It was the start of the summer vacation, and a nine-year-old Shinx named Alex went with his father, Jamie, towards the daycare he worked at. Usually he would just play outside or watch cartoons, but his dad had convinced him to come along. He would be able to play with the cubs, and help them with certain activities.
They went inside, and were immediately greeted by two cubs, four-year-old red pandas, the twins Brendon and Bryce. “Hello Miwster Carroll.” Bryce said.
“Good morning cubs, How are you guys doing?” Mr, Caroll asked,
“Good.” Brendon asked, before examining the older Shinx cub in front of them.
Alex noticed this, and chuckled a little. “Hello kids, what’s your name?”
“I’m Brendon.” The cub on the left excitedly said.
“And I’m Bryce.” The other kit said, though much more nervous.
“How am I going to keep you guys apart?” Alex joked.
“Well I’m potty trained, while he’s still in diapers.” Brendon replied.
“They’re pull-ups!” Bryce replied as he blushed, he didn’t want the older cub to know that he still had accidents.
Alex suddenly got dreamy once he’d heard the word pull-ups. He recently was put in them on a sleepover, for good reasons, and afterwards he’d looked everywhere to get his hands on them…
“Do you wanna buiwd a tower with us?” Brendon asked, interrupting Alex’s thoughts.
“S-sure.” Alex nodded as he followed them.
They started building, and with the shinx’s help, they managed to make it really tall. But Bryce suddenly stopped as he looked flustered.
“Is there something wrong? Alex asked.
“I’m wet.” Bryce said embarrassedly.
“Wet? Did you have an accident?” the shinx continued.
“Y-yeah.” Bryce nodded.
“It’s okay.” Jamie said soothingly. “Alex, while I change Bryce, can you get some paper and glue from the storage area?” He requested.
“All right.” Alex nodded as he went inside it. The storage area was pretty large, and it would take a while before finding the stuff he needs. While searching, he found something else that caught his attention; a pack of pull-ups.
Alex looked closely at the pack, and wondered if he should wear them. He had had a lot of moments where he wanted them, such as seeing advertisements, nearly having accidents, and he even completely wet himself sometimes. Curiosity finally wins, and he takes a pull-up out of the bag. He took off his pants and undies, and slid on the pull-up. The tailhole was a bit hard, but eventually, he got it.
He carefully looked at the pull-up, it had a cute airplane design, and felt really soft. It was the second time he’d worn them, and last time he couldn’t escape the teasing from his friend. If he would get caught, then he’d never hear the end of it.
“Alex! Are you okay in there?!” His father asked from outside.
“Y-yeah.” Alex jumped from shock as he started to wet himself. He blushed as he looked at the pull-up, which was quickly absorbing the accident as the planes started to fade. “Maybe I do need them.” the cub giggled as he felt the warmth against his fur. He changed into a new pull-up, put on his clothes and went outside, nearly forgetting the paper and glue.
“There you are, what took you so long?” Mr. Cornell asked his son, before noticing the slight smell of pee clinging onto Alex's fur.
“I-I couldn’t find the supplies.” Alex said, technically telling the truth.
His father didn’t believe that that was everything, but decided not to press for answers. “Well next time, you can ask for help.” He explained, before asking the younger shinx, “Do you need to use the bathroom?”
“No dad.” Alex blushed.
“I’m just asking, since you had some accidents and close calls the past few weeks.” Jamie reminded him.
“I know!” Alex said as his blue face turned pink.
“No need to be embarrassed.” Jamie assured him.
Alex quickly tried to switch the subject. “Can I have something to drink?” He asked.
“Sure.” Jamie replied as he got a water bottle for his son. “Here you go.”
“Thank you.” Alex said as he chugged down the water, quickly finishing the bottle.
Afterwards, it was time for the arts & crafts assignment, and Alex was in charge of helping the cubs cut the paper, and keeping an eye on them. He himself also made something. Then came a story time, where Jamie allowed the shinx to be the one to read. During that, he was engaging with the cubs, asking them questions and showing them the pictures, all while his bladder was starting to fill.
By the time the story had ended, Alex’s bladder was pretty full. He walked up towards the bathroom, but was stopped by a Buizel named Maya. “Hewwo, do you wanna pway with me?” She timidly asked.
“S-sure.” Alex said as he squeezed his legs together, which seemed to be a mistake as it caused his pull-up to ruffle.
The Buizel noticed this and saw the waistband of the pull-up, and she quickly put two and two together. “Do you also wear diapers?”
Alex blushed as he hoped no one had heard what the cub said. “They’re pull-ups, but please don’t tell anyone.”
“I pwomise.” Maya replied. “But can we pway with da twains?”
“S-sure.” Alex squirmed a little, which went unnoticed.
The two of them quickly sat down near the miniature train tracks and started playing. Soon a familiar red panda approached them.
"Brendon!” Maya greeted him.
"I’m Bryce!” The red panda cub replied annoyed.
“Ow, sorry.” Maya apologized.
“Tis okay.” Bryce said, before asking, “Can I also pway?”
“Sure.” Alex nodded.
The red panda also got a train and rode the toy on the tracks. Alex was busy playing with the cubs, and ignored his bladder. But after a while, he noticed a sharp pang again and leaked a little, before squirming again. “N-no!”
“What’s wrong?” Bryce asked.
“He’s wetting his pull-up!” Maya said loudly.
“You also wear pull-ups?” Bryce asked as he got closer towards the shinx.
“Y-yeah.” Alex replied as his desperation lessened.
“It’s okay, at least you don’t have to stop playing.” Bryce replied.
Alex chuckled upon hearing that. “Shouldn’t you try to go potty?”
“Well I just always tell my parents that I’d had an accident, you could do the same.” the red panda replied.
“Maybe?” Alex actually considered it. But his thoughts were interrupted again, this time by a four year old deerling named Jackson.
“Well what are the little baby’s doing today?” The cub asked.
“We’re no little baby’s!” Bryce yelled back
“But you guys still wear diapers!” Jackson teased.
“Nu-huh! These are pull-ups!” The red panda responded.
The deerling countered by pulling down Bryce’s pull-ups, which were soaking wet and drooping. “Not such a big kid if you can't even keep your pull-ups dry.”
“But I, I. I…” Bryce stammered once he saw his wet pull-up. He had had an accident without realizing it, and the rule was that after two accidents, you would be put into diapers again.
“Big kids can also wear pull-ups!” Maya said.
“Who, you?” Jackson snarky replied.
“No.” Maya softly replied. “But Alex does.”
The grass-type pokemon bursted out laughing. “You?! Aren’t you like ten years old?”
“I’m nine.” Alex replied embarrassedly.
“Still, aren’t you too old to be needing them?” Jackson teased, before noticing that Alex was desperate, and got an idea. He got close towards the cub, and started tickling him.
“Hahaha stop! Stop!...” Alex giggled as he could barely hold on anymore, and started leaking again.
“Leav him alone!” Maya said, though still timidly.
“Please do. I really have to go!” the shinx pleaded as he continued to get tickled.
“Fine then, for now.” Jackson obeyed.
Alex struggled to get up, and the moment he did, his bladder failed again as hot liquid made its exit, soaking the pull-up. He eventually managed to stop the flow, but he knew that he couldn’t hold on forever. “I’ll be right back.”
“Why?” Bryce asked.
“I, auch!, I have to pee really bad.” Alex admitted.
“Just go now.” Bryce replied.
“In my pull-up?” Alex asked.
“Yes of course.” Maya said.
“I don’t know.” Alex considered the options. On one hand, one trip towards the bathroom could end his desperation. But then again, so would just going now. He was already pretty wet, and wouldn’t make the trip.
“You’re already wearing diapers like a little baby, so might as well make use of it.” Jackson said.
“All right Ouch!” Alex said as he felt another pang from his bladder, which was nearly exploding. He then felt his bladder going numb, and soon started peeing. A hissing sound became audible, and apart from entertaining the cubs, it also alerted his father.
“Alex, is there something?” Jamie asked.
Alex didn’t respond as he turned bright pink as he continued to pee, his now leaking pull-ups wetting his shorts and creating a puddle underneath him.
“Alex! why didn’t you try to go to the bathroom?!” his father asked.
“I’m sorry.” Alex softly responded as his eyes started to get teary.
“Ow it’s okay.” Jamie said soothingly as he approached the younger shinx.
But before Mr. Cornell was able to get close, Jackson decided to pull a prank, and pantsed the older cub, exposing his wet pull-up.
“He still wears pull-ups?” Brendon asks.
“I got out of those diapers a while ago.” A four-year-old growlithe named Oliver boasted.
“I also wear those.” A three-year-old beaver named Brittany said.
Jamie was absolutely shocked upon seeing this. “Follow me!” He told his son.
“Y-yes dad.” Alex was trying to stop the tears from flowing, but it was a losing battle as he started sobbing.
Alex’s dad took him towards the nursery, and had him lay down on a changing mat. As he examined the soaked pull-up, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Alex stammered as he tried to come up with an excuse. “I, uh, uhh.”
“Are you going to tell me why you are wearing pull-ups?” Jamie asked.
“Well I…” Alex started, before realizing that there was no point in lying. “I, I saw them in the storage room, and I wanted to wear them again.” Alex admitted.
“Again? I thought you hated wearing them at the sleepover?” Jamie replied confused.
“I, I did uh well at first.” Alex replied. “But it felt comfortable, and they looked cute…” Alex started.
“And?” Jamie continued asking.
“I liked that I didn’t have to worry about making it to the bathroom, and that it concealed my accident.” The shinx added.
“Yeah, I don’t think that worked this time buddy.” Jamie chuckled as he tore off the wet pull-up his son wore.
“So.. You aren’t mad?” Alex softly asked.
“No, of course not.” Jamie replied, before smirking. “Though since you had an accident, you should probably continue wearing them, I’ll have to bring a pack for at home.”
Alex perked up. “Really, thanks dad!” He thanked him.
“Sure thing Piddle-pants.” Jamie chuckled as he slid the diaper onto Alex, and had him stand up.
Alex looked at the design again, and chuckled. He felt like a little cub, and perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.
