The girl silenced the albino with a kiss.
Forty-five minutes later, Lincoln left the room, exhausted and covered in sweat.
Lily, who was in the hall, headed to her room with a new video game in her hands, ready to relax.
The girl, seeing her brother in that state, was curious. "Wow, what did you do to be like this?"
Lincoln wiped the sweat off his face. "I've been training to stay in shape. I need a shower."
"Yes. You stink, and there's another smell I can't identify."
Lily continued to her room, leaving Lincoln embarrassed and unaware of Lynn's actions.
In the bathroom, Lincoln relaxed as cold water ran through his body, washing away tensions.
He emerged wearing orange sweatpants and a slightly tight black t-shirt.
That day was Friday. The Louds parents were out, leaving Lincoln in charge due to Lori's condition and other siblings' engagements.
Lincoln, in an apron, prepared food and felt a hug from Lucy. "What's going on, baby?"
"You didn't come to my room like I asked."
"Mom and Dad will be back late. We can spend the whole night together."
"Do you promise me?"
"Have I ever failed?"
"I'll take your word for it." Lucy kissed Lincoln, saying, "I love you."
"That night, the Loud siblings ate pizza and watched a horror movie marathon. Lori stayed in her room.
After the movies, the sisters discussed. "I liked both of them better," Lana said.
"The bus thing and the basketball players were great. Although all three disappointed me a little," Lola added.
"That's right. The three were after one and before two? I didn't like that much," Lisa responded.
Lily seemed shaken after the movies. As Lucy headed to her room, Lily grabbed her sweater. "Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"What?"
"I'm afraid the creep is coming for me."
Lincoln, heading to one of the guest rooms, chuckled at the situation and said, "Haha. You remind me of myself when I was younger."
This piqued Lily's curiosity: "Have you been afraid of a movie? But you're not afraid of anything."
"Once, I was a complete coward. More specifically, when I was eleven years old. At that time, I insisted on watching a movie called The Collector. My mother forbade me from watching it. But I went for it."
"That night, I couldn't sleep."
"Please Lucy. Let me sleep with you."
"But I was going to." Lucy saw Lily giving her puppy eyes. Then she saw Lincoln. The boy shrugged.
Lucy sighed. "Okay. You can stay with me."
"Yes. Thank you, Lucy." Lily hugged her sister and entered her room. "Yes. A sleepover with my sister."
"Did someone say sleepover?" Lola and Lana found themselves in front of Lucy's room door, with their sheets and pillows on.
Lucy sighed. "Come in."
The twins entered the Gothic room with Lily.
It was already midnight. Lincoln was sleeping peacefully when a voice woke him up.
"Lisa? Is that you? I already told you; if you need more blood for your research, just ask me. You don't have to wait until I'm asleep." The boy heard the door close with a key, followed by the sound of cloth falling to the floor.
"Lucy?" asked the boy. The mysterious person got under his sheets, and she was much taller than Lucy. It gave him the scent of floral perfume.
"Leni?"
The blonde girl hugged the albino. He noticed she wasn't wearing anything. She was completely naked.
"Leni what?"
Before he finished asking her, she kissed Lincoln on the lips. The boy's heart exploded when he felt the touch of Leni's warm, soft lips. So he hugged her, reciprocating the kiss.
Leni was caressing Lincoln's chest, while the boy was caressing and playing with her soft hair.
Finally, the lack of air forced them to separate.
Leni was caressing Lincoln's cheek, which was red with excitement.
"Leni. I love you."
Leni hugged Lincoln and placed his face between her breasts. "Lincoln. Let's fuck."
Steam came out of his ears upon hearing his sister's request.
"Huh? Seriously, Leni?"
"I want you to make me yours. I want the nightmares to end."
"What nightmares?"
Leni sighed. It's time to tell Lincoln the truth.
"Ever since that night on the bridge, when you saved me from those men, I was so afraid that I started having nightmares."
"Horrific nightmares of people doing dirty things to me."
"I could only sleep when I had something that smelled like you close to me. You took care of me in my dreams."
Lincoln separated from Leni a little, so he could speak. "But... why didn't you say anything in the first place?"
"I don't know. I thought I didn't want you to worry. Besides, I already had a lot to think about with Robert's bullying and worrying about nightmares."
"And after the encounter you had with him in the park, I couldn't see you risking yourself for me anymore. I'm the eldest. I'm supposed to protect you."
"And when I was in a coma, I lived through nightmare after nightmare. But they always stopped when you visited me."
"I can hear you. I can feel you."
Leni takes Lincoln's hand and places it on her chest. The boy could feel her heartbeat.
"Do you feel it, Linky? Do you feel how my heart beats? It beats like this. This is for you. Because I love you."
Lincoln takes Leni's hand, places it on his chest, and mimics, "I love you too, Leni."
"Lincoln... Make me yours. Take my body."
Lincoln changes his stance and comes over to Leni. The boy started kissing her neck and cheeks while massaging one of her breasts.
Leni could only enjoy that loving touch. Many boys throughout adolescence had reached what is commonly known as the "second rule" with her. But no one like Lincoln.
It was generally sudden and quick. They cared more about satisfying their hormone-dictated desires than whether they both had a good time.
Unlike them was Lincoln.
The boy was gentle and kind. His kisses were gentle and lingering. As if he would take his time so they could both enjoy the moment.
