Sarge grumbled. Of all the things he was dealing with right now, this was the last thing he would expect to be a problem. It was very strange to him. Did he get hexed by a fairy? Did someone in the world make a wish and now everyone was dealing with the consequences? It just didn't make sense to him! And yet....

Putting his hands to his side, Sarge could feel the arms curve around his belly, now rounded out and taking up 80% of his total body mass. Everything on his body fit so perfectly with his new, rounded figure. It was almost like this felt completely natural for him... but he knew it wasn't. He turned around, staring at the bed behind him. Its frame was rectangular, meant for someone who was physically taller than they were wide. When he woke up, it wasn't from finishing a good night's sleep, it was from rolling out of bed and being unable to get up.

Several hours later, Sarge found his friend, Tyler, hobbling down the street. With all the rounded people Sarge had seen today, he was surprised to see that Tyler was smiling.

"You... alright there?" Sarge asked tentatively, trying to keep up to Tyler. He was tripping over his own feet while learning to walk properly again... however that was supposed to be. Seeing Tyler's confident step made Sarge attempt to mimic this.

Tyler turned his head to Sarge and smiled. "Ahh, I see it's affected you, too!"

"More like the 'whole world'!" Sarge grumbled, attempting to fold his arms. "How did this even happen? Our bodies are acting like this is completely normal! There's no adverse swelling like in blueberry, and no potential of exploding like with inflation."

"Don't know, but I know what you mean." Tyler looked down at himself and smirked. "honestly, it's not a bad change, I'd say. People can get used to this."

Sarge tilted his head to the side. "What do you mean?"

"Well, Sarge, I think this might be permanent. Our bodies are just meant to be round!"

"But... I was human-shaped yesterday! You can't just tell me I'm permanently stuck like this!" Sarge's eyes widened as he examined his rounded figure again. He could no longer see his feet, and his flexibility plummeted to zero with how round he was. How was he going to shower? How was he going to-

Tyler cut off his thoughts, "No, you won't be stuck at this size." Sarge's ears perked up at that glimmer of hope. Did Tyler have a solution to all this? He waited quietly as Tyler continued, "knowing you, you're gonna become MUCH rounder."

Sarge attempted to fold his arms in indignation. "I beg your pardon?! The HECK do you mean by that? This is gonna get worse?"

Tyler smirked. "I've seen a few people who were already pretty round! They were more like orbs than everyone else!" Tyler poked Sarge's belly. "You, Sarge, are well known for gaining a lot of weight... so it'll only be a matter of time before you become a large orb like those other people I know!"

Sarge knew that Tyler was teasing him, but now that lingering worry was there. Tyler was right, Sarge was a glutton, but is that how fat worked in this new world of being Permaround? Though scared, Sarge had to admit... he was eager to try this out.

This is a part of my "Bigger Belly Project".

A while ago,  creatureunknown made a concept of a world that woke up round. Everyone was "permaround", and now everyone had to get used to life this way. This idea sounded extremely fun, and after talking about it with CreatureUnknown last night, he was eager for me to try it out myself. SO, I did... and I'm not gonna lie, Permaround Sarge is absolutely adorable.
