Chapter Seven
In early August, the reward of Lincoln's continued exercise was visibly paying off. Though not nearly as toned as Lynn had become in the two months prior, Lincoln's muscles had become defined and were much more solid when tense. As well as this, exercise became an enjoyable chore that was no longer the burden of the day.
On the seventh of August, Lincoln found himself admiring those changes. His eyes locked onto a mirror as he tightened his arms, gut and legs to watch his muscles constrict. He wasn't in peak physical condition, or at least peak physical condition for a recent teenager, but he was in good shape and proud of it. There was also another change. As previously alluded to, Lincoln had turned thirteen a week before now and he felt that Lincoln the boy was slowly becoming a man. Completely unaware that the biggest hurdle was puberty itself.
Nevertheless, pride gave Lincoln courage and confidence. Every night, since July, Lincoln had masturbated to the memory of his time with Luna and Luan in The Asylum. Everyday, however, Lincoln walked with his head held high. Somewhat leading a double life of the troubled Lincoln and the confident Lincoln.
Inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth, Lincoln amped himself up for the day to come. He opened his bedroom door and left his room. "Greetingsh, male older shibling." Lisa called out to him as she waddled into her bedroom.
"Morning, Lisa." Replied Lincoln and, with twelve more good mornings, Lincoln had left his house. Only to immediately run into Clyde.
"Morning, Linc." Clyde said amiably. "Is Lori in?" He also asked, as he peaked in through the windows. Lincoln simply grabbed his friend and guided them off of Loud property, a feat that was starting to get easier. "Come on Clyde, let's go-" Lincoln was about to suggest Clyde's house. But, the Lori picture collection unnerved him. He thought about the arcade, but he didn't have any money and they had been to the park a lot recently. "Well, see you Clyde." Lincoln said and walked back inside his house.
Half an hour later, Leni had driven Lincoln and Clyde down to the shopping mall and they were playing at the arcade. "You didn't have to leave me, stranded outside your house." Clyde sniffed as they played air hockey.
"I said I was sorry. Besides, I was only joking while I got Leni." Lincoln rebutted, only for Clyde to score a point against him. Lincoln sighed. "Look Clyde, we're only here, with the money for the arcade, because of Leni. Instead of getting at me, why don't you do something nice for her?" Lincoln made his point known and crossed his arms while he waited for Clyde's reply. "Well, you are right with that one. I'll go do that right now." Clyde declared and walked off, only to walk back in a minute later to ask. "What does she like?"
"If you're going to buy her a present, go get her some clothing threads." Lincoln told him and Clyde nodded with a smile, before he turned around walked out again. Though Lincoln was somewhat worried that he had just sent Clyde down the path of seeing Leni as his fallback girl, he was interrupted by Lynn jumping onto his back. "Lincoln, I need more coins!" She shouted as Lincoln buckled under the force of impact. Lynn had also decided, of her own volition, that she should also come, after Leni offered to drive Lincoln and Clyde down to the mall. Her reason being a newly made holographic baseball game. Each level won increased the difficultly, until the target became a "tiny, holographic ring of fuck in constant motion." As Lynn was now calling it. Knowing that, in his life, it was always one thing after another, Lincoln carried Lynn back to the corner; where her game was. "Dealing with you is never an easy thing, Lynn." Lincoln grunted as Lynn dropped down off of his back.
"What do you mean? I'm the best sister." Lynn said as picked the baseball bat up and prepared to swing, nearly hitting Lincoln on the head in the process. Lincoln shook his head and then inserted the coins, the game leaping to life again. "You should watch me, you might learn a thing or two." Lincoln shook his head again. "No, I need to find Clyde. Before he gets himself into trouble." Lincoln said as he looked over his shoulder subconsciously. "Your loss." Lynn said and took a swing and a miss.
Stepping out into the mall, Lincoln made a beeline for the fashion store. Finding Leni and Chaz inside. But no Clyde. He called out to Leni as he entered and, upon noticing him, Leni smiled at Chaz and met up with Lincoln. "Hey, Linc, what's wrong?" She asked in her usual cheery manner.
"Have you not seen Clyde, recently?" Lincoln asked her, the question causing Leni to pause for though.
"No, not since we came in. Has he gotten lost?" Leni, used to getting lost herself, was sympathetic towards people who found themselves in the same predicament. Lincoln, however, wasn't as sympathetic. "We should wait here for a bit, he might show up later. If not, then we can always go see if a mall cop found him first." Lincoln told Leni, who found Lincoln's logic to infallible.
"Okay!" She exclaimed and then said to Lincoln. "You should totes give me your view on some clothes I want to try out." Then, before he had a chance to deny her, and with a great, big, smile, she takes Lincoln by the hand and very nearly drags him to the changing rooms.
The wait was a long one and Lincoln had no idea why, Leni was completely silent and Lincoln felt that he might regret asking. Suddenly, without warning, Leni pulled back the curtains and emerged. She was dressed in the same clothes except yellow; which Lincoln told her. "I know, but what do you think?" Leni asked. "It's bright, it'll attract a lot of attention. Mostly from flies." Lincoln detailed and Leni's answer was immediate. "Eww, no!" She cried and shut the curtains with a snap. After another long wait, the curtain were drawn again. This time Leni emerged wearing a blue blouse with a white cardigan and a cerulean skirt. She smiled as she waited for Lincoln's opinion. "The white cardigan is a little too far after labour day and-" Lincoln was interrupted very quickly.
"Say no more." Leni declared and disappeared back inside the dressing room. The wait this time was excruciating. Eventually, Leni's voice piped up. "Lincy, can you come in, I need your help." Lincoln looked around for Chaz and, finding him putting the mannequins in the window, Lincoln crept inside the dressing room.
The sight inside the dressing room was something that Lincoln didn't expect, he thought he had been called in to take care of a tricky zipper. But, Leni was instead struggling with a bra that didn't fit her. "Looks like I need a new bra." Leni said, clearly embarrassed by her predicament. She wasn't wrong. The bra was clearly too tight and was squashing her breasts, unable to contain them. Lincoln gulped and didn't say a word. His stare caused Leni to turn her back to him. "Lincoln, I'm sorry, but could you close your eyes?" She asked tentatively. Lincoln was just as tentative. Going so far as to stammer when he talked. "S-sure." He then closed his eyes and the sound of something dropping to the floor followed soon after. "You can open them now." Leni said and, when Lincoln did, he found that Leni was backed into the corner. She politely asked. "The bra is on the floor, can you go get another one? With a larger number on the tag?" And Lincoln nodded, forgetting that Leni wasn't facing him, and left the changing room.
Sneaking around Chaz, Lincoln made his way into the bra aisle. Not sure what he to get, he picked up the first thing that was in the size up and brought it back to Leni. Leni was still topless and still hiding in the corner, upon hearing Lincoln enter, she held out one arm for the bra; while the other arm covered her breasts. After fumbling around, she managed to take hold of bra and look at it. Only to then thrust it back into Lincoln's chest, causing her own chest to ripple slightly. "Ew, stop!" Leni cried out. "That's a fashion nightmare." She added. Lincoln looked at the drab, grey bra and could see why. It probably wasn't to sell very well. Lincoln quickly said. "I'll go get a better one." And rushed out. Only to find himself helping Leni trying on an assortment of new bras. Leni becoming more and more comfortable with being topless in front of Lincoln, until he was able to see everything. Her naked nipples, the breasts shake as she put the bras on and bounce as after she took them off. Eventually, Lincoln brought her a bra that caused Leni jumped for joy, causing her breasts to follow her in a delayed motion. "Oh, Lincy, that looks totes perfect." She happily put on the sky blue bra and it immediately pushed her breasts together, making them more pronounced. "Totes feel perfect too." She added once the bra was in place. Lincoln, meanwhile, was mentally thanking his jeans for constraining his erection. Leni was smiling as she picked a top of the rack, but she then realised that Lincoln was still there. "Do you mind, I'm changing." She said in an accusatory tone. Causing Lincoln to apologise and run out the changing room.
An hour later, after paying for the clothes, Lincoln and Leni left the store and found Lynn with Clyde in tow. "Clyde? Where have you been, buddy?" Lincoln asked, having expected his best friend to arrive ages ago. "I found him wandering aimlessly." Lynn said as the downcast Clyde rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "That still doesn't explain where you've been." Lincoln said, a little perplexed by the situation. "Aw, you didn't get lost, did you?" Leni said sympathetically.
"No, not at all." Clyde said as he waved his hands in denial. "But, I went to the fashion shop, to find Leni, and she wasn't there." Lincoln brought up a hand to rub his temples.
"She must have been in the changing rooms, when you walked in. You should have just waited." Lincoln explained. Lynn shrugged and simply clapped Clyde on the back. "Sucks to be you, time to go home." She declared, then walked off. Leaving Clyde with Leni and Lincoln. "Oh, before I forget." Clyde said and handed a coupon. "Ouu, thank you." Leni cooed as she took it. Not exactly sure what it was. "I wanted to thank you, for taking me and Lincoln out and for driving us and for giving us spending money and for-" Clyde seemed likely to go on forever, so Lincoln tapped him on the shoulder and pointed after Lynn. "We should go."
That very night. Lincoln was adding to his personal shame album, as he masturbated feverishly and bit into his pajama top to cover his moan during climax. He curled his toes as he sighed during the post-orgasmic bliss. But, frowned when the feelings of self-loathing came to Lincoln. It wasn't enough that he lusted after a family member, he had masturbated to Leni, Luna and Luan and could also vividly remember the feelings of Lynn's kiss. He traced a finger over his lips, the same as the night after he had kissed Ronnie-Anne. Guilt, shame, these things bubbled within Lincoln as he covered his head with his pillow and did his best to fall asleep.
Waking up, feeling exhausted, Lincoln cleaned up and washed himself clean of his misdeeds and the turmoil that came with them. When he stepped out of the shower, he was the confident Lincoln again. Inhaling and exhaling, Lincoln got dressed, left the bathroom, and walked into Leni. The two of them falling over. "Sorry, Leni." Lincoln said in a momentary daze. When his mind became clearer, he looked down at Leni and saw her looking up at him. "Aren't you going to get off me, Lincoln." She said and Lincoln jumped and apologised again. "It's okay, these things happen." Leni said as Lincoln helped her up. Lincoln's mask of confidence failed him and in the brief moment that it was gone, he stood there awkwardly and Leni shrugged and slipped into the bathroom.
As lunchtime rolled around, the Louds all sat at the dinning room table. The AC having broken again. "This sucks." Lori dryly exposed as she cooled herself down with a fan.
"Lori, you're makeup's running." Lucy retorted.
"What!?" Lori shouted and got out a mirror, only to see that everything was fine. Lucy got a small chuckle out that, especially when Lori growled in frustration. "Swimming pool?" Lincoln asked, a little confused as to why none of his sisters had gotten it out and filled it, yet. His answer came quickly.
"Last time we got that out, I ended up eating mud." Luna said darkly, clearly having not forgiven him yet. To which, Lincoln shrugged.
"More room for me than." He said as he went to get the inflatable pool ready. The other sisters watching him leave.
"Mud's not so bad." Lana said with a half smile, a little more willing to deal with mishaps than her feminine sisters.
Upon filling the pool, Lincoln jumped in, still wearing his everyday clothes, and sighed as the water chilled him to the bone. Mere minutes later, his sisters came out of the house in their swimsuits. "Okay, Lincoln, we're sorry." Lori said as they crowded round him.
"That is to say, even if you flip us into the mud, we'd be less happy if we had to stay inside and boil to death." Lucy's voice ebbed out slowly. Every syllable disappointing Lincoln.
"Gee guys, thanks for the vote of confidence and display of overwhelming compassion." Lincoln said as he got out the pool. But, he didn't want to argue the point with his family. It was their beef, not his; after all. "I'll be back in a bit." Lincoln said and ran off into the house.
"Where's he going." Luan said with a raised eyebrow. Only for Lori to exclaim.
"Who cares pool's empty!" Prompting the Louds to dive in all at once.
Lincoln came back down, in his swim trunks, as if nothing had happened and waved off questions that were thrown his way as he slipped into the pool, next to Lily, Lucy, Lori, Lana and Lola. Lincoln, however, had come prepared for a case of accidental erection. Having tied his penis to his left leg. Though, it might not be called accidental this time around. This time around, Lincoln expected stimulation and didn't feel he should go out of his way to avoid it. Did Lincoln feel bad? Yes. Would he be wrought with guilt come nighttime? Definitely. But, Lincoln was wearing a mask right now and his desire for some of his older sisters was the only thing that bled to the forefront. Not that Lincoln was seeking this out. Even when hiding behind a mask, he knew how crazy it was to lust for family members. All he had to do was relax and it might even be that nothing of note happened, which was a far better option. Though not the one that Lincoln wanted.
Time passed, but the heat stayed. People got into the pool, people got out of it. Soon, just like at the mall, he was stuck with Leni and Lynn. The skin on Lincoln's fingers had shriveled, but he didn't care. With his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. He listened to Leni's voice and picture her topless, like she was at clothes store. Except, with water glistening down her breasts and right beside him. His penis stirred, but was constrained and was forced to move down one pant leg. Lincoln simply covered it up with a foot and basked in his fantasy. Only for Lynn to ruin it. "Chicken fight! I call Lincoln!" She shouted. Lincoln's eyes shot open and he saw Lynn move in and start to pull him to his feet. This was a disaster, Lincoln knew he had to get off this situation. Because, once again, his plan had gone belly-up and he was left to pick up the pieces. "Maybe it's to-" Lincoln began, but Lynn was having none of it and she spun him round and jumped on his back. "This is becoming a thing with us, isn't it." Lincoln thought to himself. He looked down and saw that his erection had softened, somewhat and was less visible. Lincoln realised that he could get through this, all he had to do was avoid stimulation. He turned round and immediately met his match. Luna was climbing onto Leni's back. Her breast's jiggling as did so and, when she climbed on top, Leni came to wear Luna's juicy thighs as earmuffs. "Dang it, Luna. Where have you been hiding all of that flesh?" Lincoln asked internally as he felt his erection begin to stir again. To make matters worse, the others gathered round as they went to cheer on the combatants.
When the fight began, it was clear that Lynn was definitely stronger. But Luna was a lot taller and Leni, unlike Lincoln, wasn't even fazed by her rider's weight. As the parties fought it out, Lincoln found himself trapped; trapped beneath Lynn, whose muscles tightened around Lincoln with every movement, trapped in front of Leni, who he had just been fantasying about and trapped across from Luna. Who now looked even better than all of those nights he had spent masturbating while thinking of her. There was no controlling his erection now, he could only hide it. So, even though it gave him a weakened stance, he closed his legs together, hoping that would be enough. Having done this, however, his team lost within another minute as he lost balance and toppled over with Lynn. The others cheered and congratulated the Leni/Luna team. Whilst Lynn picked herself up off the garden floor. "Well, I guess someone did eat mud." Lynn said as she spat mud out of her mouth. Then she saw it, Lincoln's erection. The string that tied it had come off during the fall and this allowed the once caged penis to push up against Lincoln's trunks. Feeling the sensation of his penis against his trunks, Lincoln quickly guessed what Lynn was staring at. He watched her, as she watched him. The nightmare situation that Lincoln had feared was right in front of him. He didn't just look like a deer in headlights, he was a deer in headlights and the car coming to run him over became much more apparent with the sound of Luna's voice. "Oh yeah, it's time for the losers to watch Leni and Luna Loud! do the victory dance!" Lincoln shut his eyes tight and prepared for his life to change beyond repair. But, Lynn came to his rescue. Jumping in front of him, giving him time to scuttle back and cross his legs. "Hey, what's up Lynn? You look like you just lost a game of baseball." Luna asked. Since Lincoln couldn't see Lynn's face, he couldn't see that Lynn's mouth was like an upside down magnet and that her eyes were bulging. The problem was, though she had saved the day for Lincoln, Lynn didn't have a good poker face and was a terrible liar and that made for a vicious circle. "Snake!" She cried out. But her alarm didn't have the effect she wanted, as the other sisters just stared at her.
"Lana, did your snake get out again." Lori asked.
"I don't know." Lana replied with a half-measure shrug.
"Well, go look for it!" Lori demanded. Lynn watched the exchange as she sweated bullets, the effect may have been different. But, when Lynn turned to look at Lincoln, she realised that he was gone.
Night arrived, Lincoln waited for the death penalty and it came at one o'clock in the morning. Lynn, without any noise or warning, simply slipped into Lincoln's room and looked straight at the white haired, pale faced boy. "Was it because of me?" She asked, without any introduction or any explanation. Yet, none was needed. "Some of it was." Lincoln answered truthfully, he felt that it was too late to hide anything. "Tell me who." Lynn demanded.
"You, Leni and Luna." He answered, her fists clenched. But she didn't move an inch otherwise.
"Why?" She asked. This was the loaded question and there was no way around it. Lincoln decided to take the gun and shoot himself with it. "I've been attracted to Leni, Luna and Luan for months now. I've even masturbated to them, numerous times and I never forgot when you kissed me." Lincoln explained all of this and he felt the pain of ripping off the mask of confidence. In its stead, was the Lincoln that felt shame and self-loathing for his actions. Tears welled up. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Shut up." Lynn said.
"I'm really sorry." He cried softly.
"Shut up, Lincoln." She hissed and Lincoln fell silent. Lynn stood there watching him. Though they were the same size, Lincoln was currently a lot smaller as he sat on his bed. A silence built up and then Lynn shattered it with the words that changed Lincoln's life forever. "If you do everything I tell you to do. I'll help you get what you want." Lynn told Lincoln and his heart leapt into his mouth. She stared at him, expecting a reply and, when he was able, he slowly nodded. "Good." Lynn declared, releasing her fists. "Good night, Lincoln." Lynn said and left the room.
