Surf Club - Angelo's
"Did you do the drinks for table 11?" Lucas asks.
"Yep, these are for table 4." Kyle replies, placing the drinks on the tray in front of him.
"Okay." Lucas nods as Robert takes the drinks over. "When is Ricky due back from her break?"
"I thought she would have been back by now." Kyle lightly frowns as he glances at her watch. "Brax never said anything when we were in the office."
"What needed changing on the rota?" Lucas asks.
"Not a lot, Brax just wanted to check a few things now we're both managers." Kyle says. "You'll be doing your first solo weekend next week but I'll be on shift to help if you need it."
"I wouldn't know what to do. I'm not ready for that yet. I just wanted to take some of the stress off you doing double shifts all the time." Lucas says.
"You'll be fine. You'll just have to be the boss, so lose this nice attitude and don't let customers with no ID fool you into giving them drinks. We could lose our license if you're caught selling alcohol to under age people." Kyle says.
"Brax said you could learn from my nice attitude." Lucas comments.
"I can be nice." Kyle says.
"I didn't say you couldn't be nice." Lucas grins at him.
"Ricky's back." Kyle says to change the conversation as the blonde walks up to the bar.
"Hey boys, I see it's calmed down a little here." She says, glancing back at the couple empty tables.
"Till the next wave of tourists come in." Kyle says, glancing as Casey as he walks over to them, sitting at the bar.
"Hi." Casey mutters as he sits at the bar.
"Say hello." Ricky says to the two triplets.
"Hello." They say in unison, Kyle sarcastically smiling at her.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you, I was just struggling with the fact that we had more brothers around the place. You deserve just as much of Brax's attention, if not more." Casey says.
"Until the next time you decide to hate us." Kyle mutters.
"Kyle, just help me out here." Casey sighs. "I am sorry, okay?"
"This isn't the first time you've hated me for something. I don't see why I should believe that you're being serious about your apology." Kyle says. "I've got customers to serve. Don't give into him cause he won't change his attitude." He says to Lucas, not wanting him to be hurt when it happens again.
"Lucas?" Casey asks.
"I need to stock the fridge up." Lucas mutters, walking into the storeroom.
"Least I can say I tried." Casey mutters, walking to the door.
"Casey!" Ricky sighs, catching up with him to stop him, both of them stopping short of the stairs. "You have to give them some time to think over it. Kyle's right, this isn't the first time you've turned against him and he just needs your reassurance that you won't do this again. You were practically best friends before this. Try again another time and explain to them what you told me."
"Who's to say it will work when even Lucas, who is the kindest one out of all of us, can't even stand to look at me?" Casey moans. "I'll just be wasting my time."
"How many times have they tried making it up to you since you started being like this towards them?" Ricky asks.
"I don't know, quite a bit."
"Exactly, so do the same." Ricky says. "Maybe try with Tyler first, they may change their attitude if they see their oldest triplet has forgiven you."
"Fine." Casey nods.
Braxton House
"So Tyler has forgiven Casey?" Lucas asks.
"Yes." Ricky nods. "They spoke about it this afternoon."
"We all know who's idea it was." Kyle mutters, getting a whack over the head. "Ow!"
"Don't take it out on Ricky when she is doing what's best for this family." Brax says.
"Stop whacking me over the head or I'll start taking it out on you!" Kyle complains, not having meant to say it out loud to him.
"When did you start being like this?" Brax asks, firmly staring at him.
"Since everyone wants to get involved in my business. I don't see why we should have to stay here when Casey obviously isn't being real about putting the past in the past." Kyle says. "Plus you should be happy about us moving out because it means it won't be as cramped here and we'll be able to be triplets."
"You can be triplets here." Brax says. "I know it's not practical with us all here but it won't be forever."
"No, it won't be." Kyle mutters as Casey walks through the door after finishing his shift.
"Hi." Casey says, briefly glancing at his brothers before deciding to head to his room.
"Case, come back here." Brax says, Casey huffing something under his breath as he turns around, walking over to the couch.
"Yeah?" Casey asks.
"When are you going to stop this selfish attitude that I can only pay you attention?" Brax asks.
"I've already stopped it. I'm not the only brother you have." Casey says.
"And why are you only coming to this realisation now?" Ricky asks, raising an eyebrow as he rolls his eyes at her. "What did you tell me?" She asks as Brax makes sure Lucas and Kyle were listening.
"That I don't know why I acted like this because I like having the triplets around. I don't know why I got jealous that they were getting more attention because it's what they need. I grew up in this family, so I know how things are around here and I know things about Brax and Heath, like they do with me." Casey says, looking at the two triplets. "You need their attention because they deserve to know things about you, things that we should have always known because we should have known about you since forever. It's not fair that we didn't grow up together because we missed out on so much and I don't want to miss out on anymore. Please, just don't move out."
"Boys?" Brax says.
"Thank you Casey." Lucas smiles.
"Lucas!" Kyle moans.
"Yep?" Lucas asks.
"What happened to not giving in so easily?" Kyle asks.
"Come on Kyle, he's explained why he was being so mean. Isn't that enough?" Lucas asks.
"When he turns against you, or even all three of us again, don't go talking to me about it." Kyle says standing up from his seat.
"Kyle-" Casey starts, stopping mid sentence as he's glared at by his brother.
"What happened to being past it last time?" Kyle asks him. "When you said nothing would ever get between us again because we're 'brothers'?"
"So I had some stuff I was dealing with and took it out on the wrong people, I'm over it now. I know what I said and I've tried saying sorry, isn't that enough?" Casey moans.
"Kyle?" Ricky says, glancing at him.
"Do not try to manipulate me into accepting it." Kyle shakes his head.
"You think we're trying to manipulate you?" Brax scoffs. "I get where you're coming from but it's not true. Casey knows he's being stupid about all of this and he's trying to make it right."
"Fine. But if it happens again, it won't be a few towns over I move, it will be another state." Kyle says, sitting back down.
"You keep believing that." Brax mutters to himself as there's a knock on the door, so they glance over to see who it was.
"Why're you knocking?" Kyle scoffs, seeing it was his girlfriend.
"I didn't want to just walk in, it looked important." Emily smiles as she walks over to him, kissing him as she sits on his lap. "Plus I think I'm still in the bad books, despite what he's said." She whispers in Kyle's ear, so he glances up at Brax.
"Nah, you're all good. If Brax is horrible to you, Ricky will make him sleep outside." Kyle smirks.
"You're not wrong." Ricky smiles.
"I think everyone is forgetting that this is my house." Brax says as Tyler walks through the door.
"Hey, I thought I saw you heading this way." Tyler says to Emily.
"Thought I'd surprise Kyle." Emily says.
"You're able to tell them apart now then?" Ricky says.
"Nope, that was pure luck." Emily grins. "Plus Kyle would be the only one who would laugh at me for knocking as the rest of you tell me to just walk in. Plus Lucas is always looking happy which helps me tell them apart."
"What're you trying to say?" Kyle asks her.
"Sometimes you look really grumpy. It's actually kinda cute." She says. "It's like you've got a permanent resting bitch face."
"Cause you are a little bitch, hey Kyle?" Tyler jokes.
"Just cause you're a bossy try hard." Kyle retorts, and Brax could notice they were bonding just as well as Kyle and Lucas did, which he was glad to see. It didn't take away the fact he was going to be keeping a close eye on Tyler for a while.
"Anyway, is everyone free tonight?" Tyler asks.
"Should be, why?" Brax asks.
"The girl I've been seeing is coming over." Tyler replies before walking to his and Lucas's room to get changed.
