Chapter Text
Nico still wasn't so sure if this idea was absolutely stupid or really good, he initially just wanted to go on vacation with Lewis and maybe Jenson, but somehow more and more people included themselves on that list and now there were suddenly nine people flying to Ibiza to party and relax on the beach for a few weeks. The only good thing was that he booked a house big enough for all of them in advance, because he knew Jenson would drag Mark along and where Mark was there had to be Fernando of course, so he kind of anticipated something like this to happen.
The last addition to their team was a rookie, always wearing a smile and charming his way into the group, asking Nico with puppy eyes if he could maybe come along with them and who is Nico to say no to that when he already let so many people fly with them? Even Kimi, who was supposed to be back racing in F1 for the next year came along, since Sebastian asked him to and he never refuses Seb.
He would have asked Michael, but he was sure that he would rather spend time with his family and kids than watch over this kindergarten playing in front of him.
Kindergarten is definitely the right word to describe the scene evolving right now, how can a group of eight adult people be so fucking loud and annoying? He already regretted inviting Jenson.
"No, Mark, give it back!"
"Come and get it yourself Nando." Mark is laughing at Fernando, who is trying to get his passport back that Mark stole out of his back pocket only to laugh about his pass photo, that -to be honest- does look a bit funny. Reminds him of the joke Mark pulled on him when he stuck a photo of Britney Spears over his own pass photo once and the check-in lady looked at him with raised eyebrows while he embarrassedly had to explain that it had to be a joke by his stupid colleague.
Still, he was trying his best at the moment to gather everyone in two cars to drive to the house he rented for them. Lewis was already gone with his half of the people, the more quiet and calmer group he must say, because he is now left with a fuming Fernando, a laughing Mark and Daniel and a wheezing Jenson, who just got a hold of the passport.
"Could you please be quiet for once and let me put the address into the navigation system in peace?" Finally he asks.
"Oww, are we to loud for you Britney?" Mark asks in a mocking tone. "But we will be around you for the next four weeks."
"Yes and I already regret inviting you, although we are not even there yet." Nico gives back sharply.
"No need to get mean princess, we will try to be quiet, okay?" At least Jenson has some sort of common sense, that's why he can even look over the annoying pet name for once.
He stays quiet and waits for everyone else to get quiet as well, to his surprise they actually do shut up, so he can focus on driving now.
When they get to the house, or mansion more likely, everybody is in awe, it looks even more beautiful than on the pictures.
"Wow, you must have spent a fortune on this." Daniel comments.
"Nothing a few F1 drivers can't afford." Nico gives back cheekily, watching Lewis and the others unload the trunk of the other car.
They get out and do the same, entering the house and looking through every room. Fortunately Lewis already claimed the biggest room for Nico and himself, saying that Nico organised the whole vacation, so he gets to claim the nicest room. Nico doesn't have a problem with sleeping in the same room with Lewis, they did that a lot as kids and they are still best friends, so why not? At least Lewis doesn't snore or wouldn't try to strangle him in the middle of the night. He wouldn't be too sure about that with Fernando...
Everybody has to share a room with somebody else for the number of bedrooms to be enough, so they made partners beforehand, only Jenson staying alone. He tried to get Mark to be in a room with him, but Mark left him for Fernando, so now the most extroverted person is alone.
They all bring their luggage into the rooms they picked (although Mark and Jenson are still arguing about who gets the nicer room), but in the end of course Mark and Fernando can claim the bigger one. Seb and Kimi share the room furthest away from everybody else, mostly because Kimi doesn't like loud people and Daniel and Nico H. seem to be happy with their room choice as well.
He even made the effort to look for a house that has an integrated sports room, so that everyone is able to keep their fitness up since it's only the summer vacation.
"I'm K.O." Mark falls onto the big sofa, head first, landing into a cushion.
"I think everyone could go to sleep now." Nico jawns as well.
"But we still need to go grocery shopping, the fridge is empty." Lewis comes through the door from the kitchen, already a paper and a pencil in his hand, ready to write a shopping list.
"So who is gonna go grocery shopping with me?"
"I can come with you." Seb says, coming from the entrance.
"I will come with you as well." Daniel responds grinning, shoes already in his hand.
Lewis stares at Nico so long until he eventually groans and stands up as well.
"Okay, I'm gonna come with you as well. Jenson, you have the responsibility as long as Lewis and me are gone."
"Why not me? I'm the oldest." Mark asks, offended that he doesn't get to take the responsibility.
"For the same reason that I'm the responsible one in this group, you can't be trusted if Fernando is around."
"Hey!" And of course Fernando gets mad as well. He groans again, already way to stressed for that this vacation only started and Jenson seems to notice this, so he decides to interrupt.
"Okay, please go buy some groceries, so that we all can eat something. I will keep an eye on everyone, where is Kimi, by the way?"
"Oh, he's sleeping already in his room, don't wake him." Seb answers as if it would be obvious.
"Didn't plan on waking him, just wanted to know where he was."
Seb nods and leaves to go to the entry, same as Daniel, Lewis and Nico, who all put on shoes and are ready to leave now.
"We will be back in a few hours, don't burn down the house while we are gone!"
"Bye! Although I can't promise anything." Jenson responds grinning.
"Jense!" Nico shouts back, seemingly ready to run back inside and attack Jenson if necessary.
"I'm sorry Nico, it was just a joke, I will keep an eye on everyone." He laughs and with that they actually go out the door.
