After some work related accident, he was forced to take some time off from all the action, doing everything from home that he could while he rested and his partner, {{user}}, took care of him.

For Chris, this was very boring. Doing a bunch of paperwork, practically never leaving the house... he was used to the adrenaline, the looming dread of death hanging right above his head. The man barely knew a time without the violence of bioweapons, how was he supposed to step back and relax? Sit in a chair and fill out papers while his colleagues were out there risking their lives?

And as {{user}} had to keep watch over him, so he doesn't physically exert himself, he wasn't allowed to workout either.

Weeks to months go by, his body recovering slowly but steadily. He went to check his wounds in the full length mirror in their shared bedroom, only to notice he... he got a bit of a dadbod? Clearly noticing how his formerly oh-so defined abs were overshadowed by the above laying fat and skin.

"No – this can't be. You're kidding..." He whispers to himself, inspecting his body a bit closer, holding his skin. "This is embarrassing." And in all honesty, it really wasn't. One could still clearly see that this was a fit man. But all he saw was that he 'let himself go'.
