Disclaimer: I do not own "The Loud House"


August 7, 2017 Royal Woods Mall, Entrance Monday Morning

Even though the day was still premature the mall was still somewhat packed as Lincoln and his sisters entered. Most of the gang had calmed down somewhat, especially Luna and Luan given the situation they were stuck in.

"Alright guys." Said Lori. "Let's do this nice and easy and split up. Luna, you go with the twins."

"Mk dude.", Luna replied, taking both Lana and Lola's hands and heading off.

"Luan, you're with Lisa."

"Please refrain from engaging in your comedic acts while we purchase our supplies.", Lisa said to Luan as they walked away together.

"Oh c'mon, we'll have a pun-tastic time mark my words.", Luan replied holding up a marker, giggling afterwards which Lisa could only sigh to.

"Leni, you're with me and Lily."

"Ok.", Leni simply stated, disappointed she couldn't be paired with Lincoln.

"Then lastly Lincoln." Lori said while trying with all her might not to get flustered with him looking at her. "You're with Lynn and Lucy."

Upon hearing their names both Lynn and Lucy started to panic a bit, unable to voice their protests for fear of being questioned why.

Slightly nervous still, Lincoln walked past his sisters. "Come on guys, let's get this over with."

Both Lynn and Lucy simply followed, cautiously keeping their distance. They arrived a few minutes later at Staples and noticed that other mothers had the same idea as theirs, seeing the store packed.

"This isn't going to be easy." Lincoln said. "Alright guys what should we get first?"

Lynn and Lucy stayed quiet for a second, till Lucy worked up enough courage to respond. "I sort of planned ahead and hid some composition books and paper stacks behind some shelves. If we're lucky they should still be there."

"Nice tactics Lucy.", Lynn said, messing with Lucy's hair a bit.

"Way to plan ahead Lucy.", Lincoln added giving her a smile.

Lucy blushed and moved on ahead stammering. "F-follow me."

As they squeezed and worked their way around the people in the store they soon arrived at their destination, the back-right corner. Lucy peeked behind the shelves there and recognized the shadows of the supplies she hid.

"They're still here. Watch my back while I get them." Said Lucy as she squeezed in behind the shelves, leaving Lynn alone with Lincoln.

"Great … just great." Lynn thought, getting nervous.

She took a small peek at Lincoln but looked away immediately when she thought he looked in her direction. "God, am I that nervous around him?! Still?!"

Just then a few busy mothers, unable to get out from one part of the store decided to detour near the two siblings. As they moved past the duo, one of them bumped into Lynn pushing her forward.

"I got you Lynn!", Lincoln said catching her mid-fall.

"Hey lady! Watch where you're going!", Lynn said, only to receive a slight scowl from the woman as she continued on.

Lincoln glared at the woman as she left. "The nerve of some people, huh Lynn."

"Yeah some people can be a real pain in the-", Lynn stopped, realizing now how she was being held by Lincoln.

Their chests were close enough to the point she could compare her heartbeat with his. She smiled a bit at how in sync they were. She could also see he had a bit of a growth spurt, looking like he beat her by an inch now making him at least five feet one tops. She then looked down turning red as Lincoln looked back to her.

He gave her a look over just to make sure she was ok then blushed, realizing he was holding her a bit too close, immediately letting go.

"I uh, should go check what's taking Lucy so long." Said Lincoln as he peeked behind the shelves, seeing she was slowly making her way back with supplies in tow.

Lynn looked back at Lincoln and immediately her eyes went towards his rear. Oh, how many times he did his little booty shake dance. Not enough she thought, gently biting her lip. What she wouldn't give to take a little nibble out of that.

"Ass.", Lynn blurted out, making her panic on the spot.

"Huh?", Lincoln began slowly turning back.

"Uh, that woman! She was an ass! Just wanted to finish my sentence!"

Lynn gave a breath of relief as Lincoln shrugged and returned to watching over Lucy. She was a bit angry over herself how she was easily losing it around him. Though with what she came to feel last night she couldn't help it now.


August 6, 2017 Lynn and Lucy's Room Sunday Night: Lynn

Lynn immediately took off her shirt, shorts, and bra as soon as she heard her door close. She then opened her dresser taking out a plain white polo shirt and slipped it on. With a good stretch beforehand she plopped, back first, on her bed.

"G'night Lucy."

"Goodnight Lynn"

After a few minutes of being unable to sleep Lynn's mind wandered back to the days earlier tape viewing moment and began to think. "Geez that was embarrassing. Least everyone else got embarrassed too though."

The thought of the promise in the video then came in. "Pfft dumb tape. Dumb dork too. Can't believe he honestly said that, I mean sure he was four but still, cheesy even then, huh Lincoln."

She rubbed her eyes and sighed unknowingly in unison with Lucy.

"Couldn't even look at his face afterwards now that I think about it. Why was that? Never had that problem before … Meh, I'm sure I'll get over it tomorrow and be back to playing around with Lincoln."

The thought brought a smile to her face. Least Lincoln was cool in that regard.

Yeah sure, her sisters would indulge her every now and then but she could always count on Lincoln. She would always ask him from time to time though if he wanted to. He, of course being the caring guy he is, would say yes but she knew he was lying, knew that he'd rather be inside playing video games and reading ace savvy comics in his underwear. Yet still, he always told her he wanted to be with her and that always made her happy.

"Wonder if we could bunk again. Last time was pretty fun." She remembered that event fondly. All cause of a little spat with Lucy she ended up sleeping next to Lincoln.

"Heh, he looked so cute when he was sleeping. Don't think I've slept that comfortable again in months."

She closed her eyes and pictured his sleeping visage, so peaceful, just makes you want to snuggle up to him, maybe even give him a slight peck on the lips, just a peck.

Lynn opened her eyes and stared blankly forward, realizing she was French kissing her pillow subconsciously. Slowly she slid her tongue back in her mouth and began to freak out slightly.

"What … the … fuck …"

Her mind was never one for beating around the bush, anything that came to mind came hard and truthful. A flash of memories went through her head, mostly of her times playing the more hands on physical sports with Lincoln, each one making her rise in heat.

She gave a slight gulp and felt her face, noticing she was grinning like some love-struck puppy. All those thoughts of touching Lincoln turned her on? She moved her legs slightly and felt a tinge of pleasure slick up from her womanhood.

"Shit.", Lynn thought, there was no point denying it.

She replayed everything she thought from different angles but the end result was the same. She wasn't happy with it, well she was, but she never expected it to be Lincoln. Then again, he was perfect in every way, well, except physically perhaps. Though she wouldn't mind helping him with that problem, how'd she go about it would be no problem at all.

With a blushed face, she buried her face in her pillow knowing full well she'd first have to get over her newfound shyness around him.

As she bit her lips she thought she might as well think it. First step to controlling her nerves was admitting to the problem after all. So, with a smile, she let the single thought run through her head.

"I'm in love with …"


August 7, 2017 Royal Woods Mall, Staples Store Monday Afternoon: Lincoln, Lynn, Lucy Group

After waiting for Lucy to come out from the shelves on her own, due to her not wanting to take Lincoln's hand, the trio gathered the rest of what they needed while being careful not to get into a tug-of-war with any of the mothers there. They then moved towards the front of the store, thankfully finding the line at the registers not too crowded.

"Ugh this is taking forever!", Lynn moped after only a minute of standing behind Lincoln.

"Least the line is moving at a steady pace." Lincoln answered as he took notice of Lucy who was starting to wobble her arms. "Doing ok Lucy?"

"Yes.", Lucy simply stated.

"You sure? I can see your arms shaking."

"Don't worry I can manage."

"Oh, ok then."

In truth Lucy's arms weren't shaking from fatigue, but from the slight touch of Lincoln's breath on the back of her neck. It felt nice, though it was hard to stay focused she admitted.

The line started to move forward until one person dropped an item and bent forward to pick it up. The woman next to her suddenly stopped causing a bumping domino effect to take place in line.

Unfortunately, Lucy was unaware of this as she took a step forward and the woman's ass in front of her gave her a big shove back towards Lincoln.

Going into big brother mode Lincoln caught her in-between his arms. "You okay Luce?"

"Yeah thanks Lin-", Lucy uttered before she stopped mid-sentence, noticing the way Lincoln held her to be comparable to a lovers embrace.

She immediately flared up and dropped the supplies she held, the immediate noise of the falling items snapping her back into awareness.

"Dang it … I'm sorry.", She said as Lincoln gently let her go.

"It's ok Lucy.", Lincoln said with a smile as he messed with her hair slightly.

He then started picking up everything from the floor.

Lucy held out her arms. "I can hold some of that"

Lincoln simply smiled. "It's ok Luce, I got this. Just rest your arms ok? You must be more tired than your letting on, your face is red after all."

Lucy turned around in embarrassment and just agreed with him, though in her mind she thought something else. "Oh Lincoln, if only you knew the truth."

She then looked to the ground and remembered her thoughts of last night.


August 6, 2017 Lynn and Lucy's Room Sunday Night: Lucy

While Lynn was changing, Lucy pulled out her miniature coffin and took out her sleeping shirt, which was exactly the same as her regular shirt, though to her there was a difference. She switched shirts and, after checking to see if Lynn was in bed, turned off the lights. She laid in her bed and crossed her arms and welcomed the peaceful darkness.

"G'night Lucy."

"Goodnight Lynn."

Lucy stared at the ceiling unable to sleep, she knew why though, she just thought she could push the thoughts down.

"Alright, let's do this then.", She thought seeing no other way around it.

Lucy thought back to the tape viewing and recollected how she felt. If reading all her books taught her anything it was that she had feelings suppressed for her brother. The tape being the catalyst her deepest feelings needed to burst forth.

"An item of both foreshadowing and inciting force … classic.", She thought thinking of her literary knowledge.

She sighed, ignorant of Lynn's own as they synced, and continued her thoughts. She liked Lincoln it wasn't exactly difficult to believe as she could easily list why. He was her light after all, ever since she was born apparently according to the tape.

Of course he doted over her when he could, she was his little sister she understood this, but he always went beyond that. One such example was taking the entirety of the humiliation the princess pony incident brought saving her from any grief. In fact, he didn't judge her one bit and treated her the same. Not a laugh, not even a slight smirk, a rare personality to see in anyone really.

He was perfect in every way, the only barrier being the taboo of their blood ties and age, though that in itself held an alluring quality to her. She moved her crossed arms up and placed both hands over her fast beating heart.

"My body can't deny the truth and lie. Lincoln … would you look at me different if I told you how I felt? Would I still be your Luce?"

She shook the silly notion out of her head. Of course she would be, it was him after all. She could be blind deaf and dumb the next day and she would still be his Luce.

She closed her eyes and reveled in her accepted fate. "Lincoln … I'm in love with Lincoln."


Loud House Sunday Night

"I'm in love with Lincoln."

Those five words echoed in unison among five of the siblings in the house. Unbeknownst to each other of their roommate's similar affections much less the others, except Leni who believed everyone was on the same page.


August 7, 2017 Royal Woods Mall, Left Shopping Corridor Monday Afternoon: Lori, Leni, Lilly Group

"Lincoln!", Lily said, looking at all the strangers that passed her by.

"Aw, that's totes sweet. She's got Lincoln stuck in her head." Said Leni.

"Yes, she certainly does today. That's like what? Literally the thirty-fourth time she's said his name.", Lori replied a bit annoyed at the reminder but a bit understanding at the same time given her situation.

"Ok Leni, we have everything you need, is there anything you want to do? We have-", Lori looked at her cell, "Twenty minutes."

Leni thought for a bit unable to come up with anything in particular.

"Lincoln!", Lily said as she poked Lori's cheek.

"*sigh* That makes thirty-five. How about doing your big sis a favor and go back to saying poo-poo? Hm?", said Lori with a hopeful grin.

"Lincoln!", Lily replied with a giggle making Lori frown.

Leni then came up with an idea, but instantly lost it.

"Lincoln!", Lily said a final time before Lori stuck a pacifier in her mouth.

The idea reappeared in Leni's head. "Oh like, I know what I want to do! Can we go to the fabric store really quick? I need some designer supplies."

Lori nodded and followed Leni as she skipped towards the store. Once there Leni gathered everything quickly as she knew exactly what she wanted to do, help Lincoln and get ready herself. She counted everything over once but eventually asked Lori to help her as she kept getting stuck whenever she reached past the number forty.

"Like, this is a lot of fabric Leni. What are you going to use it all for?", Lori queried.

"It's a surprise but I do need a model the same size as me. Want to be it when I'm done making my dress?" Leni said with pleading eyes.

Lori simply rolled her eyes and nodded as Leni hugged her. The two teens paid for the fabric then started for the malls entrance with Lori texting everyone it was time to go along the way. She was about to put the phone away but then, upon remembering something she had to do, brought brought back out.

She texted Bobby they needed to talk, preferably in person.


Royal Woods Mall, Entrance Monday Afternoon

After a few minutes, everyone was eventually gathered by the entrance with school supplies in hand.

"Alright everyone get everything they need?" Lori asked, getting a confirmation nod from all. "Ok then, let's get back to the van."

Some of the older siblings paused for fear of the mornings everywoman for herself fight advancing to round two.

Upon noticing this, Lisa decided to diffuse the situation. "Lincoln."

"Yeah Lis?"

"I was wondering if you could sit with me on the ride back home?"

The question gave the girls a glimmer of hope.

"Uh sure I guess."

Lisa could feel her sisters' silent gratitude as Lincoln gave his answer.

"Oh those sad love-struck fools", She thought.

The group headed towards the van with Lola, Lana, and Lucy in the back row, Lincoln in-between Lisa and Lily in the third row, and the second row was occupied by the relieved Luna, Luan, and Lynn.

Lastly Leni took the passenger seat by Lori. With everyone buckled up Lori was about to head home when her phone vibrated. She tapped on the screen and saw a text from Bobby asking if tomorrow was ok. She sighed and replied yes, dreading what she would even say or do.

She looked in her rear-view mirror, at Lincoln. Lori knew this wouldn't be easy, she needed help. As she drove back home she decided then and there that she would confide in Leni after she talked with Bobby tomorrow. After all she was her closest sister being her roommate, who else could she trust.


Loud House Monday Evening

As they pulled home everyone got out and stretched. Each eager to eat dinner and get a decent night's rest. What Lori didn't know though was that each lovesick sister had a similar idea of confiding.

Later in the woes of night everyone rested save for Lincoln who had his hands rubbing his temples as he was a bit worried about today. How being so physically close to each of his sisters made him feel calm, happy even. He let out a sigh and felt unconsciousness take him.

His final thoughts worried him though as he fell asleep.

He was getting nervous.

He was starting to desire their affection.

He was breaking.


AN

Finished this within a day only cause my Saturday classes all got canceled so don't expect a one day update to happen again anytime soon. Anyways any thoughts or mistakes you spot please mention in a review. That being said who are you rooting for personally in this fanfic? I'm sure everyone has a favorite, I know I do but I'm trying my best not to be biased. This chapter marks my longest one yet without author notes albeit by just a few words. Oh one last thing. Since I met my personal quota for followers, chapters, etc. I've updated my bio for any interested. It's not much but I figure getting to know the author a bit helps you understand his writing process.
