I don't own the Loud House

I was gonna wait until this weekend to pose this but I was asked to update sooner and I couldn't say no. This chapter is all about what happened between Lincoln and Stella and why they broke up. It's not a pretty story and some of you will not like the light that the rest of the family is put in.

I will be posting more updates on the weekend so look forward to that.

Chapter 5

"The story I'm about to tell you has two parts; when Stella and I got together and when my sisters decided to meddle." Lincoln said. "The first part isn't that long, Stella and I had been crushing on each other for a while but it does lead to what happened with my sisters."

"I know this is your tragic backstory and all that but I'm kind of excited!" Nikki admitted.

"Why?" Lincoln asked.

"I don't know, I just am." Nikki said. But the truth was that she wanted to know more about his past relationship with Stella. There was something about the dark haired girl that she liked.

"Anyways," Lincoln continued. "It was back in February, the week before Valentine's Day that I asked her out..."

Lincoln had woken up on Monday the 9th, five days before the 14th which landed on a Saturday, with purpose. He was going to ask Stella to be his girlfriend. He had the whole thing planned out and he had asked his buddy Clyde to help him out. He was nervous but he also felt strangely calm. After all, he had noticed that Stella seemed to like him too. She would laugh at his jokes even when they weren't that funny and he caught her staring at him a few times which would cause her to blush. Call him crazy but it seemed to him like she liked him a lot.

"You know, I just realized that when you retell a story that you do a lot of inner monologuing in your head, huh?" Nikki commented partly through his story.

"Well, yea, doesn't everyone?" Lincoln asked.

"Well, I sure as hell don't." Nikki said. But then she thought about it. "But you know what? Santiago does that a lot too."

"Ronnie Anne would do that." Lincoln nodded. "I taught her that little trick."

"Oh? And what trick is that?" Nikki asked with a mischievous grin. "Was it naughty?"

"No!" Lincoln blushed. "I told her that it helps to pretend that you're talking to an audience that's watching your life like a tv show. You know, for when life becomes stressful? It sure helps me deal with my big family at times. And it also helps to know that someone is always there for me."
"Dude...that's like the saddest thing I've ever heard." Nikki said, dropping her playful tone. "Do you like, want a hug or something?"

"I'm fine." Lincoln said. "Now where was I?"

During the lunch hour, Lincoln had charged Clyde to distract Liam, Zach, and Rusty so that he could talk to Stella alone. He waited for her outside of the classroom and when she saw him, she gave him a smile and a wave.

"Hey Lincoln, you ready for lunch?" Stella asked him.

Lincoln nodded. "You bet, I'm hungry." He then did something very bold, he reached out and took a hold of her hand.

Stella made a sound that was half shock, half joy, and when their eyes met, Lincoln favored her with a smile. She blushed as she stared at the white haired boy, realizing now just how close he was. She wanted to speak but she found that she couldn't.

"Stella? Would you like to go out with me?" He asked her.

At first Stella remained frozen in place, her face burning crimson and her heart beating faster than it ever had before. She had hoped that he liked her back but never did she think that he actually did! Her hand, which had remained lax in his, returned the gesture and she intertwined her fingers with his. She smiled at him and nodded.

"Great!" Lincoln felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders and he felt like he could take on the world. And feeding off of his new found euphoria, he leaned in and kissed Stella on the cheek, surprising her yet again by his boldness. "I've wanted to do that for a long time now." He admitted.

"Way to go, Romeo, I didn't think you had it in ya." Nikki said, playfully giving him a shove.

"What do you mean? I've dated other girls before you know." Lincoln said, feeling a little offended by her remark.

"So if she liked you then what happened? You mentioned that your sisters got involved somehow." Nikki said, deciding to cut him some slack.

"Well, one of the guys in our group also had feelings for Stella but neither of us knew it at the time." Lincoln explained. "When we told the others that we were dating, he got really jealous."

"Did you kick his ass?" Nikki asked.

"No..." Lincoln shook his head. "But I wish I had. It definitely would've been better than what happened."

"What did he do?" Nikki asked, sensing that the guy must've done something.

"Well, he started to spread awful rumors about Stella. He wanted to break us up and then he planned to swoop in and comfort her." Lincoln said with a heavy sigh. "For months, we dated unaware of what he had been doing behind our backs. And unfortunately my sisters caught wind of it and they turned on Stella."

"Dude, no..." Nikki shook her head, she didn't want to believe that Lincoln's sisters would do something like that. They had been nothing but nice to her!

"Yea...what I'm about to tell you happened about a month ago when Stella and I decided to...take the next step in our relationship." Lincoln said, earning a gasp from Nikki.

"Oh my God, did they catch you two fucking?" Nikki asked, sounding both impressed and scandalized.

"Why is everything about sex with you?" Lincoln asked, his face crimson from both embarrassment and a little annoyance.

"Dude, I'm a girl going through puberty. Sue me." Nikki said. "Just because you don't jerk off that doesn't mean that I don't."

"C-Can I just get on with the story?" Lincoln said, trying his best to not imagine Nikki in her alone time.

"Go for it, Frosty."

It was a warm summer day in the month of May and school had just gotten out. Lucy had heard something almost in passing. Something about her older brother's girlfriend. Using her stealth, Lucy walked closer to the group of older kids that were talking near a trash can.

"Dude, did you hear what that slut, Stella did last night?" One of the boys asked.

"What, the whole football team?" This got a round of laughs from the four boys.
"No, I heard that she was sucking off McCann while she was on the phone with that virgin loser boyfriend of hers." The first boy said.

Lucy was starting to get upset, obviously these boys were just jealous of the fact that her brother and Stella were dating. She was about to turn around and leave when another group that Lucy recognized joined in.

"You guys aren't going to believe this!" Mollie, Lucy recalled, Said excitedly as she joined them. "Rusty just told me the latest news on the Slutta front."

Rusty, who Lucy knew was one of her brother's best friends, sighed as he took center stage. "Poor Lincoln, last week Stella had to cancel a date with him last minute. And I just found out that she did it because she went out with another guy instead." She watched as Rusty pulled out his phone and showed it to everyone. From her vantage point, she could see enough detail in the picture to see that Stella was kissing another boy. A much older boy. "I feel so bad for him, he loves her so much and that slut is just toying with his heart." Rusty continued. "I keep trying to tell him that she's no good for him but he won't listen. If only someone else could talk to him, maybe then they could get through to him."

Lucy had seen enough, angered by what she had just discovered she hurried towards the parking lot and waited for Lori to arrive. Once her sister picked them up, she noticed that Lincoln wasn't there. Good.

"Lori, we need to talk." Lucy said as soon as she sat down in the van.

"Whatever it is it can literally wait until we get home." Lori said, dismissing her sister as she began to drive.

"It's an emergency." Lucy insisted.

Seeing how serious Lucy was, Lori decided to hear her out. "Okay, tell me."

It didn't take long for Lucy to repeat everything that she had overheard. And by the time that she was done, each of her sisters were as enraged as they were.

"That fucking slut!" Lori shouted as she slammed her fit on the dashboard, cracking the plastic. "When I get my hands on her, she's fucking dead!"

"Dude, you're gonna have to get in line behind me. No one two times my little bro and gets away with it!" Luna said.

"Linc said that he would be walking home with that two timing whore today." Lynn said, recalling why her brother wasn't in the van. "If you step on it then we can catch them before it's too late!"

They were so blinded by righteous fury that none of them stopped to even think to question the person involved with spreading the news. It didn't cross their mind to speak with Lincoln or Stella or even to simply observe in order to verify the results. No, they sped home and were hellbent on finding Stella and making her pay for hurting their brother.

"Holy shit dude..." Nikki couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe that that asshole had done something like that to his supposed best friends!

"We haven't even gotten to the worst part yet." Lincoln said.

Lincoln and Stella had been unaware of the impending doom that was barreling their way. They were young, they were in love, and they didn't have a care in the world. And Lincoln had been everything that she had hoped he would be and more that she wanted to do something nice for him. So she asked her older brother what a guy might want as a thank you. His response was something so lewd that she turned red and fled, cursing her brother for not wanting to help. So Stella turned to her older sister and to her surprise, she said the same thing. And while she wasn't sure if she could go through with it, as she walked hand in hand with him towards his house, she felt so happy that she decided that if it was for him that she could do it.

The house was strangely empty when they arrived which only helped embolden her resolve. She felt much better about what she had planned if it was only them in the house. They went into his room and she made sure to lock it.

"So, what did you think about the book that we had to read for our report?" Lincoln asked as he set his backpack down on his desk. He was about to start pulling out their homework when he noticed that she was rather quiet, almost as if something were on her mind. "Stella?"

He watched as she bit her bottom lip before she walked over to him and kissed him. He was stunned at first but he eagerly returned it. He enjoyed kissing her whenever they got the chance but Stella would usually prefer to do that after they did their homework.

She pulled away from him when she needed air. Her face was flushed and her breathing was a little rapid. "Lincoln...I...I love you..." She told him.

It was the first time that either of them had said the 'L' word and he felt a powerful emotion blossom in his chest and take over. "I love you too." He leaned in and captured her lips, kissing her with as much passion as he could muster.

They had never done more than share a few kisses at a time. Lincoln was adamant that Stella be the one to set the pace of their relationship because he didn't want to make her feel rushed or anything. And to his surprise, Stella began to lead him towards his bed as they kissed. Once they reached the edge, she pulled away and grinned.

"You've made me so happy these last few months that we've been together, Lincoln. I love you so much." She said, placing a hand on his chest.

"I love you too, Stella."

"That's why I want to do something nice for you so that you know just how much I love you." Stella then playfully shoved him on the bed. Then she crossed her arms and gripped the hem of her white and red starred shirt.

"S-Stella?" Lincoln asked, wondering if she was actually going to do what it looked like she was going to do.

With a flirty wink and a playful grin, Stella pulled her shirt off revealing her light brown skin that was normally hidden away by her shirt. Lincoln swallowed hard as he stared up at his girlfriend as she reached behind her and undid the clasp of her bra. It popped off and she caught it before it could fall off of her developing chest. All the while her eyes never left his, she drank in his expressions and she felt herself emboldened by his reactions. She especially licked her lips when she saw the noticeable bulge in his jeans.

"Do you like what you see?" She teased him.

But Lincoln couldn't speak. His mind was too busy processing what he was bearing witness to and wondering if perhaps he was caught in a dream.

"I'll take that as a yes." She giggled. She slowly and deliberately let her hands fall away from her chest, revealing her bare breasts to her boyfriend for the first time. She watched as his eyes became glued to her small breasts, licking his lips as he stared. "I'm glad that you like them."

"They're beautiful..." Lincoln breathed out. He sat up and reached up to touch them, stopping an inch away as he looked up at her.

"You can touch them..." Stella said, her body trembling from the anticipation. "I know that they're not that big but-"

Whatever she was about to say was lost as she gasped sharply as Lincoln pulled her close and began to suck on her breast. She squirmed at the sensation of his hot tongue running over the shape of her boobs, playing with her hard nipples. She wrapped her arms around his head and moaned as she enjoyed the feeling of him sucking hard, attempting to drink the nonexistent milk.

While this had not been what she had in mind, Stella had no complaints whatsoever. She loved the feeling of him sucking on her breasts, small as they were. Because Lincoln was the one who was doing it, that's why she loved it. But she still had to give him his surprise so with great reluctance, she pushed him away enough so that she could face him.

"You naughty boy...you almost made me forget that I'm doing this for you, not me." Stella said as she smiled lovingly at him. She leaned in and kissed him on the lips, just a quick one. Then she lowered herself to the carpet floor and knelt in front of him. She undid his belt and grinned when she saw him start to look nervous.

"Relax Lincoln, you have nothing to worry about." Stella said, trying to calm his nerves.

"W-What if it's small?" Lincoln asked her. It was a fear that all boys shared and Lincoln was no exception.
"I'll love you no matter what. After all, you still loved my breasts even though they're still small." Stella said.

"That's different, your breasts are amazing." Lincoln said but he didn't try to stop her.

Stella undid his pants and pulled them down enough so that she could see the bulge that was barely contained by his underwear. She was nervous about what she was about to do, it would be the first time that she had ever seen a penis in real life before. But she had already made up her mind and with a subconscious lick of her lips, she gripped the waistband of his undies and pulled them down.

"Whoa!" Stella pulled back as his hardened member sprang free from his cage like a meaty jack in the box. She had never seen one look so...alive before. It slowly moved back and forth, almost hypnotizing her in a trance as she stared. She could feel a fire burning deep within her, as it had been since they started making out. But now it seemed to intensify, especially as his heavy musk filled her lungs. It made her head spin a little bit but she found herself being drawn in by the scent. Her mouth practically watered as she leaned in, her hands gently gripping his base.

"S-Stella..." Lincoln moaned her name as he felt her soft hands being to move up and down his shaft.

Smiling, she reached the tip of his penis and saw that it was already dripping with precum. She placed her palm on the tip and smeared his fluid all over her hand. Then she brought it up to her nose and inhaled deeply. His scent filled her lungs and she knew at once that she would never be able to get enough.

Eagerly, she lowered down to his-

"Are you really going to tell me in graphic detail about how Stella went down on you?" Nikki asked, interrupting his story. "Because I'm down but I would like to at least get some popcorn first."

"Sorry, I got lost in the story." Lincoln apologized, his cheeks sporting a rosy blush. He wasn't sure why but Nikki was really easy to talk to. He felt at ease with her and he told her as much.

"Heh, it's cuz you're slowly but surely falling in love with my charming looks and my winning personality." Nikki joked, doing that thing where she pushed her hair back while sitting up straight. She stayed still for about two seconds before they both burst out laughing.

"A-Anyways, where was I?" Lincoln said as he calmed down enough to talk.

"You were telling me about how Stella was giving you the best head of your life." Nikki supplied helpfully.

Lincoln moaned as he felt Stella envelope his member with her mouth, taking most of his length in. She wrapped her lips around his shaft and then her tongue began to awkwardly move around his head, tasting him for the first time. He gripped his comforter because he had to hold onto something. His whole world felt like it was spinning, it felt that good to him.

She started to bob her head up and down, sucking and licking his penis as she did. It was sloppy and there were a lot of slurping sounds but Lincoln didn't care. It felt amazing and he was nearing his limit, soon he was going to cum.

"Don't tell me that you're a minute man!" Nikki said with a laugh.

"It was my first time!" Lincoln protested. "Even you wouldn't be able to last that long if I did that to you!"

"Wanna bet?" Nikki asked. She was red in the face but her eyes seemed to playfully challenge him, almost daring him to do it right then and there.

"L-Let's just continue..." Lincoln said.

He tried to call out her name but he was lost in a world of ecstasy. So lost they were that neither of them heard the sound of Vanzilla pulling into the driveway. Nor did they hear the sound of a stampede making its way up the stairs. And as Lincoln called out her name, Stella eagerly sucked just as he exploded in her mouth. And at the same time, the door to his room exploded open as well.

"Holy shit, they broke down the door?" Nikki asked.

"Leni did." Lincoln nodded.

"Leni? How!?" Nikki asked, clearly not believing him.

"I'll tell you..."

When the Loud girls entered the home, they knew that Lincoln must've already arrived since the front door had been unlocked. They rushed up the stairs and Lynn tried to open the door but it was locked. Inside they could hear Lincoln moaning amongst the sounds of a sloppy slurping noise. The older girls knew at once what was going on and it only fueled their rage.

Leni forced her way to the front of the group and with an angry shout, she lunged forward with a punch to the center of the door. There was a loud cracking sound as wood pieces flew in all directions as Leni effectively split the door in two. And as they rushed inside, they saw Lincoln pulling his pants up as Stella coughed beside him, noticeably without her shirt on and with white globs spattered on her chest and face. And seeing her in that state only cemented their convictions.

"What's going on?" Lincoln demanded but it fell on deaf ears as Lynn lunged forward.

"Get away from him you fucking whore!" She shouted.

But Lincoln wasn't having it, he stood protectively in front of his girlfriend who looked terrified as she tried to cover her bare chest. He then stood in stance that Lynn had taught him and he laid his sister out with a single punch to her jaw.

Lynn fell to the floor but she wasn't the only one who made a grab for Stella. Lana jumped from Leni's shoulder towards them and he spun around and kicked her back with a high kick to her chest. Lincoln felt bad about attacking his sisters but that was nothing compared to how he felt about them attacking his girlfriend from out of nowhere.

"Lincoln, you need to step away from that two timing slut and let us throw her out!" Lori shouted as she stood at the head of the pack. Lynn had gotten back up and Luna was flanking her from the other side.

"If you want to get to her then you'll have to go through me!" Lincoln shouted back.

"Get him!" Luan shouted from the back.

Seeing that his sisters had lost it, Lincoln swung his left fist back and struck a hidden panel in the wall that sunk in. From above him a small cannon that was aimed towards the door dropped down from the ceiling and fired a large net that enveloped his sisters. Knowing that he didn't have a lot of time, he spun around and wrapped his left arm around Stella, pulling the sobbing girl close. He then punched another hidden panel on the wall beside that one and the wall just below his round window popped open like a garage door and an inflating slide sprang to life that would take them all the way down.

With Stella safely in his arms, he jumped through the opening and he held onto her until they were safely on the ground. Then he quickly took his shirt off and handed it to her so that she could cover up. As he glanced up at the opening in his room, he saw that Luan had managed to break free and that she was calling him to come back. But he didn't, instead he grabbed Stella's hand and they ran towards her house.

"Hold up, you're telling me that you have a net shooting cannon set up in your room and an escape slide as well?" Nikki asked in disbelief.
"I've seen my sisters do a lot of things...some of them not so great..." Lincoln said in a somber tone. "Some of them towards me...I just wanted to make sure that I could escape if I ever needed to..."
"Lincoln, just say the word and you can come live with me." Nikki said and she was not joking.

"Thanks but we've worked things out now." Lincoln said with a small smile. "It wasn't easy but we got things cleared up in the end. But after what happened, Stella didn't feel safe around my sisters..."

"So you two broke it off..." Nikki surmised.

"Yea..." Lincoln nodded. "A part of me still loves her...but I couldn't keep her safe from my sisters...what if we hadn't been in my room at the time? What if I hadn't set up defenses in my room? What would they have done to her? What would I have done to them?"

"Linc...have you forgiven your sisters?" Nikki asked and she wasn't surprised when Lincoln shook his head.

"I don't think I ever will forgive them. But I am trying to move on at least. Things are a lot better now...as you saw, they pretty much do anything and everything for me because they still feel guilty. And we're honestly trying to be a family again but it's gonna take time."

"My offer still stands, Lincoln." She told him again, reaching out and placing her hand on top of his. She felt glad when he wrapped his hands on her fingers. "Just say the word and I'll come running for you."

"Thanks..." Lincoln said.

"So what happened after you two escaped towards Stella's house?" Nikki asked as they reached the end of his story.

"As you can imagine her parents were confused and upset that their daughter came bursting into their home crying, wearing a shirt that wasn't hers, and me without a shirt. At first they thought that someone had sexually assaulted her because of the smell of semen." Lincoln explained. "It took a little time to explain what happened but thankfully her older brother didn't try to kill me."

"I don't imagine he would since he suggested that Stella give you head in the first place." Nikki commented.

"Anyways, I called my dad using their home phone since I left mine in my room. I quickly told him what had happened and he came to Stella's house to speak with her parents. Unfortunately, my sisters had called my mom and they told her everything that they had overheard."
"Fuck..." Nikki breathed out.

"Yea...it wasn't pretty." Lincoln agreed. "My mom believed them, especially since we had left Stella's shirt and bra in my room. She brought my sisters to Stella's house and she shouted at Stella in front of everyone, calling her terrible things. My dad stepped in though and he slapped my mom before Stella's mom could do it. It had been the first time that my dad had ever raised a hand to my mother and it would also be the last. He demanded to know where my sisters had heard those awful lies and eventually they told him."

"Stella and I sat listening to the whole thing, tears running down our faces because we wouldn't believe what had happened. Stella took it worse than I did because the reason she had transferred to our school had been because she had been bullied in her old school. It got so bad that she couldn't go there anymore. Part of the reason she started to like me was because I was the first person who befriended her when she started at our school."

"Please tell me that you fucked that kid up." Nikki said, referring to Rusty.

Lincoln sighed. "I didn't do anything to him but he's not around anymore."

"Holy shit, did you have him killed?" Nikki asked, sounding both impressed and a little hopeful.

"What? No, his family moved away because of the backlash from what he did." Lincoln said. "I didn't do anything to him but Lynn wasn't so forgiving. She broke both of his arms."

"Good. He deserved it." Nikki said.

"Anyways, ever since then my family has been walking on eggshells around me. They all act like I'm going to snap at any second and take it out on them for what they did." Lincoln continued. "They're so worried about me because of what they did that they're almost afraid to do anything to me just in case they push me over the edge or something."

"So you noticed it, huh?" Nikki asked. She recalled the conversation that she had with Lincoln's mom and it all made sense now.

"Of course I noticed. The only one who still treats me the same is my dad. He was the only one who had my back when the chips were down." Lincoln sighed. "He's the only one I can talk to anymore sometimes."

"Are you depressed, Lincoln?" Nikki asked him. All this time she had thought that he was so strong and that nothing could ever get him down. But as they sat there, she could see that despite being 11 years old that Lincoln seemed much older than that. She could see it in his eyes, the look of a man who had seen and done a lot.

Lincoln shrugged. "I don't think so. I mean, sure, it did take me awhile to get over Stella but you know what they say, if you love someone let them go and if it's meant to be then they'll come back. Who knows? Maybe one day when we're older we can try again."

"W-What if you both find someone new?" Nikki asked, wondering if she even had a chance. She liked him a lot but what if he was still hung up on Stella like she still seemed to be hung up on him?

Lincoln turned to look at her with a grin. "You mean if I meet a cute blonde who's staying at my house?" He teased.

Nikki blushed but she noticed his grin and she playfully shoved him. "Nevermind, I don't think I like you anymore." She said as Lincoln just laughed.

End of chapter.
