{Thank you  @Xxbittersweet_RoseXxfor this idea!}

 Frankly Matt knew that his brothers loved him, I mean that remind him all the time! Wether it be in their movies nights, or going out to do something with his brothers. He knew that they loved him, but even Matt knew deep down that he was holding them back. He heard it all the time in their video, he could feel his heart ache as they bashed him. Matt knew that it was all a ploy of their online characters that everybody loved, but it stung sometimes...

——————————————————— 

Matt sat on his bed a tornado of blankets covering his legs. He scrolled through TikTok for a few hours before hearing a knock on his door. He looked up and saw Chris leaning on his doorframe. 

Chris looked him deadpanned "Matt me and Nick are hungry and we don't want to order takeout, so can you drive us to McDonald's?" Chris breathed out looking at Matt expected an immediate answer. Matt just sighed and hauled himself out of his cocoon of blanked, and walked out of the door mumbling a small "sure" under his breath. Chris followed behind him as they walked down the stairs to the car. Matt really didn't want to go out, he just wanted to ball up in his room and look at his phone, but he didn't want Chris to hate him. So he just agreed and drove them both to McDonald's. As they pulled into the drive thru, Matt asked Chris and Nick for their orders even though he knew they get the same thing all the time. He order the food with some struggle as Chris was trying to change his order even though Matt knew he was just end up eating the first thing he got. Matt decided that he wasn't going to order anything since he saw comments on how he seemed to be getting bigger in past videos (THIS IS JOKE MATT IS BEAUTIFUL). Chris saw that there was only two orders of food being passed to them through the window before Matt pulled away from the window. Chris was generally confused on why they only got to orders when he was certain that he saw Matt order there food. Chris looked back at Nick and he seemed to notice to since he was staring at Matt's moving hands passing out food. Nick and Chris had a silent agreement to ask what was about the missing order. Chris was the one who spoke up "Hey Matt, why are there only 2 orders of food? Not that I don't mind it, but where's your food?" Chris thought he saw Matt stiffen up at the question. Matt turned his head to  face Chris. He eyes seemed dilated as he looked at him, but before Chris could ask Matt just laughed and said " I'm just getting a little chubby on edges. I should probably start hitting the gym"  Chris just laughed with him to make him feel better about the situation, he looked at Nick who started slightly laughing also. They started to drive back to the house, and as they stepped foot into the house Matt just went up into his room, and sat there for the rest of the night. 

———————————————————————

Chris and Nick started to worry more and more as the weeks went by, Matt seemed to be always joking about either how he looked, his weight, and Nick started to notice that whenever Matt seemed anxious he played it off as being normal. Chris and Nick had enough, they could see that something was bothering Matt, but they didn't know what it was! Nick had come up with a plan to get Matt to tell them what was happening, why he was acting like, and why he seemed to be being himself down at any given moment. They decided that they would initiate their plan the next time that Matt crawled out of his cave of a room. 

They waited and waited until they heard banging of footsteps and a door opening and shutting. They knew it was Matt since Chris and Nick were both downstairs watching a comedy movie. They decided to just sit on the couch until Matt made his way downstairs. As they heard footsteps and a quiet mumble behind them, they turned around to look at Matt. He was in the pantry grabbing a snack, before walking over to the couch to watch the movie with them. Chris and Nick decided that it was a perfect time to put their plan in action. Chris turned on the couch and looked at Matt, he seemed to noticed the small movement since his eyes flicked up to look towards Chris. Chris decided that now was the time to confront him. "Matty I have a question for you."  Matt looked at him confused, he started to run through his mind trying to find anything he did wrong, but he couldn't find anything that would have made Chris mad at him. Chris sighed softly and opened his mouth to continue "Me and Nick noticed that you.. haven't been being the most positive about yourself lately. And what I mean by that is it seems that every chance you get you talk bad about yourself, and you seem to downgrading yourself on your anxiety not being normal. You seem to be isolating your problems from us! Matt just PLEASE TELL US WHATS WRONG!" Chris didn't mean to snap, but he knew something was wrong and wanted to get the bottom of it. Matt looked his Chris his eyes watering slightly as he held back tears. Chris laid his hand on his back in a way of comfort and Matt just broke. He started to cry as everything came crashing down. Chris pulled Matt into a hug as Nick got up to grab some water from the fridge for Matt. He cried into Chris's shoulder wetting the material, but Chris didn't care. Matt gasped out small sorry's and I didn't mean to at times, but Chris just hushed him. Nick was on his back rubbing soothing circles to calm him down before he worked him self into an anxiety attack. As Nick and Chris heard Matt's breath start to even out and he pulled away from his shoulder. Nick and Chris wanted answers. Matt just sighed and took the water from Nick's free hand, opened it and drank. He took some more sips before taking a big breath " I-I really didn't want you guys to worry about me.. all those comments I were making"  Matt paused taking another sip of his water before continuing "there were a few comments on our latest videos about how I looked, how I was to much as a baby, how I'm "faking" my anxiety, and how I gained weight.. and I was joking about as to not worry you guys, but every time I did you would just shake your head yes and laugh like you were agreeing with the comments. And I knew that you wouldn't but as I continued it just seemed like you guys didn't care and agreed what with the people were saying"         Matt breathed out in a fast pace so his brothers couldn't add on. Nick and Chris looked at him, and just frowned. They pulled him into a hug, Matt rested his head on Nicks shoulder, Chris just hummed softly and Matt could hear Nick silently whisper into the empty room "we would never think about you that way honey. We just wanted to make you feel comfortable"  Matt just seeped into the comfort of his brothers arms. He knew that when we he had his brothers he would be alright. They were the sturniolo triplets after all, not the sturniolo twins...
