After leaving Yugi to think about what he wanted, Atem had wandered through the corridors of the mind they shared, not looking for anything in particular, just enjoying the walk. It wasn't until he got the sensation that Yugi had made his choice that he came back out. He smiled when he saw Yugi sucking his thumb.
"I see you've made your choice." He said, smiling. Yugi nodded. "Good. Now the question remains what are you going to do now, and how far do you want to go?"
Yugi sat down to think about it. It was a fair question he posed.
"You know I'll be willing to help you, Yugi." Said Atem. Yugi nodded, then started thinking about the dream. He knew the most important parts of the dream, and what he wanted to get from it. But he was too embarrassed to get them himself. Atem, being able to hear his thoughts, decided to step in. After everything Yugi had done for him, he was more than ready to pay him back.
"I'll handle this." He promised.
"Are you sure?" Yugi asked. Atem nodded, then took over.
The trip to the store was short and uneventful. Yugi would have been blushing the whole time and giving himself away, but Atem stayed calm, confident, and focused. He got the items he knew Yugi wanted, and was out of the store and back home in fifteen minutes. Once inside the bedroom, Yugi took over again, both excited and nervous at this new prospect.
He opened the package of adult diapers and pulled one out. As excited as he was for this, he was still scared. Atem offered to help and, blushing, he agreed. Yugi took off his pants and his boxers and laid down on the floor, where Atem taped up his diaper. When it was over, Yugi sat up, trying to get used to the feel of it. That's when he remembered that he was still wearing his usual shirt, jacket, and collar. He frowned. That didn't make him feel babyish at all. So he dug through his closet until he found a plain t-shirt. Satisfied with his new ensemble, he crawled over to the bed and reached for the bag from the store. Aside from the diapers, Atem had also gotten him a pacifier, some bottles, and a toy. So he pulled the pacifier out of it's packaging, and went down to the kitchen to sterilize it. While he was waiting, he did the same to one of the bottles and then made himself a bottle of warm milk. When he found the hole in the nipple to be too small for his liking, so he opened it up more by using a ballpoint pen, and then did the same with the other two nipples.
When that was done he left the other bottles and pacifier cool off in the kitchen while he went back to his bedroom to play with the toy Atem had gotten him. It was soft on the outside and oval shaped. It jingled when shook, and had a part that squeaked when squeezed. So he put on some cartoons to watch while he played, then stopped when he wanted his bottle of milk. He sucked on it greedily while he watched TV. An hour passed quickly by. When the milk was gone he went back and grabbed his pacifier and other bottles from the kitchen. He popped the pacifier in his mouth before crawling back to his room. He watched cartoons until he realized he was tired. So he crawled to his bed, snuggled up to his soft toy, and easily fell asleep.
Yugi woke up to urgent pressure on his bladder. He sat up in bed, and then realized something was between his lips. That's when he remembered the pacifier. He moved to start going to the bathroom when he felt padding between his legs and remembered his diaper. He threw the covers off to look at it. It wasn't like he was used to thinking of them a certain way, but he'd always pictured them on babies. A part of his head argued that sitting in a diaper, sucking on a pacifier, and drinking a bottle were the most babyish things a person could do, but this was not the time to be arguing with himself.
He got up and walked to the bathroom and flicked on the light when he was met with his reflection in the mirror. It stopped him cold.
He didn't look like a teenager anymore. He looked like an oversized infant. His eyes had always been the picture of innocence, and now the rest of him was dressed to match. The rational part of him argued that this was nuts, that he was sixteen years old, and that he should start acting like it. But another part, a quieter, more timid voice, argued that it wasn't true. That he was just a baby and he didn't have to act like a big boy if he didn't feel like one.
Yugi didn't know what to do. He was trapped by his own indecision. But he knew he had a choice to make and he had to make it now. His bladder was screaming for release. It all came down to the dream. This moment had happened there, and now it was repeating itself in the real world. If he could handle it there, he could handle it here. So he dropped down onto all fours and started crawling around the house, making cooing noises and pretending that he really was a baby who didn't know anything other than diapers, pacifiers, and bottles of milk. Finally, his body relaxed and he started to wet his diaper. He stopped crawling and sat down where he was until his bladder was empty.
He sat there for a few minutes, wondering what to do now. He ended up crawling back to his room and playing with his toy. And, just like in the dream, his diaper started to grow cold and clammy until he started whimpering quietly. The whimpers grew into cries, and he sat there crying until Atem appeared and changed him. His cried diminished until they were nonexistent, and when his diaper was changed, he reached up and hugged his closest friend tightly.
"Thank you." Atem smiled and looked at him.
Anytime, Yugi. Anytime."
