Trauma At Its Finest (Lip Gallagher X Male Reader)

Ch 84. A Disastrous Camping Trip

"Everything packed up?"

Lip is standing in the back of the RV, where all the bags are. His husband is standing next to him, helping out. While making sure nothing is missing, the dad looks back into the vehicle. The children are sitting in the seating area, each one doing their own thing, with Mikhail holding Jesse.

"Can't we stay?" Kate groans in annoyance while staring at her phone. "I don't want any bugs near me!"

"Oh, do you?" Mikhail smirks mischievously. "That's good to know."

"Oh, fuck off!" Kate yells before desperately looking back at her parents. "Dad!"

"Mik, if there is a bug in her tent, you will regret it." Lip then leans against the door leading to the small bathroom. "But we're doing this. Your pa and I wanted this for years. We're not wasting the opportunity. Besides, it's going to be fun."

"Will it?" Kate questions. "Will there be Wi-Fi? Because I'm going to need to summon on the Heiðrún & Eikþyrnir banner to get Eikþyrnir."

"You got 5G on your phone." Lip points out. He lets out a sigh and looks at everyone. "Please tell me the rest of you want this?"

"I do!" Fred comments.

"Me too." Maksim adds.

"I couldn't care less." Mikhail says.

"Only if I gain any knowledge from it." Lyn comments.

Lip then looks back at Alyosha, who merely plays Pokémon on his Switch. "Alyo?"

The silent child shrugs, not seeming too bothered. Lip is at least glad half of the children are excited for this.

"Tents, clothes, brushes..." Y/N mutters as he continues listing what they packed. "Food, flashlights... Yeah, we got everything."

"Good."

Lip grabs the keys from his pocket and walks to the front, with Y/N following. As they walk, the Russian looks back out of the vehicle, seeing Vlad. "You sure you don't want to come?"

"Yep. Got... something important to do."

The younger brother raises an eyebrow. "And that is?"

"I... I'll tell you when you come back."

Sensing Vlad is serious, Y/N doesn't pressure him for an answer. "Alright... Well... make sure to lock the house when you leave." The Russian throws the house key to his brother, who catches it. "No partying. No orgies. Just keep the house normal when we come back."

"Sure thing." Vlad smiles after a moment. "Have fun."

After closing the door, Y/N grabs Jesse and sits beside his husband. He looks out the window, seeing Vlad waving at them.

"Alright." With excitement, Lip turns on the RV, ready to go. "Let's go!"

They set their destination to Palos Forest Preserve, hoping for a simple but good time in the forest near the river. The drive isn't too long—just about 40 minutes. And while the drive isn't anything major, the family still has fun.

Lip is driving the RV while his husband is sitting besides him.

"Ra-ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen. There was a cat that really was gone. Ra-ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. It was a shame how he carried on."

While Lip is used to Y/N's awful singing, the children do their best to ignore it—whether by putting on headphones, earbuds, or covering their ears.

"Pa, can you stop?!" Mikhail yells.
