#20 with keith, and for pushing the limits maybe with him being cheeky by thinking the new diaper texture the team bought is icky so he keeps on slipping out of them?
“Come here Keith. It’s time for a diaper change.” Shiro said as he rolled out the boy’s changing mat and got out all the other supplies he needed.
The toddler got up from where he had been sitting in front of the tv and went over to his caregiver. He laid down on the mat and turned his head back to the cartoon playing on the tv.
Shiro undid his wet diaper, cleaned him up, then slid a clean one under him. The boy frowned at the different texture and glanced down to the diaper. It wasn’t one of the ones he usually wore! The pattern on the front was different and the texture of the padding felt icky.
“Noo.” Keith whined in protest, wanting one of his other diapers. Not one of these icky ones.
His caregiver stopped at his whine. “No what?” He asked, not understanding what the boy meant.
Keith squirmed on the changing mat and frowned. “Diaper.”
“Oh. I’m sorry kiddo, they didn’t have the diapers we usually buy at the mall when we went shopping. It’s just for a little bit, okay?” Shiro explained.
“No.” The little groaned. “Icky.”
Shiro rubbed his belly soothingly. “You don’t like them? They don’t feel good?” He asked.
“Yea.” Keith nodded in response to both questions.
The caregiver hummed in thought. “Okay kiddo, I’ll talk to Coran and figure something out. But until then, you gotta wear these.” He said, patting the inside of Keith’s still untapped diaper.
“No.” The boy said stubbornly as he crossed his arms. He didn’t want to wear an icky diaper at all!
Shiro chuckled a bit at his protest. “Kiddo, you need to wear a diaper. I know it feels icky, I’m sorry.” He pulled the front of the diaper over the boy’s hips and taped it closed, ignoring the little’s squirming and whines as he did.
Keith started crying as soon as the diaper was on. He hated the way it felt! He would rather be naked than wear an icky diaper. The little couldn’t grab the tapes with his baby coordination, so he tried pushing the diaper off his hips.
His caregiver, who was cleaning up the changing area, didn’t notice until it was halfway off. “Hey!” He said as he grabbed the waistband of the diaper and shimmied it back to where it was supposed to be, then redid the tapes so it wouldn’t fall down. “If you’re gonna try to take it off, you’re going to have to wear pants.” He warned.
“No!” Keith hiccupped. He didn’t like wearing pants either. The boy was used to running around in just a diaper, which was something that Shiro started so he could see when he was wet. Pants were constricting and not fun to play in.
“Okay then.” Shiro lifted the little into his arms and patted his back. “Let’s go talk to Coran now, okay? Who do you wanna bring with us?” He asked, motioning to the boy’s stuffed animals.
“Black.” Keith sniffled.
*****
While Shiro and Coran discussed what to do about the diaper situation, Keith was allowed to play with his stuffed animal on the floor. He was still upset and grumpy, so he just sat there and hugged his black lion with a scowl on his face.
Then, after a few minutes, the adults walked to the back of the med bay. The little realized they were distracted and hid behind an exam table. He didn’t care what Shiro said, he wanted this diaper off!
A minute later, he managed to wiggle the diaper off and hid it in a drawer nearby. If Shiro couldn’t find the diaper, he couldn’t put it back on him.
He sat down on the floor and picked up his plushie again, in a much better mood now that the icky feeling was gone. He played with Black to entertain himself while he waited for the adults to come back. Then he wouldn’t have to wear the icky diapers again, because his caregiver said that Coran was gonna get him new ones.
The little played for a while before he heard a laugh from above him. He looked up to see Coran smiling down at him. “Hello, my boy. You really don’t like those diapers do you?” The man said as he crouched down to his level and picked him up, then sat him on the table he’d been sitting behind.
Keith shook his head. “Icky.”
Shiro came up to them next, though his reaction was not as amused. “Keith!” He scolded lightly. “Where did you put your diaper?”
“No.” The boy huffed.
Coran chuckled again. “Don’t worry about it Shiro, I’ll find it later.” He said to the other man before he turned his attention to the toddler. “I think I have something that will make the diapers feel better. Want to try it?”
Keith grinned and nodded.
