Growing above mediocrity

by EychVee

Duncan is a socially awkward man who comes down with a perplexing sickness.

Duncan sat in front of the computer in the at-home office he’d built for himself in the basement of the home he rented with his roommate. Holding his tattooed arms up with his fingers pressed into his temples, closing his eyes as he heard blaring synth pop music and raucous laughter and chatter coming from upstairs. He’d known his roommate Cody was throwing a party tonight, but he just wasn’t feeling sociable today, so he made up the lie that he had to work late tonight, but he started feeling a headache suddenly come on. It’s not the first time Cody’s thrown a party and he’s made up a lie to avoid it when he wasn’t feeling up to being near people, but this headache he got from the thumping loud noises was a first. It felt so strange and intense.

“God, Cody. Is it louder than usual tonight?” Duncan muttered to himself as he stood up and walked over to look in the mirror, his bare feet making heavy plodding noises with each step on the clean linoleum flooring he’d installed. Looking at himself in the mirror, Duncan blinked a few times as his headache throbbed. He’d always been a bit toned, but never anything really defined. Standing in the mirror wearing just his black boxers, he cracked his tattooed knuckles and looked at the assortment of tattoos that crawled up both of his arms and over his somewhat muscled chest while a smile formed on his face as he remembered the horrified look on his overly strict father’s face when he came home with his first tattoo at sixteen. He loved to rebel against his father as a kid and once he moved out at eighteen, the amass of ink started to consume the pale white skin up his arms and chest. He hoped with each needle that colored his skin, another knife was stabbed into his father’s heart.

Looking at his body in the mirror, he gave himself a cheeky bicep flex. The definition was clear, but the size wasn’t anything to cheer about. Sure, he was comfortable in his own skin, but Duncan always wondered how he’d look if he had the time and dedication to the gym to reach the size of bodybuilders. Just to look huge and swollen, even down to the insanely massive bulge straining the fabric of his boxers, but it just wasn’t meant to be. He was just average in all aspects of his body from head to toe.

He rolled his eyes playfully as he brought his arm back to his side. “I don’t know what I expected,” he said to himself as he turned around and walked toward the steps to head up to the kitchen. Before heading back to work, he figured he’d just take whatever headache relief medicine they had lying around in the kitchen and wash it down with a cold soda from the fridge.

Quickly ascending, his feet made more plodding sounds up the wooden stairs that led into the kitchen. He didn’t think twice about coming up wearing just his boxers since Cody always made sure the kitchen itself was off-limits during parties. As he walked up the steps, he spotted a petite blonde woman sitting down in a chair at the kitchen table. At first, Duncan was embarrassed and covered himself with a hat he pulled off the coatrack, but hung it back up once he realized who the woman was. With the long blonde hair and green sweater, this woman was Cody’s college friend named Dawn. She’s been over quite a few times and Duncan had grown familiar with her, so she’d become used to seeing both men wearing next to nothing.

Acknowledging her presence, Duncan gave her a polite greeting as he moved to the fridge after opening a bottle of ibuprofen and taking a few pills, opening it and pulling out a can of soda. “Hey, Dawn. Need a minute from all the loud noise?”

Dawn was a bit startled seeing Duncan, believing herself to be alone in the kitchen, but she recomposed herself and gave him a warm greeting. “Oh, greetings, Duncan. Yeah, I just needed a break. All the loud noises were taxing my social meter and I just needed a break. I’m sure Cody understands. So, ‘working late’ again, I’m assuming?”

Duncan gave her a shrug. “Hey, I like having Cody as a roommate, he’s a good guy and all, but the constant parties wear me out.”

Dawn gave him a friendly smile. “Another headache, I presume?”

He rolled his eyes as he responded, “Yeah, but this one feels different. I’ve never had one this bad before. This is like a migraine but somehow worse.”

Dawn stood up and moved over to Duncan, putting the back of her pale palm on his forehead. “You’re burning up. You must be coming down with something. There’s a new virus going around that we’re testing at the lab. It starts off with really strong headaches and then starts affecting muscle and nerve tissues. We haven’t really figured out what its long-term effects are, just that it makes the infected put on a bit of weight depending on the case. Just be sure to take care of yourself and if I figure out more about this illness, I’ll be in touch.”

Duncan just gave her a nod and headed back down the stairs to his office in the basement. He liked Dawn. She was a kindred spirits of sorts, and if he weren’t gay, perhaps they could have a long life together as a husband and wife based on just how compatible they were. As he reflected on Dawn’s warning, he noticed that his footsteps on the stairs seemed a little heavier than before. This must be the sickness Dawn was warning him about. He must’ve gotten a bit heavier than he’d noticed while in the mirror earlier. It must not have been enough to warrant noticing a change. The feeling was more obvious to him as with each step, the sound of his feet hitting the wooden stairs became louder and his toes seemed to hang off the edges of each step.

Taking a sip of his soda, he sat the can on his desk as he walked around it to get to his office chair. Stopping at the mirror again, he felt the need to stretch as he reached his arms up and released a yawn. Whatever this new illness was, it must make the sick feel tired. As he repositioned himself, he stared at his bulge, convinced that it looked bigger than when he had just looked a few minutes ago. He then shook off the feeling, after all, he was twenty-five, his cock wasn’t going to grow any bigger than the seven and a half inches he’d already gotten. His eyes moved up to his chest, his pecs obviously more swollen than before.

He felt no shock as he caressed his bigger pecs at their new size. Dawn was right, whatever this new sickness was, it was affecting his weight already. He found the skin more sensitive, moaning as his tattooed fingers fondled the skin of his pumped up chest and his nipples instinctively hardened at the euphoric sensation. He felt beads of sweat form on his forehead, so he instinctively wiped it and his fingers brushed against his wavy black hair that reached down to his shoulders.

Shrugging off the changes to his chest, Duncan sat down in his office chair and began typing again, occasionally taking sips from his can of cola, ignoring his headache the best he could as he worked.
