it started out as just going on a walk to blow off some steam, but now, I can't believe it...

It was a day like any other, the birds were chirping lively as the time was ticking by, the sun had risen hours ago, but they tended to sleep in. as their alarm to eat something blairs through their headphones, they groan and reach for their phone, mumbling "it's too early to be aliveeee". as they look at the time, they note the date, as the dread slowly creeps up into them they note the reminder they had set ages ago. 'day to make bros less depressed' it read in bold lettering, they sigh, not wanting to deal with this again, today both of their older brothers would be acting weird, the tension between the siblings had been rising slowly all week, and today is finally the day.

 it's not like they haven't been through this already, every year the day comes around again, and every year they have to try their best to cheer the two up and try their hardest to not make their sister worry about any of them, and every year the task gets harder. 

they hear a light knock on their door which breaks them out of their thoughtful planning and inner complaining, "ah" they say loud enough so the one behind the door knows to enter, the door opens quietly and a small blonde stands in the door "good morning shu, i made food" she says with a small smile trying not the startle the older of the two, whomst silently acknowledges the statement and groggily more their hand to make grabby hands at the girl, who complies and comes to the bed to cuddle with them. 

"i don't wanna wake up" they mumble into their sister's hair, "i don't wanna deal with this again" they add. The girl stays silent, it's not often that the older one shows their honest feelings, not cause they aren't close, but because the older one wants to shield her from everything bad so she doesn't have to worry, they have always been so protective of her, ever since they were little. The girl then smiles knowing fully well that despite their protest, they will still try their hardest to make their older brothers happy. she gently pushes herself away from the older one "i made waffles~" the older one responds in a groan "i shaped them like cats and put fruits on them to make silly faces~" the room goes silent for a moment "what kinda fruits..?" the older one asks "your favorite~~" the younger one replies. they groan and stretch, suddenly being very motivated to get up, as the blonde giggles knowing fully well that she already had them at cat shaped.

the older one rushes to get out and eat their fill, as they leave the room they see an unusual sight, zack, the second oldest and family hermit number 2, after our blue haired protag, is sitting in the kitchen munching numbly on the waffles, which is unusual for him since he never comes out of his room for breakfast. 

the bluette goes to sit down next to their slightly older brother, cautious not to scare him. Zack looks up from his meal to look at his younger siblings and notes "shellsea made waffles" in a monotone voice, "she sure did" they affirm. "you doing alright?" they ask slowly, tho zack just stares and goes back to eating, it's quiet again, the two are eating in silence as shellsea watches them, trying to think of a way to cheer everyone up, but can't think of anything.

 that's when they hear the footsteps, it's the oldest coming out of his room, he's moving slowly, which is not in character for him either, the oldest, normally the most outgoing of them all has a expression of sorrow on his face as he moves towards the rest of the small family. "Morning Jay, i made waffles, cause i know how much you guys would like them!!" shellsea greets, no one ever knows how to interact with the oldest when he's in this state, it's so strange to witness and hard to look at, deciding they had enough, the bluette speaks up "so, when do you guys wanna go? after breakfast or??" which is answered with silence at first and then a "i don't really care" from Jay, while Zack averts his eyes.
