Dark Terrors and Desperation in Diapers (private)

[Rye]

"Oh very late Hayley , I expect you both to be in bed by then. I might have a nip or two to drink so might not drive back or stay over there. But expect me back by day break." she replied "not to worry , everything will be fine. We'll get things sorted after dinner so nothing goes wrong. Don't you worry about a thing" she assured them "I'll be sure to leave plenty of snack and such in the fridge"

Luke ate silently , his sister in charge was a worrying thought and her thoughts were probably similar to his , what was happening tonight. He was sure they both were going to end up in diapers , but then again , maybe not. "Well , that's that then" he said , his mouth full , at this rate she might as well tie a bib on him and move him to a crib , hard to argue he was still a big boy sometimes.

"R... right," Hayley answered softly, her hand shaking and not daring to ask any more right now. But that didn't sound good. An uncertain return time, and very late. That meant they were facing all the issues that tonight promised to bring up alone. She finished up her sandwiches as quickly as possible, and despite the appeal of the cakes, looked around for an opportunity to beckon Luke to excuse himself with her out of the room. Catching his eye she signaled to him discreetly, looking towards the door. It would be best if they could both excuse themselves together.

She wasn't quite sure what she was going to say to him, but they needed to discuss this evening. What were they going to do, and how was it going to affect them? At least they had the time between now and dinner to do something, though what, she had no idea.

Luke caught it and nodded , he didn't know what she wanted but after the huge breakfast he couldn't eat that much. "I think I'm full , thank for lunch though" the blond said as he got up , exaggerating how full he was by stumbling and moving slowly , at least this way he wouldn't get roped into eating more. "We'll be back for dinner and then bed" he called as he headed out with Hayley , wondering what was on her mind that she had to tell him without grandma knowing.

"What are we going to do about tonight?!" Hayley hissed as soon as they were out of earshot, and a little surprised by her brother's lack of immediate reaction and casual demeanor. Seeing his uncomprehending gaze she exasperatedly moved to elaborate. "I mean; one: on our own in the house with THINGS outside. And two: with all this diaper business..."

That part she didn't elaborate on, hoping he would read between the lines. If they were diapered as of tea-time, what happened if somebody needed to go at any point during the evening? Who was going to help them back out of the diaper and back in again? But if they weren't, what happened about the bathroom after dark? And if, then, the only thing to do was indeed to pee into their diapers, who changed them before morning? She could just about imagine doing it, in a real crisis, but she couldn't bear to have to sit in it, much less sleep in it. Hayley was pretty sure she could manage to change Luke, if it came to it... but could she change herself? She doubted he was about to help out in that respect. Not that the thought of the old lady doing it was anything except mortifying, but at least it was clear by now that she knew how, and was efficient about it.

She glanced back towards the cakes before delivering her final repartee.

"And what are we going to do until then, do you suppose? There's gotta be something we can do to make all this easier, somehow..."

Sabotage their grandmother's trip somehow? Much as it would be nice to have the old lady out of the way, perhaps not overnight... not with all this going on...

Luke looked over at the field , the posts looked sturdy , he took his logical side "it's just them blowing in the wind. Grandma's right , we were just tired and stressed and a little spooked about the new place. We're just jumping at shadows. I mean have you actually SEEN them get up or anything. They just look weird , better in a haunted house than out here but I guess the same thing works on crows." he said folding his arms , not believing a word he said. But it just was so easy and reassuring to side with his lies and pretend that he was going a little mad. He was planning on protesting the diapers come nightfall , but it seemed like he wasn't going to get much choice in the matter. Then again maybe it was just going to be him that was padded up. Although he disliked the idea, it reminded him of babysitters who would have him in diapers hours before bedtime and wouldn't be let out of them before then. It just led to him blushing and having to ask for another change before bed. If Grandma was gone then that wouldn't happening.

"Easier , how? She's going out and going to leave us diapered and ready for bed, maybe she'll show us how to change each other but other than that I don't think there's much we can do except take it in our stride."

[R682]

"It didn't feel like shadows..." Hayley protested sulkily, but once again she was forced to accept that it must have been. After all, what was the alternative, really? They were both too old to believe in monsters, her most of all. She couldn't let Luke be the logical one, and her still crying about spooks. "But, alright, I guess we ought to assume we're safe in here." She still wasn't about to go outside after dark, though. And that brought her back to point number two.

"I'm sure I can change your diaper, anyway, if you need it," she promised in response to Luke's following comment. "But..." she toed the ground shyly, blushing, "would you be able to change mine?" After all, even disputing Luke's exaggerations on the subject, she knew the status of her bladder well enough to know there was no way she was going to get through the whole of the dark without doing it. Probably before bed, if not before; unless she wanted to spend the night too uncomfortable to sleep, and have an accident in the end anyway. Though one thing she realised, she was far less bothered if Luke was the one to take care of it, than her grandmother. It was more the assumption that he'd be too bashful to tackle such a thing, than her own modesty. She didn't feel she had anything to hide or cover-up with him, in that respect.

Luke rolled his eye "well whatever. Well yea ,they're just bags of straw , dead grass. They can't move" he said smirking a little , although there were things he had seen yesterday and last night that he couldn't explain and was in no hurry to bring them up since they brought his heart into an irregular rhythm and terror. "Yea , but I would have to change you afterwords....besides.....I don't really want you....seeing that much of me" he said blushing and toying with his feet a little , shying away from her and the conversation. "I-I guess. I've only really worn pull ups" he said "even in storms mom puts me in the special pull ups" he said , meaning the ones he had that were made for teens with 'special' needs.

The blond blushed and smiled a little "they are absorbent. We could just wear them all night. I didn't leak a single drop last night. Bed was warm and dry as a bone." he said , not wanting to be too open about this with her. He did have a bad feeling about this though , something ominous and no adult with them to protect him. Just his leaky sister and she was of a more nervous disposition that he was, fears of storms and the dark excluded.

[R682]

Hayley put her hands on her hips, despite the awkward subject matter.

"Don't be silly," she returned to a familiar theme. "You're my little brother. I've seen more than enough of you by now, and what makes you think that I'm interested if I do? It's not like -that-, is it, when it's family?! Anyway, I saw all that there was to see last night, when you were getting changed by grandma, if you remember, so I don't know what you're worried about now. And as for me..." she paused for an awkward swallow despite the inertia of her exasperated tone. "As for me... you've just about got me persuaded that it's alright to wear one of those things, but if I..." she swallowed again, and coughed awkwardly, "...if I have to -urinate- in it... well, I'm not sitting in it all night, after that!"

She came to an abrupt stop, Luke's words about his 'special pull ups' catching up to her. She had seen them after all, and he was right. Those would be a lot easier. Just put them on and take them off, just like regular underwear. In fact, if she had some of those, she wouldn't even need to wear them all night. If she really had to go she could just slip a pair on, literally just for a minute, until she'd done it. Then take them off again by herself; nobody else would even have to know. Not like the big bulky things that their grandmother seemed to favour.

At least it gave her something to focus on, though, that wasn't the things outside. At least all the time she was fretting about diapers, she wasn't thinking about that. And yet, in the context of that, diapers no longer seemed like all that big a deal. Certainly not compared to the thought of nighttime trips outside.

"Still , it's weird" he replied "I mean....it just is, I don;t want you looking." he said , his cheeks flushed and glowing like coals. "I-I-I ummm...." he stammered , he couldn't deny it , his embarrassment sure liked to pick and choose when it came out, he just didn't like having his naked body on show a lot of the time. "Well , if you need them. No one's going to find out anyway , I mean you've never told anyone about my night time issues so I think the same thing applies to you , and we can be sure grandma won't tell anyone we know , all the way out here in the middle of nowhere" he said with a smile , trying to reassure her. "okay , well I suppose I can try and change you. I mean I don't know if I'll do it right but I'll try" he replied , he never really though about how to get them on, his own mother and father always did it for him when he was changed.

"Anyway , you promised you'd play with me in the corn field" he said , taking her arms and dragging her outside onto the road and into the sun , blinding him a little as he looked towards it and the heat haze that was drifting over them.

[R682]

Hayley was just as relieved to change the subject, by that point, and perfectly happy to be dragged outside into a distraction. She looked silently out towards the cornfield, wondering what was drawing Luke there so intently, but perfectly happy to follow along. Shoeless, she followed along in the warm dust, the ground dry and gritty, but something in the air beginning to suggest a change to come. This much heat and tension couldn't be sustained indefinitely without a break. She swallowed as the dry air hit her throat, wishing she'd had more to drink at lunch, even if that wasn't the greatest idea for her, longer term. Still, she was glad to be out here and doing something nevertheless, and grateful to follow along, even if that did make her more of a little sister than a big one.
