And so, the story continues with the first of many more obstacles: The Loud family. More specifically, the sisters.
Now, again, this story won't be that long, after this, there are only four more chapters-I think-before we reach the conclusion I'm satisfied with. I hope.
So, let's not waste time, and see how the girls react!
Hi, Lincoln here. I would recap what happened, but to put it simply, Paige and I are dating again.
However, keeping a secret for too long has never worked out for me, so, with Paige's permission, we decided to tell our families about it.
So I gathered enough courage to tell them...
Very loud screams were heard across the Loud household as the sisters collectively rejoiced over Lincoln's resumed relationship with Paige.
Lincoln? He was sitting on the couch, wondering if he had made a big mistake.
"Paige and Lincoln are a thing again!" Lola chirped.
"There's still hope for Lincaige!" Lucy said.
"Um, I'm still here, you know?" Lincoln pointed out, getting his sister's attention. "And besides, aren't you taking this way overboard?"
"It's the first relationship you've had that hasn't ended in an instant!" Lana said. "Sure, you ended it with the kiss on the cheek, but now that It's back, you can make it work this time!"
"Yeah..." Lincoln lowered his head. "I hope it works..."
The sisters soon
"It's okay to feel worried about your relationship, Lincoln," Lisa said. "After all, same-gender relationships are always troublesome."
Lincoln's heart skipped a dozen beats as he realized what Lisa meant, which was followed by the rest of the sisters looking confused.
"Paige is a boy," Lisa answered. "After the whole cheek kiss incident, I made some research on the matter, and discovered Paige's real gender. Once I did, Lincoln's worry and concern for the relationship made more sense, in an entirely different way."
Lincoln flushef and put his hands on his cheeks, worried for how his sisters would react to those news.
They already went crazy over "Lincaige" being a thing again, how would they react when they knew "Lincaige" was a guy-guy thing?!
"Wow, I'm literally a bigger jerk than I thought I was," Lori said. "I mean, it was already bad I kinda ended the relationship with my hasty thinking, but now that I know the relationship's like that... Dang."
"I, for one, am supportive, if a little worried for you and Paige," Luna said. "After all, I know how it feels like to be in your situation."
"Yeah, this matter isn't a joke," Luan stated. "I'm honestly being serious right now."
Lincoln's redness slightly went down as he started realizing his sisters were a bit more supportive than he thought...
And then Lynn decided to quip:
"I didn't know you played for both teams!"
This earned the jock not only a glare, but also a punch in the face from Lincoln, with the rest of the sisters gasping in shock as Lynn covered her punched cheek.
"Lincoln, why did you, like, do that?!" Leni asked.
"Because Lynn made an insensitive joke!" Luan exclaimed. "Just because everybody can make better jokes than me doesn't mean they can get away with saying sensitive stuff! Especially with someone as nervous as Lincoln!"
"Wow, I literally didn't think Luan would get that angry," Lori remarked. "I figured Luna would be the one to get upset."
Luna narrowed her eyes. "Who says I'm not?"
"Okay, everybody calm down," Lynn said as she rubbed her cheek. "I'm sorry, Lincoln. I shouldn't have made that joke."
Lincoln raised an eyebrow. "You're apologizing without being prompted to do it?"
"This Isn't the first time I've been hit for saying stupid stuff, and It's certainly not the first time I've made the people I care about upset without meaning to," Lynn smiled. "But, you know what? This is a good sign."
Lincoln and the sisters backed away a little.
"What I'm trying to say is, Lincoln's showing that he's willing to fight back the ignorant people who'll bother him about it, if this ever goes live, that is," Lynn explained. "He can do his diplomatic stuff, try to defuse the situation with words, and if that doesn't work, a good right hook should get the message across."
And then, Lori realized something and asked:
"Have you told Clyde about this yet?"
Lincoln felt a shiver go down his spine, realizing his best friend was still in the dark about everything.
"Actually, come to think of it, maybe telling his parents might be a better idea?" Lori added. "After all, they could literally give you some pointers on how to make the relationship work."
"Still, maybe you should think about it first," Lucy said. "You don't want to rush into a problem you won't be able to back down from."
Lincoln thought about the suggestion, and nodded, "Yeah, I'll try telling them about this tomorrow."
With that said, the sisters hugged Lincoln, with the boy returning the hug soon afterwards.
So, my sisters took the news quite well, all things considered.
Now I just need to figure out how to break it to Clyde and/or his parents, so they can help me with this whole situation.
But one thing I've been wondering about the most: How's Paige doing on his side?
