Tomo and Misuzu were sitting in their classroom during lunch break, eating their homemade lunches. Tomo was munching on a sandwich, while Misuzu was slowly picking at her rice. The two of them had always been complete opposites in terms of personality and style.
Tomo was a red haired tomboy who loved sports and was always up for some action, while Misuzu was a gloomy girl who seemed unapproachable and rarely smiled.
As of late the girls were often talking about Tomo's crush on her childhood friend Jun. Misuzu looked at Tomo and sighed, "Tomo, have you ever thought about being more girly? You might have a better chance with Jun if you weren't such a tomboy all the time."
Tomo raised an eyebrow, "More...girly? I am already a girl, aren't I." She had her hands behind the back of her head and her legs on the table. Her short skirt did little to hide her spats.
Misuzu shook her head, "Look, I might not be the best teacher when it comes to charm, but I can tell you that the way you are holding yourself right now, won't give anyone the idea that you are a girl. Why don't you try to be a little more feminine, like Carol?"
Tomo looked over at Carol, who was standing not that far away from them, smiling and waving at everyone who passed by. Carol was a cute blonde airhead who always had a smile on her face, and Tomo couldn't help but like her.
"I don't think I could ever be like Carol," Tomo said, "She's too perfect. But I do like her."
Misuzu nodded, "Exactly. You could learn a thing or two from her. Look at the way she dresses, and how she always has a smile on her face. That's what guys like, you know."
Tomo sighed, "I get it. But it's hard, alright? I don't know if I could do that. I like my clothes. Also...smiling? I do that all the time. See?" Tomo smiled at her friend, "There has to be other things I can change."
Misuzu shrugged, "Suit yourself. But if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me."
While the two of them were talking, Carol's expression suddenly changed. She seemed to be in discomfort and was holding her stomach. Closing her eyes, she puffed out her cheeks in a cute manner, before eventually letting out a relieved sigh.
Tomo being done talking to Misuzu was thinking about what she had said. "Being more like Carol, huh?" as she noticed the blonde doing something strange. "Hey, Carol, are you okay?"
Carol nodded, her smile quickly appearing on her face again, "Uh-huh. I think I need to go change my diaper." She skipped out of the room, not even leaving Tomo enough time to realize what her friend had just admitted to her. "Wait, did she just say diaper?", Tomo thought.
She looked over at Misuzu, to see if she had just heard this as well, but her gloomy friend seemed to be more interested in her food than what had just transpired in front of them. Tomo felt a weird feeling in her stomach. Was this what she meant? But there was so mich she didn't understand yet. She had to follow Carol.
Without hesitation, the redhead left the room and headed after Carol. She finally found her, when she saw the blonde enter a bathroom at the end of the hall. Quickly slipping into the room, she saw as Carol knelt down on the floor, unpacking sevral items. Their eyes met and Tomo didn't know where to start. "Hey...you...you just said...you wear...diapers?"
Carol nodded, as if this was the most normal thing in the world, "Yeah. I wear them because I can't make it to the bathroom in time. I always forget I had to go there and then it's too late. It's a bit embarrassing, but it's better than having an accident in public." The fact that both of them were currently in a bathroom seemed to be going over their heads.
Tomo couldn't help but feel a little bit impressed. Was this what it meant being a girl? Thinking practical and doing what needed to be done? Even if it might be a bit embarrassing? She could see some value in that. "Whoa, that's rad. You're so brave, Carol. I could never do that."
Carol smiled, "Thanks, Tomo. It's not that big of a deal, really. I just have to be careful and change my diaper every now and then. Some people might laugh every now and then. But I just tell them about why I do it and hope for the best."
Tomo put her hand on Carol's shoulder, feeling a burning passion in her chest, "Don't listen to them, Carol. You're perfect just the way you are. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can deal with me."
Carol smiled, even though she didn't think she needed the help, she did appreciate the offer, "Thanks, Tomo. You're the best."
Tomo meanwhile had meanwhile started to think about something. Her eyes wandered over to the package of diapers next to Carol, "Hey, Carol, can I ask you something?"
Carol tilted her head, "Sure, what is it?"
Tomo hesitated for a moment before blurting out, "Can I wear a diaper too?"
Carol's tilted her head to the side, "Why would you want to do that?"
Tomo shrugged, "I don't know. You wear them, and Misuzu said I should try to be more girly. So maybe wearing a diaper would make me more girly?"
Carol blinked a few times, trying to understand Tomo's logic, but ultimately decided to go along with it. "Sure, I can help you put one on if you want."
Tomo grinned, "Thank you, Carol. I owe you one."
Carol then motioned for the tomboy to lie down on the ground and began to show her how to put on a diaper, explaining the process step by step. Pulling down her spats and panties the blonde went to work. Tomo was surprised at how calm Carol was. It wasn't everyday that you would get to see your classmate naked from the waist down, but Carol didn't seem to be bothered by that and explained the whole process carefully as she put a diaper on Tomo.
With the diaper now snugly in place, Tomo felt an oddly comfortable feeling between her legs. She could hear the diaper crinkle every time she moved, the smell of baby powder was in the air and it was all in all just really cozy.
Afterwards, Carol remembered that she needed a diaper change herself. "Oh right, I almost forgot.", she said before lying down herself. She grabbed a fresh diaper and placed it next to herself, before attempting to remove the tapes on her soiled one.
But before she could do that Tomo offered to help her, feeling proud of her newfound diaper knowledge. "I mean, you just showed me how to do it, so...wouldn't it a good idea to return your kindness and...see what I've learned?"
Carol looked like she was thinking for a bit, before nodding. "That's a great idea.", she said, pulling up her skirt to show Tomo her messy diaper.
The tomboy took a deep breath before she went to work. First were the tapes, then she had to pull down the front and... As she was changing Carol's diaper, Tomo couldn't help but notice the mess inside. It covered Carol's private parts and seemed far from girly. The smell was also not very pleasant. Then again Tomo wasn't one to decide what was girly or not. She trusted i
what Misuzu had told her. She couldn't help but feel admiration for Carol for putting up with something like this every single day.
After the diaper change, Carol smiled and said, "You're a natural at this, Tomo. You'd make a great mother someday."
Tomo blushed, feeling both proud and embarrassed at the same time. She had never thought about being a mother before, but that was a feminine quality, was it not?
As they left the bathroom, Tomo couldn't help but feel a newfound sense of confidence. She had learned something new and had connected with Carol in a way she never thought possible. And even though wearing a diaper might not be something she ever would've considered doing on her own, she was grateful that Carol was willing to introduce her to this new world.
From that day on, Tomo continued to wear diapers, believing that it made her more girly. But she also knew that this was only the start. There was a whole bunch of things she still had to learn. For example, she wasn't sure if she could just let go when she had to. And she was a bit afraid of that moment coming in the future, but right now she was filled with determination to tackle this new life of hers head on.
