King69: It was, wasn't it?
Enjoy the third chapter, mates.
Luan and Lincoln stepped through the front door and looked around the seemingly quiet living room. Luan looked down at her brother and slightly smiled, "C'mon Linc, let's go upstairs before anyone sees us and starts with you again," Lincoln nodded before the siblings walked towards the stairs and quietly walked up them.
The two stepped into Luna's and Luan's room and Luna looked down from the top bunk and narrowed her eyes at the white-haired boy, "And what is he doing here?" Lincoln frowned and Luan slipped her hand into his, giving him a sad smile, "He can't stay in here. My amps might break and my guitar could-"
"I already told him that he'll be staying with us," Luan narrowed her eyes at the young musician, "And you have no say in the matter. You were willing to let him stay out in that mess last night, you didn't even consider how Lincoln felt about all of this! For Christ sakes Luna, he's our brother, and everyone has been treating him like a plague victim and-"
"And you're not innocent, Luan. You were part of that too," Luna sneered and Luan frowned as she looked away, "You shouldn't feel all high and mighty just because you let him in last night. That doesn't make up for this week. You were with us when we agreed to throw him out in the first place."
"And I brought him back in last night!" Luan retorted and hugged her only brother, "You and everyone else was going to let him stay out in that storm last night! Your solution was to let him sleep in Charles's doghouse!" Luna grunted before jumping from the top bunk and walked towards the door.
Pushing past the two, she walked out of the room and slammed the door behind her and Luan and Lincoln flinched, "Fucking…damn it," Luan looked down at Lincoln and frowned at the sight of him looking down, "Linc…it's true I was part of kicking you out and everything, you know that, but I'm trying to make things right…I know you're having a hard time believing in that and-"
"I know Luan…bringing me back into the house last night and out of the storm…that was…nice," Lincoln looked up and gave a small smile, "You didn't have to do that. You knew the family would react like this. You could've been like the rest of them and left me out in the storm,"
Luan faintly smiled and shook her head, "Don't mention it, Linc…like I said, we knew it was going to rain last night and I wasn't going to let you stay out in that mess," Lincoln nodded and Luan inhaled deeply, "Listen…we knew the others were going to act like complete asses and-"
"That's an understatement," Luan frowned as Lincoln sat down on the floor, "Luan…maybe I should sleep outside tonight. I wouldn't want to be the reason you and Luna get into any disagreements,"
"If you even think about going out there again, I'll give you a fat lip," Luan warned before sitting next to her only brother and wrapped an arm around him, "I know the others haven't exactly been kind to you all morning, and mom and dad weren't either, but the only thing you can do is ignore them, Linc.
I know it might be hard, but it'll get better in time,"
"Uh…yeah…yeah, sure," Luan frowned and hugged her brother, "But…you know, I don't want to upset my sisters and-"
"Linc, you're going to stay here with me and Luna, and you're not going to let what the other's say change that, do you understand?" Lincoln frowned and nodded as Luan held him closer and rubbed his back as she lightly hummed to him.
"Luan?" Luan backed away slightly and looked down, "Thanks…again, for…for last night and letting me into the house again,"
"Linc…I told you last night, and earlier, I've been having trouble sleeping this past week and seeing you out in the yawn last night…I couldn't take it anymore. I've tried a few times to convince Luna into helping me, but like I said, she said you can sleep in the doghouse and-"
"I know Luan," Luan sighed and hugged her brother once again.
Okay mates, just a simple moment before things start to heat up…and not just in lemons. Enjoy mates.
