The boys hung out and made idle chit-chat while they finished unpacking their things. Lucas came out of the bathroom after not too long but Blue sensed it wasn't the right time to talk to him, the mood had already lightened in the room. As they were all talking there was a knock on the door and Orange stuck her head in.
"You guys decent?" she called out, clearly not caring whether or not they actually were.
Nana pushed the door open further and ran into the room. "Popo!" she yelled, excitedly running to her brother and giving him a hug.
"Nana!" he said, catching her and almost getting knocked back by her charge.
"Orange!" Blue yelled out, jokingly putting his arms up and ready to hug Orange.
"You wish," she responded sarcastically. "I was gonna go explore the mansion. You wanna join?" she asked.
Blue smiled, happy Orange hadn't completely abandoned him after all. He nodded and said "I'll see you guys tonight," as he shoved the rest of his stuff in his locker and followed Orange out the door.
o-o-o-o-o
The Inkling children spent the rest of the day exploring Smash Manor. There were rooms for games, cinemas, working out, training, batting practice, target practice, gambling, and so much more. Orange took a certain amount of sick joy as she made sure to point out every bathroom they passed, much to the annoyance of Blue, but they were having too much fun exploring their new home to really get mad at each other. Aside from that, each wing had a different theme based on which fighters were staying there, which gave the mansion a cool and complex first fights were scheduled to happen early the next day, though, so the two decided to call it an early night and each retired back to their rooms to get ready for bed.
When Blue entered his cabin he found the only one still inside was Lucas, who was laying on his bed against the wall and playing his 3DS. Lucas didn't say anything when Blue entered so Blue decided to break the ice.
"Where is everyone else?" he asked.
Lucas shrugged, not looking up. "Pit's probably with Lady Palutena and I think Popo left with Nana to go exploring right after you left," he said. "Toon Link mentioned something about trying to make friends with King K. Rool."
"So...you've just been hanging out here?" Blue asked.
Lucas finally looked up at him, kind of annoyed. "If you must know, I ran some errands with Ness for a while then went to hang out with Megaman at his house," Lucas said with a touch of contempt.
Blue sighed. "Look, can we talk?" he asked, walking toward Lucas' bunk.
"I'd rather - " Lucas started.
Blue ignored him and plopped himself down next to Lucas. When he did, Blue immediately felt the thick, plastic bed liner that had been placed on Lucas' mattress. He nearly jumped off in surprise but the loud crinkling when he adjusted his position told him that that would just make things more awkward.
Lucas' face turned red and he looked away in embarrassment. Blue tried to ignore the mattress' protection and continued on with his mission. "Hey, I'm sorry about earlier," Blue said. "I was embarrassed about what happened this morning but I shouldn't have taken it out on you."
"It's okay," Lucas said nervously, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "At the party, Ness told me I should tell you about my accident but I chickened out…"
Blue blinked, Lucas' odd behaviour was finally making sense to him.
When Blue didn't respond, Lucas continued, "When I saw you leave the auditorium to get changed I thought I'd finally found someone who understands. But you're right, ink is ink and pee is pee...I get that they're different…"
"Maybe...it's not as different as I made it out to be?" Blue said, wanting to empathize with Lucas but reluctant about admitting to wetting his own pants.
Lucas smiled at him, but then his expression changed as he said, "But at least you don't need bed protection like me…"
Blue thought about that for a moment. He decided he'd have to take drastic measures to make it up to Lucas for hurting his feelings. "Give me one minute," he said, jumping up from the bed and making his way to his locker. He pulled out some clothes and went into the bathroom to change. When he exited the bathroom wearing his pajamas Lucas was staring at him, confused.
Deciding to admit you wear diapers is one thing but now, confronted with Lucas while wearing his protection, Blue was starting to get cold feet. "I…" he stammered out. "You see - I...uh…" he couldn't seem to get the words out. Instead he acted on impulse, he pushed his pajama pants down and raised his shirt, exposing his cloth backed diaper to the blonde boy.
Lucas was shocked for a second, but then let out a laugh and quickly covered his mouth. "I'm sorry," he said between giggles. "I didn't know."
Blue scowled at him as he lowered his shirt. "Yeah, well now we're even," he said. Just then he heard the doorknob turn. He and Lucas looked at each other in horror for a second and Lucas lifted the blanket on his bed. Blue took this lifeline and dove in next to Lucas as Nana and Popo entered the room.
"Hey guys," Lucas said as Blue pressed against him and tried to act like he was casually just watching the 3DS.
"Hey," Nana and Popo said, nearly in unison. "What are you guys playing?" Nana asked as she jumped onto the bed and snuggled up next to Lucas, paying no attention to his crinkling sheets.
Popo smiled at them. If Lucas and Blue were willing to share a blanket on Lucas' bed then surely they'd made up for about what happened earlier. "Come on Nana," he said, not wanting her to disturb them. "Help me hang up these blankets." Nana scooted off the bed and began hanging blankets to cover Popo's bunk.
The situation was too much for Lucas' nerves and he was sweating and shaking as he played his 3DS. He clumsily let the stylus slip out of his hand and onto his body, where it rolled down under his blanket.
Lucas started frantically searching for it. Blue became concerned as Lucas' awkward searching became more reckless and threatened to accidentally lift the blanket and reveal his diaper. "Let me help," he said, dipping his head under Lucas' blanket and looking around. He saw the stylus sitting on Lucas' lap and, in his own haste, didn't give a second thought as he grabbed the stylus and got more than he bargained for. Blue accidentally over reached and took hold of Lucas' crotch and, when he did, he froze.
In Blue's hand he was grasping not just the stylus and the outside of Lucas' PJ's, he was holding what felt like the thick padding of a diaper. Blue stuck his head out from the blanket and whispered, "Are you…?"
"Let go!" Lucas mouthed back, his face beat red and beads of sweat rolling down the side of his head.
"Sorry!" Blue whispered, putting on an apologetic smile and handing Lucas the stylus. He looked up to see Nana and Popo were none the wiser, as usual they were lost in their own thing.
Eventually they finished their fort and Nana and Popo retreated into it. Blue wasted no time and crawled out from under Lucas' sheets. "You totally saved me," he whispered to Lucas as he quickly took his pajama bottoms off the floor and put them on to cover his diaper. Lucas shyly smiled at him and went back to his game.
Blue climbed the ladder to his bunk and crawled into his own bed. From below him, on the bottom bunk, he heard the sounds of tape ripping off and a faint plastic rustling. "You'll have to stop or learn to do this yourself someday," he hard Popo say. Nana giggled.
As Blue laid down for the night he thought about all the humiliations he had suffered since that morning. Still, he found himself unable to focus on anything but the positives. Thanks to wetting his pants he had to reveal he was a bedwetter, which allowed him to meet this group of seemingly friendly kids. In particular, he thought of Lucas. He leaned over the side to see the blonde haired boy was still sitting in his bed and playing his 3DS. It comforted Blue to know he wasn't the only one in diapers tonight and he was happy to have someone to confide in about this problem if he needed to. He laid his head back and started drifting off to sleep.
O-o-o-o-o
The match, the ink, the villains, the giant flaming logo. Blue had had this dream before and, subconsciously, he knew he was bound to wake up with an inked diaper. But this time, as he faced the giant flaming target, he looked around him and saw he had allies. Organe, Lucas, Pit, Ness, Toon Link, Nana, Popo, Palutena, Mario, and Isabelle were standing right beside him, ready to fight whatever came next. He swallowed his fear and braced himself for battle.
Blue awoke, not with a start as he usually did after the dream, but rather gently. It was still kind of dark out but soft rays of morning light peaked through the curtains and illuminated his cabin.
Beside him, in the next bunk over, Toon Link was snoring and sprawled out over his bed. Below Toon Link was Lucas, who was resting peacefully under his covers. Blue reckoned it was the first time he had seen Lucas not being a nervous wreck. On the ground level, between the bunks, Pit was sleeping on his twin bed. Blue gave a sly smile as he looked down at the young angel, curled up in a ball and sucking his thumb.
Pit's childish behaviour reminded him of his own burden, however. He reached down and felt his diaper, wet as ever. Blue gave a sigh and briefly considered getting up and changing into a new one but he decided against it, his bed was too comfortable. And besides, he wouldn't want to risk waking his new friends before the big day. Instead he drifted back to sleep, comforted by knowing that even if he had nightmares he'd wake up amongst friends who would protect him.

Authors Note: Thanks for reading the first arc of Super Smash Brothers: Bedwetters Cabin! For now, that concludes the story of Blue. I plan to keep writing in this universe, though, and I'm going to try and write a story about every child character in Smash Brothers (and maybe others fighters as well?) The next story will be about one of the Links and it will not be posted as Super Smash Brothers: Bedwetters Cabin. I'm going to upload it as it's own story with a new name to help people find the character they're interested in more efficiently. I'll do this for most of the arcs I write in this universe. That said, I do plan to do more focusing on the "bedwetters cabin" and when I do I'll update this story and direct everyone to the other arcs. If you want to read them as soon as they come out, though, follow me for updates! I have a lot of good stuff planned.
