ADHD and the side effects

Prompt - Heyo! Can you do another one shot of Nathan from the wanted having ADHD and they’re at an interview? He can’t stop fidgeting and the interviewer is very mean to him because of this? Sorry if it’s too much :( thank you

Prompt - Hey can you do a one shot for the wanted where Nathan has been getting hate and he acts out during an interview because the interviewer is rude and the boys talk to him? And he confesses about the hate? Take your time

 ------

When Nathan was diagnosed with ADHD, he hardly thought of it as a big deal. It wasn’t like it would change his life, right? That’s what his mum had promised him. His family had reassured him that he was still their boy and nothing had changed. Except that they were completely wrong! It did change his life. Or perhaps when he got in the band, he interacted with more people than his family or close friend group, and they were not always so nice to him when they learnt about his ADHD.

------

When The Wanted boys learnt about Nathan’s ADHD, they had all started to be a little too overprotective with Nathan. In fact, it had gotten Nathan so frustrated that he snapped at the boy.

“I’m not sick! Please stop treating me like this” Nathan shouted.

“We didn’t mean it like this Nath” Jay tried to explain.

“I appreciate your help but don’t…” Nathan trailed off, actually tearing up.

“Hey” Siva sighed, squeezing Nathan’s shoulder.

“We’re worried for you buddy. So maybe we went a bit overboard” Max said.

“Listen here kiddo, we’ll probably go overboard sometimes but we all mean good. From the day you joined in, you were our responsibility but now it’s gotten a bit more serious. But not in the wrong way okay? You’re our little brother. We’re allowed to fuss over you” Tom explained to the boy.

Nathan sighed. He couldn’t really fight the boys on this.

------

Nathan never believed his ADHD to be a hindrance in his life. He took his meds regularly and if ever he missed it, then the boys always carried a spare for him. His ADHD sometimes made him moody, jittery or hyperactive. And after taking the meds, it made him lethargic or emotional. There was always some kind of side effects. If he didn’t take his medications, then his ADHD troubled him and if he took the meds, then the side effects bothered him. It became the reason why Nathan was sometimes misunderstood. And from this misunderstanding, he also received quite an amount of hate from ‘fans’, ‘rival fans’ and from other people too.

------

But the boys remained unaware of the hate that Nathan was receiving until they went to an interview. From the first minute of the interview itself, they noticed that the interviewer was not too fond of Nathan. Throughout the interview, Nathan had been fidgeting a lot. He had forgotten to take his medicines and it was making him a bit jittery. And interviewer wasn’t taking it too kindly.

“Can you please sit still? Do you need the bathroom or what?” the interviewer whisper-yelled at the boy.

When Max raised an eyebrow at the guy, he forced a smile as he whispered to Nathan, “we’ll soon go in break, then you can go to the bathroom.”

As soon as they cut to the commercials, Max handed Nathan a pill, knowing very well that it was his ADHD acting up. Nathan sighed as he took the meds, bracing himself for the side effects.

------

But the boys didn’t think much of the interviewer’s distaste for Nathan until the man started asking a few questions that were not only rude but quite hurtful too.

“Nathan, recently there has been a lot of news about you snapping at fans or being too lethargic or uninterested at gigs and concerts. What would you say about that?” the interviewer asked.

“He isn’t doing that on purpose. It’s just his ADHD messing with him sometimes” Jay explained, instead of Nathan.

“Oh you have ADHD?” the man asked, an obvious disgust in his tone.

And that’s when Nathan snapped.

“So what huh? So what if have ADHD? It’s not a disease that would spread if you talk to me! I’m done with this hate towards me because of my ADHD. I get it that I’m a bit different from you guys but it’s not that hard to understand. It’s just that my emotions go out of control sometimes or I get it fidgety and can’t hold focus for a long time. I’m not being lazy. I’m not being a rude star who let fame get to him. It’s just my ADHD” Nathan shouted, voice cracking in the end as a tear rolled down his tears.

His bandmates were left gaping at the boy as Nathan stormed out.

------

They had all shouted at the interviewer and refused to ever do an interview with them. They followed Nathan out and managed to catch up with him in the car. They all sighed when they saw the boy crying his heart out in the car.

“Side effects of the meds?” Jay asked.

“They all hate me” Nathan sobbed.

“That and also the hate. Something that the kid forgot to tell us” Max sighed.

“The fans hate me because of my ADHD” Nathan hiccupped.

“Nath, you know this buddy. The ones who hate aren’t real fans” Siva said, tucking the kid in his side.

“Siva’s right kiddo. The ones who know you will accept you with and without the ADHD. They are the ones who love you and they are the ones who should matter to you” Tom said.

“Like you guys?” Nathan asked.

“Absolutely kiddo” Tom smiled, pulling Nathan in a hug and the others joined in the hug too, earning a smile from Nathan.

------

Somehow the fans had gotten clips of the interview despite it not being telecasted and by the next day, it was trending all over twitter. A lot of their fans had come forward to support Nathan. A lot of their fans had been very supportive of Nathan’s ADHD. And Nathan, he got on with his day, knowing that he needs to focus on the love and support rather than on the hate. His bandmates were there to remind him of that every day.

Not so innocent anymore

Prompt - Hey, could u do a the wanted one shot for my birthday June 2, Nathan centric, where he goes to Jay for advice on sex & Siva hears and flips out completely because Nathan’s young and is much more of… well.. A child (?) than the rest of the band

Prompt - Hey i was thinking of a prompt based on the pic of Nath and jay that max took on Nath’s B’day. Can you do one based on that and how Jay feels really sad that Nath has grown up and remembers how he used to carry Nath around and let him sit on his lap. Lots of brotherly love between them and when max took the pic jay wanted Nath to be on his lap and remember when he used to be that 15/16 year old he met a long time ago thnx

 ------

Nathan had been very young when he got in The Wanted band. Well, he was in his teens plus he was much younger than the other boys. He had clung to Jay through the early days and both of them developed quite a bond. It didn’t take long for him to start getting along with the other boys too. In fact his young age had the boys being very overprotective regarding him. With time, The Wanted grew famous, Nathan grew up but he was still seen as a child by his bandmates.

------

It was Jay who first realized that Nathan might not actually be that little kid anymore. It was on Nathan’s birthday when Jay realized that Nathan had quite grown over these years. He had quite pestered Nathan that day with embarrassing stories.

“Do you remember when I used to carry you around? You were this tall? Or should I say this much short” Jay teased.

“Stop” Nathan blushed.

“Do you remember you used to sit on Jay’s lap in the car or in interviews? How sweet was it?” Tom added.

Nathan glared at Tom, mentally whispering ‘Don’t add on!’

“I have an idea. Why don’t you sit on Jay’s lap again for a picture?” Max said, grabbing his phone for a picture.

Nathan sighed but could barely say a word before Jay pulled him to sit on his lap. He was, soon though, giggling along with the older boy, posing for the picture.

Nathan chased Max when the man threatened to post the picture with caption ‘our baby’ while the others laughed.

“He has grown quite much, huh?” Jay realized.

“Nah, he hasn’t” Siva denied.

Nathan was still the kid! He couldn’t have grown that much, right?

------

Siva was in for a shock though when weeks later, he overheard Nathan asking Jay advice about a topic that Siva hardly ever thought that he’ll hear from Nathan’s mouth.

“Did I just hear you ask for condoms?” Siva gasped.

As Nathan went red in face, Jay chuckled softly.

“Oh my God, Nathan, listen to me! Are you being forced? Is it a girl or a boy? You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Just tell me who it is? I won’t let anyone take wrong advantage of you kiddo. Just let me know” Siva asked, hands over Nathan’s shoulder as he talked to the boy.

“I… I’m not… Nobody is forcing me, geez! I know her for long, we’ve been dating for a while and we’re both adults for god’s sake. Besides it’s not my first time” Nathan huffed, the tip of his ears were a bright color of red.

Siva looked taken back by Nathan’s words.

“I can confirm it’s not his first time” Jay said, throwing his head back and laughing out loud.

“Well, he grew up huh?” Max said.

“Not so innocent, huh?” Tom mumbled, sharing a look with Max before laughing.

Nathan decided to just get out of the room as quickly as possible.

------

Nathan was practically a young kid when he joined them and for the boys he’d always be seen as a kid. That’s perhaps why it came as a shock for them to hear Nathan and the word sex in the same sentence. For them, Nathan was still the sweet little innocent kid and it was kind of difficult for them to picture the kid as someone who could have a sex life. There youngest one wasn’t so innocent anymore but no matter what, he would still be their kid.

The nagging negative thoughts

Prompt - Hello, I love your one shots and it’s my birthday on April 7th and I’d love it if you could write a TW one shot where Nathan is suicidal and he overdosed one night after going to bed early and bumps into his bandmates when he goes to the living room & he just starts puking and the boys help him and then they take him to his room and see the pills & they flip and help him and talk him through it and maybe take him to hospital?

 ------

There are times when you are so down with whatever is going in your life that you feel like giving up. It was exactly what was going on with Nathan. There was not just one reason behind Nathan feeling like putting an end to his life. Having had a hard childhood, Nathan thought that being part of a band will help him out but the stress, the fame and the constant juggle between hate and love from fans never made it easier for him. Already in a fragile frame of mind, Nathan thought that there was no use for him to continue suffering.

------

Nathan never thought he was suicidal. He always had these negative feelings but he never realized where these thoughts were pushing him to. But these thoughts kept piling on him. It was not one particular thing. It was just that Nathan had this habit of putting himself down.

Sat in interviews, he always thought of how he didn’t fit in the band and how the others were much better than him.

In photo-shoots, he always thought of how fit his bandmates were and would get very conscious of his body.

Whenever his bandmates threw parties, Nathan thought of how he actually doesn’t fit anywhere near the boys.

And when you get across people who actually add fuel to such thoughts, then it was difficult to ignore them.

------

Lately, the boy had come across a few hate tweets, hate-filled letters in the fan mail and he actually met some people who kept trying to tell him that he was not good enough for the band while some tried to persuade him to go solo. These all piled up on Nathan and actually started messing with him. It was perhaps not really that drastic but all it took was the boys throwing a party without telling Nathan and casually throwing a sentence which put Nathan quite on the edge.

“It’s not like you’d join the party so we didn’t bother to tell you” Jay had let it slip from his mouth, shrugging when Siva shook his head at him.

Nathan gave them a smile that had Tom and Max sharing a look but unfortunately, they didn’t think much about it.

------

Jay didn’t mean anything bad when he said so. They knew that the younger one didn’t like the parties a lot. In fact, they themselves thought that since Nathan couldn’t drink and all, it was better for him to not be a part of such parties. Being one who’d stay in his room for the whole long of the party, they thought that he wouldn’t bother about such a party again. But the little guy looked a bit upset about Jay’s words to him.

Nathan really wouldn’t have taken mind of Jay’s words but the kind of thoughts that were already bothering him, piled on more reasons to the ‘I’m useless’ list.

He tried to shut the train of his thoughts and just go to sleep but since the thoughts were quite bothering him, he decided to take a few sleeping pills.

He just wanted to sleep but when he took a few pills, he felt tempted to swallow down all of the pills.

It was only after he had overdosed himself that Nathan felt he shouldn’t have done so.

------

Whether it was his clouded and overdosed mind that messed up with his judgments or that Nathan felt he had goofed up on this one, Nathan found himself wandering downstairs in search of his bandmates.

In his sleepy state, Nathan collided with quite a few drunk people on his way downstairs. With a queasy stomach, it didn’t take long for him to start feeling like throwing up.

Jay saw Nathan stumbling downstairs and he thought of apologizing to the boy in case if he minded Jay’s earlier words but when he approached the boy, he found the kid looking a bit drowsy.

“Look Nath, about earlier… Are you drunk?” Jay asked.

Nathan chose the exact time to gag and start throwing up.

“Whoa easy there tiger. Who gave you a drink?” Jay asked, before waving to Siva who hurried to get Tom and Max as Jay ushered the boy upstairs.

He wondered what was wrong with Nathan since he really didn’t smell like booze.

------

Once he got Nathan to his room, he guided the boy to the bathroom and let him throw up. He heard the boys running to the room.

“Is he okay?” Siva asked.

“Is he drunk? Did he drink a lot or what?” Max asked.

“He doesn’t smell like having had a drink” Jay let them know.

“Must be sick. Come on Nath, you have stop throwing up buddy. You literally have nothing left in your stomach” Siva said.

Concerned, Tom looked around in the room and saw the bottle of sleeping pills.

“Nath, did you take this?” Tom asked as he barged into the bathroom but he didn’t need answer once he saw the boy look away from the bottle.

Sighing, Max shook his head, “get him to throw up some more. I’ll take the car out. We can’t take a risk with this. He needs a hospital.”

The sighs around him and the concerned faces made Nathan felt guiltier if he could.

------

Once they got to the hospital, Nathan had to have his stomach purged. He remained asleep for quite a while after the purging and woke up to quiet murmurs around him.

“How could we have not known?” Jay cursed himself.

“He’s just a kid after all. He must have been feeling really low” Siva sighed.

“How did we miss out on the signs?” Max groaned.

“It’s not your fault” Nathan whispered.

“What brought this on?” Tom asked.

“Everything” Nathan croaked out, voice breaking as the tears rolled down his cheeks before he could even provide some explanations.

“It is okay buddy” Jay sighed, patting the boy’s arm.

“Calm down. We got you. Nothing happened to you” Siva reassured him.

“We just have to work on this not happening ever again” Max pointed out.

“Think about us, about you mum, your sister. It’s not worth it. What would we have felt if we would have been staring at your corpse right now?” Tom put it out frankly.

“Don’t…” Nathan sobbed, the guilt catching up to him.

He was pulled into a group hug as the boy felt himself finally let go of his frustrations, fears, the nagging negative thoughts and guilt.

------

Once Nathan got out of the hospital, he noticed that the boys were watching every step of his. The hate-filled messages and letters had disappeared from the mail box. His twitter feeds was filled with #GetWellSoon tweets as his fans were told that he had overdosed himself by mistake. His family had come visit him and somehow Nathan found himself feeling a lot better. Maybe this incident was needed for him to finally overcome those nagging negative thoughts.

Crying wolf (Part 2)

Prompt - I was wondering if you could do a part two to crying wolf. Where maybe he has one while the boys are out and they thought he was pretending again because they had all been pranking each other? You don’t have to but part one was incredible! Xx

Prompt - Hi, can you do a part two to crying wolf? That's my favorite one. And can it be related to Nathan's asthma again? Thank you XD

 ------

Nathan should have known not to cry wolf again. He’d been through it once.  Crying wolf was one of the alternatives he chose when he started feeling left out by the boys and while at first it worked to his favor, the next time he cried wolf, he landed himself at the hospital. Crying wolf proved dangerous for him and you’d think he learnt his lesson but that didn’t stop from the boy to cry wolf again when he got the opportunity. And once again it proved costly for him.

------

It was all because of a prank war. A prank war that was common between The Wanted boys but somehow it got dragged to the point where Nathan decided to pull up his crying wolf stunt again. He was tired of being a constant victim of the boys’ pranks. He had been a victim of the cold shower prank and much more. But Nathan had enough of it now. When he heard that the boys were going to lock him out of their house as part of their prank. But Nathan had a weapon in his hand. His crying wolf act!

------

Nathan acted as per the boys’ plans itself and let himself be locked out of the house as per the prank. And once he was out, after a few minutes, he put his own plans in action. He coughed a bit and found Jay looking over at him. He coughed a bit more to gain the others’ attention before sinking to his knees to perfect his act.

“Shit, the kid is having an asthma attack” Jay gasped, running to open the door.

“Are you okay, kiddo?” Max asked.

Once Nathan saw all the boys outside, he made a dash for the door and locked the others outside.

“Got you” the boy cheered from inside the house.

“This boy and his crying wolf acts” Tom sighed.

“He just wouldn’t learn, huh” Jay huffed.

Nathan stuck his tongue out, mocking the boys.

------

Seriously, Nathan just didn’t learn from his previous stunts. A few days later, the boys were out on their way to a club. Nathan hadn’t at all wanted to go to the club. He wasn’t feeling too good for some reason but he also didn’t want to be left back at home and hence he found himself being dragged along with the boys. He whined on entire way to the club and coughed a bit, shivering in the cold. Siva had given him a concerned look but said nothing. Just when they were about to get inside the club, Nathan started heaving as he sank to his knees but unfortunately for him, the boys thought he was faking it.

------

“Again Nath?” Max huffed.

“Stop this drama, kid. There are people around” Jay sighed.

“Asthma…” Nathan croaked out.

“We’ve been through this kiddo. Not going to fall for it” Tom said.

Nathan could feel himself losing grip on consciousness as he continued heaving but then he felt his inhaler being pressed to his mouth.

It took a couple of hits but the boy was finally able to breathe and when he looked up he found Siva holding the inhaler.

Thank goodness for Siva to be keeping a calm and reasonable head amidst all this.

------

“Shit, it was actually an asthma attack” Jay cursed.

“Told you! This crying wolf would lead you nowhere” Tom sighed.

“Sorry” Nathan gasped as he let Max pull him up.

“You should be thankful that Siva believed you” Max said as he started leading the boy back to the car.

“Thanks” Nathan rasped as they started driving back home.

“Stop the crying wolf acts, Nath” Siva said, shaking his head.

Nathan had the decency to look sheepish.

------

The crying wolf act would certainly lead Nathan nowhere and the sooner he understands it, the less messy situations he would get himself caught in.

Cover up for you

Prompt - Hey my birthday is the 3 of July and I was wondering if you could do the one of Nathan having ADHD and the lads helping him out during the interview

Prompt - Hellooooooo! I'm just in love with all of your writings and I was wondering if you could do a Wanted Fic about Nathan having ADHD and the boys try to help him pay attention through an interview because he didn't take his medication??? Thanks and Love Yaaaaa!

Prompt - Hi, can you do a one shot about Nathan having ADHD?

 ------

Nathan had been very apprehensive about his ADHD. He always felt that his condition was holding him back. His family had always had his back and always pushed him to follow his dreams. That’s how the boy was able to make his place in The Wanted band. He never hid his health issue from his bandmates and thankfully, they became his biggest support system. After knowing about Nathan’s ADHD, the boys got even more protective of their youngest one.

------

Nathan usually was very careful about his ADHD medicines. He knew skipping one dose meant risking your health. Not only was Nathan careful about his medications, the boys also kept a watchful eye over the kid. They would make sure the boy was okay. They would remind Nathan to take his medicines or keep a note of when he needed a refill. But this time, they had all been too busy to even keep track of their own things let alone remembering about Nathan’s medicines. And it had to be the only time when Nathan forgot to refill.

------

They had a day full of interviews. All that the boys did for that day was walk out of an interview and into another one. Nathan could feel himself getting slightly agitated. He hadn’t been able to take his meds in the morning and thought that maybe later he’d get a few moments to just pop the pills in but instead he found himself staring at an empty bottle of meds. His own eyes went wide as he clutched the bottle and looked up to Max who was mirroring his expressions.

“Shit” Max cursed.

And it was Nathan’s exact feeling.

------

“His meds are over” Max informed the boys.

“We need a refill” Siva said.

“Kev went to get his meds. I think Nathan should sit this interview out” Tom suggested.

“No, I can do the interview. Besides Kev took the car, I can’t return home” Nathan insisted.

“Boys, you’re going in five minutes” someone informed them.

The boys shared a look with each other before Jay sighed, “We’ll have to keep an eye on him.”

This interview was going to be just the boys watching over their youngest for sure.

------

Throughout the interview, the boys kept an eye over their younger one. They tried their best to answer every question and tried to divert the attention from Nathan. Nathan on the other hand tried hard to not bring any attention to him but he couldn’t help but fidget.

Max sighed as he watched over the boy and then without trying to draw any attention towards them, he tugged on the boy’s hand, bringing Nathan to rest his head against his shoulder.

Nathan closed his eyes, feeling Max’s hand around his shoulder while Siva squeezed his knee.

When the interviewer looked at them curiously, Max mumbled, “He’s got a bit of a headache. We’ve been dead tired lately.”

The interviewer silently cooed at Nathan as the boys tried to wrap up the interview as quick as possible.

------

As they made their way to the car, Nathan had gone from fidgeting to tired as hell. As soon as Kev handed them the meds, Tom made Nathan take a pill and let the boy rest his head against his shoulder again.

“Thank god the interview is over” Jay sighed.

“And thank god we got the meds” Max added.

“Haven’t we told him to tell us when the meds are over?” Siva asked.

“Clearly we’ll have to keep a better eye on him” Tom huffed.

And that’s exactly what they promised to do; keep an eye over their little brother.

------

His ADHD might mess with him often but he had bandmates who’d always cover up for him. They’d always have his back just like big brothers are supposed to do.

Bullying is never okay

Prompt - Hi, could you do a The Wanted one where the boys keep inviting one of the crew round to hang out with them but then he starts to bully Nathan, and then the other boys find out and they get really angry and protective of him? Thank you

 ------

You know that one person who is best of friends with your elder siblings but is forever mean to you? Well, that one person was currently ruining Nathan’s life. Recently, The Wanted boys had gotten very close to one the crew members. One of their tour sound crew, had become good friends with the boys. Well, the boys minus Nathan. Neither did Nathan like the guy nor did the guy like Nathan. But he could hardly do anything about it.

------

For one, Nathan never said anything about the guy being mean to him. So the boys had no idea that their good friend was being a bully to their youngest bandmate. After all, whenever Corey, their sound crew guy, was with any of them, he was just a regular fun guy but whenever he was alone with Nathan, he was nothing more than of a bully. The guy had two sides and unfortunately, none of the elder boys had noticed his mean side towards their youngest one.

------

In fact the boys wouldn’t have gotten a clue of what was going on, if they hadn’t caught on the little clues. Jay had been the first one to pick on the fact that Corey wasn’t as good friends with Nathan as he was with them. But Corey was quick to brush off those questions.

“He’s too young. You guys are closer to my age so maybe that’s why. Maybe Nathan likes friends of his age. You know, he’s just a child after all.” Corey had said.

Siva, on the other hand, had been the first one to notice that whenever Corey was around, Nathan’s expressions would change. The boy would get very jumpy and try to avoid Corey at any cost. He’d put his hand on Nathan’s shoulder once, only to have the boy jump nearly a foot high.

“Dude, relax! It’s just me” Siva mumbled, squeezing the boy’s shoulder.

But Nathan only nodded, throwing a smile to assure Siva.

But it was Max and Tom who caught up on what was really going.

------

The boys had been rehearsing for their next concert when Tom noticed the absence of their youngest bandmate.

“Where’s Nathan?” Tom asked.

“He went to the bathroom and it’s gotten quite long now” Jay realized.

“He looked a bit jumpy, you know.” Siva informed the guys.

“I’ll go look for him” Max suggested.

“I’ll come along” Tom said.

And minutes later, they were horrified to find Corey pinning Nathan to the wall in the bathroom.

------

“You little shit, the boys are getting doubts on me. They’ve been wondering why you and I are not friends? Little do they know that I don’t want to be friends with a child like you…?” Corey shouted.

“Why don’t you tell them so?” Nathan retorted back.

“Acting smart, huh? I tell them that so that they stop being friends with me? I don’t need you but I do need them you know? Get some favors from them” Corey sniggered.

“You’re pathetic! You’re just using them” Nathan accused.

“Didn’t I ever tell you that I don’t like it when kids talk a lot” Corey warned as he drew his fist to punch Nathan.

But before he could do so, a voice came from behind them.

“Hey” Max shouted as he charged on the guy, pulling him off Nathan.

“What the hell is going on here?” Tom asked as he pulled Nathan to his side, “are you okay, kiddo?”

“What happened?” Siva asked as he and Jay came running when they heard the ruckus.

“Nathan, he bullied you before?” Jay asked.

And when the little guy nodded, Max lost it.

Jay and Siva had to literally pull Max off Corey.

“Just get out of here” Tom yelled at Corey, standing protectively in front of Nathan when the guy glared at the little boy.

Clearly, they needed to pay a closer look to their friends, especially if their youngest one doesn’t seem to be too fond of the friend.

------

They tried telling Nathan that he needed to tell them if someone was bullying him but Nathan was adamant that he could handle such things on his own.

“You need to tell us when someone if being mean to you” Siva said.

“It wasn’t that bad” Nathan sheepishly answered back.

“Bullying is never okay! Speak up and we’ll help you. Silently suffering will only encourage your bullies” Tom explained to Nathan.

Getting a nod from the boy was the only thing that allowed them to let out a sigh.

But this only meant that they would have to be careful and always watch the boy’s back. And maybe teach him that bullying is never okay.

The things you’ve got do for the youngest!

Prompt - Can you do one where Nathan is embarrassed when the boys are drunk BC he feels like they need to sober up a little, Kevin, Nano, scooter and the girls notice that he’s embarrassed and when Nathan is out of the room they confront the boys about it and they shout at each other and after a while the boys go up to Nathan’s room to talk to him about it xoxo

 ------

Nathan seriously had a lot of adjusting to do when he got in The Wanted band. Being the youngest, he found that he had to struggle quite a bit at the beginning. Be it to stay away from home or to adapt to the schedule and public appearance, Nathan did have much on his plate to get used to. But the biggest problem for him was that while he as the youngest had to stay away from alcohol, his elder bandmates seemed to be making getting drunk their habit, unaware of the embarrassment they were causing their youngest bandmate.

------

Nathan has nothing against the parties or the late nights. Granted, he couldn’t drink in those parties, but he had to admit the boys throw some good parties. The fan get together, the occasional parties where they’d allow some of their fans to meet them or those parties when they’d be able to just forget their packed schedule for a while, were simply great ideas. While Nathan appreciated that, he hated though how those parties would end up. He wasn’t quite a big fan of how the boys would end up so drunk that they couldn’t walk, where they’d make out with anyone. And while the boys had yet to understand the side effects of their colorful parties, Nathan had been quietly dealing with the embarrassment.

------

This evening also the boys had thrown a party. Nathan had stopped keeping track of the reasons for such parties. It started up fun and soon the boys were completely drunk. Tom, Max and Jay had been absolutely knackered and the usually calm and composed Siva was also drunk.

“A drink Nath?” Someone had offered Nathan but before he could say something the boys had cut him off.

“Nope none for him” Siva said.

“He’s still a baby right now. No drinks for him” Tom teased.

“Don’t tease the baby. He is not yet up to the drinking age” Jay chuckled.

“Aww, Baby Nath” Max laughed, planting a kiss on Nathan’s cheek.

Nathan smiled, grimacing slightly as he walked away from the boys and to his room, unaware that Kelsey and Nareesha had seen him.

------

Nareesha too wasn’t so fond of these parties but unlike her, Kelsey usually was part of these things but recently she also noticed Nathan’s reaction to the boys getting drunk. Sharing a look with Nareesha, Kelsey signaled to Nathan’s room.

Hearing his bedroom open, Nathan sighed as he spoke without looking up, “not right now, boys. I’m tired. I want to sleep. You continue with your party.”

“You tired of the party or tired of being around the boys when they are drunk?” Kelsey bluntly asked.

“I… no…” Nathan stammered.

“You don’t like when they get so drunk, right?” Nareesha asked.

“It’s embarrassing” Nathan admitted.

Nodding, Kelsey looked over at Nareesha. They had to do something. For Nathan, at least.

------

Nareesha’s idea had been to talk to the boys and Kelsey opted for letting Scooter, Nano and Kevin also know about the situation.

When they told the boys about how embarrassed Nathan gets whenever the boys got so drunk, it had turned into a shouting match.

The boys had been very angry when Scooter and Nano suggested that they cut back on the parties and drinking. But then Kevin reminded them of Nathan.

Hours later, the boys were sheepishly sitting next to Nathan, unaware how to address the situation.

“Us being drunk gets you embarrassed sometimes, huh?” Siva asked.

“Sorry, we never really thought what effects those could have on you” Max said.

“I’m not a kid” Nathan cut Max off.

Tom raised an eyebrow at Nathan before saying, “okay, how about we promise not to get that drunk?”

“I’ll be happy if you guys just be a little sober sometimes you know” Nathan mumbled.

“That we can do” Jay said.

“Well, the things you’ve got to do for the youngest” Max sighed, ruffling Nathan’s hair.

The smile that Nathan gave them in return was all worth it.

------

Stopping the parties and drinks completely would be a serious trouble but the least they could do was not have so many parties and get badly drunk every time. The things you’ve got to do for the youngest!

There’s always a next time

Prompt - Can you do a TW one shot where they go to a waterpark and Nath can't swim? But when Max tries to put a life jacket on him he says he doesn't want it because it's embarrassing. So the boys tell Nath that if he's gonna go in the pool one of them have to be holding him and when Siva is holding him in the water he accidently swallows a bunch of water and has an asthma attack.

 ------

Having a mansion in LA with a pool in it and not being able to go in that pool just because you don’t know swimming is seriously awful. Being so close to the water and not being able to go into it, is really a hard blow. The water looked nice. The boys looked to be having fun in the pool but yet Nathan couldn’t enjoy. And the only reason for that was that Nathan couldn’t swim. But if not being able to get in the pool at home had been hard for Nathan then a trip to the waterpark had Nathan regretting not learning how to swim.

------

The boys had noticed how Nathan’s mood dropped at the waterpark. Clearly, he was getting bored sitting by the pool watching the boys.

“Nathan, come on in buddy” Jay tried convincing Nathan to get in the pool.

“Come on, look how fun it is in the water” Tom tempted the boy.

“You wanna go in?” Max asked the boy.

When Nathan shrugged, Max sighed as he fished out a life jacket and handed it to the boy.

“No” Nathan said, hurriedly shoving the life jacket back at Max.

Max had a good idea why Nathan was refusing the life jacket as he followed the boy’s line of vision to see a Dad getting a life jacket on his toddler.

“It’s embarrassing” Nathan mumbled.

Hiding a smile, Max simply said, “You’re not getting in the water without a life jacket. If you do want to get in, just be close to us. We’ll hold onto you.”

Nathan nodded, settling down at a distance to watch the boys.

------

It didn’t take long for Nathan to shyly approach the pool. Tom saw the boy approaching them and signaled to Siva who was the closest to the boy to get the boy.

“You finally want to get in?” Siva smiled at the boy.

The boy gave a shy nod, letting Siva help him in the water.

At first, Nathan panicked a little but Siva was quick to hold the boy up.

“Relax. If you panic, you’ll swallow the water. Just relax. I won’t let go of you.” Siva assured the boy.

Nathan’s panic of the water got the best of him though. Limbs flailing, he tried his best to stay up as Siva tried getting the boy out of the water but he had already swallowed mouthful of water.

“Get him out Seev” Max shouted.

When Siva managed to get the boy out, he noticed that the boy was having an asthma attack.

------

“Nathan, breathe” Siva shouted as he sat the boy down on the pool side.

“Easy… Easy… Let him cough the water out, first” Tom instructed.

Siva patted the boy’s back, letting him cough up.

“Get his inhaler” Max shouted.

Jay got the boy’s inhaler and handed it to him as he helped him take a puff out of the inhaler.

“You okay buddy?” Tom asked.

“Yeah” Nathan shakily answered.

“I’m sorry buddy, I couldn’t hold you up properly” Siva apologized.

“Not your fault. I panicked” Nathan whispered.

“I think it is better we get back home now” Max suggested as the boys decided it was enough of adventure for the day.

Nathan looked back longingly at the water as Tom patted his back, “there’s always a next time buddy.”

------

Panicking in water is what caused Nathan to swallow mouthful of the water and ended up having an asthma attack. Thus they had to cut their trip short but Nathan had nothing to be sad about, after all, there’s always a next time.
