Who: Nick and Harry Matheson
What: Should've knocked louder
Where: Home, NYC
When: Late Thursday morning

Since Harry was diagnosed with diabetes, some days he struggled to get going in the morning. Nick or Cheyne had to help him a lot, coaxing him to eat, helping with his insulin injections. Harry was still struggling with those things. He managed most days now he knew what he was doing, but not all days were good days. It was still something Nick would never have wished on his baby brother. Unfortunately, it was something that ran in their family on their dad's side and it was one of those things you just had to accept as your lot in life.

That day, Harry had a slew of medical appointments at the hospital to get his medical clearance to return to his training at Joffrey. Physically, he was in excellent condition because he kept doing things like yoga and swimming to stay healthy in every other way. He wasn't a fan of the restricted diet, but whatever it took to stay alive and not end up comatose again. Nick thought that how late Harry was sleeping that it was probably a bad day, meaning he would have to intervene to get him up so he had plenty of time to shower, eat, have his medication.

When he knocked on Harry's bedroom door, there was no answer. So, he just opened the door and waltzed inside, as you did when you thought you had to wake someone up. It rapidly became evident that he wasn't privy to a whole story here when he walked right into his little brother getting it on with someone in his bed. "Haz! Che cazzo!" he shrieked, slapping his hands over his eyes and shooting back out of his brother's bedroom, slamming the door closed behind him. He didn't even realise Harry had anyone over, whether for the night or they had arrived early in the morning before Nick woke up. Whatever it was, Harry was very much not alone.

Stressed, Nick hurried into the kitchen because he needed more coffee. He needed booze, really, but because of his own diabetes, he didn't drink. He didn't have time to see Harry's guest was. There had just been a slight scream and yell from the pair of them when they were walked in on and when Nick departed the room, Harry was snapping at him. "OH MY GOD, NICKY! YOU NEED TO KNOCK!" Right now, Nick 100% agreed with that. He had knocked but he suddenly realised he needed to learn how to knock a whole lot louder. It wasn't like he didn't know his baby brother was no longer a virgin. Far from it. But it was still his baby brother and this was going to lead to probably the most awkward conversation. If Harry didn't give him the silent treatment for not knocking for the next six months.

Who: Richie Jameson and Nick Matheson with Harry Matheson
What: Results
Where: Pediatrics Unit, Mount Sinai
When: Saturday morning

It was always tough for Richie when he had patients he personally knew. Harry was the first patient handed to him when he got to work early that morning, and he had only been admitted to the ward from the ER for about 45 minutes at that point. Because Adrian was away for work, he had gotten up earlier than he normally would so he could visit his new baby nephew for a bit. Richie only had relative recent knowledge of being an uncle, first to a gorgeous little niece, and now a brand new nephew, . He fucking loved being an uncle, and all things considered, was doing well when his life had been under threat when he was born.

Harry was transferred to his care first thing, and Richie hit the ground running with the case. He had already been hooked up to intensive fluid therapy because his blood work showed some dangerous signs of depletion, all potential indicators that a confirmed diagnosis of Type I Diabetes could well be inevitable. Richie ordered an epic fuckton of tests on the kid to cover all basis, and had one of the nurses take as detailed a medical history and family medical history from Nick as they could. Richie knew Nick was a diabetic. That genetic link alone put Harry into a risk category.

Richie hoped like hell they might identify some other resolvable cause of the sharp spike in Harry’s blood sugars... )

Who: Nick Matheson, Cheyne Rousseau, and Harry Matheson
What: Big Brothering
Where: Home @ NYC
When: Friday night

Nick was having trouble falling asleep. It was his job as a big brother to worry, but Harry was so out of sorts, he was wondering if his call to wait until tomorrow to get Harry seen by a doctor was the best move. He had made an appointment with Walker, who was going to do a home visit because he wasn’t in the surgery that Saturday. Walker’s over-the-phone advice had been much of what Cheyne had though… get him to drink some more to rehydrate and put him to bed. Harry had been shaky and teary when Nick got back to the apartment. Cheyne had only just gotten him home. The exhaustion was visible. Harry was wrecked.

He managed a cup of tea and half a bottle of orange juice, but that was it. All he wanted was to go to sleep. He kept saying it over and over. When Nick tried to coax more fluids into him, that was the tearful responses he was getting. Sleep was definitely top of the priority list. After Nick carried his baby brother to bed. Harry had gotten up from the sofa and stumbled into the glass coffee table. If Cheyne had swiftly grabbed him with his quick reflexes, Harry could have crashed into it and hurt himself badly. It was seeing that which had Nick calling Walker for advice.

Cheyne was sleeping because he worked fucking hard at two jobs... )

"You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life." - Unknown

There was never a time in Harry's career as a dancer did he want to quit, but all week, he wanted to give up. Rehearsal after rehearsal, class after class. Finals were upon then. Which was one thing in his busy schedule. He hadn't been remembering to eat, but lost his appetite anyway. On top of that, he had another lead in a production that he had been working so hard on that he had no time left for anything else. He went from class during the day to rehearsing during the evenings, and would come home and go straight to bed. He hadn't even remembered to shower some days.

Then he stopped being able to sleep, because all the stress and anxiety seemed to build up as soon as he got into bed... )

Watching my fiancé train my baby brother in a mindblowing dance to Carmina Burana: O Fortuna. Incredible. I'm speechless. How do I share genes with that kid, and how does his choreographer want to marry me?

So, 16 years ago today, Mom and Dad put this bundle of awesome in my arms and told me that Christmas had come early, and Santa decided to finally bring me a baby brother I had been asking for for 10 years. And he was the best little brother and guy could ask for.

Happy Sweet 16th, Haz! Never change, fratellino. I couldn't be more proud of you if I tried.

Who: Nick Matheson and Cheyne Rousseau
What: Romance Bucket List
Where: Monet's Garden, France
When: Saturday afternoon

"Do you know that this is something I have always wanted to do with a lover?" Nick was saying with a smile as he walked hand-in-hand with Cheyne through Monet's Garden. Monet was one of his favourite artists. He had studied him and his work extensively, and was currently working on a PhD thesis about him. This wasn't the first time he had been to the Garden. He had come previously on family trips to Europe, but ever since then, he had truly fantasised about bringing the person he loved here to experience the atmosphere of it with company.

It was a gorgeous day. Not too hot, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. A soft breeze was blowing, showcasing the beauty of the flowers and plants in the garden. The trip to France with Cheyne was a special one. It was their first trip together, and they were alone. Cheyne had spent the last few days taking Nick around all the places in France special to him from growing up, including the place he had been born and where he taken his first ever ballet lessons. It was amazing. Nick was cherishing every minute, and it kept hitting him how lucky he was to have met Cheyne via Harry the day of Harry's Joffrey audition. It had changed his life.

He brought Cheyne's hand up to his lips and kissed the back of. It was merely a hint of affection before he was pulling him flush against in a deep kiss. "I love you," he murmured against Cheyne's lips. He was smiling when he continued the kiss. He was pretty sure nothing could top this moment. It was bucket list proportions right here.

Sometimes, people get lucky enough to fall so deeply in love, that when you're so proud of your partner, it feels like your heart is bursting so much it hurts. Just check out how amazing my lover is. There aren't even enough words. If you've got someone you love this much, hold on and don't let go.

Who: Cheyne Rousseau and Nick Matheson
What: When you're so tired, you forget you had a date
Where: Nick and Harry's place
When: Tuesday evening

"Oh god, I'm so sorry," Cheyne was saying hurriedly as soon as Nick answered the door to him. "I got home after work and made the mistake of sitting on the sofa for a couple of minutes before I was going to take a shower, and I fell asleep." He took Nick's hands and gave him a kiss. He was kicking himself for his fail because they had planned this date night for weeks now. Cheyne had been away performing all week, and then had teaching on Monday and Tuesday at Joffrey, so they arranged to have this night together to catch up after it. His phone ringing in his pocket is what woke him from the unplanned nap, and Nick had been calling in a panic that Cheyne had been hurt or something. Needless to say, Cheyne felt terrible.

He had his bag over his shoulder, preparing to stay the night like Nick invited him to on the phone when they realised their date time had been taking by Cheyne's fail. "Let me make it up to you, mon amour. I can't believe what a dick I was. I've been looking forward to this days," he said, shaking his head.

Wake up feeling kind of crappy, have to cancel date plans and go back to bed. Wake up later to said date checking on me with flowers and a cuddle during his work break. I swear to god, I've hit the jackpot.

That awkward moment when I have food poisoning and Caden sends Rhys to check after me. IDEK what to do, but I'm pretty sure I'm mostly just going to spend the whole time puking, and this is not at all how I was picturing the next time an attractive guy was in my apartment going down. I also don't know why I'm texting you, but if you have any advice, now would be a time when it would be very much appreciated.

Who: Nick Matheson and Matteo Lorenzi
What: Family matters
Where: Toronto, Canada
When: After THIS

Nick hadn't hesitated in booking flights to join Matteo on his tour for a week. The week would end with Matteo's show in Miami, so they would have a couple of days in Florida with the family next weekend. The arrangement now was that Cheyne would fly down with Harry, because Nick really wanted his boyfriend to meet his parents and sisters. It was perfect timing, and a reason to set things in stone or life could just keep getting in the way.

Harry was happy spending the week with Dani and Benny, and they loved having him. Nick didn't need to worry about that, and Dani was glad Nick was going to spend some one-on-one boy bonding time with Matteo. Matteo had admitted - after some nudging - that he wasn't feeling in top form emotionally. He could put up a good front for his work and behind incredible amounts of expensive fashion, but behind all that, Matteo needed his family and it was their job to be there for him to support him. They were all he had now his mother wasn't with them anymore.

Matteo had a suite in the hotel, so Nick was staying there with him as it had two rooms. He was tired after the flight and they were waiting on room service to arrive so Nick could eat and take his insulin. "Okay, so I need to know," he began from where he was lounging on the chaise lounge in the suite. "Would you ever consider dating and not just flings? Maybe that's why the loneliness is so amplified. You don't have someone to connect with more intimately. It's nice. When you get it right, it's really nice. You said yourself you liked Luka and had a connection to him, so you're not incapable. Is it something you would want?"
