third person pov

y/n has known the triplets since they were all about fourteen years old. she was the kid that showed up in the middle of the year, hailing from new york, shy and timid. she was seated at the back of the classroom beside some random boy that was seated behind two other boys that looked exactly like him. she sat there, aware of all the eyes on her and the hush-hush voices whirling around her. it wasn't long before the boy she was sat beside, introduced himself as nick, gesturing to the two in front of him and introducing them as matt and chris, letting the deduce the fact that they were triplets on her own.

when chris turned around to properly introduce himself, he found himself immediately drawn to her, wanting to befriend her as quickly as possible. however, the youngest and more outgoing triplet found it a struggle to befriend her within the first few months, growing frustrated at how quickly her and matt grew to be friends, an almost jealous-like feeling began swirling in the pit of his stomach until nick explained that chris was approaching it the wrong way, she was held back and anxious and chris was approaching the situation as if she was exactly like him.

over time, he was able to befriend the girl, a different type of friendship forming between the two as they navigated highschool together. chris felt the need to almost protect her the way he did his brothers, especially matt. he was quick to pick up on her discomfort in any social situations, quick to offer to leave together. he knew all the right tips and trick to counter any anxiety attacks that washed over her. he mainly wanted to make sure she felt safe and welcome in every scenario, not batting an eye at how he felt.

when y/n told chris after their graduation, that he was like a safety blanket to her throughout highschool, he felt his chest nearly explode from how much his heart had swelled with a sense of fulfillment. he liked hearing that he was her comfort person. from then on, the two were more than inseparable, the triplets even going as far to find a four bedroom house in los angeles to ensure that she always had a place to stay, even though she was normally found in either chris or matt's rooms, cuddled up in their blankets while the boys wreaked havoc among their own homes.

reader's pov

the triplets, madi and i were currently at nessa's place, celebrating the release of her song "tired of california". we had decided to have a small viewing party, consisting of nessa, sab, cynthia, the triplets, madi, a few of nessa's other friends and i. at first i felt okay with the growing group of people, however as more unfamiliar faces filled the living room, i started feeling slightly uncomfortable as the room grew increasingly crowded.

i felt my hands grow clammy as i searched through the sea of people, hoping to find chris, nick or matt, needing to talk to at least one of them in hopes to calm down. pushing through the group of people, i smiled briefly at the ones i knew, occasionally asking for chris or his brothers. i felt my chest loosen up as relief flooded my body at the sight of his shaggy brown hair, his thrown back as he laughed loudly at something nick did.
