strong brothers

Welcome to paris!

Avery's pov 

(sorry that writing styles keep changing. Trying to find the perfect one that suits me most.)

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt someone gently shaking my shoulder. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I looked up to find Jake smiling down at me. The loud humming of the engines was still there, but somehow it didn't sound as scary anymore. Instead, it had become almost comforting after hearing it for so many hours.

"Morning sleepyhead." Jake chuckled softly as he brushed a few messy strands of hair away from my forehead. "Did you have a good nap buddy?"

I blinked a few more times before slowly nodding my head. "Mhm..." I mumbled sleepily. Looking around the cabin, I quickly realised everyone else was already awake. Tyson was quietly looking out the window beside me, Ezra was somehow eating another bag of chips even though he had already eaten 2 bags of it, Silas was holding his camera like always, and Ace was reading his light novel while chatting with Cason about hotels and restaurants.

I was about to drift back to sleep when the familiar feeling of a soaked pull-up between my legs made me squirm. Ezra must've noticed because he set his bag of chips aside and walked over to me.

"Need a change?" he asked, his mouth still half full of chips.

I gave him a small nod. He carefully picked me up, grabbed a fresh pull-up from the bag, and carried me over to the toilet.

"Wow... you really soaked this one, huh?" he chuckled as he gently pulled the wet pull-up down between my legs.

He slowly cleaned me up before looking at me. "You don't have to go anymore, do you buddy?"

I shook my head.

"Alright. Step into the new one for me."

I did as Ezra told. holding onto his shoulders for balance while he pulled the fresh pull-up up my legs. He made sure it was sitting snugly around my waist before adjusting the leg cuffs so they wouldn't bunch up or leak.

"There we go," he smiled, giving the waistband one last gentle pat. "Much better."

Once he was satisfied everything was comfortable, Ezra picked me up again and carried me back to my seat. The soft hum of the engines filled the cabin as he buckled me in before pulling the blanket back over my lap.

"Better?" he asked.

I gave him a sleepy nod, as I stretched myself out and made myself comfortable again.

"Good. Try to get some more rest. We've still got about an hour before we land."

He ruffled my hair with a small smile before returning to his seat, grabbing his bag of chips again. Every now and then I'd catch him glancing over to make sure I was alright.

Jake noticed and laughed quietly. "You check on him every five seconds."

Ezra shrugged. "Someone has to."

"He's fine."

"I know," Ezra replied, smiling as he looked over once more. "I just like making sure, you know?"

"Jakey?" I called.

"Mhm?"

"Where is my paci and Cody?"(his stuffy)

"Oh! Your paci is right here. It fell out while you were sleeping so I cleaned it up and forgot to give it back. Cody on the other hand.. is right here!" Jake quickly got up and pulled out Cody from under his shirt. He then used Cody to tickle me. Making me giggle non stop.

I could feel Silas recording us right this moment when Ezra stopped Jake a few more seconds in. "C'mon I just changed his pull-ups! I don't want him to have an incident again."
