Tw: fainting and swearing 

Matt was recently diagnosed with POTS last year and ever since then, life hasn't been easy for him. He's been feeling more tried and lightheaded which made it difficult for him to film for long periods of time. Obviously Chris and Nick knew about this so they always took it upon themselves to take care of Matt. 

The triplets were in Boston when Matt was diagnosed so they usually relied on their parents to take care of Matt whenever he fainted, but since they moved to LA, it was there job to protect their brother. 


When Matt fainted for the first time in LA

Chris was sitting in the kitchen while Nick was making pasta.

"Chris can you tell Matt that dinners ready" Nick said as he started serving them in plates

"Alright"

Chris got up and walked to Matt's room. He knocked on the door to get no response. When he opened it he saw Matt still sleeping.

"HEY KID WAKE UP" Chris yelled which made Matt jump, "Jesus you've been sleeping all day! Get up dinners ready"

"Alright geez" Matt said.

The reason why Matt was sleeping all day was because he felt tired. Really tired. He had a massive headache but decided to just get up and walked to the kitchen.

When he got in, Nick handed him his plate of pasta. The pasta made him feel nauseous and dizzy for some reason. Right when he was about to take a seat, Matt fainted.

"SHIT" Chris yelled as he got up to help Matt

Matt's head hit the floor pretty hard

"Check his head is he ok?!" Nick asked as he bent down

Chris checked his head and it looked fine.

"His heads fine but what do we do??" Chris yelled

"I don't fucking know!! What did mom do?" Nick yelled back

Chris thought for a moment and said "I KNOW first she checked if he was still breathing"

"Well he obviously fucking is" Nick pointed to his chest that was slowly rising

"Nick do you wanna help or not?!"

"Ok ok what's next?"

Chris surprisingly remembered all of moms steps and soon Matt woke up.

"Guys..?" Matt mumbled

"Hey Matty, you fainted" Chris said

"oh"

"How do you feel sweetheart?" Nick asked

"Tired. Very tired. Oh and my head hurts a lot"

"Okie dokie" Nick replied as he picked up Matt and took him to his room to place him on his bed. 

Chris came back with some water and ice and placed the ice pack on his head.

"Okay kid you should feel better now. Just rest ok?" Chris said

Nick and Chris started walking out the room until they heard Matt 

"Wait! Can you guys stay?"

Nick and Chris smiled at eachother and climbed into the same bed as Matt
