You decide to wait until you can catch Mark alone before talking to him. This meant waiting for Travis to leave. In the meantime you would savor the delight of seeing all the jocks try and work off the results of their new appetites, hard workouts that ironically lead them to drink more of the water that was the original cause of their growing hunger.

Abs were fading away, skin-tight shirts were stretching, all in all it was impressive what could happen in a month. Keeping to lighter weights leaves you able to keep an eye on everyone, and enables you to need only a quick clean-up in case you want to leave at only a few moments notice.

Travis is doing bench presses, releasing a steady stream of profanity as he does, infuriated by the weight he has gained. You can't help but be impressed, he's gained less than anyone else. Mark on the other hand has taken his weight in stride (pleasure?) - he's wearing a white spandex shirt that used to fit but now clings lightly around a developing belly. The stretchy material leaves nothing about his dark and thickening gut to the imagination. At this very moment he holds it and even rubs it slowly with a distant smile. As close as you are you hear a growl of hunger.

"Hungry again?!" Travis shifts his attention to Mark, "Better watch it, you're getting pudgy."

Mark's smile disappears he seems angry, an emotion he rarely displays. After only a few more reps Travis' stomach grumbles its own discontent. Travis curses and set the bar back in place. Standing, Travis informs Mark that he'll cut the work-out short since Mark is hungry, but that he expects him early for their next session to make up for lost time. Without waiting for a response from Mark, Travis whirls about and sets off.

Mark shrugs unhappily and heads to the locker room. Seeing your chance to speak to him, you replace your own weights and follow suit. Inside the locker room you quickly check to ensure you and Mark are alone. With no one else around you approach Mark who is already changing out of his gym clothes.

You smile privately, knowing Travis had done a heavy workout while Mark had only done some light weight lifting when he wasn't spotting Travis.

"So, Mark, how's everything going?"

Mark looks up startled, obviously he didn't know you were there.

"All right I guess." Mark says giving you the cold shoulder.

You think for a moment. Mark has obviously relaxed since everyone started putting on some weight but he may not be entirely happy about it. At least he carries it decently, most of his gain (probably eight pounds) had settled around his stomach giving his body a contrast with his still firm pectorals and toned arms. Then again he was obviously comfortable with it, commonly rubbing and patting his new tummy. He could almost be called affectionate.

Either way you need to decide whether to ask him about further gains subtly or just be direct. Either way you think it's a fifty fifty chance that it is the right course.
