Matt's morning had started off slow and painful. He woke up to the voices of his brothers arguing downstairs about the toaster? Really? Along with the sudden rouse, his stomach was killing him. It almost felt like someone had stabbed a knife into his stomach and kept twisting it. True and utter horrid pain.

After managing to get out of his bed, Matt stumbled into his bathroom in search of some stomach medicine,  or anything really. He assumed he was coming down with a stomach bug or his stomach just wanted to play wicked tricks on him. To no avail, Matt sighed and made his way downstairs, greeted by Chris and Nick's loud voices; at least they weren't arguing anymore.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Nick said in a melodic tone, earning a giggle from Chris who was munching on cereal.

Matt ignored him and walked straight into the kitchen, deciding the stomach ache may be from hunger. He could eat some avocado toast and drink apple juice.

"Um. hello? I'm talking to you." Nick replied with a questioning look. "What's the matter with you?"

"Nothing, sorry, good morning, Nick." Matt answered before making himself his breakfast and joining his brothers in the living room.

Small banter filled the air as the boys ate their breakfast, talking about their up coming car video. Matt, however, seemed to immediately realise that food was not the solution to his stomach ache and instead seemed to fuel the pain more. He suddenly doubled over, clutching his stomach.

"Matt, what's wrong?" Chris asked worriedly.

Matt spoke through gritted teeth, "My stomach's killing me. It's been hurting since I woke up."

"Are you hungry?" Chris asked.

"No dumbass, clearly not." Nick replied, making his way to Matt. "Would you like me to fetch you some stomach medicine?"

"I couldn't find any." Matt mumbled, visibly in pain.

"Chris, go get the medicine, it's in my nightstand drawer." Nick instructed the younger who got up straight away. "Do you think it was something you ate yesterday?"

Matt shrugged as he clutched his stomach harder. He felt like his stomach was going to burst, the pain was immense. But Nick did have a point. He ate something that clearly tasted off but he had dismissed it and ate most of it.

A wave of pain hit Matt like a train and he tried his best to not scream, not wanting to startle his brothers anymore then he already had.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetheart, I wish I could take the pain away." Nick soothed, rubbing Matt's back as he held his tears back.

Chris returned with three different medications. "I wasn't sure which one, so I brought them all."

Matt rolled his eyes and smiled at him. "Thank you." Once taking the correct medication, Matt decided to take a nap, hoping to wake up from it feeling replenished and jovial.

Things took a turn rather fast. Matt woke up suddenly and rushed to the bathroom before emptying his stomach contents out in the toilet. His stomach muscles clenched as he threw up some more, causing more pain. Chris and Nick must've heard him as, within a couple seconds, both of them were beside him; one holding his hair out of his face and the other rubbing circles on his back in a comforting manner.

"There you go. Let it all out, love." Nick calmly spoke.

Once Matt finished, he leaned back onto Chris who wrapped his arms around him, trying his best at comforting him. Matt felt defeated. His stomach had given up on him and left him in pain. Nick cleaned up Matt's mouth and the toilet then helped Matt up to his unsteady feet. They started heading into the living room, before Nick stopped and spoke;

"How about we get you to bed? Now that yesterday's food is out of your system, you should start to feel better soon." Nick stated as Matt simply nodded, unable to respond.

Both Nick and Chris helped Matt up the stairs and into Chris' bedroom; he had the biggest bed and probably the most comforting atmosphere. They laid him down and covered him up with the blanket. Matt could already feel his stomach ache relaxing a little, he sighed in relief. Maybe Nick was right.

"Wait." Matt called out as his brothers tucked him in. "Please stay here."

Chris smiled and in a second he was cuddling with Matt, wrapping his arms around him. "Come here, Nick."

Nick rolled his eyes but complied. If that was what would help Matt feel better, then he'd do it without a doubt.

Matt smiled, "Thank you guys so much."

"No need to thank us." Chris replied, snuggling closer to Matt.

"Yup, you'd do the same for us." Nick said as Matt rested his head onto his chest, seeking easement and security.

And when Matt woke up a couple hours later, he was feeling way better already. It must have been yesterday's food then.
