Sitting in her soft beanbag, Luna hummed to herself while strumming the string of her acoustic guitar, playing no certain rhythm in particular. In a peaceful day like today, she would usually just chill out while waiting for what the world has to offer for her next. It wasn't really surprising since in the Loud house, everything was usually going along with the motion. Even in the most peaceful of day something unexpected could happen.
Like Lori would suddenly get mad at them for no reason while hanging out with Lincoln, or an explosion coming from Lisa's room. But that was far in between nowadays with the only brother in the house assisting Lisa with most of her experiment. She liked to think of it as something like a Loud effect, where by adding one or more Loud sibling in a quiet atmosphere would make it significantly louder. And adding more Loud sibling into the equation would cause a Loud reaction, which in a simple term is a catastrophe. Lisa probably had a better way to explain it though.
As for today, that catastrophe probably started when Luan texted her earlier to gather the rest of the sisters except for Lincoln and Lisa into their room for a secret meeting, emphasizing on the secret to make it more official as Luan said to her. Honestly, she don't even know why or what her roommate had in mind to put her in this weird situation. She don't even explain the reason behind this meeting other than that she would tell them all later to be careful. What does she mean by that, she was saying stuff like they were being watched or something.
She wanted to say that all of this was just bogus but Luan wasn't really the kind of person who would be paranoid like this. Well, she would usually be the one who is making them paranoid with her constant and unexpected prank but she liked to think her roommate had at least learnt some lesson from her last shenanigans. Whatever it was, Luan better do it quick. She still have band practice after this.
And she would also liked to ask Lincoln if he wanted to join her again this time.
And why did she need to exclude Lincoln and Lisa from this meeting anyway. If she wanted help with anything, Lincoln would definitely be there, happy to help her if it was something really serious. Even she need to admit how dependable and reliable their brother had been lately, always being around when they needed help with something.
And it was even more fun when it wasn't for something boring like a chore. She can still clearly remember that day when Lincoln joined her and Sam in the garage. Sure he wasn't anywhere close to their skill, but he was decent. He knew how to play the drum at a novice level, already figuring out what sound or rhythm he wanted to get from them. He was just having trouble to keep up with their pace. But if she knew anything about her brother, it was that he is a fast learner. With a few more practices, he can even be good enough to be a part of their band.
And the scene wasn't that bad either...
The way his white t-shirt stuck to his sweaty skin, accentuating the faint lines of his growing muscles barely hiding beneath the soaked fabric.
Luna, don't get me wrong, but do you think you can make him takes his shirt off later, Sam said to her then, which she responded by smacking the back of her head.
Bad Sam! Bad Sam!
Sure Lincoln still spend most of his time with Lisa but it was only to keep her safe. And he can definitely keep any of them safe with that body she was hiding from them. She wouldn't be surprised if there are already a few girls coming after him, heck he might as well be a beast in bed.
Her mouth slightly watered at the thought as a smile plastered on her face.
As she carefully strummed her guitar, she suddenly picked the wrong note when a screeching voice could be heard coming not far from her. Right, she wasn't alone, she almost forget about that.
Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Luna let her guitar down onto her lap and lifted her head. Her eyes instantly widened as a shade of red crossed her cheeks at the piece of clothing Lola was currently pinching between her gloved thumb and index finger as if it was the most disgusting thing she ever held. She might as well throw away the pink glove with how tainted the piece is.
And Luna probably also had the same sentiment for her, only slightly for a different reason. After all it wasn't just a normal piece of clothing, heck she don't even know if she can call it that with how ridiculous the design was.
It was a girl underwear, a green panties with thin string tying each sides into a loose knot with only a small piece of thin fabric supposedly covering the private.
What... Just what the heck is this!?
She don't think it would even be able to cover anything with how small and revealing it was designed to be. Was it even supposed to cover anything to begin with. Seriously, they might as well not wear anything at all. Who would even buy and wear something ridiculous like this. Who would be insane enough to call this monstrosity a panties. It was like a complete violation to human privacy and safety, a hazardous device that can cause chaos around the world in the hand of those stupid enough too think it was a normal piece of clothing.
"My panties!" The cheerful voice answered her question. "Like you don't know how long I've been looking for this silly thing, like Lori said a raccoon snuck into our house and stole it, thanks Lola" Leni said with a bright smile, casually taking the green panties from the still disgusted Lola wiping her gloved hand against her twin.
"Eww, I can still see it." Lola moaned.
"Yeah Lola thanks very much, it's not like someone was trying to hide that thing." Lori narrowed her eyes at the bratty twin as Lola quickly hid behind Luna, peeking her eyes over her shoulder.
"Cut it out Lori." Luna simply said while reaching for her acoustic guitar. She don't mind adding a new guitar into her birthday list this year.
"Whatever." Lori rolled her eyes and returned her gaze to the screen of her smartphone, smirking at the rising number of likes for one of her selfie.
"Ugh, why are we even here, I could be playing catch with Lincoln in the backyard right now." Lynn groaned, throwing her baseball against the wall before easily catching it back in her hands.
"Watch it Lynn, you break anything in here, you pay for it." Luna warned with a hard glare.
"Well, you're one the calling us here Luna, seriously what is all this about, you're wasting my time you know." Lynn argued.
"Okay first of all, it wasn't me, it was Luan, and second, do you really think I want to be stuck in here with you either." Luna simply said with a smirk.
"Why you-" Lynn almost got up when Lori glared at her direction.
"Stop it, both of you." Lori clearly said before turning her attention to Luna. "And where is Luan anyway, if she's the one calling for this stupid meeting, she should be here already."
"I don't know dude, she just told us to wait for her here." Luna shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, she better get here fast, I'm starting to lose my patience already." Lori narrowed her eyes. "And I swear if this is still about that time I need Lincoln with something when it was her day with him, I will literally turn her into a human pretzel." She growled.
It didn't take long as the jokester of the family hurriedly entered the room, closed the door, locking it, and making sure that she actually locked it this time before sighing in relief. When she was done, she turned around to face her sisters already gathered in the room while watching her in confusion.
"You got something stuck in your underwear or something?" Lana crudely said.
"Ha, ha, very funny Lana, but no." She walked to her desk, pulled out a chair and sit on it. "Thank you for coming here in such short notice, if you're wondering, what I'm going to share with you is very, very, and very urgent."
"Just get to it already dude." Luna rolled her eyes while gesturing for her to quicken her pace.
"Right, the reason why I call all of you here is to talk about Lincoln and Lisa." Luan revealed.
"For the love of god, I know this is a waste of time." Lori groaned.
"Not everything is about you Lori." Luan glared at her. "None of this is about us, it is about them, about how weird Lincoln and Lisa have been acting lately."
"And don't tell me none of you notice how close they are to each other." She added.
Silence filled the room as none of them speak. They would be lying if they didn't realize how many times they had seen Lincoln spending his time with Lisa of all people. Not only that, the way they acted to each other was far too different than the Lincoln and Lisa they used to know. Everything about the pair was shrouded in mystery which weirdly enough went passed them as if it was normal. And Lincoln sudden change in behavior wasn't exactly something they could ignore either. From his impressive growth and maturity beyond someone his age, it was like he was a completely different person.
"Now that you're saying that, what kind of experiment did they do anyway, Lincoln was always busy helping Lisa with her experiment right." Lana inquired.
"You know, they never mentioned anything about their experiment now that I'm thinking about it." Lynn pointed out. "They somehow managed to keep it a secret."
"A secret! From ME!" Lola exclaimed as they all looked blankly at her. "I mean from us, of course." She nervously chuckled.
"Like, if they aren't doing anything dangerous why should we bother them." Leni asked, her index finger placed over her chin in thought.
"Leni is right you know, it wasn't like Lincoln didn't hang out with us when we asked him to, he was just taking care of Lisa." Luna agreed.
"That's the problem Luna, we don't know what they are doing, you can't possibly think all of this changes is happening for no reason." Luan pointed out.
"And what are you trying to say Luan?" Lori folded her arms over her chest, her smartphone already slipped into her shorts pocket.
"I think..." She paused, considering her words for a second before releasing a sigh. "I think Lisa might have done something to Lincoln."
"Pfft, seriously Luan, you really think that Lisa manipulated Lincoln in some way to be her eternal servant, that is the weirdest joke you have told yet." Luna chuckled only to slowly quiet down when she looked at the rest of her sisters deep in thought.
"Guys, you can't actually believe this do you?" Luna said in disbelief.
"It wasn't impossible Luan, we all know how Lisa is." Luan remarked. "This doesn't really seem far off from what she would do. And Lincoln can't exactly refused her either, not anymore at least."
"So what, you really think Lisa would actually create a concoction of chemical that will change Lincoln's behavior into some mindless slave while still pertaining his personality." Luna raised her voice.
"I don't know Luna but you might be right, we can't really exclude that from one of the possibility." Luan said.
"Are you kidding me, do you even realized how ridiculous all of this is." Luna asked.
"Stop it Luna, for all we know that might as well not be our Lincoln, that could be a clone, or a robot, or some monstrosity Lisa created in her lab to pretend to be Lincoln and trick us." Luan glared at her roommate. "And while we're wasting our time here, the real Lincoln could be in danger somewhere we don't even know." She seriously asserted as their sisters murmured to each other.
"I know this might just be me being paranoid but I still need proof that Lisa really didn't do anything to Lincoln. I need to know that all of you will also have my back if what I fear is right. I will need as much help as I can get if we're going to face Lisa." Luan lowered her gaze to the floor.
"I know this is a lot to ask for but I really needed to know that Lincoln is safe." She tightly clenched her fists.
"I guess it is up to a vote then." Lori sighed. "If you don't think we should bother Lincoln and Lisa raise your hand." Leni, Luna, and Lucy raised their hands with Lily being in the neutral side.
"If you really think something is going on between them and we need to investigate, raise your hand." Lori, Luan, Lynn, Lola and Lana raised their hands, concluding the vote to three versus five with one neutral.
"It seemed like the group have reached an agreement." Lori said.
"Nothing good will come out of this dude." Luna argued.
"Then you don't need to get involved Luna, but we can't have you interfere with our investigation either, I hope you can keep whatever happened here only in this room." Luan said.
"Do whatever you want dude, I'm done with this nonsense." Luna got up from the beanbag and went to her bed, putting on her earphones and down on her bed.
The catastrophe was starting to look worse, and Lincoln and Lisa were trapped in the middle of this chaos. She just hoped they would be fine when this is over.
"Hey, where is Lucy, wasn't she here just a moment ago?" Lynn asked in confusion.
Meanwhile, in the prodigy's room, Lisa was carefully observing a beaker which she added some mix of chemicals earlier. If she got the formula right, it would be a great addition to help the artificial cells to grow even further.
"So how was it?" Her brother asked while watching the cylinder flask containing the green substance and the lump of pulsating flesh almost shaping into a functioning right hand.
"I'm not sure yet, but if I'm right this will be a great supplement to improve the duration of the time for the cells growth." Lisa noted.
"The bones and the nerves system has completely regenerated, the muscles and skin still need some more time but we can probably signed this project as a success." Lincoln remarked before looking at the small girl beside him.
"Lisa, are you sure about this?" He worriedly asked.
"What do you mean elder brother?" Lisa looked up at him.
"I'm pretty sure if we waited a little bit longer, the cells regeneration would completed on its own, do we really need to risk the result by adding this new supplement." Lincoln patted her messy brown hair.
"Don't get me wrong Lise, I don't doubt your ability, I'm just worried that's all." He sighed.
"Lincoln..." She grabbed the front of his orange polo shirt and pulled him down to his knees until they are finally on the same height. Their eyes met and Lisa leaned her forehead against his, slightly hitting his face with her thick glasses between them.
"Sorry." She embarrassedly apologized.
"It's fine Lise." He replied with a small smile.
"Do you know why this project is really important to me." She asked, easily making him lost in her round brown eyes luring him with her voice.
"Of course Lise, this is your greatest experiment yet. With a simple and small cells and some DNA recognition from a subject, you can restore and replicate any of their body parts and internal organs from their former injury including amputation. This is a revolution Lise, everything about this will change the entire view of people on science and medication. And most of all you will help a lot of people, from wounded war veteran to unfortunate accident, you can help them. You can give them a chance they never thought they will ever get. And then they will finally see you as the greatest mind you are. " Lincoln said with a smile.
"Lincoln..." She whispered, instantly getting his attention as Lincoln looked into her eyes, a fond smile slowly appearing on her face. "This is our first experiment together."
A faint blush crossed his cheeks when he heard her, the implications behind her words and the level of intimacy in her small voice. The bashful and embarrassment that was so unlike her, the girl who was so monotone for most of her life. It was painful to see her being so happy, to know that there was a moment in her life where she could already be like this with a simple assistance from him. For now he can just promised to be that person for her in the coming future.
"Yeah... You're right Lise, and we will do even more experiment together in the future." He whispered seductively into her ear, causing the girl to blush even harder.
"You might change my mind regarding our contract mister Loud." Lisa caressed his face in her soft palms, her delicate fingers tracing his freckled cheeks and jaws.
"It was a contract written by a couple of lovers miss Loud, we can probably just burn it later" Lincoln planted kisses after kisses against her fingers and palms, slightly tickling the giggling girl.
"Oh my goodness, should we really break the contract this once. Aren't you afraid of being a criminal?" Lisa whispered, nudging her nose against his. Her lips inches away from his as Lincoln could feel her warm breath filling his nose, driving him crazy with her fragrant natural scent.
Though he also couldn't help but smelled something else lingering in the air.
As if by instinct, Lincoln quickly turned around with the girl still held close in her embrace.
"Lincoln wha-" She was interrupted when something suddenly exploded behind him as pieces of glasses and liquid shattered onto the floor. Most of them already hitting his back and dissolving his polo shirt.
"Lincoln quick take off your clothes!" Lisa screamed in alarm, struggling to pull the shirt from over his head before throwing it to the side.
"That was close." Lincoln sighed. "I think you got something wrong with that supplement." He ran his right hand through his white hair, still not noticing the quiet girl looking at his back.
"I..." Lisa bit her lips.
"Lisa?" Lincoln quickly turned around when he heard the girl. "W-what's wrong, are you alright? Did it gets on you?"
"I-I'm sorry... L-Lincoln, y-your back." She stuttered with tears welling in her watery eyes.
And just like she said, there was a burnt mark eating into his skin leaving a few spot of darkness on his injury. At least it wasn't bleeding, that's probably why he didn't feel anything at the moment.
"H-hey it's fine Lisa, come on now, please don't cry." He begged, there is nothing in this world than can be more painful to him than seeing her shed a tear.
"I-I did this Lincoln." She cried out. "I did this to you." She gritted her teeth.
Lincoln tightly hold her shoulders and make her look at him. "That's not important Lisa, right now I need you to help me treat the wound, can you please do that for me." He requested. "You know how much pain in the ass it would be if it get infected." He added.
"There is a first aid kit box in the bathroom, but I need to know that you can actually help me." Lincoln seriously said as Lisa eventually nodded at him. They were too caught up in the situation that neither of them notice the faint sound of dripping nearby.
Taking in a deep breath, he carefully picked up Lisa bridal style and carried her out from her room, through the hallway, and into the bathroom before quickly closing and locking the door. Weirdly enough he didn't see any of his sisters in the hallway but he was too busy to notice whatever they're doing at the moment. He then pulled out the first aid kit from the mirror cabinet and handed it to Lisa.
"You know what you need to do right?" He asked with her back facing her.
"Y-yes." She pulled out a small bottle of antiseptic and dabbed some of it onto a cotton gauze.
"I know it's going to hurt Lisa, just do it already." Lincoln encouraged her.
Only for him to instantly hissed through gritted teeth when he felt the searing pain spreading on his back as the cotton touched his darkened skin.
"A-are you alright elder brother." Lisa worriedly asked.
"Y-yeah, just get it over with." He grunted.
Swallowing the lump in her throat, she followed his instructions and began cleaning his wound. It took quite awhile but when she was finished, the gauze was black with his dead skin sticking onto them.
"I-I need a shower." Lincoln said in exhaustion from holding in the pain.
"The antiseptic should already be absorbed by now to prevent the infection." Lisa informed.
"Great..." He could barely stand as Lincoln dragged himself into the bathtub before carefully taking off his blue jeans, leaving him only in his grey boxer. Controlling his breath, he eventually opened the tap and the shower to fill the tub. Thankfully the water was lukewarm much to his relief. As the water went through his back, Lincoln gritted his teeth when he suddenly punched the wall with his right hand to prevent himself from screaming.
It didn't take long before Lisa eventually joined him in the bathtub still completely dressed.
"Hold me." She whispered under her breath, her glasses already forsaken near the sink. "Hold me close Lincoln."
Having her permission, Lincoln wasted no time to place his hands around her neck, slowly rising up her jawline before caressing her soft and supple cheeks. The shower washing away the trail of tears from the corner of her eyes.
He smiled, "you're so beautiful Lisa, I'm so lucky to fall for you." Lincoln traced his right thumb across her wet cheek before stopping at the corner of her lips. He then carefully slipped his thumb into her mouth slightly opening them as he explored her teeth, gum, and cavity as if it was so amusing to him. He watched as her saliva sticking to her palm before slowly running down his wrist.
It's mine...
Smiling, he gently lifted her chin, leaned closer to her face, and closed his eyes before pressing his lips against hers. His tounge hungrily drinking in her taste leaking from her small mouth. She can barely keep up with him as Lincoln unconsciously let his restraint break, taking all of the girl for himself to replace the pain currently spreading throughout his entire body like flame.
He needed more of her...
Lincoln softly slid his hands under her soaked green sweater, her palms caressing each ridge and bump of her smooth skin, memorizing them to ignore the pain piercing into his back like knives.
His hands eventually reached her flat chest and nipples as Lincoln simply fondled them, feeling the warmth of her flesh against his. And there, he could feel her heartbeat, he could feel the rapid and erratic beating of her small heart against her chest.
"L-Lincoln..." And just like that, he finally keep his restraint back in order, chaining it up to keep the monster away.
When he released her, his eyes widened to see the state she was in, the tears in her wet and hazy eyes, her heavy breathing, her messy and wet hair, everything about her was a complete mess.
Did... Did he really do this to her?
"I-I'm sorry." He apologized, gently taking the small girl into his arms and burying his face into her brown hair. "I-I didn't know what got into me." He muttered with genuine guilt in his cracking voice.
"It's fine elder brother." Lisa finally spoke again. "I can't blame you, I really can't." Lisa kissed his neck.
"I know how much you love me, how painful your love is, how strong your love is." Lisa kissed his neck again, this time carefully sucking into his skin before leaving a small hickey.
" And I also know it would be enough to distract you from your injury." Lisa laid on his chest, the tip of her nose touching his.
"It should already be numb by now but we should still apply another cream to be more careful." She advised with a soft smile.
"Whatever you say Lise, whatever you say." Lincoln playfully kissed the tip of her nose.
