Oooh, that’d actually be a really good source of motivation behind RoJuls’s drive and need to excel. And Vera and Val both in the party circle works so well, and omg, Lucho and Juanpi would TOTALLY be douche bros. Both bitching about their girlfriends and thinking the other has it better and then Val and Ro meet and hit it off and they think it’s actually a good thing at first. >_>
That actually sounds like a really fun AU, if someone wanted to explore all the fundamental differences that kind of background would give RoJuls, but the same inherent goodness and kindness and mom-friend maturity from growing up too fast.
