Baby of the Band (The Second Part)

The mean voices (Part 2)

Prompt - Maybe a part two? Where we see the boys getting used to seeing the difference between Nath having an episode and him just plainly being a brat

~~~~~~~~

The Wanted boys were really very protective of Nathan. Ever since they learnt about the boy's schizophrenia, they wasted no time in getting him help. From being by his side throughout each and every episode to helping him keep up with his medicines and his appointments with the doctor, the boys remained very optimistic throughout this whole journey to make sure that their youngest bandmate will recovery very soon.

But along with all that, they also learnt to differentiate between Nathan actually having an episode and him just being a brat as usual. It wasn't too difficult for them to see the differences actually. If Nathan would be having an episode, he would usually be calm one second and then get pensive before having a complete mood change. The boys had learnt to deal with that too as well as when he was being a brat because that's when their little boy would be all cranky and do things for a reason unlike how his episodes are without any reason.

They had been in the kitchen when Siva passed on a plate to Nathan. Getting him to eat during this whole schizophrenic episodes had been seriously difficult. For a second, Nathan looked to make a move to actually eat and the boys had been very pleased to see him reacting so well but then he got lost in his thoughts. "Not again" Jay sighed. Smiling sadly, Tom held Nathan's hand in his, "hey, buddy, are you hearing those voices again?" At first Nathan whined and then nodded. "Don't listen to them, Nath" Siva chipped in. "Focus on us. Not on the voices" Max added. Nathan shut his eyes, burying his head in Tom's shirt, letting the man rub his back as he tried not to listen to those voices.

Whereas when Nathan wanted to be a brat, it would be quite different to this. That's when he needed to be disciplined and not cuddled. Well, cuddles after the disciplining session is something else! Recently, they had been waiting for the boy to come down for them to go to Scooter's and as soon as Nathan came down, Tom handed him the medicines he needed to take. He thought Nathan had taken them but when he looked back, Nathan had thrown the medicines down. "Nath, buddy, you need those medicines" Siva tried to reason with him. "No" The boy simply said. "Are you hearing the voices again?" Jay asked. "No, this is him being a brat" Max sighed and handed him the pills again. This time Nathan threw it right at Max saying, "I don't want to." Max had had enough of that as he pulled the boy over his lap, pushing down his jeans and boxers to spank him.

I don't care that you don't want to take the medicines

SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT

You'll have to take your medicines

SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT

You don't get to make a decision like this when your health is at risk

Max ended the spanking as he pulled Nathan in his arms to cuddle. "I'm sorry" Nathan sobbed. "I know. Here, take your medicine" Max said. Tom helped Nathan take the pills before asking him, "Why don't you want to take your medicines?" "They make me feel sleepy" Nathan whined. "Then sleep because we're going to chill only at Scooter's place." Max said. They all chuckled as the boy whined but fell asleep right after, cuddling into Max.

No matter if he was having an episode or he was just being a brat, the boys will always be there for Nathan. Whether it was the mean voices or just Nathan being mean, they'll deal with it.
