So this is so long overdue… I haven't really been posting anything at all, and I'm still kind of suffering from a lack of creativity

I am also still planning on doing more Kye, but for the moment, I'm just lacking inspiration...

But here's some writing I actually enjoyed doing ^^

New Characters are Lee's family which include Avenant and Jane who are his cousins.

XXX

Sarah walked up to the front of the enormous drive way, a whole herd of expensive looking cars lined up all the way from the front to the back as she self-consciously pulled down on the front of her dress. The Santa-hat was probably a bit much since her first dinner with Lee's parents hadn't gone exactly to plan, but they had still invited her over for their annual christmas party, (that Lee had never mentioned before) and she took at least that as a good omen.

Meanwhile inside there was a large number of guests, full of colleagues and friends of the family, chatting, eating, and generally commiserating inside. Like very year, Lee spent it making small talk with the friends and family that always turned up about this time of the year. He had to grin and bare it for as long as they stayed, which wasn't usually too far after two in the morning.

It wasn't that he disliked any of them, but this year was particularly disastrous because he had shrunk the vest in the wash and now he was just trying to hide the fact it didn't quite fit right. Unfortunately that meant no sitting down, because buttons tightened and fabric stretched a little too far. If he didn't want to pops button, he was going to have to remain standing all night which pretty much meant the night promised to be a living hell.

After escaping his latest conversation, Lee maneuvered himself carefully, shimming once or twice past the packed bodies as he went to spread of traditional christmas foods piled one next to the other.

He sighed and rolled his for a brief second before digging in, hoping that he'd at least be able to enjoy himself here.

Lee cut out a large piece of cake and quickly devoured the thing, relishing the taste since he hadn't eaten all day. He told himself he had to since the vest he was wearing was small on him already, but it was the only one he had and it had unfortunately been a present from one of his aunts.

It didn't help matters that it had probably been a size too small to begin with.

Despite that however, Lee felt his stomach rumble terribly, and with all the catered plates laid out, he couldn't hold himself back any longer.

He quickly took a sizeable portion from nearly every dish and wolfed them down to satisfy the empty void permanently stuck in his abdomen.

Unfortunately, by the time he had come out of his ravenous haze, Lee could already feel the vest straining well beyond it's limits. Little gaps between the buttons had appeared where his sizeable girth had expanded and the bottom of the vest road up on his beetled abdomen. The green vest was still pinching tenderly into fat and muscle of his upper arm squeezing it so that he looked like a jelly mould that had been overstuffed.

At least he wasn't dying of hunger anymore.

Careful not to strain them too much, Lee hesitated to move, unfortunately standing in the same place seemed to make him more of a target.

One of his cousins, Jane, with red hair and dressed in black to spite her mother, walked up to Lee. Luckily, he and Jane got along well enough since he had always treated her like a younger sister and Jane was practically Victoria's age so she teased him like a younger sister would.

"That looks a bit snug on you Lue-lue," Jane snickered, using her nick-name for Lee. She gently tugged down on the corner of his vest which was very ineffective and just bunches back up over his enormous red belly.

Lee gave her a hard disapproving looking before straightening out the vest himself, although this also resulted in the same end.

Jane snickered again as another cousin, this one a bit older than him came to conversation. Avenant -his family seemed to have a propensity for giving their children old european names- was a year or so older than Lee, tall like his cousin, but fairly slim and a bit athletic even though he hadn't done a single athletic thing in all his life.

Hitting a little harder than his sister, Avenant gave Lee and his comically small vest a condescending smirk, "You're looking well fed, Lee."

Jane punched his shoulder lightly and shook her head discouragingly, but Avanant didn't break eye contact with his cousin.

Lee's brow lowered but he tried to keep a civil look on his face. He and Avenant… didn't exactly get along. While Lee had always been the easy-going, clever type, they had always been in a strange sort of family competition, one that his mother seemed to enjoy a bit whenever she bragged to her sister-in-law.

Oh Avenant's going to the prestigious university next fall, he's really focused himself on his passion this year.

Well Leander is already in his third year of computer engineering, and soon to be graduating

What with Avenant's charity work and volunteering he didn't have much time dedicate to his studies, but his marks were so high above average anyway, the university accepted him right away.

Leander's professors say he's the best in the class, apparently, we've already had letter from a well known computer software company asking if he'd like to send in his resume, can you imagine.

Well, Avenant has a new girlfriend who's absolutely lovely and quite pretty, I think their pretty serious.

That's nice, butLeander is looking for a more serious girl right now, can't rush into these things like some boys–

That's how their last christmas conversation went and that's how it would go this year.

Lee didn't like getting wrapped up in their strange war, but every time he ever met with Avenant, it seemed they resorted to the same snide remarks and cold glares they usually dished out towards one another.

Luckily, Lee usually came out on top either by being right or jet being that much a tad bit more clever than Avenant who wasn't know for his brains. However, if he had to, Lee probably could have wrestled him to the ground and sat on him until Avenant gave up. It wouldn't be the most dignified win, but it would be better than losing to twit like his cousin.

That was one of the reasons he hadn't mentioned the party to Sarah.

It had been selfish not to invite her, but with all his relatives in the same space, mentioning how big he had gotten -like they did every year-, and doing a large number of things to tease him, it would only equal out to embarrassment and that was not something Lee wanted to die from tonight.

He could handle being large around anyone and still come out looking at least a little smooth, but not around the people he had know him since he was a baby.

Lee's ears perked up when he heard the doorbell ring, thinking that all the people he knew were attending had already arrived. He couldn't think of anyone else that might be coming.

"Oh!" Regrettably, his mother appeared from practically "That must be Leander's girl!" She smiled and to Lee it almost looked wicked, "it's kind of a serious thing."

Lee's cousins looked back at him with smirks on all their faces as Lee stared after his mother with wide, horrified eyes.

"If she's anything like Lee, we might need to clear a whole room," Avenant chortled to Jane and himself although the former gave him a hard look.

"That is just rude," Jane hissed back at her brother after she nailed him hard in the ribs, "you know girls have a much harder time than guys with weight."

Although Lee wanted to role his eyes at the entire conversation, it took only five seconds for him turn bright red and then stomp, albeit carefully, after his mother into the kitchen.

"What did you do?" He cornered both is parents with his large frame as his father, who had just been roped into the conversation glanced from Lee to Mrs. Sanderson, who had a bright cheery smile on her face.

"I invited your lovely girlfriend over for the party."

Lee gave a horrible moan and touched the the top of the counter to steady himself as his mother slipped by and his father gave him an apologetic smile.

"It's not all that bad, Lee, just keep her away from Aunt Dorothy and you'll be fine, you know how your mother is."

The doorbell rang again and Lee practically leapt back, suddenly feeling all the worst. Sarah had probably been stuck out there for awhile and it wasn't exactly summer outside.

However, just as he was lumbering toward the door, trying to force the best smile he could, he heard the door open and shut with a thump and all the colour drained from his face.

Lee hurtled around the corner like a semi, but he had been too late.

Sarah blinked in confusion as she range doorbell once more but it seemed as if no one had heard her. Maybe she should go around back?

Jut as the thought had entered her mind, Mrs. Sanderson, ever the hostess, opened the door with a vivacious smile on her lips as she spotted Sarah standing on the front porch.

"Oh, Sarah, you came–" Lee's mother laughed sweetly and Sarah couldn't help but notice a few curious faces peering over her shoulder at Sarah as she stared nervously back at them. Most, if not all of them, she didn't even know. "It is so good to see you darling!"

Lee's mother had never hugged her before, but Sarah felt herself being drawn into a tight embrace one second and then pulled through the door the next.

Sarah, still trapped in the hug, scanned the room, hesitantly looking over a few unfamiliar faces that were staring at them until Lee appeared by the hallway opening, a look of what might have been horror on his face and a similar santa hat to the one she wore on his head.

Sarah grinned a little at that and waved, but his mother suddenly let go of her and held her at arms length.

"Here, let me take your coat, Lee is in the main living room." Mrs. Sanderson smiled brilliantly as she stripped Sarah's jacket from her shoulders and quickly scooted the brunette into the main living room which was enormous and yet filled with people.

Sarah looked around with an anxious look, but no one seemed to b paying her any extra attention to her relief and Lee suddenly found her, needing to squeeze past a couple of people as he move towards her.

"Hey!" He said, a little breathlessly as the hat pom-pom at the end swung forward. He gave her a large grin and placed his hands on sides of his hips and laughed a little forcefully. "I like your hat."

A little hesitant, but quickly warming up, Sarah nodded her head and and grinned back, "I like yours too- and the vest."

Sarah had meant it a bit sarcastically since it didn't seem at all Lee's style since it was a rather obnoxious green colour.

Lee chuckled nervously as he rubbed at the back of his neck with one hand tried to tug it down again, but failing again.

Sarah had spent a bit of time on her outfit that night since she was terrified of showing up to the Sanderson's house where all Lee's relatives would be. She didn't want to look like a slob so she had taken a little extra time and arrived a fashionably late.

At the end she had decided to wear a relatively tight-fitting, sleek, red dress that fell a foot past her knees and off-black tights with classic black high heels.

As tight-fitting a dress as Sarah had, Lee seemed to be struggling far more with his green vest that had parted in the spaces between the buttons, giving it a very strained look. Sarah smiled apologetically and pulled down at the corner of the vest to smooth it out a little.

To Leander's surprise, it actually managed to stay there and he laughed loudly for the first time that night before Sarah dropped her hands and smiled back at him, a bright blush on her face.

"You never said you had a girlfriend–"

Lee looked up suddenly, fear coming to his eyes as a light feminine voice that Sarah did not recognize came from behind him.

Sarah craned her neck to the side as a girl with bright red hair wearing a black dress walked around Lee who looked a little less than pleased.

"Hi, I'm Jane, Lue-Lue's cousin." Jane grinned and held out her hand which Sarah shook.

"Lue-Lue?" Sarah asked as she looked back from Lee to Jane, who was now grinning madly. Off to the side Avenant was at least keeping is distance, although Lee gave him a wary glance.

"Lee- you didn't tell your own girlfriend you had a nickname," Jane smiled sweetly and laughed a little too obnoxiously as she patted Lee's arm.

Right now she was causing him a great deal of trouble, more so than her brother. It didn't help much that since eating Lee still hadn't gotten a moment to relax.

"Leander Sanderson, I haven't seen you the whole party!" Another voice shouted over the crowed as it came towards them and Sarah watched as a woman, a little older than Mrs. Sanderson walked towards them.

She had light blond hair, a thin elegant face and walked purposefully towards them.

"Oh, hello Aunt Dorothy," Lee muttered and Sarah watched as he tried to push down some negative emotion. Sarah noticed it and began to worry that she might not have come at the best time.

"You've gotten so much bigger since I last saw you," She patted his large belly with a well manicure hand. Although Leander merely pursed his lips tightly with an unamused look on her face, Sarah went bright red. "That vest is looking too small for you, really."

The corner of Lee's mouth just stopped from drawing into a frown. Aunt Dorothy, both Jane and Avenant's mother seemed to like embarrassing Lee, more than his own mother did, especially after and during Lee's immense weight gain.

Luckily for him, he had gotten accustom to it and now these family gatherings only mortified him a little. Sarah on the other hand, was not.

And now Avenant had joined in as he walked up beside Sarah's left side.

"Mum, your embarrassing Lee, in front of–" Avenant turned to look down at Sarah who was startled the by the guy who was nearly as tall as Lee and who walked up behind her. "-what was your name?"

A little shocked, Sarah calmed herself and smiled pleasantly back at him with a nod of her head. "Sarah, thank you."

"Sarah– I'm Avenant, Lee's older, better looking cousin" he gave a slimy smile that nearly curdled Lee's blood if it wasn't already boiling.

He might just punch Avenant's fat face in if the idiot said one more thing.

"Lee can introduce you to the rest of the family, if you'd like to stick with us for awhile," Avenant suggested in his clever little way, sinking his metaphorical fangs in a little deeper.

Sarah glanced at Lee from the corner of her vision and timidly shook her head. "Oh, no, I actually need to sit down, I'm afraid I wore the wrong shoes today."

It was only a half lie because the heels had been a bit of a tough go walking up the whole driveway.

"But I'll definitely like to join you all after a quick rest." Sarah conceded as she took Lee's arm, who seemed to have relaxed a slightly as they walked back t a more empty part of the house and a brown leather chair. Unfortunately, there was only one of them that was still free.

Lee hesitated and looked over at Sarah but she was waiting, apparently, too.

"Go ahead," She nodded, before giving him an earnest look, "you seem exhausted."

At fist surprised, Lee nodded regretfully and scratched at the back of his neck where the red turtle neck was still rubbing against his hair. "You could tell, hm?"

With a grunt, Leander eased into the comfy leather seat, which he realized was a horrible mistake when he heard he familiar rip that came along with all his old clothing when he tried to fit into jeans or a buttoned up shirt.

The buttons trembled as Lee watched i apprehension and Sarah sat next beside him, but he couldn't hold his breath in any longer, and with a gasp, and rounded belly expanded finally winning out over the clothing.

In a blink, the second top button on the green vest popped free and Sarah and Lee watched as it tumbled to the ground with a few clacks before it stopped moving altogether.

Although she tried to hold it back, a small smile came to Sarah's lips and she laughed softly. Although Lee didn't make a sound, he went the slightest bit red and rested a hand over top of the bulge that had effectively ruined his jacket.

"You know, you look good in anything, but that vest was pretty awful," Sarah laughed softly and straightened out he collar as Lee nodded is head in agreement.

"it was a gift," Lee smirked as Sarah shifted on the chair's arm, one leg pulled up beside her, "you'll need the jaws of life to pry it off though–"

"Here, maybe I can help," Sarah smiled back at him and slowly began undo the buttons one at a time, trying be delicate as she leaned over him.

Lee's breath stilled in his chest she had to press up against his side to reach the buttons, the touch of her fingers tingling through the red turtle-neck and against the sensitive skin of his belly. With the last button finally taken care of, Sarah peeled the vest off him as Lee sat up with a creak.

With a tug, she wrenched off the green vest and stuffed it into her lap. "Does that feel a little better?"

Without the vest that had acted like a force-field around his chest and middle, his whole body jiggled when laid back, particularly his swollen chest which had felt as if it had been in a tight constricting tube. At least he could now guess what it felt like to be a girl wearing a wire bra.

"Much," Lee grunted and eased back with a content grin, although now he undoubtedly looked like a giant red cherry rather than a giant red cherry wearing a vest. He couldn't tell which was worse.

Suddenly a moan came up from his stomach and Lee crossed his arms over top of the bulge, silently praying that Sarah hadn't heard it, but by the look on her face, she had.

"Oh–" she smiled patted his shoulder, "I realized I haven't eaten yet, would you like me to bring something back for you?"

She got back onto her feet with a brilliant smile and Lee chuckled, thanking God that his mother had invited Sarah, she had become literally the only saving grace of that entire evening. "Well, I mean, if there's still some of the ham left… and the chocolate cake."

She flushed pink and nodded her head with a large grin on her lips.

This night was turning out to be the best christmas present ever.

Sarah walked up to the front of the enormous drive way, a whole herd of expensive looking cars lined up all the way from the front to the back as she self-consciously pulled down on the front of her dress.

He quickly took a sizeable portion from nearly every dish and wolfed them down to satisfy the empty void permanently stuck in his abdomen.

Unfortunately, by the time he had come out of his ravenous haze, Lee could already feel the vest straining well beyond it's limits. Little gaps between the buttons had appeared where his sizeable girth had expanded and the bottom of the vest road up on his beetled abdomen. The green vest was still pinching tenderly into fat and muscle of his upper arm squeezing it so that he looked like a jelly mould that had been overstuffed.

"Here, maybe I can help," Sarah smiled back at him and slowly began undo the buttons one at a time, trying be delicate as she leaned over him.

Lee's breath stilled in his chest she had to press up against his side to reach the buttons, the touch of her fingers tingling through the red turtle-neck and against the sensitive skin of his belly. With the last button finally taken care of, Sarah peeled the vest off him as Lee sat up with a creak.

With a tug, she wrenched off the green vest and stuffed it into her lap. "Does that feel a little better?"

Without the vest that had acted like a force-field around his chest and middle, his whole body jiggled when laid back, particularly his swollen chest which had felt as if it had been in a tight constricting tube. At least he could now guess what it felt like to be a girl wearing a wire bra.

"Much," Lee grunted and eased back with a content grin, although now he undoubtedly looked like a giant red cherry rather than a giant red cherry wearing a vest. He couldn't tell which was worse.

Suddenly a moan came up from his stomach and Lee crossed his arms over top of the bulge, silently praying that Sarah hadn't heard it, but by the look on her face, she had.

"Oh–" she smiled patted his shoulder, "I realized I haven't eaten yet, would you like me to bring something back for you?"

She got back onto her feet with a brilliant smile and Lee chuckled, thanking God that his mother had invited Sarah, she had become literally the only saving grace of that entire evening. "Well, I mean, if there's still some of the ham left… and the chocolate cake."

She flushed pink and nodded her head with a large grin on her lips.

This night was turning out to be the best christmas present ever.
