How is Luci's relationship with Macau and Timor?

yay lusofam question

I think he calls them his little brothers but their relationship is more cousin-like than sibling, if we’re being honest, in the sense that their not that close and don't see each other that often, but are still clearly family. 

With timor he wants to be more of the cool big brother type, and it certainly works, timor thinks he’s awesome. Luci was the one to teach him to play guitar (picture port here watching in the background and totally not crying) and is super willing to spoil him, take him to cool places to have some fun. He sometimes thinks simão is a bit too quiet for a boy his age (you can imagine how much of a little devil luci was when he was physically 11-12), so tries to make him have more of his type of fun, playing sports and eating dirt and those boy stuff. One random headcanon i have is that luci loves to swim in lakes and rivers and used to do that a LOT when he was a boy, so taking timor to swim is kinda nostalgic in a good way. And even though they have different ideas of fun, whenever timor is interested in something brazil will find what he thinks is the coolest way to experience that. Like, timor says he thinks birds are cute, luci will take him to meet his 13 parrots and then ask if he wants to learn to fly a plane. In a way i think with timor and the lusoteens in general he’s always trying to overcompensate and has unconsciously prove he really is the super cool big brother they see him as, even if he doesn't actually belive he is. (also i have no idea how to say this in English but: o simão é a única pessoa no mundo que o luci deixa raspar a panela de brigadeiro)

Macau is much closer to his age, and the whole big bro effect is really there. Macau is younger by just a tiny bit, but since he’s the older sibling with taiwan and hk, he has a much stronger older brother vibe than luciano (who’s still zola’s little boy more than anything else). They’re not really close and have very very little in common, but i do think they get along. They visit when they can, luciano totally took macau to an illegal jogo do bicho once at some point, and i think one thing macau likes about hanging out with brazil is that he gets to gossip and talk about all his crazy stories in a way he cant really with taiwan and hk. Macau’s histories are NOT for kids and he has to cut a lot of the most fun parts because he sees the two as kids, but with luci he can tell everything, and he can talk shit about his neighbors without luciano even knowing because he doesn't know any of them well enough to pick up on who exactly macau is throwing shade at. Luci has their weird stories too, so though they don't get on a lot of adventures together, they always have the stories of them to share with each other when they do visit. And they do play cards together, though they rarely bet anything because luci is dumb but not that dumb. I think they see each other mostly when they both visit Portugal, being easily his two favorites, they're invited to lunch or afternoon coffees more often, and the three of them talk and play cards and just have a good time.

This is my general headcanon for them but id love to hear more opinions and hcs!!
