A battleship came moving in, gliding across board ominously as it neared its target. A tongue hooked between teeth in a look of concentration. Narrowed eyes. He was prepared to destroy all who crossed his path - he was merciless. Tensions rose, the sound of lungs sucking in breath sharply.

❝ Gotcha. ❞ ❝ Dammit! ❞

Alfie hissed, leaning back against the couch where he sat on the carpet, carding fingers through his hair. Silently, Ed’s body rattled as he chuckled to himself, shifting through his wad of cash before handing it to Dominik to put into the bank. ❝ Of course I’m buying it. Sorry, Alfie. ❞ Ed hummed quietly, taking the orange card for New York Avenue and keeping it for himself.

Alfie hissed before pushing Ed away with his foot, Ed huffing quietly with amusement, with Frank cocking a brow over towards his two brothers before lowering his gaze to the board again. ❝ Okay, so…‌ Nik, you’re next. ❞ Dominik tipped his chin up, before pursing his lips in silence, taking a sip of his liquor for rolling the dice.

❝ That lands you in jail. ❞ Ed commented smugly, taking a sip of his own drink as icy eyes curiously watched Dominik, only for the oldest brother to begin to laugh, ❝ Just because you're winning now doesn't mean we won't pummel your monopoly to the ground later, you smug asshole. ❞ Ed shook his head slowly, finally cracking a small smile.

Well, Nik, that was unlikely.

// The boys are just out having some fun playing monopoly together its too wholesome for me bye

    The boys were quick to lift their heads upon hearing Brendan question what they were doing. Ed lowered his gaze again, quickly neatening up the stacks of money as Hayley began talking, Alfie pointing at the leader with a wicked grin before announcing, ❝ That's right! ❞ He said before leaning over and playfully punching Frank's shoulder, Frank's nose shriveling up before swatting his older brother away. ❝ Asshole... ❞ Frank uttered.

Her next words caused the tiniest of smug smiles to reach Ed's lips as he continued neatening all the cards piles on the table, Dominik shaking his head slowly before looking over at Hayley. ❝ Somebody's gotta - he's getting a big head again. ❞ Frank began to laugh at the remark, before Alfie piped up loudly, ❝ Nah, nah, nah - you know what? Do you two wanna play a board game with us? [i]Not monopoly. I'm getting bored of this shit anyway. ❞[/i] He quirked a brow at Brendan before glancing at Hayley. Frank frowned slightly in thought before adding as a side note, ❝ We're all pretty shit at board games, so there won't be much competition if that's what you're after. ❞

    Ed's eyes flitted over towards Alfie, lips parting after Brendan's words and just expecting Alfie to retort back so astonished. And, sure enough, Alfie's jaw dropped, shaking his head slowly before throwing his body back to lean against the side of the sofa. ❝ Somebody teach this kid a thing or two about fun! ❞ Alfie exclaimed, playfully exasperated before holding his head in his hands. Frank began laughing, shifting in his seat before looking over at Brendan. ❝ It's fine. Honestly. ❞ ❝ Is it? Is it really?! ❞ Alfie sighed, only for Dominik to kick him lightly.

❝ Sure. ❞ Ed responded to Harrison as he entered the room, tipping his head to gesture the other man to come on over. ❝ We could play... Guess Who, or something easy like that. ❞ Frank suggested, Alfie snorting. ❝ Guess Who?! ❞ ❝ It's a good start for someone like Brendan who's never played a board game before. ❞ Ed pointed out.
