Eddie didn't have a normal childhood. He was bullied, verbally abused, taunted, and over protected in an unhealthy way. He was a germaphobe, and his anxiety took over his entire life. So, when he was about 13, he began acting a bit younger than his age when he was alone. It wasn't anything big at first, just sleeping more, watching tv shows aimed towards younger children, and cuddling with his blankets close to his face at night. But, it didn't stay that way for long.
Eddie eventually began doing more little things, such as wetting himself, wearing diapers, drinking warm milk and formula out of baby bottles, sucking pacis, and colouring in colouring books. He even played with his stuffed animals while watching baby television. It made up for the childhood he never got to have.
Now, usually Richie comes over to Eddie's house after school or at night, but lately Eddie had been 'busy' with something else, and Richie had begun to feel worried that his friend didn't want him around anymore. So, one night, Richie snuck put of his own house and headed over to the Kaspbraks'. He unlocked the door with the spare key under the mat before locking it back and going upstairs to Eddie's room. There he found Eddie in a situation that he'd never expected to see before. The boy was in a thick diaper, watching some little kids' show, while sucking on a paci and cuddling with a stuffie. As soon as Eddie saw Richie, his eyes widened in shock and fear. He knew Richie would hate him. He felt tears come to his eyes.
Now, Richie was surprised at first, but he honestly didn't care if Eddie wanted to be big or little. He loved Eddie, and he'd always want Eddie to do whatever made him happy. He tried to think of something to say, when he noticed Eddie's wet diaper.
"You want me to change you, Eds?"
"Please don't make fun of me, Chee, if you hate me just go." Eddie cried softly, his paci falling out of his mouth.
"Eddie, I could never hate you. Okay? I love you, forever and always. You're always gonna be my bestest friend in the entire world, alright? Now, come here, baby, you need a change. You've soaked through a bit."
Eddie hesitantly walked over, tears of embarrassment streaming down his face.
"Eddie, baby, it's okay, you don't need to be embarrassed. I'll take care of you. Okay, sweet angel?"
Eddie nodded, clutching his stuffie as he was changed into a night time princess diaper. Richie also put him in an adorable little pink onsie that he found, and he buttoned it up, glad that it still revealed the diaper. Eddie immediately began to wet, unable to help himself as Richie was bouncing him and pushing on his tummy.
"You're adorable, baby boy."
"Thanks, Dada- Uh, I mean, Chee."
"You can call me Dada, angel. Babies say Dada all the time, and you're my baby, aren't you, precious?"
"Yes! I mean, uh, if you don't mind."
"Of course I don't. Now finish wetting that diaper, precious. I wanna change you one last time before we go night night."
"Okay, Dada. I love you."
"I love you, too, baby."
