___
His brothers and Nick just now laugh about the time when he thought that they didn't like him. Today's Nick didn't even get why he would think about such things. Maybe he was just overanalyzing everything before, unlike now.
Unlike now?
Nick decided to watch their videos just to pass time which was probably a bad idea because right now, he was watching how Chris and Matt are a lot way closer than both of them and him are. Okay, maybe this doesn't mean anything and he's just overthinking it.
He typed out Matt and Chris' moments on the search bar of his YouTube and watched almost everything. What he noticed is first: they seem to be more comfortable with each other. They get along well together than them with Nick. They're a lot kinder with each other but more importantly, they say i love you to each other first and then look back at Nick as ifthey only remembered he was there and they needed to tell him that too.
Nick turned off his phone, now feeling a little off. It's nothing really, he shouldn't really let it affect him.
He goes to sleep with a heavy heart and a mind full of confusion that night.

The next day, Nick couldn't help but to analyze his brothers' every movements. That's when he noticed everything and everything sinked in to him. Matt didn't offer him his favorite food, he offered it to Chris. Chris asked what Matt would want for a drink and gave him it while he just handed water to Nick.
It's just the little things. It's the little things he noticed which led to the big realizations.
Sure, his brothers might not hate him, but they surely do not like him. They might love him, but they don't like him. He was never a favorite. He just wrapped himself in the safe bubble, thinking that the three of them didn't have a favorite. It was always Matt and Chris. Chris and Matt. There was no Nick in the picture.
And what do he do about it?
He don't know. He's not sure. Cry? Maybe. But what would he do after?
"Nick, Chris and I are grabbing something at the local store. Wanna come?" Matt asked which pulled him out of his thoughts. Nick looked at Matt.
Did he ask Nick just because he felt like he needed to? Should he come with them? But he would only be a burden. Nick smiled and shook his head, "Nope. I'm good. Gotta do something work related."
"Alright, okay. We'll be back in a bit."
Nick nodded and watched his brother go. What's the next step?
Nick fell asleep on the sofa, no one woke him up and just gave him a blanket. It was probably Matt because this blanket is his. If he was Chris, Matt would probably woke him up and tell him to sleep in the comfort of his soft bed. Unfortunately for Nick, he isn't Chris. He isn't Matt's favorite brother.
Chris was already in the kitchen making waffles for everyone. Nick noticed two glasses of milk in the kitchen table. Chris looked back at him and he looked shocked that Nick woke up early.
"Oh! you're awake. Good morning." Chris turned the heat for low before getting him a water. "Here, drink that up."
Chris must be in a good mood. He isn't like this every morning, usually they all wake up a little late but they got an early rest so that must be the reason of Chris' good mood and them waking up early for breakfast. Nick didn't get to have the milk, it was for Matt then. His thoughts were confirmed when the sleepy Matt entered the kitchen and Chris handed him the milk.
