The Loud House: Memory of A Promise

Part 1: Recorded Memory Chapter: 11 Den of the Lioness

Disclaimer: I do not own "The Loud House"


Questions: Dread55: Will you give Lincoln cover up girlfriends to hide the incest? Mmm can't say but I will say as a reminder that school is just around the corner for the majority of the Loud children. It would be nice to meet up with some of Lincolns old friends and acquaintances right.

iquinn18: Since Halloween is coming up I was wondering, will you do a special chapter for Halloween and eventually Thanksgiving along with Christmas/New Year's when these holidays come up? Yes. Though I am a bit worried if I will make it in time for Halloween. If I can finish part one I can really zip by the days.

iquinn18: Will we see Bobby again? Will Bobby become a antagonist to Lincoln if/when he finds out Lincoln was the "The Other Guy" that Lori was talking about to him? That all depends on Ronnie Ann, seeing as she's the only one with a reason to visit Royal Woods anymore. Also who knows how Bobby will react if he found out about that info much less if Lincoln and Lori actually got together.


August 9, 2017 Lana and Lola's Room Wednesday Morning: Lola

Beep Beep Beep

"Mmm … five more minutes of beauty sleep.", Lola mumbled in her sleep.

Beep Beep Beep

"I said … five more minutes …"

Beep Beep Beep

With a sigh Lola sat up and turned off her alarm, giving a good stretch and a yawn afterwards. She looked to Lana who was still passed out in bed and slowly made her way towards her.

"Lana." Said Lola as she shook her sisters arm.

Steadily Lana's eyes opened and she sat up while the plethora of household pets around her merely shifted to more comfortable positions. She then faced Lola and formed a lazy smile.

"Mornin sis", Lana said as a stream of morning breath with a hint of dumpster confectionaries plastered Lola's nostrils.

Immediately Lola lurched back as she held back last night's dinner within her stomach.

"Ugh! Lana your breath smells like something died in you!", Lola remarked.

"Then don't smell it.", Lana retorted.

"Blech! Well whatever c'mon let's go, I don't want to be last in line for the bathroom." Said Lola as she gathered her dress for the day.

"Right behind ya.", Lana replied as she followed Lola out with a spare overall.

As the twins headed out of their dwelling Lola noticed the bathroom was wide open for the taking, causing her to snicker as she ran in. She basked in her claimed prize until Lana joined her and then both proceeded to start their daily groom in the shower.

"So." Lana said while she squirted some shampoo onto her scalp. "Lincoln do that proposal thingy yet?"

"Tch, no not yet. He's got four days left.", Lola replied.

"Oh alright. So, uh, why do you want that again?"

"The proposal? Duh, because he already proposed to all our other sisters and had the gall to call them the prettiest. Clearly, I am the prettiest, according to my filled-up pageant trophy case."

"So what, he's just going to be your husband forever afterwards?"

"Eh, he'll suffice. I'll have him clean up my side of the room and do my laundry for me until I upgrade to a celebrity or something."

"Ouch, harsh."

"Whatever." Said Lola as she turned off the shower head.

After a few minutes Lana and Lola headed down the hall and towards the stairs till Lola paused.

"Aren't you coming down to eat?", Lana asked.

"You go on ahead. Lincoln needs another reminder of the proposal he's got to give or else he'll get what's coming to him.", Lola said with a toothy grin.

"Like what?"

"Mmm~ I'm stuck between either destroying his ace savvy comics or rubbing his entire underwear collection with poison oak."

"Yeesh. Well good luck with that."

As Lana proceeded down the steps her other siblings poured out of their rooms, ignoring them Lola moved on to Lincolns room and opened his door.

"Linco- blech!"

As Lola entered his room a pungent smell entered her nostrils forcing her to clamp her nose with her fingers.

"Ah! Lincoln! What is that smell?!", Lola cried out.

From the covers of Lincoln's bed Leni sat up with a blushed and surprised face.

"Leni? What are you doing here?!"

"Uh, sleeping?", Leni plainly answered

"I mean why are you here?"

"Oh, Lori said that we had a sister fight protocol but then Lincy told me we don't anymore. He still let me have the room for the night though and it was totes fun."

"Ok, but what's with the smell?!"

Leni nervously looked away while she sheepishly replied. "Uh, I don't know?"

"Ugh it's too strong. Just tell me where Lincoln is."

"Oh, um Lori's room I think."

Not wanting to stay further in the gas chamber of a room Lola closed the door, accepting Leni's answer.

"Hm … maybe I should crack open a window.", Leni thought as she noticed how strong her scent was purveying Lincoln's room.

After filling her lungs with fresh breathable air Lola moved down the hall towards Lori's room. As she reached for the handle to her door however she was picked up by Luna who had just come out of the restroom.

"Whoa there sis, can't go in there. Sister fight protocol is in affect and Lori is probably not in a good mood still." Said Luna.

"Gah! Put me down! Leni told me that the fight was off just now." Countered Lola.

"It is?", Lynn said standing near the bathroom door with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes! Lincoln told her it was and speaking of, if you can put me down now I'd like to speak with him!" Said Lola as she struggled in Luna's grasp.

A puzzled look formed on Luna's face. "Lincoln's on the couch dude."

"Well Leni said he was in there."

Luan then poked her head out of the bathroom, her mouth still full of toothpaste. "Lincoln is in Lori's room?!"

"Uh … let me check myself." Said Luna as she reached for the doorknob while Luan and Lynn looked on with anticipation.

Just then the door flung open and Lori popped out, her face beaming and a smile plastered on her face, causing Luna to be taken aback, dropping Lola.

"Uh Lori? … You ok?", Lynn asked.

Lori focused her gaze on her sisters and her smile deepened.

"Never better!" Lori said with abundant glee. "Who wants breakfast?! I'll cook!"

Lori then walked past her sisters as they stared at her with gaped eyes.

"W-what about your shower?", Luan stammered.

"Oh~ its ok. You guys go first, I'll take one after I make and eat breakfast." Said Lori as she continued down the hall, wanting to enjoy her light aroma just a little longer, the smell reminding her of last night.

The group watched Lori as she made her way into Lincoln's room and embraced Leni in a hug before heading down the stairs.

"That, was weird." Lucy said, scaring her other sisters. "… *sigh* Did you guys not even notice me? I've been here the entire time."

"Blech! It's that smell again! … And where's Lincoln?!", Lola cried out as she peered into Lori's room.

Regaining her senses Luna answered. "Told ya dude, he's on the couch."

In a small fit of anger Lola moved down the hall towards the steps, searching for her target. Luna moved to close Lori's door but stopped mid-way as a pungent order flared against her, causing her to pinch her nose.

"Whoa, it does smell kinda funky.", Luna said as the other sisters took a curious sniff themselves.

"Hm … smells familiar …" Said Luan, holding a finger to her chin as she tried to place the connection.

Lisa then emerged from her room and headed towards the bathroom only to stop and gag at the pungent odor herself.

"Oh by sweet Akhiezer's theorem! Which one of you stimulated your genitalia vigorously enough to fumigate the entirety of the hallway?!", Lisa cried out as she cupped her nose with both hands.

Her siblings gave her blank stares, as per usual, which elicited a sigh from Lisa as she simplified her words once more. "Who masturbated enough to the point of the smell to waft all over the hallway?"

The other sisters merely gawked at Lisa with flushed faces at the realization of what the smell actually was. Luna then thought back to what Lola had said, that Lincoln was supposedly there, causing a flurry of theories to run through her mind. She shook her head pushing them all out as she noticed Leni approaching.

"Later." Luna thought. "I'll bring it up with the rest later."

Luna looked towards her partners in her shared endeavor and they nodded towards each other, thinking the same thing.


Loud House, 2nd Floor Hallway Wednesday Morning: Lori

"Today is just oh so B-E-A-UTIFUL!", Lori thought as she left her sisters stunned, proceeding down the hallway.

She began to turn to head down the steps but stopped, deciding to keep moving forward thinking she couldn't forget about dear Leni.

She opened the door and saw that Leni was just finishing making up Lincoln's bed, so lost in her own mind she didn't notice the smell of Leni's late-night workout circulating the room still.

"Leni!" Said Lori as she embraced her sister in a tight hug and kissed her cheek.

"Hey Lori! Good morning!", Leni happily replied.

"Oh Leni, I'm sorry about last night."

"Oh it's ok, Lincy told me everything."

"I know he told me that. Isn't he the best?! Still though, I'm sorry. How about I make you a big breakfast?"

"Really?!"

"Heh, yes really."

"Yay!"

"I love you Leni … please always remember that. After breakfast come up back to our room. We have A LOT to talk about."

"Aw, I love you too Lori and ok!"

With a tiny squeeze of her hug Lori finally let go of Leni and proceeded down the stairs stopping as she saw Lincoln still knocked out on the couch. With an endearing sigh, she slowly made her way towards him. She looked at his adorable face, so peaceful looking she thought as she looked around to see if anyone was watching.

When the coast seemed clear she knelt beside him and planted a gentle kiss on his lips, resulting in a smile forming while he slept. Her heart swooned at the sight and she lingered for a bit.

"Ah, can't dawdle." She thought. "Have to make everyone breakfast, especially Leni, even more so Lincoln … Lincy~."

With one last caress of Lincoln's cheek she got up and moved towards the kitchen only to find Lana, head first in the trash making munching noises.

"Lana what are you doing? … And eating?", Lori asked.

Lana got up from the trashcan and gulped down whatever she had in her mouth before speaking. "Just some cereal. I was looking for some in the pantry but they were all gone, so I went rummaging through the trash for any dinner leftovers and all the cereal was on the bottom there apparently."

Lori simply messed with Lana's hair not caring as much at how disgusting that was, as she was still high on happiness.

"You don't have to eat trash Lana. I'm going to cook us all breakfast. Ok?" Said Lori.

"Whoa really? You hardly ever do that! What's the occasion?!", Lana asked with gleaming eyes.

"Oh~ just happy is all. Now go brush your teeth and wait at the table."

Without arguing Lana rushed out of the kitchen and up the steps as Lori opened and rummaged through the fridge.

"Now what does a wonderful growing man need? … Bingo!", Lori thought as she collected the ingredients for Lincoln's breakfast.


Loud House, Living Room Wednesday Morning: Lincoln's Dream

Euphoria … Yes, that was the best word to describe how he felt at this moment, this amazing moment. Lincoln turned his gaze down at his two eldest sisters as they fought for sovereignty over his cock while they laid on his bed. A smile lay plastered over his face as the shackles of his morality were loosened enough for him to enjoy this immensely from the get-go.

"Oh~ come on Lori, you're hogging Lincy~!" Said Leni as she watched her sister take Lincoln's member to the base of his shaft.

"Hey!", Lori cried out as Leni bumped against her and took her prize as it popped from Lori's mouth.

Leni then suckled on his tip, looping her tongue around his glands, to which Lincoln could only grit his teeth and clasp on to his bed sheets. Lori looked to Leni and saw the smug look she was giving her.

"Oh? Going to be like that eh?", Lori said with a grin as she gently placed a kiss on Leni's cheek.

As soon as Leni turned her gaze back towards Lincoln Lori bumped her away, eliciting a yelp from her as Lincoln's cock came free. Before Leni had a chance to protest she then moved gracefully yet swiftly over her prize as she mounted Lincoln, his member pressing against her pink valley, twitching with desire for entry.

"Hey~, why do you get to go first?!", Leni said with a pout, to which Lincoln could only think déjà vu as he was sure something like this happened before.

"Because dear sweet sister." Said Lori as she slid down, allowing Lincoln to pierce into her. "I'm … fuck! … The oldest …. Oh~ god! LINCOLN!"

Leni watched with jealous eyes as she looked at Lori ride Lincoln like there was no tomorrow. Her eyes nearly rolled to the back of her head as she felt her lover ram the entrance of her womb repeatedly, the sounds of skin slapping together slowly turning into rhythmic splats as her juices lubricated their conjoined loins.

"L-Leni~.", Lincoln gasped out as he tried to hold back the urge to cum.

Leni looked towards Lincoln and saw him licking his lips making her cock her head in confusion.

"I-I could really use s-something to drink.", He said with a wink.

A mischievous grin formed on Leni's face as she figured out what he meant. Slowly she crawled her way past Lori, who was still lost to the world in her own state of nirvana, and up to Lincoln, inches away from his face.

"How thirsty are you Lincy~?" Asked Leni.

"V-very~", He replied.

After a giggle and a quick peck on his lips, Leni shifted herself over Lincoln facing towards Lori, her sex merely an inch away.

"Drink up Lincy~." Moaned Leni.

Not hesitating one bit, Lincoln grabbed Leni's hips and pulled her down, violently eating away at her delicate flower, savoring her flavor as her slick juices seeped out. His cascading tongue caused her to gasp out and squeeze the sides of his head with her thighs, pleading to herself for this sensation to never stop. She then looked to Lori and licked her lips, wanting more pleasure and knowing where to get it.

Leni stretched her hands out towards Lori's own and grabbed them, intertwining her fingers between her sisters. Slowly she pulled Lori towards herself, not wanting to break the rhythm she had with Lincoln's member, and embraced her in a kiss. The heated trio stayed connected with one another till Lori and Leni broke the union of their lips.

"Oh~ god, I'm literally so close!", shouted Lori.

"Oh me too~! Lincy just won't stop devouring me~!" Leni added. "Lincy, how are you holding u-u-uuuup?!"

Lincoln could only give a grunt as Leni was the first to break into a spiraling orgasm, sending a cascade of her loving juices into his waiting eager tongue. The swirl of Leni's aroma and taste coupled with Lori's gripping vaginal walls was too great, making Lincoln the second to climax, his seed bursting out like a geyser into the depths of his eldest sister.

With the new added sensation of her warm brother's love swelling inside her, Lori didn't last much longer than her two siblings. Wanting more of his oozing cream inside of her though she continued to ride Lincoln, pumping him for everything he had, as her own pleasure peaked and forced her to let out a wail of satisfaction.

When her screaming died down Leni gently gave Lori a push back to which she easily ended up sprawling against the mattress, not having the physical stamina to resist anything as Lincoln's still erect manhood popped from its damp enclosure. With her eyes set on her pulsing desire Leni leaned forward and gently lapped at the sibling juice blend, mesmerized by its length and small leaks of cum still protruding from his tip. When she was nearly done she took him into her mouth and suckled what little cum remained hiding within his urethra.

With one last lick before releasing him Leni turned to Lincoln and blew a kiss.

While he smiled from her affection Leni then moved to gently rest her head in the crane of his neck. "I love you Lincy~."

"I love you too Leni." Said Lincoln as he placed a gentle kiss against her forehead.

"And me Lincoln?", Lori asked, as she regained her composure and slowly ran her tongue up his stomach towards his chest.

Lincoln gazed upon her seductive and loving eyes and smirked. "Heh, of course I love you too Lori."

Lori continued to trace her tongue all the way up to Lincoln's chest and stopped as she playfully twirled it around his right nipple before going in for a light nibble.

"That tickles Lori! Haha!", Lincoln cried, trying his best not to sporadically move for concern of moving Leni from her comfortable position.

Lori bit down harder.

"Ow. Ok that's uh, starting to hurt a lot actually."

She clamped down furiously.

"OW! WHAT THE HE-"


Loud House, Living Room Wednesday Morning: Lincoln

"Lincoln"

*snore*

"Lincoln …"

*snore*

"Lin- … Ah to heck with it!"

Lola immediately grabbed Lincoln's right nipple and twisted it furiously clock-wise then counter.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL?! … LOLA?!", Lincoln cried out while holding his right breast for fear of his nipple hanging by a thread.

"Four days left Lincoln!" Lola said without concern before she stormed off towards the dining room. "Also Lori's making breakfast and I am not waking you up if you sleep again!"

After checking himself to see if he was still in one piece, Lincoln fell back against the couch and sighed as he rested his eyes for several more minutes.

"Well, least I finished in this dream.", He thought to himself as he chuckled.

He then recalled Lola mentioning Lori making breakfast and a blush accompanied by a smile appeared upon his face, thinking he was the reason why. He eagerly rose up from the couch only to be met with a slight chill in his nether regions. He sighed and placed his hands over his crotch, sure enough he creamed himself again, dang it.

Lincoln looked around himself making sure no one was watching as he carefully made his way up the steps. Nearly reaching the top he stopped and froze, seeing the rest of his sisters approaching down the steps. Panic ran through him as he couldn't figure out a way out of his situation, though his sisters passed by strangely enough without looking at him.

"Lincoln!", Lily cried out as she reached for him from Luan's arms.

When they were out of view he let out a sigh of relief and began to continue his trek up when he noticed Lisa was still standing there, an eyebrow arched up and a look of judgement on her face.

"Um, h-hey Lisa. What's wrong?", Lincoln stammered.

She remained silent as she pulled out a notepad and scribbled something, shortly after putting it away and continuing her descent down the steps. Confused as always by Lisa's weird quirks Lincoln shrugged and counted his blessings for seemingly dodging a bullet as he made his way to his room. Once in he noticed his open window and closed it as the last remnant of a pungent aroma whisked against his nose.

"That smell again?", He thought as he took a couple of sniffs to confirm if it was gone or not.

Whatever it was seemed to have finally gone away as he sort of wished it stayed. It smelled weird but strangely enough he loved it. Re-focusing himself he gathered his clothes and headed to the bathroom to prepare for another possibly weird day.


Lisa and Lily's Room Wednesday Morning: Luan

"Good morning Lily~." Said Luan as she picked up her infant sister. "Ready for your sink bath?"

"Lincoln!", Lily happily cried out as she squished Luan's cheeks and giggled.

"Aw geez, Lori and Luan weren't kidding the other day, you do got Lincoln on the brain."

"Lincoln!"

"Hm … don't tell me you're in love with him too … because this is just getting ridiculous.", Luan teasingly said as she exited the room and moved down the hallway.

As she approached the bathroom Lisa came out pinching her nose, not wanting to smell the dirty musk coming from Lori's room Luan thought as she went in. She moved to the sink faucet and carefully adjusted the temperature for Lily before she put her in. As she lathered and scrubbed Lily carefully she slowly started to lose herself in thought.

It was bad enough with four sisters including herself, who vied for Lincoln's affection but now with Lori and Leni in the mix and possibly Ronnie Ann still in play she felt a little intimidated. There was no guarantee he would say yes to any of her and her sisters, exception being Ronnie Ann, but if he did what would be the chances of it being her. Luan sighed heavily a bit heartbroken at the thought of her brother not feeling the same way towards her as she felt for him.

"Lincoln!", Lily cried.

A small smirk appeared on Luan as she decided to play along with Lily's focused mind.

"Who's the cutest boy around?" Asked Luan.

"Lincoln!"

"Who's always there for his sisters?"

"Lincoln!"

"Who … who loves Luan with all his heart?"

"Lincoln!"

"Aw, you know just what to say don't you Lily?" Said Luan as she took Lily out and dried her off.

After putting a new diaper on Lily, the duo set out back into the hallway and made their way towards the stairway, promptly being joined by their other sisters.

"Are you kidding me?!", Lisa cried out, getting the attention of the sibling group.

They watched as she closed Lincoln's door, pinching her nose and giving a heavy sigh.

"Honestly, I don't even want to know why Lincoln's room smells like Lori's." Lisa said as she approached the group. "Where is he anyway?"

"Uh … on the c-couch.", Luan responded taken aback by the new bestowed information.

"Then who was in his room?"

Luan's face blushed as she autonomously opened her mouth. "Len-"

"I'M TOTES HUNGRY! LET'S GO EAT!", Leni blurted out with a flushed face.

The others awkwardly nodded and moved down the stairs while Lisa gave another sigh, not caring anymore. Not even four steps down they all, save for Lisa, nervously looked away from Lincoln who stood gawking at them. They awkwardly passed him as Luan nearly fumbled over with Lily trying to reach out towards Lincoln.


Loud house, Kitchen Wednesday Morning: Lori

"Done!", Lori gleefully thought as she finished scooping the last of Lincoln's breakfast on a plate along with her sisters.

She looked out to the dining room and saw that almost everyone was sitting down and waiting for their meals. Not wanting to disappoint, she grabbed two plates and headed towards them.

"Hope you guys are hungry~!", She said with a smile.

She served Lana and Lola first seeing as how they sat and waited the longest.

"Whoa-ho-ho~! Eggs and bacon?!", Lana joyfully cried as she slammed her face onto her plate and began to devour her breakfast.

"With pancakes, hash browns, and sausage links?!", Lola added as she squealed with delight.

Seeing this the others began to salivate as Lori retreated into the kitchen to get their plates.

"Morning kids! *sniff* Whoa! What is that heavenly aroma?!" Said Lynn Sr. as he and Rita entered the dining room.

"Lori made breakfast!" Answered Leni.

"LORI MADE BREAKFAST?!", Both parents shockingly said in unison.

On cue Lori appeared with two more plates and placed them in front of Lynn and Luan before noticing her parents. "Mom, dad! Good morning!"

"Uh … Good morning Lori", They replied in unison again.

"I made you guys to-go plates for work. Just wait right here, I'll be right back."

After a few seconds Lori came back with two wrapped plates and two thermoses and handed one of each to her parents.

"Huh, guess Lincoln helping give you space helped out more than I thought." Said Lynn Sr.

"Oh, he is just the best brother ever~!", Lori jubilantly stated.

"Aw, well I'm glad you're feeling better sweetie, but just make sure you eat something yourself, you did miss out on dinner last night after all.", Rita added.

"I will mom don't worry. Have a good day at work you two."

With a received kiss to each of their cheeks from Lori, Rita and Lynn Sr. happily moved back to the foyer and exited the house with warm breakfast in tow. With her parents served Lori retreated back into the kitchen once more to retrieve her patiently waiting sisters' plates. While Leni gleefully swayed side to side in her chair she saw Lincoln approaching the table.

"Oh! Lincoln! Come sit here!", Leni shouted, pulling out the chair next to her.

With a smile and no hesitation Lincoln moved towards Leni and took the open seat as Lori came back in. Seeing Lincoln, Lori's smile deepened as she gave Lily her small plate and gave Luna hers.

"I'll be right with you guys.", Lori said as she gestured towards Leni and Lincoln.

"Take your time.", Lincoln replied.

Leni began to fiddle with Lincoln's turkey tail as they both waited, eliciting a blush from him, to which some sisters took notice. Lori then promptly returned and served both Lisa and Lucy, kissing the top of Lincoln's head as she passed him, deepening the looks of worry of the sibling spectators.

"Shouldn't we say something?", Lynn whispered to Luan while Lori went into the kitchen.

"Just wait till after breakfast. We'll talk back in me and Luna's room.", Luan answered.

"Oh c'mon. They're basically eye fucking him."

"After breakfast Lynn."

"Pfft … fine.", Lynn muttered as she angrily stabbed a piece of bacon and ate it.

"Ok now, last but not least.", Lori stated as she carefully came in with three final plates.

As she served Leni, Lana noticed something and voiced some protest.

"Heyyy how come Leni gets more?, Lana asked with a pout.

"Oh~ just a way of me saying sorry for poorly treating her last night.", Lori replied as she served Lincoln his plate.

"What the heck?!" Lola shouted. "How come Lincoln's plate looks like it has at least five times as much food as mine?!"

"Because." Lori stated as she set her plate next to Lincoln and took a seat. "He's a growing man and needs more to grow big and strong."

Lori then leaned in close and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek making him flush red. Not wanting to miss out Leni leaned in likewise and did the same. After a moment of silence both elder sisters parted their lips from his cheeks and focused on their meals, whilst a select few looked at the blushing trio with eyes of envy.

Shaking his head and regaining some form of his composure, Lincoln began to eat his king-sized meal. His mind slightly strayed though as he took side glances at both Leni and Lori, slowly recalling last night's wondrous event.


August 8, 2017 Lori and Leni's Room Tuesday Night: Lincoln

After deeply kissing Leni, Lincoln now stood in front of Lori's room, nervously steeling himself as his gut told him to push forward. He held a hand to his chest and felt his rapidly beating heart and took a deep breath.

"For Lori and Leni.", He thought to himself, slightly easing his hearts tempo.

He then moved his hand apart slowly from himself and knocked.

"Come in." Said Lori.

Lincoln turned the doorknob and headed inside motioning towards turning on the light, but stopping near the point of flicking the switch as he thought the darkness would be more comfortable to speak in. He then faced forward and saw her, Lori, sitting at the foot of her bed and gazing out the window with what little light the shifting moon provided, blissfully unaware of his loving gaze. If it weren't for the fact he had a duty to uphold for her, he wouldn't mind just gazing at her all night when she looked so serene and peaceful.

Lori turned her face towards the door, unable to make out the approaching shadowy figure.

"I'm so glad you decided to come talk Len- …"

Lori froze and her eyes widened as she saw it was Lincoln.

"L-Lincoln?!" She muttered. "W-what are you doing here?!"

He didn't answer and instead took a seat next to her, causing her to lean a bit away from sheer nervousness.

"I came to talk to you Lori."

Lori felt her heart beating faster, unable to look him in the eye much less gaze in his general direction. "A-about what?"

"Well … first off I kind of gave a summary of what you told me back to Leni."

She turned slightly towards him, holding a confused look on her face. "What do you mean I told you?"

"You know … on the couch …"

Lori felt a wave of restlessness hit her as she tried not to panic and hope he didn't mean what she thought. "But … y-you were in your room …"

"I uh … I sort of let Leni stay in my room … so … I slept on the couch instead … or well tried to now that I think about it. … Uh, Lori are you ok?"

Lincoln looked towards Lori who simply gazed forward, her eyes wide open and her pupils dilated. In her mind, she recalled herself pouring out her heart and soul to who was actually Lincoln on the couch. Feeling emotionally exposed and embarrassed she covered her face with her eyes and fell back on her side facing away from Lincoln.

"Oh my god …" Lori mumbled. "How much worse can this day get … god I'm so stupid … I should've checked who it was first …"

"Lori …"

Lincoln turned and reached out to place his hand on her shoulder but she cringed and moved slightly away, thinking his visit was one of pity towards her.

"Just go Lincoln … I … I'm fine really …" Said Lori, her voice cracking slightly and tears flowing from her eyes.

"Lori please … let's talk. Just look at me."

She simply swung her head side to side as she curled up.

"Lori … I'm not going away until we talk."

She remained silent to his statement.

"*sigh* Going to be like that huh? Ok."

Lincoln moved forward towards Lori's side and pulled her onto her back, causing her to tighten her hands across her face.

"Lori … look at me."

Silence still emanated from her, aside from the few sniffles and strained breaths she took. Growing impatient Lincoln dug his fingers in-between her hands and fought with her over revealing her face. She held her own for a bit, but her emotional exhaustion got the better of her and her arms became pinned above her head.

"Lori …"

A slight pain twanged in Lincoln's heart as he looked over Lori. Though her face was finally exposed and her body pinned, she held her eyes clamped shut and faced away from him. A light stream of tears could be seen falling alongside her cheeks as they reflected the soft light of the night that made it into the room.

His body moved on its own once more, his motivation to alleviate the shadow of despair upon her mind, placing a loving kiss to her cheek. The tender sensation seemed to be what she needed, as slowly her eyes opened and her gaze shifted, locking eyes with her brother. Lincoln was taken aback by the controversy of her eyes. They were so beautiful yet so painful to see, glistening with light from her tears, a sense of vulnerability emanating from them, a desire to not be hurt any further.

"What is there to say Lincoln?", Lori said through bated breath.

"Lori … did you really mean everything you said to me on the couch?"

With a sense of defeat she sighed. "Yes … every word …"

A light smile appeared on Lincoln's face as he inched closer to Lori. "Even the part where you said you loved me?"

She felt so weak as her object of unobtainable desire seemed to be toying with her heart, his face so tantalizingly close that his warm breath gave her goosebumps. "Yes … even that part."

Lori's eyes widened as Lincoln pressed his lips against hers and slowly pulled back and moved his arms off of her, leaving her mind confused and her face a reflection of it.

"Me and Leni aren't together."

She blinked several times as she processed what she just heard. "W-what?"

"Me and Leni aren't together … to be honest what you saw was … actually the first time we kissed."

She remained silent as her tears stopped flowing and her eyes stayed locked onto his.

"Heh, yeah. Big surprise huh? To be honest the whole day has seemed so crazy. I mean for one thing I-" Lincoln paused as he felt Lori's hands cup his face.

She gazed at him focusing on only one phrase that gave her a feeling of hope as she held his face in her hands, he and Leni weren't together yet, she had a chance. As her heart threatened to burst out of her chest she nervously moved her face closer until her lips connected with his.

"Please … don't let this be a dream.", She thought as she felt him press into their kiss as well.

As time passed she became drunk on him, the tranquil dance their tongues preformed, his intoxicating taste, and the feeling of his skin as she traced her fingers across the back of his neck all pushing this embrace to new heights. Too soon they parted though, she thought, as their lips separated.

"Lori."

"Y-yes Lincoln?"

"I love you."

She couldn't contain the smile that appeared before her face as new tears of joy slowly dripped from her face. "I-I love you too Lincoln."

Lincoln grabbed Lori's arm and pulled her back up into a sitting position as he too sat back down.

"Lori can I be honest with you?"

"Of course Lincoln."

"I love you, I truly do love you. … At the same time though my heart also beats for Leni. I know it's wrong … aside from the obvious wrong things already in this situation, but you both have been a part of my life for so long and I honestly can't even begin to imagine how to be with one of you just by picking out of the blue."

Lincoln took Lori's hand into his own sending a spark throughout her as he twirled his thumb across her palm, taking a deep breath as he continued.

"I want to get to know you two on a whole new level before I even think of choosing. I know it's … selfish, but if you can bear with me … I promise to treat you with the proper respect you both deserve as any guy should give to a woman. Is … that alright with you?"

A few moments of silence passed before Lori kissed his cheek and nipped at his ear. "Yes, it's alright with me and knowing Leni I'm sure it will be ok with her too. I will talk with her in the morning though either way. After all I still want to … apologize to her myself in person."

"Heh, well I don't know about you, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders." Said Lincoln.

"Haha same here Lincoln … You have no idea."

"What time is it anyway?"

Lincoln turned and peered at Leni's alarm. "Two thirty-four?! Oh man, I should get going before I pass out here on the floor."

"Or you could stay here and sleep with me tonight. I could use some more ... cuddling for comfort." Said Lori as she leaned on Lincoln's shoulder, gently blowing into his ear.

A resounding gulp was his first reaction as Lincoln slowly felt his body tense and heartrate rise. "I uh, I think I should … sleep on the couch … as a punishment."

"Punishment?"

"Yeah, for not being careful with Leni. It may have been a simple kiss, but it hurt you … and I sort of can't forgive myself for that."

"Lincoln …"

He stood up from the bed and faced Lori. "Also, I have to punish you too now that I think about it."

"Huh?"

Lincoln cupped Lori's face and gently stroked her cheeks as he gazed into her eyes, showing a somewhat serious demeanor causing her to blush.

"You aren't a monster Lori … and I won't even mention the other word you described yourself with. You may not show it like Leni, but in your own way I know you are just as caring and loving as she is. Just be you and be happy with being how you are. Ok?"

"O-ok."

"Also promise me something …"

"What is it?"

"Never degrade yourself in front of me or anyone else ever again … not even with yourself if you're alone with your thoughts."

"I-I promise … I promise Lincoln."

"Good." Said Lincoln as he laid the final kiss of the night upon Lori's lips. "Goodnight Lori."

"Goodnight … Lincy~.", Lori replied with a love-struck gaze.

With both hearts fears and worries quelled Lincoln quietly exited the room. After a few seconds Lori fell back onto her bed with a giddy grin on her face as she didn't expect things to turn out this way by a longshot. Alone with her thought she noticed a slight tinge from her loins.

"Shame we couldn't cuddle … I wonder how far I could've taken it with him … can't blame a girl for trying.", She thought.

She looked towards Leni's bed and grinned, thinking it wasn't so often she had the room to herself. With the image of Lincoln kissing her burned into her mind, she slowly slid her hand downward. As she lost herself to the pleasures of self-satisfaction she hoped he would one day give her this feeling as well.

Did not expect to honestly break the 6k word barrier, you can all thank Flagg1991 for that I guess since I added Lincoln's dream sequence, wanting to give him something ha. Anyway sorry for the delay but like I said before in the reviews I will go at my own pace. That being said college has really run me down (Curse you math! Bane of my existence!) but I'm hanging in there. In fact after reading Flag1991, AberrantScript and Archemios' wonderful stories has given me a new boost in determination. Seriously if you haven't looked at their stuff yet what are you waiting for?! Speaking of authors I'd like to give a shout out to Devumaru, glad your back in the scene man I eagerly await your review though take your time and enjoy stress free writing. Also happy I could help spot that minor mistake in your latest chapter on your story, which everyone should take a look at cause it is a very interesting one, trust me. Then last but certainly not least a shout out to TotCall720 I also await your review and hope you take the pm review I sent you to heart. Can't get enough of your story either. Alright time to get working on the next chapter.
