Baby of the Band (The Second Part)

The mean voices

Prompt - Could you do one where Nathan has a disease called schizophrenia, it's were you hear voices and see your imaginary friends, and Nathan hears the voices telling him to do bad stuff and he gets spanked for being bad and then Nathan cries in his room because the voices are being mean and when he tells Max and Tom, Tom understands and they all help Nathan, and cuddle a lot.

Since the past few days, Nathan seemed to have gotten quite rebellious. He seemed to be having a double personality. Sometimes he'd retreat to his room and be very silent whereas sometimes he'd throw a big tantrum. The boy had been up to things that really got to the boys. But no matter how much they punished the boy, Nathan seemed to not mending his ways. The boys were getting quite worried about Nathan this time.

Recently Nathan had been having anger issues. At one point, he'll be calm and in the next moment, he'd be absolutely fuming. This time also, he and Jay had gotten into a small argument about the house chores. It had been Nathan's time to do the dishes but he was throwing a tantrum. Jay had tried reasoning with the boy and Nathan seemed to listen too but then he grew silent before turning around and throwing a plate towards Jay. Max shook his head at Nathan and after inquiring if Jay was okay, he was quick to pull Nathan over his lap.

Max ended the spanking, pulling Nathan in a hug. "What's wrong with you, little man?" Max asked. "I'm sorry. Didn't mean to be bad." Nathan sobbed. "Hey, come here, buddy" Tom said as he pulled Nathan in his arms. "I know something is wrong and I want you to know that it is completely safe for you to tell us anything." Tom softly said. "Voices... They told me to hit Jay" Nathan whispered. "Voices? What voices?" Jay asked. Instead of replying, Nathan buried his head in Nathan's shoulder. "Nath, do you hear voices?" Siva asked. Nathan nodded. "Oh buddy, you should have told us before itself. You wouldn't have been spanked." Max sighed. "It's okay kiddo, we'll scare away those mean voices" Jay reassured the boy. "We'll get you some help" Tom promised.

As promised the boys got Nathan to get some professional help. They had been by Nathan's side throughout the treatment. Nathan had had lots of episodes during that time. Sometimes, the boys would spank him for his misbehavior, only to show him that nothing changed. Sometimes, Nathan just needed a bit of cuddle time to calm down. The boys were always there for him no matter what he needed.

Schizophrenic or not! He was their little brother. They'll scare away the mean voices for him. They'll always protect their little brother.
