All Aussie Adventures (Time To Hit The Road)

Two (Pokemon) Is Better Than One (Lachlan x Rob)

The boys go Pokemon hunting.

"Dude, you're making way too much money off all this Fortnite business" Rob says seriously as he follows Lachlan into his garage and to one of the shelves that line the far wall, "You have shares in the company or what?"

He's been roped into helping his boyfriend with yet another Pokemon Go video and Lachlan's decided they're going out adventuring which apparently requires Boosted boards which hey, Rob is totally a fan of skateboarding without all the actual effort – it's just that where he expected the younger man to have two of them like a reasonable Youtuber instead Lachlan has a stack of the damn things. A literal fucking stack that Rob actually cringes at the overall price of.

"You can walk if you're going to give me another lecture on financial security " Lachlan retorts, voice rising into falsetto, "Ooh my names Rob and I have an investment strategy and ooh look I run a Minecraft sever because that's so cool and i'm so hip that last month I bought a thousand dollar fucking lamp that looks like a dog chewed it"

They've had this argument enough times that it's become a joke between them, each of them buying entirely different but equally friviolous expensive things – Rob loves his new lamp which is made of reclaimed driftwood from Scandinavia and very definitely an art piece no matter Lachlan's opinion.

"Point" Rob says, "But I can justify said singular lamp, what on earth do you need five boards for – do they all even work or do you keep breaking them and this is just a sad graveyard?"

"Heeeey" Lachlan whines, "I'm not that bad, they all work fine and it's not like I bought them all at once they've just kind of multiplied, Taylor and Jay use them a bunch to film for me and I got the new-new one for Mitch for his birthday"

Lachlan drives them into the city in his fancy car, an expense that Rob decidedly cannot argue with because the Tesla is pretty fucking awesome and they make a detour to surprise Mitch at uni, where they manage to track him down waiting at a bus stop with a group of friends.

"Don't do it" Rob urges, "Lachlan, don't embarrass the poor kid"

"It's my duty as the older brother" Lachlan says, checking his mirrors before pulling into the bus bay like it's not totally illegal.

The whole group notices at once and Mitch's hands come up to cover his face as he turns away and his friends are laughing, maybe used to Lachlan's antics as Lachlan rolls down both of their windows.

"Get in loser we're going Pokemon hunting!" He yells and is met with cheers and laughter as Rob makes eye contact with Mitch, mouthing i'm so sorry. Rob would've actually died if his brothers had ever done this kind of thing to him.

"Aw Mitchell's got a date" Someone shouts and of course the Tesla only opens it's doors in the most flamboyant way possible, two of Mitch's friends shoving him forward still laughing and saying they'll see him next week and he's gone all red, leaning in through Rob's window to glare at Lachlan.

"Fuck off" He says, voice high and flustered, "Should've known something was up when you wanted to know where I was"

"Just get in already, there's a Piplup near the exit I wanna get and you're wasting time"

Mitch's glare intensifies.

"Lachlan" He says seriously, "I am not going with you, go away"

A chorus of oohs sound from behind him and if possible Mitch flushes even redder.

"Come on" Lachlan coaxes, "I'm just trying to be generous and offer my precious baby brother a ride home so he doesn't have to spend an hour and a half on the bus while his cars getting fixed"
