Chapter Text
Liam and Zayn were in a relationship. Harry and Louis were also in a relationship. Leaving Niall all by himself.
The five of them were still close. Obviously.. they tour together on the same bus.
Recently Niall has been really unpleasant to the boys. He smarts off to them, criticizes everything they do. Not only that, but something must have been bothering him because he wasn't eating as much and was not getting enough sleep.
Liam and Zayn took a real notice to these problems. They were worried about Niall.
One day, they had an off day. Louis, Harry, Liam and Zayn just stayed on the bus and decided to take things easy. Niall, on the other hand, decided to go out and party.
"We need to do something about Niall," Liam exclaimed. "There's too much going on with him, he just needs some looking after."
"What are you suggesting?" Louis asked.
Liam shrugged, "I've done a little bit of research, I'm thinking age play."
"Doesn't that involve nappies and dummies and all of that sort of stuff?" Zayn asked.
Liam nodded, "I think it'll be good for him."
"I doubt you can convince him to do it," Harry interjected.
"Haz is right, you're pretty much going to have to force him into it if you really want to do it," Louis replied.
"Would you be willing to do it?" Liam asked Zayn.
The raven haired boy nodded, "I'm with you on anything you want to do."
"What about you two?" Liam asked Harry and Louis.
The two of them shared a look, "We'll help, but don't hold us accountable for much of the work."
So that was it. Liam and Zayn were going to go out and get some supplies to have by the time Niall got back.
Sure enough, by the time Niall got back, he was drunk. He was so loud when he got on the bus, waking up everyone. This only made everyone else upset and worked up.
"Niall, can you come here for a minute?" Liam asked.
"What the hell do you want?" Niall retorted as he walked to the back of the bus where Liam was.
"Sit down, please," Liam instructed. The blonde haired boy rolled his eyes but did what Liam asked of him.
"This is for your own good," Liam added. Niall was confused. He was pushed back onto the bed and was stripped from his clothing. The blonde haired boy tried to fight but he couldn't. Zayn had a strong grip on him and Liam was quick at undressing him.
Before he knew it, there was a nappy taped to his waist and a chain on the outside of it. Liam and Zayn backed up a bit to see his reaction. Niall was livid, even more upset than he already was.
"What the fuck?" Niall remarked. "Why the fuck would you put me in a nappy?"
"Niall, baby, calm down," Zayn replied calmly.
"Don't tell me to calm down, answer me!" Niall demanded.
"Calm down and we'll explain," Liam interjected.
The blonde didn't calm down much, but instead he sat there quietly so he could hear their explanation.
"You've been very bad recently, not to mention you haven't taken very good care of yourself recently. Zayn and I are just here to help you," Liam explained.
"I don't need your help and I damn sure don't need this nappy," Niall retorted.
"I'll be right back with his bottle," Zayn said softly before walking to the front of the bus.
"Seriously, Li. Get this damn thing off of me," Niall remarked.
"It's not going to happen, That nappy will stay on you until it is wet or messy, then I'll change you into a new one. Niall, this is for your own good, I wish you weren't making things so difficult," Liam replied.
The blonde haired boy just rolled his eyes. Zayn came back not too long after. He held a bottle full of warm milk in it. The raven haired boy crawled in the bed and pulled Niall onto his lap. The blonde haired boy tried to fight him but he couldn't. Eventually, Niall was too exhausted to fight anymore.
Zayn tried to put the bottle between Niall's lips but Niall kept his lips pressed tight together. The raven haired boy didn't give up though, he pressed the sides of Niall's cheeks, causing the boy to open his mouth just enough for Zayn to get the nipple of the bottle in.
Niall didn't drink from the bottle, he just left the nipple inbetween his lips. Zayn squeezed on the bottle and the milk slowly squirted into the younger boy's mouth. Niall whimpered, he didn't want any of this.
"Niall," Liam cooed as he sat next to Zayn on the bed. "Come on love, it's okay."
The blonde haired boy still wasn't having any of it. Hoping that Liam and Zayn would just give up but they weren't going to. Not anytime soon at least.
After about 20 minutes of fighting, Niall gave up. He started to drink from the bottle that had been held against his lips for a while. The warm liquid ran down his throat. He would never admit it, but it tasted really good.
After having not only the bottle but several alcoholic drinks, Niall was finding it harder and harder to stay awake. As he drank from his bottle, he could hardly keep his eyes open.
"Go to sleep, love," Zayn cooed.
"We love you so much," Liam added.
Not long after Niall was out like a light. Zayn carefully switched out the bottle for a dummy and the blonde haired boy sucked on it instinctively.
"That was a lot more of a struggle than I thought," Zayn remarked.
--------------------
Harry, Liam, Louis and Zayn were all up before Niall. All four of them were nervous and anxious to see how the blonde haired boy would react when he woke up.
After a while, Liam got impatient and decided to check up on him. To his surprise, the blonde haired boy was awake and trying to figure out how to take off the nappy. The dummy was on the bed next to him and he looked like he could burst into tears at any moment.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Liam cooed.
"I hate this and I hate you!" Niall screamed out. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"
Liam's eyes started to tear up. Niall had been so serious when he said that he hated him. Deep down Liam knew it wasn't true, but he couldn't help but wonder.
Zayn entered the room and started to comfort Liam. He kept telling him that Niall didn't mean it.
The blonde haired boy imediately felt bad, but wasn't going to let up. He wanted them to know how serious he was about getting out of the nappies.
Liam wiped away the few tears he had and turned to face Niall. "Are you going to behave or do you want to sit in that wet nappy for a little while longer?" Liam asked.
"No!" Niall screamed at him.
"Fine," was all Liam said. He picked up the blonde haired boy and carried him to the front of the bus. A highchair was set up for him and he was placed in it. Niall tried to fight, but Liam was stronger than he was. He was buckled into place and the tray of the highchair was locked.
Zayn just let Liam take care of Niall. He was willing to help, but knew that Liam wanted to do this part on his own.
Liam prepared a bowl of oatmeal for Niall. He poured a sippy cup full of orange juice then sat down in front of the highchair. Niall just sat in the chair with his arms crossed.
"Open up!" Liam cooed as he brought a spoonful of oatmeal to Niall's face. The blonde kept his lips pressed shut. This was taking a lot of self control for him, oatmeal was Niall's favorite food.
"Boys, can you give me and Niall a minute?" Liam asked nicely.
"Course," Louis replied. The three of them got up and went to the back of the bus so Liam and Niall could have some space.
"Niall, I am asking you very nicely, please cooperate with me. I am not doing this for any other reason than to help you. You may not agree with me, but I know this will help you. So please, stop fighting it and just trust me. When have I ever done anything to you out of spite?" Liam asked. Niall shrugged.
"Never. I want nothing but the best for you and Louis and Harry and Zayn. If any of them were in your shoes, I would be doing the same thing to them. I just ask that you behave for me and things will go a lot better for you," Liam added.
"Don't want you to feed me," Niall said softly.
"Speak up, love," Liam replied, not understanding what the boy had said.
"I don't want you to feed me, I want to do some stuff on my own. Seeing as everything else is being taken away from me," Niall remarked.
"I'll feed you until you lose the attitude. When you start being more respectful, I'll let you feed yourself."
Niall huffed.
"Boys, you can come back out here," Liam exclaimed. The three of them went back to doing what they were doing in the front of the bus, not paying much attention to Niall.
Liam gave Niall a look then went back to trying to feed him. This time when he brought the spoon to Niall's face, the blonde haired boy actually ate it. Liam smiled a little then continued to feed him.
"That's it, baby. Just a few more bites," Liam cooed. Niall blushed, he had been embarrassed this whole time. He crossed his arms and continued to eat until everything in the bowl was done.
"Good job, love," Liam cooed. "Now let's get you out of that wet nappy, maybe that will put you in a better mood."
Liam unbuckled Niall from the highchair and brought him back to the back of the bus. He laid him out on the bed. Niall just laid there, he didn't try to go anywhere because he knew that having a new nappy on would be better than sitting in that wet one any longer.
The older boy quickly changed him, not trying to embarrass the boy too much. He taped a new nappy onto the boy's waist and locked the chain back in place. Niall laid there with his arms crossed but not saying anything.
Liam dressed the boy in some sweatpants and a t-shirt. This made Niall feel a little bit better, knowing that he didn't have to walk around in just his nappy.
"Can I go now?" Niall asked, with a hint of attitude.
"Yes, but no where by yourself. You have to have either me, Louis, Harry or Zayn with you. Don't want you getting into trouble," Liam replied.
Niall sighed then went to the front of the bus. He was still not happy with any of this.
"Niall, come here, baby," Zayn remarked with his arms held open. Niall and Zayn used to cuddle all of the time. The blonde haired boy loved cuddling with Zayn. However, that stopped when Zayn and Liam started dating.
The younger boy hesitantly crawled into Zayn's lap. Zayn wrapped his arms around the smaller boy's body.
"I see you got your nappy changed, don't you feel much better?" Zayn asked quietly. Niall shyly nodded.
The blonde haired boy hid his face in the crook of Zayn's neck. He held the front of the older boy's shirt and breathed in Zayn's scent. All four of the boys smelled so good to Niall. Each of them had their own trademark scent.
"Harry and I are going to go shopping for a bit, text us if you need anything!" Louis remarked. Zayn just nodded and Louis and Harry left.
Zayn had sat there quietly cuddling Niall while Liam picked up from breakfast. Liam walked over to the two of them a few moments later.
"I'm going to go rinse off in the shower," Liam remarked. He presesd a kiss onto Zayn's lips and the crown of Niall's head.
Zayn watched as Liam walked away and far enough to where he couldn't hear what Zayn was about to say.
"Niall, baby.. we need to have a serious talk," Zayn exclaimed. Niall lifted his head to look the older boy in the eyes while they had their 'talk'.
"First off.. you will not speak to Liam like that again. Not Liam, or any of us, do you understand?" Zayn began. Niall nodded.
"Second.. I want you to think about what you yelled at Liam this morning. How would you like it if he yelled at you that he hated you?" Niall's eyes began to tear up, "I wouldn't like it."
"I think you should apologize, don't you agree?" Zayn asked and the blonde haired boy quickly nodded.
"Also, we're going to start babying you more. There will be more dummies and toys and other things like that. I don't want you to fight with us with everything we do. We aren't doing this to embarrass you in any way. All I'm asking is that you trust us and let us try something. If this doesn't work within a few weeks, then we'll completely stop it, but you have to let us try," Zayn explained.
Niall nodded, "Okay."
The blonde haired boy cuddled back into Zayn's body. Zayn grabbed the dummy off of the table beside him and put it between Niall's lips. The younger boy gave Zayn a nervous look but sucked on the dummy anyways. Zayn pressed a reassuring kiss onto the boy's forehead.
Liam came back to the front of the bus a few minutes later. Zayn had turned on a movie for Niall. The blonde haired boy was sitting in the playpen that Zayn had set him in staring up at the TV which was playing Toy Story.
The two older boys decided to just leave him be. This was the first time he wasn't fighting them about anything. Liam and Zayn sat at the table that was located a little bit behind Niall and looked at the plans for the next few weeks.
The five boys were currently on tour. They were stuck in New York for one more day before they got a week off, then they would return to the states to finish that part of the tour.
About halfway through the movie, Niall began to move around in the playpen looking for something. Zayn got up and went over to him. He knealt down to be at the same eye level as the younger boy.
"What are you looking for, baby?" Zayn asked. Niall took the dummy out of his mouth, which made a popping noise. "Thirsty," was all he said before he went back to sucking on the dummy. It was taking every bit of self control for Zayn not to coo at Niall. The younger boy was so adorable in that moment.
"I'll go get you something, what do you want?" Zayk asked.
"Juice," Niall said with the dummy still in his mouth. He had the cutest lisp when he talked with it in his mouth.
Zayn got up to make the boy a sippy cup full of juice. Niall immediately went back to watching the movie. It was like he was a kid all over again. He couldn't keep his eyes off of the movie.
The raven haired boy screwed on the lid to the cup and brought it over to Niall. The younger boy took his dummy out with one hand and with the other, he held the sippy cup as he drank from it. As soon as he was done drinking, Niall put the dummy right back in, and vice versa.
After the movie was done, Niall started to stir around in the playpen again. He didn't say anything, instead he just turned to face Liam and Zayn.
"Do you want to play with some of your toys, baby?" Liam asked. Niall shook his head, dummy still inbetween his lips.
"What do you want to do?" Zayn asked.
"Another movie," Niall replied.
"Okay, you can watch one more movie while I make us lunch," Liam added.
Zayn got up and put in Toy Story 2 for Niall. Liam went to the kitchen area and began to make lunch for the three of them.
Lunch didn't take that long to make. Liam made macaroni and cheese, chicken strips and green beans.
"Alright you two, lunch is ready!" Liam called out from the kitchen area. He brought the highchair over to the table where he and Zayn were sitting earlier. Zayn picked Niall up and set him down in the highchair. Niall was strapped into place, even though he did try to protest a little.
"I'm going to let you feed yourself because you've been good since breakfast," Liam remarked as he handed over the fork to Niall.
The three of them ate in mostly silence. They were all so hungry that they were too busy stuffing their faces to chat.
"Niall, eat your green beans, please," Zayn remarked.
"No," Niall replied. Zayn grabbed the fork out of the younger boy's hand.
"I'm going to feed you now, and you're going to eat your vegetables," Zayn added. Niall just nodded, too scared to find out what would happen if he continued to protest.
"Open up!" Zayn remarked as he held the fork with green beans on it to Niall's lips. The blonde haired boy hesitantly opened his mouth. He looked miserable as he chewed on the green beans.
Liam and Zayn didn't feel bad for Niall. They knew that he liked green beans. They didn't know why he was so against them today.
After lunch, Niall was left in his highchair while Zayn and Liam cleaned up. Liam brought a wet rag over to where Niall was and began to wipe down the boy like a parent would after their toddler would feed themselves. Liam wiped down Niall's face and hands.
The blonde haired boy let out a long yawn as Liam wiped down the highchair tray. Liam didn't say anything, he put the rag up then returned to the highchair to get Niall out.
"Baby, why don't we go lay down for a nap?" Liam exclaimed, not much of a question, but rather a statement. Niall shook his head no, "Please, no."
"Yes, you're still sleepy," Liam added. Niall huffed, he knew that Liam was right.
Liam carried the blonde haired boy to the back of the bus. He laid Niall out on the bed. "Do you need to be changed, baby?" Liam asked. Niall shook his head.
"I'll be right back with your milk," Liam added.
"Wait, Li… will you get my dummy?" Niall shyly asked. He was embarrassed to ask, but wanted the dummy.
"Of course, love," Liam replied.
The older boy went to the front of the bus to get the bottle that Zayn had prepared. Liam also went to the playpen to get the dummy.
"His dummy, too?" Zayn asked.
"He asked for it," Liam responded.
Liam walked back to the bedroom where Niall was patiently waiting. He handed over the dummy but kept the bottle. "Do you want me to give you your bottle, or do you want to do it?" Liam asked.
Niall shrugged, deep down wanting Liam to do it, but he didn't want to admit to liking any of this. Liam sat down on the bed then cuddled up with Niall.
"Wait," Niall remarked just before Liam put the bottle in his mouth. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't mean any of those things that I said earlier. I was just worked up and I was taking it out on you and I'm sorry."
"It's alright, love. This is part of the reason why we're doing all of this. Thank you for apologizing though," Liam replied.
Liam brought the bottle up to Niall's mouth and he immediately began to drink from it. He closed his eyes and let the warm liquid run down his throat. Liam ran his fingers through the blonde's hair and hummed softly. Within a matter of minutes, Niall was out like a light.
Liam waited a few minutes to get up. He carefully slipped out of bed taking the bottle with him. Just before leaving, Liam popped Niall's dummy into his mouth. The boy instinctively began to suck on it. Liam took one last look at Niall before quietly leaving the room.
