I own nothing. The loud house is owned by Nickelodeon. This is a simple fan project and nothing more. Thank you for the reading of my work. This is a sequel to my story "alone with love" and I hope it satisfy as many fans of that story as possible. Enjoy!
Anytime a party would be going on for a monumental achievement, you'd get toasting glasses and lots of laughing, this was more bittersweet than anything else.
"To Lincoln." A dozen and a half glasses clinked
It was only 4 months after Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's "special" weekend together and they were already getting basically what they didn't know they wished for, being alone together. Seeing how they both had art based careers, both had received full scholarships at the pascal pupil art academy. The only problem was that it was in California. Yes, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were moving away. While the agreed to do this together(both paying for a small house as they had their college paid off and extra scholarships their families made them sign up for meant they had a fat stack I cash to last them a few months) it was still a pretty big blow for both of them to leave their huge families like this. It wasn't even that recent that the huge events with Matt and Mark that forced Ronnie Anne's entire family to move back to her whole home, and now she was leaving again. At least she knew this was gonna be smoother than the last two, no wacky antics or near death experiences, hopefully. Both families threw one big party for the lucky couple, but it wasn't very fun. It was clear that just about everybody there was more glum and trying to be happy than genuine joy. Both the louds and Santiago's were happy for them, but it was just painful to se them leave so soon, and to somewhere so far away.
"So, I was telling my boss about my cooking skills…" Mr. Loud said
Both sets of parents we're talking while both families were doing what they normally do, but trying (and failing) to look as though the guests of honored hadn't just died. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were on the chair away form Everyone else (in a sense) and felt just as awkward as everyone else was feeling sad.
"I didn't know they cared THIS much." Ronnie Anne whispered to Lincoln
"That makes two of us." Lincoln whispered back
"I know they would bummed but THIS." Ronnie Anne said
"This is like a mellow drama." Lincoln replied
"I'm going outside." Ronnie Anne said
"Good call." Lincoln said as he followed her
The two walked out to the back yard and sat under the dark sky. It was a new moon so there was hardly anything to see. It looked as lively as their "celebration". Lincoln pulled up two chairs and the two lounged back to view the night sky.
"Hmmm, So, this is really happening?" Ronnie Anne asked
"Yah, it really is, it's just gonna be us from tomorrow on." Lincoln replied
"To think, this wouldn't even be happening if I didn't find you so cute." Ronnie Anne joked
"Yah, I still remember the pranks." Lincoln retorted
"I said I was sorry Alright, I was 11 for crying out loud, I had hormones and stuff." Ronnie Anne said
"Yah, but you had a mom you could talk to." Lincoln said
"For what, 5 minutes before she either passed out in her bed or was called back for work." Ronnie Anne snapped
"Well Hey , I thought we proved a lot could happen in 5 minutes." Lincoln said smirking
Ronnie Anne blushed as she knew what he was referring to. It was earlier this year when they had a weekend completely to themselves, and Lincoln learned of her rather risqué sleeping habit which of course led to their weekend of love and fun.
"Hehe, Yah you got me there." Ronnie Anne said sheepishly
The two then blushed a bit and leaned closer together. After checking to make sure no one was looking, the two wrapped around and were deep in lip lock. The two were half leaning off the side of their chairs just so they could get closer together. Both had their stomachs rather in comfortably on the arm of the chair. Using more primal instinct than rational thinking, Lincoln lowered his left hand down Ronalda's shorts and started rubbing her butt. Ronnie Anne started blushing and moaned with each handful of cheek he kept grabbing. And as if a switch went off in her head, she parted lips and rested back in her seat again, getting a disappointed look for Lincoln as he was forced to take his hand back out.
"Why'd you stop, I thought you…" Lincoln started to ask
"We can't do it here, not with our families watching, they'd never let us hear the end of it." Ronnie Anne said
"Yah, fair point." Lincoln said half disappointed
"So, have you got your starting classes yet?" Ronnie Anne asked
"No, not yet. Not until we get to campus on Monday." Lincoln answered as be sat back into his chair
"All I know is I have cooking 120 and a mandatory English 101 class for now." Ronnie Anne said as she slid down her chair to where she was resting her head on the seat, her ears stuffed inside her new hoodie
The two sat for a little longer before deciding to go back inside. To their non existent surprise, everyone was still as glum as though they were both killed in some tragic/ironic accident
"I can't take this." Ronnie Anne whispered
"It's been 10 seconds though!" Lincoln said as she walked upstairs
"That's too much time putting up with this guilt trip." She said from the top stair
"Wait up." Lincoln said as he followed her up
Lincoln saw his bedroom light and walked in to see Ronnie Anne laying on his bed. Since they were moving, his room looked almost deserted. He could see the faded spots on the wall where his posters and secret plans were kept, his shelves and drawers all empty, and only his bare mattress and desktop showed signs that this was someone's bedroom at one point. Seeing how it was either this or their "party", Lincoln sat down next to Ronalda on the mattress, scooting over a bit to give him room.
"Huh, not much of a better view in here." Lincoln joked
"Hmmm, Yah, unless your lacking a soul, so basically my 8th grade history teacher." Ronnie Anne replied
The two had a brief laugh before everything went quiet. The two looked at each other with a look of bitter sweet enjoyment.
"So, are you gonna be okay, this is the first time you won't have to lay out a plan just to have the bathroom to yourself." Ronnie Anne said
"To be honest, I think I might miss it, it was part of the fun of living in a huge family. All these years I wanted to have what other kids took for granted. Peace and quiet, privacy, free time, a place to call your own and just your own, but now…" Lincoln said before feeling his eyes ache alittle
"Yah, I know what you mean. It wasn't exactly easy starting out, heck even the bathroom was an issue but after a while, it was nice getting to be in a big family, even with the flood and that year of hard times, at least we had mark to help but now…" Ronnie Anne said
"Now it's just you and me." Lincoln replied
The two tried to keep a straight face but couldn't help getting a little misty eyed. The two then gave a look before Lincoln finally said something.
"Well, at least we've got each other, neither of us have to be alone in all this." Lincoln said
"Yah, your right lame-o." Ronnie Anne joked
Neither could recall exactly what happened after that, but the next thing they knew they were deep in making out. It was the kind of thing that happens after an emotional smack like that. Both were feeling down each others back and taking small pauses just to breath. The two then shot their eyes open as Luna opened the door. They were too late to react and just peered as Luna saw them kissing.
"Way to make it to first base bro, I'll just leave you be." Luna said as she closed the door behind her
Both were blushing as hard as when they ran back home naked. They decided it was best to go back downstairs as that awkward tension would be less thick than the awkward tension they were feeling now.
They both walked back down and saw the party lightened up a bit. Everyone was giving somewhat of a smile at them and they brought out a big cake to commemorate the occasion.
To Lincoln and Ronalda
Making the world a more beautiful place
Both blushed at the writing and each took a slice. They saw everyone was giving them the "were sad and happy for you look" but nobody was talking. It was never like either family to want to squander their dreams, but everyone knew it was only natural for them to feel this harsh blend of emotions. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne sat back in their original chair. As they both took a bite from their slices, they looked around and felt the feeling of pure compassion from everyone. They wanted them to achieve what they wanted and to help them however they could.
"To our son Lincoln" Rita said
"And our daughter Ronalda." Mr. Santiago said
Everyone gave a cheers with their drinks (Lucy and younger had soda while Lynn and older had alcohol) and drank. While they felt flustered, Lincoln whispered something in Ronalda's ear that reassured both of them.
"We're gonna make this work, I promise."
