#5 of It Started with a Soft Smile

With Adam and Rhys' relationship gone, and Derek and Rhys back together, we take a look at how the trio turned out two years in the future as their story comes to a close.

This is the end of the "It Started with a Soft Smile" series. I apologize for the relative shortness of both the series and this chapter, but I hope you have all enjoyed the both!

Feedback is much appreciated!

It was two years after Rhys and Adam broke up that the lion seemingly fell from the face of the earth. Rhys had gotten his bachelor's degree in Advertising and left without word to Adam. The bear wasn't surprised, and if he was to be completely honest with himself, he didn't care much either. He had tried to contact Rhys to congratulate him on his graduation, but the lion would never answer his phone or email him back. Adam didn't know if this was just done to anger him, or if the lion honestly never received his messages, though it was more likely to be the former. The only information he ever got about Rhys was through his now ex-roommate Derek, whom he had the tendency to bump into from time to time. Even on these rare occasions, Adam was seldom ever able to extract more than a passing "He's good," from the hybrid. He had gathered that they were still together, but what had been happening in the lion's life was still a mystery.

Though the bear's relationship with Rhys had ended long ago, Adam maintained his fairly large belly. While at first he had tried to work the weight off, it didn't take long for another lover of fat men to approach him and compliment him, face flushed, on his soft gut. While the bear was nervous about getting into another relationship with such a guy, he went with it, and it worked. He and his new mate, a short yet vibrant orange furred fox named Toby whom he had sat next to in Calculus Two every now and then, got along perfectly. Toby did not push Adam to gain, but rather he liked the fat bear where he already was, and cuddled up to his soft belly every night whispering words of affection. Adam fell deeply in love with the fox, who, to Adam's great relief, was one of the most average people on campus, save for his love of fat. The bear was not looking for an adventurous man, and it was a major bonus that Toby gave great belly rubs, just like Rhys had.

Almost every night they could the two would cuddle up in bed, Toby wrapping his arms around the fat bear's big belly, and talk about their future. While for a few months after Adam's falling out with Rhys, the bear could describe himself only as feeling lost, it was nights like these with the fox in his arms when he could truly say he knew what he wanted to do with his life, and Adam loved it.

Adam loved his cute, small fox very much, and Toby loved his sweet, kind brown bear even more. The two were happy as they basked in each other's love.


Derek had tried as hard as he could to get home on time every day, but he just couldn't do it. After his graduation, the hybrid worked hard to find a job, and while his college had helped him start his new career in pharmaceutical research, an area that didn't really interest the folf but paid well, it had taken him weeks to truly get acclimated to having a real job, and that resulted in his common lateness returning home. While at first this had upset Rhys, he quickly adapted to the new schedule and always had dinner prepared when Derek got home; his portion larger, of course.

Derek worked hard to keep his lion fed. After Rhys had graduated a year after they had gotten back together, the folf prepared to show Rhys what it was like to be on the other side of the gain, where he had been before so many years ago. The lion did not condemn the idea, but rather, he welcomed it with open arms and a hungry belly. Rhys had found a job working from home on his computer as an advertising advisor, and though it didn't pay as well as a career away from home would have, it provided the money he needed to get by and then some, and allowed the lion to laze around at home and grow. Rhys took more than ample advantage of this and filled his belly nonstop.

The lion seldom let his belly's call for hunger go unanswered, and his constant feeding had started to take a toll that the folf was more than happy to collect on. Rhys' once fiercely athletic body degraded into softness as he packed his muzzle full of food for days on end. The lion's belly, which had lost its pudginess after football season had come back, had quickly gained all of his lost weight back and much more. Rhys' stomach did not have the same kind of sag that Adam's had, at least, not at first. For a good while the lion's belly stuck out like a beachball, soft and supple, but still holding its form. As he continued to eat with the constant help and encouragement of Derek his belly grew even further in softness until the lion's round belly began to fall into his lap. Following in suit of his belly, Rhys' once muscular chest softened greatly until they too sagged downwards; this was by far one of Rhys' favorite parts of his new weight, second only to how his hard cock rubbed and pressed up against his soft, fat underbelly which he, on the rare occasion that Derek wasn't around to satisfy him, would vigorously rub his leaking member against, pressing his cock into his soft fat and shaking his belly so that it would rub against the underside of his erect cock, which poked into his thick stomach, until he broke into a roar and coated his crotch and underbelly with copious amounts of cum.


The hybrid hadn't intended to fall in love with the lion all over again. Derek had started their relationship back up more for revenge than for true feelings, he wanted the perfect, model athlete to suffer the same teasing that he had in high school. His plans changed quickly though, and what had started as revenge slowly grew into a loving pairing between the folf and the lion which Derek treasured more than anything. By the time he had moved in with Rhys, who rented an apartment nearly as soon as he graduated, he had fallen deeply in love with Rhys, and decided to let his past stay in the past rather than let it drag him down again.

Derek watched his lion grow every day, bigger and bigger. He would rub and squeeze Rhys' belly and moobs with delight, greatly growing in understanding of the lion's obsession with soft bodies thick with fat. If Rhys was a good pig (a term that the folf threw around loosely and that Rhys loved to be called), he would give extra belly rubs and be sure to satisfy the lion in whatever manner he desired. What the folf loved the most was when he would catch the lion masturbating when Rhys thought he wasn't home. The first time this happened, he had caught the lion stroking his growing belly and trying to lean over to lick his own cock, as Rhys later told him that he had been able to do it before. Now, his belly was too large and got in the way whenever Rhys tried to suck himself off. When Rhys grew even larger, Derek became very interested in his practices.

Every now and again, Derek would catch Rhys stuffing himself full while stroking his erect, throbbing cock. The simple thought of growing fatter and fatter was enough to get his cock raging, and as he played with his belly and balls, switching between the two with one paw, he would vigorously stroke his member and mutter to himself about what a thick, fat pig he had become and how much fatter he would grow. He loved playing with his sagging moobs too, and would moan loudly each time his paws moved up there, rubbing, lifting, and squeezing them almost experimentally. It wouldn't take long for him to cum with a mighty roar, as he always did.

The couple was happy, and Rhys was determined to keep growing his fat belly.


When Derek came home, the pair quickly ate, and the hybrid walked over to his overstuffed lion, rubbing his round, beach ball belly. Rhys moaned softly.

As the folf patted Rhys' belly, with a flick of his tail the lion burped loudly and gave off a soft "Oink."

The lion and the folf laughed, and grinned wildly.
