The years passed since that single summer, and much changed in the Loud House since then. The rest of the family managed to somewhat adjust to what Lori, Leni, Luan, Lynn, Lana and Lisa had developed for each other, and the various manifestations of it. Lori, for example, refused to attend college in the city when she had the chance, staying behind in Royal Woods until Lynn finished high school. When that day finally came, the two departed together and moved into a small apartment in an extremely tall building.

Luan and Leni also moved out together, though college was not their destination. Luan was now sustaining a successful clowning business, with several employees that entertained at parties across the entire Rust Belt. Leni took on odd jobs as a babysitter whenever she could, despite Luan's insistence that she could provide alone. Leni agreed, though she was disappointed. She truly did love children, and she would've loved to spend time with anyone instead of being cooped up alone with the TV. So it was later decided between them, with a cheerful cry from Leni, that the two would adopt a child together.

As for Lana and Lisa, the little genius stayed true to her word and gave their relationship a chance as they reached middle school. It was as happy a relationship as either could've expected; they both bonded over their fascination with the human body, scaly animals, and most important, the feeling of each other as they lay in bed together.

The three couples of the Loud House were as happy as they could be. There were fights, disagreements, heartbreaks and general restlessness that occasionally took hold, but they were still functioning and loving relationships. Of course, little did anyone suspect that there was a fourth, more secretive relationship that was occurring between the two more quiet members of the family...

It was the end of summer break, and Lily Loud gave a frustrated groan as she watched the sun go down.

"The worst part about the day before school… it's always the fact that you know it's coming, but you can't stop it."

She heard a soft chuckle behind her, and she turned back to see her older sister Lucy standing in the doorway, rapping her knuckles against the wood. Lily's cheeks flushed lightly when she saw what the goth was wearing; she wore a pure white shirt that was clearly too short for her, as her flat stomach and belly button were uncovered, as well as tight jeans and some long black earrings that honestly looked great on her. Lily wasn't much for the goth scene, and in fact had a harbored distaste for the goths and emos at her school, but Lucy always managed to pull the look off.

"Is that really the kind of thing a high school senior should be droning on about?" Lucy said when she stopped knocking on the wood, in the same monotone whisper that had followed her throughout her entire life.

"Yes! I know you complained just as much, Lucy," Lily defended herself. "Didn't you and Haiku set a swimming pool on fire before your senior year?"

"Th-that wasn't on purpose. We were trying to summon a ghost with candles, and the sacred oils we used spilled over, and… well, we said we were sorry, so who cares?"

Lily rolled her eyes, and the older woman coughed into her hand, trying to get back on topic. "Look, Lil..."

She smirked when she saw Lily's aggressive scowling reaction to that nickname. She hated it, and Lucy knew it.

"… the reason we have a break is because we go back to school or work eventually. Honestly, a never ending break would be pretty boring," she said, adding a rare, kindly smile. "So hold your chin up high. You'll do fine, and you'll get to see some of your friends, living and dead, again."

"How come they get to travel while I'm stuck in this hell-heap?" Lily pouted.

Lucy wrapped her arm gently around her youngest sister, watching the orange sun go down with her. Her platinum blonde hair seemed alight with celestial fire, and Lily could feel her sister's soft breaths beating down on her. It wasn't… unpleasant at all, and she made no attempt to push her off.
"Well… at least you got to spend that time with me..." Lucy murmured faintly to her.

"I'd rather have gone to Paris or Dubai," the blonde snarked back playfully.

"Sure. Keep telling yourself that," Lucy chuckled. Their cheeks were touching at this point, their mouths side by side. So it wasn't much surprise when Lily turned her head slightly towards her older sister and kissed her softly on her lips.

"Thanks, Lucy. I feel a bit better just talking to you."

"No problem… Lil..."

Lucy rushed off the porch and ran onto the sidewalk, letting out a dull laugh as Lily screamed her shrieking war cry and chased the young woman down the road…

Had this drabble sitting around my desktop for a while. Glad I could finally use it.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this collection, as brief as it was. I'd personally love to see more yuricest content in the archive, but for now, I gotta be the change I wanna see.
