August 8, 2017 Loud House, Stairway Tuesday Morning: Lincoln
As Lincoln passed by Luna and Luan he couldn't help but peek at them, forcing scenes from his dream to come back to mind, which made him nearly trip on the steps.
"Today isn't going to be easy.", He thought as he headed towards the kitchen.
He looked through the pantries and took out several cereals, Overly Sensitive Owl, Chunky Puffs, Frosted Suga Hanks, all empty. He then looked at Lola's cereal, Ponypuff Puffs, and nervously grabbed it, only to find it empty as well.
"Dang it." Said Lincoln as he held his stomach, a futile attempt to stop the growling noises spewing forth.
"Hey bro~."
Lincoln turned around to see Lynn approaching him, a grin plastered across her face.
"Hey Lynn. Couldn't you guys save me anything?", Lincoln said gesturing to all the empty cereal boxes.
Lynn's grin grew wider. "I tried telling everybody, but you know how they are. No worries though, I was worried about you so I saved you these."
Lynn then presented several cereal power bars, to which Lincoln graciously accepted. He wasted no time, as he began to devour them all.
"Oh he looks so cute when he's happy.", Lynn thought.
She had decided it was time to nut up or shut up and with all her sisters busy or gone it was just her and Lincoln. She just had to see if he was willing to see her as more than a sister though.
"Feeling better Linc?", She asked as he swallowed the remains of the last power bar.
"So much better, thanks Lynn."
"Anytime. Oh, you got a little something on your lip there."
She approached Lincoln and gently brushed the border of his upper lip swiping off the bits of sugary crumbs onto her own finger. She then placed it into her mouth, closing her eyes and moaning as sexually as she could.
"Gotcha~.", She thought as she opened her eyes to see a flustered Lincoln.
They both gazed at each other, Lynn smiling innocently, Lincoln still wearing a shocked face. Not wanting to give him time to recover she decided to move on to the next phase of her plan.
"So, Lincoln."
"Y-yeah Lynn?" Replied Lincoln, snapping back to focus.
"I was wondering if you'd like to help me practice outside?"
"Um, s-sure Lynn."
"Well, come on then."
Lynn gently took Lincoln's hand and led the way outside, passing by the kitchen trash bin with an assortment of cereal thrown in it. As they walked into the backyard another idea crossed Lynn's mind. Letting go of Linc's hand she bent forward and touched her toes, purposely showing him her backdoor goods. Looking in-between her legs, she could see her plan working as Lincoln stood there biting his lip.
"Just a little more.", She thought.
Lincoln could only take a gulp as he viewed Lynn. Her rump, perfectly toned, switching back and forth between being clothed and bare as Lincoln's dream persisted to come to mind. He couldn't help but bite his lip to try to bring himself back down to earth.
"That was a good stretch. You ready Lincoln?"
Lincoln could only nod as Lynn began her final phase of her plan.
"Alight well I was wondering if we could practice wrestling. That ok with you~?"
"Uh, w-wrestling?", Lincoln stuttered, the thought of touching Lynn pushing him dangerously over the edge.
"Mhm~. I'll even let you have the first charge." Lynn raised both her arms as if she was ready to embrace him. "Come and get me~."
Just a bit of sibling fun is what Lincoln told himself as he charged into Lynn pushing her down to the grass. He pinned her down holding both her arms in place with his hands and felt like he had the upper hand, just like she wanted.
"Not bad Lincoln.", Lynn teased.
She enjoyed the slight smile forming in his face, wanting to kiss him but knowing she had to be patient. When she saw her opening she bucked and moved her arms up causing Lincoln to lose his base of balance. In one clean motion, she brought her right arm free and grappled his chest pushing him over his side.
She blushed and grinned as she thought Lincoln was hers for the taking now. Wanting her prize, she took Linc's leg with her arm and pinned him down with an ankle lock. Holding on was harder than she thought though, as shivers went down her spine as their groins furiously rubbed against each other, due to Lincoln trying to break free.
"Stupid clothes.", She thought.
Lincoln knew he was in a bind, the images of dream Lynn now fully in his mind. He had to break free before it was too late, before the inevitable happened. His eyes opened wide though as he felt it, his blood flow increasing, inflating his erection. He was too wrapped up in his own worries to notice Lynn grinning and enjoying the new feature to her ride.
He felt a wave of embarrassment and was prepared to resign himself to this awkward position till the kitchen door opened. Leni popped out and looked at them causing Lynn to lose her focus, enabling the desperate Lincoln to break free.
"What are you guys up to?" Asked Leni.
Lynn held an annoyed look as she replied. "Wrestling."
"Oh, ok." Leni went back inside only for the sound of a crash to be heard and her screaming, "Lola you shouldn't try to beat Lana to death with your tiara!"
With the distraction gone Lynn turned back to Lincoln only to find him scurrying around the side of the house.
"Hey, where are you going?!", Lynn cried.
"Clyde's house! I uh, forgot we made plans today!", Lincoln shouted back, not even bothering to turn around as he grabbed his bike.
As he sped off Lynn wiped the stray grass clippings from her shorts and let out a defeated sigh.
"Next time." She thought. "Next time your mine. Until then, see you later, big bro."
Lynn then headed back inside thinking of her next plan of attack.
Lynn and Lucy's Room Tuesday Morning: Lucy
After breakfast Lucy had gone straight to her room, half disappointed she didn't see Lincoln, the other wanting to be prepared for him first. She stared at a blank page of a journal in front of her wanting to put her desires in written form. After a couple of seconds passed she wrote a few lines down and studied them.
Soul as pure as nights veiled bliss,
Oh how I pine for your kiss.
Alas a taboo in our way,
Will my feelings make you sway?
To call you brother makes me proud,
The woman who loves you, Lucy Loud.
Decent she thought but it needed more to it. As she stared towards the ceiling her focus was broken by the sounds of grunting. Curious, she approached her window and her eyes expanded slightly as she saw Lynn and Lincoln in the backyard locked together in a pin. If it weren't for the clothes on their backs she could swear they were fucking.
"*sigh* Lucky.", She said as she longingly stared at Lincoln.
She imagined herself asking Lincoln if he wanted to wrestle her, but quickly burst that idea. For one he probably wouldn't take her seriously and two she'd rather stick to her strengths. Unable to block out the continued grunts though, she retreated into her vents for some solitude. Once she was settled she wrote another verse.
As I look upon you down the hall,
My heart hopes you'll hear its call.
Lucy smiled and thought that would go well before the taboo verse. As she enjoyed the low hum from the vents a partial sentence caught her ear.
"-love with Lincoln …"
For a second Lucy thought she just heard it because she had Lincoln in her mind, but her gut compelled her to go forward and check. As she sighed and closed her journal she moved towards the direction of the noise, Luna and Luan's room.
She had made it just in time to see her sisters and hear Luan.
"You … you love Lincoln?"
Lucy's eyes widened and she clasped her hand over her mouth to keep from gasping.
"Luna loves Lincoln as well?", She thought to herself.
Lucy was taken aback further as Luan poured out her feelings too.
"I'm in love with Lincoln too."
Thinking this was a bit much to process now Lucy carefully retreated into the vent. Her mind was clouded however by the declaration of her older sisters and had backed up too far. She cringed as her dress shoes clanged against the vents metallic frame.
"Maybe they didn't hear me." She thought hopefully, though that hope was soon dashed when she heard her sisters.
"Lucy!"
Her heart began to beat rigorously against her rib cage as she made a mad dash for her room , cursing her stupid gut along the way. She just had to beat them to her door she thought; once locked it would give them some time to cool down before they did anything rash. As she exited out of the vents a feeling of doom overwhelmed her as Luna and Luan burst through her door, eyes wide and directed at her.
She dropped her journal and gasped, quickly turning back into her vent but before she could turn around the corner inside Luna had caught her right foot.
"Luan help me out!"
Desperation grew within Lucy as Luan grabbed her other foot. With nothing to grasp onto she slid out of her safety zone. Leni ran through her mind as she thought about screaming but her sisters covered her mouth, erasing that idea.
After a brief exchange between Leni and her captors she was carried back to their room. As they moved, she could have sworn she saw Lynn at the bottom of the stairs but they had moved too quickly for her to get her attention.
When they entered the room, Luna released her grip on her as Luan closed the door. Lucy thought she was done for as they approached her.
"Alright spill it. How much did you hear?", Luna said.
Lucy tried to form her words but the lump in her throat only allowed stuttering to flow through. "I… I…"
"Well?", Luan said, moving to Lucy's side.
Lucy thought quickly, there was no way she could make it to the vents with Luna in the way and Luan at her side. Lying was also out since her actions literally told them what they wanted to know already. She realized her only choice would be to tell the truth, hoping that would buy her enough time for them to calm down.
"I … heard everything after Luan asked you if you loved Lincoln.", Lucy finally blurted out, making Luna cover her eyes in embarrassment.
Lucy also noticed Luan looking down with worry. It pained her heart to see her sisters this way, it was like looking in a reflection at herself. She sighed and knew for better or worse, they all loved Lincoln, competition aside for his affections, she wanted them to feel better.
"I love him too."
Both Luna and Luan looked at Lucy then at each other, trying to guess at what kind of love she meant.
Sensing their disbelief, Lucy repeated herself with more detail. "I love him more than a brother as well same as you two."
"Luce." Luna started. "I … I'm not even sure what to say about that."
"What do you mean by that?", Lucy asked
"Well it's just … aren't you a bit too young for those kinds of feelings?"
Luna's words struck a nerve in Lucy as she fought to control herself from giving an outburst. Instead she took a deep breath and decided to pick away at her standing.
"Luna, I don't think you have the right to say that to me." Said Lucy as she clenched her hands tightly.
Luna raised an eyebrow as Lucy continued.
"For the record, Lincoln is your brother too. Also, before you go off saying I'm not mature enough for these feelings, just remember I'm not some ditzy school kid. I know how I feel …"
Lucy started to tear up, anger turning into sadness from fear of Lincoln saying the same thing to her as Luna just did. She regained some of her composure and continued, tears still flowing.
"I know how I feel. It's like everything burst forth ever since that tape. I've gone over my whole short life with him until this point and I honestly can't see myself with anyone else other than him. He's perfect … So perfect!"
Lucy felt her legs give away and she fell to her knees. Luan moved next to her, feeling a tinge of guilt from forcing Lucy's heartful confession, and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
Lucy continued, seeing no point in hiding a single thing anymore. "That scares me too though … I'm afraid of losing that … losing him. Afraid that if I confess how I feel to him … I'll receive the same words from him as I have from you. I keep telling myself that I'll always be his Luce but as long as that possibility is still there no matter how small, that he'll look at me different … Honestly … I can't even begin to describe how much that truly scares me to my core."
Luna stood there and watched Lucy pour her heart out, her words ringing in sync with her soul. The thought of Lincoln rejecting either her or Luan hadn't crossed her mind, much less how he would react if they confessed. They were too caught up in their own comfort that they felt the same. She moved towards Lucy and began to wipe her tears.
"Lucy." Luna began. "I'm so sorry I said that. I … I should have thought more on what I was going to say. It's just … this is all happening a little fast even I got to admit. First me and Luan and now you. I mean come on who's next, Lori?"
Lucy chuckled at the thought. "Yeah, I can't see that happening with her boo-boo-bear."
The trio shared a laugh with each other unaware of Lori's painful trek with Bobby at the mall.
"Alright well I think we have even more to discuss now, all three of us.", Luan said, messing with Lucy's hair.
A slight smile formed on Lucy. It felt good to finally let her worries out. Misery loves company she thought since she and her sisters were all in the same boat now.
Lucy got back up and headed to the door. "I'll be back, I think better with my journal in hand."
Lynn and Lucy's Room Tuesday Mid-morning
Lucy entered the room and immediately looked in front of the vent for her journal, nothing. She looked under her bed, also nothing. She peered ahead into the vents, nothing as well.
"Where did it go?", Lucy thought to herself.
A whistle then rang out towards her and she looked across the room only to be shocked at who it was. Lynn was laying on her bed, eating an apple in one hand and holding her journal with the other.
Lynn sat up and tossed Lucy's journal back to her.
"We need to talk.", Lynn said as she took another bite of her apple.
Outside the Loud House Tuesday Mid-morning
After a weird exchange with Leni a young girl stood in front of the Loud house with her cell out. She went through her contacts until she landed on Lincoln's name, then began to text.
"Hey lame-o where are you? Joined my brother when he came to see your sister. Figured we could hang out one more time before school starts."
She hit send and waited a few moments before her phone buzzed and looked at his reply.
"Down by arcade with Clyde."
With a smirk Ronnie Ann (age 12) headed down Franklin Avenue. It had been awhile since they played there, maybe they could do that dance game again she thought.
Royal Woods Mall, Right Shopping Corridor Tuesday Afternoon: Lori
After a series of painful rejections towards Bobby's advances and offers of small gifts, Lori felt it was time to talk to avoid further awkwardness.
"Let's sit here Bobby." Said Lori as she took a seat at a bench near a water fountain.
Bobby took a seat next to her and looked at her eyes. They had been gazing into nothing for the past half hour or so.
He nervously scratched the back of his head. "Babe are you feeling alright? You've been giving off a weird vibe all day."
Lori looked glumly towards the ground. "Is it that noticeable?"
"Well, yeah. Um, please don't get mad, but is it that time of the month?"
"Ha … no … I wish though."
Bobby took Lori's hands into his own and gently traced the top of her hands with his thumbs. "Well what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything."
Lori sighed and stared at his hands. Not even a slight twinge of her heart went off when he grabbed hers. Had their love really been so strong that it could die off this easily.
She had sort of hoped to feel something during their time hanging out but no sparks went off. Instead she just wanted to go home, to see Lincoln.
She sighed and kept her gaze on Bobby's hands unwilling to see the result of her words on him. "Bobby."
"Yeah babe?"
"… This isn't going to be easy. I doubt it ever is … least when it involves people with a conscious."
"Babe?"
"Bobby … I want to break up.", Lori felt his hands stiffen and tighten slightly.
"W-what?"
"I want to break up … I know this line sounds so played out but, it's not you it's me."
"Break up? What's changed? Is it because I moved in with my mother's family?", Lori could easily hear his tone of voice slightly breaking.
Lori thought for a moment whether she should tell him the truth, ultimately settling on that he at least deserved to know some of it. "It's just that … I've fallen for someone else."
His grip tightened slightly further. "Y-you cheated on me?"
"No! … No I swear I haven't … He doesn't even know how I feel for him."
Bobby's grip tightened further. "Who is he?"
"Bobby, plea-"
"WHO IS HE?!"
His grief overwhelmed him, not noticing he was squeezing the color out of Lori's hand.
"Bobby please! … Your'e hurting me …"
Lori could feel the eyes of passerby's with nothing better to do on them.
Realizing what he was doing Bobby let go. "I-I'm sorry …"
They stayed silent for what seemed like hours on end, till a man walked up to them. "Excuse me miss?"
Lori looked up and saw a burly mall security cop with the name tag Ernie, someone must've been concerned about her she thought. "Yes?"
Ernie gestured towards Bobby. "Is this man bothering you?"
"No, no he isn't I swear. He's just going through some things … we both are."
With a face of not being entirely convinced Ernie simply nodded and passed on by. Lori then looked back to Bobby and looked at his face for the first time since they sat. She could easily tell he was fighting back tears as he stayed staring at the ground.
She hated that she made him feel this way, he really was a nice guy. It was because he was nice that she had to do this though, she couldn't drag him on after all.
She decided to try and scrape up what little connection they still had if any was left. "Bobby … I would still like for you to be part of my life … I still consider you a friend, a good friend. You've been an important part of –"
Lori couldn't finish as Bobby simply got up and left, not even turning back to give her a look.
"I'm sorry.", She thought as he slowly mingled in with the crowds of people shopping.
Lori cupped her face in her hands, though no tears were shed.
She noticed this and she couldn't help but put on a fake smile as she muttered to herself. "Wow … you're a real bitch huh … do you even deserve Lincoln? …"
Her phone buzzed and she checked it to see a message from her mother. She and Lynn Sr. were going to come out of work soon and needed Lori to pick them up. With a heavy sigh, she got up and walked towards the malls entrance. She really needed to speak with Leni now, if not to confess then just to feel better.
AN
As always leave a review of what you thought or if you spot any mistakes. I'll also answer any questions you guys may have. Honestly could of made this chapter 5k words at least but I felt it would be better to cut out some things and instead put them in the next chapter. Also little treat, without cheating, can you name all the cereal brands I put in the morning chapter to the proper shows they belong to?
