FIVE

"How are your hangovers?"

Lorenzo Leclerc chuckled to himself as he sat in front of his youngest brother and their friend, with the pair of them having gotten so drunk that it had required him to take the pair home to sleep it off.

And when they woke up from that slumber, a hangover hit their bodies, making the pair release a groan in unison.

"Why do you have to talk so loudly?"

Arthur Leclerc whined as he spoke to his brother, a frown upon his face, his hands covering the ears of the young woman beside him since Lorenzo had spoken so loud.

He hadn't. He had been talking in his usual volume.

"Siento como si un toro me hubiera golpeado en la cabeza."

Luisa Sofia Jimenez Ortiz grumbled as she came to her senses, stirring in to consciousness, her dark eyebrows furrowed together as she glared lightly at the eldest Monégasque, clearly unamused.

"Ah, bueno, tal vez deberías manejar mejor tu alcohol o no emborracharte a primera hora de la mañana." Lorenzo responded to her with ease, chuckling to himself as she lifted her hand up to flip him off.

"Querido, your brother is a judgmental ass." Luisa spoke directly to Arthur who was still beside her, subconsciously leaning more in to his body whilst his arms moved from her ears to her waist.

"I know." Arthur chuckled before he rose to his feet, pulling her up beside him which made a couple of clicks sound as her body and her joints stretched, having been on the sofa in Arthur's apartment for a couple of hours.

Lorenzo raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise at the nickname that the Puerto Rican girl had used for his little brother, an amused smile upon his lips.

He figured that it hadn't been the first time that she had said it, because the name hadn't taken Arthur by surprise, instead his brother just didn't understand what it was that she had called him.

Which was to be expected.

Whilst Lorenzo knew he did not know a lot in Spanish, he knew little bits, so he could communicate with her in her mother tongue to the best of his ability.

It also meant that he could tease her in her own language and Arthur wouldn't have a clue.

And he planned to do that a hell of a lot, because why not?

"Charles and Pierre will be back late tonight, so I'll either cook or we can order some food, what would you like Arthur?" Lorenzo informed the pair, watching as his brother furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Shouldn't you be asking Lu?"

"She called me an ass, so I'm being one." Lorenzo smirked, his eyebrows wiggling up and down at the face of the young woman, who opened her mouth in shock, a gasp leaving her lips.

"I will tell Charlie that you are being mean to me! Querido, he's being mean to me!" Luisa whined, for the most part playfully, pointing to the elder Leclerc and sticking her tongue out at him.

"You're not allowed to be mean, Enzo!" Arthur immediately jumped to defend her, seeing his brother laughing, his head aimed down towards his feet as he shook his head from side to side.

"I'm sorry, Lu. Now what would you like to eat, Arthur?"

Lorenzo Leclerc yelped as the Puerto Rican girl launched a pillow at his face, the soft furnishing hitting him square in the face which made the two young adults before him laugh in unison, their faces lighting up.

"I am going to take Luisa out for dinner and she can pick what she wants to eat." Arthur nodded his head proudly as he decided to annoy his brother back, watching as Lorenzo immediately surrendered.

He watched the pair walk away with a smug grin upon his soft pink lips, almost as if it had been his plan all along.

"Finally, peace and quiet."

"Luisa!"

Luisa Sofia Jimenez Ortiz stopped dead in her tracks as she heard the familiar voices from behind her, a groan leaving her lips.

The brunette turned her head around towards the direction of the sound, her eyes widening as she noticed the figures of her six brothers heading towards her, making her release a small squeal.

Her brothers waved at her with large grins upon their faces and so, because she knew what was about to happen, she did the only thing that she could.

She ran for her life.

Her feet pounded on the hard ground as she ran across the pavement at the sea front of Monte Carlo, wanting to get away from her brothers as quickly as she could.

How had they managed to find her in the whole of Monaco?

Her brothers, Leonardo, Thiago, Rio, Castel, Alano and Javier ran after her, laughter leaving their lips as they were giving chase, strangely happy to see her again.

They would never say it out loud, of course, but they had actually missed their baby sister, and obviously they had missed bullying her.

Harmless bullying, they were her brothers, so they would never hurt her.

Except for the time that she had broken her arm from having been body slammed through a table in their living area of the family home.

Or the time when she had a severe nose bleed from them shouting, piensa rápido, and Castel throwing his shoe at her, only for her to have been listening to music and not actually heard them, resulting in the shoe hitting her square in the face.

Or the time when they had climbed a tree and pushed her out of it, thinking that she would tuck herself up and roll uninjured like how they always did, instead she had fallen flat on her stomach, her head hitting the ground hard, giving her many bruises and a major headache.

There were some more memories of injuries, like a broken leg, concussion and a broken rib amongst others, but they chose not to share those, the others sounded bad enough.

But they loved Luisa, obviously.

Javier was the fastest of her six brothers, easily outrunning the other boys, chasing her down until she seemed to spot something and hid in a bar, which meant that he had lost sight of her, making his eyebrows furrow in confusion at how she had managed to evade and outrun him and the others.

Luisa hid behind a chair inside of a bar, one that she had visited before, not caring that the person sitting in the chair was laughing at her, calling her name.

"Shut up, Charlie! I'm gonna die!"

Charles Leclerc laughed as he noticed his friend cowering behind his chair, trying to get her to sit next to him but failed as she slapped at his hands, making him release a quiet Ow!

"What's up, Lu?"

"My brothers are right there and if you don't shut up then I am going to be discovered and tortured until I'm killed!"

"It can't be that bad."

Pierre Gasly chuckled to himself as she watched her trying to hide, with the French man sitting opposite that of his Monégasque best friend.

"They'll probably try and drown me in the sea just to see how long I can hold my breath!" Luisa huffed as she tried to gain her breath back, having been heavily out of breath from out running them.

Javier was always the brother who would try and always succeed in running after her, since he could easily run her down due to his experience as a sprinter and football player, and she had never been able to escape him before.

She was making sure that this time, she succeeded in what she had always failed to do.

After a couple of minutes of hiding, her brothers disappeared from her line of sight, making her breathe a sigh of relief, pushing herself up to her feet so that she could sit beside that of Charles and Pierre.

Pierre smiled down at her as he handed over his drink to her without saying a word, watching as she grinned at him before throwing the drink down her throat, having desperately needed one.

"How did your breakfast go with Arthur, the other day? You know, when you tricked him in to a bet that you knew that you were going to win." Pierre raised one of his eyebrows at her with a smug smile upon his lips, hearing her laugh.

"It was very good, we also got very drunk."

"Oh we know."

Charles lifted his hand and outstretched towards her, showing her the photo that Lorenzo had taken of the pair passed out on the sofa in one another's arms.

"Delete that photo!"

"Never! You both look adorable!"

"Charles I will smother you in your sleep!"

"You aren't tall enough to reach my bed."

"Triple-hijueputa!"
