hour ago, Tamiya and Ootaki are going to kill me!”
He quickly gathered up his things and prepared to make a run for the club house when Belldandy’s hand shot out and grabbed his backpack.
“Please Keiichi-san, would you allow me to help you?”
He turned and watched her rise from her seat. The fabric of her red skirt strained to keep her bulging belly in place. Two deep rolls and love handles had formed the sides, one roll peaking over the edges of her skirt. Belldandy’s belly drooped slightly over her waistline. Her once slim arms now stressed the sleeves of her long white shirt. At around 210 pounds, Belldandy’s breasts pulled at her shirt, pushing the red straps of her skirt to either side. Now big enough to rival those of her sister’s, their presence was made more prominent as the straps forced her expanded assets closer together, allowing them to swell out their once average proportions.

This was all too much for Keiichi to bear. His face went beet red and he felt the first few drops of blood, well up in his nose.
“Uh,nothat’sokthanksforthelunchseeyoulaterBellchan!” He quickly garbled out, as he ran off, clutching his nose. There was no way that he would want her to see him acting in such a manner.
Belldandy put her right hand to her mouth and tried to suppress a small giggle.
“Keiichi-san sure is passionate about his club”
She smiled as she began to pack up the remaining boxes.
The portly goddess walked back to the female bathroom of the university, her wide hips swaying back and forth, her inner thighs barely touching as she walked.

As Belldandy lifted her chubby fingers to the glass, about to summon a portal back home, another woman entered the room.
Her long dark straight dark brown hair, her expensive designer clothes and her stunning good looks; it was non other than Sayoko Mishima, the self proclaimed “queen of the campus.”
“Ugh, I hate the holiday season,” she grumbled. “You just can’t walk through snow in high heels.”
She looked up from her expensive footwear and noticed Belldandy standing by the mirror.
“Belldandy! Is that you?”
Belldandy pulled her hand back from the glass, turned to Sayoko and politely bowed. “Oh Sayoko, good afternoon to you.”
Sayoko just stared at her with a look of shock on her face. Here was the only girl whom she had ever considered a rival, now weighing in at 210 pounds. It was just too perfect, a chance to humiliate her and regain the title of campus queen!
“Guess she’s not so perfect after all, heh, heh, heh,” Sayoko thought to herself. A cruel smile spread across her face.
“Been hitting the buffet often this holidays eh Bell?”
“Um, not exactly, Keiichi and I have not been to any buffets that I can recall.”
“Well it’s no wonder why not; you’ve probably already eaten him out of house and home. Look how fat you’ve become! No wonder he’s always so poor, all the money he earns must go to feeding you.”
A puzzled look flashed across Belldandy’s face.
“But that’s impossible, goddesses can’t gain weight Sayoko.”
Sayoko sneered. To her, Belldandy’s poor excuses were nothing more than the acknowledgment of fleshy development. It was time for her to hit her where she was most sensitive.

“Still going on about that goddess thing eh? Well in any case, goddess or not, your flabby unattractive figure must be a real turnoff for Keiichi. He’ll probably dump you for a thinner girl soon; it’s only a matter of time.
Belldandy’s face displayed what could only be defined as pure terror. The very notion of Keiichi abandoning her was a fear that she could not withstand.
“No it’s not true. Keiichisan isn’t like that!”
Sayoko just lifted her hand to her mouth and laughed.
“Oh ho ho ho! Face it honey fat is ugly, and you my dear, are fat!”
Sayoko twirled her slender, athletic figure and expensive clothes.
“Who knows, I just might have to take him from you.”
Laughing heartily as she exited the bathroom door, Sayoko basked in the glory of defeating her adversary.
Belldandy simply stood in one spot. Her greatest insecurity had suffered immensely from Sayoko’s verbal assault.
“No way….Keiichi-san is no longer attracted to me?.....Did he run off because I repulsed him so?”
A single tear rolled down her plump cheeks as she stood over the bathroom sink. “It’s not true, I refuse to believe it! Keiichi-san loves me….doesn’t he?”
She looks into the mirror and pokes her flabby stomach. “AH! Sayoko was telling the truth! I have put on weight.”

The tubby goddess desperately tried to calm herself. “Ok, I’ve got to figure out a way to return to my former self….Oh I know! Maybe neesan can help me!”
She quickly touched the mirror and sunk through. The first strand of her hair appeared out of the corridor mirror, followed by her rounded face. She squeezed her enlarged breasts past either side of the mirror’s wooden frame. That was about as far as she had made it before her stomach girdled her progress.
“Oof! I’m so big, I can’t even get home…I need to try somewhere else.”

After managing to squeeze back through to the university, Belldandy finally managed to return home via the large, full sized vanity mirror in Urd’s room.
“Uh, excuse me neesan, I hope I didn’t wake you.”
The room was silent.
“Oh, Urd’s not here.”
Belldandy noticed a small note lying on Urd’s laboratory table.
Dear Bell, Skuld got into a fight at the electronics store and ordered Banpei to destroy the place. Have gone to smooth things over – Urd.
P.S. Tape Winter Sonata for me if I’m not back home by 6.
Belldandy sighed as she put the note down.
“I do hope that they’re alright, I should go and help but….” She prodded her large stomach. “There’s a problem that I must take care of….now…”
She searched around the shelves and inspected every potion and ingredient.
“Forgive me sister dearest, I do not mean to take your ingredients without permission, but I just can’t lose Keiichi-san….I just can’t….”
Whilst not the potion prodigy that her sister was, Belldandy did receive excellent grades when she was in training. She knew how to mix the most basic of potions and hoped that she could concoct something to help her in her time of need.
“Um, lets see here, mandragora root…..wolfsbane….and…I think that’ about does it.”
She set the bottle down and smiled to herself.
“Neesan’s “Chutzpa Hammer” recipe should give me the energy I need to burn off this weight as I do chores,” she thought to herself as she gulped down the elixir.
Belldandy exited her sister’s room and went into the hallway. She was determined to restore her former figure, no matter what.
