LGI: *Is seen with a red pen marking a script and taking notes in it* Welcome back faithful readers, sorry for the wait, life takes priority sometimes and things slow down, but trust us, filming always continues!
Z: Indeed it does, though I must apologize regardless. In any case though I am back and be expecting chapters a bit more frequently! *Next to the chibi director chair labeled "Z" was a large pile of notes for future scripts* I wonder if that's a tripping hazard?
LGI: Let's hope not, this set doesn't have insurance *Looks forward, seeing the makeup crew working on both Lincoln and Leni, I pulled out a megaphone, speaking into it* All ready on set!?
Meg, from make up: You can't rush art! *She huffed returning back to our leading actors*
Z: Well ok then, sounds like we'll be waiting awhile... *I said with a bit of a sigh as I went to organize my notes*
LGI: *Looks over* You alright over there with that actual mountain of paper?
Z: I'll be ok, just give me some time to climb to the peak and I'll work my way down. *With a small bit of stretching I began my journey up mount backlog*
LGI: Well, while he does that y'all, enjoy this latest episode of Learning Love we just finished filming. We hope you enjoy it. *I said pulling out a remote and pointing it towards the readers*

A warmth that had started from her lips soon began to spread throughout the whole of her body. Slowly, Leni opened her eyes, in front of her was a tuff of snow-white hair. It moved back to reveal Lincoln's rosy red cheeks. His eyes moved towards the side, slightly embarrassed by his own actions.
Leni was having a hard time thinking, the feeling of warmth still lingered inside, and without realizing she had brought a hand to her lips. Savoring the lingering feeling of warmth that was still there. It reminded her of being pressed against a warm marshmallow, very soft and cozy.
After the warmth had finally faded Leni was able to think again. Though her mind was going a million miles a minute. Though before she could speak Lincoln was the first to break the silence between them.
"I'm sorry, I saw you about to cry and this was the only thing I could think of to get you to stop," His cheeks were only growing a brighter red as he spoke his reasoning, "But it did help me understand some things. This feeling I have, well had…"
Wiping the last tear off her face, she could finally take a good look at her little brother.
Never before has Leni seen Lincoln with such a serious look in his eyes. It brought a sense of dread. Worried about what he'll have to say.
"It took a lot for you to come out and say it," He tried to clear up his throat. Though it felt like he was beginning to choke on the words trying to come out. He reached over and grabbed one of Leni's hands into his. Leni jumped a little at the sudden contact, however, she wasn't opposed to it. Though it only made her grow more anxious.
"Leni, you're so brave. You kept these feelings bottled up for so long. I can only imagine the pain. If only I knew about it. I thought what I felt for Stella was real. But that kiss helped me understand. Love is more intense than just a heart skip. It's your heart running a mile a minute. The want to be near the one you love most dear. What I felt for Stella is nowhere near what I'm feeling, for you. I feel I've always had this feeling deep down, but like you I buried it..." He took a deep breath. Wanting to make sure his next words felt as true as they felt in his heart, "Maybe we shouldn't hide them anymore from each other. Maybe we should explore them more…" He clenched Leni's hand a little tighter. He was no longer choking on words but anxiety now settled around them both.
An awkward silence filled the air around them.
Even the smallest whistle of wind against a leaf outside can be heard from inside the house. As each second crawled by, eventually the first to speak was Leni.
"Do you really mean that Linky?" She asked nervously as she started to fiddle with Lincoln's fingers in her hand.
She had never felt so insecure in her life, even the time she tried to make crocs in style couldn't compare to the unease she felt settling deep within her guts.
Leni didn't get her answer in the form of words, but rather in the actions that Lincoln did after she asked.
In one swift motion, Lincoln took back his hand from Leni. However, before she even had time to miss the feeling of his hand on hers she felt the warmth of his body envelop her. She was now being held in a loving embrace by her dear brother. One of his hands now stroked her golden strands in comfort. The reassurance given is enough to answer her question and then some. She nuzzled her head into Lincoln's shoulder. As she did, the tears began to flow. Though they weren't from sadness but rather a relief.
After a few minutes of coddling, Leni finally pulled away, reassured that what Lincoln told her was genuine. She reached for a tissue box and began to wipe the last bit of tears and running mascara off her face.
"So what now?" As passionate as the confessions were, Leni brought up a good question.
They both have a better understanding of each other's feelings, but they can't just outwardly come out as a couple to their friends and family. The situation was odd and taboo, to say the very least.
With a soft hum, Lincoln brought a hand to his chin. In thought for just a brief moment before his eyes life up with inspiration.
"Well, I may have an idea..." With some soft whispering and the sounds of a pen to paper, the man with a plan got to work, putting his plan into motion.
One week later
"Come on Lana, you promised!"
As always the loud house was ever so lively.
Though to be fair the only ones making any racket on this particular day were the twins. Even when they got older Lana and Lola couldn't seem to go a day without fighting about something. In the middle of the fight cloud, what the twins were fighting over, was a plush frog.
"I did your chores, so I get to borrow Skips!" With a push down on Lana's cap, the tomboy twin was blinded. Allowing Lola to pull Skips away.
However, before she could make any distance Lana grabbed the bottom of Lola's pink dress. Pulling down on it to bring her to the floor before she could get away with Skips.
"I told you not to get your lipstick on him!" Lana grabbed Lola's leg and pulled it back hard, trying to force her to let go of the plush.
"Well, how do you suggest I make him a prince?!"
"He's not under a spell, he's a beautiful amphibian!"
As the two continued to squabble for a while the fighting only got more intense. So much so that the Loud House was beginning to shake slightly. Right up until Skips got yanked away from both of their hands.
"Hey!" Both of them shouted in unison, looking up they saw the one who apprehended Skips was their big brother.
"Come on you two, aren't you getting a little too old for this?" Lincoln asked, chuckling and holding the plush high above his head so that neither of them could grab it from him. They may have grown in these past few years, but so did he. No matter how high they tried jumping, they just couldn't reach the plush.
"She started it!"
"No, she did!"
"No, you!"
With a sigh and head shake, Lincoln got in the middle of them, doing his best to break it up before it got out of hand or got too crazy… Again.
"Can't you two find a way to play with Skips together?" He questioned before placing said plush to his side, hands on his hips, feeling that the fighting was done.
Both of them looked at each other, sharing a look of understanding before smiling.
Both of them approached Lincoln from his sides.
"Well, we could play 'slay the giant'," Lola said with a giggle before suddenly tackling Lincoln's legs, forcing him to the ground.
Lana then jumped onto Lincoln's chest in an attempt to keep him pinned onto the ground, pointing an invisible sword to his face.
"Unhand the frog prince Skips! In the name of the twin warrior princesses!" She proclaimed as Lola repositioned herself from the floor to Lincoln's legs, doing her best to keep him down.
Lincoln was caught by surprise when Lola suddenly tackled him to the floor, though after recovering from the shock he chuckled a little, clearing his throat before taking a deep breath.
"Foolish humans, you think you can threaten me!?" He declared, lowering his voice as much as possible so he could get into character.
Playing along for a while Lincoln kept up the act as the giant, however, as the scene came to an end, Lincoln dropped to his knees. Letting go of Skips in front of him before talking to his front.
"How could I have been bested by mere humans?" He groaned out softly before playing dead before the twins. Vanquished.
The twins giggled and jumped in victory before picking up Skips, both of them holding one of his arms together. Before they left the living room though they came back to Lincoln on the floor and bent down. Planting a kiss on both sides of his cheeks.
"Thanks, Linc/Linky." The twins say in unison before heading back upstairs.
Lincoln sighed happily before picking himself up. Now noticing the phone that was peaking out from the dining room wall. A small giggle came from the blonde that revealed herself.
"That's like, totes being posted," Leni said, tapping away at her phone to send it out.
"If loving my sisters is a crime then lock me away," The irony of his choice in wording had smacked him upside the head like a ton of bricks, "Don't say a word," He said, slapping his face before coming up and hugging Leni to him.
"So are you excited for tonight?" Leni asked with a smile giving Lincoln a small kiss on his cheek before pulling back.
Taking her phone out and bringing up a picture with a list, handwritten by Lincoln.
The title of the list was 'Rules to Follow For a Successful and Happy Incestuous Relationship.' Though that name was crossed out in glittery pink ink and replaced with a much easier title to say.
'Learning Love.' Was written beautifully instead under the original marked-out name.
