Author's Notes: Sorry for the delay dear readers, I entered college so my time for writing is going to be a little more limited, I will still try to update on a weekly basis though!
Oh, and here's a well deserved Trigger Warning in this chapter for... spicy stuff.

Chapter 56: Gift.
Lincoln's P.O.V:
This felt like a miracle, a genuine Christmas miracle.
Here I was, sitting in front of the tree, singing along to Luna's new song, with a Finished Lynnsagna dish laying still warm on my legs, watching as all the people around me, all my sisters, my mom, my dad, and even my pets were singing in harmony, all of them sporting a smile, all of them holding hands with each other.
This was, dare I say, a true Loud Christmas! … Well, almost.
Some things are probably way past the point of being fixed, even after everything that Lori and the others did to save Christmas.
For one, Lynn was still absent, we tried everything, we sent messages to her phone, we tried calling her, all of us, but it was no use, she was pretty much out of the house, out of our lives, by now.
Our family was still pretty much the continuous target of harassment and hatred by a notorious vocal fanbase, all my fault really, but now my family has to pay the price.
Lola and Lana still refused to talk to each other, and even though I could talk to her, I was not feeling comfortable when talking with Lana, she was glaring me from the back, I could feel it.
And well… I'm free, Lola's free, all thanks to Lori really, I owe her my life at this point, I really appreciate what she did for us, I expected to be grounded until graduation at this point, I was expecting for even more "security protocols" to be implemented, but nope, I did check one moment in my room.
The cameras are gone, I feel relief.
But that doesn't change the fact that I feel bad for Lori… she did this for us, because she trusts us, she just wants her family to be back in one piece, I sort of want to concede her that wish.
But I can't, for me and Lola, it's too late, she's not my sister anymore, she is my girlfriend, I can't, I won't go back from that.
Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to, like, just what the hell was Leni thinking with that little "elf" outfit for her? I'm currently trying my hardest here to not stare, but its just torture, she is right to my left, after Luan, because we're arranged in a circle of sorts, I can see her from the front, and I can see everything, a jingle bell necklace with some leaves, a cute elf hat to enhance her innocence and a thin, tight, velvet bodysuit ending on a short green skirt, that, because of the way she was sitting, was giving a direct view of her matching red panties, and…
Ok… if I keep thinking about that, I'm going to get a very awkward erection right here.
- Ok family, we are almost there for midnight, I want the gifts to be shared in order, so who wants to be first? - My dad finally announced the time for gift sharing, of course, counting the fact that I wasn't allowed to come out, I didn't have any to share, still, I was curious about who might have been my secret partner.
- Me! - Lily, of course, offered herself to be first, which meant that her secret partner had to come out with the gift.
- Here Lily, you got a real future as an artist let me tell ya - It was Lana, who gave Lily a full set of …crayons, yeah… the ones that she probably found on the trash near the restaurant.
- Thanks Lana! Here is yours! - Lily proudly presented a picture drawn by herself of her, Lana, and a frog with wings floating in the middle of them.
Uh, Oh… I don't know if referencing Hops was the best choice, Lana is pretty sensitive about it…
- *Sniff* Lily… this is the BEST GIFT EVER, I love you! - Lana then went on to almost crush Lily in a bear hug, yeah, nevermind, Lily hit her right were it hurts, in a good way, sometimes that girl can be incredibly perceptive of people's feelings… like mine…
That drawing, I still have it, I still treasure it, Lily was right, Lola was always my real sidekick.
The gifts continued being given in an orderly fashion, as with Lana and Lily, each sister was arranged in pairs with another one, of course, mom and dad also participated, but they clearly rigged it to give one to each other.
Mom and dad gave each other a rice maker and a chair massager respectively.
Lori and Luna gave each other a microphone and a golf bag.
Leni and Lisa gave each other a… size L jacket and a neuroscience book? (Yeah, they're totally changing their gifts upstairs…)
Luan and Lucy gave each other a… Creepy clown and a cursed puppet, yeah, a surprisingly perfect pair right there.
And then it was just… Lola and me… wait, there's, no, way!
- Well, I think that's it for the gifts kiddos, merry Christmas to everyone! - Dad gave the closing speech, but…
- Wait dad, what about Lola? - I couldn't contain my mouth, I didn't ask for myself, I knew I probably wasn't deserving of anything but cold, hard, coal, but Lola deserved a gift!
- Oh yeah, s-sorry champ, Lola's partner is, not here… b-but don't worry, we'll make it up to you two tomorrow! - So it's safe to assume that Lola's partner was Lynn and that I was excluded from the list… figures.
- Then I guess that makes us the remaining partners, right Linky? - Lola suddenly spoke while looking weirdly at me, making everyone center their attention on the two of us, great, now I had to thread real carefully…
- Well, yeah but, I-I'm sorry Lols, I don't have a gift for you - I replied honestly.
- Meh, don't worry, I didn't really bring a gift either - She said while sassily waving her hand, now I was confused…
- Well, not a material gift at least - She continued - But, in a way, isn't this the best gift of all? - She looked not just at me, but at everyone else while saying that - I mean, before yesterday, this family was in shambles, everyone was quiet, bitter and scared, and Lincoln and I were the center of that mess, this family was getting destroyed in front of my very eyes, and I was thinking that the only solution would be for me and Lincoln to be separated forever, because I thought we wouldn't be able to work as normal siblings anymore… - Lola, what are you saying?
- But now, Lori here managed to easily prove it to us that that's not true! - Her expression was now more optimistic, and I swear I could see Lori's eyes start to tear up - Mom, dad, I'm sorry for the chaos that I caused, but these last six months have been a true eye opener for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this and for allowing us to finally see each other normally - She was saying this while putting her hands on her chest.
- The best Christmas gift that I can give my partner here - Now she was redirecting her eyes at me - Is to finally see him again, as a brother - What…?
- And I hope that you too can finally see me as your sister again, Linky! - And those were the last words that came out of her mouth as she quickly approached me and surrounded my neck in her arms in a tight hug, a sibling hug.
I returned the hug, having her presence in one way still better than not having it at all, as long as I could be near her again, it was all worth it, but my heart can't help to ache a lot for what she seems to be implying.
My thoughts got quickly interrupted by a roaring round of applause and even the excited screams of Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan, then I almost felt like losing my balance as none other than dad kneeled behind us and hugged us both with considerable strength, followed by the predictable waterfall that quickly stained my classic orange shirt.
- Buahhhhh my babies, I-I *sniff* missed you so much! - Were the words that he almost couldn't get out of his irritated throat, oh dad, never change.
I am now laying on my bed, still wondering just what the fuck happened.
Earlier this morning, I was just mourning the requiem of my freedom, I was certain that this punishment was here to stay, and I had zero complaints about that, I knew that I deserved it. Everyone was quiet, my older sisters, despite already being here for like three days now, didn't actually reach out to me that much, I was absolutely certain that I was now perceived as an unwanted inconvenience, as the brother who drove a sister out of the house and didn't even look back.
But now, though certainly a bittersweet moment without Lynn, I can actually say with confidence that we just had one of the best Christmas celebrations ever, everyone was happy, sharing stories, telling jokes, singing to music, eating delicious meals and sharing awesome gifts to each other, almost like a flashback to the old Loud family, the one that everyone missed.
And for the gifts themselves… I actually got one, a second chance, even though I didn't really deserve it, Lori is an incredible sister, even though I lied to her shamelessly, well, we both did.
But wait, did we?
What Lola said has not been able to get out of my head… it's now 1:00AM, I should be asleep already, tired after the adrenaline rush of today… well, technically yesterday, but I can't.
Her gift is to be able to finally be together, as brother and sister, but… no, that can be right, I didn't agree to that!
She's my girlfriend! We haven't broke up yet, I didn't consent to ending the relationship, were her feelings just a fluke? Were Lori's words so good that she convinced her to not love me anymore?
Because they certainly didn't do jack to mine!
I can't, I won't lose her again, I know that our thing can easily put this family in jeopardy again, I know that we came a long way to finally finding stability and happiness again, and that our other sisters are now just recovering from the events that we caused, I know our feelings can be dangerous, unsettling and just wrong.
But I refuse to let her go, I would not be able to go back to just see her as a sister anymore, it's too late for me, I'll think of the logistics later, but I can't deny these feelings anymore, I will make her my girl.
Maybe I should just clarify things, I'll just pick myself up…
*Creak*
Ok, nevermind, maybe later, it seems there is an intruder.
- Hi Linky~ - I know that voice very well, it can come from none other than her.
- Lola? - I say with caution in my voice, I'm not exactly happy at her words down there after all.
- Your one and only~ - She replies confidently, I proceed to turn on the lamp to get a better view of her.
What I see leaves a certain friend of mine in a triggered reaction to become painfully stiff.
Yes, it's Lola, with the same outfit as before, but without the little hat, how come such a little change can turn cute into mind-bogglingly sexy?
My cheeks get suddenly hot, but I first need to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding things, maybe it's about the story.
- Uh, sis, I would like to do the story, but today I'm a little tired, let's do it tomorrow - I confess.
- I'm not here for the story, my prince~ - I hear her say seductively, as she begins approaching my bed, swinging her hips and focusing her bedroom eyes at my own.
I'm struggling here to find an alternate interpretation.
- Oh really? then… h-how can I help you? - My voice cracks a little as the tension rises in the room, I look a moment behind her to see if the door is closed properly, which it is, then look back to see that she was already climbing on my bed, slowly crawling over to my figure behind the sheets, getting her face closer to mine.
- Don't worry handsome, I'm just here to give you your real gift~ - Her voice never loses the sultriness and spiciness behind, by now, my organ is fully standing on it's own, I can't even fight it back.
- What gift? - The question is pretty stupid, but my mind doesn't work right, I can't even think straight anymore, getting lost into her beautiful eyes, I'm nothing but a mere subject at her mercy.
- Do you know what these leaves in my necklace are? - She makes a question that I'm unable to answer.
- N-no? - Monosyllabes… yeah, I'm lost.
- hehe, come on silly, it's mistletoe, you know what that means, right?~ - Even though words by this point should be meaningless, Lola always finds a way to make my skin shiver with the professional delivery of her lines.
But yes, of course I know what mistletoe means.
I make the first move, I grab Lola's small body and pull her closer to my face in a rush of testosterone as our lips connect in frenetic ecstasy, I feel her arms wrapping around my neck as I instinctually deepen the kiss, forcing an opening in her mouth with my tongue so that I could find hers and dance together, a passionate display of our emotions that lasts for what I can only estimate to be a few minutes, but that end up feeling like an hour, as our mouths disconnect to refill our lungs.
I use this brief moment of consciousness to get my fears answered.
- Is everyone asleep? - This is, naturally, my first concern, this situation is pretty risky after all…
- Of course silly, don't worry I checked - She says between pants, she had this calculated, nothing escapes this girl.
- Lola, what was that down there? - Now for the bigger problem.
- What? The things I said? - She replies while regaining her breath.
- Yeah… You said that you were happy to be back as brother and sister - I looked to the side, unable to hide my disappointment.
- And what about it? - She raises an eyebrow.
- Well… it's just, Lola, you're my girlfriend remember? - I had to clarify.
- I mean, yes, that's true too! - She resumes her affectionate touching by placing her palm on my left cheek, then carefully sliding her hand to lift my chin, as if to reassure me that we are still very much a thing.
I remain confused.
- Lincoln, I am your sister, I'll always be your sister, I… well, you know me since birth, and we have always been together, one way or another, our family wanted us to have that bond back, and I'm more than happy to resume that relationship - She continued her speech, once again getting her face closer to mine and making me focus on her eyes.
- But also, I'm your girlfriend, I want to be the girl that you think of everyday, I want to be the girl that you wake up to everyday, I want to be the girl that gets to do things like this with you and only you, and maybe, someday, I want to be the woman that gets to start a family with you, I still want you to be my king after all~ - I carefully analyze her eyes, and could only find truth and love behind, my heart was now at peace.
And she was dang clever about that too, not a single lie was told back then, she just said the part that the family wanted to hear, I could almost call that manipulative, but man…
She's too fucking perfect for me, it really isn't fair.
I couldn't take it anymore, shortly after her explanation, I assaulted her lips with mine with abusive eagerness, any semblance of communication replaced with primal instinct, everything around me, my surroundings, my awareness, it was gone, my fear for getting caught for being too Loud had even been replaced with excitement.
Even the flow of time had been reduced to second plane, I don't even remember when did my sheets disappear, or where were my pants and my shirt, or Lola's costume, it was all irrelevant.
All i can focus on, is the fact that Lola was in top of me, her bare developing breast at plain view, and my rock-hard cock was edging her wet pussy, begging for entrance, which she complied to without much of a struggle, unlike our first time, my dick entered without much resistance, her walls clamping on it as her natural lubricant continued pushing it deeper inside, then, I felt it stop, only for the irresistible feeling to repeat itself over and over again, as my little princess began riding me non-stop.
A small part of me was still telling me to tone it down, and it definitely seemed to speak for Lola as well, as her moans were much quieter than back at the changing room, but the sheer feeling of impending release was only making it harder every time, the bed was no doubt creaking and I just couldn't give a crap.
Our motions sped-up, I could feel my beautiful partner shivering, her own release seemed to be edging closer, her walls were now hugging my member tightly, as the speed of her thrusts just kept increasing, my own hips were also moving to an increasing, frantic level, my muscles were beginning to act on their own, all leading to an earth-shattering clima-
- So much for brother and sister huh? - I could barely regain my senses, but as quickly as I identified the origin of those words, my body stopped moving, my brain suddenly lit up, I experienced a feeling that was potentially even stronger than my horniness.
I experienced fear, extreme fear.
By now, both Lola and I had stopped our activity, our head turning synchronously to the origin of that voice.
It was Lana, and she looked… happy?
- Lynn was right… - She said, never taking her creepy smile, before running away from the room.
And Lola grabbed my sheets and followed right after.
