Velvet Leaps to Conclusions

Quick heads-up: This fic technically takes place in the RWBY Degenerate AU I’ve done a number of commissions for. All you really need to know for this fic, in particular, is that this takes place when Velvet is a fourth year at Beacon and is either 19 or 20 depending on when her birthday is. Also, this is a degen AU, so Ruby and her gang have been up to some… fun stuff~.

At the height of the day, Velvet was contentedly humming to herself while flicking through the pictures she’d taken recently. The rabbit faunus had been particularly busy as of late, so while she’d been taking a lot of photos, she hadn’t been getting many chances to look back on them. Sure, she also didn’t need to since she had a photographic memory and all, but it’s not like she could remember everything all at once. That would be confusing and painful for her brain. It was way better to have little snapshots of time to be able to send her brain directly to.

Besides, it was also nice to be able to just relax and see what she’d seen but had been too busy to properly think about. Such as… oh, this picture of Cardin misjudging the water fountain’s strength and getting sprayed! She’d gotten this picture just as the water was hitting his eyes but he hadn’t reacted yet! She’d taken it by chance while running to a mission and hadn’t gotten the chance to look at the picture at the time, but now she could! Oh, she could see the way he glanced around afterward to see if anyone saw as if it was yesterday! It had actually been two weeks and three days ago, but it would always be fresh in Velvet’s mind!

Oh, also, also! This picture of Jaune in a miniskirt! He was so embarrassed and his face so red, but he had also been so cute! OK, yeah, Velvet had taken this photo over a year ago and had seen it many, many times, but it was still a fantastic memory to get called back to from time to time!

Back to more recent photos, there were also some of the younger students training. Many of them were still novices, but Velvet could pick up a few good moves from them still. She’d have to look over those memories in more detail later. Besides those, there was a selfie with Coco after a successful Wraith hunt (so cute!), a rare picture of Doctor Oobleck without his coffee, the usual photos she stockpiled of her peers fighting, and…

Velvet blinked. She had blanked on this picture. Her team, Team CFVY, had just gotten an emergency call to save a caravan, so she’d been in a massive rush that day and had only snapped the picture since it was so rare to see pregnant women on Beacon’s campus. Now that she went back and thought, though… Her eyes flew open. She stared down at the photo on her camera as if somehow her memories were faulty. She knew they weren’t. They never were. She just didn’t understand how they weren’t this time. Sure enough, though, there they were… Ruby and Blake, starring as Beacon’s newest preggo couple.

Except they weren’t. Velvet distinctly remembered meeting Ruby three days prior to this photo before Ruby left on a mission, as well as meeting both Ruby and Blake four days after the photo was taken. Their stomachs had been normal-sized both times. Yes, their stomachs were notably larger than they’d been even just a year ago, but that was from muscle and fat - not a child. They were sporting fantastically-sized stomachs in this photo, though. Each girl could easily be carrying an overdue child - Ruby might even be carrying two or three. Not that they were pregnant. Again, they couldn’t have been. So what was this, then…?

Velvet pulled her legs to her chest and bit her thumbnail while she tried to sort out her memories. She was relaxing in a small nook in the library that she’d found a long time ago. She used to hide from Cardin and his team here, but now that he’d somewhat mellowed out, she came here just to enjoy the quiet.

She’d rather be cuddling here with Coco, truthfully, but the lovely woman was shopping for clothes - a pastime that Velvet didn’t enjoy much. All the colors and designs made her head spin, and while it wasn’t often, some people in the city still made a point of commenting on Velvet’s… faunus traits. She didn’t mind it much herself, but she knew those kinds of things would spoil the whole trip for Coco, so…

Back to the photo, though. Velvet closed her eyes and tried to look over every little bit of what she’d seen in the brief moments before she’d gone back to running. While her memory was perfect, what she’d seen might not have been. She couldn’t zoom and enhance or anything. All she had was what she’d seen - and what she’d seen was… weird. Both Ruby and Blake’s stomachs had been round, tight, and heavy in appearance, leading to Velvet’s assumption of pregnancy. But… it didn’t add up in more ways than just the timeline. Their clothes had been too tight as if they hadn’t been expecting this, and the two had seemed to be supporting each other in their hurried walk… wait, hurried? Right! They’d looked tired, but they certainly hadn’t been taking their time walking. So with all that in mind, the answer was definitely… definitely… uh… definitely…

Figurative smoke started spewing out of Velvet’s elongated ears. She didn’t know. All she had was maybe five seconds of visual memory and a picture! It also was none of her beeswax, but now she was dying to know what all this was about! She could just ask them-

Velvet swallowed hard. Nope. Not happening. Joking and sassing with her friends was one thing, but walking right up to her friends and asking them about a very specific moment that happened over two weeks ago that Velvet hadn’t been involved in? A moment that might have been very serious and-slash-or intimate? That was an impossible task.

So now the bunny girl was left with just her imagination. All her imagination could think of was some stupid rapid-pregnancy thing an upperclassman had made once to mock her for being a rabbit. That was one of the memories that Velvet really wished she could scrub away…

Actually, though, something else was coming to mind. Many, many memories of how she would feel when she would overeat, as well as a few jokes Coco had made about ‘feeling pregnant’ after going to a buffet. Neither of them had ever gotten as big as Ruby and Blake had, but those two had definitely gotten larger appetites in recent months, so maybe it was possible…?

Velvet shook her head. No way. No way! To eat that much was physically impossible! There was no chance! None at all!

But still… the idea that it could be… kept pulling Velvet back in…

The bunny faunus slapped her cheeks and stood up. She wasn’t going to be able to focus on her photos again until she proved to herself that it wasn’t possible! She would just have to eat until she couldn’t anymore, then compare her stomach’s size to the memory of… Blake’s, since she’d gotten a better view of her stomach. She’d take into account Blake’s larger appetite and fluffier body, too. If Velvet couldn’t eat the right proportion to prove that their stomachs hadn’t been from food, then she’d be forced to throw this stupid theory away!

While she walked to the campus grocer to stock up, Coco couldn’t help but feel like she was forgetting something. Naturally, she ignored that feeling. She literally couldn’t forget things, so it was fine!

--------------------------------------------------------------

“I… might have gone overboard on this…”

Velvet stood alone in her team’s room with the food she’d bought. Too much food. She hadn’t been sure how much she’d need, so she’d just bought a quantity of food that she thought might match how much Blake might’ve had in her. Unsurprisingly, for a stomach that looked overdue, the food equivalent was… hefty.

Velvet’s ears drooped as she sighed aloud. Well… might as well get started. She took off her school blazer and laid it on her bed, then undid her white undershirt and dropped her plaid school skirt. If she was going to pig out, she didn’t want to dirty her school clothes. She threw on a dark pink tank top and sat down on her bed.

She wanted to get this done before any of her teammates got back, so she would need to eat quickly. She had boxes of cereal, a pint of ice cream, a quart of milk, and a whole slew of fruits. Also, some carrots and a rare find of bottled cactus tea. Velvet hated eating carrots in front of others since it only made them see her as even more of a rabbit, but… they were so tasty!

The bunny woman started with a box of sugar bombs. She opened up the box and… stared into the box for a moment as she realized that she didn’t have a bowl to pour it into. Or a spoon. Drat. She sighed again. She could work around this. Velvet disdainfully grabbed a handful of crunchy cereal and poured it into her open mouth. A shiver ran down her spine as she took that first bite. So good~. She didn’t eat cereal very often, but it really was yummy! Velvet quickly ate a few more handfuls, then grabbed her quart of milk and rinsed her mouth out with it. Whole milk was the best with cereal!

Velvet happily snacked on the cereal like this until she realized that she was starting to get mostly the kinda icky cereal crumbs from the bottom of the bag. She’d already eaten the whole box? Wow, it was hard to gauge how much she was eating without a plate or bowl. If she had a bottomless cereal box and milk jug, would she just keep on eating until she exploded? Velvet giggled at the thought while she grabbed a bunch of bananas to eat next. As gruesome as eating-induced exploding was in theory, it sounded kind of funny to Velvet. Getting such a big belly that you burst from it… hee-hee! Like that could happen!

The bananas were tasty, too. Velvet made short work of each yellow fruit while casually leaning back on her bed. At some point, she’d reached the level of fullness where her belly felt solid and tight. She would normally stop there, but for the sake of her ability to concentrate, she kept eating today. Velvet stacked the banana peels next to herself while she ate. One, two, four, eight…

Nine! Nine bananas, all in her belly! It had been easier than Velvet had thought, even after all that cereal… She took a heavy swig from her milk and gave her stomach a few solid pats. Her tank top had fit just right before, but now it was tight on her middle and showed a lot of creamy skin above her undies. She was really rounding out here! Velvet giggled and pressed down on her belly. It was already so hard! There was no way she would get as big as Blake had been if she was already this solid so early on! Still, she had to finish her test, so… next!

Velvet went for the handful of apples she’d picked up next. The fresh crunch and load of juices felt so nice after the soft, mushy bananas! Each apple went down easily with Velvet gladly eating even the cores, leaving the seeds inside of the empty cereal box. She put the banana peels in the box as well while she was at it. Then she moved on to another box that still had its tasty cereal inside…

This box went significantly faster than the first. Velvet had hit her stride, shoveling cereal into her mouth almost as fast as she could chew it. It was such a strange feeling to be so full and yet still be eating! She could almost feel her stomach physically swelling, pressing more and more against her tank top and the top of her panties. Despite being so full, she could still keep eating though! She didn’t feel sick or nauseous like she usually did if she overdrank trying to keep up with Coco and Yatsuhashi. She just felt tight and heavy, which… honestly, she didn’t dislike. It felt pretty nice, actually. If this was really what Ruby and Blake had done to get so big, then Velvet couldn’t fault them. Was that weird? That was weird, right?

Regardless of how strange enjoying being overfull might have been, Velvet gladly polished off her box of cereal and decided to enjoy her dessert early. She popped open her pint of butter pecan ice cream and used a plastic spoon she’d grabbed at the market to get her first taste. Her ears shot straight up and a shiver ran down her spine. So gooood! Velvet didn’t get ice cream very often (not for any particular reason; she just didn’t crave sugar very frequently), so whenever she got the urge for some of the cold cream, it always satisfied! Velvet scooped up the ice cream at a rapid pace, barely letting the sweet treat melt in her mouth at all before swallowing it. Was it just her imagination, or did this ice cream taste even better than usual? She didn’t have a perfect memory for taste, unlike images, so she couldn’t be sure, but either way… it sure seemed like it did at the moment!

Before she knew it, Velvet was scraping the bottom of the cardboard container. She frowned and tipped the carton above her head, willing every last drop of ice cream into her mouth. Ooooh, why had she eaten it so quicklyyyy? She still wanted more! She was far from hungry, but for whatever reason, she felt like that ice cream had opened up a pit on her stomach! She set the carton aside and rubbed her stomach. It was chilly! Scarfing a whole pint of ice cream was bound to do that, huh? Hee-hee~. Oh, and so round! Her tank top had shifted up her formerly svelte figure and had given her fingers full access to her smooth and tight lower belly. She giggled as she rubbed her taut skin. So much food was inside her, but she could still go for more!

True to her thoughts, Velvet took a few heavy swigs of milk as a palette cleanser before popping open her third box of cereal. This was a bland brand of cornflakes, but it still tasted way better than usual! Velvet happily crunched through handful after handful of the plain flakes, caring less and less about the mess she was making on her top and her bed. Her belly was starting to feel heavy on her slender frame, but that was just making that pit in her middle crave more! More and more and more!

Towards the end of her cornflakes, Velvet’s mouth felt dry, so she upended the quart of milk and chugged the third of it that was left. She could feel her belly stretch and quiver from the rapid introduction of so much liquid, which sent a shiver racing through Velvet’s body and a spark of excitement through her brain. She closed up the empty milk bottle and tossed it aside. Then she massaged her belly, which was starting to feel a little sore, and belched. Velvet had a stupid little grin on her face as she rolled up her tank top to get better access to her whole belly. Her tummy was so big and so smooth! So TIGHT, too! She could barely even press her fingers in anymore from how much resistance there was! Hee hee hee… So much food, so much weight, all in her one little tum… This was amazing!

Velvet let out another burp, then hoisted herself to her feet. She wobbled at first from the unexpected momentum she got from her larger belly. She giggled again and wobbled her way over to the dorm room’s mirror. Oh, just look at her! She was so big and swollen! Her cheeks were red and hot as she pulled her tank top back down… and it didn’t even get close to reaching the hem of her panties. She could force it down over her belly button, but when she let go, it would zip back up and rest right above the divet in her otherwise round belly. Haha! She really was HUGE! How was it even possible for such a small lady to get so-

Oh, crap! Right! The purpose of this whole thing! Velvet closed her eyes and compared her current size to Blake’s. Uuuuh… Yeah, no, she was still smaller - and by no small degree. Sheesh, what had the cat and gremlin combo DONE to get themselves so massive!? Velvet was having a great time being so full, but she could still tell that she was getting close to popping! Was it really possible for there to be such a wide gap between them? If so, then what was it from? Genetics? Practice? Both? Velvet couldn’t do much about her genetics, but as for practice…

Once again, Velvet seemed to have buried the lead as she traipsed back over to her bed and grabbed her final box of cereal. She stood next to her bed and restarted the process of stuffing her face with the breakfast flakes. Her belly felt tighter when she was standing than when she was sitting, and this difference only became more pronounced as Velvet gracelessly glutted herself. She started to pant about halfway through the box from how tight her belly was getting, but she wasn’t done yet! She was big, but not big enough! More, more - bigger, heavier, tighter!

The cereal was done. Velvet, desperate for more, immediately snatched up the bottle of cactus tea and tore the top off. She forced the bottle to her lips and started to unsteadily chug, holding the two-liter bottle with one hand while the other rubbed tight circles along her tense flank. The bitter-sweet liquid barely registered on Velvet’s tongue, but its presence was more than acknowledged by her tummy. It gurgled and pricked at her skin as it swelled dangerously quickly. Velvet’s face burned hotter as excitement coursed through her whole being. Not yet! She could still fit more! Maybe she’d even burst! Hee! Hee hee hee! Her belly was too tight to fit more, but it was still stretching! How much farther could she go? Velvet couldn’t wait to find out!

Tea dripped from the corners of Velvet’s mouth. Her eyes were half-closed and her legs trembled. She was almost done! Her belly was wailing and twitching, but it could keep going! More… just a bit more… she was going to pop… so close… so CLOSE…!

*Hic-UUUUUUUrp!*

Velvet dropped the empty bottle and panted plaintively, both hands resting happily on her distended upper belly. Her tank top had slid even further up her figure, resting closer to her chest than her belly button. Heck, even her panties had been forced to shift with them now being tugged slightly down her hips and rear. Velvet’s mouth was fixed in a lazy grin. She unsteadily turned around, then flopped onto her butt. The contents of her overtight belly sloshed around and she belched again. Then she flopped again onto her back. Her giant tummy obscured everything that she could hope to see of her lower body as it stuck straight up in the air. It was a tight, rigid, disgustingly massive belly… and it was her belly… ha… haha…

A smell made Velvet’s nose twitch. Ah, right! Her carrots! She idly took one from her bag and nibbled on it, unable to stop herself from further punishing her poor tummy. She shivered as her ab muscles prickled and twitched. She kept snacking anyways, though. She wasn’t going to get as big as Blake, but she was maybe halfway? Maybe Velvet just felt bigger than she actually was, but either way… Velvet would be more than happy to try again in the future to reach that pseudo-pregnant size-

The dorm room door clicked unlocked. Velvet’s ears went rigid and her eyes grew as wide as dinner plates. OOOOOOOH no-

====================================================

It's FINALLY here! Moving has been a bitch and I haven't had internet for most of it, but finally, I'M BACK, NERDS!

This fic ended up being shorter than I would've liked, but methinks the vibe came out really well! I don't do characters that completely shamelessly stuff themselves in private but are shy being bellyful around others nearly enough.

Also, pic added for reference to what Velvet looks like since I continue to be very mid when it comes to describing characters in-story.

I'll be getting a regular fic out soon as well! Very soon! I promise! Also, the poll will be up in, like, ten minutes! K thx baiiii!
