Tuesday morning and it was rainy and wet outside, of course it was wet inside my diaper too. Mom was at the kitchen table reading over some paper for work.
“Morning, mom,” I yawned
“Morning, honey, sleep good?”
“Uh-huh,” I said, pouring a bowl of cereal.
“I’m going to be working late tonight, think you can find something around here for dinner?”
“Yeah, probably so.”
“Well, try not to burn the house down.”
“HA HA, a guy burns down the house a few times and no one will ever let him forget it.”
Mom laughed, we had been running this joke for years, ever since I had burnt her breakfast so bad on Mother’s Day when I was 11.
The rain kept the mood at school somber and the day seemed to just drag on and on. My fifth period class was English and our teacher had us go to the library to each pick out a book to read over the summer.
Our library kind of sucked book-wise and since we could read anything we like, and I would read many books over the summer. I virtually had the whole period to myself.
I saw Kevin sitting alone at one the big round tables that were in each of the four corners of the library. All last night before going to sleep I had thought about Kevin and why he had changed so much over the last three years. I thought about what he had done to Matt, why was he being so mean? He and Matt had always gotten along real well. Sure, we picked on Matt a bunch when he wanted to tag along with us, but that’s normal, right? I remember all of us making sure our fun never got too far out of hand, Phillip’s punishments were legendary. so I just couldn’t imagine Kevin deliberately getting his little brother in trouble.
I pulled up a chair and sat beside him. Kevin didn’t even look at me or say a word.
“Kevin?” I asked and he ignored me.
“Come on, Kevin,” I said, getting mad.
“What?” he said, his voice flat and emotionless.
“What you did to Matt was uncool.”
“You have no idea what I did or didn’t do to Matt.”
“True enough, but you’ve changed, Kevin. I know we haven’t been friends now for a couple of years. You just all of a sudden decided you didn’t like me. Why did you stop being my friend?”
“You don’t want to have this conversation here and now, Todd.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, you don’t want to have this conversation here. Drop it”
“Okay, dropped, but when then, Kevin? We were best friends, since I can remember, and man I miss our friendship.”
“Damn it, Todd, Just drop it. We’ll talk after school.”
And sure enough, after school Kevin was waiting for me just on the other side of the bleachers on my way home.
We stood there for a minute and neither one of us spoke; we just started at each other. After a few minutes I just shrugged and started walking to my house.
“That’s why,” Kevin said causing me to stop.
“What’s why?”
“Todd, I never stopped being your friend, you stopped being mine.”
“What does that mean? I never stopped being your friend”
“Bullshit. When was the last time we did anything like we used to? Just one day all of a sudden you don’t want me coming over to your house, you wouldn’t come spend the night, and if we weren’t in school then you didn’t have any use for me. You even quit scouts; you made it pretty clear how you felt,” Kevin said, his face getting red his voice becoming hot with temper.
“I had reasons, Kevin, it wasn’t you. And besides, I’m still friends with BB and Glen, they don’t think I stopped liking them because they don’t come over.”
Suddenly his anger was gone, replaced instead with a sadness that cut into me like a knife “That may be true, but I didn’t know BB or Glen either one was supposed to be your best friend”
“Damn, dude, what do you want?”
“You’re the one who asked me ‘why’ Todd. Now I’m telling you why. It was you who let our friendship drop, not me. You want to know what I want, okay, I’ll tell you what I want. I want to know why you shunned me, tell me now and without hesitation.”
I sucked in my breath and tried to pull on some of the courage I had gained over the past week. “I’ll do better than that, I’ll show you”
Christ on a crutch, what the hell was I doing? Once I showed Kevin then my life was truly going to be over. Finished. I can’t begin to explain how confused all this makes me feel. I mean, half the time I wanted everyone to see and hear my diapers; the other half the time it’s a big dark secret.
“Follow me,” I said and headed for the road, which separated the school from my house.
I unlocked the back door and led him into the kitchen and down the hall to my room. I thought my heart was about to explode in my chest. “Here that’s why” I said
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Sit down on my bed”
Kevin sat down “Okay, now why?”
“Can’t you even tell what your sitting on?!?”
“Your bed, so what?”
“It’s a plastic sheet, Kevin. That’s why I didn’t want you coming over and seeing me with a plastic sheet, or seeing my bed without sheets each day because I had wet them the night before.”
Kevin pushed his hand into the mattress and made it crinkle a bit “So? I grew up with one of these, remember; it’s no big deal. I didn’t even notice, but even if I had, why do you think I would have cared? How many times did you see me pee my pants and get in trouble?”
“Yeah you were like 6 then, and there’s a big difference when you’re almost 13.”
“Not to me there isn’t. I remember our last sleepover; all four of us were there, and it was Glen’s birthday I think, you wet the bed that night?”
“Yeah, and that was the last time I had a sleepover, either, your dad gave me as much shit as he used to give you.”
“I told you then that I didn’t care if you wet the bed, AND IT WAS MY BED YOU WET. So your birthday rolls around and you didn’t even invite anyone to sleep over. That was tradition! I could forgive the once, but then my birthday came and you wouldn’t come over. What was I supposed to think?”
“I didn’t even think about that, I just didn’t want you to find out that I was wetting my bed all the time”
“I wouldn’t have cared. Honest. I don’t care now. Why couldn’t you just get those bedwetter pants anyways? My dad wouldn’t have known about that.”
“I didn’t even know they existed. And speaking of bedwetter pants, if you supposedly don’t care about these things then why in the hell did you get Matt in so much trouble yesterday?’
“Wha? I meant to ask how you know about that. I didn’t get him in any trouble he didn’t ask for. It was his damn idea, he hid them where he thought mom would find them and she didn’t. So he wanted me to go tell Mom he was hiding diapers in his room, he thought Mom was going to make him wear them I think, but instead she freaked out and dad gave him a whipping.”
“I guess he’s was too young to remember the whippings you used to get for wetting your pants,” I laughed for the first time since we started this talk.
“No, and I tried to tell him. I told him he would be better off keeping them hidden than mom and dad finding out. He’s a stubborn little prick sometimes. Still after he got whipped he got what he wanted, he has to wear them for the next three nights.”
“Man, I am so sorry; I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything, and I didn’t mean to push you away. I was just scared, I didn’t want to lose your friendship and I guess that’s what I did.”
“No you didn’t, it has just been on hold, but damn it, Todd, did you think that little of me that you thought I would stop being your friend and throw away our friendship just because you wet the bed?”
“I’m sorry that was stupid of me.”
“Damn straight it was. I better call Mom real quick and tell her where I’m at.”
I sat at my desk stunned while Kevin went to use the phone.
He came back to my room and sat on the bed.
“Um Kevin there’s something else, too.” I thought to myself ‘In for a penny in for a pound eh’ before letting the bomb drop “Look next to my trunk.”
“Whoa, those yours?” Kevin asked picking up the open bag of Prevail’s.
“No I’m hiding diapers in my room for your brother. Of course they’re mine,” I said, falling into the old patterns of our friendship.
“Those the same as your cousins wear?”
It was my turn to be surprised. “How’d you know about that?”
“Well I made Matt tell me where he had gotten the Goodnites at. He was supposed to try and get me one of Rob’s diapers next time he was over, for me to try on. I figured there was no chance of me getting an invite because, well you know, because we weren’t speaking and I figured your cousin hated me as much as you did.”
“I can get you that invite now, I bet!” I said
“Do your aunt and uncle really change them?”
“Yeah, they do”
“Wow! Does your mom change you, too?”
“Nope. She did the first few days and then she made it pretty clear I could wear diapers if I wanted, but it was my job to take care of them”
“Have you ever worn them during the day?” Kevin asked, getting more excited.
“Yeah, I wore to the fair the other day, and some on the weekends, too.”
“God that is so cool. Your cousins, too?”
“I think so, but I’m not sure.” I didn’t think it was my place to say anything about Rob and Rick
“So, what do you like them or something?”
“Honestly, yes. I’d wear them all the time if I could.” There it is, the big one, if diapers didn’t shock him, that will. He’ll be running out the door any second now.
“In all my life I never expected to meet another TB in all of Alabama, much less one in my own town who just so happens to be my best friend!” By the time he had it out of his mouth he looked like he regretted his choice of words.
At first TB didn’t even phase me, that Kevin should know the term much less use it in conversation. For the moment I was just happy he called me his best friend, even after a little over two years that we could patch things up was amazing. “It’s okay, I know what you mean, I am just beginning to learn how much I love diapers, so I guess I am a TB too, although I think I just like the diapers more than being a baby.”
He picked back up my bag of diapers and stared at the package. “Can I?” He asked.
“Knock yourself out,” I told him.
He picked a diaper from the package and set it down on the bed. I had halfway expected him to run to the bathroom or something, but instead he took off his shoes sitting right there on the edge of my bed.
I went ahead and pulled the changing mat out. “Here ya go, this way you don’t get powder or anything on my bed.”
He stood up and put the pad out on my bed before lying back down on top of it. He just lay there for a minute before looking at me expectantly. “Come on now, hook me up.”
“Huh?”
“Dude, come on. Put the diaper on me, I’ll put one on you, too”
This was absolutely f*ing surreal. It would seem that anything I think I know is probably wrong. A half hour ago I thought Kevin hated me, and in the space of an afternoon he is begging me to diaper him. Earth is probably back to being flat again, too, and the moon is made of Swiss cheese. I think I must have fallen down some rabbit hole and ended up in Oz or something.
I pushed his t-shirt up on his chest giving me a bit of room to work with. I fumbled for a minute before I got his pants unbuttoned and his fly down. His jeans came off his hips easy enough and I just went ahead and pulled them off all together. Kevin’s penis was obviously erect and straining at the front of his jockey shorts. I heard his breath catch as I pulled his underwear down, which caused his penis to flop back and forth a few times before finally resting at attention.
“Excited, aren’t you?” I asked as I unfolded the diaper.
“Dude, more than you know, man I’ve wanted this all my life. All those times as a kid, when I wet, I wanted so badly for mamma to put me in one of Matt’s diapers, he was still wearing them to bed and I wanted them so badly. I’ve dreamed about this” He lifted his butt in the air so I could slide the diaper under him.
I got my oil and powder out and started to oil his diaper area, his breathing accelerated and he seemed to grow even stiffer. “Truth is, I had planned to wet the bed if you had kept wetting yours, so we could be the same, and if one of us got diapers well then we both would. Then all of a sudden you didn’t want to be around me and I didn’t know what to do, I figured you had somehow figured out what I wanted and thought I was a freak. And Todd, a few minutes ago I lied to you. I noticed your plastic sheet as soon as I sat down, do you know how I wish I still had one on my bed?”
After I had powdered his crotch I pulled the diaper up between his legs. The front of the diaper wouldn’t lay flat because of his erection and that made it a bit more difficult to tape on, but I finally got it.
Kevin stood back up and his t-shirt fell back into place. He looked at himself in the mirror just grinning at his reflection. Is that the way I looked at myself the other night at Auth Sarah’s? Kevin’s diaper was tented out severely in the front still; I wondered how the tapes were managing to hold. I opened my top drawer and on a whim got out my snap on fire truck pants, which I handed to him. “Here you go, big fella, my favorite pants.”
“God, Todd, you got baby pants too?”
Kevin snapped the pants together and then stepped into them before again turning to gaze in my mirror. He rubbed the outside of his diaper the same way I had done. I laughed.
“You should have seen your little brother; he did the exact same thing. So did I for that matter.”
“Okay a deal’s a deal. Let’s get you changed.”
I had already kicked my shoes off, so I went ahead and lay down on my bed. Kevin pushed my shirt all the way up into my armpits. I started to undo my belt for him, but he told me “I’ve got it” and he brushed my hands away. He opened my belt and with more ease than I had with his, Kevin undid my pants. He took my jeans and boxers down at one time, my own erection mimicking his as he slid a diaper up under me.
Kevin took the baby oil and began rubbing it in, and when he got to my penis he kept rubbing and rubbing until I had to tell him to stop or I was going to come all over. “Sokay, I don’t mind.” His tempo got quicker and within another couple of minutes I was spent. Kevin used a baby wipe to clean me off before he sprinkled powder onto my diaper area. My penis had gone soft and Kevin took no hesitation in arranging it so my dick hung over my balls before pulling the diaper between my legs and taping it down.
Kevin opened my top drawer and rummaged about in my pants before finding a pair of pull-ons for me. They were probably my second favorite pair of pants; they were light blue and decorated with cartoon zoo animals. He slipped the pants over my ankles and had me stand so he could pull them up over my diaper.
Kevin went to his school things and got his gym shorts out and pulled them on over his diaper. I got out some shorts too and pulled them on at which point we both headed to the kitchen.
“Mom won’t be back for a bit, so I’m on my own for dinner.
Wanna stay?”
“Sure, lemme call Mom again and let her know,”
I went and pulled the freezer open and got us a couple of potpies out and threw them in the oven.
We played games on the PS2 for an hour or so until the timer went off and we went into the kitchen to eat dinner. I was putting our silverware in the dishwasher when Mom pulled up into the driveway.
“Mom’s home if you want to go change,” I told Kevin.
“It’s all right, you said she knows about your cousins, right? She’ll know about me, too, I guess,” Kevin said
The idea made me uneasy, but it was too late for me to do anything. The car door closed and mom was headed for the door when I hissed to Kevin “Dude, what if she tells your mom?”
It was obvious that Kevin hadn’t thought about that as he suddenly had a frenzied panic look in his eyes.
“Too late now,” was all I could say before mom stepped through the door.
“I’m home!” Mom called out stepping through the door with a white plastic bag on her arm.
“Hi mom!” I said.
“Hi, Ms. Arlen” Kevin said as calm and cool as could be, showing none of the panic from a moment ago.
“Kevin! It’s so nice to see you!” Mom saw the pot pie boxes sitting on the counter “Did you boys just get done eating?”
“Yes ma’am, just got done loading the dishwasher,” I said.
“Well, I stopped at the store on the way home. Since you boys are done eating, would you two please give me a hand with the groceries, please?”
I think Kevin had thought to not move around too much with mom around, but what could he do now? He knew he was busted. Reluctantly, he followed me out to the driveway and grabbed several of the plastic bags to take in.
We put the groceries on the counter and Mom asked me to give her a hand carrying a box to her lab. Mom had converted the garage into a lab so she could do some work from home. She had all of her equipment set up and it was not unusual for her to get rocks and dirt mailed to her several times a week.
“Be right back, man” I told Kevin before going to help Mom.
I grabbed the box from her trunk and carried it into the garage where mom was waiting.
“So I take it you and Kevin patched things up?” She asked.
“Yes ma’am” and then I told her the abbreviated version of our conversation leading up to the point where he asked to try a diaper.
“I am so glad you two have reconciled” Mom said genuinely happy.
“I guess I did push him away, didn’t I?”
“A little, but he was a true friend, waiting for you. You should be grateful”
“Mom I know it’s a school night, but do you think Kevin could stay over?” I asked.
Mom didn’t answer right away so I chipped in. “I can even lend him some of my clothes in the morning”
“I see you’ve already done that,” Mom said dryly.
“Oh, that. You noticed. Umm”
“Don’t explain. I don’t think I want to know. What is it with boys and diapers these days?”
“He just wanted to see what they’re like. I think he felt sorry for me, and wanted to show me they weren’t a big deal to him. Don’t tell his mom okay, Mrs. Rosetick just wouldn’t understand.” Score one for Aunt Sarah’s reasoning, I thought
“Now Todd, I wont lie to Anelda, but I wont go out of my way to tell her, either. That’s the best you’re going to get. Now as far as sleeping over, it is a school night, but as long as you two don’t stay up too late and his parents say it’s okay then I don’t see why not.”
“Thanks, Mom!” I said as I hugged her before running back to the kitchen.
“Hey man, stay the night? Mom said it was okay.”
“For real? I don’t know if mom will let me but I can ask!”
Kevin got the okay to stay, but only after telling his mom that I would loan him clean clothes in the morning.
Later that night just before we got ready for bed Kevin asked me “Did your mom say anything about my diaper?”
“Nah, she noticed, but she’s cool. She said she wouldn’t tell your mom unless she was flat out asked and then she said she wouldn’t lie.”
“Todd, your Mom is so cool.”
And I smiled to myself, yeah she is, at that. I had wet my diaper several times so just after I got undressed I got my stuff out to change.
“Need a hand?” Kevin asked.
“Sure, why not?” I replied letting him change my diaper.
I reciprocated and gave him his PJ’s to put on. I was still pulling on my t-shirt when mom knocked on my door.
“Come on in, we’re decent,” I said.
Mom opened the door. “There’s pudding and milk in the kitchen, but after that you need to brush your teeth and then off to bed.”
“Yes ma’am” We both managed in unison.
