Sturniolo Triplets angst/Other Things

𝑻𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅~ 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤

Nick has been exhausted here recently and hasn't been sleeping, which makes him pretty snappy and in a bad mood. His brothers eventually help him sleep.

-----------

Chris's POV.

"Oh- COME OOONN!" I yell at I die for the 15th time in fortnight, Matt laughs and I get up and go to the kitchen where Nicky was. Giving him a big, very warm hug because I just love him so much. "Hey Nick!" I say, earning a grunt and a little tap on my hand, "You wanna come join the game?" I ask, Nick sighs and shoves me off and gets up from the table, I notice bags under his eyes and I grow worried. "Hey man, you good?-" I ask, but Nick had already left.

Matt comes up and asks me about Nick, I shake my head and shrug "I dunno, he's probably just tired or somethin" I say, sitting down at the table.

The next day

Nick's POV.

I've been in my room all night.
I can't sleep.. I'm so, so tired.
Like exhausted. I feel like ripping my hair out and stabbing myself just so I'll die and be able to sleep finally.
I also think I hallucinated last night so, that's nice.

As I lay in my bed, wide the fuck awake for the 6th day in a row, I feel tears fill my eyes. "God- why the fuck can't I sleep!" I groan, holding my head in my hands as the headache I've had since yesterday gets worse as I'm crying.

My sorrow is put to a stop when I hear a knock on my door, I sit up quickly and wipe my eyes. "What" I say, mentally cringing at my ugly, scratchy voice. "Hey, get up ya goof we have somewhere to be today" I hear Chris say through the door, followed by a "Yeah man get up" from Matt. I nod, 'Oh yeah, we gotta go to the store for a video' I think to myself as I start standing, only to sit right the fuck back down because the world as I knew it started spinning like I was in a God damn blending machine on full blast.

"Mkay, gimmie a s'cond" I manage to slur out as I stand up very very slowly as to not die.
I make my way over to my closet, picking out some loose pants, a yellow pussy chicken shirt and a white hoodie.
I put that on and make myself presentable before leaving the comfort of my room and go downstairs to where I hear very loud music and Chris singing along to it. I cringe and sit at the table, covering my ears, feeling a pair of hands on my shoulders I look and see Matt smiling at me "What's up sleepyhead" he says chuckling, I give a weak smile.

After a minute I finally have had enough and I turn the music off, Chris gets upset and starts whining about it. I can't even take this anymore, I wish he'd shut up.
I think to myself as he continues ranting.

"You're such a buzzkill Nick like come on! What's your problem kid?!" He asks, I roll my eyes "Maybe if you weren't a complete moron you'd think about the fact that I just woke up, kid" I spat. Chris scoffed "Well maybe if you weren't lazy-" he started, but I stopped him, "Well! Maybe if you weren't so-" I slammed my hand against the table as I say "Fucking annoying I would have no problem getting up and coming down here to listen to your loud ass fucking voice and your music!-" I stop as I feel myself start to cry, feeling like my head is being split open, I put my head in my hands, crying into them."Just be quiet please.." I beg, Chris comes over and hugs me gently.

"Nick..I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.." he mumbled, gently making me look at him, that was it for me, I basically threw myself into his arms, starting to cry pretty violently. "I'm sorry for- for yelling I just..I'm so so tired Chris! I can't sleep.." I confess, holding onto my brother tightly.
He nodded and rubbed my back, I feel Matt join the hug which makes me cry more. "I'm so sorry if I was r-ude or something- I just-" I can't even finish my sentence, feeling myself get lifted into Chris's arms, he brings me over to the couch and sits with me, Matt following close behind.

3rd person POV

Nick feels Chris run his fingers through Nick's hair. "You're alright Nick, it's okay" he says
Meanwhile Matt is on his way back with blankets and Nick's stuffed animals, smiling softly at his 'older' brother and sitting next to him, sandwiching him between him and Chris. They sit there with each other, talking about Nick's sleepless nights and how he was too nervous to ask them if they could have a sleepover.

"Aww Nick, dude, we can literally have a sleepover every single night if that's what helps you" Chris says, kissing Nick's head. Matt nods and cuddles into Nick. "Really?" Nick asks, eyes getting a little watery, Chris and Matt both nod in unison.

The three layers there together, Nick fell asleep quite fast, Matt and Chris watched a show on low volume as to not wake their brother.

Nick was going to be okay, they'd help him through this 'no sleep' fit if it was the last thing they ever did.

I don't really like this chapter because I think it sucks, but y'know. What're you gonna do?
Also, most of my stories are not proofread- so there will be a lot of errors, I'm sorry about that.
