Five is a crowd

1-Just some medicine

It was a typical morning, snow was falling on and off covering the city in white. Everyone was aching for Spring, the drab weather only causing the boys to get on each others nerves as they were stuck inside together every day. They fought about almost everything, who's going to clean the dishes, who's going to make the meals.

Agustin, willingly made breakfast for everyone and the first one that followed the wafts seeping through the ceiling to the bedrooms, was Dylan. He came down still rubbing the sleep from his eyes completely careless of Agustin who did all the work.

"What's on the menu?" He asked as he took a seat at the table of four chairs. Todd Heart told them to scrape up some money to buy another one, but the boys wouldn't dare mess with the budget just for one stupid chair. They already couldn't afford any extras things like movie theater tickets or new clothes. They would just have to stick to the fights every meal time over who got to stand or eat their meal alone in the living room. 

"Know one cares that I'm the only one feeding everyone. I shop for the food I make it up all nice so you guys wont complain, and what do I get? No good mornings, no thank you's. Just what's on the menu?" 

Dylan raised his eyebrows, things must be bad if Agustin is complaining and nagging. He's usually the one that keeps everyone's mood's up.

"I helped with the shopping." 

The boys looked up to see Brooks coming into the kitchen. He was wearing one of Agustin's sweaters again.

"Yes you did and thank you. And I see you have on my sweater." Chuckled Agustin. He had a special bond with Brooks, usually being the one that looked out for him.

"If that's okay with you." Said Brooks. He was the one that spoke the least English and the others usually had to interpret for him. 

"Don't worry, come have some breakfast." Said Agustin.

Brooks took a seat across from Dylan and Agustin served them their food. 

"Eat up boys I have to go talk to Javier." Agustin already ate his breakfast before the others had gotten up, so he left the kitchen and went upstairs.

Javier was in the bathroom as usual fixing his hair or something. He was more of the vain one and all though the boys laughed at him, he didn't change. He said looking your best is important and he rather not bum around in sweats and a T-shirt like the others occasionally do.

"Javier!" Agustin called in a whisper through the bathroom door. He heard the water from the sink turn off then the door knob turning. 

"Give me a minute!" Javier began shutting the door again thinking Agustin was asking for some time in the bathroom.

"Wait!" Agustin put his arm in between the door to stop Javier from shutting it. "I have to talk to you."

Javier sighed, and widened the door so that Agustin could see him now. It was quiet a sight, his hair was a mess, and he had a sour expression, by the looks of it he was in one of his moods again. One that the boys knew all to well and didn't appreciate.

"You okay?" Asked Agustin with sincere concern. He went to Javier for advice since he was the oldest, he felt as if all responsibility was on him. Aman wasn't going to help out and Dylan was too fixed on his meals and video games. 

They only had one video game, Todd Heart said they deserved some fun but, Dylan was the one that would get addicted and tended forgetting his responsibility because of it.

"I can't take Brooks to work with me today, he was so board last time and complained till I got a head ache. He hasn't been that sick lately should I keep him home?" Asked Agustin.
