bmpowell2 says, "could you make one with Chris sucking his thumb? I really like this side of him and how you wrote this - where he's childish - I really liked your accidentally high ones and was wondering If you could do another like that? Idk how that'd be possible just liked it and with Justin" I got you <333 xx this stuff will be spread amongst the different chapters. 

Summary: Chris' health has been a topic of concern for a while but he's denying it. Nick and Matt plan a trip home to Boston and ask their parents for help convincing Chris to get checked out. Eventually, Chris goes to the Doctor and they think he has Meningitis - they do a test. It's negative but Chris is incredibly upset/overwhelmed. They then do a blood test and officially diagnosis him as anemic. He receives two iron transfusions. 

The Chris whump in this is probably the whumpiest whump I've ever written. He's so baby in this so if that's your thing: cool (besties), if not - don't like, don't read.

This will be like 5-6 parts. 

TW: medical themes, hospitals, needles, blood (very minor discussion), IVs, panic attacks, medical anxiety, medical procedures, lowkey regression? Kinda? Just child-like behaviour really.

♡ Monday:

"Chris?" Matt looked over to his brother from the driver's side of the car, "you alright there buddy?" 

The youngest was slouched in the passenger seat, with his eyes closed. He readjusted himself in the seat, moving more onto his side. He remained asleep, not answering his brother's question.

"Just leave em," Nick mumbled from the backseat of the car.

"Yeah, yeah, I will," Matt replied, eyeing Nick with a nod of agreement from the rearview mirror, "just strange he's been so tired lately, has he not been sleeping?" 

Nick looked up from his phone, now more engaged in the conversation, "from what I've seen he's been sleeping fine," 

"Maybe it's noth-" Matt cut himself off when he heard Chris let out a whined exhale. 

Nick and Matt waited to see if their brother would wake up. The middle triplet placed a hand on his younger brother's arm patting gently. He tapped Chris' arm a few times in comfort, finishing by rubbing a few small circular motions into Chris' forearm. The youngest settled and Matt continued his sentence.

"Maybe it's nothing, probably just exhausted from all the meetings lately," 

"Yeah, speaking of which should I call Laura? Tell her we'll be late? This traffic is ridiculous," Nick changed the topic. 

"No, I'll get us there, we have time," Matt assured.

Tuesday: 

"I'm not a chitchat guy," Matt started to explain. 

The triplets were filming a new car video, set to come out on the Friday. Matt was hyped about explaining how much he hated small talk. He was just excited to have a moment to share his opinion and have his time to speak. 

Seconds in to Matt's explanation, Chris started to speak over his brother. He added in his opinion on the matter. Matt reached over to the passenger seat and on instinct, he smacked his brother for the interruption. Chris ended up with a hit to the stomach, he immediately hunched over in his seat. 

"Ahhh owww," Chris squealed loudly, "owwww" he let out a long whine.

Matt looked to Nick in the rearview mirror, sharing an annoyed glance. The two older triplets were used to the youngest's antics.
