Ayu's Gain, Ch. 7

Chapter 7
At the Mall, Pt. 1

*********************************************************************************

The scenery sped past the window like blurry splotches of paint, the only color that stayed consistent was the grey of the clouded sky. The green and browns of the fields of grass and trees disappeared to give way to even more grey buildings as they approached the city. The mall was just on the outskirts of Tokyo, so they wouldn’t have to go too far into the sprawling metropolis, which Ayu appreciated. Kazumi sat idly in the passenger’s seat, contently looking out the window.

“Ya’know,” she said, not looking away from the window, “I heard they got this new Italian restaurant at the mall. I’ve been wanting to go there for a while, so how ‘bout we eat there?”

“Sure,” Ayu replied. “I heard about that place too. It’s supposed to be really good.”

“Yeah. My uncle went there a couple of weeks ago; he’s been bugging all of us to go there.”

“Oh yeah, I remember your uncle. I met him at your birthday party last year. I liked him; he was really nice.”

“Yeah, well, he gets annoying after a while.”

Ayu chuckled as she turned the car onto the next road. Up ahead, she saw the huge mall coming into view. The parking lot seemed to be packed to the brim, and a mass of people crowded by the entrance. She didn’t even want to imagine how busy it was on the inside.

“Aw, man,” she groaned loudly. “Look at how crowded that place is!”

“Well, that’s what we get for going here on a Sunday afternoon. Busy time.”

Ayu turned into the parking lot, searching for a place to park. She drove down the aisles, looking for an empty spot, but everything seemed to have a car in it. She turned into the next row, and there still didn’t seem to be a thing. “Hey,” she said, looking over at Kazumi, “keep an eye open for a empty spot.”

“Well, I see one in the next row.” Kazumi stated. “But you better hurry,” she added, pointing over to a car coming down the opposite aisle, “that guy over there looks like he’s going for it.”

Ayu pressed harder on the gas and turned the corner, where on the other side, she found the car in question on the very far side of the aisle headed toward her, the empty space halfway between them. “Oh here we go,” she said, speeding up.

She sped up down the row, the other driver matching her speed. To her right, she heard Kazumi swoon. “Oooh,” she said, gripping the armrests. “I love a good game of chicken!”

The two cars accelerated toward the empty spot, each one gaining in speed. Ayu held on to the steering wheel until her fingers started to turn white. They got closer and closer to each other, determined to reach their destination first. A single drop of sweat rolled down the side of her face; she wasn’t the kind of person to do this. Why she was doing it now was a mystery. Nevertheless, she pressed even harder on the pedal, the meter on the dashboard slowly making an upward climb. The spot got closer, as did the opposing vehicle, until Ayu could see the silhouette of the driver. Soon someone would have to make the turn away and let the other take the spot. She saw Kazumi out of the corner of her eye, breathing hard. The wheels spun harder and faster, speeding toward the opposite driver, until she could see features of his face.

It was time. Someone had to make a move…



“I can’t believe you let that guy get the spot!” Kazumi blurted out as they walked toward the entrance. “You totally had it! That guy didn’t know who he was messing with!”

“Yeah well,” Ayu responded in a lone tone and her head down. “Apparently he did; otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept going and let me have the spot. But he knew I was just enough of a wuss that I’d give up.”

“Oh come on now,” her friend reassured her, putting her arm around her shoulder. “In a game that dangerous, someone has to be the mature, sensible one to call it off. Heck, if it were me driving, we’d have both been killed!”

Ayu smiled slightly. “Yeah, I guess.”

Kazumi patted her on the back. “That’s good. Now,” she continued, taking her arm away from Ayu’s shoulders, “which store should we go in first?”

“How about this one?” Ayu asked, looking over to a huge department store to her left.

“Okey-dokey!” Kazumi chirped excitedly.

The two girls walked into the store. Inside, they found rows upon rows of brightly colored women’s clothing.

“Hmm…Where should we start?”



“Oooh…” Ayu said, taking a mint green tank top off one of the hangers. She turned it over and over in her hands. “I like this.” She checked the tag on the back of the collar. “Lets see…Good price…Right size…I’m getting this one.”

“Okay,” Kazumi said uninterested, busy looking for something to buy of her own. Ayu strolled a little farther down the aisle. Just before she was out of earshot, she heard Kazumi mutter angrily, “Man. No one makes anything in my size anymore.”

Ayu kept going down the row until she reached the jeans section. She looked through one of the revolving clothes racks She spun through the various pairs of pants, checking the tags as she did so. Soon, she found some that would probably fit her new slightly-chubby self. She walked through the store into the women’s dressing room.

She unbuttoned her jeans and felt relief come over her waist as the strain of the skin-tight jeans went away from her fatty hip, sighing loudly. Putting her leg through the hole of her new pants, she could tell they were going to be tight. She struggled slightly as she pulled them up her thighs and up to her waist. She grunted as she buttoned them and zipped them up.

“Oooh,” she said, eying herself in the mirror. “I look good!” She turned around to look at her butt, admiring how tight and round it looked in the jeans. “Oh yeah; I’m getting these!”

After taking them off and putting on her own pair of pants, she walked out of the stall, jeans in hand. She looked at the clothes that she had so far decided to buy: two pairs of jeans (not including the pair she just tried on), two short-sleeved shirts, two tank tops, a sweater, and a blouse. ‘Hmm…’ she thought. ‘Almost…One more pair of jeans should do it.’ Taking a brief scan of the store, she quickly realized she couldn’t find her friend. ‘I wonder where Kazumi is.’

As if on cue, she heard Kazumi from the stall behind her. “I’m over here, Ayu,” she said. “I heard you talk to yourself in your stall. Do you do that often?”

Ayu laughed. “Yeah,” she said. “I’m gonna go get another pair of pants.”

“Wait,” Kazumi blurted out just as Ayu turned to walk away. “I got these jeans on and I’m thinking of buying them,” her voice lowered, “but they’re a little tight and I’d like to know what you think of them.”

Ayu blinked and turned back around. “Sure.”

“Okay. Prepare yourself.”

Slowly, the door opened and Kazumi, blushing, took a nervous step out. Ayu’s eyes widened; ‘a little tight’ was an understatement. One glance at her made Ayu wonder how exactly she managed to get the jeans on. The denim was stretched far past its limits to cover her meaty thighs, each one about the width of a small tree trunk. The top of the jeans seemed way too small for her huge waist, the resulting muffin-top could only be described as a ‘soufflé-top’. Her tightly-packed belly fat hung over her waist, resting just above her mid-thigh. She turned around to give Ayu a good look at her rear. However tight and round Ayu’s new jeans made her butt look, Kazumi’s was five times that. Her monstrous ass stretched the fabric as it struggled to conceal her two basketball-sized cheeks.

Ayu didn’t know how long she was staring; but apparently it was long enough, because Kazumi piped up, “So…What do you think?”

She blinked slightly in surprise. “Yeah, I like it,” she said quickly, making sure it didn’t sound like she was hesitating. “It is a little tight, but it looks good.”

“Really?” Kazumi smiled coyly and the redness in her face started to go away. “You like it? You don’t think they’re too tight?”

“Naw; they’re just new. You gotta wear them in. Either way, they look really great.”

At this point, Kazumi’s smile widened from ear to ear and her blush completely went away. “Thanks!” she said enthusiastically, hugging her friend.

Ayu blushed slightly. “No…no problem,” she stuttered.

“Now,” Kazumi said, letting go of her friend, “I’m gonna go buy these. I’m all done here. Is there anything you else you need to buy?”

“Uhh…Y…yeah. Just one more pair of jeans.”

“Okay. How about after that, we have lunch?”

“Sure.”

“K. I’m gonna get dressed and go over there at the counter. When you’re done, come meet me over there and we’ll go to the restaurant.”

“Okay,” Ayu said as Kazumi walked of into the dressing room. “See you in a minute.”

She shook her head side to side as she herself walked over to the jeans section. ‘Should I have told her the truth about how tight those jeans were?’ she thought to herself. She looked back towards the dressing room just as Kazumi walked out with her normal pants on. A huge smile was on her face and she had a slight skip in her step. ‘Well…it put her in such a good mood. I guess there’s no problem with her wearing something a little too tight.’

She reached the jeans and started searching again to find another good pair. A smile was on her face. ‘Maybe one day, I’ll be that big.’
