Nothing happens this chapter.
"So this girl reincarnated with the power to heal anything?" Lola's head laid her head on Lincoln's lap. Both had different books featuring characters with large eyes in fantasy robes.
"Yeah." Lincoln flipped a page in his own book.
It had been two weeks since their first date and, to Lola's joy, things had changed. Lincoln had become more willing to be affectionate. Even now they were having what had become a routine in the afternoons after school and before work, sitting together. It wasn't much but it really brought them closer.
Lincoln only had a few classes at the community college during the day and took the rest online. This allowed him to work three days a week and two nights. Lola didn't work but she did have school five days a week. They arrived home relatively the same time, allowing their get togethers.
The hadn't spoken about it, it just happened. The first day, Lincoln came down while she was doing her nails. Plopped two cushions over and started browsing stuff on his phone. It startled the blonde teen at first but she felt happy that he was just there. In the days to follow, she was slowly able to move towards him.
They started having idle chatter during whatever one of them had been watching. With enough pokes, Lola managed to get Lincoln to open up and share his hobbies with her. In this instance they were reading Japanese comics, or main-ga as Lincoln called it. In the white hair's attempts to introduce the teen to the reading material he had chosen one with a female protagonist.
"But why did she choose that if there was no such power in that world originally?" Lola spoke only slightly muffled from the pages of the book.
"She didn't know when she asked for it." Lincoln responded while flipping the page of his own book.
"But didn't she become friends with the goddess before this? Wouldn't she just tell he before letting her go?" The girl made a solid point.
"I can't remember," The boy admitted. "It doesn't really matter. She's on the world and she has to figure it out."
"This is kind of dumb, even dumber than that girl who became a scorpion." The teen closed the book.
"*Sigh*, the first one was because you don't play rpgs." Lincoln marked the page he was on before closing his own book. "I guess isekai isn't your thing."
"I thought it would be about incest." The girl in her lazy wear told her brother. "I was like
super surprised when you said you read a lot of isekais."
"It's another language, Lola." Lincoln rolled his eyes. "Just because they sound similar doesn't mean they are the same." A sudden thought crept into his mind. "And keep it down with the incest stuff… someone might hear."
"Chill, Lincoln," Lola did not take into account the location of her head when she turned to snuggle her nose into her brothers lap. "Lucy and Lily are upstairs and Lana's working on Vanzilla." The man shifted uncomfortably to get his sister's muzzle out of his crotch.
"Just be careful, please." The last word was stressed in a pleading tone.
"Fine," She flipped, much to Lincoln's relief, and stared up past the boyfriend and at the ceiling. "Still, do you have anything better?"
"No, but Lily might."
"She reads?"
"She likes the art more than anything." Lincoln shrugged. "She reads them then tries to draw the characters." He bounced his knee to tell the blonde teen to let him.
Lola puffed out her cheeks in annoyance but wordlessly understood. She sat up and allowed her man to leave for but a moment. Lincoln's get up and ascent up the stairs were just like their afternoon, lazy. They were just in that laze around mood.
The past princess tossed the book to the floor and grabbed a magazine she had to the side. It was a beauty mag for the local area. Nothing extraordinary, this was Michigan, but it did have lots of things for local sales. Gleaming through pages of facial products, her thumbing through suddenly stopped at an ad.
An ad for low cost plastic surgery.
Her blue eyes scanned the page. Rhinoplasty, burn removals, mommy tucks, it was the real deal. It featured a few before and after photos plus a doctor's contact info. Prices starting as low as $200 for facial scar removal. Lola could feel something stirring in her stomach but she wasn't sure what. Taking her finger, she folded the tip of the page to mark it for later.
"Alright, here." Lincoln had already returned and placed several books on the nearby coffee table. "I brought down a few, I suggest…" He began sliding books from the stack until he found what he wanted. "This one, it's basically the original magical girl."
Lola looked up from her magazine. "Is it going to be as stupid as the last one?"
He sighed. "No, that was an isekai with a girl who did magic. This is a mahou shoujo where a girl is given magic to protect the world." The white haired man could see her non-understanding. He handed her the book. "Just look for yourself."
"Ooo~ this girl's a lot prettier!" The girl in pink sweatpants remarked. "You should have given me this one first." Lincoln simply rolled his eyes before sitting down again.
This story was a lot more her style. The characters were all cute, the boys were handsome, and they really kicked butt! The leader of the group was a clumsy blonde who transformed into a beautiful warrior princess. It was so cool!
"This one is loads better!"
"Hehe, I'm glad you like it." Lincoln chuckled at Lola's new found enthusiasm.
"Pigtails totally kicks ass and looks good while doing it!" Lola kicked her legs forward but, due to her sitting position, her feet went straight into Lincoln's left thigh. He oofed but kept his annoyance down. "Do you read this one?"
"Huh," he paused his own reading. "No, but I like the character designs."
"Have a thing for blue eyed blondes?" The blued blonde smirked and pointed to the cover with a similar girl.
"C'mon, Lola stop it." He tried his best to scold her.
"I bet you do." She crawled across the couch to the man. He felt as her tiny breasts warm up his arm. "I bet you really like blonde girls."
"Lola, I told yo-"
"Lincoln."
A small voice caused both of them to scramble. Lola did a 180 and her back went straight into her brother, her brother proceeded to literally throw his book straight into the ceiling. They both looked at a shapely goth teen ominously staring at them.
"Lucy," Lincoln managed to say as his heart rate settled. "W-what's up?"
"I finished those college applications as you suggested." The goth ignored their momentary position. "Should I apply anywhere else?"
"Did you do the community college as a backup?" Lincoln applied enough force to sit Lola fully up. The blonde moved across the couch and laid out her feet again.
"Yes, as well as my top three."
"Good, should be fine then." He continued. "Thank you for doing that, Lucy. It's important to get that stuff in early."
"Of course…" Not visible to the couch, Lucy's eyes scanned the book Lola had. "I see, Lincoln is attempting to get another sister into manga."
"Huh," Lola looked between her two siblings and with wide eyes. Her gaze finished on Lucy. "He tried to get you into it?"
"Yes, he was somewhat successful." The goth told her. "I prefer the darker ones. Through, I will admit, I do like Red from that series."
"Red?" Lola flipped through her book and showed a girl in red with long black hair. "Fire ninja?"
"I believe she does kendo." Lucy's monotone voice corrected. "And yes. I like Red. Lily likes Blue. And Lincoln likes Green."
"Green?" The pink teen flipped through her pages.
"The muscular brunette with lightning powers." The goth informed her. Lola looked at the character in question. "I'm going to make some tea." A small silence came to the room as Lucy went to the kitchen.
"..."
"..."
"So…" Lola nonchalantly started. "Lynn, huh?"
"What?" Lincoln raised an eyebrow.
"Brunette, ponytail, muscular…"
"What, no!" He let out an offended stage whisper. "Green's a tomboy but she's nothing like Lynn. She wants to open a flower shop for God's sake."
"I don't know, Lincoln." The blonde girl teased. "They look kind of alike."
"Don't be weird, Lola."
"I'm just saying." The pink girl shrugged. "Do you like her more than pigtails?"
"I mean…" there was no good way to answer this, was there? "I like pigtails too, I just think lightning is cooler." By her straight face, it was clear that she accepted the explanation but was still skeptical. Luckily for the boyfriend, he wouldn't be scrutinized for long.
The sound of tiny feet rushing down the stairs stopped any probing.
The ever rambunctious Lily Loud flew off the bottom step and into the front room. "Whoa!" She stopped herself onto the couch that the secret couple was occupying."Were you two going to watch something?" Lola and Lincoln glanced at one another, then at their books.
"No, go ahead."
"Cool," Lily went to fiddle with the input. "I'm going to play some games."
"That's fine, need some room to sit?" Lola moved her feet off the middle cushion, which would have been enough, but then she scooted over to snuggle into her brother.
"Uh… I'll take the ground, thanks." The youngest Loud decided not to question it. With the decline of her offer, Lola just lent against Lincoln and kicked her feet out again. The white haired man rolled his eyes.
Lily began her game, it was an adventure game featuring an elf in a tunic out to save the princess. Her brother had shown her it awhile back and she was about a quarter ways through it. Lincoln's attention became split, sure he wanted to read but he also wanted to help his baby sister through the many dungeons. Lola pressed on with her book, using Lincoln as a source of comforting warmth. With her tea finished, Lucy observed the scene for a few moments before heading back to her room. The soundtrack of a treasure chest opening paired well with another's sisters appearance.
Greeted by an accidental drumroll, Lana opened the front door.
"Oil's all changed for Vanzilla and the Vista Cruiser!" The mechanic was wiping her hands with a red work rag.
"Thanks, Lana." Lincoln showed his gratitude from his pinned position on the couch. "You're a lifesaver."
"Ain't no problem." The blonde tomboy gave a smug smile and wiped a bit of oil off her face. Her white teeth did not match her dirty exterior. No one would have expected that little girl who loved to roll in the mud to turn into a natural beauty. When she wasn't knee deep in muck, Lana was the typical farmer's daughter stereotype. A tough, alluring tomboy whose easy going charm made her much more approachable than other girls her caliber...
Lola should have been someone her caliber.
They were twins. They should have been exactly the same. Whenever Lola looked at her, she could see the woman she should have also been.
Don't get it wrong, Lola loves her twin sister to death. They share a bond few siblings will ever reach naturally. Through thick and thin, she was there. When Lola lost her friends, Lana was there. When Lola locked herself in her room, Lana unhinged the door to get to her. When Lola needed someone to talk to, Lana was willing to bear it even if she hated drama.
No one could compare… except for Lincoln.
When Lola needed rides to her floundering hobby, Lincoln was there.
When Lola tried to sear off her own scars, Lincoln burned his hand stopping her.
And when Lola wanted a boyfriend, it had to be Lincoln.
She depended on them more than anyone in her family. She loved them both but there were sides she'd only show to a certain one.
Lana saw her pain.
Lincoln saw her damage.
So even if they were close, Lola would never tell her dear twin about the relationship she had started with their brother.
"Hey, Lola." The family mechanic began walking towards her, she would later be forced to vacuum the dirt she dragged in. "You still in those dumb sweatpants?"
"I still don't see what's wrong with my favorite sweats." Lola's hoity voice told her sister. With an eye roll, Lana suddenly ducked below the younger twin's line of sight on the other side of the couch arm. Her curiosity perked, the pink teen crawled on all fours till she could peek over the side.
"An opening!" Lana quickly darted out of hiding to the back of the couch.
*Whack!*
"Eep!" Lola released a large squeal as her twin sister smacked her butt full force.
"What's dumb is this stupid 'JUICY' logo on your ass!" The mechanic spanked again. "Your butt ain't juicy!" Another slap causing a large dirt handprint to appear on the right cheek.
"Ouch!" Lola shouted again. "Quit it!"
"Seriously," Lana grabbed two handfuls of the princess' rear. "You're a toothpick!" The rough girl started laughing. "Hey, Lincoln!" The flustered man in question tried his best not to look at his sister's kneading hands. This would turn out to be pointless.
"Is Lola's ass juicy?" Lana's raspy voice jokingly asked but the question was too real for the secret couple.
"Y-yeah," The bent over filly stuttered out. "What do you think of my ass?" Lola pushed her rear towards the man. His eyes immediately darted towards it until his morals forced his gaze elsewhere.
"C'mon, Linc!" Lana snickered at her minor bullying. "Does your little sister have a juicy rear?!" She gave it another slap for good measure.
Lola began wiggling her butt, causing him to look again. "You can't tell by looking, go ahead grab it!"
"Yeah!" Lana had a smug grin, "grab Lola's skinny butt!"
"It's not skinny!" Lincoln's heartbeat was speeding up as Lola began shaking it too close for comfort. "C'mon, Linky~" Her sultry tone caused him to snap.
A large smack went to her ass and a karate chop went to Lana's cap.
"Quit it you two!" The upset Lincoln finally brought an end to their game.
Both rubbed the spot of the scolding hits.
"Geez, Lincoln," Lana took off her cap and scratched her scalp. "It was only a joke."
"Ouch," Lola final stopped her being on all fours and knelt on the cushion. "Could have been a bit softer… stupid."
"How about you two don't do such a stupid joke with Lily in the room!" Both teens looked forward to see a small, innocent girl chuckling at their pain. Their twin nature kicked in and they apologized in unison.
"Sorry…"
"Good," Lincoln placed his book in his lap and lent against the arm rest. "Don't do it again."
"Yes, Lincoln…" the twins also said together.
With a sigh, Lana left to really clean off the grease she still had. Lincoln watched as Lily unpaused her game and further explored the dungeon. Lola would return to her reading in a moment, but before that…
"Hey, Lincoln." The spanked teen crawled close to his ear. His heart had yet to slow. "I'll let you touch my butt later if you want." His neck snapped to look at her, his cheeks were burning red. He was about to silently scold her but a quick peck from her lips stopped him. She giggled and jumped back to her reading position.
Lincoln was speechless, in the family home, Lola had just kissed him. If Lily had seen, it would have been a horror to explain… but even then...
What should he do with the erection he was hiding?
Nothing happened this chapter.
No, seriously, Lola never gets off the couch.
