5-day Trip to the Lake House 🌊 ft/Kamaboko Squad Extended + 🦋 Butterfly Girls (CRACK)
Synopsis: One day at the lake house featuring an almost tragic accident. CRACK
Warnings: swearing, rude humor, violence, mentions of blood, bad jokes, self-indulgent reader-insert, bias towards Aoi
Notes: School/Modern-AU where the butterfly family is somehow part of an underground rich-ass organization that owns lake houses all over the country. READER = DWEEB
────── ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ────────
Finally you get your well-deserved rest after a hell of a long schoolyear (my fellow juniors will know 😔). But instead of battling overdue homework, GPA, and tests, your newfound enemy is now BOREDOM..!
Congratulations, you are lying on the carpet, alone at your house for the Nth day in a row, staring at the ceiling like how you stared at the clock back in the schooldays.
Oh jolly, a fly appeared on the ceiling. And its turning right. Man what an interesting age do we live in.
Luckily for you, your friends are equally bored as you:
⚡⚡Shimmy-sheeme Yay OUTTA HERE🥁⚡
Zenitsu: Is anyone else bored?
Inosuke: Disliked a message
Muichiro: Disliked a message
Inosuke: LATE REPLY DWEEB
Zenitsu: Does anybody want to hang out sometime?
Read by Nezuko, Genya, Tanjiro, Aoi, Inosuke, Kanao, Dweeb, Muichiro
Zenitsu: YALL ARE SO MEAN ☠️☠️
And all seemed hopeless until your best girly, knight in shiny armor came to the rescue.
⚡⚡Shimmy-sheeme Yay OUTTA HERE🥁⚡
Aoi: Do any of you want to come to my family’s lake house?
Bless her soul. She had to put her phone on silent for the rest of the evening to get some sleep, because her phone would NOT stop ringing until way past midnight.
Whose house was it? How would they get there? Should people pack their black or kaki shirts? Those were all unasked, unwanted, unanswered questions.
At least Tanjiro had the decency to ask who was chaperoning.
(Answer: he was unanimously voted unofficial chaperone)
Sleeping arrangements took 200+ messages to sort out, where more than half were Zenitsu’s ignored protests.
Your rowdy friend group managed to plan an outing, despite all belief that Inosuke would burn down the house on day 1 and therefore they should all not go.
So one week later you were with standing outside the vacation house with your duffel bag in one hand and ripped open neck pillow in the other.
We will not say what happened during the car ride there.
What happened in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, stays in the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
“All right everyone,” Kanae clapped her hands, “I need everyone’s attention for a second.”
“I’m going to go over the groundrules now.”
“First, no staying up too late.
Second, try to keep damages to a reasonable amount. Whatever you break, will be paid by your wallet.
Third, no sleeping outside if you’re not camping as a group and with explicit permission from me or Shinobu.
Fourth, please don’t disturb the neighboring lake houses. We have neighbors, and we want to treat them with respect, everyone. Regardless of what yard signs they put up.
Go to the island in the middle of the lake.”
It was more than a given that everyone thought of going to the island in the middle of the lake.
“Did everybody get that? Yes? Partially? Okay, everybody is dismissed.
The first day everybody remained polite.
When most of the group went to bed that night after a late-night firepit and came back outside the next day, they found a couple people still chatting in the beach chairs.
“--- and then I was like, who—”
Genya stopped mid belly scratch. “What are you guys doing here?”
“Oh, good morning Genya! We just had a lot to catch up to since school, so we stayed behind for a bit more last night.”
“...School ended two weeks ago.
You know what, nevermind. It’s too early to deal with the two of you.”
Genya plopped down on the beach chair opposite to them, and proceeded to scratch the upper part of his belly.
*Note that the couple who pulled an all nighter to gossip was Kanao and Muichiro. Even if Genya snitched on them, no one would believe him. So he let it be.
Second day, nobody hated anyone yet.
After lunch in the afternoon, everybody sat crossed-legged in a circle. The game? Spoons.
Spoons: Game played with lots of people. Players gather around a (usually) table, where spoons and a deck of cards are laid down in the middle. The number of spoons must be one less than the number of players. Every player is given 4 random cards. The first player draws a card from the deck and discards one. The next player takes the discarded card and discards another (or the same) from their hand. In this way, players always keep 4 cards in their hand. The objective is to gather a set of cards (four of a kind). When one player gets a set, they immediately reach out to grab one of the spoons. As soon as one player reaches for the spoons, everyone must stop switching cards and grab a spoon. The player who fails to grab a spoon, is expelled from the game. The number of spoons is again readjusted and another round begins. The winner is the person who reaches for the last spoon. Other silverware can be used in the absence of spoons. Example, plastic knives. In case of plastic cutlery, you may throw them to other players once a round ends.
Spoons, played with forks. Very sharp forks.
There weren’t any spoons in the house. And Kanae confiscated all sharp things in anticipation. Apparently, that also included spoons. (or maybe it was to prevent anyone from gouging their eyes out)
They actually had to use a spatula to cut the tomatoes.
So in the absence of both spoons and knives, they settled for pointy tridents that can stab straight through rubber ducks with no problem.
It goes without saying that total damage was above reasonable.
Zenitsu has a missing tuft of hair.
Nezuko won’t leave her impenetrable pillow fort for the world.
Tanjiro has a wobbly tooth.
Kanao has newfound shell-shock.
And also has a wobbly tooth.
Inosuke has to get a summer job now.
And might have to pay off another loan on top of his college one.
Third day, is where the chaos was at.
Screw politeness, everyone was beyond mad at each other.
Imagine a 30-years married couple in their 70’s, who survived most of their married life together by cheating on each other’s lawyers to delay a sure divorce, that did happen eventually, only to meet each other again at the same retirement home.
This is what the Butterfly Lake House-tachi felt like.
Aoi was screaming at the top of her lungs for people to shut the FUCK up (no please).
Muichiro hid in the fridge.
Genya hogged the bathroom.
Zenitsu was set adrift on an oarless kayak on purpose.
Inosuke set fire to the neighbor’s garden, also on purpose.
Nezuko went to search for Shinobu and was never heard of again.
You covered all the door handles with oil so that nobody could leave, or enter, a room (or bathroom).
Even Tanjiro’s smile wavered that day.
Lots of rules broken today.
Fourth day, something probably happened.
Maybe something big, involving a lake, and an island, and an island in the middle of a lake.
Perhaps featuring the godly combo of Inosuke, Muichiro, Genya and The Dweeb ™.
Honestly, everbody was too tired to care at this point.
Side note: every law in the constitution was shredded to pieces
Otherwise, things were calm that day.
They lit the fire pit and slow-roasted marshmallows over it.
Later, they set off sparklers at the shore and watched the sparksshoot off into the darkness, lighting the sand with explosions of every color.
Fireworks went off at some point. Big ones that celebrated the end of their lake vacation together.
For some mysterious reason, the fireworks seemed to come from the very center of the lake. Huh. How peculiar. Anyways-
Everyone packed up their things in the morning to set off by noon.
As people congregated by the driveway, Kanae again brought her hands together, “Everbody, please put your packs in the trunk of the car you came in. You will leave in the same car you went in the first time.”
Zenitsu was shifting his head, looking around, as he headed towards you and Aoi’s group.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Shinobu-san in a while. Do you know what happ-”
“What happens in the Jeep, stays in the Jeep.” The two replied in unison.
“O-okay I guess..? Should I be concerned??”
You threw your duffelbag in the back of the car, and opened the door leading to the backseats.
You stopped as you looked down on the seat cover.
Oh yeah. The bloodstain. You wanted to forget about that.
And so, the Summer Lake Trip With The Gang was over.
No fuss, no racket, no bottle of champagne.
But rest assured that you and your friends were the last witnesses of the, once beautiful, Butterfly Lake House’s former glory.
No, you will never, EVER be invited to another lake trip again.

Back in school, Genya and you chatted as you walked along the hallway.
His eye caught the white ribbon and blue butterfly hairpins from the back of Aoi’s head. You hadn’t seen the girl, or her family, since the day her sister slammed the accelerator after dropping you off at the porch of your house from the return trip home.
“Oh hey, that’s Aoi. Aoi!” Genya called out to her.
Her back inmediately stiffened.
She crumpled the paper folder in her hand and sprinted off full speed down the hall.
“Wait, Ao- Nevermind, she’s too far away now.” Genya’s hand sagged as he let out a deep sigh.
“Do you think we can ever win her favor back?” You said as you looked where your lost friend had been.
“Hopefully. But honestly? Not after the bear ransacked the house. I think that was the last straw.”
