Hello guys, this is my third Fic. This is also the 'I write in the Loud House fandom, so I need a story related to the NSL episode'. Honestly, it doesn't revolve a lot around the episode itself, it was just a good starting point, so the next chapters won't relate much with the episode.

Also, this chapters serves merely as an introduction and a background to the furder story, so please wait for the next chapters to judge my lack of criativity, and don't say I'm copying all the other billions of one-shots related to this

Lastly, this story begins right after the episode 'No such luck'

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's goooo

Where it all begins

As Lincoln was still surprised by how his masterful plan of "disguise as squirrel and prove that your not bad luck" went stupidly wrong, none could guess how much things would change in a period of one month.

Firstly, he began being used as a good luck charm for whatever activity one of their sisters could think of. From partys, shows, museums, amusement parks, beauty pageants, the shopping mall, or else. The real problem wasn't the fact he hated most of those places, but rather the he wasn't required as a person, but an amulet, and that upset him. Nobody noticed at first, since it's hard to tell someone's mood if his face wasn't appearing.

Leni was an exception to this rule. She quickly could tell that something was wrong with her little brother, yet it was hard for her to find out why. He was with his head down most of the time, and he wouldn't spend time with the family as he used to, unless he was required for something. A few days had to pass until she decided to talk to him.

It was late at the night, Leni left her room and headed to her brother's. She saw him lying on the bed, not sure if he was awake or asleep. She gently shaked him until he got up.

"What, have a midnight sale at the shopping mall?" Lincoln asked in an angry tone

"I just wanted to check on you. You seem quite sad." She replied

"Well that's nice, seeing this family doesn't care about me at all"

"Lincoln, what's wrong?"

"Only you to not realise it, right Leni. I've been stuck in this damn thing for weeks, and nobody even bothers to saying thank you, you just keep me dragging from place to place, as I was a freaking amulet," Lincoln was almost shouting

"I-I I had no idea"

"Of course no don't have, because nobody cares about what I feel" Lincoln shouted silently, so only Leni would hear

Leni was left speechless. She began crying, ashamed of her actions. She would usually just do what the others do, since she wasn't the smartest, and didn't had the best ideas.

Lincoln also felt a little regret. He knew the pain, and he wouldn't wished it for anyone. he went towards Leni and fell on his knees.

"*sigh* sorry for what I said. It's just that this hurts me so much" he said, sadly

"No, I'm sorry, for not releasing earlier that you needed help. Those feelings must hurt a lot"

"Yeah, they hurt a lot as well"

"Wait, as well?"

Lincoln reached for his costume head and took it off. Leni couldn't recognize her brother''s face due to all of the bruises, cuts and the black eye he had

"Oh my god, how did those happen?" Leni said panicking

"It's kind of hard to walk dressed as a squirrel without receiving loads of bullying."

"I-I couldn't imagine…"

"Don't worry. The bruises will heal, is it here" he points towards the center of his chest " that hurts the most," he looks towards his watch. " You better go now, before Lori notices you're missing, and consider yourself bad luck as well"

Leni just nodded and headed towards the door

"Hey, Leni" Lincoln said

"Yes?" She asked

"Thanks for checking on me" He had a small smile,

Leni almost was crying when she reached her room. She didn't know the torture her brother was suffering, but now she would do what she could to help him. However, she had no ideas, until she shaw her driver's license laying on her nightstand

A plan came up to her mind. She would tell him he needed to go to the shopping mall, and after they were far from home, Lincoln would be able to take off the suit. The first day she tried, it proved to be successful. Lincoln at first didn't understand why she asked him to go to the mall. He thought his sister had forgotten about the last night. But when Leni drove a few miles, and asked him to take out the suit,he understood everything, and Leni was grateful to see the expression of pure happiness in her brother's face. Leni also brought her huge makeup kit, to cover all of Lincoln's marks.

They went to the arcade. Not Leni's favourite places, as she didn't know how to play anything, but it was a time for her brother to enjoy, and when he offered to teach her how to play, she couldn't be more happy, it was almost as she felt being forgiven for her and her family's mistakes. They began going out almost everyday, to places of Lincoln's choice, and those few hours seemed to compensate all of the pain back at home.

It didn't took long before Luna found out. It was a coincidence that both Leni and Lincoln were at the arcade the same day Luna was hanging with her friends. They just arrived there and headed to the music store, but in one moment she spotted her brother without the suit. They were far away, but they were recognizable At first, she got angry because, knowing Leni's QI, it was very likely for Lincoln to manipulate Leni somehow.

She saw an opportunity when Lincoln entered the bathroom. She left her friends and went to talk with her sister

"Leni, what are you doing her?" She asked

"Oh, I thought it would make it good for Lincoln to give him a break from the suit," she answered in her usual calming voice

"But WITHOUT the suit?!" Luna shouted

"Yes. Got any problem?" Leni began growing angry

"Don't you realise all the damage he could cause with his bad luck?"

"Don't you realise how much damage WE already caused to him?"

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"C'mon Luna. I might not be that smart, but do you really believe that Lincoln is happy being obliged to wear that suit and being used as a lucky charm?"

"Well…" Luna begin feeling overrun. "He never complained..."

"Wrong. We just shutted him down so fast we wouldn't even notice" Leni took a long breath, and calmed herself down. "Look Luna, I've talked to Lincoln, and things are not looking so great"

"What do you mean?"

"He's hurt. Inside and outside."

"Hey Leni, ready to go… oh crap" Lincoln was leaving the bathroom, when he saw one of his other sisters saw him without the suit

"Lincoln, have you washed your hands?" Leni asked

"Well, yes, but…"

"Great," she took the boy by the arm close to Luna and showed her brother's hands. She had seen a lot of people with injuries, due to jamming musical instruments, but they weren't as bad as Lincoln's. They were totally red, filled with so many cuts she couldn't even count

"W-w-what, h-h-how…" Luna began

"Ah, you know, bullies and crazy sports fans"

"Do you mean…"

"No, I'm not talking about Lynn, but being dressed at a school's rival's mascot doesn't make them very friendly" Lincoln explain

"Dude, I-I'm sorry. I-I'll just leave you guys. God, I'm a terrible sister"

"Hey, don't be so harsh on yourself. Is hard to go against all of our family" Lincoln said

"But I should have done something, we were so close, and I just banished you like an wield animal."

"If you want to do something, then help us" Leni said

Both siblings turned around, facing Leni. "What do you mean?"

"As much as I enjoy all this time with Lincoln, I'm not always available. Plus, the others might suspect something. With you on our side, Lincoln will have more no-suit time"

"That sounds good, do you agree Luna?" Lincoln asked

"As long as you're fine with it, I'm ready to reach redemption mate"

And she soon began helping Leni, sometimes all the three together, sometimes only she and Lincoln. Of course her best plans were always music related, but it didn't seemed to bother her brother.

Lana wasn't the kind of person to invade other people's privacy, but when some of your favourite activities include playing in the mud and with your pets, it's not strange to see her outside. One day, after the three coming home, Lincoln only putted his suit on right in the front of the house, inside the family van, and she saw everything.

Later that night, she knew she had to do something. If Lincoln wasn't wearing the suit outside, who could say he was wearing inside, if he spent most of the time locked in his room. It was already late, most of the siblings were sleeping, but she knew her brother would usually stay awake reading his comics.

She slowly and silently walked out of her room, and into the corridor. To her surprise, when she reached Lincoln's bedroom door, it was unlocked and, to her not so much of a surprise, he was reading in this underwear. It was still a little strange that he did it, but everyone was sort of used to it.

She closed the door behind her and touched her brother's back, almost making him scream, if she wasn't fast enough to cover his mouth. At first she was angry, and began a short, yet strong lecture on Lincoln

"What are you doing man," she said in low tone. " Without your suit, your bad luck might do horrible things to us"

"But I was just in my room…"

"It doesn't matter. Is your responsibility to keep us safe. Without your good luck, the whole house can fall apart, and we could all die, all because of your sellfishness"

"I-I thought that…"

Lana didn't left him finish. "You though what, that you could hurt us all, and we wouldn't notice, just because you wanted you read in your underwear? That's selfish and crazy, now put the suit right now.

Lincoln remained silent, saved by some sobbing. Lana didn't cared, it was her duty in that moment to keep the house , while he was putting the suit on, their eyes crossed, and Lana saw her brother broken apart in tears, and parts of his face uncovered, Leni's makeup got ruined. She felt being hit in the stomach multiple times, she saw that Lincoln didn't made a mistake, the family did. When Lincoln was about to put the head on, she ripped it off his hands and throw it back in the corner, and proceed to remove the whole costume out of Lincoln's body. When she finished, he hugged her, crying in silence, whispering 'thank you' in her ears. It wasn't long before two extra hand popped out of nowhere.

They both got frightened when they saw Lucy. She was in the vents, trying to find her lost poetry boox, when she saw what was happening in Lincoln's room.

"Lincoln I'm sorry for my acts. I'm the most related to this sort of powers, I should have been able to prove the others wrong. I know you probably won't forgive me, but.." Lucy didn't finish, as Lincoln hugged her tight

"Don't worry, Lucy. You and Lana are forgiven. I'm not mad at you, I was just… hurt"

"Is there anything we can do to compensate?" Lana asked

"Well," Lincoln thought, with a smile on his face. "There actually is a thing"

And on the next days Leni and Luna hanged with Lincoln, they were both included. The four haven't seen their brother so happy in a long time, and hoped for it to last forever

As best as things were, it couldn't last long. The remaining family members were on his need much more than before, so he quite often didn't have anytime for himself. And when he wasn't being laugh by any stranger that saw him on the street, he was being mistaken by a a character on a kids show on Tv, or being threatened by some sports maniac who thought his suit was 'insulting' the local team.

And the worst thing that could happen, the suit 'powers' began to worn off. He didn't bring that much luck anymore, according to his family, so the good news that he had some free time, so that his charm recharged. The bad news, he was considered bad luck again, so when he wasn't bringing good luck to someone, he had to live outside the house again. His four allies protested, but they didn't achieved much.

It was so painful, so sad, and so humiliating, Lincoln took his decision. He didn't liked it, neither would his family, but it had to be done. HIs only regreat would be leaving his four allies, but maybe his message would solve all his problems related to luck. That night he was sleeping outside again, and they would have school the next day. When the family was all gone, he ran to his room, with a rope, a pen and a piece of paper.

Simultaneously, Lucy, Lana, Luna and Leni had a plan. They pretended to forget their bags back at home, so they could return, and enjoy some time with their brother. They would miss a whole school day, but maybe that would be a good message for their family. They knew that, if they were fast enough, they would find him at the house. When they reached the place, they could see that Lincoln's breakfast was left untouched, so they thought he was probably in the bathroom or in his room.

When they went upstairs, the bathroom was empty, so they headed to Lincoln's room, they were excited to see his expression. The excitement almost immediately disappeared, giving place to a serie of emotional mixtures, to one of the most terrifying scenes they could have ever see in their lives, their only brother, with his neck tied to a rope, which was tied to the light bulb of the room.

Lincoln was dead.

Okay, might have gone a little to fast, but my focus isn't on how Lincoln died. We have enough stories about that already. I just needed to set off the story, so it'll make sense later(I hope). Next chapter probably will introduce to the real main plot of this stories

If you apreciate the idea, please let me know, with a rewiem, fav or follow. Like my last multi-chapter fic, I'll ask if anyone has any suggestions to improve the fic. I just won't request any ideas now because this I haven't entered the story yet.

Also, different from my last fic, the updates will be random.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy, and if you're searching for others stories, check my other fic 'The nightmare'
