A romantic tale about how a fat Lion male and a skinny Panther female meet each other, and builds up a very romantic and growing relationship between the two of them.

All of this was inspirited by a wonderful art piece made by  lulab, and I hope that it will be a very fine read for them.

Linus & Bianca belongs to  lulab since they was the one first to create them.

"Here I am now." Linus thought as he trying to get his big body comfy in the (seemingly to him) very small chair to sit in.

He had been a lonely lion for a long time now, and it had finally reached the point in which he felt so desperate about seeing a lady that he was now on a session for "Speed-Dating".

It was pretty much a thing where one sits by a table and then meet about 10-20 partners in a 45 second long "date" to talk quickly about each other before the sound of bell could be heard, and it meant time for switching places.

Sounded like the most stupid way for one to meet the love of their life but Linus was pretty much prepared to try anything, even if it was giving him "expected" results.

Since he wasn't as slim and muscular as most other lions (But rather more having a fat frame that would make anyone think he was a pig wearing a Lion mask.) all of his encounters so far could be summed up with "No way!", "Like, no.", and "Thanks, but no thanks.".

Feeling like he was just making an even more pathetic fool of himself then he already was Linus was about to just get up and leave the place, until number 12 came to his table.

Just by looking at her Linus was officially "love struck", as what he saw was a beautiful blue slender panther girl, with magical (almost hypnotising) eyes, a decorative flower by her left ear, and she was wearing...a long pink silk dress?!

(Just for the record, in this world most of the talking anthropomorphic animals felt it was completely normal to walk around "naked", and only on some occasions wear some small accessories.)

So seeing this fully clothes female walked up to him made the cloth-less Linus feel more then a little uncomfortable that she could see just how none typical "lion" it was.

"Do you often wear clothes?" Linus asked awkwardly, to which the panther girl first looked confused before giving away a small laughter once she realised just how completely different they both looked.

"Actually to. I only thought that during this event I could look a little extra pretty. I am usually just as bare to the fur like you are." She said as she sat down.

At that moment Linus was almost on his way to say "That's hot" back to her (As his imagination could only guess what a body she must be having under there!), but not wanting to make her think he is a total perv he quickly changed it to an awkwardly "That's...nice."

"Yeah, I think so too." The Panther lady said before think about reaching out her paw to him and say "My name is Bianca, by the way."

"Linus." The lion said back as he reached out on of his paws back to her.

After the hand shake was another few seconds of silence before Bianca uttered "Excuse me for just being silence, but this is my first time doing this."

"It's okay. It's my first time too." Linus said back before adding, "If there is anything you want to ask me then feel free."

"Well...there is one thing." Bianca said while blushing slightly over just the thought of her question.

"What is it? You can ask me. I wont get offended." Linus said, to which Bianca looked ready to ask.

"Would you...allow me to feel your belly?" She asked, and while Linus had been prepared for her to mention his big fat gut at some point, he defiantly didn't expect her to ask for permission to touch it!

Feeling like he shouldn't turn down the lady's request now after previously promising, Linus backed out his chair a little bit and said "Okay, sure. Feel free to feel it."

Bianca went from looking a little ashamed over questioning to completely overjoyed over this opportunity, and wasted no time getting down on her knees as she nudged in between the thick legs of Linus and first placed her paws carefully on his belly before starting to drag them around and almost massaging the thing.

Looking around Linus could see that this was creating a bit of a scene seeing the female panther in-between the legs of the male lion, and things didn't get less weird when he suddenly felt Bianca also rest her head on his belly!

"Hmh! It feels so soft and warm!" Bianca said as she just felt like she could fall asleep and stay like this for ages. That is until they both heard a very familiar sound.

BING!

"Partner changing!"

And with that Bianca was forced to get up from her personal belly pillow and be forced to talk with another single seeking man.

But before she left she told Linus that she really liked a man who "Wasn't ashamed of going against his traditional body type, and instead just let himself get as big as he himself pleased.", and she also wondered if maybe they could hook up for a real date sometime later.

"Sure thing! Maybe at the "Glistening Pig" tavern tomorrow by 7?" Linus asked, to which Bianca shouted back "Then that's a date!"

Being alone for a moment Linus couldn't help but think that just maybe he had found his perfect girl already, and it wasn't until a very snobby poodle model just looked at him and said "I'll pass." that he thought "Yep. I think she would be my best call."

---

That one date soon lead to another date.

And then another one.

And then another one...

And before anyone could say "Plot Progress" the two of them was now in a relationship!

For Linus this felt like a dream come true since not only had he actually managed to find a love partner, but she was also a pretty hot one!

Just like she had promised Bianca only wore that dress for the speed date, and had since then only had that pretty flower as her only type of garment. (Giving Linus the chance to fully see her enchantingly blue fur in full flare!)

She was like woman taking straight out of a magazine, as she was slim but elegant, kind but though, and serious but also funny.

She was pretty much the perfect girl and that made it all the more strange that she wanted to be together with someone like himself, who was probably the least attractive guy a girl could want.

"Was it just cause of my gut? Cause she was literally all over it when we first met." Linus thought to himself while on a late night dinner date, as he lifted it up and wondered what she saw in it that she loved and everyone else disgusted?

"What are you doing? Are you playing with your fatty frame?" Bianca asked in a joking manned, but Linus had been so inside his own thoughts that just hearing her voice startled him.

"AHH!!!" He shouted and accidentally dragged up and then dropped his gut on his own plate, making it look like a very odd type of irony joke to anyone watching him. (Which was everyone in the place, since he had made that loud screaming before.)

Feeling so very embarrassed by his current position Linus didn't even noticed that he had placed his belly on top of the table, until Bianca pointed it out and said "I know we are both starving to get some food, but isn't eating your own stomach to fill it up a bit of a paradox?"

Realising first now how weird he was acting Linus quickly dragged it off the table, and placed it back down under it again.

"Are you okay dear? On these last few dates you have always had that look on your face like you are really, really pondering about something. What is it?" Bianca asked her boyfriend, who in return sighed heavily before saying "Do you really love me?"

This came off as a big shock for Bianca who said "What?! Of course I love you. Why wouldn't I?"

"It's just...do you love me, or do you love my belly? (That I was so kind to show to everyone sitting in here.)" Linus asked, to which Bianca in return got very lost for words to say.

"It's...It's a little bit of both." She finally said, to which Linus (understandably) looked very confused and asked "Wait, how?"

"I really hope I wouldn't have to bring this up, but I guess it was pretty unavoidable." Bianca said as she cleared her throat, showing that what she was about to say was pretty serious.

"Before meeting you I was together with a Jaguar named Jack, and he was the complete opposite of who you are. Not only cause he was a super fit guy who cared more about staying healthy then anything else, but also because he wanted ME to be a part of it!"

"At first it was nothing to horrible. Just him wanting me to join on some of his training sections, and at time he being responsible for much more healthier dinners."

"But then he started to get more and more demanding! He monitored everything I did, and even started putting up certain time limits for when I was allowed to go out and see friends without his company!"

"Eventually I felt more like a tool then a girlfriend to him, so I finally I decided to break up and leave that jerk!"

Bianca then had a moment of silence to (understandably) collect herself before continuing.

"So after breaking up with him I still felt pretty empty inside, as I was now back to being a lonely girl. And as time went on I almost started to miss him as it still felt better to have an abusive partner then no partner at all."

"But then I finally decided to go to that speed dating thing, and I guess it was me still being somewhat unsure with myself and what others would think of me that cause me to wear that outfit on our first meeting."

"And when I saw you everything changed. All of the sudden I saw someone that looked a lot more "open" and "true". Someone that had chosen his own life, and wasn't ashamed of how it would make him look in the eyes of others."

"When I laid my head on your belly I guess it wasn't just because I wanted to feel it's warmth, but I also somehow wanted to really make my old boyfriend mad for real!"

"I know he wasn't at the place, but to just imagine that stupid rock headed jock's face when I pressed mine into a belly that had probably been created thanks to Strawberry Milkshakes and Hamburger Grease was one of the best fantasies I had ever felt, and I made me for the first time feel like I was free and that I could do whatever I wanted."

"So to put it 100% honesty for you now Linus. I fell for you both as a symbol of everything I wanted to be since my time with Jack, but I also fell for your heart and carrying about me as an individual."

"And I for one will always love you, no matter what."

After hearing all of that Linus was pretty stunned over what this sweet and innocent feline had to be forced to do, and at the moment he just wished that this Jack guy would have been present so that he could have kicked his butt in front of Bianca for her!

But as he got calmed down Linus bended over the table to her and said, "The most important thing is that he is gone and I am here, and I will never force you into anything and only support anything you want to do with yourself."

The made Bianca feel a bit better as she said "Still, it always feels a lot more easier when you have someone to tell all of these hard feelings to." before they both gave each other a sweet little kiss on the lips.

As they got back into their seats a Penguin waiter came up to their table with a dome covered plate and asked Linus "Was it the "Obesità Burger" for tow, with a little special gift for the lady?"

Linus confirmed that this was indeed their order, and as the waiter placed the dish onto their table she couldn't help but wonder just what the "Special Gift" in question was.

"Linus, what have you been planning now?...OH MY GOD!!!" Bianca said as it now was her turn to be the one making lots of screaming noises by the table. (But for completely different reasons.)

On the plate was two super sized and super cheesy burgers, a smaller mountain of fries, at least 4 or 5 different types of dipping sauces, and in the middle of it all was an open box with an engagement ring!

Getting out of his chair Linus went down on his one knee and asked, "Bianca. Would you want to take me as your husband?"

All the hysterical Blue Panther could say was shouting "YES! YES! SO MUCH YES!!!" as she jumped out of her own chair and started hugging her lover tightly!

And as soon as she got the ring on her finger Bianca's stomach started to gurgle loudly, and her priorities suddenly went elsewhere.

"What are we waiting on? Let's start digging in!" She said as she grabbed her giant burger and started take monstrous big bites out of it!

Even for a glutton like Linus he had to admit that Bianca really knew how to eat, as she was already getting done with her burger while he was only on his first half.

She then started to almost like it was a race take a whole handful of fries, stick them all into the 5 types of dip sauces, and then places them all into her mouth at the same time!

She was eating so quickly that at one point she stop for a second just to ask if she could eat "slightly" more fries then he was planning to have, and when Linus gave her the sign that it was fully okay she immediately went back into eating at the speed of a flock of hungry piranhas! (Leaving only a few smaller piles for Linus to have once he had finished his burger.)

As he was calmly eating on his meal Linus took a quick glance at his newly engaged fiancée, and as he saw this blue panther beauty with a slight potbelly filled with food and a happy smile on her face, he knew that he had defiantly made the right choice of who he would like to spend the rest of his life with.

---

Shortly after their engagement Bianca & Linus took the next step in their relationship and got married, and after that Bianca moved in together with her luring lion.

At first it was all fine and dandy for the two of them, but after some time Linus had been noticing that Bianca was developing some "habits".

He had first thought that the time at the restaurant with the big burger platter was the only time Bianca had been showing this "hunger", but since moving together he had seen her do this on multiple occasions.

If she wasn't ordering the biggest meal at fast food joints they stayed at for lunch, then he had been seeing her secretly stuff herself full with candy and cookies at home. (When she thought that no one was watching her.)

Maybe the reason to why she was eating so much was because she still wanted to give back to Jack for all of the times he didn't allow her to eat what she wanted?

For Linus it was a bit of a tricky situation of what to do, but then it hit him that if he tried to interfere and stop her from eating as she herself pleased then he wouldn't be any better then Jack had been.

So instead Linus just let his lover loose to indulge all the calories and bits of food that she wanted to give herself, and then just avoid talking about it once she was finished.

And so that type of thinking went on as Linus just looked away (Figuratively of course, as he did enjoy watching his girl eat herself full) on many occasions, and eventually it had become so normal to him that he forgot completely that this was still considered "strange behaviour" from her part.

It wasn't until after about a month of Bianca's self stuffing that he would get reminded that she had never been fully known about her actions.

IIIIIIEEEHHHH!!!!!!!!

Linus had just been outside resting lazily in his hammock when the scream of his wife caused him to jump out and rush inside as quickly as possible!

As he entered their bedroom he was about to ask what the situation was, until he saw that it was his well-fed standing in front of a full sized mirror, with a few tears coming down her eyes, and holding a now very enlarged belly!

Not knowing how to exactly respond to this Linus just got out a very pointless "What is it honey?", despite fully knowing what it was.

"Just look at me! I have become huge!" Bianca said as she then started to cry out while pressing her face down into her fatted gut.

"But I thought that you told me the first time we met that you like the feelings of fat. You rested your head on my gut after all." Linus said to comfort her, but Bianca didn't seem to change her mind.

"Yes on you, but not on me! It looks so weird! It doesn't look like how someone like me should look!" She said as she wiped a tear from her eyes.

"But you have looked like this for a long time now and didn't notice it until first now." Linus said, and that just made Bianca even more disbelieved with herself.

"I know, and still I don't know why. Why didn't I see this before? Why did I try to ignore all of THIS?!" She said as she then started shaking her big blue belly slightly, making it jiggle like a sack of jelly.

Then Linus surprised Bianca completely by sneaking up from behind and hugging her! (And placing his paws on top of hers and fondling her belly.)

"But you look wonderful to me." His soft voice could be heard whispering into Bianca's ears as they then just stood close together to share a silent moment.

After what felt like small eternities of them just sharing each other's body heat Bianca knew she had to say something, but all she could make out of her scattered thoughts was "I-I do not even know what to think..." before the comforting voice of Linus said "No, don't think..."

"But, but!..." Bianca tried to object before getting silenced with a kiss on the cheek from her lover, and hearing him golden advice that was "Just Feel."

After that Bianca could feel how Linus was moving her paws for her all across her big tummy, and while at first she was very weirded out by having them do this together, as soon as Linus let go of his grip on her she found herself continuing rubbing her gut on her own will!

She couldn't tell why but it was just something she really liked about doing this.

The feeling of her soft paws dragging across the wide fields of her tummy fur, the relaxing softness that this kind of treatment was doing to her stress and nerves, and the pure amazements of how incredibly deep her levels of fatness really was when she took and pressed her paws straight into it.

Just by looking at her face one could see a clear transformation going on. From Bianca having looked so scared and anguished over her sudden realisation about her physical change, to now looking at her extra mass like it was something to give her comfort and support for when she really need it.

After having let his wife just stand there and look at herself in the mirror for quite some time Linus carefully leaned over and asked Bianca "How does it feel now?"

At first Bianca just said quietly to herself "It does feel...rather nice. I...like it." before going back to being completely joy filled again by shouting "I like it! I love it!" before turning around, looking Linus in the eyes, and saying "And I love you!" before giving him the most powerful kiss on the lips that he had ever received!

They then once again did nothing at all except doing the typical long movie kiss. (With their giant bellies getting squished together in order so that they could reach out to their lips.)

Eventually Bianca broke the kiss by saying "Thank you so much for helping me feel better!", to which Linus just could do nothing but to blush slightly and say "Oh chucks. It was nothing really. When I heard you screaming I knew I needed to come as quickly as possible for you rescue."

But Bianca seemed to be very serious as she then said "No. I meant for making me want to eat fat and unhealthy food in the first place. It helped triggered something that had been locked inside of me for such a long time! My independence, risk taking, my fun. You made me want to just be who I used to be before, and not feel restricted to anything at all anymore!"

Loving how much passion that Bianca was having in her voice as she was saying all that made Linus chuckle a little bit as he said, "He, he. If only your old Cheetah boyfriend could see you now."

"Then he would have probably forced me to be on a twigs and water diet for months, and forced me run a marathon every day for 2 weeks!" Bianca said before they both laugh and hug & kisses each other once again.

Bianca: "I think I am finally able to love myself for real now."

Linus: "And I would love you no matter what size you are."

Bianca: "Thanks you so much dear."

Linus: "Welcome to the fat side."
