north star boys oneshots

sebby // homesick & overworked

The past week had been extremely tough on all the boys; they were filming loads of tiktoks and were even filming youtube videos twice a day at times to ensure that they had enough content to post on their channels. Of course, they loved filming, but it was draining.

Sebastian, particularly, had become quite drained throughout that week. He seemed to be more exhausted now and slept in longer unintentionally. During this morning's 9 AM meeting, Sebastian didn't wake up on time, like he normally did. In fact, he didn't wake up at all and wouldn't have if it were for Ryan who was sent to go fetch him.

At the meeting, Sebastian plopped onto the sofa, seating himself beside his brother Oliver who was explaining the plan of the day, with Manager Ty's comments ever once in a while. But the more they spoke, the more Sebastian felt like curling away from the world and escape his reality. He just couldn't deal with this workload. He needed a break, he needed to rest. And he missed his family more than ever this past week. He wanted to see his mother and Mateo. He missed them so much.

"Seb, come on!" Manager Ty clapped his hands in front of Sebastian's face, forcing him to suddenly snap back to reality. "What's up with you?"

"Oh, nothing, I'm okay." Sebastian replied as he got up and followed the boys to the kitchen where Darren and Regie were preparing breakfast.

The boys all sat on the table as Regie placed the eggs onto the table while Oliver passed the plates around for everyone to take. Sebastian stared at his plate then at the eggs. He didn't feel like eating them. For some reason he felt sick to his stomach.

"Are you not gonna eat bruh?" Regie asked Sebastian who fiddled with his fork.

"I'm not really hun-"

Sebastian was cut off by Regie who forcefully grabbed his plate to give him some eggs. "Here."

"Thanks." Sebastian muttered and started to eat. Turns out he was slightly hungry.

Throughout the day, Sebastian did practically nothing; only posting a photo onto his Instagram story. He hoped that lazying around would reenergise him, but he seems to be false. He's still tired and still misses his family. 

Sebastian found himself scrolling through his camera roll of photos with him and his family. Oh how he missed Mateo. He missed living in Florida. Everything in L.A is hectic and chaotic. It's always crowded and overwhelming. 

After the boys were done eating their dinner, which Sebastian only left his room to eat, he wandered into Oliver's bedroom. The door was closed but Oliver wasn't inside. He assumed he was cleaning up the food downstairs. Sebastian sat on Oliver's bed and looked around the room; seeing all of Oliver's stuff felt somewhat comforting.

Just then, Oliver walked inside, surprised at seeing his younger brother there. "Hey, you okay?"

Sebastian shrugged. He didn't know how to respond.

"Seb, I can tell somethings wrong." Oliver smiled sadly as he sat beside him. "Talk to me, what's up?"

"I'm just tired Oli. I've been feeling overwhelmed lately with all the filming and I miss our family and our house. Of course I love filming, but it's too much. I'm tired." Sebastian decides to open up to his brother who listens to every word Sebastian say, waiting for him to finish before he speaks.

Oliver sighs, realising that Sebastian is in fact feeling homesick. "I miss our family too, Sebby. I really do. You can always call them whenever you want; I'm sure mom and Mateo would love that. Now in terms of work, you should have told me earlier. Your mental health is so much more important than filming-"

"I don't want to let the stars down." Sebastian muttered. 

"You're not, Seb! The stars want you to be happy when filming." Oliver reassured as he ruffled Sebastian's hair. "You can take a little break from filming if that helps or just work less in general for the moment. Anything that'll make you feel less overwhelmed. Does that sound okay?"

Sebastian nods his head as Oliver smiles at him, opening his arms. "Come here."

Sebastian returns the smile and falls into his brothers embrace. He feels comforted and safe. 

"If you ever feel homesick, tired or anything just tell me. I'm your older brother for a reason." Oliver said as he pulled away from the hug and patted Seb's back who nodded in response. 

The bedroom door suddenly swings open and Regie appears there. "Oli when did we- Oh hi Seb?"

"Hey." Sebastian replies with a faint smile.

"What you doing here?" Regie asks as he sits on the bed too.

"He's feeling homesick and stressed from filming twice a day." Oliver answers.

"Aw poor Sebby." Regie attacks Sebastian with a hug who started to laugh. 

"Get off me!" Sebastian cries out while trying to hold in his laughter, failing in the end.

Regie gets off him and starts to talk about some show he started watching and how they should all watch it. Sebastian likes this. He likes when he can spend time with the boys just talking about ordinary things. It's consoling and relaxing. Maybe, he is going to be okay.
