IMPORTANT: Sorry, English is no my first language. I apologize for the grammar errors. Hopefully, soon I can find a beta to help me with these problems.
Day 2: The first date is always important.
"You did what?!" knowing his friends so well and how much they love to scream, Jordan prepared himself beforehand, covering his ears with his fingers, not wanting to be deaf so young.
"Fine, Morrie but don't yell at me again," Jordan took his fingers out of his ears, "I ask Linka Loud to date, and she said yes."
"Don't misunderstand Jordan, Linka is very cute, yet I doubt that she is worth the danger of dying" said Jay, being ignored because Jordan saw it more fun blows a little of the wax than it sticks to his finger than paying attention to his friend.
Jordan Rosato or just Boy Jordan, for short, didn't need to be very attentive to know the obvious. Linka Loud is possibly the most attractive girl in fifth grade, even of the whole elementary school, her long white hair is exotic, adding the plus she likes comics and video games, mixing her sweet attitude. You may think all the boys in the school would be after her, that's where you're wrong. The problem is not that no one tries to ask her out, even friends both Jordan and Linka have in common told him the poor girl was desperate to date a boy, maybe for that reason she accepts in a second, there's just the little detail of what's behind the last name Loud, instead, ten details, her brothers.
When Cristian, Linka's first love, rejected her after the problem of videos in that video contest, thinking more about his popular boy image than caring for breaking a girl's heart. Well, rumor said some people heard screaming over a wasteland near the school, Cristian changed to another school in the next days for ´security reasons.´
Then there's Ron Santiago. Ron´s older sister, better known as 'Bebe' is the girlfriend of Linka's older brother, Loki, the couple likely tried to get them together. Otherwise, Jordan doesn't see a damn sense of why Linka can stand a bully and pervert like Ron, who doesn't even respect women. Honestly, he never knew what happened, Jordan only found out from the school group on WhatsApp that Ron ended in the hospital, possibly trying to do something awful with his supposed girl best friend. It took Linka time to recover, it was thanks to her friends, plus Stephen, the new boy of Linka's group, who was able to move forward, thanks to God Ron left to the city with his ass kicked.
"Then what's the plan, Cassanova?" asked Jay, looking curiously at Jordan as he ate his turkey ham sandwich.
"I'll go to her house and play Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I'll even use my black Gamecube control to know how serious I am. Anyway, I always have a plan B, C, D, and even E if something goes wrong," Jordan explained, looking at the table where his date is, the albino girl saw him looking at her, waving with her hand. Linka immediately was surrounded herself by her friends, asking thousands of things, while the Filipino boy tried to help her.
"What song do I put for your funeral, the intro of Halo 3?" Morrie asked
"Can I keep your PlayStation 4 and your Bose sound system?" Jay asked at the same time as Morrie.
"You can both go to hell, at least I have a date with a cute girl" with this, the boys started a mindless discussion, Jordan had to enjoy this break before lunchtime is over. And next is History class...crap, sleepy time for sure.
As time passed, Jordan prepared himself mentally as he walked to the Loud house, he would have to be very careful, the brothers are a latent danger both for his health and for the sake of the date. Linka has such unique brothers, a master prankster like Lane. The number one sports teenager from the entire Southern Michigan region in Lynn Jr. A four-year-old who's already a crazy scientist, Levi, and he only named three of the ten brothers. Why his legs are shaking before he knocks the door?!
As Jordan stood in front of the door of Linka's house, he took some air, perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Loud can give him some protection if he gave a good impression. Trying to look as presentable as possible, he knocks the door, at this point, whatever God wants to him. In the worst-case scenario, Jordan thinks he has been an excellent person to be considered to enter heaven.
The door opened, revealing t a blonde woman using a green shirt, and a brown-haired man, or at least in the process of becoming bald, wearing a salmon-colored box shirt.
"Mr. and Mrs. Loud, it's a pleasure to finally meet you" Jordan extend his arm shake their hand, yet the wood gave way, creating a hole he almost fell one. This doesn't take away points, does it?
"Ah! Boy Jordan! Your hand is bleeding?! in the middle of her parents, Linka came out, worried that the hole Leif supposedly repair last week would hurt another guest.
"Relax Linka, it is just a bag of tomato sauce I had in my pocket" Jordan must have left it in his pants the day he went to eat at McDonald's with the boys.
The Loud parents allowed Jordan in, indicating where the kitchen was so he could clean his hand. While Linka went to prepare the videogame console in the living room, Jordan started cleaning his hand. Maybe this doesn't go so wrong.
"So, you're Linka's new love interest?" a voice that appeared out of nowhere made Jordan jump out of the scare, a black-haired boy had, seeing him as if he could see deep in his soul.
"Ah...you must be Lars, if I'm not mistaken you go in third grade, you're also the president of the writing club, I'm-"
"Jordan Rosato, captain of the dodgeball team, grades a little better than average. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, you eat an egg boiled with coconut juice. On Tuesdays and Friday, a plate of fruit with Indian nuts" now gave the impression that Lars was a spy or something "we'll be watching you."
"Are you done?" Linka asked, peeking into the kitchen.
"Yeah, I´m..." Jordan turned around. There was no sign where Lars went." ...done," at least the most passive of the brothers was the one who gave him the warning.
Once comfortable on the couch, they started playing Smash Bros Ultimate, at first, Jordan planned to hold back a little. Still, Linka looked like a professional player, having to give everything to match the fights, he had to rely on his knowledge of Joker combos to win some battles, though he lost the last one.
"Wow, Linka, your way of using Sonic´s skills are awesome, you beat me up this time," Jordan said while lying a little on the couch.
"No, I was just lucky to dodge your Falcon Punch, that's all," Linka giggled. Jordan closed his eyes for a moment, no brothers to upset for the moment, this is going good, he opens his eyes and look to Linka, seemed to read something on her cell phone.
"Is something wrong?" Linka gave a small jump, to quickly hide her cell phone while denying with her hand, saying they were just spam messages.
While Jordan chose another character to use, out of nowhere, Linka approached him, lying down her head on his chest, this moved very fast. He took the chance to caress her white hair, smells like lavender, and is soft to the touch.
"If you make any stupid move, you'll literally sleep with the worms three meters underground," Jordan watch up, the rest of the brothers, worse, Lynn Jr was ready to smash his skull with a metal bat, Luke thundered his knuckles, come on, even Baby Leon seemed prepared to take his eyes out. Faced with this, Jordan could only begin to laugh nervously.
"Calm down, I'll take care of it," whispers Linka to him, turning around to see her brothers with a big smile, "my beloved brothers, can we talk for a moment?"
"But Linka—"
"Now" that tone of voice silenced Loni and the rest of the brothers, looking at her in fear, only uses that tone on the day of the month when...you know, girl stuff.
Now Jordan just stared at the character selection screen, looking awkwardly, it's a guest's worst nightmare at someone else's house, watching the family fight each other, while you're just there, trying to give meaning to your stay while you beg the earth to swallow you in some way.
Through the corner of his eye, Jordan saw something orange pass by his side, holding his hand to get out of the house, running until they were two blocks away.
"What happens, Linka?" Jordan asked as he watched his date catch her breath.
"Of course,...my brothers won't leave us alone at home, so I thought we could go somewhere else and continue our date," something told him it was better not to know what happened to her and her siblings, time to put in action plan C.
"In that case, we can go see a movie at the mall, then play in the arcades for a while" Linka just laugh a little.
"I was thinking the same thing" Jordan looked away, trying to hide his blush, something the albino girl found cute.
They took the bus to the mall, chatting along the way about the school, the comics, of various things, getting Linka to laugh with his stupid jokes. When they arrived at the mall, they went straight to the movies, even though the boy had no problem waiting for Linka while she sees a clothing store. Now it's time to pick a film, Jordan thought comedy movie should do the trick, or one of the superheroes is a good option too, she'll surely like it.
Let´s see that one" Jordan look where Linka pointed out, okay, that one didn't expect it.
"Paranormal activity? You hate horror movies."
"I don't hate them, only my parents prohibited me from seeing scary movies, they treat me like a little girl. I saw the whole midnight marathon of Arggh! It will be a piece of cake, trust me" Jordan wanted to try to convince her to watch another movie, in the end, it is always challenging to make a girl change of idea, if not impossible.
Jordan didn't hesitate at all. The movie is a festival of screamers that you saw coming from a mile, besides he watches the whole saga during the summer because it had nothing better to do. What made him tense was when in the first cheap screamer appeared, Linka took him by the left hand with her delicate hands, totally frightened, getting as close as possible to him.
"Yes, she did it" Jordan turned back, looking for the origin of that voice, only to find a row of seats empty. Another squeeze in his hand put him back tense, yet he was not so foolish not to take advantage of his position. Jordan puts his arm behind her, moves the cup holder that separated their seats to bring Linka closer, whispering to her she would be fine. By the blush on her white cheeks, he made the right move.
Linka felt a little embarrassed, as well as happy. Boy Jordan is very respectful, not like Ron, who several times tried to touch her breasts with his hand 'accidentally.' For every screamer, he hugs her, repeating that everything is fine, with that support, she was able to finish the movie, now Linka could say to her friends she watches a horror movie for once.
When they go to the arcade, Linka looked a lot at her cell phone, looking at the notes she had, which Claude sent her on how to act on the date, even Claude gave Linka support being behind her during the movie, but she had to leave because her mother's would be so worried. Linka showed affection, every time Jordan won a game, she congratulated and hugged him, at first it was a tense hug, but then he gladly accepts them. For being Linka's first date in a while, she is doing her best.
When they watch the sunset, they agree to go back to the Loud House, then asked Lynn Sr. to take Jordan back to his home. Although the boy repeated several times that it wasn't necessary, that he could walk alone, she didn't want to worry about something happening to him. They were already near the bus stop, when a gang of high school bums, clearly in a drunken state, saw them.
"Hey pretty, come here, I'll buy you a drink."
"Imbecile, she is a little girl with white hair."
"Well, I'm a pedophile then."
Instinctively, Jordan brought Linka closer to his body, waiting for this to be just an awkward moment, but no, three other people intercepted them "Please let us pass" Jordan tried to pass between them gang, but he only got punched in the face, luckily Jordan was able to stand.
"Get lost, we just want to play with the albino girl" before that asshole could get his hands on his Linka, Jordan punched the guy in the face, so hard he broke his nose, but hurt his knuckle. By reflex, he was able to dodge a knife attack, although his forearm was cut off, better there than in his stomach.
"Last chance, go, and you'll come out unscathed," the guy said, playing with the knife, Linka tried to go further back, but the wall stopped her escape attempt, yet Jordan extended his arm, a sign that he would protect her.
"First you kill me before you touch my girl" Linka blushes pretty much, either for Jordan's bravery for defending her at the cost of his life, that tone of voice, to claim her as his girl, so many things, and she could only stick to her back.
"You dig your grave idiot" someone touched the guy´s shoulder "not no—"
In a few seconds, that shadow took the knife out of him by twisting his hand, then put him into the Kimura lock, and forcefully broke his arm. With a little better light, Linka was surprised to see Lynn and the rest of her older siblings.
"Guys, what are you doing here?!"
"I'm sorry, little sister, but we used the tracker Levi put in your head to follow you all your date," Loni said, getting the bad look from the rest of the family, "Uh, I don't think I should have said that."
"Listen to me Jordan, take Linka to our van, Loni will take you home, we take care of the garbage," Luke said, earnestly in his voice.
"B-but-"
"Linka" speak Loki loudly, showing her a small smile, "you will need much more than blackmail to leave you alone, trust the family."
With no time to be understood the words of her older brother, the fight began, giving them a space for Loni and Jordan to take Linka away. Before reaching the van, they saw a young black-haired man and gray jacket run to the fight, hitting a guy who was trying to attack Lane from behind, there should be more people like that in the world.
The whole journey was silent, with Linka praying that his brothers would come out of the fight fine, she blamed herself for this, if she hadn't left, maybe...
"Hey" Jordan makes her look at him "don't blame yourself, I know you for the time I was in the group, everything will be fine, your family, your friends, and I are with you."
Faced with this, she couldn't help but shed a few tears, hugging Jordan, to bring out that concern in her body, Loni watch them for a moment in the rearview mirror, Linka didn't realize that it was the first time that her fashion-loving brother drove without breaking a traffic law.
When they got into the Loud home, her parents and younger siblings hugged Linka tightly, including Levi, who rarely showed his human emotions. Loni turned to see if his brothers needed help; in any case, the police were already informed of the situation. Jordan kept his respectful distance. It is a familiar moment.
"Jordan" he looked up to see Mrs. Loud "go to the courtroom, we must disinfect that cut"
"Mom, I will do it," Linka said.
"But honey..."
"Dad, please" beg the only daughter of the family, with that tearful eyes, no one couldn't say no. Linka took Jordan to the courtroom, where she began to treat the wound, a lot of experience being the nurse one every time Lynn or Leif injury each other playing outside. Everything was quiet. It just seemed best to remain silent. Once the bandage was finished, they heard the sound of an old car parking, to which the albino girl ran out, giving a big hug to her brothers.
"Guys...I...I..."
"Relax little sis...everything is fine now," Lane whisper, without adding a joke. A long time ago, Linka didn't feel so much family unity. Jordan couldn't help but smile at the scene. Loki explained the police arrived and stopped the gang, the fight ended better for them thanks to the intervention of the black-haired person. Although everyone involved would have to go tomorrow to testify to the police station about what happened, that included Jordan and Linka.
Mr. Loud offered to take Jordan home, also to help him explain to his parents why his son is hurt, or why he needs to go to the police station tomorrow before Vanzilla leave, Linka took him by the hand.
"Thank you...for everything" Linka kissed him on the cheek, very close to Jordan's lip corner, his face looked like a tomato "I hope tomorrow we talk to know what we are."
"What?"
"You know, when you said I was your girl" when Jordan remembered that happen, he started babbling while moving his hands, totally nervous, thought he'd screwed up. The albino couldn't help but giggle because of how cute Jordan is when he is nervous, to which she gave Jordan a strong hug "See tomorrow."
A little estranged, the brothers watched the scene, with only Loni being fascinated by the love scenes, while the prince of the family didn't see him at all happy.
"Hold your horses, Lexx, the boy deserves it," said Loki. "But needs to do better to give him my permission to go out with Linka."
"At least the dude made a good impression, much better than Ron's son of a bitch," Luke said, being scolded with his mother for saying a bad word, right, not swear at home, or at least in their parents' presence.
"Pu-pu-pu-pu!"
"I agree with you, infant unit named Leon," Levi replied with his arms folded, but with a tiny smile.
Jordan and Linka didn't have the typical first date after all, but it was still a big step to start their relationship a month later, one night they'll remember forever.
15 minutes later
"Jordan? What are you doing here, dude?" Lynn Jr asked, watching her sister's potential boyfriend come into the house, supposed to be on his way home.
"I'm sorry, but I forgot my Gamecube control, and my father will be mad if I lost it knowing how it cost," the brown-haired boy answered, with Mr. Loud waiting for him in Vanzilla.
"Oh, mom for sure-" Lynn stopped in the middle of the sentence, then showed a slightly mocking smile "my mistake, Linka kept it in her room, go on, she must be drawing something related to you and love on the tablet, last room on the right."
"Thank you, my friend" Jordan went up to the second floor, heading to his very possible girlfriend's room.
"I know, I don't know how I did it, but I'm so happy, besides being able to read Ace Savvy's new comic book right now. I can dream my date with Boy Jordan, thanks for your advice" he hears Linka's voice behind the door, Jordan knew it was rude to listen to those kinds of conversations, so he had act fast. Knock the door, but the impulse of idiocy was activated and didn't wait for an answer to enter.
The result, seeing Linka stand up, caught in the middle of the jump with a comic book in one hand and a walkie talkie in another, in her undies, with her bra and orange panties, with the Ace Savvy logo in black as a contrast to the base color, revealing a lot of skin. What's a girl doing in front of this? Exactly.
"Kyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"What are you doing in your undies?!"
"That's how I like to read my comics! Besides, I'm in my room!"
"Nobody does that! And it's not my fault you didn't lock the door!"
"Just erase that image of me from your brain please!"
"How do you expect me to do that?!"
Lynn smiled as he played with a packet of chocolate pudding, which teaches Linka not to threaten to show his mother the websites he and his older brothers included saw on the internet.
"Pass this test, and you'll be closer to being accepted as a brother-in-law," the sports maniac whispered as he pretended not to hear nothing, maybe an excellent homemade subway of meatballs is a good reward after cleaning the floor with those bastards' faces. Oh, how beautiful is the love between nerds. If his brothers don't kill Jordan tonight, he will invite a soda next time.
A/N: Hope you enjoy this "good version" of the brothers and the Linka story, thanks for reading, kuna out.
