One evening, Y/N was in the kitchen, carefully measuring out a portion of cat food for Whiskers. She enjoyed this quiet time with her kitten, talking to him softly as he eagerly awaited his meal. As she poured the food into Whiskers' bowl, she heard the murmur of voices coming from the living room. Curious, she paused to listen.

It was Matt, Nick, and Chris, deep in conversation. She could hear the concern in Matt's voice, and her curiosity grew.

"Guys, I know it's silly, but I can't help feeling a bit left out lately," Matt admitted.

Nick responded, "Matt, it's not silly. Y/N just really loves Whiskers. It's a new pet, and she's excited. But we know how much she loves you too."

Chris chimed in, "Yeah, remember when she said you were her favorite brother? That hasn't changed. She's just trying to balance everything. Maybe we can help her find that balance."

Y/N felt a pang of guilt. She hadn't realized how much her attention to Whiskers was affecting Matt. Determined to make things right, she finished feeding Whiskers quickly and quietly made her way to the living room.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" she asked, pretending she hadn't overheard.

The three brothers looked up, slightly startled but quickly recovering.

"Nothing much," Nick said with a smile. "Just chatting."

Y/N walked over and sat next to Matt, looking up at him with sincere eyes. "Matt, I'm really sorry if I've been neglecting you. I love Whiskers, but I love you even more. You're my favorite brother, and I don't want you to feel left out."

Matt smiled, his earlier worries melting away. "It's okay, Y/N. I know you didn't mean it. I just miss spending time with you."

Nick and Chris exchanged approving glances, happy to see the situation resolving itself.

"How about this," Y/N suggested, "from now on, we have a special time each day just for us. We can do anything you want, and Whiskers can join in too if you like."

Matt's face lit up. "I'd love that!"

Chris nodded. "Sounds like a great plan. And if you ever need help with Whiskers, you know where to find us."

Nick added, "Yeah, we're a team. We can make this work."

Y/N hugged Matt tightly, feeling the warmth of their bond. "I promise I'll do better, Matt."

And so, they spent the rest of the evening playing games and laughing together. Whiskers, curious about the excitement, occasionally wandered over, eliciting giggles from everyone.

In their bustling, happy home, Y/N, her brothers, and Whiskers found a way to balance their love and attention. They continued to create cherished memories, each moment strengthening the unbreakable bond they shared.

A few weeks later, on a crisp autumn afternoon, Whiskers unexpectedly darted out of the front door while Y/N was busy setting up for a family movie night. She had just opened the door to grab the mail when the adventurous kitten saw his chance and bolted outside. Y/N’s heart sank as she watched Whiskers disappear into the thick bushes at the edge of their yard.
