Day 2/14

"Don't hesitate to come back anytime, okay?" Ron says, a small smile plastered on his face as he drops them off at the airport another time. It was always bittersweet to watch them leave, even when three out of four aren't biologically his, he loves them as if they were

"Dad" Iris laughs "I'm not dying"

"I know, I know. I'll have to come up to L.A one day and see what the fuss is about" He says as he parks the car on the side, getting out to help everyone unload their baggage. Matt grabs Iris's bags along with his, making her load lighter and allowing her an easier trip

"Thank you for the ride" Nick grins, pulling Ron into a hug and grabbing his luggage again "You have nothing to worry about, we've got her" He gently knocks into Iris with his arm

"Guys please" Iris playfully rolls her eyes "I can hold my own"

"Oh yeah? Just yesterday I had to order for you because you were too nervous. Love you bug" Ron laughs earning a gasp from Iris "Doesn't hurt to have extra protection"

"Extra protection" Chris laughs, whispering to Matt "Sounds naughty" ,Matt responds by rolling his eyes and stepping away from his brother, choosing to ignore the last ten seconds of his life

Ron hugs Chris goodbye before stepping towards Matt. He pulls him into a tight hug, whispering something in Matt's ear, unable to be heard by anyone else. Matt responds with a nod and patting Ron's back before taking one step back. Iris was curious as to what her father had said to him, but figured it could wait until later

She wraps her arms around her Dads waist, embracing the moment not knowing when she'd return.

"I love you kid" He smiles "Be good"

"I love you Dad" She smiles back, separating the hug "I'll text you when we land" He sits back in the driver seat, waving at them as he pulls off. The group walks inside and checks in their tickets. Iris and Nick would be sitting in the row in front of Matt and Chris.

Matt (who was lacking behind) jogs up to be next to Iris, who was walking next to Chris and Nick, "Ready to be home?"

"I'm excited to see Blake. I think Nai and Ken are coming over tomorrow night for a girls night, so I would say i'm pretty excited" Iris laughs

"Sleepover without me?" Matt teases jokingly

"Bro..." Chris laughs, having overheard the conversation "It's giving where my hug at?" He laughs harder, putting air quotes around his last four words

"Shut the fuck up" Matt rolls his eyes, smacking his brother with his hand

"Chris is just mad because he is chronically alone" Nick says, earning an arm slap from Chris. One thing about the Sturniolo brothers is they never keep their hands to themselves

"Oh and you're not?" Chris replies "As far as I know, Matt is the only one of us with a girlfriend"

Iris feels her cheeks burn up with smitten, a small smile creeping on her face. Matt happens to have the same reaction as he opens his mouth to speak, "We aren't technically dating"

"Yeah yeah" Nick rolls his eyes

After arriving at their terminal and waiting around twenty minutes to board, they settle into their seats on the plane. Iris's least favorite part of flying was the take off turbulence, and Matt knew this. He leaned forward to sneak his hand onto her arm through the gap of the seat, rubbing her gently for comfort. Her heavy breaths became easy. Once he knew Iris was okay, he relaxed back in his seat next to Chris. She could hear small bits of their conversation, but not much through the noise of the plane.
