Carltober: Naked Carl
Carl ponders about his body.
Carl had a curious relationship with his body.
At times, especially when younger, he felt ashamed of being chubby. It was a bully's favourite to remark him on his weight, and even after the fat began to conceal increasingly stronger muscles as he grew those thoughts didn't erode away.
Even his friends occasionally pocked at him. Still, it was in jest, and he didn't take that seriously.
And, as he grew, he realised fat had its benefits.
Chase dug him, sweatier than usual when they were together outide and his shirt molded his pecs. Flynn dug him, in fact teasing him for his weight was pretty much a sign the lizard wanted to get some.
And in Pueblo, a few supposedly straight guys eyed him with curiosity.
So yes, his body was perfect. And in the end, lvoe eroded away the hatred.
