"Wake up, Luci."

"No."

"We have to get ready for school."

"I don't care."

"I'll call your dad-"

"No!" I quickly sat up and rubbed my eyes, looking at the clock beside me. "Why'd you wake me up so early?!"

My cousin laughed beside me and I glared at him. "We need to go on a run, Luci. The others are already waiting for us downstairs. I don't want to go either, but we have to."

"We have three hours until school starts, I should be sleeping!" I plopped backwards, but Vito climbed over me.

"I should be sleeping too, but you already know how Georgie will get if we don't go with them." He nuzzled my neck and I huffed.

"I'll tell him that I feel sick." I closed my eyes and placed my arms over his shoulders.

"He knows when we lie, Lucio."

"I know."

"Let's just go before he yells at us for being late."

I nodded and moved off the bed. I did a brief morning routine, then put on an old t-shirt, some shorts, and some random sneakers.

"Are you guys ready?!"

I grumbled to myself when I heard Georgie's voice, then was pulled out of the room by Vito. We went down to the kitchen and Georgie glared at us.

"This is why you should set alarms."

"I never even wake up to them." I shrugged and grabbed a cold water-bottle from the fridge. "So what are we still doing here? Aren't we supposed to go on a run?"

Chuckling to myself, I watched Georgie leave the kitchen. We followed him to the front door, but an arm wrapped around my shoulders.

"No good morning kiss for me, Luci?"

"I haven't even given one to Vito, so no. Plus, I'm not in the mood." I shrugged his arm off, but he grabbed the back of my shirt.

"Don't get mad at me because you're not a morning person, Lucio." Tony glared down at me, but let me go when we started falling behind.

I sighed and slowly followed, but we began jogging once we reached the forest. I wasn't sure how long we ran for since I left my phone back at home, so I wasn't able to tell how much time had passed.

We slowed our jogging down as we reached the end of the forest, but I was yanked off to the side. My back hit the tree behind me and I grunted.

"Mmh—!"

Tony's lips moved against my own, but he was suddenly pulled back. "No, I wanted to kiss him first!"

"Too bad, V, I already took it." Tony chuckled and brushed off Vito's glare. "Don't get so upset, you're always hogging him."

Tony left and went to the others. Vito looked at me and hugged me tightly. He kissed my head, then tilted my head back to peck my lips.

"Do I really hog you, Luci?"

"Yes." I smiled, then wrapped my arms around him. "But it's cute."

Vito returned the smile, then leaned down to kiss me.

"We have about an hour until school starts, guys."

We ignored Tony, but I was pulled away by Georgie. He kept his arm around my shoulders and led us to the house.

As soon as we walked into the house, I went upstairs and closed my room door. I undressed and hopped in the shower and sighed as the cold water ran down my body. I didn't mind the cold water, since it always gave me a shock of energy in a way.

I looked back when my shower door opened, but quickly turned around.

"I know that you don't like mornings, but you need to get up earlier." Georgie wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck.

"I'm too lazy to, and I don't ever remember shutting my alarm off." I placed my arms over his, but he spun me around.

"Then place your phone across the room, so you have to get up to turn it off."

"Mm..." I shrugged and hugged him. "Have you talked to our dear parents?"

"Dad said that everyone arrived safely, but that Uncle Gio was coming to school today because of a few things." I nodded, then he pulled away. "Our parents are coming, too."

"Why?" My eyes widened a bit and he deadpanned.

"The last time we saw them was a few weeks ago, Lucio. Plus they told us that they missed us and wanted to see how everyone was doing." He explained.

I nodded and moved away to begin washing up. Georgie did the same, and we stepped out of the shower once we finished. Georgie left to his room and I locked my door.

I wasn't ready for our parents to come over. I mean, I was excited, but I wasn't ready. Georgie was usually nervous to see our father, Amir, since he is the big boss of the largest gang, but also because Georgie always wants to impress our father and be like him.

Bubba and our dad, Xavier, had Georgie first, then I was born two years later which makes my older, half-brother eighteen and I sixteen. But Amir wasn't my other biological father, Xavier and Enzo were my biological parents.

Then there's Tony, who is Manuel and Jace's son. Rocky and Vito are Gio and Marco's sons, and lastly, Frankie was Eddie and Reece's son, which made him the youngest out of all of us.

We all looked like our parents, but it made me sad because I was the shortest. Frankie was taller than me, even though Uncle Reece is super short. And Frankie's only sixteen too which means that he's still growing.

I sighed and finally chose an outfit. I chose a simple light-teal, crew neck sweater that had a white collar, a pair of black ripped jeans, and some white sneakers. I didn't forget to put on a belt because I never knew when I would need it.

There was a knock at the door and I opened the door to see Frankie. "What?"

"We need to hurry so we can eat breakfast."

I nodded and grabbed my stuff, then went down to the kitchen. I saw that the others were eating cereal, so I quickly fixed myself a bowl and ate at the table while I checked my phone.

When we finished, I went back up to brush my teeth, then ran back down and met the others at the front door.

We left the house and I got in Georgie's car. "When do they want to meet?"

"I think dad said to meet them at Uncle Gio's office during lunch."

I nodded and looked out the window. It was the middle of October so it was a tiny bit fresher out. The trees had already changed, and everything was basically dead. The drive to school was silent and Georgie pulled into the parking lot, parking in one of the best spots in school.

We hopped out and waited for everyone else.

"We're still so early..." Vito scoffed, but was pulled away by Rocky.

"We're going to Pops' office."

Tony sighed and wrapped his arm over Georgie's shoulders. "Well, it's never bad to show up to class early, I guess?"

"I'm going to Uncle's office, too." I left them behind, but they ended up following me. "Why are you following me?"

"Because we want to go with you." Tony smirked and looked around. "I don't like these people.'

"But they love us." Frankie said beside me.

"Only because we're part of the Five Families. We all already know that their parents would be proud of them if their kids became friends with us." Tony rolled his eyes.

We finally made it to the front office and went up to the third floor, knocking on the dark-brown door.

"Yes?"

"Uncle Gio, it's us!" Tony yelled, then there were footsteps.

The door opened and Rocky glared at us. "Why did you guys have to come? Can't we spend time with our pops alone?"

"Nope." Tony pushed open the door and pushed past Rocky. "Hey, Uncle Gio! I missed you!"

I stepped in and watched Tony run over to our Uncle, then he greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi, Tony." Our uncle smiled brightly and his amber eyes flicked over to us. "Come in, guys."

Rocky grunted, but shut the door behind us. I placed my backpack down on the couch and sat down.

"You're not going to say hi to me, Lucio?" I didn't look over at my uncle and just crossed my arms over my chest.

"He's having an extra bad day today, which is why he's been grumpy. You should punish him for it, Pops." I heard Vito explain and could hear the smug tone in his voice.

Uncle Gio hummed, then looked over at me. "Come here, Lucio."

I looked down and softly shook my head. Tony snickered above me and pulled my head up by my hair, making me grumble.

"You better go, Luci."

I pushed his hand away and tied my hair up as I glared at him. I stayed in my spot, but looked up when I heard a chair move back.

"Class will be starting in less than five minutes, boys. You guys can go now." Uncle Gio said and they all snickered while they left the office.

I blushed and quickly looked down, but my uncle sat beside me and pulled me onto his lap. He kissed my head and tilted my head back.

"Why are you so grumpy today, hm?"

"I'm just tired. We had to go on a run today in the morning, and I didn't want to go but I knew that Georgie wouldn't let me stay home." I explained and he nodded.

"Do you want to skip your first class to get some more sleep?" He asked, which surprised me. "I won't tell your parents."

I nodded and kissed his cheek. Uncle Gio got up and laid me down on the couch, while he went back to his desk. I flipped onto my side so that I was facing away from him and fell asleep after a few minutes.

_________________________

"He probably didn't get much sleep, then."

"I can take a good guess why." There was a low chuckle.

I opened my eyes a little and rubbed my face. I turned my head back and saw the four older men were staring at me.

"What?"

"Come here, Lucio." I sighed but got up and was pulled into a lap. I closed my eyes again and relaxed in my dad's arms. "How are you, baby?"

"Mm, good, but tired."

Another hand brushed the side of my face and I leaned into it. "Why are you so tired today, Luci?"

My cheeks warmed up, which made them all chuckle at me. "I stayed up late."

"Mhm..." I heard Bubba hum.

I hid my face and Dad cooed at me, while Papa kissed my head. I enjoyed their affection, but then went to move off Dad's lap.

"Where are you going?" He grabbed my hand.

"I feel like I'm squishing you."

He laughed and pulled me back down. "I've had your papa on my lap and he's bigger than you. If anything, he's the one who has squashed me."

"But you said you didn't mind?" My papa frowned and whined.

"I don't." Dad smirked and patted his head.

I never understood what things were like between them, but I didn't ask. That was until Vito came up to me one day and explained what he thought my parents' relationship was like, but I didn't really care for it.

"Gio, can you call for Georgie, too?" I heard Dad ask him.

I'm guessing Uncle picked up the phone since he spoke and asked for them to send Georgie up here. The phone was put down and then the door opened, which made me confused because there was no way that Georgie would've gotten here that fast.

"Marco!" Uncle Gio smiled at his husband behind me and I heard quick footsteps. Uncle Marco jumped onto his husband and smiled, giving him a quick kiss. "Why are you here?"

"I don't know," Uncle Marco shrugged. "I was bored being all alone at the house and I wanted to see all the kids."

"Hi, Uncle Marco." I lazily smiled at him and he gasped, walking around the table to pick me up from my dad.

"I didn't even notice you were here, Luci!" He kissed my cheeks which made me laugh softly and kiss his cheek back.

I was babied by my family...a lot, but I also really liked it a lot. My cousins and I were all super babied by our parents, and we were basically spoiled our entire lives, but that didn't mean that we didn't have to work for the things we wanted. Dad, Papa, and Bubba, were more strict on Georgie and I but that was it, though. They didn't spoil us as much as our cousins, but we didn't care. Georgie and I liked the way we were raised, so that's what really mattered in the end.

Uncle Marco carried me and rocked me around, pressing small kisses to my head. The more he did that, the more sleepy I got, but I glanced at the door when it opened.

Georgie peeked his head in, then walked and jumped on Bubba's lap, hugging him tightly, but quickly pulling away. "Sorry..."

He kissed Dad on the cheek, but Bubba grabbed him and set him on his lap. Georgie looked up at him, then blushed and smiled.

Uncle Marco closed the door and sat down on the couch. I soon fell asleep on him and was woken up again sometime later.

"Luci, you want to eat? We already ordered your food."

I looked around in confusion and saw that my cousins were here already. "How long did I sleep for?"

"Four hours. Your parents decided to keep you and Georgie here, so you were excused from your first four classes. So do you want to eat?"

"Yeah."

Uncle Marco placed me down on the couch, so I rubbed my eyes and felt the couch dip beside me.

"It's not fair that you and Georgie were allowed to skip four classes." Vito huffed beside me and I laughed, bumping my shoulder with him. He then smirked. "You should make it up to me."

"How?" I raised a brow at him and my food was placed in front of me. "Thank you, Uncle Marco."

"You're welcome. Enjoy your food, boys." He walked away and I looked back at Vito.

"How?"

He hummed and ate some of his rice. "Mm, give me a good, sweet kiss."

"Not in front of our parents." I blushed and ate some of my chicken.

"You think they don't know?" Vito deadpanned and I shook my head.

"No, I know that they know, but...it's weird because we were raised like a close family." I looked down at my shoes and Vito placed a hand on my thigh.

"If you really think it's weird how close we are," he leaned closer to my ear, "then we would've never done what we did last night and the many nights before, Luci."

My face got hotter and Vito turned my head. "Give me a kiss, Lucio."

I nodded and leaned forward to give him a simple peck, but he held my head in place. He licked my bottom lip and I couldn't help but moan, but then I quickly pulled away.

"Hot." Vito licked his lips and smirked.

"I want a kiss too, Luci!" Tony sat on the floor by my legs and I deadpanned, feeling my cheeks burn up even more.

"Why are you so loud?"

"So are you gonna give me a kiss or not?" I looked at Tony and saw him staring at me.

"No, eat your food."

"Fine, I'll steal one from you later." He grumbled and started eating.

I fanned my face and decided to eat my food. I ate my chicken with fried rice and ate a little more than half of it. I didn't eat much in general, so I was quite full.

"You don't want anymore?" Tony asked me with a mouthful of chicken and I shook my head. He and Vito fought over the food, but split it and ate the rest of it.

"Tony, Vito, Lucio, bring your trash." I heard my dad call for us, so we grabbed our trash and walked to the desk.

I threw my trash into the plastic bag and Papa pulled me onto his lap. He kissed my cheek and rubbed my hand.

"There are two new boys in your next class, so welcome them. I don't care if you become friends with them or not, but make sure that you welcome them. I'll be asking Richie and Rainer if you greeted them or not." Uncle Gio gave us all a stern look, and Vito grumbled.

"But why? Can't Richie and Rainer just welcome them?"

"Yes, but I need you guys to welcome them here because of who you guys are. You're going to be the fourth generation of the Five Families, so you should be welcoming them." Uncle Gio glared at Vito, but the latter rolled his eyes.

Vito always had problems with listening to his parents. He didn't like following rules much, so it was hard for him to make Uncle Gio extra proud. I could tell and Vito has told me himself, so it upset him whenever his dad corrected him or punished him for not following the rules.

"Is Alvaro going to be there?" Georgie asked.

"I think so." Uncle Gio nodded and looked at his watch. "You guys still have about...fifteen minutes, so you can stay here until lunch ends, or go to the lunch quad."

"I want to stay!" Tony yelled out and his body trembled. "I want to stay, Uncle Gio, please?!"

"Of course."

"Yes!" Tony cheered and I stared at him, but shook my head.

"He's so cute." Dad chuckled beside me and called Tony over. "Your parents wanted to go over to your guys' house for dinner, so I think we should have a little family feast without Alvaro, Felix, and Ollie. They'll be busy with some things."

"Yes!" Tony cheered again and hid his face. "I'm so happy, I could cry, but I'm not going to."

"You haven't cut your hair in almost a year." Papa pulled my hair-tie off and I whined.

"It gets in my way too much." I pushed my hair back, but Papa ran his fingers through my hair.

"How do you get it this soft?" I shrugged and let him run his fingers through my hair.

The bell rang after a short while and I whined, turning around in Papa's lap so I could wrap my arms around his neck.

"Papa, don't make me go to class, please!" I dramatically whimpered into his shoulder and he chuckled, kissing my shoulder.

"You're with your cousins, so you shouldn't be sad."

I pouted and pulled away, kissing his cheek. I moved off Papa's lap and leaned over to kiss Dad's cheek.

"I love you guys."

"We love you too, Luci." Dad patted my hand and I smiled.

Georgie got off Bubba's lap. "Will you be able to go tonight?"

"I'll see if I can make it." He smiled softly and my brother nodded, leaning down to kiss his cheek.

I told Bubba bye, but he pulled me into a hug. "You and Georgie are always so awkward around me now."

I chuckled guiltily and nodded. "But that's because of what happened, Bubba."

He shook his head with a smile, and let my hand go, so I walked around the desk to get to Uncle Gio and Marco. "Thank you for the food, Uncle Gio."

"You're welcome, Lucio." He kissed my cheek and Uncle Marco did the same.

I joined the others at the door and grabbed my backpack. "We'll see you guys later."

___________________________________

First official chapter, guys! I'm super excited for this story!! :D Some things may be tweaked here and there, so just a little heads up.

Instead of Alvaro owning the boarding school, Gio owns a school for gang leaders' kids and in the school they're taught everything that you would learn in a normal school, along with fighting, using weapons, and...some other stuff, eheh. So yeah, every kid that attends the school is basically a future gang leader/gang member. And yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this story!

What do you guys think?

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed, see you all next time, BYE!!! :))
