I'm a bit late to the party, but I made this for the spoopy times. The story was sort of an afterthought so I tried to throw something quick and dirty together to go along with the picture. Hope you like it!

It seems they've been at this for quite some time now... I guess that's just how late I am. :3c


It was Halloween night and the neighborhood bustled about with the laughter of children running around in the streets. Door after door, no house was spared from the cubs' ruthless pillaging as each of them amassed their own pile of sugary loot. Kazan and Deklan were no different. Bursting with excitement, the pudgy pups were quick to dawn their costumes, the wolf garbed as a ninja and the culpeo dressed as a skeleton. Uncomfortably tight and painfully ironic, the costumes barely fit them and struggled to contain their massive frames, straining at the seams particularly around the circumference of their protruding bellies. Regardless, they made their way onto the dimly lit streets, pillowcases in paw, to begin a long night of trick-or-treating.

Each house the brothers visited was greeted with a cheery smile, their chubby cheeks lifting expectantly in a wide grin as they made the traditional demand for treats. Almost without fail, the adults answering the door would be taken aback by the boys' mammoth girth, gawking momentarily at their bulbous features before forking over their candy. An hour passed as they lapped their neighborhood. Each and every house was raided, the pups extorting them of as much candy as they could get their greedy paws on, but their bags of candy were still hardly half full. Unsatisfied, they ventured off to adjoining streets for more. For Kazan and Deklan, hauling their unwieldy forms up and down the road was already a task in itself. Without a good reason - candy, for example - the thought would never even have crossed their minds. Winded from their trek around the neighborhood, they were at first reluctant to travel further, but the prospect of a bigger sugar binge eventually won out.

Turning a corner, though, they spotted an eerie yellow glow emanating from deep within the woods along the sidewalk. Had it been any other day of the year, it would've been a clear sign to stay clear of whatever was causing it. However, the overwhelming curiosity it sparked was too much for their innocent little minds to resist, reasoning that it was just part of someone's Halloween decorations. Nervously, they stepped off the path and dared each other forward. Treading over roots and twigs, ducking under hanging branches, and maneuvering around scraggly bushes, Kazan and Deklan made their way further into the darkness of the woods, the faint light gradually growing brighter and brighter as their only guide.

Given their immense bulk, it was an arduous task, but all was soon forgotten as the trees and shrubbery suddenly gave way to a wide clearing. Sitting right in the middle was an enormous jack-o-lantern, easily several yards in diameter. The brothers slowly circled it, taking in its sheer enormity, before meeting back in front. Staring with their mouths agape into its hypnotizing gaze, they were transfixed and utterly absorbed by the warm glow coming from within. Not even the sudden twitch of the pumpkin's face woke them from their trance. Twisting its grin further, the jack-o-lantern glared down at its subjects below, intrigued by the corpulent cubs. Two heavy thuds followed by noisy rustling caught its attention. The heavy sacks in Kazan and Deklan's paws slipped from their grasp and dropped to the ground. With the candy spilled around them, the creature smirked, knowing full well what the boys wanted.

Two pairs of gloved hands materialized before them. Rather than reacting with shock or fear, the two simply shifted their attention from the behemoth pumpkin to the hands floating around them as if possessed by ghosts. Still as enthralled as ever, they watched with profound interest as they were shown bizarre and seemingly random gestures. Once the hands stopped, though, a sudden pang of overwhelming hunger erupted from deep inside their cavernous stomachs. Losing any sense of self-control, the starving cubs made a mad plunge for the candy scattered about, practically fighting each other for possession over the sugary treats. Ruthlessly, they tore the wrappers apart and all but inhaled the bite-sized morsels. M&Ms, Kit Kats, Skittles, Snickers, Reese's cups, Crunch bars, and more were all forcefully crammed into their waiting muzzles. Their hungry jaws made quick work of whatever passed their lips, eagerly chomping everything into a sticky amalgam of cloyingly sweet and sour flavors. After just half an hour of relentlessly shoving glob after glob of candy down their greedy gullets, the overfed pups had already depleted their supply of candy, wrappers littered about all around them.

All the while, Kazan and Deklan forgot about their surroundings as they were too enraptured by their binging. With nothing left for them to glut on, they were suddenly reminded of the mysterious hands that brought them into their hypnotized state. During the entirety of the gluttonous display, the hands moved along the plump curvature of their bodies, gently rubbing and squeezing all over their doughy forms. Despite their content growls of pleasure, they still craved for more. Given the size of their bulging guts, the pile of candy they devoured hardly put a dent in their appetites. The hands knew this and were quick to appease the ominous rumbling emanating from their bottomless stomachs. Reaching inside the jack-o-lantern's mouth, they each pulled out a handful of candy to feed the insatiable cubs. With every piece already unwrapped, all that had to be done was force it into their bellies.

Kazan and Deklan reached for the offerings without a second thought but soon realized what the spirits wanted. Sitting back and resting against each other's bulk, they relaxed and allowed the ghostly hands to feed them. Handful after handful of candy was stuffed down their throats and countless chocolate bars - king-sized and far bigger than anything they would've gotten trick-or-treating - were consumed by their hungering maws. Simultaneously, the ghosts continued to rub and press into the distended balls of fur and flesh, each heavy swallow slowly pushing their middles out further and further, steadily adding layer after layer of plush fat all over their thickening frames.

Hours passed, maybe even days. Who knew - or cared, for that matter? Both Kazan and Deklan certainly didn't. The brothers were constantly fed throughout the night, eventually passing out from fatigue but somehow still eating in their sleep. The sun rose the next day and, still, they ate. Everything about them grew fatter by the hour. Their puffy cheeks bulged out like water balloons. Their chunky limbs became thick fat-swaddled stumps. Their doughy chests sagged down their bulging sides and forced their arms to rest at an angle. Most impressively, their grossly engorged guts swelled out twice as far as they used to, resting atop and squishing between their meaty thighs. With their middles distended so impossibly far, it was long since their clothes failed to cover the enormous balls of lard. Although their bodies took the brunt of the damage, their costumes, which were already tight to begin with, could no longer contain their newfound girth and began to rip and tear at the seams in an effort to cling to their massive forms. The bones on Deklan's skeleton were stretched and warped out of proportion, more accurately representing just how enormously swollen with fat the young culpeo's build was. And even though Kazan's ninja outfit was intentionally loose and baggy by design, it just couldn't keep up with the boy's ballooning frame and was torn just as easily.Another day passed, then two, and yet they continued eating from the endless flow of candy from within the haunted jack-o-lantern. Would it ever run out? Would they ever stop? It didn't matter to Kazan and Deklan - so long as they got their fill.
