After a long time in the shower, Tails finally finished cleaning off the aftermath of his messy incident, although he doubted that he would be able to forget about it anytime soon. His damp fur had returned to its usual golden yellow hue, and Sonic had already taken care of his stained clothing.
As the yellow fox started to dry himself off for the second time that morning, Sonic came up behind him and started to dry Tails' back with a second towel, nearly causing the poor fox to jump out of his skin.
"S-Sonic!" he yelped, turning around to face the blue hedgehog. "You really don't need to do that, I can take care of things from here."
"It's fine," Sonic said with a grin. "I don't mind, especially after what you've been through." Tails blushed deeply at the memory, and reassured Sonic that he was perfectly fine drying off. The hedgehog left the bathroom, leaving Tails to pick up his fur dryer and get to work.
A few minutes later, Tails turned off the dryer, slipped on a bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom, surprised to see that the floor in the hallway was already spotless. He looked around to see if he could find Sonic, and finally located the hedgehog waiting for him outside his bedroom.
“How did you get the hallway-” Sonic raised one finger to his lips, silencing Tails, before zipping up and down the hall at the speed of sound, creating a gust of wind that played with the fox’s freshly dried fur.
“Were you really just about to ask me how I got something done quickly?” Sonic asked in his trademark cocky tone, eliciting a quiet laugh from Tails. As the fox entered his room to get dressed, he saw that Sonic had laid an outfit out for the fox on his bed. A pale yellow t-shirt, blue shorts, and...
"A- a diaper," Tails muttered, his mind flashing back to Sonic taking the less-than-dignified garment out of his backpack when he had first approached Tails in the hallway after the incident.
"No arguments," Sonic teased, entering the room behind him with a slight little chuckle. "After that accident of yours, I think it's a necessary precaution." Tails opened his mouth indignantly, but quickly realized that his friend might have a point.  He had no idea what had caused his accident, so it might very well happen again. But still, it did seem a bit extreme.
"Besides," Sonic said as he walked into the room and turned to face Tails. "You wouldn't be the only one." As he said that, he lifted the hem of his shirt to reveal a matching diaper sticking up out of the waistband of his gym shorts, making sure Tails caught a glimpse before letting the shirt fall back down. It was hardly a shock, as Sonic had been wearing diapers for quite some time, but it nevertheless brought another flush to the fox’s face. 
"Fine," Tails sighed, walking forward and picking the diaper up off of the bed. "Now get out of here so I can get dressed." Sonic obliged, and Tails started to put on the diaper, sprinkling some of the baby powder that Sonic had graciously provided before taping the crinkly garment around his waist.  
It was a bit of a tight fit, as the hole in the back hasn't been designed to accommodate multiple tails, but it was decent enough all things considered. He was able to pull his shorts up over the top, but the outline of the padding was clearly visible through them, and the fox found that the thickness forced him to walk with a slight waddle.
Shaking his head slightly, Tails pulled the t-shirt over his head, ran his hands through his fur, and walked back into the hallway to find Sonic casually leaning against the wall. Tails wasn’t quite sure what to say after everything that had happened, so he just awkwardly returned Sonic’s stare until the hedgehog broke the silence. 
“So, you were working on some new sneakers for me to try?” he questioned, reminding Tails of the reason why he had invited Sonic over in the first place. 
“Oh, yeah! Right!” the fox replied hurriedly, excited to talk about something other than diapers and accidents. “I just need to finish threading the laces, and then you can let me know what you think!” He took off down the hall to his workshop, putting a smile on Sonic’s face as he followed suit. 
Sonic walked into the room to find Tails already bent over the workbench, inserting the shoelaces into the automated mechanism. The hedgehog’s eyes didn’t stay on the shoes very long, with his gaze quickly drifting farther down. The way that Tails was positioned as he worked made the diaper bulge in his shorts far more prominent than it had been, and the sight of it seemed to awaken something in the hedgehog. 
He quickly made his way over to Tails, leaning over his shoulder to look at the shoes, slowly but deliberately pressing his diapered front up against the fox’s padded rear.
“So, am I gonna have to do this every time I wanna wear these things?” Sonic asked, gesturing at Tails’ nimble fingers threading the laces through all the necessary mechanical bits and bobs. 
“Ah!” Tails squeaked, nearly dropping the sneaker in his surprise before attempting to regain his composure. “U-um, no, Sonic, once the laces are in, they should be able to tie and untie themselves. Well, at least until they start to wear out, that is.” Tails fervently hoped that his friend couldn’t tell just how deep a shade of red his face was turning. 
“Way past cool!” Sonic said enthusiastically, ruffling the fur on the top of the fox’s head. “Can’t wait to try them on!” He finally took a step back, giving Tails space to finish his work while he checked his phone. Out of habit, he found himself checking the view count of his “incident,” which he still hadn’t managed to persuade Knuckles to delete. “How is it already into the millions?” he quietly muttered to himself, shaking his head before closing the app.
An enthusiastic “aaaand here they are!” from Tails jolted Sonic out of his brief pity party, and he looked up to see the yellow fox holding the sneakers out towards him.
“Alright,” he replied with a grin. “Let’s see these things in action!” He grabbed the sneakers from Tails, before sitting down in a nearby chair. Slipping his feet into the sneakers was easy enough, and after Tails instructed him on which button to push, the hedgehog watched in amazement as the laces pulled tighter, resulting in a snug comfortable fit. 
“So, what do you think?” Tails asked, watching anxiously as Sonic flexed his feet, and started jogging in place to get a sense for how the sneakers moved. Instead of answering, Sonic disappeared in a blue flash, out the door, around the house, and finally back into the workshop, coming to a sudden stop right in front of Tails.
“They feel great!” Sonic said, leaning in and pulling the fox into a hug. 
“I’m glad to hear it,” Tails replied, once again flustered at the sensation of Sonic’s diaper pressing up against his own. “Do you want to wear them around for a few days, and let me know if there’s any problems?”
Sonic nodded, looking deep into Tails’ eyes as he allowed his hands to start slowly moving down his friend’s back. “Yeah, I can do that,” he said softly. The intense eye contact, and the sensation of the hedgehog’s wandering hands, had Tails feeling incredibly flustered, to the point where he doubted whether it was possible for his face to get any redder. 
“I really appreciate you taking the time to make these for me,” Sonic said, holding his left hand firmly on Tails’ lower back while his right inched closer and closer to the waistband of the fox’s shorts. 
“I-it was nothing, really,” Tails stuttered, causing Sonic’s smile to grow wider. “That’s what f-friends are for!” He flinched slightly at the distinctive crinkling sound which indicated that Sonic had made contact with the exposed portion of his diaper, but he didn’t do anything to stop the hedgehog’s hand from slipping into the back of his shorts, cupping and lightly squeezing his padded rump.
“Friends?” Sonic questioned gently, almost as if he was testing out the word to see how it felt. When Tails didn’t respond, Sonic began to lean in, his face growing closer and closer to the fox, until the tips of their noses touched. Tails closed his eyes, lost in the sensation of Sonic’s hands on his body, of Sonic’s diaper rubbing against his own as the hedgehog slowly moved his hips, of Sonic’s hot breath on his face.
He stood frozen in that moment, silent, as though afraid that doing or saying anything might cause it to end. After what felt like an eternity, he opened his eyes, finally returning Sonic’s gaze. 
“Friends,” he repeated in a soft, breathy voice, suddenly realizing that the word didn’t sound quite right to him either. Now it was Sonic’s turn to freeze, desperately waiting to hear what was coming next. “Friends,” Tails spoke one final time, so quiet that it was almost imperceptible. 
Sonic couldn’t wait any longer, his sudden anxiety giving way to a different feeling, something deep and fiery within his heart. “Boyfriends?” he questioned, raising one eyebrow as he pulled Tails’ body closer to his own in what might have been an involuntary reaction. Tails didn’t respond with a word, but an action, pulling Sonic even closer to him in turn, tilting his head, and finally bridging the gap between their mouths.
In that one instant, everything changed. All of the fear, the uncertainty, and hesitation completely burned away. Not a trace of caution remained as Sonic roughly squeezed Tails’ diapered ass, refusing to allow for any space between their bodies, and before Tails even realized it, his hands found their way under Sonic’s clothes too, feeling his back, his chest, his diaper. 
Sonic quickly took charge, slipping his tongue into Tails’ mouth as he lifted the fox up off the ground and set him down on the workbench without breaking the kiss for a second, with his lover responding by wrapping his legs around his waist in a vice-like grip. After a while, despite their wishes, the pair needed to come up for air. Their faces finally separated, a thin string of saliva temporarily connecting their mouths.
Between deep, gasping breaths, Sonic managed to ask a question. “Do you…wanna…take this…somewhere more…comfortable?” Still too out of breath to answer, Tails simply nodded, and Sonic once again lifted the fox in his arms. He started walking slowly down the hallway to Tails’ bedroom, when they were both stopped in their tracks by a rumbling in Tails’ stomach.
“Not again,” the fox groaned, the sudden and sharp sensation sending him right back to the incident earlier that morning/ “Put me down, Sonic.” Sonic chose to ignore the request, leaning back against the wall as he pulled Tails in for another kiss, still holding the fox in his arms. A moment later, accompanied by a soft grunt from Tails, the hedgehog could clearly feel as a growing bulge in Tails’ diaper seat started pushing back against his cupping hand, the fox’s eyes watering in embarrassment as he broke the kiss and buried his face in Sonic’s neck.
In response, Sonic kissed the top of Tails’ head, whispered “it’s okay, my love,” and resumed his journey down the hall. Upon arriving in Tails’ room, Sonic laid the whimpering fox down on the bed, causing the bulge in his diaper to squish against the fox’s behind. Sonic placed one elbow and one knee on either side of the fox, lowering himself down to plant a kiss on the tip of Tails’ nose. 
“I can’t believe it happened again,” the fox whined, ashamed to look Sonic in the eyes once more despite the hedgehog repeatedly reassuring him that it was okay. It wasn’t long, however, until the blue blur came up with a simple solution. He balanced his upper body on one hand and used the other to stroke Tails’ face, making eye contact with his love once again. 
Then, Sonic grunted softly, letting out a fart as he pushed a load into the back of his own diaper, never looking away from Tails’ puzzled face. 
“There, now we’re even,” Sonic grinned, wiggling his padded rump seductively. The situation was so absurd that Tails began to chuckle, and after another moment he wrapped his legs around the hedgehog once more, pulling him into a quick kiss.
“You’re an idiot, Sonic,” he laughed, “but I guess you’re my idiot. Thanks, for everything.” Sonic began laughing as well, a devious look in his eye.
“Don’t thank me too soon, Tails,” he smirked, before leaning down to whisper seductively in the fox’s ear.
“You’re on diaper duty this time.”
