"This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last."

Theo didn't know how long they sat there. Tenderheart sat next to him and brought him into an embrace while Grumpy gently rubbed his back, humming a sweet, yet melancholic melody as he did so.

Theo felt spent, even more tired than when he had undressed from the cold, winter rain that had drenched him as he ran into his house what felt like so long ago. He no longer felt like fighting, and he still didn't know what he should think of the two individuals consoling him but he couldn't find it in him to mistrust them anymore. They had told him the things he had yearned to hear all of his life, and that fact alone had left him stripped of resistance.

After a while, Theo opened his bloodshot eyes, and looked blankly at his coffee table, not focusing on anything in particular.

"I... I think I should go get... changed..." he said, his voice still unstable from his crying, he cleared his throat and nervously looked up at Tenderheart, who smiled reassuringly at him.

Before he could react, Theo found himself being lifted by the man, who had surprising strength for his appearance, and carried him over to the stairs.

Theo cringed as Tenderheart put an arm underneath his bottom to better support him, and consequently further pressed his mess against him, causing him to feel incredibly helpless.

He put an arm on his chest, pushing him slightly,"Wait what are you doing? Stop!"

Tenderheart grinned and winked up at Theo, a warm twinkle in his eye, "Can't have babies changing their own diapers now can we? Here, let's give you a hand."

Theo blanched, but resisted no more as the two ascended the stairs, Grumpy tagging along cheerfully behind them.

"Gotta make sure our little stinker burr gets taken care of properly! He deserves a little pampering. After all, he managed not to call the cops on us!" Grumpy stuck his tongue out playfully at Theo, and a different twinge of guilt hit him.

Although having only known them very briefly, the openness and genuine beneficence they had shown him was something that Theo had rarely received in his life, and he felt bad now that he realized he had wanted to have them forcefully removed from his home. He did not fully understand them, but he got that they seemed to have some care for his well being.

Still, those chest things were a little freaky to him.

They ascended the stairs and entered his room, Tenderheart gently depositing Theo in his bed.

He sat there, uncomfortable in his own mess, and spoke quietly, "I can clean myself up, you don't have to do this."

Tenderheart seemed to soften, and he knelt in front of Theo putting a hand on his knee while Grumpy rummaged around in the closet behind him.

"This isn't something we have to do, it's something we want to do, Theo. We want to treat you like you desire to be treated, and understand moreover that we accept you for who you are. There is no need to be embarrassed or ashamed, we love you Theo."

Had Tenderheart not stated this last part, he might have resisted further. But hearing such words of kindness and acceptance left little fight in Theo's body. Still exhausted from his previous breakdown, he glibly allowed Tenderheart to gently push him onto his back, and unbutton the buttons on his onesie.

Grumpy appeared beside Tenderheart, his arms full of supplies. Depositing baby wipes, powder, and rash cream to the right of Theo Tenderheart gracefully untaped Theo's diaper. He shivered a little bit as his diaper area and privates felt exposed to the cool air of his room.

His hands immediately drew to cover himself, but seeing Tenderheart's gentle expression he allowed him to move his hands away, and begin to expertly wipe up his mess.

Still unable to process all this Theo raised his arms to cover his face, his lip quivering as Tenderheart worked swiftly to clean him up. Confused feelings of enjoyment competed with his embarrassment. Theo could not help but love the attention and care he was receiving, being gently forced into being treated like a baby was something that Theo had always fantasized about, but never thought it would become a reality.

And now not only was this happening, but the actual Tenderheart from his favorite television series as a child was giving this nurturing attention. Theo still could not believe this was not a dream.

Having cleaned him up to his satisfaction, Tenderheart deposited the dirtied wipes in Theo's used diaper and wrapped it up, taping it together into a neat package. Reaching for a clean diaper, Tenderheart gently prodded Theo's thigh. Almost instinctively, he raised his behind up slightly, and unwrapping the diaper Tenderheart slipped the padded underneath him.

Powdering and deftly rubbing the cream into the skin and sensitive bits, Tenderheart worked as if he'd changed Theo's diapers a thousand times before. Soon enough Theo found himself being snuggly taped up into a new Care Bears diaper, and Tenderheart padded the front of his diaper affectionately.

Theo looked down at him between his arms covering his face, and saw only patience and understanding in the almost honey colored eyes of Tenderheart.

He spoke softly, "See, that wasn't so hard now was it? Just needed to give it a chance, that's all. Are you feeling better?"

Grumpy stood next to Tenderheart and offered Theo a hand, which he accepted and allowed himself to be raised into a sitting position. He shifted around in his clean diapers and felt relieved, happy to be clean once again.

"I feel a little better yes..." he mumbled, still feeling a little abashed at having had his diaper changed by two other people when only a few hours previously he had hesitated putting himself in one.

Tenderheart ruffled Theo's hair, drawing a wry smile from Theodore as he looked up into Tenderheart's understanding eyes.

"Of course you do, babies always feel better when they're changed into comfy, clean diapers." Tenderheart's tone was soft and low, as if he knew that what he was saying would have a powerful effect on Theo.

A part of him felt uplifted, light, and excited at being referred to as a baby. His earlier feelings of embarrassment seemed to have less of an effect on him as he couldn't help but smile and chuckle a little at the brown haired man, Tenderheart really did seem to have him figured out to a degree.
