Chapter 3: Meeting again!

With the school day over, Lincoln eventually returned home and got on his laptop to watch a few Youtube videos and just relax. It hadn't been a rough day, but still, getting up early and having to sit down and listen to adults drone on and on about a certain subject got really boring. If only the school could be a little more active in their teaching, then Lincoln wouldn't almost fall asleep in half those classes.
Currently, Lincoln was sitting at his desk just watching any video on his laptop that interest him to make his day less boring. However, there was a knock on his door and he got up and opened it and saw Lily, who was now 5-years-old, she looked at her older brother and had a smile on her face, and Lincoln couldn't help but smile to
"Hi, Lincoln!" She greeted cheerfully
"Hi Lily" Lincoln greeted with a smile, "What's up?" he asked
"Could you take me to the park later? Mikey said he was going to be there and I wanna go play with him" She said
Ah, Lily's new friend Mikey, a young Hispanic boy her age and was in the same class. Lincoln had seen him around when he came over to play with Lily. He was a really nice kid, and even like some of the things Lily liked. Lincoln nodded, "Sure, just let me know when you wanna go and I'll take you"
"Thanks, Lincoln!" She said as she gave him a quick hug and then ran off to her room.
Lincoln smiled and he then went back to his room and sat back at his desk and just continued watching any video on his laptop until Lily was ready to head over to the park.
However, Lincoln should have remembered that when a kid says later, they mean in a few seconds, because after a few minutes, Lily knocked on his door again and ready to go to the park. Lincoln sighed but with a smile as he should have expected Lily to want to go right away. He wished he could still have the energy to do things as she did. He just closed his laptop and plugged it in while he would be gone, and closed his room and told his mother that he would be taking Lily to the park and she told them to be safe both saying and promising that they would and with that over, they had left the loud house.
They walked down the street and made their way to the park, Lily holding onto Lincoln's right hand firmly and lincoln doing the same with her left, making sure she didn't fall or hurt herself. Lincoln smiled again noticing how much energy Lily had and how happy she was to go play at the park.
Eventually, after a long walk, they had arrived at the park and Lily looked around quickly over to the playground area and tried to find Mikey somewhere on it or near it.
"Lily! Lily! Over here!" Came a voice
Lily turned to her right as did Lincoln and Lily looked to see Mikey running up to her with a huge grin on his face. Lily then let go of Lincoln hand and rushed over to Mikey as well and the two hugged tightly before parting and then laughing
"You made it!" Mikey cried with glee
"yeah! Lincoln brought me!"
Mikey then looked behind her and smiled at the older boy, "Hi Lincoln!" Mikey said with a bright smile
Lincoln smiled back and gave the boy a wave, "Sup Mikey" Lincoln greeted
Mikey smiled and then looked back to Lily, "My sister brought me today! She's getting me some Ice-cream!" Mikey said
"Aw! Lucky!" Lily said with a bit of a grin
"Hey Mikey, I'm back and I got your favorite! so come and eat it before it-"
Suddenly, something very unexpected happened to Lincoln, the last person he had expected to even show their face again here in the park. Taylor Ophelia stood behind Mikey with two cones of ice cream in her hands, one with chocolate and one with both Strawberry and Vinella mixed. The reason she stopped mid-sentence was that she too had spotted the last person she had expected to see again today at this very park. Lincoln Loud.
"Loud" She growled
"T-Taylor!" Lincoln cried out in surprise
"You two know each other!?" Mikey and Lily asked
.
.
.
Currently, both Lily and Mikey were eating ice cream while on the swings, meanwhile, their older siblings were currently on the bench watching them play while eating their own ice cream cones. Again, Lincoln had no idea what to do at all, he had never expected Taylor to be Mikey's older sister! Nor did he expect to bump into her again today! Lincoln was just hoping that nothing bad happened.
"So..." Lincoln began
"Listen Loud, just because our little siblings are friends doesn't make us buddy-buddy, got it?"
"Of course! Of course!" Lincoln cried "But um... I mean, we can still call it a truce when they're around... right?" Lincoln asked
Taylor looked at him and the Loud boy's blood ran cold a little, "Sure, whatever" She said "Also, you still haven't told anyone about... you know, have you?" She asked bashfully
"No! No! No! I swear! I haven't told a soul!" Lincoln cried
Taylors demeanor changed quickly, "Good because you know what will happen if you do!"
Lincoln nodded rapidly and the two continued to eat their ice cream and watch over their little siblings in uncomfortable silence. Lincoln looked over to Taylor and saw that she didn't have that smug look or scowl on her face like she did when she was at school, no, her face seemed peaceful and she had a small soft smile as she watched Mikey swing, eat, and overall, just being happy. For Lincoln, seeing one of his bullies be happy about something that wasn't his own misery, was... odd. He was quickly taken out of his thoughts when Taylor turned her head to look at him, and he quickly looked away from her and put his eyes on the playground.
"What the hell were you looking at Loud?" She asked sternly
"I-I-I!" Lincoln stuttered
"Be honest and maybe I won't sucker punch you into next week" She said
"P-Promise you won't do that if I tell you the truth...?" He asked
"I'll think about it," She said
Lincoln gulped loudly and a nervous sweat went down his brow, "well, I um... I was just looking at how happy you seemed to be..." He said hesitantly
Taylor didn't know why, but she had a blush on her face when he said that, still, despite the redness of her face, she looked at him with anger, or as much anger as she could, as she was now very bashful, "W-What does t-that mean!?" Taylor asked
"I-I just mean that you seemed genuinely happy watching Mikey play!" Lincoln said "You don't have that smug smile on your face or that scowl you have when someone looks at you the wrong way! you just seem more... relaxed and happy than I think I've ever seen you" Lincoln said
Hearing all of this, Taylor's face turned even a brighter shade of red out of complete embarrassment and she couldn't even respond to that, all she could do was look away. Lincoln was once again left in an uncomfortable silence and he wondered if Taylor was debating on not hitting him or hitting him.
"Mikey means a lot to me, ever since he was born, I just been protecting him from a lot of things and I'd do anything for him," Taylor said, "My dad told me to protect him, and I promised I would, and seeing him happy and playful, it really does make me happy," Taylor said
Lincoln was a bit surprised that Taylor had told him something that seemed a little personal to her, and while it was a little odd, he could relate to what she was saying.
"I-I get that, it's the same for Lily and my other little sisters," Lincoln said "I'd do anything for them if it made them happy, even if it embarrasses me" Lincoln chuckled
"Like what?" Taylor asked
"Well, I once made embarrassing videos of myself so my sisters wouldn't be so angry at me, when I was eleven I modeled for my sister Leni when she wanted to create clothes, and when she was a baby, I had to dress up like a fox for Lily when she lost a toy," Lincoln said with a chuckle "I've been in a lot of embarrassing situations and yeah it wasn't easy going through them, but it made my sisters happy"
"You never got angry at them?" Taylor asked
"Of course I was, there were times where I just didn't want to do a thing for them and just relax, and there have been days like that, but I'm their only brother and I think it's part of my job to be there for them, no matter how annoying they can be or even what they put me through," Lincoln said "Besides, Lily looks up to me and the others, and I wanna make sure I set a good example"
Taylor smiled at him a little bit, "Ya know what, your alright loud" Taylor told him with a genuine smile
Lincoln looked at her and now he was blushing madly, he just smiled nervously and chuckled, "Th-Thanks Taylor" He said
And with that, the two continued to watch over their youngest sibling and start a chat here and there that ranged from things about themselves or stories about their siblings.
For Lincoln Loud and Taylor Ophelia, today wasn't such a bad day as they thought it would be.
