Not So Loud...

Hey Loud House Fans, I hope you enjoy what I have in store for you all. This story is an idea I had a while ago with just one simple question: What if Lincoln wasn't the only boy amongst the siblings? Well I wanted to answer that question in a way I knew how, so without further ado. Enjoy!

The Introduction

"Kids, time to get ready for school!" called the familiar voice of one Rita Loud, who was soon greeted by the sound of nine pairs of feet touching the floor. "Boys!" she added sternly, causing two more pairs of feet to touch the floor.

With a content sigh escaping her lips, the Loud Matriarch spun on her heel and made her way to the kitchen where her husband was in the middle of preparing the usual breakfast of eggs, sausage and bacon. Looking over his shoulder, he gave his wife a typical bright smile that one usually associates with Lynn Loud Sr.

"Hey honey, could you-" He started but stopped upon seeing Rita already starting to set the table "-thanks."

"You're welcome" she replied in kind, placing down the last empty plate, years of doing the action had made the parents practically Olympic-level athletes in the task. Soon the couple heard the rush of feet as well as the cooing of a baby as they say their kids entering the dining room, all of them still clad in their pajamas, much to the annoyance of Rita who knew that they were gonna now scramble to get themselves completely ready to leave.

Various mumbles and groans of 'Good morning' could be heard from the eleven kids capable of speech and one very energized 'Goo!' from the twelfth one. Taking there seats, the kids started to chow down on breakfast once it was in front of them, conversation starting almost immediately .

"Ugh, I'm literally not looking forward to this math test today..."

"Fret not, Eldest Sister, based upon the results of the last mock test I gave you, you have a 76.4% chance of passing."

"Hey look on the bright side, at least you'll see the answers coming from a mile away! Haha! Get it?"

Groans could be heard from around the table, save for Lynn Sr, who chuckled at the small pun. Afterwards, various other small conversations could be heard around the table from everyone about pretty much everything.

All except one.

Rita noticed this and easily looked over at her oldest son, Luke, who looked as though he was trying not to fall back asleep at the table. She knew why almost instantly after seeing his slightly bloodshot, green eyes.

"You were up late playing that game again, weren't you?" she stated more than asked, catching the teens attention and causing his eyes to snap wide open as he looked towards his mom.

Shakily, the brown haired boy said "...what gives you that idea, Ma...?" Rita began to glare at the boy "Luke..." she began.

"I'm just a little tired, Ma, I swear"

"Luke." she added a slight edge to her voice, making the boy start to sweat a little as he tried to avert his eyes from his mother's piercing blue gaze. Rita growing a bit frustrated by his behavior.

"Luther Marie Loud,you answer this instant." The mother stated sternly, daring not to raise her voice knowing it would upset her baby. The usage of his full name is what caught not only his attention but also everyone else's as they all stopped their conversations to see the almost routine conversation unfold before them.

The teen finally chose to meet his mother's gaze before taking a deep breath and saying "Yes..."

"For how long?"

"Uh..."

"Luther."

"Till about thirty minutes before you called us down..."

Upon the admission, Rita sent a stern glare to her son, one that he knew all too well. "We'll discuss your punishment when you get home" she said evenly, making her son nod his head understandingly. Turning to everyone else, Rita released her glare before telling the rest of the kids to get ready.

After a mad dash of eleven kids using the bathroom, getting dressed and grabbing their backpacks, they were off in their usual routine. Upon the five teens of the kids being dropped off at school, they all began breaking off to go talk to their friends (and in Lori's case, boyfriend) with Luke trailing behind his twin sister, Luna.

While from an outsider's' perspective, when you see the two standing next to each other, you can tell their siblings in someway however, much like Lola and Lana, they couldn't be anymore different. Luna being more carefree, happy-go-lucky, extroverted, and musically inclined while Luke was very much a more reserved, quiet, introverted, gameaholic.

After a couple of minutes of walking in the school, they found themselves in front of Luna's locker, the Rocker Twin swiftly opening it and fishing around for something but before Luke could question her, he had an energy drink shoved into his chest roughly. "Hey! What the hell, Lunes?"

"Oh calm down, you big baby, you could use this right now" the girl said, glancing at him before starting to grab stuff that she'd need for the first couple of classes. Luke looked at the drink, giving it a once over before looking at his sister in confusion.

"You drink Blue Sharks?" he asked, making Luna roll her own green eyes at the question with a smirk.

"Nah dude, I keep 'em in here for you."

"Oh...thanks."

"No problem, Luv" she said, laying on her British accent.

With that said, the boy cracked open the drink and practically inhaled it, the effects taking hold almost immediately. Luke's pupils dilated for a few moments before his demeanor shifted from one of exhaustion to indifference with him tucking his free hand into his grey sweats. "Thanks, Sis" he said, his voice even changing to a simple monotone.

"Oh it was no big deal" she started before pinching his cheek, "Anything for me li'l brother" she finished, slipping into the accent again. Luke quickly slapped her hand away with his cheeks starting to turn pink, he always hated when she did the whole 'Older twin' thing. Luna took no offense to the slap, she easily laughed it off before shutting her locker and giving her brother a quick, side hug and wishing him a good day.

With Luke now being left alone in the hallway, he started to make his way to class but was soon pulled into an empty classroom by a pair of hands. Before the boy could even make a sound, a soft pair of lips met his own and immediately he knew who it was.

"Carol, what the shit?!" he whispered harshly at the blonde, who merely giggled at the reaction. She always loved scaring him like that. "Sorry sweetie," she started before giggling again, Luke glaring at his girlfriend and Lori's 'Mortal Enemy', Carol Pingrey, who had now recovered from her giggle fit before finishing her statement "I just wanted to make sure we're still on for Friday."

"Did you have to scare me to do it?"

"Nope, but I didn't want to pass up the chance."

Luke growled at her which, after the first two months of their secret relationship, had lost its effect on her. "Yeah we're still on...I hope" he said, rubbing the back of his neck, this caught her attention.

"You hope? Did something happen?" Carol asked but her question was answered when she looked at Luke's face and quickly her expression changed from confusion to slight annoyance as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Up all night again?" she asked to which he nodded.

"Another Fate 2 raid?" another nod, to which Carol groaned but the warning bell rang before she could say anything. "Well we'll figure something out," she began making her way to the door, intentionally sashaying as much as possible before looking back at the slightly drooling Luke "Text me later, okay babe?" she finished with a wink before leaving the classroom entirely.

"...I hate it when she does that..." Luke muttered, feeling his face heat up before quickly leaving the room and making his way to class, not noticing an angry pair of blue eyes following his movements.

"You're gonna have so much explaining to do when we get home" Lori growled out at she glared at the back of her little brothers head.

And with that we'll wrap up the first chapter, hope you all liked it, I know I liked writing it. It feels good to have finally settled on one of the versions of Luke that I had planned out. As we move forward though, things will get more interesting and fun for The Louds and I hope you all will enjoy the ride. But as always, Stay Tuned Readers.
