Hunter and Koda are left home alone for the evening. Much to Hunter's dismay, Koda's in charge. Will he survive Koda's reign of terror? Will there even be a reign of terror?


It drove Hunter crazy that, despite the fact that he was four years older than Koda, his parents treated them practically as twins. They wore the same underoos, they had the same bedtime, and they spent every special event in matching outfits. Perhaps it would not have been so bad if Koda were treated like he was twelve, but instead, Hunter was typically treated like he was eight.

` When Hunter's friend Jake had his birthday party at an amusement park, Hunter could not go because he was at Little Explorers Camp, a camp for seven and eight year olds, enduring three weeks of everyone, camper and counselor alike, asking if he and Koda were twins. Koda was always honest, explaining with a snicker that Hunter was four years older, but the questions kept coming all the same.

Things only got worse one day when his parents were going out for their monthly date night. Hunter and Koda sat on the couch when their mom stepped in, fixing her earring.

"I've been thinking, boys." She said. "Koda's been so helpful today, taking out the trash and all that, I think he'll be in charge while we're gone."

"Yes!" Koda exclaimed.

"What? No!" Hunter moaned. "I'm older!"

"It's not like being in charge even means anything, Hunter. Calm down." The lioness said. "Besides, he's been such a helper today, you might learn something from his example." She leaned down and kissed each of them on the cheek. With that, they left.

"Can't believe this." Hunter muttered sullenly. Koda shrugged sheepishly.

"Well, last time you were in charge, we made a mess of the kitchen."

"But I'm older!"

"Duh!" Koda replied. "You think I don't know that?" He stood up. "But, mom and dad put me in charge, so..." He smiled and crossed his arms in a mock stern fashion. "You gotta do what I say." Hunter rolled his eyes, trying his best to hide his smile. "My first order is" He chuckled. "Play Formula One Racing with me!" Hunter readily agreed.

As the evening wore on, Koda had a few other orders. Get him a drink, put a pizza in the oven, and the like. Well fed and satisfied, they sat side by side on the couch. Koda looked at the time.

"Still a bit until mom and dad get home." He said. "Do I have any other orders for you?" Hunter chuckled. Koda, with a smirk, hurried out of the room. Hunter heard the bathroom door close and shrugged.

"Guess he had to pee." Hunter said. Koda returned with his backpack. "What now? Want me to do your homework?"

"Nope!" Koda said cheerfully. "Drop your pants!" Hunter laughed.

"Very funny."

"I'm serious, Hunter. Take your pants off."

"Why?"

"I'm in charge, remember? You have to do what I say." Sensing that Koda would not explain until he complied, Hunter dropped his pants.

"Don't you think it's a little weird that mom makes us match our undies?" Koda admitted, eyeing Hunter's Scooby underoos.

"Yeah." Hunter agreed immediately. Just the night before, they had been given Cars underoos to put on to go see Cars 3, as if having Lightning McQueen on their butts made them enjoy the movie more. "Of course, there are ways to tell the difference." Koda said with a smirk. Hunter blushed and remembered a conversation he had had with his mom just a week before as she was doing laundry. "Why can't I get some more mature underwear?" Hunter asked. "It's just easier to do it this way." His mom replied

"But how can you tell whose is whose if Koda and I wear the exact same underwear?" His mom held up two pairs that seemed identical in every way to Hunter.

"Easy. These are Koda's." She held up the pair in her right hand. "And these are yours." "Prove it." Hunter said defiantly. His mom smiled and turned each pair inside out. Hunter's ears flattened.

"The pair without stains is Koda's. And, well, this one's yours."

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Hunter finished stepped out of his pants. "So, um. Why am I doing this?" Koda dug into his backpack.

"Well," he could hardly get a word out with how delighted he was as he looked for something in there. "Since I'm the one in charge," He giggled. "I'm kind of like a babysitter, so" He gasped in excitement as he found what he was looking for. "That makes you the baby!" He pulled out a white diaper with Winnie the Pooh on the front. Hunter's eyes widened as he realized both what it was and that it was just his size.

"Ha ha, very funny!" Hunter said. "Where'd you even get one that size?"

"Cayden's brother wears them. He apparently really likes Winnie the Pooh." Koda shrugged. "He's about your size."

"But what" Hunter stammered. "You can't be serious."

"I am." Koda replied. "C'mon. It'll be funny. My big brother in a baby diaper like a little kitten, his puffy diaper pressing up against his kitten thighs."

"That's not really persuading me." Hunter said. He moved around Koda, planning to go hide somewhere.

"Maybe this will." Koda called after him. "Rhubarb!" Hunter turned to ask him what that was supposed to mean, but he fell down and landed on his bottom.

"Owie!" He whined. Koda hurried over.

"That looked like it hurt!" Koda said with concern. "If you're going to make a habit of that, maybe we should get you into something with more protection." Hunter nodded, eyeing the diaper eagerly. He had no idea why he was doing it, but he lay on his back and allowed Koda to remove his Scooby-Doo underoos. "Hmm. Guess you have been the little brother all along." Koda said, giving his brother's penis a flick. Hunter blushed, but he had more important things to worry about.

"What's going on, Koda?"

"I'm diapering you." Koda said, slipping it under his butt and taking a moment to examine the lion's butt. "Hold that thought." He stood up and hurried out of the room. Hunter kept his legs up in the air, patiently waiting. It took him a moment to question why he was just keeping his lower half up in the air, but by that time, Koda had returned with some toilet paper. Without a word, he kneeled back down and wiped Hunter's butt. Hunter hissed and his ears flattened in embarrassment as he realized that he had just hissed at Koda like an annoyed kitten. "And it looks like it's about time too." Koda said as he showed Hunter the soiled toilet paper. "I think that speaks for itself." Hunter looked away bashfully. It worried him that that was all he did rather than getting up and fighting Koda.

"Why am I just going along with this?" Hunter mumbled. Koda shrugged.

"I downloaded an app that allows me to hypnotize you to do whatever I want. Once I said rhubarb, it kicked in." He said matter-of-factly.

"And what did you hypnotize me to do?" Hunter asked nervously as Koda taped the diaper around his waist.

"Well," Koda said as he inspected Hunter's diaper for potential links. "You feel subconsciously that you belong in diapers." Hunter looked away as he realized just how right Koda was and just how right the diaper felt. "Oh, and this." Hunter watched with confusion as Koda turned on the TV. Koda quickly pulled up a Youtube playlist. Hunter's ears twitched as a familiar song came on. Clambering to his feet as if he had always worn a diaper, he burst into song and an impromptu dance.

"Barney is a dinosaur!" He sang, shaking his crinkly butt to and fro. Koda smirked and left the playlist on. With each baby song that came on, Hunter seemed to know every word and danced happily. Koda left him to it, confident Hunter would not be able to escape. He went into the kitchen to prepare his next surprise.

Hunter kept singing and dancing, but he wished he could stop. His mind told him he loved each and every song, but his mind also told him that no self-respecting twelve year old should be doing this! He had a few wisps of big boy hair down there and the beginning of a mane, for goodness sake!

"All the little duckies go upside down, upside down, upside down" Hunter sang, his head down on the floor near his legs. He felt like a giant toddler and he was sure that that was exactly how he looked. "All the little duckies go upside down as they dabble at the bottom of the pond!" He could not reconcile his conflicted feelings, try as he might.

When Koda returned, he paused the playlist, freeing Hunter. He smiled at how Hunter simply stood there in his t-shirt and diaper without a care in the world. He showed him what he had made in the kitchen.

"What's this?" Koda asked, curious to see how his brother would respond.

"A bottle." Hunter said with a mixture of annoyance and delight. Koda giggled.

"I figured you worked up a thirst during your dance party. And look! You used the diaper you claimed you didn't want."

"Ew!" Hunter whined. His diaper was, just as Koda said, used. Hunter could feel himself dribbling in it even then, as if he had never been potty trained. "What did you do, Koda?"

"What did you do?" Koda replied. "Or, what's that smell?" Hunter groaned as he became aware of the mushy lump in the back of his diaper.

"This is so gross!" Hunter whined

"You'll get a change. After your bottle." Koda sat down on the couch and patted his lap. Almost instinctually, Hunter came over and lay down, his head in Koda's lap. Koda gingerly maneuvered the nipple into Hunter's mouth and Hunter began to suck. Koda checked the time and smiled.

Hunter sucked on the bottle, glad to find that the milk inside seemed pure and there was nothing else mixed in. His mind reminded him that lions who were nearly thirteen did not usually nurse on their little brother's lap, but his mind was also rapturous about what was going on. As he grunted softly, Hunter hoped that Koda would reverse this hypnosis thing soon. The sound of the front door opening made him jump, but he could not get up with the bottle still in his mouth. He nursed and watched his parents wake in on the strange scene.

They stood there, mouths open in shock, as they watched Hunter nurse on the bottle, his head in Koda's lap. He knew that there was no way to hide his diaper or how used it was. Part of him did not want to.

"Home so soon?" Koda asked, the slightest air of uneasiness in his voice. He still made no effort to remove the bottle from Hunter's mouth.

"Well, this is unexpected." Their dad said with a look of amusement, recovering rather quickly. Mom leaned in and whispered something to him. He smiled and nodded.

"We both think it's adorable. You really took charge tonight, Koda." Hunter blushed and tried to talk, but the bottle still had about half its contents and Koda did not seem at all willing to let him sit up. With practiced skill, his dad picked Hunter up off of Koda's lap and cradled the twelve year old in his arms, the bottle still in his mouth.

"You've proven that Hunter's just meant to be the little brother." He rumbled. He patted Hunter's diapered rump. "Or should I say, the baby." He shushed Hunter's whimpers, lifting the bottle to make the milk flow faster.

"We'll have to get some more diapers though, because I think we're going to keep him this way for a while."

"I've got another one in my bag." Koda said, enthusiastically grabbing it. "He's pretty messy." Hunter found himself on the living room floor for the second time. The bottle remained in his mouth, his dad smiling down at him as his mom opened the diaper and cleaned him up once Koda fetched a roll of toilet paper. To the mature part of his mind, it reminded him of a pit stop. To the baby part, he knew that his whole family was working together to change his stinky diaper.

"Imma stinky baby." He mumbled into the nipple of the bottle, too softly for the family to hear over the sounds of an efficient diaper change. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted his discarded underoos. He wished that he would be put in those, but he felt something under his butt that the baby part of his mind gleefully informed him was a fresh diaper. The moment his mom taped the diaper around his waist, his dad sat him up and set him against his shoulder, rubbing his back until he burped. He remained there for a moment, trying to get control of himself.

"Alright, Koda and I will run to the store and get some more diapers for Hunter." He heard his dad say.

"Sounds good. Get some powder and wipes too. I want to give the baby a proper change next time." His mom said. She pulled Hunter away from his dad. "C'mon, baby. You've had an exciting night. Let's get you into bed." Hunter whimpered and walked along with his mom, looking back at Koda, who winked at him. He felt proud of his handiwork.
