Forever Young
Chapter 1: The Dream
Thank you to Smitty91 for allowing me to adopt this story, I don't own Alvin & the Chipmunks or Dave. 'Forever Young' is a title of a song by Jay Z of the same name, I won't be using it; this is just another disclaimer on my part.
It was a cold night in December and the boys were sitting at home with the fire lit and Alvin as usual had his PS3 on playing Need for Speed Prostreet. During one of the sprint races where it's a bog standard race, Alvin let his mind wonder to the days where he and his brothers had no responsibilities, no worries and no cares. He of course was thinking of how easy toddler life really was and how great it was: was; the word that has given Alvin a lump in his throat, that's how it used to be. He wanted to go back to those times with nothing, but playtime and having fun, sure being an adult means more freedom to do as you please, but you have responsibilities. He missed the days of crawling around the house knowing that you're protected all the time from a loving parent figure. The things he missed the most were having a warm, snugly diaper on and sitting in a highchair while being fed also having a bottle and pacifier to go to bed with in a crib. He longed to be cared for again like a helpless baby with no responsibilities. It wasn't as if Dave isn't there to love and protect him anymore as a 15 year old, but he is expecting more of you as the years fly by when you need to stand on your own two feet in the real world. It was coming up to 9pm and the boys would be in bed by 10pm without fail as they burn out from exhaustion during the days' activities fairly quickly. Alvin had completely forgotten about his race for 5 or 6 minutes, as he paused and selected restart race to begin again.
Meanwhile in the rest of the house, Simon was still dreaming of getting a Nobel Prize for any of the sciences, but he wanted one for either Chemistry or Physics. Chemistry to him was interesting as he learns all the Chemistry in the human body like Hydrochloric acid is in the stomach and excess acid causing indigestion, but a simple balancer of Sodium carbonate neutralises this acid. There was Physics as well as he enjoys experimenting with forces and looking at space through his telescope.
Theodore on the other hand was in the living room watching Disney Channel as it was the one thing he enjoyed apart from Meerkat Manor. He turned to Disney Channel when 'That's So Raven' aired.
"Oh goodie, 'That's So Raven'", said Theodore.
Alvin came downstairs having chosen to abandon his race after his mind was swamped with thoughts of wanting to be little again. He heard the TV on and saw Theodore sat in front watching 'That's So Raven'.
"Whoa I haven't seen this for ages".
"Me neither, I thought I'd watch it since there isn't anything else on".
"Hmm ok then".
Alvin sat with Theodore as they watched the programme on the TV, but Alvin's mind was on something else; he wanted to be a baby again. He sat pondering on how to do this without Dave and his brothers noticing. Theodore picked up on Alvin's disturbance as a sign something is wrong.
"Are you ok Alvin?"
"Yeah I'm fine Theo, just a little distracted".
"Wanna tell me about it?"
Alvin froze up, on one side, he was telling himself to reveal everything, but on another his mind was telling him no.
"Well I don't want to bore you".
"Really are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm fine Theo honest".
"Ok if you're sure".
When the show finished, Theodore started to walk out of the room and Alvin knew that his brothers and Dave won't look at him the same way again if he told them his desire to be babied again, but this is getting harder to keep quiet about. He thought about it and he felt that he could sneakily switch to a channel that is suited for younger audiences like Nick Jr or CBeebies, but when going through the younger channels he found that CBeebies stops airing at 6:30pm while Nick Jr runs 24/7. He found this to be both annoying and inconvenient. He however switched to Nick Jr and found that Rugrats aired at 9pm for an hour and he realised that 'That's So Raven' was only half an hour long so he could catch the second half of the double bill of Rugrats at 9:30. He quickly turned the volume down to avoid his brothers to hear the programme he is about to watch and switched to Nick Jr and there Rugrats aired. He sat and watched the intro sequence; he sighed as he remembered watching this on Nickolodeon when it was in its original run.
As the episode progressed, Alvin found himself getting drawn into the programme that he was getting engrossed into it like a toddler watching his favourite show. He was focusing mostly on the babies than the adults or Angelica. He felt odd watching such an inappropriate age show at his age, but to him it felt right in a way. Fortunately since the TV was almost on silent, he could hear others approaching the room and he could make a swift change of channel if needed. He saw Tommy Pickles waddle in his diapers then crawling playing with the toys in a playpen.
"Oh how I'd like one of those playpens with those toys for me to play with", said Alvin to himself as he felt tired all of a sudden.
He found himself going groggy as he struggles to keep his eyes open, when it was inevitable that he couldn't stay awake he changed the channel to the news and turned the TV off and went to bed.
He fell asleep instantly without a word to his brothers, he stuck his thumb in his mouth and started sucking on it as he slept after he got deep enough he started dreaming.
He walked into his house after a hard day of school with his brothers and they went off to do their own thing, while he goes up to his room to play on his PS3, as he walked up he noticed that all the décor was different and he started to wonder if they walked in the wrong house. He went to his bedroom door and he opened it; the first thing he saw was a crib and a few stuffed animals, scratching his head confusedly, he noticed he didn't have a PS3 anymore, a shelf of stuffed animals replaced his shelf of games. He looked around the room and in the background he heard voices of children playing and infants crying. This made Alvin want to walk out, but before he did, he noticed another item in the room, a changing table with shelves underneath. He looked under the table and saw diapers, wipes, baby powder and pacifiers. He wondered if they had adopted a baby without telling him and he was trying to piece together why they'd chosen his room to be its nursery. He looked in crib and saw no-one in it, but he did see a note on the pillow.
It read:
Hi Alvin I thought you might see this before I see you and I'm guessing you're thinking what on earth is going on? Well we saw some things on the computer in the history and decided that these must be searched by you so we have done up your room to match this.
Dave
"What! Dave did this to my room, how did he… oh no"
He went downstairs to the computer, booted it up and checked the history and alas he had unknowingly visited various sites about wearing diapers and even read stories about them. This made him face-palm.
"Oh dear this isn't good, I must've forgot to delete history before logging off".
He heard the door open and it was Dave getting back from work and he deleted the history on his profile before he saw him on the computer. Dave went into the living room and saw Alvin with a disapproved look on his face.
"Look Alvin about your room …"
"That was private, Dave, you don't do that, you don't ever exploit my privacy and you assumed I wanted to be like these people on these sites".
"Alvin I followed through with your desires, you can't deny you wanted this otherwise you wouldn't have looked up stories on this topic, would you?"
"I suppose I can't deny it, ok fine I wanted to be a baby there I said it".
"Well that's the first step Alvin, all you need to do is go up to the nursery and lie on the changing table and let Daddy do what he needs to do to make Alvin comfortable".
Alvin jumped out of the dream when he heard Simon's alarm clock in his ears.
"Whoa that was a weird dream".
He got up and got dressed making sure that his underwear drawer didn't suddenly become a diaper drawer. He must've taken his time to do this as the next thing he heard was, "Hurry up Alvin, you're late again".
He thought "What?" he looked at the clock and saw that it was almost half 7.
"Whoa Simon must've overslept".
He realised that it was the last day of school and on this day he had almost free periods due to the Christmas holidays and teachers rarely teach proper lessons on the last day of term. He sat there for a second to soak this in and he moved off with a backpack and his other bag containing his folder and notepad for jotting down notes in lessons. He went downstairs groggily and placed his bag down on the sofa as he approached the kitchen rubbing his eyes and saw that the clock told him that it was only 7:10am.
"Uh Dave this clocks' wrong, it's almost time to go".
"Alvin, the clock is the right time", said Dave.
The expression on Alvin's face was a picture when he realised he'd been fooled by someone. He heard Simon chuckle at his own trick.
"Simon, you did this!"
"Yeah I changed the time in your room to later so it get you ready quicker", said Simon chuckling.
"Argh I was having a nice dream as well".
"Really what was it about Alvin?" Theodore piped in.
Alvin again didn't want to tell his true desires so he made up a dream.
"I was uh dreaming of getting this amazing racing game for Christmas".
"Oh ok".
Thankfully for Alvin the topic was dropped at that.
"Alvin, are you hinting that there is another item on your list?" asked Dave.
"Well um yeah there is, um F1 race stars", replied Alvin.
"Alright then I'll see what I can do today then I don't want to be Christmas shopping during the Christmas holidays, way too busy in the stores", said Dave.
"Thanks Dave".
Alvin seemed to enjoy food as much as Theodore does as he is always in the cupboards after school and snacking before dinner. Every parent would tell their children not to as it would spoil their dinner; however this doesn't apply to Alvin as he always seems to finish his dinner despite snacking on a packet of cheese balls beforehand. Although he felt older than his brothers, he couldn't shake off the more immature traits of himself.
He sat wondering to himself whether it was alright to have these desires, the more he wanted them, the more convinced he was to want these desires. He nibbled on his waffles and he stretched himself until his back gave a pop as his joints loosened up. He looked at the clock and now it was the right time, he stood up and went to get his things together for school. He grabbed his backpack and his books for the day along with his homework; he proceeded to the bathroom to brush his teeth before heading back downstairs again to his brothers and Dave.
"Right guys let's go now or you'll be late", said Dave.
They headed out to the car, Dave drove them briskly to school when Alvin sat there feeling glum about school. It wasn't fair, he wanted to stay home and play like any other under the minimum school age kid, but no he had to study hard to get more responsibilities something he doesn't want anytime soon. Whenever they drove by the Elementary School where they used to go before heading to Middle School then High School; he'd see the kids being dropped off by their mothers usually with a younger sibling in a push-chair. He found himself being drawn to the push-chair and the younger child occupying the push-chair; he sighed and looked forward again.
"I'd do anything to be babied again", thought Alvin.
Theodore noticed this and tugged on his sleeve, "Alvin, are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, Dave, can I walk the rest of the way, I need some fresh air", asked Alvin.
"Well I can open the window, it's only…" said Dave.
"No Dave I want to walk".
Dave pulled over and let Alvin out as he started walking to school, he thought his behaviour is very peculiar, he turned to his other boys upon climbing back in the car, "Alvin's been acting odd this morning, is everything ok?"
"Beats me, I don't know what's wrong with Alvin".
"Ok, can you try to find out what is wrong and tell me when I pick you up please?"
"Sure Dave".
"Thanks Simon".
He drove them to school minus Alvin who beat them there to avoid a confrontation about his behaviour.
"I don't need Dave and my brothers to know about my desire to be babied, but what if I requested it for my birthday", said Alvin.
"Alvin", said Simon running to catch him up.
"Oh great, just perfect", thought Alvin.
"What is it Simon?"
"What's wrong with you today?"
"What do you mean, I'm fine".
"Is it something you're embarrassed about?"
"Nothing is wrong with me, now just leave me alone", said Alvin.
"Now Alvin that won't do, you can't shut me out of your problems, what is wrong?" Simon walked in front of him putting his paw on Alvin's shoulder.
"You really want to know?"
"Yes Alvin I do".
"I hate school", Alvin lied.
"What and that's what's bothering you?"
"Yeah, that's all", Alvin started to feel hot with anxiety.
"Oh please, everyone seems to hate school, but they don't get into a hissy fit over it".
"I meant this school Simon".
"You don't like this school?"
"No, it's just that I have felt like I don't belong here anymore, I don't fit in at home anymore, I've just changed for the worse and you are better off without me to ruin things for you", replied Alvin.
Simon's jaw dropped as Alvin vented his feelings towards him especially the last part degrading himself in front of him.
"Aren't you going to say anything Simon? Huh?" asked Alvin agitatedly.
"Well I …" Simon stammered.
"Forget it, I knew I wasn't worth worrying over", Alvin stormed off to the boys' toilets in frustration of his own feelings.
"Alvin wait", Simon rushed after him.
"What is it now?" Alvin stopped on the spot.
"Alvin I wanted to tell you that you haven't changed for the worse ok, whatever is wrong, me, Theodore and Dave will help you through it ok", replied Simon.
"Ha you have no idea what I feel like, every day, do you?" asked Alvin quivering.
"No I don't, look Alvin whatever it is even if it's secret you can trust me, I'm your brother", replied Simon.
Alvin took a deep breath and muttered, "I want to be young again".
"Excuse me, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you said, but it sounded like you wanted to be young again", said Simon.
"That's exactly what I said, Simon, I don't know why I feel this way, but the thought of being diapered and babied feels attractive to me", Alvin started blushing under his fur with embarrassment.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa are you telling me that you have a desire to be diapered and babied even though you're going to be turning 15 in the next few months?" asked Simon in astonishment.
Alvin acknowledged the tone and felt ashamed about this plus he knew he couldn't live this down now. Alvin stood before his brother shaking visibly, looking down at the floor, didn't know if Simon was disappointed, shocked, disgusted by his desires to want to be diapered and babied.
"I'm sorry Simon if I have caused you to be mind-blown by this, but I needed someone who I trust to hear from me", Alvin is starting to feel nervous now as he felt that if he could get at least one person on his side it'll make it easier somewhat.
Simon thought for a moment about his answer to this, but the words didn't come to his lips. He thought, "He trusts me enough to know this about him".
"I said too much already… you must… think I'm weird don't you?" Alvin was mentally regretting telling him his desires now.
He started to walk away from Simon ashamed that he had told him that he desired to wear diapers and wanted to be treated like a baby.
"Alvin wait", Alvin stopped and turned with a tear stained face making Simon's heart break.
"It's very clear I shouldn't have told you Simon, who was I kidding, no-one would ever understand my desires, go on tell me that I'm a weirdo, I dare you", said Alvin.
"Well I don't think you are a weirdo, if everyone is the same the world would be boring, Alvin I think class can screw itself, I can catch up, why don't we talk somewhere private where no-one will catch us skipping class?" suggested Simon.
"Simon I can't allow you to feel that you should ruin your 100% attendance because I have a problem", Alvin felt a pang of guilt as Simon was about to ruin his perfect attendance for him.
"Ok then after school then at home?"
"Yeah in our room, no-one is to come in though".
"Ok agreed", said Simon before leading Alvin to class, still reeling from what he had told him.
