Lutro is a small otter who lives with his dad. He wears glasses and is often seen wearing just shorts and no shirt. He lives near the river, só he can enjoy his swimming and that means that he gets to wear very little clothing plenty of the time. He is usually upbeat and chatty, self-confident. But he has a bit of a potty problem that strikes him at some nights. And that worries him. Lutro was invited by his friend, Kuniklo, the rabbit, to spend the weekend at Kuniklo’s house. While that may not seem like a big deal for most cubs, Lutro fears that he will pee, or worse, poop while asleep. To make matters worse, he is shy about using the bathroom in places other than his home. But, upon being presented with such an invitation, he hurriedly accepted, forgetting for a moment about his problem. Not only; if he refused, it would be unlike him and Kuniklo would inquire further… While Lutro prepared himself to go visit Kuniklo, his dad walked up to him in his room. - Lutro – said Lutro’s dad. -, are you sure about that? - I don’t know, dad… - answered Lutro, honestly. – I don’t want to go back on my word. I wish I had refused… - Don’t you want to take some diapers with you? Lutro thought about it. Maybe it would be a good idea. But would he even have the privacy to change into one? - I guess! – said Lutro, wanting to take the challenge. Lutro grabbed three diapers and put them in his backpack. “Provided Kuniklo does not peek inside my backpack”, he thought, “I’ll be fine”. And só, Lutro left his dad and walked upstream, wearing just shorts with briefs under, his sandals and his backpack. He arrived at Kuniklo’s house. The entrance to the house was made in a tree trunk. - Kuniklo! – called Lutro, knocking at the door. Kuniklo opened the door. The tree trunk led to a row of stairs, that went underground. - Lutro! – said Kuniklo, hugging his friend. The rabbit wore glasses too, was pretty tubby, had a missing tooth and was wearing diapers himself, mostly for comfort, but also to catch some accidents that still happened to him. Both were third-graders and were past the age at which most cubs had accidents… That made Lutro feel better about himself. - You were leisuring – said Lutro, patting Kuniklo’s diaper butt. - Yeah – said Kuniklo. – No point wearing much while indoors. Should have at least put shorts on before opening the door to you… - Worry not! – ensured Lutro. – Come on, show me your house. They went underground. The place was a complex of tunnels, ventilated by a master tunnel that led to many tree trunks on surface. When it rained, the water could not easily enter, as the holes in the trunks were disposed vertically across the trunks. When the wind blew outside, the tunnels were filled with air current. The light was electric. The two cubs entered Kuniklo’s room. It had a characteristic smell of baby powder and a hint of urine. Kuniklo noticed and got all bashful. - Hold on… - he says, going to his diaper pail and putting it inside his closet. - Are you sure that’s sanitary? – asked Lutro. - Well, it will have to be… - I don’t mind that smell, don’t worry! – Lutro said, smiling. - Really? How come? – asked Kuniklo, in disbelief. Lutro could say that he felt that smell from time to time when he wet the bed, but decided against it. - Well, nevermind – said Lutro. – Do as you please, buddy. With the pail taken care of, they sat down to play videogames, while eating cookies and drinking milk. And só, Lutro’s bladder began to fill… but he felt shy about asking to use the bathroom. “I’ll go at some point, when he is not looking”, he thought to himself. Lutro reduced the fluid intake… but not for long, because the milk was just só tasty. In a few hours, the milk jug was dry and the cookies were gone. Lutro’s bladder was pretty full, but he was too shy still. The smell of urine came again and was closer this time. Kuniklo had wet his own diaper, probably out of habit, or because he didn’t want to use the bathroom while being around his friend. - Kuniklo – says Lutro. -, do you want a diaper change? - Oh! – says Kuniklo. – This diaper can hold more, don’t worry. It can hold another pee in it. Lutro daydreamed about peeing in Kuniklo’s diaper. “That could be my pee…”, he thought to himself. And só, the day continued. Lutro began to grab his crotch and keep his penis squeezed. - Gosh… - he said, under his breath. - Do you have to use the washroom? – asked Kuniklo. - No, I’m fine – said Lutro. Kuniklo insisted: - You clearly need to pee, Lutro… Just go, I can tell you where the bathroom is… Lutro, seeing that it was pointless to keep that act, decided to confess: - Okay, I need to pee, indeed… but I’m too shy about going… Just tell me where the bathroom is and I’ll go when I feel courageous enough. Kuniklo smiled and got up. He held Lutro’s paw and guided him towards the bathroom. It had a squat toilet. Lutro never used one and was unsure about whether he wanted or not to use one for the first time… - How does that work? – he asks. - Like this – said Kuniklo, doing a quick demonstration, without actually peeing. - But that’s kinda girly… - said Lutro, seeing his friend squat on the toilet, like a girl. - Is it? – asked Kuniklo. – But we are in the safety of my home. That’s not bad to be a little girly here. Lutro thought about it. Indeed, there’s no problem in being girly if there’s nobody to laugh at you for it… - Right – said Lutro. – But I still don’t think I can go potty yet… I will, though, eventually. Kuniklo hugged Lutro and Lutro hugged back, sneaking another pat on Kuniklo’s diaper butt. They went back to Kuniklo’s room. Kuniklo’s dad was preparing dinner. Finally, the night fell. Lutro’s bladder was very heavy and, when Kuniklo’s dad called the cubs to eat dinner and Lutro had to stand up, it felt even heavier. He was a little bent forward. Kuniklo was worried. - Lutro, go pee – says Kuniklo. - But I can’t bring myself to use a toilet other than my own! – complained Lutro. - Well… - Kuniklo makes a pause. – What if I put you in a diaper? Lutro remembered that he had brought three diapers in his backpack. But he was shy about wearing them in front of his friend. - I don’t know – he says. – I would rather not. Kuniklo didn’t know that Lutro had difficulties in staying dry at night. Lutro’s diapers were a secret to everybody, except his dad. Lutro collected himself, stood mostly straight and walked towards the dining room, with a paw squeezing his penis through his clothing. Lutro was well-aware that he was setting himself up to failure: his briefs were damp with escaping droplets and he would have to sleep after dinner. To make matters worse, while Kuniklo would be on his bed, Lutro would sleep in a hammock. He would sleep só fast and só deeply, that he would not be able to wake up in time to stop an accident… Once they finished dinner, Lutro felt another problem arise: his bowels were moving, as they always do around that time of the day. He felt himself about to cry. - Now – says Kuniklo’s dad. –, change your clothes and go to bed. - Right, dad! – says Kuniklo. Lutro barely heard. His thighs were tightly squeezed together and he could not let go of his penis now. When he got up, he let out more droplets and tightened the squeeze further to keep himself from letting more go. Kuniklo’s dad noticed. - Is something a matter, Lutro? – he asks. Lutro let go of his penis and faced dad. - I’m fine, don’t worry – he says, unconvincingly. Kuniklo’s dad blinked twice and shrugged. - If you say só… - says the big and burly rabbit. Both cubs went to Kuniklo’s room, where was Kuniklo’s bed and the hammock in which Lutro would sleep. - You sure you don’t want to go potty, buddy? – asks Kuniklo, worried. - I want to, but I can’t! – says Lutro. - Wanna try anyway? Lutro whimpered. - Fine… - he says. – I’ll try… And só Lutro went to the bathroom, removes his shorts and undies, then squatted over the toilet. And he was unable to go. No matter how much he pushed, he felt all keyed-up and unable to go. He opened the bathroom’s door, without wearing anything, and let Kuniklo in. - No dice – said Lutro, rubbing his taut underbelly while sporting a nervous stiffy. - That’s bad… - said Kuniklo. – Should I call dad? - No, that would make things worse… - What then? Lutro thought a bit. At this point, he just wanted to pee. He would not mind… much… if he wet the hammock, provided he just felt some sort of relief. - We can go sleep – said Lutro. – Tomorrow, I’ll wake up earlier than usual and go potty when nobody is awake. That might help. - Can you hold it in overnight? – asked Kuniklo. - Yes – lied Lutro. Kuniklo went to bed. Lutro, now wearing just his briefs, nested himself in the hammock. The night could not be different: Lutro relieved himself while asleep, peeing for what seemed to be two minutes a half, waking Kuniklo up. On one hand, Kuniklo was relieved to know that his friend was finally feeling some sort of relief. But, on the other hand, there were rules to be followed in Kuniklo’s house: accidents mean diapers. He walked towards Lutro, gently, and shook the otter a bit. - Lutro – said Kuniklo. – You wet yourself. - Mm? – moaned Lutro, waking up. – What is going on? Lutro then realized where he was. As he became more awake, he remembered that he went to sleep on a full bladder and now it felt empty. Kuniklo turned the lights on and Lutro surveyed the damage. The puddle under the hammock was five feet wide. The hammock was drenched. - I’m sorry… - said Lutro. Kuniklo shook his head negatively. - I forgive you – says Kuniklo. -, but you must follow our rules, as our guest. If you have an accident, then you have to wear diapers. - Is that a rule here? – asks Lutro. - That’s why I am in diapers most of the time, even though I can use the potty most of the times – Kuniklo explained. – I always have, at least, one accident every day. Plus, they feel comfy… Lutro was feeling all bashful. - Fine… - says Lutro. Kuniklo went into his drawer to check for new diapers and… there was none. - There must be some more in my dad’s room – says Kuniklo. – I’m gonna ask for more. - Wait, no! – says Lutro. – It would be more embarrassing, if your dad knew about what happened… - But you need a diaper. Lutro groaned and confessed: - There are three diapers in my backpack. - Eh? Why? – asks Kuniklo. Lutro didn’t answer. Kuniklo figured out that those night time accidents were probably a recurring thing for Lutro and inquired no further. - Here – said Kuniklo, handing a towel to Lutro. – Dry yourself from the pee and lie on my bed. Lutro did só. While lying down on Kuniklo’s bed, Lutro felt his bowels move again and a bit of a belly ache. He rubbed his tummy. His poop was overdue and he knew he would be unable to hold it in until the end of the weekend. He pondered about going back home at sunrise. Kuniklo prepared the changing supplies and proceeded to remove Lutro’s shorts. Kuniklo ignored Lutro’s softening penis and proceeded to wipe Lutro’s crotch and even tush. Once clean, Lutro’s private parts were covered in baby powder, then lotion. A new diaper was then taped up. - Your diapers are kinda lame compared to mine – said Kuniklo. – They are plain white. - I just don’t want to feel só babyish – replied Lutro. – Also, thank you. I can’t easily change my own diapers. Kuniklo smiled. - I guess we get to sleep together on my bed now! – says the rabbit, smiling. - True! – said Lutro, smiling as well. They lied down together and their diapers brushed on one another on occasion. They then fell asleep. And things just got worse. At sunrise, Lutro woke up first. He sat up and felt a squish in his seat. He didn’t mind it at first, because he sometimes pooped in his sleep. But then, after a few seconds, he recalled that he was not at his house. He hopped off the bed and whimpered, trying to look at his butt. He rubbed his diaper butt and felt that it was só full of mess, that he could well have leaked on the bed. He surveyed the bed and, thankfully, his diaper managed to contain everything, despite him sitting on the bed. Lutro looked around for the supplies that were used in the previous night, but he could not find them. Kuniklo had put them away. He could not leave the bedroom either, lest Kuniklo’s dad saw him such a shameful state. But just as he thought that, the door opened. It was Kuniklo’s dad, wearing just shorts. - Time to wake up, you two – says the large rabbit. Lutro looked at Kuniklo’s dad, startled and frozen motionless. His back was facing the door, só Kuniklo’s dad could see Lutro’s full diaper butt. - Oh, Lutro – says Kuniklo’s dad. – Did you have an accident? Lutro could not even answer that, but the facial expression on the large, burly rabbit, somehow kept Lutro from crying. Kuniklo’s dad didn’t seem to mind that much. Then, Kuniklo woke up, with a squish. - Hi, dad – says Kuniklo. - Hey, Kuniklo – says Kuniklo’s dad. – You and your fella should shower. - Oh, sure… Kuniklo rubbed the sleep off his eyes and walked towards the door, but then picked the smell of poop. - Was that you, Lutro? – asked Kuniklo. Kuniklo’s dad left the bedroom and Lutro began to cry. Kuniklo hugged Lutro, petting his back. - Calm down, buddy – says Kuniklo. – I’m messy too. Lutro did feel better… but still felt pretty bad. Sure, someone eles was messy, but he was not was to be messy too. They went together to the bathroom and removed their diapers, balling them up and throwing them in the trash. - So – says Kuniklo, in hopes of lighting up the mood. – What do you wanna do today? Lutro, still a bit shaken, suddenly forgot everything that happened and yipped out: - Soccer! - Nice! – says Kuniklo. – I have a small field behind the house. We can play there. - I won’t lose to you. They showered together, discussing what to do on their weekend together. They washed each other, including their tushies, before leaving the bedroom and going to put their new diapers.
