Week 4 Friday
Lincoln woke in a daze and feeling drained.
He was happy to not have to deal with the burn.
Happy at the prospect of spending time with his family.
But there was a lingering thought in the back of his head and it wasn't in his usual mental voice.
"I'll see you tomorrow!" Repeated in his head. Not like an echo, more like an insistant reminder on a new phone that you haven't quite got the hang of using yet.
He made everyone's favorite for breakfast and watched as they ate and talked. His responses were short and to the point. He gave them all the usual brotherly affection and spent quality time with them.
Lynn seemed to be getting just a bit more. They did their morning run. Sparred and wrestled. He watched three sports programs with her, taking up the evening.
The twins followed him to his room that night but he turned them around, walked them to their room and tucked them in.
Week 4 Saturday
Lincoln's morning was a repeat of the previous day.
But now with bags under his eyes and bigger lack of energy.
He stood under the shower feeling oddly used.
Being up early again he made breakfast.
He ate alone and went for a run.
The white haired teen found himself outside Eddie's house.
It was already eight in the morning and there was usually someone up. The only one he saw was Eddie's fat step-dad. He was drinking a beer and watching soccer. The teen didn't bother to knock, he wouldn't get an answer from the bastard inside.
He turned and headed for the park but stopped when he glimpsed Jackson swapping a small bag of white powder for a crumpled green item. 'Dealer.' Sprang up in his mind and he made his departure as he didn't want to put up with the delinquent.
A quick stop at Flips for flippies for everyone and he was home.
His sisters were livid at not being able to contact him and they even got Shinji to come back from work to help look for him. He apologized and promised he would make sure to have his phone at all times.
The rest of the day was spent playing with the twins and Lily. Even through dinner they stayed next to him.
He noticed that Leni and Lucy were keeping a constant eye on him. It gave him mixed feelings but he acted like he didn't notice.
Week 4 Sunday
The last thing he remembered was collapsing into the frontroom floor after playing horsey with Lily.
He drug himself out of bed and stumbled to the shower making a note that it was still dark outside.
The cold water woke him up a bit more. He pissed right into the spray as he leaned against the wall and let it finish doing its job of soaking him and waking him up.
Brief glimpses of a body flitted through his mind. He wasn't sure how he felt about it but knew it wasn't any of his sisters. Again, he felt used.
He didn't make breakfast. He left a note for the girls and some of the money he had leftover from the trip to the amusement park.
Once again going on an aimless run.
He found himself out at the West side of the city.
The big smoking hole that was the basement of the house that blew up, surrounded by police tape.
He saw bits and pieces of lab equipment in the wreckage. He had help clean up enough of Lisa's failed experiments to know what much of them were.
Later he located a hose by the barn and laid it out by the test tubes and beakers that he had collected over the past hour after his arrival.
Inspecting them quickly and washing them with a strip torn from his shirt wrapped around a stick to really get in there. He got caught up in the task.
There was a snap behind him and a familiar voice accompanied the beam of light that came over him. Though the sun was rising they still needed some help seeing.
"Hey Reggie, I mean, Officer Green." He set the beaker aside and turned to look at her.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked holstering her side arm.
"Treasure hunting I guess." He motioned to the items in the grass. "These look real old school and I thought Lisa would like them."
"Get... get out of that puddle and... I shouldn't be doing this, but, put those in the car and let's get you home. Okay."
He nodded and loaded the items into a burlap sack before hopping in the cruiser.
As they rolled along he had Reggie stop.
She was surprised when he returned with a few dozen boxes of doughnuts and coffee for them both.
"How'd you afford that?" She asked. "I mean, thank you!"
"Harumi gave me some cash last week."
"That had to be Hikari!" She smacked the wheel and beeped the horn, surprising some old man as he walked past them. "Sorry!" She aplogized.
"The chase?" He asked and Reggie nodded while sipping her coffee.
"My older sister, she's a street racing enforcer in New York, at least, that's her day job." Lincoln looked at her as she started to drive. "She races as much as they do. They call her Cruiser!" Reggie laughed. "She has arrested at least five of her best friends, some of them twice!"
Lincoln joined in on laughing at the absuredity of it all.
Before long he was home and his sisters swarmed the car, all of them a little angry and worried.
They were actually happy to see that it was Reggie who had brought him home as well as relieved that their brother wasn't in any trouble and safe.
After a few offers of joining them Reggie managed to get away and return to duty.
They again scolded Lincoln, but he showed them that he had his phone. Of course he hadn't checked to see if it was on and aplogized for that.
He spent the day with Lisa mostly. She showed him how to properly clean lab equipment if he didn't know what chemicals were in them.
She even found trace to analize. They sat around as her computer ran the tests. After a few beakers she looked over. "You foraged these from a methanphetamine laboratory." It wasn't a statement but an announced fact.
"I didn't know what it was. I went to that place that blew up earlier this week."
"Honey still thinks that Dearest had some involvement with that!" Lisa said amused.
"Honey?"
"The monicker used by Mika." She stated as she cleared her test samples from the equipment. "I find that I feel a bit more like a member of the group by using the nick-names they have for one another." She looked up at him. "Snowball." She said with an amused grin.
"Nerdette!" He returned and she frowned. "Shinji calls... you... I'm sorry!"
"Well then, if it's from her, I guess I can see that as a compliment. She does admit to 'nerding out' from time to time."
Lisa helped make dinner. She wanted to make some sort of flavored foam. "Alas we do not have the necessary equipment to perform this task!" She said with some disappointment.
Instead she settled on going over what she and Mika had discussed about cooking being a form of chemistry. All the chemicals that gave food it's flavor and how they had to mix to do this properly. Then she covered all of the processes it took to make a loaf of bread.
He was a bit glad that he didn't have Lucy and Leni watching him all day, as they went to work at the restraunt and mall respectively.
The duo had just set the table. It was timed perfectly with the arrival of the family.
Lisa had not helped with dinner since the time they had tried to take over for their father. She never actually practiced cooking with Mika either. So seeing her with a chef hat and dusted with flour the other Louds were scepticle. Until Lincoln managed to convince them that everything was fine.
That night he lie awake in bed with a full belly. Every time his eyes closed they snapped back open. He had some anxiety about falling asleep.
Week 5 Monday
Lincoln took stock of himself in the mirror.
He looked like he had pulled an all nighter.
He found that he had a crack in his lip. "I must have bit myself." He told the imaginary audience. "Sleep... sleep used to be one of my favorite things. Now... I am not so sure."
He dabbed the dried blood from his lip and applied some lip balm, recalling how it was used to stop Lola's bleeding lip when she had that fight at that one pageant.
It worked.
Satisfied he dressed and spent some time with his sisters. He took notice of Lucy eyeing him and blew her a kiss. She smiled and returned the gesture.
For some reason he felt a hundred times better. Maybe those looks weren't judgemental but concern.
As the family split off to do their tasks for the day he noticed Lucy was going to be home alone.
"Hey, Luce, want to hang with the guys and me today?"
The simple question made the goth beam, at least he noticed the way she brightened up.
She was ready in minutes. Outfitted in jeans and a longsleeve Jack Skellington shirt, rather than her usual dress, and she was sporting classic, black Converse shoes. He even noticed that she had her skateboard.
Johnathon Loud's diary in hand they arrived at Clyde's. A brief bruch with the McBrides and the three set off to collect Zach.
On the way Lucy rolled along just behind them. Lincoln and Clyde both looking back in concern as she read while riding her board.
She would smile as she glanced up from time to time, but it didn't seem directed at them as she would be looking up at trees, the clouds or over at the flowers or old houses.
Neither had seen her like this before and it seemed that her joy was contagious. It soon overtook them and they walked quietly with that joy surrounding them.
Zack fell into the group as they passed his house. He had been out in the yard waiting and just walked on out. By now Lucy was ahead of them. "Who's the cute skater?" He asked.
"Lucy." Both Lincoln and Clyde answered.
Zack was quite surprised and tried to aplogize for calling her cute.
"Zack, she's cute. We all know that." Lincoln shoved his friend into a shrub and they stopped to wait for him to extract himself.
"I still feel a little wierd for checking her out. She's like a sister to me." He said hushed.
Out at the farm Lucy took advantage of a large slab of concrete. The boys sat around sneaking hits of weed while they watched Lucy perform flatland tricks.
"Is it just me, or is Lucy kinda jiggly up top?" Liam froze in surprise at his words. "Sorry, Lincoln!"
Lincoln just nodded. "She's growing up." He said as if it was just normal brotherly love. "Can't help but notice it either, my brothers."
"So how long has she been shredding?" Clyde changed the subject.
"I really don't know." He admitted sadly. "I guess I should pay more attention to my sisters."
Lucy fell and all four boys were up and heading over. She got up, grabbed her board and found the four of them fussing over her.
"I'm okay." She blushed. "Why do you guys smell like Luna's van?" She smirked as they all started to think up something while stuttering. "Can I have some?"
"Well..." Lincoln stood there. After all he had done with Lucy. How he started smoking it just before his twelfth birthday party. "... okay."
Lincoln and Lucy had stayed out later than they had expected. Luckily Luna sent Sam and Daisy to give them a ride home, or they were supposed to.
They swung by Sam's house to shower and wash their clothes as Lucy was a bit worried about what their sisters would think.
Luna picked them up a little later.
She waited until they closed the van door. "So have you taken care of your munchies?" She passed back some Visine to the surprised goth. Her eyes caught Lincoln's in the mirror. "You once left something in the laundry, bro. Told Lori it was mine."
After a trip to McDonald's and a few minutes parked outside the house, Lucy felt better. She still worried about what her sisters thought.
"Next time you take me along!" Luna told them.
"Next time give us a ride." Lincoln spoke up in retort.
Lucy answered by giving Luna a kiss. Lincoln noticed that it was indeed a toe curler. They were a bit flushed when they had parted.
"You trying to get Lincoln in the mood?" Luna asked huskily. Lisa smirked. "I think it worked." Luna winked and nudged them out. "I have a concert tonight, don't wait up."
"Already had dinner." Lincoln informed before even being asked. He and Lucy gave out hugs and went to his room.
Only Lily was in the dark at this stage but she smiled along with her older siblings and Yuki.
The door was barely closed, Lincoln and Lucy were already half undressed when she looked over to the dresser.
"When did you get a TV?" Lucy asked.
Lincoln looked over. "Today?"
He got up and pulled the bow off the edge and found a makeshift card underneath the remote. Blue ink spellng out SORRY in standard block letters. He opened the folded paper to see the same block letters and blue ink. "Thought you might like to have an entertaining nightlight ~ Honey"
"Who's calling you honey?" Lucy seemed a bit jealous as she read the message.
"No, um, Mika. Lisa told me that her sisters call her Honey." He folded the card and sat on the bed. Lucy joined him, but he made sure that she sat in his lap.
"I haven't been sleeping well. I think she knows." He admitted. He didn't catch Lucy's frown. "I don't want to think about that." He kissed her shoulder and hugged her. "Where were we?" He asked.
"You were taking my pants off." She slid his hand down. "We were just going to pet tonight, right?" She asked. He nodded. "Good, because, I don't want any interruptions when we..." She slipped off his lap and Lincoln pulled her unbottoned jeans off.
"No panties?" She nodded. "You wanted more." Again she nodded. "What if we did?"
"As long as you love me." She opened her legs.
He moved over her and kissed her. He was surprised to find that he wasn't in a rush, nor was there a trace of lust, and even the teasing aspect was missing. He simply wanted to love her.
She hugged him to her as he ran his hands over her. Their lips connected until he broke the kiss to explore her fully. His eyes, Lips and hands took her in.
He found what made her breath catch as he licked under her breast.
Learned what elicited the cutest sound he had ever heard her make as his tongue was accidentally run into the pit of her arm.
It also got him a playful smack as he did it to her other side.
He had to admit, her sweat was as delicious as her cum.
He massaged her body as he nibbled at her side. She seemed to enjoy that so he covered her chest and stomach with little love bites, the same gentle nibbles he had started with. No need to leave a mark, just enough to please her.
He reached her naval and she made that sound again. He smirked and waited for her to bat at him again but her hands tangled in his hair and he felt her push him down. He didn't resist. He did pause to stare at her pubic hair. She had styled it into a bat. She seemed to know what he was going to ask. "Lori." She panted shyly.
"All of our sisters are styled, and you wanted to be too." Her blush deepened and she hid her face. "I'm not teasing you." He nuzzled her little bat. "I like it. It's cute." She groaned. "Cute can be sexy!" He moved up her body and coaxed her into looking at him. "You're drawing attention. I've spent quite a lot of today trying to block you from the view of people on the street."
"Are you jealous?" She seemed surprised. "Over me?"
He nodded. "I almost slugged that kid from your Morticians club when he put his hand on your arm."
"You should have." She placed her hand on the top of his head and nudged. "Happy thoughts, Lincoln." She smiled and he got the idea. They kissed briefly before he started nibbling his way back down her body. Stopping to pluck at her nipples with his teeth and making her groan in delight. He got another cute sound as he stopped at her naval again and also got a light tug down on his hair.
He kissed and nuzzled her bat and then paused to admire her open flower.
He took pride in knowing that he made her aroused enough to be open and overflowing in need for him. He kissed her and felt her lift her hips into his advancing tongue.
Once again she filled his mouth, and as soon as she did she eagerly pulled him up and kissed him deeply. He was reminded of every romantic kiss he had seen in movies and on TV. He tried his best to play his part. He felt Lucy stroke him a few times and it was slightly uncomforable as he was bent to meet her sex with his. The crown of his member popped in right away with how close they were. She fliched but held him in place by bringing her legs around him.
She let go of his shoulders and looked between him as she gazed happily upon their connection. She rolled her hips up and he got the hint. He slowly started to move in and out of her. Going a little deeper each time. He had felt her barrier before but was amazed that it gave away so easily and without blood. She did groan with some slight discomfort but told him not to stop.
He admired her face. She glowed. Her hair fell away from her eyes and he watched as they fluttered open and closed, glazed over with joy and love, pure happiness. She smiled. He could see her perfectly white teeth as she bit lightly at her lips and her pink tongue occasionally wet them. She had always been beautiful in his eyes, and he now shared this one special moment with her.
He noticed that they had been making love for nearly an hour. He was hard, she was soft. Both burned, he had the idea that it was the energy of their souls bonding. Her eyes locked with his.
"I..." Lucy took a moment to take a deep breath. "I love you!"
"I love you!" He felt himself reaching his peak. "Lucy."
She nodded and locked her arms and legs around him, pullng herself up off the bed. Supported by his strength and pressed against him, she took his love. He kissed her sweetly as he filled her, and after a few short eternities, he eased her to rest on the bed.
She loosened her grip but still held him gently in place. Her breathing slowed and he kissed her cheek. He was afraid of crushing her under him so he held himself up just enough to keep from doing so. When her legs and arms released him he rolled to her side. She, still asleep, urgently sought him out. He took her in his arms and cuddled her.
Week 5 Tuesday
The night through he didn't sleep as he watched her slumber peacefully, but he felt like he could run a marathon.
Lucy parted from him early in the morning, it was her day to work. She insisted on showering alone, not wanting to make Lori wait, but he did get to watch as she washed. She didn't put on any little show, but it still fascinated him. He admired her beauty, there was no erection but that didn't matter. She seemed to notice him as well, and while he showered she wartched while she dressed herself.
She wore one of his polo shirts and a pair of Lynn's black gym shorts that had been mixed into his clothes by mistake. She made it work.
She pinned her hair back she gave him a hug and sweet kiss before she went to finnish prepairing for her day.
She looked back at him before she was fully out of the room. "Be gentle with Lynn."
