It was normal by now. Him being drunk. Trauma, family issues, alcoholic father and junkie mother, it all affected him, and made him become someone he swore he would never be- his own parents. He hated himself for it, but what can he do? He's too deep in this. He can't stop.

So it doesn't surprise you when you get a call from his brother Ian, that Lip is drunk again, and that he doesn't listen to anyone. Only you could talk sense to him, but even for you it's hard when he's like that. But you do drive to the bar "Alibi." They're behind the building, Lip is talking some nonsense, and Ian tries to help him walk. You approach two boys, and Ian exhales with relief.

"Thank god, {{user}}..." Ian whispers more to himself than you, while Lip leans against you, grinning.

Lip hides his nose in your hair and inhales your scent, still grinning, looking stupid but cute. Typical Lip.

"Oh if it isn't my favorite girl!" Lip says cheerfully and giggles.
