After all of the Loud siblings are done getting ready for the morning, they head downstairs waiting at the door and Lori does a head check as usual.

"7, 8, 9, and….ugh WHERE IS LENI?!" Lori shouted.

"I don't know." Lincoln says, "Last I heard you said she was doing something in your guy's room."

"Omg like there's totes no reason to worry guys!" Leni says walking down the stairs in her usual school getup.

"What took you so long?" Lori asks.

"I...I...I just had to freshen up a bit more before it was time to leave hahaha."

Lori looks at Leni wildly confused, but not caring at the same time, "Whatever I guess, alright everyone in the van. We don't want to be late."

Everyone piles into Vanzilla, and just as Lincoln sits down in his seat, Leni zips immediately to the one next to him.

"Hi Lincy!" Leni says with a warm, welcoming gleam across her face (almost a bit too much for Lincoln's comfort).

"Hey Leni." Lincoln says a bit worriedly, as if to signal for her to back away a couple of centimeters.

The ride to school is typically very short, seeing as how school is only about 8 minutes away from the Loud House, but for Lincoln, it is the most painfully long 8 minutes he's ever had to endure. With Leni constantly inching closer to him, brushing through almost every bristle of his hair, and even just straight up laying on his lap like an attention seeking kitten.

They finally arrive at the middle school to drop off Lincoln, but not before possibly the most embarrassing moment Lincoln will ever have to deal with in his life.

"Wait Lincy!" Leni yells to Lincoln as he steps only 3 feet away from the van. "Let me hold your hand till you get to the door so you don't trip!"

The only thought going through Lincoln's head as this comes out of her mouth. (Are you kidding me?)

Leni races over to Lincoln and grabs his hand. As Leni does this, Lincoln looks around and everyone is holding on to their mouth to prevent a serious giggle from suddenly erupting. Lincoln sees this and his face begins to redden, and it only gets worse as Leni walks him over to the door without a care in the world. Lincoln doesn't interrupt her, or let go because he knew her intentions were pure, and he didn't want to hurt the feelings of possibly the most caring sister he has. They finally make it to the door, and by this point, Lincoln's face has the same resemblance of a tomato.

Leni kneels down, and takes Lincoln's face into her hands "Ok I want you to have a good day, I love you!" Leni then kisses Lincoln on the forehead causing the laughter to burst out in a sudden boom. Lincoln attempts to just let it go and walk inside, but not before Leni yells at him as he's entering "If anything happens or if you get a boo boo, be sure to call me!"

Lincoln then runs inside the school in shame of how much his sister just embarrassed him. (Who does she think she is? Mom?) Lincoln says to himself in thought.

As the day passes by, Lincoln is about to exit the school, being thankful that all of his classes are finally over, but then a group of ruffians (about 5) stop him dead in his tracks. "Hey fellas! Would ya look at that, it's the little tomato from this morning!" The leader says in a mocking and demeaning tone. The rest of the group laughs and pokes at Lincoln calling him things like "wuss" or "mommas boy".

"SHE'S NOT MY MOM, OKAY?! SHE'S JUST LOOKING OUT FOR ME!" Lincoln roars at the leader.

"Aw, little baby's getting upset. Make sure to call your babysitter or whatever the fuck she is then!" The group then shoves Lincoln out of there whilst still mocking him.

(*Sigh*, how am I gonna be able to live like this?) Lincoln thinks to himself as he makes his way to his house.


Meanwhile at The Loud Residence…

Leni, Lori, and Luna were almost always the first ones home since the high school let out earlier than the lower level schools. After Lori dropped off Leni and Luna at home she then looked back at them and said "I'll be home late, Bobby is taking me to dinner and then we're going to see a movie. There should be some of Dad's lasagna in the fridge."

Lori made sure that her younger siblings knew what to do while she was gone since Rita and Lynn Sr. left her in charge of the house while they were on vacation.

"Awww! That's so romantic!" Leni squealed.

"I know! Bobby is literally the best! Anyways I love you guys! And make sure that the others make it home!" Lori yelled to them as she pulled out of the driveway.

"Love you!" Leni and Luna both shouted to Lori as she drove off.

"Welp, I'm gonna go practice some in the garage sis." Luna says to Leni. "If ya need help with anything like dinner or calming the others down let me know." Luna says as she knows that sometimes taking care of 7 other siblings by yourself can be a pretty gruesome task.

"Ok! Thanks Luna!" Leni says cheerfully.

As Luna grabs her axe from her room and makes for the garage, Leni sits on the couch and watches old episodes of "The Dream Boat" while waiting for her younger siblings to come home.

It's about 3 minutes into the show that Leni realizes something that sends a chill down her spine "...Lincy hasn't called me all day!" She squeals in a panicked tone. "What if he's hurt? What if he's being picked on?" Leni questioned herself as she didn't receive any updates from Lincoln all day.

She knew that she told Lincoln just to call her if he got a "boo boo" but the thing about Lincoln is that he usually keeps to himself and if he has a problem he tries to solve it by himself. Leni also knew that he did this to keep his sisters from worrying about him; because when they usually interfered, things would get rough quickly. But also because he cared about them and didn't want them to worry about them (Which is the reason Leni preferred to think about.)

"Such a nice...caring...sweet...loving...oh….oh gosh…" Leni drones on to herself as she feels her lower body begin to drastically rise in temperature. She starts to rub herself lightly down there to ease the sensation. But then she realizes as he jerks both her hands to her face "Leni, stop! You told yourself you would only do this in the morning or nighttime!"

After she scolds herself, Leni takes a deep sigh and looks at the ground.

(*Sigh*, how am I gonna be able to live like this?)

Both Leni and Lincoln take a deep breath as Lincoln heads toward home and Leni waits patiently for him on the couch.
