Chapter 14

“Boys, no exercises this morning at all.” Steven told the boys as soon as they all stumbled into the kitchen. He had already been awake for more than an hour by the time they all stumbled in, soggy diapers knocking between their knees, and all of them looking as if they had passed under a few buses.

“I certainly had no plans to do so today, not 'til tonight for hockey that is.” Daniel yawned.

“That's good to hear. All four of you are nearing exhaustion, and if you continue to push yourselves as hard as you have been, you'll do serious damage to your bodies. I don't want to have to take you out of dance or hockey for a week in order to get you to rest, so you have to do it on your own. If however you don't, I will, even with playoffs coming up and your team almost assuredly making it there.” Steven warned.

“I know, we're getting very tired, and I should have backed the others off more than I did, because I knew I was getting close again. I'm still more used to it than they are, and I should have realized that if I was getting tired that they must be even worse, sorry.” Kai said.

“You have no need to be sorry Kai, if they were tired enough, they would've said something, so it's all your fault for not paying attention to your bodies more and taking the rest you so desperately need. This week, or longer if I deem it necessary though, no extra workouts, the only working I want is when you're in practice or class and your school work as well. This is non negotiable. After this week, if I think you're better, I'll let you ease back into it, but I don't want you boys to continue working out quite so much. You're all doing far more than you're more than likely supposed to, and I'm willing to bet any doctor out there would agree with me and tell you no more pushing so hard. It's great that you push yourselves to be better, but there comes a point where it starts to become obsessive, and you boys are damn near reaching that point. I mean honestly, two and a half hours yesterday morning, four hours at dance class, and then an hour and a half at hockey, that's half the day spent working out hard, you can't keep up that sort of schedule.”

“But I like it.” Kai tried.

“Kai, I said it was non negotiable. I know you like working out, but even you have to admit there's no need to work out as much as you boys have been lately, and don't even try and tell me otherwise, or I'll find the leading nutritionist in the country and have him see you boys.” Steven warned firmly.

“Fine.” Kai sighed. “But after this week we can go back to working out though right?”

“Yes, but at a lighter schedule than it has been. I don't want you boys working to the point where your tights are see through any more from sweat, and or you're dragging tail. With everything that's going on right now, it's just too much. If it wasn't for the games, you'd be fine, and when you stop having games again, then you can increase once again, but that's it, that's all and it's final.” Steven said firmly once again.

“Okay, I guess we can all agree to that.” Kai seceded.

“I think I can agree as well, I'm beat.” Kenny said.

“You look worse than that to tell you the truth. You boys keep going, and a third grader is gonna be able to take you on with a better than even chance of kicking your asses.” Steven laughed.

“He'd only do it once.” Daniel growled, and then giggled.

“Who says it would've been a he, I was talking about the girls. For a boy, you'd at most have to take on a second grader.” Steven laughed.

“Oh god, that's just so wrong.” Kenny giggled.

“Yeah, but sadly true.” Daniel giggled, because he was feeling almost that bad already.

“You see, even you admit a second grader could probably whip you soon, how do you expect to be able to keep up in both hockey and dance if you continue pushing yourselves so hard?” Steven asked pointedly.

“I guess I couldn't. I'll agree on one condition though!” Daniel said.

“Oh, and what would that be?”

“That you kiss and cuddle me extra on the days I don't get enough exercise.” Daniel smiled warmly.

“Now that's a deal I can live with.” Steven smiled.

“I might just have to ask for the same deal from Kenny.” Kai giggled.

“And I too can live with that.” Kenny smiled.

“Man I wish Nick was here.” Owen sighed.

“You can cuddle him this coming weekend, as far as I know we don't have a game coming up, at least not yet, and we only have ballet to go to, so it should be free and clear.” Kai suggested.

“That's a good idea, but I sorta miss cuddling him during the week.” Owen smiled sadly.

“I know how you feel, really I do. It'd been months before I got to cuddle up with anyone as I slept, and I had an entire year to get used to it, because there wasn't a night that went by where I wasn't curled up to someone.” Kai smiled warmly to Owen, feeling his pain.

“And I doubt I'd even sleep now if Kai wasn't next to me, so I hope I don't have to worry about that.” Kenny smiled.

“That doesn't really make me feel better, but thanks guys.” Owen smiled.

“Yeah, but who says we were trying to help you?” Kenny grinned.

“Wow, nice friends you are.”

“Hey, we're not friends any more, we're brothers.”

“Eww yuck, you're having an affair with your brother!” Owen teased.

“Incest is best they say, keep it in the family.” Kai giggled.

“Right, well what should we do now boys?” Steven laughed.

“Since we're not allowed to exercise, and we just woke up, we're pretty hungry, so I say breakfast, and then I wouldn't mind a nice relaxing dip in the pool, soak in the hot tub, and a real good sweating in the sauna and steam room, and then back in the pool to cool down and relax more.” Kai suggested.

“That sounds like a really good idea, and I dare say you boys could really use it too. I'm surprised your mom isn't up yet Kai, it's getting pretty late, even for her.”

“Weekends she sometimes stays up real late and plays and then sleeps in.”

“Plays?” Owen asked edgily.

“Yeah, plays. I know you have a dildo, well you should see her collection of toys. I think the amount of power some of them uses requires plugging in, I'm surprised she hasn't chipped a tooth yet.” Kai said so perfectly straight faced that the others were just not certain he was joking, but he would not budge, he was too good.

“I wish I knew if you were joking or not, but in a way, it wouldn't really surprise me.” Kenny laughed.

“Well, I'm only partially joking. Even my mom blushed the day I came out of her bedroom at six years old with an armload of her personal toys, asking her what they were and why they were in her bedside drawer. She did explain it to me though, and I almost asked her to buy me one a few times, because they looked fun.” Kai laughed.

“I'm sorta surprised you didn't.” Kenny laughed.

“Well, after last year, I almost have a few times, but like how do you ask your mom that, Hey mom, could you buy me a dildo please?” Kai giggled.

“I would have said yes.” Denise grumbled as she came into the kitchen where everyone was.

“Oh, mornin' mom, and even though I knew you'd say yes, and even buy me one, it's not exactly something a boy usually asks his mom for. Granted, after having been quite used to certain things after last year, I was getting close to caving and asking you to anyway.” Kai laughed.

“I'll just bet.”

“Why didn't you just buy yours online like I did, no one would've had to know a thing?” Owen asked curiously.

“If there's one thing I don't get, it's online shopping. I actually point blank refuse to do it, you put absolutely no money into your local economy, and for what, saving a few cents here and there. No thanks. Granted, I guess I can see it from your point of view, easy way to get an embarrassing item with no one being any the wiser.”

“Yeah, I can agree with that for the most part, but there's just some things that really are better to buy online. That's just one of them. Diapers is another, I may love them, but I just don't know if I can go and buy them.”

“Why the heck not?” Kai asked incredulously.

“Kai, when was the last time you came in with me to buy your diapers?” Denise asked casually.

“Oh right, well I meant when he was older and didn't have a loving mom to go in and buy them for him.” Kai actually blushed at having been caught.

“Right, I believe that. You're not embarrassed to wear diapers, and you really could care less if someone found out, but for some reason, even you can't seem to go and buy them. Not really sure why, but whatever. However, sooner rather than later you'll need to buck up and go and do it for yourself.”

“Yeah, I know. Not even sure why I can't, because I don't care if people find out.” Kai laughed, because it really did not make much sense, but now that he thought about it, he had been embarrassed, and just used the going to the electronics store as a cover.

“So Denise, I told all the boys that they have to lay off on the ultra intensive workouts for a bit, they're all getting far too worn out to be healthy. This week I imposed no extra training whatsoever, and then in a week I'll decide if they can continue on a lighter schedule, 'til at the very least hockey season and regular games are over. Do you have any extra information you'd care to add to that?”

“No, that sounds great, and I was going to talk to the boys today as well, because I've been noticing them getting more and more worn looking. I mean last night, it was just barely past seven when they went to bed, and I'm willing to bet they slept in well and truly as well.”

“That they did, it was almost seven when they dragged their soggy bums to the kitchen.” Steven smiled.

“So, nearly twelve hours sleep, and Kai, I know for a fact that you rarely sleep more than seven. Granted, your current age and the fact that you're well into puberty should mean that you're sleeping closer to nine or ten hours a night right now.”

“Why?” Owen asked curiously.

“Because of all the changes you boys' bodies are going through. Children require huge amounts of sleep at the best of times, because as I'm not doubt sure you're aware of, you do all your growing during your sleep. No sleep, no grow, simple. So, as you're going through all the pubertal hell changes, you need even more than you did as children when you were just growing, now your bodies are attempting to make a huge change to virtually every part of you, and as such, it requires even more sleep. That's why adults require far less sleep than children and teens do, because we've done all our growing up, it's just the growing out part that we have to worry about, hence eating well and exercising regularly is so important.” Denise answered simply.

“Really, why didn't they tell us this in class when we went over puberty and stuff like that?” Owen asked in awe.

“Not a clue, which school was it?”

“My old one.”

“Then they're clearly not teaching the kids all that they should be, because every kid should know that, so that they know why they seem to need so much sleep. Sadly, most parents don't even know that, so they force their kids to get less sleep than they really need. If however it'd been your new school that had failed to inform you of that, then I'd be having words with the principal, because the mount we pay to send you boys there, they better bloody well be teaching you everything they can possibly cram into those rotten little heads of yours.”

“Gee mom, try not to be so kind.” Kai giggled.

“That was me being kind, you should know that by now.” Denise said flatly.

“Don't I know it.” Kai grumbled.

“Careful brat, or I'll show you I can still spank a soggy diapered bottom and leave a red mark.” Denise growled, but then they both started giggling.

“Yeah right, when was the last time you spanked me? Oh wait, never.”

“Yeah, unfortunately you were always too good to need a good old fashioned beating. Damn. I'd hoped to raise you with the rod, good and proper.” Denise sighed deeply.

“Well, I for one am glad you didn't.” Kai giggled.

“No kidding. So, what's for breakfast anyway, I'm starving?” Denise asked.

“Haven't figured that part out yet actually.” Steven answered.

“Well, I know I could certainly use some eggs this morning, and some cheese too, I need some extra good protein.” Kai suggested.

“Sounds like an omelets kinda morning to me then, and I just so happen to make a killer omelet.” Steven said.

“And it sounds like we have our breakfast volunteer for this morning.” Denise laughed.

“I don't mind, I'll just get some help in chopping and or grating things.” Steven smiled.

“Okay.” Everyone said, and then they got up and did just that.

Half an hour later they were all sitting down and eating a really good breakfast of fully loaded turkey bacon and feta cheese omelets. They had salsa in them and all sorts of other really good things, and everyone loved them, even though neither Daniel or Owen had ever had anything of the sorts before, especially the strong and almost gross smelling feta cheese, but they were amazed at how good they tasted.

“Wow, now that was amazing.” Owen sighed after polishing off his last bite, which certainly put him to well past capacity, especially considering what and how much he had started eating since moving in.

“Thanks, I told you I made a killer omelet, and I'm happy to say it was about as low fat as you can possibly get without using all the low fat crap they sell in the markets that's actually worse for you in the long run.” Steven said proudly.

“Oh please don't tell us you have a conspiracy theory about that too?” Owen moaned.

“Huh, what?” Steven said, and then Kai was urged to tell Steven all about his theories.

“Actually Kai, I have a tendency to agree with that almost totally, at least certain aspects anyway. There's just too much about all this chemical crap they're feeding us that we don't know and or they're just not telling us, and personally I don't agree with it. I'm the same, if it has a chemical in it, then I don't buy it. I don't really even agree with vitamins and supplements all that much either, I'd rather get them the way nature intended.” Steven said, clearly impressed with what Kai had to say.

“Same here, if it didn't come from nature, it doesn't belong in our bodies.” Kai nodded.

“Too true.” Denise said, and Steven nodded.

“Well, I think we're gonna go have a nice cool dip and then some good relaxing in the hot tub, care to join us guys?” Kai asked.

“I will.” Steven said.

“No thanks, I actually have to go out for a bit here anyway, so I'll go get ready and see you guys later.” Denise answered.

“Oh, where do you have to go this morning mom?” Kai asked curiously.

“I just have to go to the hospital and check on a patient, and then I have to go and do some shopping. I moved into my new office a week ago already, and it's larger than my old one was, so I need some new things to fill it up with.”

“Oh, okay. Slicer, pill popper, hanger, or something else?”

“Actually, this time it wasn't some poor kid trying to off themselves. This one was that boy I told you about about two weeks ago that was disfigured in the accident that killed his parents. He's seeing me for all the stress from all that. He went into surgery yesterday to try and help fix most of the damage caused by the fire, and I told him I'd be there for him when he woke up, and that should be this morning some time.”

“Oh right, that poor boy. No eight year old should have to deal with all that, the poor kid was just heart broken you said when you had to tell him his parents were dead as well as he was so horribly mangled. What were the odds that they were going to be able to get his face looking normal again?”

“Yeah, it was certainly hard on him, and it was hard for me to tell him, he'd just waken up from a three month long coma and was asking for mommy and daddy. The doctors say that there's no chance of bringing him back up the exact same way he looked, but they figure that he'll at least look normal, but his facial features will change somewhat. They're hoping though for somewhere around ninety five percent revival of all his features, and at worst, they expect the really bad scar on his cheek will still show somewhat.”

“How's he doing with his grandparents?”

“He's starting to settle in and get used to it, and they've admitted that he's still waking up at least once a night screaming. They said they've had to start diapering him for bed, because after the first week, he'd pee the bed so bad it was running down and onto the floor. I told them that that was a good time to really show him some much needed love and tenderness, get him ready for bed, diaper him up nice and thick, put on lots of cream, and tuck him in, kiss him goodnight, wish him good dreams, that sort of thing. I asked him how he was liking that, and he blushed and said he did sorta like it, and it was way better than waking up wet all the time.”

“That's good. Sounds like another diaper lover might soon be born.” Kai smiled.

“Very possible yes. I warned his grandparents that it might happen, and that at no time were they to make a big deal about it, because as things got better, he would still need the diapers as a sort of crutch, and with time, it may fade, but that in some cases it never does.”

“I'm glad you warned them, especially after the last time you had a kid who got attached to diapers and his parents tried to force them away from him.”

“Yeah, well I learn my lessons well and fast, I won't make the same mistake twice. Took me a further three months to help that boy again, and as far as I know, he's still wearing diapers, but it's been a few months since I last had to see him.”

“That's good. Well, you should get going then, and we're gonna head out to the pool and relax some.”

“Okay, see you guys in a bit then.” Denise smiled warmly and they all went their separate ways.

Steven and the boys all headed out to the pool house and stripped fully and showered quickly, then went and jumped in the pool. There was just something about swimming about lazily that really did help a body to relax. Most of the time though they were just floating on their backs, watching the sky above through the clear glass of the pool house, talking to each other. At one time they were all laying there in the water, their heads touching, and they were talking, it was actually quite nice. From the pool they all hit the sauna, and they stayed in there for about ten minutes, and then a further ten minutes in the steam room, and then they went and sat back in the hot tub for nearly half an hour. From there they all went and dove back into the pool and once again swam around lazily for a bit before laying on their backs in the water, their heads once again touching, and they talked even more. By the time they got out, they were all quite relaxed, so that was good. They went and showered and then dried off before heading in to all get nice and thickly diapered. They were almost surprised that when they came out of their bedrooms, that Denise was just walking in.

“Oh, that didn't take you long.” Kai said.

“Actually, I've been gone for almost three hours.” Denise laughed.

“Really, we spent three hours in the pool just relaxing. It didn't feel like that long!” Kai laughed.

“If you went when I did and only just got out, then yes you did.”

“Well, I certainly feel better. So, how was the little boy mom?”

“You all look more relaxed too, so that's good. As for the little guy, he's pretty good. I talked to the doctor as he was doing his rounds, and he says he thinks the little guy will be just fine. There was some nerve damage in his left cheek that they were unable to fully repair, so that'll mean he has some minor facial paralysis, but he's hoping it's very minor, since they were able to repair most of it. His smile could just be slightly lopsided, but that'd be fine, as long as it's not too bad, but he doesn't believe it will be. He also said that they were able to fix at minimum ninety seven percent, so he should look as close to normal as could be expected after all the damage that he had.”

“Oh, that's good to hear. How was he when he woke up, and were his grandparents there with him?”

“Yes, they were there with me, and of course they once again thanked me for everything that I'd done for him and them, and they did say that he'd seemed to be wanting his diapers a bit more lately. I only saw him early in the week, so he may have just been getting really nervous about the operations. I mean I held nothing back, I told him it was going to be a good twelve hours of surgery, and that while they knew they wouldn't be able to repair everything, they were hopeful to get most of the damage repaired. I also told him that while there's risks during any surgery, that what he was having done was almost guaranteed to allow him to once again wake up. That's what he was scared of most of all, that he'd never wake up again, because he'd heard that some people don't. His grandparents had said that as the day came nearer, he got more and more nervous, and had almost thought of calling me, but they were able to manage on their own. As for how was he when he woke up, he said he felt weird and still groggy, but we told him that was normal. He was of course all bandaged up, so we couldn't yet see if it was a success yet, we won't be able to tell for a couple more days yet, and of course there'll be lots of swelling still anyway, so it's hard to say what he'd look like 'til it comes down some. I asked the doctors when we could see his face, and they said Wednesday, and 'til then they'd kick everyone out for bandage changes, so that we didn't see the results before his face was ready to be seen. I had to explain that to the boy, because he didn't understand much of it, but he understands now, and told his grandparents that he didn't want them to see him 'til he was all better, and they smiled. I think he's gonna be just fine, once he sees his new face, even if it's not the exact same as it was before, he'll be just fine. The shock of having lost his parents has started to wear off finally and he's accepting that, so once this last hurdle is passed, I think he and his grandparents can take care of the rest.”

“That's really good to hear. I'd like to meet him though.” Kai smiled.

“We'll see.” Denise smiled.

“So, what should we do for the rest of the day?” Kai asked.

“Well, until your hockey game tonight, nothing much at all. I could go rent a couple movies for you boys if you want, or you can play games.” Steven offered.

“Not sure I want to do either, how about we just go look around the mall?” Kai asked the others.

“Sounds good to me.” Kenny said.

“Me too.” The other two said.

“Want me to drive you boys, or do you want to walk?” Steven asked.

“If you're not going, than neither am I, so I say we drive and you can come with us.” Daniel said.

“Okay, I can go for that, but at times you do need to spend time away from me with others your age too.”

“I spend plenty of time with others my age, and not enough time with you, so I think I'm fine.” Daniel pointed out.

“Fair enough.” Steven smiled.

“How about you mom, would you like to come to the mall as well?”

“No thanks, I just came back from there, I bought a few new things to decorate the office and waiting room, so that's what I think I'm gonna go do, I just have to unload it all from the car.”

“Oh, okay. Well, we're gonna go get dressed then and head out. Have fun.” Kai smiled, and Denise nodded, so they all took off to go get dressed.

As soon as they were dressed, they headed out to the garage and hopped in Steven's car and took off. They drove to the large mall a short distance away and went inside.

“So, where to first boys?” Steven asked.

“Who cares, let's just walk around and look anywhere we like.” Daniel smiled, itching to grab Steven's hand and hold it.

“Okay.” Steven said and they started walking.

For the next two hours, they walked around and looked at everything. They joked and laughed and talked the entire time. They saw lots of neat things, they saw a few people from school and said hi, and they even went and played in the arcade for a bit.

“Who was that Daniel?” Kai asked after Daniel talked to a smaller boy for a few seconds.

“That was the boy I told you about that would have rather seen me dead than to ever talk to again.” Daniel said softly.

“Oh, he seemed nice enough, and he seemed quite friendly to you.”

“Yeah, I wouldn't go so far as to say we're friends, but I've helped him to dodge a few other bullies now, and he's even sat with me at lunch time and we've talked lots more. He actually seems genuinely interested in how I'm doing and seems happy that I'm getting better.”

“That's good. He'd certainly make a good boyfriend if you didn't already have one.” Kai smiled.

“No, he's not gay.” Daniel said.

“No, he's definitely gay. Trust me there, that boy's as gay as they come.” Kai smiled.

“I wouldn't say you're wrong, but I sure don't see it.”

“Yeah, but it's still so new to you that you probably don't see all the signs yet. The others here though probably agree with me.”

“Yep.” The others all said.

“Oh, I didn't know that.”

“That's okay. Does he know about you yet, and does he know you have a boyfriend already?”

“No and no, I don't exactly talk about that sort of thing at school. I certainly don't act gay either, so I doubt he'd know just by guessing either.”

“And how exactly does one act gay?” Kai asked pointedly.

“I don't know. There's just some guys you can tell are gay right away. Even you, I could tell you were gay the second I met you. Sorry, but I don't act like that.” Daniel said softly, hoping to not insult his friend.

“It's not acting, it's posture and lots of other things. Most people know right away that I'm gay, but anyone who's really good at reading people could tell that you're gay too, or at the very least bi. Now that you're happy, it really shows, but before when you were miserable, no one could tell. If your friend there knows exactly what to look for, he could already detect it, or at least suspect it.” Kai pointed out.

“Oh, I never realized that. I hope I don't start getting teased for that at school.”

“If you do, then stand tall and proud and say that you're happy with who and what you are, and then inform the principal of the teasing. I doubt most kids would, knowing your history of bullying though, so you should be fine.” Kai smiled warmly.

“Thanks. I Just don't know if I can take that sort of thing and not beat the crap outta someone.”

“No, never hit unless absolutely unavoidable, such as if they swing first. And just like in hockey, don't hit too hard, just get your point across, don't hit more than once, it's not needed, and then turn and walk away. Of course, turn and walk away first if at all possible.”

“Yeah, I know, you've told me all this before.”

“I know, just reiterating it for you.”

“So, what do I do if he outright asks me if I'm gay and or if I'd like to go out with him?”

“Somehow I doubt that he'd ask, especially as a boyfriend. From what you've told me, I don't think he could ever truly feel comfortable around you. If however he does find out you're gay, and if he asks, you should definitely tell him the truth, then you should tell him that you have someone already and that you don't want him falling in love with you only to get his heart trampled on. No, friends is all you could be.” Kai smiled.

“Oh. I doubt he'd ask me either, but you never know. If he's getting horny and wants someone to play with, he could ask if he thinks I'm gay.” Daniel laughed softly.

“You never know, it might be fun too, you never know, but I know you'd never do that, you have Steven and he's all you ever want. You could help him to find a good boyfriend though, that'd be real nice. Maybe you should ask your principal if your school has a gay lesbian group at it and then invite him there with you. Saying that you already have someone and that you want to help him find someone as well. If he doesn't ask you though, maybe it might not be such a bad idea to bring it up to him.”

“Oh, I couldn't do that.” Daniel gasped.

“Why not. It's not all that hard to do. Just sit him down and and say look, I think we both know each other is gay, but I don't want you thinking I could be good boyfriend material, because I already have someone, but I want to take you somewhere. And then you tell him all about the group at school, assuming of course there is one, and there probably is, and take him there, both of you together. It'll help a lot, I can almost guarantee it. That's a huge secret for you to tell him, and it'd probably help him relax a lot and be even nicer to you.” Kai suggested.

“I don't know. I'll look into it and think about it, but I don't know if I have the courage to do it, that's pretty hard to do after all.” Daniel said honestly.

“You have plenty of courage, no worries there, it's the nerve to do it that you lack, but when the time's right, you'll be fine.” Kai smiled.

“Thanks.”

Shortly after that they headed out and headed back toward home. The drive was of course short, but they talked and laughed the whole way home. Once home, they pretty much sat around doing nothing but watching TV until just before their hockey game. They had eaten a light dinner so that they had the energy that they needed, and then almost as soon as they were done, they headed out. Once at the rink where the game was being held, they went in and got ready, while the parents went up to the stands to watch.

Once again it was a really good game, and while there were a couple fights, and a few penalties, the boys' team could not claim any of them, although the one fight, it just so happened to be Kai that the poor unsuspecting player had targeted, only had two hits in it. The boy wailed one hard on Kai after trying to rip his jersey off, and Kai took it, stood up and grinned at the boy having hit his hardest, and then wound up and wailed him right to the stomach, and that was the last that boy hit the ice. Kai did not end up with a penalty, because he had not started it, and the opposing team did not take a penalty for it, because it sure seemed the player was out of the game, and the ref had to wonder if the poor kid might not want to go to the hospital, never before had he seen such a hit from a kid. He did warn Kai not to hit so hard in the future. The other fight was with Josh, and he and the other boy ended up scrapping on center ice for a few seconds before the ref made it over and pulled them apart. The other player had started it, but Josh had given every bit as good as he got.

This had been the first time this season that any of the boys had gotten into a fight, so that was good, seeing as how it had normally been them starting them all, but this team, like a few others, were getting desperate. Both fights ended up in the third period, and the score was five two for Kai's team, and there did not appear to be a hope in hell that the opposing team could win it, so they too started getting nasty in hopes of garnering at least another score.

It was not to be though, they could not hope to come back, and in fact, by the end of the third period, they managed to make another goal, to make it six two, and then the final whistle blew. The boys all hit their bench, and Kai got up and told the coach he had to go do something, and skated across the ice. It left Mitch wondering what he was doing.

“Are you okay?” Kai asked the boy he had hit.

“Are you the one who hit me?” He asked, still sounding as if he were going to be sick.

“Yeah, sorry about that, I didn't mean to hit you so hard. You just sorta pissed me off, and I sometimes don't know my own strength when I get mad.” Kai blushed.

“Wow, I was hit by a baseball straight into the stomach this past summer, I'm a pitcher and I took a line drive in the same place you hit me, and that never hurt near as much as you hitting me did. I'm really sorry I tried to pick a fight with you. Had I've known you'd nearly kill me in one punch, there's no way I'd do so again.” He said, trying to laugh, but failing miserably, and reeling in a bit of pain.

“Ouch, I bet that didn't feel nice, try not to laugh. I'm really sorry, I didn't want to or mean to hurt you, but you should probably go to the hospital to get that looked at.” Kai said warmly.

“Trust me, I have every intention to, I've never hurt so much in my life, and my parents already tried to take me, but I told them to wait 'til the end of the game.”

“Have you peed since I hit you?”

“No.”

“You maybe should check again!” Kai said, looking down, pointedly looking at the boys crotch, it sure looked wet.

“Oh crap.” He said.

“Do me a favor will you and reach into your underwear and check for blood?” Kai asked.

He did so, and when his hand came out, it was wet, and there was a hint of blood, but it was not that bad.

“That's what I thought. Go get changed and get your parents to get you to the hospital soon, I'm really sorry again, I hope you're gonna be okay.” Kai said, almost crying.

“It's okay, really. The same thing happened when I took the baseball to the stomach. It was all my fault, I shouldn't have hit you in the first place. I'll go to the hospital right away though.” He said warmly. Never before had he had anyone he had fought care for him before.

“Thanks, but it still doesn't give me the right to hit you so hard. Look, here's my number, call me tomorrow after school so that I know if you're alright, okay?”

“Okay, I'll do that.” He smiled weakly, taking the card that Kai handed him.

“Thanks. Now go, don't wait for the rest of your team, but get help if you need it.”

“Okay, have a good night.” He said, and then his whole team got up and helped him to the change room to get changed.

Kai went back to the bench and told the others what was said, pretty much verbatim.

“That was a very nice thing you did Kai. Each and every day you surprise me more and more.” Mitch said in shock.

“What, why, it was only the right thing to do? I hurt him real bad, all because I was too full of adrenaline and not thinking clearly. Had I have been thinking clearly, there's no way I'd have hit him so hard. I'd never hit anyone that hard, no matter what they did to me.” Kai said.

“Yeah, but all too often, kids your age have serious problems doing what really is right, even if it's going back after the fact and apologizing for a mistake.”

“Maybe, but I'm not like that. Even the boys I fought at my old school I always apologized to afterward, because I really hurt them, and they were bullies. The boy who had to go get his nose operated on in fact I apologized to no less than ten times before he told me to shut the fuck up or he'd beat me up more. He just kept laughing and saying he deserved it for what he had done to me, and he'd appreciate it if I'd just shut up about it.” Kai grinned.

“Wow. You broke a kids nose so bad he had to have surgery to repair it?”

“Yeah, I actually busted the bones around his nose, crushed the cartilage, and ruptured his nasal cavity. He told me that the doctor said it was lucky I hadn't hit him any harder or I'd have killed him. He really pissed me off though, I was so mad I wasn't seeing straight at all, I've never let myself get that mad again. I realized I could easily kill someone if I did, and I really don't want to do that. Even today, I was mad, but not that mad, and I did pull my punch, just not nearly as much as I thought I had. I guess the adrenaline of the game made me not see so clearly as well. There's still lots I need to learn I guess, like how to control my temper better and to not hit someone so hard.” Kai said, sounding more than just a little ashamed with himself.

“Well, at least you know what you need to learn and what you need to do. From now on though, I'd say don't hit anyone in the nose, and try and learn a less painful way of hitting someone, so that you don't send any more to the hospital.” Mitch had to laugh. Many of the others on the bench though were in shock. Sure they knew Kai was strong, and a damn good fighter if pushed hard enough, but never had they thought he could easily kill someone with one hit like that.

“Thanks Coach. May we go get changed now, I need to go home and cry a little?”

“Cry a little?” Mitch asked.

“Yeah, how could you not? You'd have to be totally heartless to hit someone so hard to cause damage and not at least feel bad for it. Right now I'm holding it in, because no one here needs to see me cry, but I'm an emotional person, and I cry when I'm sad or mad, I just try and hold it 'til I'm in privacy or with family or friends.”

“Oh, I guess I see what you mean. Far too many kids need to learn what you do, they'd be happier if they could. Go ahead, go get changed.” Mitch said lovingly. Once again, he was more than a little surprised by Kai.

Kai though only made it to the change room before breaking down, and crying onto Kenny's shoulder. The entire team took only a few seconds to gather around though and wrap him up in a huge team hug, and Daniel said it best for them all a few minutes later, having let Kai cry it out a bit.

“It's okay Kai, he'll be fine, you just showed him that you're no one to be trifled with, and I bet no one on their team ever tries to fight any of us again, because if our smallest player can one punch their biggest player and send him to the hospital, then what could I do to them. Of course it'd take me at least two punches to do the same, but they don't need to know that.” Daniel giggled.

“Thanks guys. I really wish I wasn't so strong though that I could hurt someone so much so easily.”

“Why though?” Daniel asked in awe. “I don't think you should wish that, because then you wouldn't be who you are. You're as strong as you are because of all the work that you do to make yourself a better person. You wouldn't be able to dance as well, or do gymnastics as well, probably even figure skate as well, and you certainly wouldn't be able to show bullies who's boss nearly as well. No, your strength is part of who you are, and if you asked to change that, it'd change all of you and everything you love to do, so you couldn't possibly want that to go away, or lessen any at any rate.”

“Thanks Daniel. For once it's you telling me what I needed to hear.”

“Yeah, well like you said before, just because you're smart, doesn't mean you know everything, and sometimes emotions cloud things more than they should and you need to be told things so that you understand. I know, you said it to me a lot better than I'm saying it to you, but it doesn't change the fact that you need to hear it.”

“Thanks Daniel.” Kai smiled warmly, and grabbed Daniel and hugged him as well, and once again, another group hug ensued.

“Okay, enough of this sappy stuff, if anyone were to walk in, they might think we're all gay or something.” Kai teased, causing the whole group to laugh, which is exactly what he had wanted. He was fine now, he had cried out his emotions, and that was all he needed to do. Sure he still felt sorry for the boy he hit, but he did not hurt now from it.

They all stripped down and hit the showers and got cleaned. They all soaked in the hot water for a while before soaping up and washing themselves thoroughly, but finally they were all done, so they went and dried off and got dressed. As soon as they were all packed and ready to go, the entire group headed out in search of their parents. All the boys telling their parents about what Kai had done and pretty much what was said. More than a few of the parents were surprised that Kai could hit so hard, even though they too were starting to see how amazing the boy really was. Kenny told Steven and Denise most of what had transpired, after they got home, because Kai did not feel like it.

“Well Kai, you know that you can't just blindly strike out at people like that, look at the boy whose nose you very nearly crushed to dust, I'd have hoped you'd have learned from the last time you hit someone so hard.” Denise said softly, obvious anger there in the background.

“I know mom, I don't want or need the anger or guilt trip, I've already laid enough of it on myself. Clearly I still need to learn more about how to control my anger when I'm mad, but now with the addition of adrenaline, which I hadn't accounted for. I also pulled my punch, so I didn't hit him as hard as I could have, because I didn't want to hurt him, but obviously I didn't pull it enough.” Kai said firmly, Denise actually blushed.

“Sorry baby, but it just scares me.”

“It scares me too mom, I never wanted to hurt anyone like that, but I really don't realize my own strength at times, and us hot headed teenagers are hard to control sometimes you know.” Kai smiled.

“Don't I know it.”

“Yeah right. Maybe this summer I should find a martial artist and work with him instead of doing gymnastics, so that I can learn to better control that, most good martial artists should be able to teach me control better than what I currently have.” Kai mused.

“If all you want to do is learn control, then you wouldn't need to give up gymnastics, just give up some of your morning exercises.” Steven suggested.

“That's not such a bad idea, I wouldn't really want to give up gymnastics, I like it too much. Maybe I can find someone who would come directly here in the mornings and teach us, instead of doing our morning workout every day.” Kai smiled.

“That would be good, and I bet someone would happily do that.” Denise smiled as well.

“Really, I could start searching now, so that as soon as the hockey finals are done, he could come and start teaching us.”

“Why not.” Daniel said and Kenny and Owen smiled and nodded as well, because they knew they would get to get in on the extra training as well that could only help them even more.

“Okay, I'll start my search tomorrow then.” Kai smiled.

“Good. So, have you ever measured the force of your punch before?” Daniel asked curiously.

“No, how would I do that?” Kai asked curiously.

“Well, at the arcade at the mall, they have a game thing that measures how hard you can punch. You've never tried it before?”

“No, never look at those types of things usually. I just go there to play the games.”

“Then the next time we're there, I want to see how hard you can really punch, and I want you to do it as hard as you can, no holding back.”

“Um, okay, I guess so.” Kai said nervously.

“We'll all do it as well, I just want to know. Also, can you flex your arm for me, I've wanted to feel your muscles for so long now.” Daniel asked.

“I'd rather not.”

“Do it.” Daniel said firmly.

Kai sighed and did as he was asked. Daniel was not the only one who felt the muscles in Kai's arm though, because Owen and Steven were both curious as well. Kenny had felt it before, so he had no need to, and of course Denise also already knew, so she just stood back and watched Steven and the boys admiring the muscles for a few seconds.

“Okay, that's enough.” Kai said, dropping his arm.

“Thanks Kai. You should certainly not be ashamed of that. My god, you have incredible muscles. Even when you flex you still don't look as strong as I do, my muscles look almost twice as big as yours, but yours are ten times harder than mine are, like they're stone or something.” Daniel said softly.

“I'm not ashamed.” Kai said defensively.

“No, not at all. Hence the reason you never show it off, you never let anyone know that you're strong or anything.” Daniel said all knowingly.

“Showing off and being ashamed are different Daniel.” Kai said softly. “I don't like to show off, you should know that by now. I also don't want too many people to know how strong I am, because then people start to talk, and then the idiots who like to fight would like to try me just to see if they can take me. I don't like fighting, I don't like hitting people, and I certainly don't like hurting people.”

“Actually Kai, they really do amount to the same thing. Everyone shows off at least a little, and those who don't, are usually ashamed for some reason. I may not be as smart as you are, but I know all about showing off.” Daniel pointed out.

“He's right Kai, and you know it.” Denise said before Kai could argue the point, because she knew Daniel was far more correct than Kai would admit.

“Fine, I hate being better than everyone, is that really what you want to hear. I just want to be normal, that's it, that's all.” Kai said crossly.

“What's normal exactly?” Daniel asked softly.

“Someone who's not so much better than everyone else.” Kai said sadly.

“Are you great at everything?”

“No, of course not.”

“Then you're no better than anyone else. Sure, you may be really smart, and you're pretty strong for a kid, but that's just part of being you. I think you should be happy with who you are and stop wishing you were someone you're not, because I don't know about the others, but I really like you just the way you are.” Daniel said warmly.

“Me too.” Everyone else said.

“Thanks.” Kai said with tears pouring down.

“See, told you were a lot smarter than you thought you were.” Steven smiled to Daniel proudly.

“No thanks to you and Kai and Kenny and Owen for helping me to realize it. Besides, most of what I just said to Kai is what he said to me too, just changed a little to fit the situation.” Daniel smiled.

“I really hate it when others use my advise against me.” Kai giggled through his tears.

“Yeah, but it's good for you, and you needed to hear it. Now, I'm willing to bet you're every bit as tired as I am, and probably every bit as much as Kenny and Owen are, so let's say we head to our bedrooms for the night and get a good nights sleep.” Daniel smiled.

“Yeah, I did, and yes I am. Goodnight everyone.” Kai smiled, and then he and the others all headed to bed.

Once in their rooms, they all stripped down to their diapers and crawled into bed. The boys however were not so tired as to not wish to release a little pressure first, so they all did so. Owen was of course the only one who did not have someone to help him out, but he enjoyed his two orgasms just as much as the other four enjoyed theirs.

Monday and Tuesday went by pretty well, and when the boys were not in school, dance or hockey, they rested as per Steven's very direct orders, and because Denise was now working at home, she had the chore of checking up on the boys to make sure they were behaving when she was there, but Steven took care of the mornings before he went to work. Wednesday morning though as they all gathered in the change room for hockey practice, the boys found out something.

“Guys, I have some bad news.” Ben said sadly once they were all there.

“What's up Ben?” Daniel asked.

“The house my mom rents is for sale. The guy who owns it's being deported back to India, so in order to get the money he needs to fight the deportation, he has to sell the house. My mom doesn't think she can afford to get another house in the area and is thinking of just moving somewhere cheaper, but that means John and I might have to quit hockey.” Ben said, tears threatening to fall.

“Oh no Ben, what will you do? Without Kenny's dad to help you guys pay for hockey, you won't be able to play, and I know how much you love playing?” Daniel asked softly, feeling bad for two of the boys he considered friends.

“I...I....I don't know. We found out last night when the guy came to the house, asking my mom if she could afford to buy it, wanting to sell it to her first. Of course she can't though, the bank won't give her squat.”

“Oh no. I don't know what we'll do, I don't know how we'll do it, but somehow we'll figure something out, okay.” Daniel said.

“I don't see what a bunch of kids can do.” Ben said stoically.

“How much is the guy selling the place for, or do you know?” Kai asked curiously.

“Three hundred and thirty thousand, but he offered it to my mom for two ninety if she could come up with it. It's way too much money, there's no way we can do anything. The likelihood that the new owner will allow us to stay, or stay with the same rent price is slim to none. We'll be forced to move, no matter what, so my mom's looking for other work in other areas that don't cost near as much to live.”

“Okay, I should be able to come up with the money in a day or so. Tell your mom not to panic yet, and ask her to call the owner and have him postpone the sales papers, and I'll buy it for the two ninety he offered it to your mom if we go totally private. Steven can act as my lawyer for the deal, and all he'll need is a lawyer for his side.”

“What, you could do that?” Ben asked in shock.

“Sure. I'll have to cash in a few stocks, it'll take a day or so for the money to clear, but I'll do it from school this morning as soon as I get there, so that hopefully the money will be in my account first thing tomorrow morning.” Kai smiled.

“But, that's a lot of money.”

“Not really. I know you said the house is pretty nice, if a bit on the older side, and getting into real estate is never a bad thing. How's the yard size?”

“Pretty good I'd say, one of the larger ones in the area, that's for sure.” Ben answered, not really believing what was happening.

“That's good. Do you know how much your mom pays a month in rent right now?”

“Couple thousand anyway, can't remember the exact number. I know it's high though.”

“Okay, tell her I'll lower the rent for her as well. I won't have a mortgage, and I'm not really interested in making huge money off it. She'll be responsible for paying the utilities though, if she isn't already, and still be responsible for the main upkeep of the property, but I'll take care of the taxes and the repairs to the house if any are needed.”

“Oh Kai, you're a lifesaver. I'll give my mom your number as well so that she can talk to you direct later if she needs to.” Ben said, tears flowing down as he hugged Kai tightly.

“You're welcome Ben. There's no way I'd let a friend move away and or suffer if there was anything I could do to prevent it.” Kai smiled warmly as soon as Ben let him go.

“Thanks. So, did you talk to the boy you hurt on Sunday?”

“Yeah, he called me like I asked him to on Monday afternoon, just as we got home from school in fact.”

“How was he?”

“I sorta damaged his bladder slightly, and he's been having troubles holding his pee, and I also really bruised him, he said he's all sorts of colors over his entire stomach. The doctor says he should get control back shortly, as soon as the internal bruising and swelling goes down. He's still peeing a little blood, or at least he was yesterday when I called him. He said it did sorta suck to have to be wearing diapers 'til the problem fixes itself, because like he said, when they tried to insert a catheter, everything was so sore in there he screamed like a girl. I of course told him that due to a faulty bladder I have to wear diapers all the time, so I knew how he felt there, but that he was lucky that was all it was. I hope he regains his bladder control soon, or not if he enjoys wearing diapers. He did say it was a bit embarrassing though, but he's not going to school or hockey practice yet, because he's still too sore, and he said the doctor told him the chances of him finishing hockey this season were slim. Of course I apologized to him for that, knowing how most are about playing hockey. He said it was his fault though and not mine, so I should stop apologizing all the time.”

“Well, knowing how I feel about diapers, I can't say it'd be a bad thing. I'd be far more crushed at being told I wasn't allowed to play hockey.” Sam laughed.

“Same.” Kenny and Daniel both said at the same time, and many of the others nodded their agreement as well.

“Actually, I agree. I asked him if he wanted to come over on Friday night, we don't have any games, and he could use a friend who understands. He said he'd let me know.”

“What if he doesn't have to wear diapers by then?” Ben asked.

“Then he can still come over, and we'll just offer him diapers for old times sake, I bet he takes them.” Kai grinned.

“We better get changed guys, Coach will be looking for us real soon if we don't hurry.” Daniel all of a sudden said, he realized the time and that they should have already been on the ice.

“Crap, yeah.” Kai said, and they all rushed to strip down and get changed. They were ready in record time, and hit the ice only a few minutes late.

“About time you boys showed up.” Mitch called out.

“Sorry Coach, a personal problem of one of our players that we had to sort out before coming out, if we hadn't, he and his boyfriends heads wouldn't have been in it, and it would have been pointless to be here.” Kai said softly.

“Ah, I see. Anything I can help with?”

“No, not unless you have a spare three hundred thousand dollars sitting around doing nothing.” Kai smiled.

“No, can't say as I do.”

“Good thing I do then or we'd be losing Ben and John, because I'll buy their house and let them stay living there instead of them having to move, and probably move away so that they could afford to live.”

“Oh, then I'm glad you boys took the time this morning to work things out.” Mitch smiled.

“Thought you'd agree.” Kai smiled, and skated off to be with the others.

Mitch just shook his head. He wondered if there was much that Kai would not do for a friend. As soon as the boys were ready though, Mitch started drilling them good and hard. They drank it all up too, working every bit as hard as they possibly could. As soon as training was done, they all headed into the change room to strip, shower, dry, diaper and dress to get ready for school.

Everyone made it to school on time, and as soon as they got there, as promised Kai went to the nearest room with a computer that he could use and logged onto his account and found a few dollars here and there that he could spare, and transferred it all to his bank account. He made sure to transfer more than enough so that he had the money for the purchase price, as well as for all the taxes and transfer fees, so on and so forth, so all told he transferred three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for just in case. He figured that he could always transfer the money back if he had to. Class started soon after though, so he did not have a lot of time before he went to class and worked hard.

The rest of the day went well for the boys, and when Kai told both Denise and Steven about his decision to buy Ben's house for them to live in, and still pay a little rent, they were happy with him. Steven of course was only too happy to act as lawyer for Kai for the purchase stuff. As expected, Ben's mom did call Kai and she told Kai that he did not have to do that for them, so on and so forth, that they would be just fine. Of course he brushed it off and told her it was already in the works. The owner of the house called next, and talked mostly to Steven, and Steven assured him that it was a once only offer of cash up front, so on and so forth. He was more than pleased with the offer, and agreed to come by the following day to make the transaction. Kai had to go check to see if he had the money yet, and he was pleased that he did in fact have it. All he had to do was write the check for the owner and that was it, the house would be his. Steven of course went over everything with Kai, so that he knew what he was getting into, so on and so forth.

Thursday went good for the boys, and ballet class after school was good as well. When they got home they had a quick dinner, and waited for the owner of Ben's house to arrive, and when he did, they all shook hands, and Kai introduced himself as the purchaser. He almost left, asking if it were some kind of joke, but Denise and Steven assured him it was no joke. Finally he relented and signed all the paperwork and took the check, he went straight to his bank to deposit it. He was actually surprised when the check cleared, after asking the bank to check into it right away and deposit the money into his account, because he needed it right away. He called Kai to inform him that the check had cleared and that the house was his. He then called Ben's mom and worked out rent payment information, so on and so forth, and she and the boys were abundantly happy, especially when they were paying half the rent they used to. She felt that money would once again be not so difficult to come by, and that felt nice.

“So guys, Kai did it, he managed to buy the house from the old owner, and he's only charging my mom a thousand a month, that's half as much as she used to pay, she's so happy it's not even funny.” Ben told everyone happily the next morning at hockey practice.

“That's so awesome.” Everyone said.

“Yeah, it is. Thanks so much Kai.” Ben cried, wrapping Kai in another hug.

“You're welcome Ben, glad to help.” Kai smiled warmly.

“So, is what's his name still having troubles with his bladder and is he coming to your house tonight?” Ben pushed Kai away and asked as he wiped the tears away.

“Yes and yes. His name's Brian by the way. He sounded a little depressed when I talked to him last, but I think it's more from not being allowed to play hockey for at least another week. He sounded happy to come over though, and we'll try our hardest to show him that wearing diapers isn't so bad.” Kai smiled sadly.

“Don't be so hard on yourself, it wasn't your fault you know. Sure, you're the one who hit him and you did hit him pretty hard, but if he hadn't hit you first, and tried to goad you into fighting, then you wouldn't have hit him in the first place.” Ben said softly.

“I know, but try and tell me you wouldn't feel at least a little guilty from it!” Kai pointed out.

“No, I'd definitely feel guilty, and you'd for sure be there trying to tell me the same thing, trying to make me feel better for an accident.” Ben said far too smartly for Kai's good, and he had nothing he could counter it with, so he just smiled and nodded.

They talked for a few minutes more as they suited up for hockey, and then hit the ice and worked hard once again. After that they of course had school, so they headed to school and worked hard there. As soon as they were released from the bonds of school, the boys all rushed home and got more comfortable, making sure to change their wet diapers as well, Nick of course was with them, a fact that Owen seemed more than a little happy with.

“So, what should we do?” Owen asked giddily.

“Let's wait for Brian to get here first of all, and then we'll decide.” Kai smiled.

“Oh, right. When's he supposed to be here?”

“Any time now. I told him to be here when we got home from school and told him when that was, and we just got here, so any time.” Kai said, and no sooner had he said it when the doorbell rang.

“Hi Brian, how's it going?” Kai asked Brian as he let him in, hiding behind the door of course until Brian was all the way in and the door was once again closed.

“Um, good. You're wearing just a diaper!” Brian pointed out, blushing cutely.

“Yeah, we all are. Kenny and I both need diapers, and so does Nick who you'll meet in a few seconds as well, and Owen and Daniel both just like wearing diapers. I know you haven't really met any of them yet, so let's go. They're waiting for us in the kitchen. If you want to, you can strip down to just your diaper as well, it'll be more comfortable, I promise, and we're all wearing just diapers, so you won't be alone. In fact you'll be the only one dressed if you stay so.”

“Um, I don't think I can do that yet.” Brian blushed more.

“Whenever you're ready, that's okay. Come on, let's go meet the others.” Kai smiled warmly and led him to the kitchen.

“Guys, meet Brian. He's a little shy yet to strip down to just his diaper, so be gentle on him.” Kai said.

“Hi Brian.” They all called out.

“You told them all that I had to wear diapers?” Brain asked.

“Sure I did. Like it makes any difference in this group, really.”

“I guess so, just sorta embarrassing. I don't know how I'll cope at school next week, the doctor said I could go back.”

“Oh, you'll be fine, and I'll help you out. Now, the rest of the guys here are Kenny, he's my boyfriend, Owen and his boyfriend Nick. Daniel, who's also gay isn't here at the moment, nor is his boyfriend.” Kai said, pointing each boy out as he said their names.

“You're all gay?” Brian said in shock.

“If you'd open your eyes and use the gaydar I know you have, you'd probably already have realized that.”

“What do you mean by that, and what's gaydar?” He asked curiously.

“Before I answer that, are you sure you want me to, because if I answer your question, I'll tell you everything, and I have a tendency to embarrass people?” Kai grinned.

“Um, I think so. I don't know what you're talking about though, so how could it be embarrassing?”

“Okay, just remember, I gave you the option. Well, first I'll answer the gaydar question. It's said that certain people can always tell when someone else is gay. Have you ever felt that way, that you just knew someone was gay, even if you never really met them?”

“Sure, all the time. I knew you were gay the first time we talked.”

“Care to know who those certain people are that have gaydar?”

“I suppose so.” Brian shrugged, the others grinned.

“Normally all gay people who've accepted themselves can do it. When did you accept the fact that you were gay?”

“Um, a year ago now I guess.” He blushed, but given the others were all gay, and he could sort of tell now that he was looking at them too, he did not have as much problem admitting this.

“Great. So yeah, like I said, if you'd have opened your eyes, as you now have, you'd have realized it before now. You can see it now that you've opened your eyes, and congratulations on admitting it, even though we all already knew it, or were at least almost a hundred percent certain.” Kai smiled warmly.

“Yeah, I do see it now, not because you said it though.”

“Have you told anyone else?”

“My parents, but in all fairness, I had no choice. My dad went to my computer to do a routine maintenance on it and I sorta forgot to clear my history, and he had never heard of Nifty stories before, so he checked them out and was surprised that the only ones I had highlighted were gay stories. He sat me down and asked me point blank three months ago if I was gay and told me why he was asking, and I broke down and told him. He made me tell my mom, but it took me three days to work up the courage to do it. Dad promised he wasn't going to tell her, but I had to, and when I did, she just smiled and said she knew and thanked me for telling her. Other than them though, no one but you guys knows.”

“Yeah, moms have an uncanny knack of knowing certain things long before we really realize it, assuming of course they know their kids. There's a better than even chance that your dad wasn't doing routine maintenance either, he was checking on your history to see if what he suspected was true. I can almost guarantee you that if one of your parents suspected, they both did. If they still talk to each other, they'd probably already talked it over.”

“You think so?”

“Sure. Go ahead and ask them, I bet they say yes.” Kai smiled

“No thanks. It's enough that they know, I don't really care when they knew.” Brian smiled.

“So, you said yesterday that you had another doctors appointment today, and you said that he cleared you to go to school next week, but otherwise, what did he say?”

“He's starting to wonder if I'll ever regain my bladder control. The tests he did say that the swelling and the bruising has gone down, yet I'm still not able to hold my pee at all. I don't even feel it, but my diaper's always wet. He tried putting a catheter in, and it went in without pain now, so I wore it most of yesterday, but it was really uncomfortable. Today he asked which I preferred. I told him that I didn't like the catheter, but that I also didn't really want to wear diapers to school, so maybe there it'd be better, but at home I think I'd rather diapers. He taught me how to insert it properly, and everything.”

“It doesn't sound as if you're all that upset by that news.” Kai said softly, wondering if he had the courage yet to say what Kai knew he was feeling.

“I don't know. I should be crushed, I should hate you for doing this to me, making me a baby, but I'm not, and I don't understand it.”

“Would you like me to help you understand it?”

“How could you?” Brian asked curiously.

“Easy. Look at Owen, look at his diaper. Look at his smile at wearing the diaper. Now, remember when I told you that he and Daniel don't actually need them, that they just love to wear them. Now, take Nick, Kenny and I, we need them, but if you asked any of us which we'd rather, catheters or diapers, we'd all say diapers in a heartbeat I bet. Also, even if somehow tomorrow my bladder started working, I wouldn't give up my diapers, not now, not ever. I think that deep down you're starting to love diapers as well, and as wrong as you think that is, it's really not. There's so much worse than that, and it's not even close to the end of the world either.”

“But how could anyone love diapers?”

“Thanks for not denying it, because I think I speak for all of us when I say that we could all see it already. It doesn't hurt that you keep sneaking peaks at our diapers. As for how could anyone love diapers, well my response to that is how could anyone not love diapers. They're so comfortable, so convenient, so warm and so soggy. They just feel so nice, and you don't have to worry about when you have to go pee, 'cause you can just go whenever you want.” Kai smiled.

“But it's so wrong.”

“How so?” Kai asked softly.

“No one loves diapers, only babies need diapers.”

“Really, ask us if we love diapers, I dare you?”

“No thanks, I already know your answer.” Brian laughed.

“Exactly, so clearly some people love diapers. Obviously not all people would like diapers, some people love things even more strange, but we'll get into that later. You would however be surprised by how many people, boys especially that would love to wear diapers if given half the chance. Do you like how they feel, do you like how warm and squishy they are, how warm they are, do you like how convenient they are, you don't have to get up in the middle of a good movie or game just to go pee? Tell me the truth, are they comfortable, handy, and even good?”

“Yeah, I guess you're right. I haven't gotten to enjoy an entire movie all the way through in my life 'til I started wearing diapers.” Brian had to laugh.

“And?”

“Okay, they're good. I don't love them, at least not yet, but I think I see where you're coming from.”

“That's good. The problem is there's so much of a stigma against wearing diapers, but it's really not bad. Now, are you gonna strip, or would you rather go swimming?”

“I think I'd rather swimming.”

“I hoped you'd say that.” Kai said with a mile wide smile.

“Um, why do I have the weirdest feeling that that smile means all sorts of bad things for me?” Brian gulped.

“Oh, it won't be bad, and at least you should already be used to being naked in front of other boys, so it shouldn't be too hard on you, even if you will be heard.” Kai giggled.

“Do you guys swim naked or something?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact we do, and so will you, so come on.” Kai grinned and grabbed Brian by the hand and led him from the kitchen where they had all been sitting while talking and to the pool house.

“Wow, what a place.” Brian said once he was dragged into the pool house by the surprisingly stronger and younger boy.

They quickly stripped in the change room, and showered off, Brian had no real issues with that, because like Kai said, he was used to that already. It had been difficult to show his diaper, but considering that was all the others were wearing, it was not all that hard to do. Brian though should not have been so surprised by Kai's strength, because as his doctor said, whoever hit him did so with enough force to have bruised more than half his insides with one hit, and that was hard to do at best. The doctor too was surprised when Brian had told him it was a younger and smaller boy that had caused all the damage.

“Thanks. We like it. Let's go swim for a bit and then sit back in the hot tub.” Kai smiled.

They went and swam for about half an hour before climbing out and hitting the hot tub.

“So, I must have really pissed you off to make you hit me as hard as you possibly could have to cause as much damage as you did.” Brian laughed, Kenny and Owen though nearly choked on their tongues.

“Um, I hate to tell you this, but I pulled my punch at the last second, I didn't hit you as hard as I could've. I didn't want to hurt you.” Kai said softly.

“You're telling me that you could've hit me harder?”

“Afraid so, yeah.” Kai said and the others nodded.

“Good grief. The doctor at the hospital said that had I have been hit any harder, I could have ended up with internal bleeding from at least three places, and had I've waited like I did to go to the hospital, then I probably wouldn't have lived.”

“Hence the reason I pulled my punch, I didn't want to kill you. Granted, I didn't mean to hit you near as hard as I did either. I was mad and the adrenaline from the game was clouding my judgment too much, it's a mistake I won't make again, I promise you that.”

“Well, I can promise you that I certainly won't be the one to get in your way again. In fact, if we play against each other, I'll probably cower in fear if you skate toward me.” Brian giggled.

“Then it'll make it easier to get passed you with a puck I guess.” Kai giggled too, because he knew Brian was teasing him.

“How hard can you hit, and where on earth did you learn to hit so hard?”

“Not sure how hard I can hit, but Daniel wants to take me to the arcade tomorrow morning to test that on their punch force meter, and well where I learned it might come as more of a surprise that I'm a diaper wearing and loving gay boy.” Kai grinned.

“What could possibly be more surprising than that?” Brian asked curiously.

“Well, I've only been playing hockey for a few weeks now, what close to seven now I think. No, I'm actually a dancer and a gymnast as well as a figure skater. I do ballet dance mostly though.”

“Yeah right.” Brian choked and then started laughing uproariously.

“Actually, I was being serious.” Kai grinned when Brian finally settled down.

“Yeah right, how could dance, gymnastics and figure skating teach you how to hit like that?”

“Ever been bullied before because you were a ballet dancer, it teaches you to be tough.” Kai growled menacingly, and then started giggling. “Actually, they don't teach you to hit, but they all require great amounts of physical strength. Ask the others. They've all been in hockey for years, yet they say they've gained more muscle and strength since starting dance and gymnastics with me. No, they require huge amounts of strength to be able to do, and hitting is easy, so if you're strong and you hit someone, it really hurts.”

“Yeah, I'll say. You saw my stomach I'm sure, it's still black and blue and purple too, and it looks better now than it did on Monday. Even now, laughing like I just did still hurt a bit, trust me, I've never felt pain the likes of which your one hit caused me.”

“Of which I'm still sorry for. If I'd have realized a few things, I certainly never would've hit you so hard. I would've pulled my punch even more. Trust me, I would've still hit you, you were asking for it after all, but I certainly wouldn't have hit you so hard.” Kai smiled warmly.

“Man do I ever wish you'd have realized it sooner, but I guess it taught me one valuable lesson, never pick on someone smaller than you are just because he's skating circles around you, and you quite literally were, man, I'd never seen someone skate so fast in my life. Anyway, I thought that taunting you 'til you got mad and then forcing you to fight might get you to back off a bit, man was I ever wrong.” Brian laughed.

“I'm glad I at least taught you a valuable lesson, and if it also helps you to realize your love of diapers, then maybe it wasn't so bad.” Kai grinned.

“I never would have worn diapers before that, that's for sure, but now that I'm having to, it's not so bad.” Brian smiled.

“Good.”

“So, when's Daniel get home then?” Brian asked curiously.

“Should be pretty soon. He does an extra hour of tutoring every day after school to help him to catch up, because he wasn't doing all that well in school before.”

“Oh. What's he like? I know a Daniel at school, he used to be a pretty big bully, but the rumors say he's turned over a new leaf.”

“That sounds like our Daniel. He's really nice though, he just had a lot of shit to deal with, and it made him act like a bully.”

“Oh, really.”

“Yep. We'll tell you all about it later, or Daniel will more than likely, but I didn't know you two went to the same school.”

“I don't know if it's the same Daniel or not, but it sounds like it. I don't know him at all though, he's a bit older than I am and has real assholes for friends, or at least he used to. Even though he's older though, he's in the next lower grade, apparently he was really bad in school.”

“So you're thirteen same as us then?”

“Oh, I thought you were twelve, same as Owen.”

“Oh yeah, I guess Owen is twelve still, but he turns thirteen soon. Most people think I'm younger than that, except I'd be really tall for my age, I just look younger than I am is all.” Kai laughed.

“Yeah, I'm one of them.”

“As for your comment on Daniel being older than you but in a lesser grade, that's what he's trying to fix, so it's definitely the same Daniel.”

“That's good for him. He's really cute.” Brian blushed.

“First time admitting that a boy's cute huh?” Kai smiled.

“Yeah. My dad teases me sometimes when we're at the mall, saying, ooh, there's a cute boy, maybe you should ask him to be your boyfriend. The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure all the cute boys he's picked out for me were gay.” Brian giggled.

“Well, I certainly hope he wouldn't saddle you with no straight boy, like how awkward.” Kai laughed.

“You know what I mean.” Brian laughed as well. The others could not help but to laugh as well.

They were still laughing a few seconds later when Daniel came out into the pool house, looking for them. He smiled and turned back around and went and stripped and showered off, and a few moments later, he was back out and joining them in the hot tub, the occupants of the hot tub had not even noticed him though and were still giggling.

“Hi guys.” Daniel said happily, and then he really looked at Brian and realized he recognized him.

“Hi.” They all said.

“Hey, I recognize you. Um, Brian right?” Daniel asked.

“Yeah, I'm surprised you knew my name.”

“Well, since I realized I was gay, I've started noticing all the gay boys in school, and I learned your name from someone else.”

“Oh, so you knew I was gay too?”

“Let's just say the suspicion was a strong one. Have you got yourself a boyfriend yet?”

“No, but I thought you had a boyfriend already?”

“Oh, I wasn't asking for me, even if you're pretty cute. No, just curious, and I might just know someone who could be your boyfriend.”

“Oh, who is it?”

“I can't tell you that yet, because I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet and find out if I'm right or not. He's pretty cute though, in grade seven, and he's a little shy and scared. Sadly I'm the one who caused most of that, but I'm trying my best to fix that.” Daniel answered.

“Oh.”

“Do you know that there's a gay bi lesbian group at school? I asked the principal today and he said there was and that it met on Monday's.”

“Yeah, I go there, have for almost a couple months now.”

“Cool. So you probably know most of the gay boys at school then. I'm surprised you don't have a boyfriend yet then.”

“Most of them already have boyfriends, and the few who don't are too old for me or not my type.” Brian blushed.

“So you lied to us, I thought you said you'd never told anyone else before.” Kai grinned.

“Actually, I still haven't even admitted there that I'm gay, and while I'm sure everyone there knows, I've never said. I just haven't been able to yet.”

“Oh. Why not?”

“Don't know. Saying it and feeling it are different, and I just couldn't say it yet, even if my parents made me admit it.” He answered, and then promptly had to explain it to Daniel.

“So, I think we've spent enough time in the hot tub, and I think I'm ready to get out, so what should we do now?” Kai asked.

“Have you guys shown Brian the house yet?” Daniel asked curiously.

“No, all he's seen are the kitchen and the living room, and the pool house of course. We pretty much came right out here after talking for a bit.” Owen answered.

“Then let's show him the house after getting dried and diapered. Oh, do you still need diapers Brian?”

“Yeah.” Brian said with a hint of a blush.

“Cool.” Daniel said happily.

“The others said you love diapers. Why?” Brian asked as they all hopped out and started heading towards the showers.

“Why not! I mean what's not to love about them. They're so soft, and warm, and comfortable and kinda like having your favorite teddy bear wrapped around you. Not to mention all the benefits. I no longer have to get up in the middle of class to go to the bathroom, I don't have to get up half way through a movie to go to the bathroom, I never have to look for a bathroom whenever I'm out, I just go where I am, well except poop, I don't do poop.”

“Wow, the others said you were a diaper lover, but I never realized you could love diapers that much.”

“Why, the others do, and given how well Kai explains things, I'm sure he had to have explained it better than I did.”

“Actually, you did a better job than he did.” Kenny smiled.

“Cool.” Daniel smiled.

By then they were well rinsed, so they got out of the shower and started drying off. Once dry, the boys led him to Kai and Kenny's bedroom, where all of them helped each other to get nice and thickly diapered. Not so surprisingly, but Brian was blushing the entire time, especially when Owen spread the cream all over his groin. It was only this extreme embarrassment that kept his erection at bay, the others though were not so lucky, not that they cared. Brian though nearly fainted after he was diapered, because he was done first, and saw that the others all got erections. Never before had he seen another boy hard, sure he had seen pictures and movies, but never in real life, and he was in awe. Never before had had a boy buffet of boners to stare at, and he was starting to feel mighty hungry. Kai happened to notice when it was his turn to be diapered, and he chuckled and called out to Brian.

“Brian, don't you know it's not polite to stare?” Kai giggled.

“Huh, oh what?” Brian gasped as he tore his eyes away.

“I think we really need to find you a boyfriend and right fast. You were looking at us like we were an all you can eat buffet after you just got off a ten day fast.” Kai smiled.

“Oh god.” Brian said as a spontaneous orgasm ripped through his body, spilling a fair sized boy load right into the front of his fresh diaper.

It took a few seconds for Brian to come down, and when he did, not only did he blush from the top of his head to the tips of his toes, but he burst into tears. All five boys hopped up and wrapped him up in a nice hug. It took a few minutes for him to stop sobbing, and when he did, Kai pushed him away slightly and they all stepped back so that they could talk again.

“What was that all about, well except the really great cum you had, I think we can all guess that, since we've been there a time or two ourselves?” Kai asked softly.

“You guys must hate me now, after just looking at your dicks made me cum like a freak.” He said.

“Of course we don't hate you for that, we enjoyed it actually.” Kai grinned evilly.

“Huh!” Brian said densely.

“Oh come on, you're gay, so are we, we're all boys, we all like what we see. We wouldn't have appreciated much had you acted on your animal impulses and started sucking us, but we would've just smacked you upside the head and told you to get your own boyfriend. We're the first boys you've seen hard, aren't we?”

“Yes, well a couple of the boys in hockey have gotten a little hard before, but that was mostly when we were still kids and I didn't know I was gay yet. Now we all hide so much that you can never tell if someone's hard or not.”

“Oh boy, a bunch of shy boys on your team. No one on our team is at all shy, in fact the straight boys sure seem to take great pleasure in showing off their fine bodies and their ample erections. We don't mind looking either for that matter. Everyone there knows we'd never do anything to them, even if they did ask, we've all got boyfriends already, and there's five more on our team that are either gay or bi too. Over half our team is either actually. There's at least one more on your team other than you, of that I'm certain. Number fifteen I think it was on his jersey.”

“Carl. You think Carl's gay?”

“If that's his name, then I'm pretty sure of it. At least I'm pretty sure it's the same boy who went to my school, I only got a quick glimpse of him as he was growling in my face on the starting lineup.”

“Oh, what makes you think he's gay?”

“Same reason I knew you were. Same reason you'd know he was if you'd only just open your eyes.”

“Oh. Can I go get my clothes now please?”

“No, we've already seen you in just diapers, and I think you'll appreciate this a great deal more and maybe learn to love diapers, because you may as well if you're gonna be stuck with them for a while. Come on, what have you got to lose?”

“What about your parents though?”

“Why would they care one way or the other. First thing, we all wear diapers all the time, only diapers in the house. Almost never are we clothed more than you see us now. Second, Steven, that's Kenny's dad, also has to wear diapers, and he only wears diapers in the house as well. He has the same issue as Kenny has, or other way around if you wish, so he understands. And then there's my mom. Not only is she a child psychologist who's heard it all, at least a few times, but she's actually told a few parents to allow their children to wear diapers if it makes them happy. She's all for being yourself around friends and family, and you're a friend now, so you may as well get used to it. And besides, you may as well get used to it here, so that eventually you can do the same at home, because you should be able to walk around your own house in just diapers, since there's little point in wearing much else.” Kai answered.

“I don't know about this.” Brian said fearfully.

“Come on, no one will make fun of you here, so go for it. We'll all be right there with you.”

“Okay, fine.” Brian relented, and the others showed him the bedroom and bathroom fully, even showing him the private back deck that was still currently bare.

They then showed him the rest of the main level, but explained that the bedrooms were pretty much all the same. They then showed him out the back doors so that he could see the hockey rink back there, and he was surprised.

“Wow, I can't believe you guys have a real hockey rink at home. No wonder you're so good.”

“Actually, given that we just really moved in, we've hardly even touched it yet. I think we've gone out and played out there maybe five times in total so far. No, how we get most of our practice is at hockey practice, and then downstairs we get all our exercise.”

“What's downstairs?”

“Just wait 'til you see this.” Nick said happily.

“Okay, then show the way please?” Brian asked curiously.

And show him they did. They led him down the stairs to the basement, and when they got to the bottom, Brian just stopped and stared in awe. The place was huge, and it had every piece of equipment his school had, but better. The only thing missing was the trampoline he figured, and that was not such a huge loss. They also had more workout equipment than his school had too, and it too looked to be better. He looked around for quite a few minutes at all the equipment, wondering how he could get half of this in his house, because he too loved gymnastics, not that he would ever tell his friends that mind you.

“Wow, I've never even dreamed of a house like this before. This entire gym is just totally incredible. What I wouldn't give to have this at home.” He said in awe.

“You'd probably have to give at least two and a half to three million to get all this. We didn't pay near that much mind you, but only because mom was owed a lot of favors by a lot of people.”

“Wow, what kind of favors could she have earned to get all this?”

“She saved many peoples lives. I think that's a pretty good way to earn a favor, don't you?”

“That'd definitely do it.”

“Yeah, most of them she helped to save their children, but a few she helped when they were kids too, and most parents would give anything to save their kids.”

“Yeah, my mom told me that once before. No wonder you guys are so fit and strong if you have all this, and I'd just love to have all the gymnastics equipment, I love gymnastics.”

“Are you in a gymnastics club yet then?”

“No, I couldn't, all the kids at school would harass me too much.”

“First of all, who really gives a damn what everyone else thinks. The only people you have to worry about are you and your friends and family. If your friends have a problem with it, then they're clearly not your friends.” Kai said firmly.

“I guess so, but I still wouldn't like it. I don't get bullied, thankfully, and I don't bully anyone either, I just go about my own business and live my life.”

“At least you're not a huge bully like captain juvie here was.” Kai grinned while pointing to Daniel.

“Was being the key word there, but I'm about to get all bully on your ass if you say that again.” Daniel growled.

“No, you can't have my ass, I'm saving it for Kenny.” Kai grinned, Daniel laughed, and Brian blushed.

“Shame that.” Daniel grinned brighter.

“Nah, you're not big enough for me anyway.”

“He's a whole millimeter longer than I am, and two around, I hardly think that classifies as being smaller.” Daniel pointed out in a huff.

“You guys have measured each other when hard?” Brian gasped, his blush having not receded one bit.

“Sure we have, we were curious.” Kai giggled.

“Wow, and I thought I was strange for measuring myself.” Brian laughed.

“Nah, I think most boys do. Heck, one boy at ballet school last year took daily measurements. By the end of the year, he'd gained one full centimeter.” Kai smiled.

“And I bet you had no help in him growing, did you?” Kenny laughed.

“No, none at all. Besides, I think it's a myth that if you suck a guys dick enough and you'll make it bigger. Didn't stop us all from trying though, repeatedly.” Kai laughed.

“You've sucked a few boys before?”

“Sure, and fucked and been fucked by them too. I went to an all boys ballet school all of last year, all of us were either gay or bi, and we were all very horny. I didn't even last a week before I lost my virginity. Let's say I had more sex last year than the average kid gets all throughout high school and college.” Kai grinned.

“Wow, what was it like?”

“Amazing. The first time did hurt a bit, but after that, it was awesome.”

“Do you and Kenny, well you know.......?” Brian blushed.

“We don't make love to each other anally yet, if that's what you're asking. Most everything else though we do do together.”

“Oh.” He blushed more.

“Please tell me I wasn't that bad when I came here?” Owen asked.

“No, you were a little worse actually.” Kai pointed out truthfully.

“I was afraid you were gonna say that.” Owen laughed.

“So, what should we do now guys?” Daniel asked.

“Can we work out down here for a while?”

“Afraid not. We've been barred from doing too much exercise 'til we're all healed fully.” Kai answered sadly, he wanted to so bad though.

“Huh, why, and healed from what?” Brian asked curiously.

“Extreme exhaustion. We've quite literally been working ourselves to death, and if my dad catches us working out any more than necessary, death will be welcomed from what he'll do to us. Namely pull us from hockey and ballet.” Kenny said seriously, because to him and Owen, losing hockey was worse than death, but the same could be said for Kai with ballet.

“Wow. How much were you working out?”

“Four to six hours a day, sometimes more if we had a game.” Owen answered.

“Yikes. I'd have died. I do maybe one a day, two on a hockey day, only because practice is almost two hours long, and I do nothing on game days.”

“You get used to it actually. I never thought I'd be able to keep up to Kai, but now I'm getting pretty close. He can still outdo Kenny, Daniel and I though.”

“No wonder your dad told you to stop though, you could really hurt yourselves doing that.”

“We know, we just didn't realize we were getting that bad.” Kenny said.

“How could you not?”

“Easy, we were pushing ourselves hard, trying to keep up to Kai, and he didn't realize we were getting as bad as we were, but our parents saw it. Kai could keep going, but not for much longer my dad figures before he just dropped as well. Saturday night right after a game we came home and totally crashed, it was only just a little after seven, but we'd done two hours of intense exercises that morning, and then had four hours of ballet class, where we pushed ourselves every bit as hard again, and then we had a hockey game, so it was a very full day to say the least, and we were pretty tired.”

“You could have kept going Kai?”

“Yeah, and I still could, I just would've slowed down a bit. I know my limits, the others don't seem to know theirs yet, so Steven imposed limits on all of us, me too. I tried to argue, but he made me agree, or else. What could I do, besides, I was getting pretty tired and was going to back off a little anyway 'til the hockey games were over with, it was becoming too much.”

“Wow, how do you do it?”

“Just been doing it for a long time is all. Probably since I was four, I think that's when I started working out every day, so that I could do good in dance.”

“I didn't even know what working out was 'til I was like nine, that's when I really got into hockey.”

“Same here.” The others all said.

“Let's go upstairs guys and get started on dinner, and then we can just sit in the kitchen and talk and or play cards.” Kai suggested.

“Okay.” The others all said.

They headed upstairs, and they got some dinner started, and then they sat back at the table and just talked for the next hour or so until Steven walked in. As soon as he saw all the boys there and stripped down to their diapers, he figured he may as well as well too, so stripped right there. The only reason he had not done so as he passed his bedroom was because he had been unsure of the new boy, but he looked comfortable enough. Steven did notice the new boy watching him though, and he hid a smile. He did peg the boy as being gay already, but that was little surprise, he doubted Kai would invite anyone for a sleepover that was not, well except the hockey team.

“Hi boys, dinner smells good.”

“Thanks.” They all said.

“Hi, name's Steven, I'm Kenny's dad.” Steven said to Brian.

“Brian. Good to meet you Steven.” Brian smiled.

“Good to meet you as well. I'm glad that you're comfortable going around the house in just diapers, it shows a good strong mind.” Steven smiled.

“I thought it was Kai's mom that was the child psychologist.” Brian said.

“She is, but living here with a psychologist and her son who's every bit as good as she is, and better in some ways, has a tendency to rub off. No, I'm a....”

“No, don't tell him.” Kenny said quickly.

“What, what's so bad, what does he do that you'd be so ashamed of?” Brian asked curiously.

“Oh fine, you'd have found out eventually anyway. He's a...a....a lawyer. Okay, you happy now, like how disgusting, huh.” Kenny said, looking as if he were going to burst into tears, he was so good.

“Um, my mom's a lawyer too, it's not that bad.” Brian said in shock at the reaction, he had truly believed Kenny was serious.

“And you can say it with no shame?” Kenny asked in awe.

The others though were trying their hardest not to burst out laughing, Kenny had Brian, hook line and sinker.

“Well yeah, it's not that big a deal. Not that I tell too many people that mind you.” Brian laughed.

“Oh, that was so good, I totally had you. You honestly believed that I was so ashamed of having a lawyer for a parent.” Kenny said, crying he was laughing so hard now.

“Oh, you're good.” Brian laughed, the others were now laughing as well.

“Thanks. That was fun. Normally I tell people he's a male stripper or a porn star or something like that. It's less embarrassing.”

“I'll have to remember that one for my mom. She likes a good lawyer joke.” Brian laughed again.

“Actually, he's telling the truth, he has told people that before.” Steven said with a straight face, but Brian was not sure if he was serious or kidding.

“He's not kidding.” Kenny said.

“My mom would kill me if I said that about her.”

“Maybe, but only after she stopped laughing. What does your dad do?” Kai asked.

“He's a tax adviser.”

“What's his name, I probably know him, I'm a tax lawyer?” Steven asked.

“Oh, his name's Bill.”

“Ah, know Bill well, he's a good guy.” Steven smiled warmly.

“I like him.” Brian smiled.

“That's good.”

Kai got up right then to check on dinner and told the others that it was almost ready, and that he could use some help, but if the rest could set the table, that would be great. A few minutes later, just s they were finishing up, Denise walked in.

“Hi mom, good timing, go ahead and sit.”

“Thanks baby.”

“How was your day?”

“Really good. I went and saw my little facial scarred patient today, they had to hold off on removing his bandages 'til this morning unfortunately, but it looks like he's almost all healed, and he's quite the handsome little guy. There's still a few little scars that they assured us can be fixed later, once he's all healed, and he's still a little red and puffy, but I'd say he's pretty darn close to all fixed up. As the doctors were afraid though, the one damaged spot on his cheek was too far gone to repair totally, but it hardly shows unless he smiles, but it doesn't really show that much at all, he just has a cute little crooked grin. He cried when he finally got to really see his new face, he said it didn't look like him, but that it was perfect, but anything would have been better than what he'd gotten used to looking at in the mirror. He even admitted today that since he woke up, he's avoided all mirrors, because it made him feel sick to see himself like that.”

“You probably should have seen that one coming and worked with him on that as well mom.” Kai pointed out.

“I probably should have, but there were other more pressing matters that needed to be fixed first, and his face was actually the least of my concerns, because I knew the plastic surgeons were going to be doing all they could to fix him back up anyway.”

“I suppose that's true, but had you have had the time, maybe you should have, so that he didn't feel like a horrible freak, even if it was only for a couple months.”

“Yeah, I know it was hard on him, but I did everything to pick him up and put him back together again, and I succeeded where no one else would have been able to, so that's all that matters.” Denise smiled.

“That's really good.”

“So, who are you? I'm Denise.” Denise asked, introducing herself to Brian.

“Brian.” He blushed a little at his current attire.

“If you're blushing because you're wearing only a diaper, don't. Look around you, I see all these big diaper loving oafs in diapers every day, it's no big deal. I understand it was the punch that Kai gave you that's the cause of this?”

“Thanks, and yes, and while I should be upset, I'm not really.”

“Ah, growing to love diapers already are you? Well, you're certainly in the right house to learn you're not alone there.” Denise smiled warmly.

“Yeah, starting to see that.” Brian laughed lightly.

“I see that you're still quite bruised, is it only the outside, or inside as well?”

“Both, but the outside I'm assured is the worst now, except my bladder, but it's gone down enough that the doctor thinks the damage could be permanent, but they'll know more once they do the scope.”

“Oh, not very nice. Did the doctor tell you what's entailed in doing that?”

“No, not really, other than to say it'd be more than a little uncomfortable.” Brian said, giving a sour look.

“More than a little uncomfortable I'm afraid might have been polite. I'm not sure if Kai remembers it or not, he was four at the time when his tests were done, but I was there and I remember well. He actually swore at the doctor doing it, and not just a little either. The doctor was more than a little surprised to have a four year old swearing at him like a trucker. He was already pretty damn vocal back then, and he really told the doctor off good.”

“I remember it, not totally, I don't remember what I said, only that I hated him for making me hurt so bad.” Kai giggled.

“That's about what I thought. Brian though, it might not be so bad for you, because your penis will of course be larger than a four year old's is. It is, right?” Denise teased.

“Haven't seen many naked four year old's around lately, but I sure hope so.” Brian giggled.

“No kidding, otherwise you have bigger problems than a bad bladder, or should I say smaller. Anyway, they're gonna send a camera right up your penis, through the tip, and right into your bladder. While the scope is quite small, I assure you, it feels a mile wide as it's going in. At least that's exactly what Kai said it felt like. It's probably not so bad, and with your penis being larger, it'd naturally be able to accept more. Be aware though, it's likely to hurt quite a bit.”

“Oh, I almost wish you hadn't told me that.”

“I know, but I'm a firm believer in telling people all that they should know before they have any procedure done at all, no matter how minor. Sadly, the doctors at the hospital probably won't warn you at all, they'll just flip your gown up, prepare your penis and slip the scope in, and won't even say anything to soothe you. The bastard who did Kai's scope was really rough too, and I almost swore at him as well.”

“Well, thanks I guess.”

“When do you have to go in for the tests?” Kai asked curiously.

“Not 'til all the swelling and bruising goes down. If I regain control, obviously I don't have to go in for it. They expect that to be at least another week though before they'll send me in for it.”

They had been dishing up as they talked, and now they were sitting at the table, enjoying their meal.

“And what if let's say you grow to love diapers and you wish to stay in them, yet claim that you're still not feeling it?” Kai asked curiously.

“Somehow I doubt that. I don't think I like diapers that much, at least not yet.” Brian smiled.

“Are you lying to us or yourself?” Kai asked softly.

“Obviously myself if you guys don't believe it.” He grinned, knowing he was caught.

“So, what will you do then?”

“Take it as it comes I guess and figure things out later. Pretty much what I always do, take the wait and see approach. No real point in planning too much 'til you know what's really happening.”

“Fair enough.” Kai smiled.

“So, those your parents the night of the hockey game trying to drag you out?” Denise asked.

“Yeah, they were. I finally told them to go sit back down, that I wasn't leaving 'til the game was over, end of discussion. They finally did, but they weren't happy about it at all. I heard about it all the way to the hospital too I tell you.”

“At least they care for you.” Denise pointed out softly.

“Yeah.” Both Owen and Daniel said sadly.

“I take it from that response that you two weren't so lucky and maybe explains the reason you live here?” Bryan asked softly.

“Pretty much sums it up.” Daniel nodded.

“I'd like to hear more about it later if you're willing to?” Brian asked softly.

“Sure, we have no secrets here. We'll tell you anything you want to know. What about you though, what are your parents like?” Owen asked this time.

“Thanks, I'd like that. My parents are really nice. They make good money and try to give me everything I need, but they won't give me everything I want either, they always said they weren't going to have a spoiled rotten child. Having seen my fair share of them, I'm glad they did so. Sometimes though it almost seems like they're trying to hold me back, to protect me too much.”

“I hate to tell you this, but as a parent, I can understand that. I have to force myself not to do the same thing all the time. Face it, you're growing up fast, becoming your own person, and it scares them, because they realize in few too many years you'll be moving out and becoming a man. That's scary to a parent, we like to think you'll always need us, but the fact is, once a child hits ten, they don't really need their parents all that much, only for backup, support, and a strong shoulder to cry on when they fail. It's really hard seeing Kenny growing up, but I don't hold him back, just warn him from time to time, and give him limits, and only if he doesn't abide by that, do I go further and smother him a little.” Steven said softly.

“I never thought of it from their perspective before, but I guess it makes sense. Is there anything I can do though?”

“The only thing you can do is sit down and talk to them, and make them see things from your point of view. Obviously they've forgotten how it feels to be your age. Don't forget, parents are people too, and we forget things after a while. I'm still young enough though that I do remember back then, and I know how I felt to always feel like I was being held back. They're likely to cry, especially your mom, but they do need to know that you don't need them holding your hand all the time any more, that you need to be allowed a certain amount of freedom. There's gonna be some give and take 'til they feel they can trust your judgment, but you'll have to deal with that.” Steven answered simply.

“Couldn't have said it better myself.” Denise smiled.

“Thanks.” Both Steven and Brian said at the same time.

“So, how do you do in school then?” Daniel asked.

“By the sounds of it, better than you were doing, but probably nowhere near as good as I should be doing. My parents are always on my case about getting with it and doing my school work better. I just don't really care so much though.”

“Trust me, care, or you'll be in the same boat as me and then you'll be fighting an uphill battle just to catch up. If I'm lucky I'll graduate on time, but more than likely I'll still be at least a half a year behind.”

“I know, it's just all I care about is hockey.”

“Then maybe you should be thinking about it this way,. If Kenny were to start slipping in grades, I'd pull him from hockey in a heartbeat, and he knows that. If you get too bad in school, your parents could very easily do the same to you. Now, how much do you love playing hockey and how much would that hurt? I already know how much, because you haven't been depressed about wearing diapers, only that you can't go play hockey, and that's only for a couple weeks. If your parents decided to cancel hockey for an entire season, how would that make you feel?”

“I'd die, I love hockey so much, they'd never do that to me though, they know what it means to me.”

“They may know what it means to you, but they also know what a good education means to your future, so trust me, if you throw away your schooling for hockey, they will react, and you won't like it. Sure, maybe you could make it big and make millions playing the game you love, but let's face it, there's not really much chance of that, not unless you're a lot better than you showed on the ice the other night, and you're pretty good, well except at judging who to hit, but I guess you couldn't really be blamed for that.” Steven said softly.

“You think so?”

“I know so. While I can hope and pray that Kenny will soon be good enough to make it pro in hockey, I'm realistic enough to make sure he works hard towards a good backup plan.”

“Oh. I'll try and do better.” Brian said softly.

“That's all anyone can ask. I know, not really great dinner conversation with people you barely know, but if you're sitting around in just diapers, you know each other well enough to be friends and say what needs to be said.” Steven smiled.

“It's okay.” Brian smiled warmly.

They finished eating dinner a few minutes later and then they all helped to clean up quickly, before heading to the living room to sit back and relax for the rest of the evening. The boys all decided to sleep on the living room floor, so near the end of their evening, they got all the blankets and pillows out that they would be needing, and got their big bed all set up. Even Daniel was going to sleep out there with them, Steven whispered to him that this was one of the times he needed to be a boy and do boy things, and he nodded his understanding. Shortly after, the boys all helped to change each others diapers, and then they shut everything down, leaving only one light on in the hall for illumination, and then they all went to sleep.
