Day 1- Selfie

Lori Loud x Bobby Santiago (The Loud House)

Ketcham Park was one of the most peaceful places to be in Royal Woods. It was home to walking trails, bird spotters, and a gorgeous fountain.

Lori Loud had many fond memories of the place from throughout her seventeen years. When she was a child, her parents would often bring her and her sisters. They'd have a picnic, and they'd watch as the children ran themselves out of energy.

Today, she was heading there for a different reason. A few months ago, she'd invited her boyfriend, Bobby Santiago, to the park in hopes they could take the perfect picnic selfie.

Unfortunately for them, it didn't happen due to the fact Bobby was recovering from wisdom teeth surgery.

She hoped that maybe they'd be able to make up for it today as she pulled into the parking lot. Stepping out of the van was like a breath of fresh air, literally.

The family's van was always so full of weird smells and sensations, so anytime they were able to exit was like heaven to their lungs.

Lori took a moment to take a few deep breaths before heading into the park. It wasn't crowded at all today, with only a few couples strolling around and children playing on the jungle gym.

She opened the door to the second row and pulled out a blanket. It was light blue, just a bit darker than her tank top, with green ruffles on all sides.

It was a gift from Bobby, so she felt it was the best one to bring for today.

The sound of a motor could be heard, causing her to turn around as it came closer. A big smile made its way onto her face as Bobby pulled up in his truck.

"Babe!", he waved as he pulled up.

"Boo Boo Bear!", she blew him a kiss as she walked slowly to his truck.

He didn't hesitate to open his door as soon as his car was parked, and immediately ran up to hug her.

Naturally, she hugged him back, feeling the warmth from both each other and the blanket that was now wedged in between them.

As they pulled away, their eyes met for a split second and they smiled at each other.

"I've missed you so much," Bobby spoke first, his arms still wrapped around Lori's back.

Her face softened. "I've missed you, too," she said, squeezing his neck tighter.

He placed a small kiss on her forehead, then said, "You have no idea how excited I am for today!" He released her, and turned around to his truck.

Lori fixed the blanket as he came over with a large picnic basket. She laughed. "Did you bring enough food for the whole park?"

He struggled a bit with the basket, having to carry it close to the ground with both hands. "Heh," he laughed, too. "Abuela caught whiff that we were having a picnic and well," he nodded towards the basket.

She shook her head and moved the blanket under one of her arms. "Here, you look like you need some help," she leaned down and grabbed the basket with her free hand.

They managed to make it all the way to the park, settling on a nice spot by the fountain. Together, they spread the blanket and sat the basket on top.

The couple sat across from each other.

Bobby was closest to the basket, so he opened it up. The warm outside air didn't mask the amazing aroma that came from inside. "I know most people usually have sandwiches and chips on picnics, but," he pulled out a large covered bowl, along with a small plate. "Abuela suggested we have her food instead."

They laughed as he sat the food in front of them. Lori reached for the bowl, pulling the tin foil from the top. Inside was seasoned rice. She sighed as the smell filled her nostrils. "She sure knows the way to my stomach, doesn't she?"

"For sure," Bobby said as he uncovered the plate with some tortillas. "No one can resist Abuela's food."

They continued to pull bowls and plates from the basket until they had a large spread of food before them.

She made a plate that was filled with tacos and tamales, while he did the same.

"So, how is everything at home?", Bobby asked, cutting one of his tamales.

"Pretty normal, well, for my house anyway," they laughed. "Loud, obnoxious, weird smells…and sounds."

"Sounds just like my place," he said.

"My dad has been trying out new recipes again," Lori said, taking a bite of rice. "Some kind of weird meat with this sauce made of anchovies." She made a disgusted face. "It's not literally disgusting."

Bobby smirked.

She looked up at him, lifting an eyebrow. "What?"

"You look really cute when you make that face," he said.

She smiled. "You're not so bad yourself," she said. "Handsome."

Before she knew it, he sat his plate down and came around to her side. He sat next to her, throwing an arm around her neck.

He pulled out his phone out, opening his camera. Lori wrapped an arm around his torso, and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Bobby let his phone down so they could see the selfie. "What do you think, Babe?"

"It's perfect, just like you."
