Sturniolo Triplets Oneshots (mainly Matt)

Matt has tourettes

Requested by izzy_angel05

Matt has tourettes and suffers a tic attack (he also has a stuttering disorder)

Despite the triplets coming from the same womb, Matt was born with a syndrome that none of his brothers faced. Tourettes syndrome. 

It hasn't been easy living with this condition. Matt was often picked on at school and faced a lot of humiliation in public. But luckily, he had his family, and most importantly, his brothers.

Nick and Chris helped Matt a lot with his condition and was always there for him whenever he needed support or comfort. They're the ones who helped him get through high school and encouraged him to start doing YouTube with them. Once their channel started growing, Matt started facing more backlash and hatred cause of his tourettes. It was rough but eventually everyone got used to it and became supportive towards him. 

Their parents had major concerns when the triplets were planning to move to LA. They were scared for Matt since there were gonna be new and more people and he will only have his brothers to help him. Obviously, they trusted Nick and Chris but they were still worried since they wouldn't be there if there was an emergency. But eventually, they put enough trust into their children and watched them fly to LA.

Nick and Chris have been doing a great job of taking care of Matt and focusing on their YouTube. But sometimes, things can get a bit tricky.

It was the afternoon and the triplets were hanging out at a mall. It was a bit more busy than usual so Nick and Chris stayed extra close to Matt. That was until Nick saw one of the K-pop stores.

"Omg we have to go there" Nick said

Chris and Matt disagreed since it was extra crowded in there and they don't enjoy kpop as much as Nick.

"You guys are so boring. Whatever, stay here while I go in" Nick said as he entered the store

Chris rolled his eyes and turned towards Matt, who was aggressively scratching his arm.

"I'm not waiting for him. Cmon let's go walk around" Chris grabbed Matt's hand to stop him from scratching himself.

Nick and Chris would always hold Matt's hands to stop his hand movements. But since Nick wasn't here, Matt used his other hand to ruffle his own hair.

They walked around for a little until Matt saw the Lego store.

"H-h-here! L-l-let's go h-h-here!" Matt pointed

"The Lego store? Sure"

Chris led Matt to the store as he watched him stare at all the legos, fascinated.

"Heh we should take you to Lego land" Chris laughed as Matt nodded his head eagerly 

Still holding hands, Matt walked over to one of the shelves that had Star Wars Legos. Matt gasped as he saw one of the structures that he always wanted. Out of excitement, his free arm started flapping around, causing one of the boxes to land on a teen girls foot.

"Oww!!" The girl jumped, getting her and her friend groups attention on Matt

"I-I-I'm so s-s-sorry it was a-an a-a-accident" Matt apologized and quickly picked the box back up

"No shit it was an accident. You can even control your own damn arm or your words" the girl said, causing her entire friend group to laugh

"Knock it off guys. He didn't mean it and he apologized so just let it go" Chris said, squeezing Matt's hand

"Yeah yeah whatever dork. Just admit that your friend is retarded. You even have to hold hands with that loser, how sad" the teen laughed

Matt looked down with tears as his arm started flapping around even more, causing the girls to laugh and a small crowd forming. Chris knew better than to cause a bigger scene so he dragged Matt out of there. Chris looked around for a bench as he could hear sobs coming from his brother.

Matt was having a tic attack. It's usually caused by anxiety. Along with the tourettes, Matt has really bad anxiety so tic attacks are not surprising but it can be tricky to deal with.

 He sat down and pulled Matt next to him. Matt rubbed his hands all over his head as broken sobs escaped his lips.

"Shhh it's ok sweetheart, I don't know what those girls were thinking" Chris rubbed Matt's back as he placed his other hand over Matt's to calm him down

"I-I-I'm a l-loser... I-I'm r-r-retarded" Matt sobbed

"Matty, you are not a loser and you are not retarded. Those girls are just mean, they dont deserve you"

"NO!! W-why are y-y-you even still h-h-here... just l-l-leave m-me alone! I'm j-just a m-m-mistake" Matt curled up into a ball, kicking his legs

Chris frowned, getting flashbacks to high school when Matt used to get bullied everyday and he would come home crying or with a black eye. 

"Hey hey, listen to me" Chris lifted Matt's head so he was looking at him, "you are not a mistake. I don't know what those girls were saying but they are not true. Me, Nick, and everyone else loves you so much and we are always more than happy to be with you. Please don't listen to them. Don't let them get to your head because you are the most precious boy out there" 

Matt smiled as chris kissed his forehead. They were probably causing a bigger scene than in the Lego store but Chris couldn't give a fuck. They sat there for a few minutes until Matt was feeling better.

"How about we get you that Lego set, huh?" Chris smiled as Matt nodded his head eagerly

Before they could get up, Nick ran to them.

"Where were you guys? I've been looking everywhere for you, I told you wait in front of the store" Nick panted as he noticed Matt's red eyes, "Whats wrong Matt?"

Chris started explaining everything to Nick since Matt didn't feel like talking about it. He told him about the legos, the girls, and the crying. This filled some rage into Nick but Chris convinced him that it was best to not make another scene.

After Nick cooled down, him and Chris took Matt back to the store to buy him the Lego set he always wanted. Luckily the girls weren't there anymore and they were able to purchase it without any problems.

"T-T-Thank you N-N-Nick and C-Chris" Matt said as they exited the store, feeling like a child and his brothers were his parents

"Of course darling, you deserve it" Nick ruffled Matt's hair

They left the mall shortly after that and spent the rest of the day helping Matt build his legos <3
