21 year old Buck Thompson stood outside the red rambler, a case of beer in one hand, and a bag of food in the other. The house belonged to a family friend of his. Since he was eleven, Buck had been joining his dad here, usually staying upstairs and watching television or working on homework while the others played Poker downstairs. Tonight however, his dad had work, so Buck decided to come over himself.

Like the last eight years before, he knocked on the door, and it was answered by one of the biggest men Buck had ever met to this day.

Henry "Boss" Nicols was massive. At 6'10", and over 475 pounds, every bit of him was thick. From his broad shoulders and enormous gut that hung over his shorts, to his thick legs and arms, and pudgy fingers, Boss was the epitome of 'big'.

He was also Buck's role model since childhood.

Since the day he first met the man, Buck had made it his goal to get as big as him. At first, he began to just eat a lot, but soon realized that at that size, he'd need the muscle to hold his weight up. His father, thinking it was just a growth spurt, was supportive of him, and was happy to let the boy eat whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. By the time he graduated high school, he was already pushing 280. Now, a year later, he was 310, and a lot of it was in his hefty gut, which he was the most proud of. Rarely, if ever did he wear a shirt, and when he did, it was always one a little too small and too tight so that his gut shown.

Boss was also happy to supply the teen with as much food as he wanted, always opening his kitchen to him on poker night. He'd often get comments from Boss, his dad, or the other guys they played poker with on how much Buck seemed like Boss when he was that age. It really pumped him up knowing he was following in the hefty footsteps of his idol so well.

"Come in, come in." Boss said, happily grabbing the young man and pulling him into a bear hug, forcing Buck's face into his fuzzy gut. Buck flailed a bit, but it was pretty much useless against the huge brute.

It wasn't long however before Boss finally relented and Buck was released, his face red from embarrassment. Boss didn't seem to notice, since he just kept right on talking.

"So kid, you gettin enough to eat? You've definitely gotten bigger since I saw you last." He rambled on, one huge hand resting on Buck's shoulder.

"Yeah Dad's pretty cool with me eating him out of house and home whenever I stop by." Buck said, a sheepish grin on his face. "Dad said if I get any bigger I'm gonna have to come live with you because there is no way he'd be able to support my appetite anymore."

Boss laughed. "I wouldn't have too much of a problem with that. You know, that reminds me..." He stopped for a moment. "Buck, how would you like to play poker with us tonight? If you do good, I'll consider accepting that offer of your father's."

"Huh?" Buck said, more out of shock than confusion.

"Buck, if you can beat all the members of my club in Poker tonight, you're more than welcome to come live here. You have potential kid, I can see it. You're exactly the kind of person I'd love to have hang out with me."

"You're on, Boss." Buck said.

It wasn't long before the other poker player's arrived. All in all, Buck had eight people to beat tonight. He was a bit nervous since a couple of them are good enough to go professional, but Buck hoped luck would be on his side tonight.

Once everyone was comfortable, Boss explained the situation.

"Buck here is playin for room rights. If he can beat everyone's hands, he'll have earned himself a place to stay at my house."

"Don't think we're gonna go easy on ya, kiddo." A large man said.

"You should be careful accepting offers like that from Boss. If you live with him, chances are you'll blow up like him too." A woman Buck recognized as a local store owner said to him.

Buck turned red at the thought of getting as big as Boss. "Well, I don't think that will happen..." he mumbled, but the store owner lady just gave him a sly grin.

"Alright, alright." Boss said, dealing out the cards. "If you're all done messing around, lets get this show on the road. Buck was kind enough to supply the drinks for tonight, so don't be too nasty to him."

"Hope ya picked something good." A large shirtless man said, picking up his hand and letting out a 'huh'.

Buck tried to keep his focus on the game, but he found his eyes wandering to the big bellies of Boss and the other guys. Boss however got the most attention from Buck given that he was currently clad only in a pair of boxer shorts that left little to the imagination.

Buck looked at his cards one last time before they showed their hands, trying to hide his surprise.

A 10 of Clubs, a King of Hearts, a Jack and Queen of Spades, and a Nine of Diamonds.

'A straight right off the bat? No way.' He thought.

"Alright show them off." Boss said.

To Buck's amazement, he was the only one who had anything worthwhile.

"I won..." he said.

"Not bad, not bad." One of the guys said, as Boss gave him a pat on the back.

"Well that didn't quite last as long as I had expected, but a deal is a deal." Boss said.
