Letting him down easy a story by LoudFanWolf.

PART 1

For at least two and a half months, Luan Loud has been dating a great guy by the name of Derek Gabriel. Derek is funny, smart, witty, and full of love. Luan practically has the perfect boyfriend. However, there is actually one problem, during those two and half months Luan has repeatedly forgotten to break off her budding relationship with Benny, Luans former crush who has noticeably been starting to like her back recently, having sent sent her flowers about a week ago. Luan then realized that it was time to tell Benny that she was seeing someone else now, and that she didn't have romantic feelings from r him anymore. But how could she do that? Before Derek, Luan Loud had never dated anyone before, and she and Benny were merely just good friends up until recently, so how could she break the news to Benny that she didn't want to be anymore than just that with him?

To solve this issue, Luanrealized she needed to a professional about this, and who better to ask advice about re,atop ships to than her oldest sister, Lori?

Luan walked into Loris room and asked "Hey, sis, do you gotta second?"

Lori sighed, having to pause her text conversations with Bobby for things annoyed her. "What is it, Luan? Do you want to tell me another one of classic puns." Lori asked, annoyed her comedienne sisters entrance.

"No, this is serious." Luan said in a serious tone of voice.

That got Loris attention. 'Luan being serious? Oh gosh, this must be huge!' Lori thought, before putting her phone down and giving her comedienne sister her full attention.

"So, what you need?" Lori asked. "Advice about boys, friends, relationships?"

"Actually, uh, yeah. All three of those." Luan said awkwardly,

'Oh, now I know th is huge!' Lori thought.

"Well, what is it? Is it Derk? Do you need help figuring out what he might want for Christmas or something?" Lori asked Luan excitedly.

"Actually, no. Um, how do you elk someone that you're no longer interested in them romantically?"

Lori gasped, ran up to Luan and gripped her arms, Loris nose making contact with Luans; Loris shocked eyes centimeters from Luan nervous and scared ones. Lori began shrieking.

"Are you telling me that you want to break up with Derk?! Are you crazy?! Derk is the best guy ever, Luan! You are lucky to have a guy like him! Breaking up with Derek Gabriel will be the worst of your life! He'll be heartbroken, so heartbroken! DO YOU WANT DERK TO TRY AND-"

I don't want to break up with Derk!" Luan shouted, interrupting Loris rant. Luckily, most of the LKs, and Derek, we're hanging out outside, so none of them heard Loris screaming.

"...Oh." Lori said, before letting go of Luans arms, backing away from her, and sitting back down on her bed.

"Sorry, you know that Derek is like my 2nd little brother, so I get protective."

"It's okay." Luan replied, understanding Loris protective nature for her family.

"Anyway, who's this guy you want to break it off with?" Lori asked.

"Well, you know Benny, that guy I used to like? Well, he has just decided to start liking me back. And now, I do t know how to tell him that I no longer like him romantically."

"Oh, well, that's easy Luan; just let him down easy." Lori replied.

"Let him down easy?" Luan asked.

"Yeah, just straight up tellBenny that you don't like him like that anymore, and that you would rather just stay friends with him." Lori explained.

The 14 year old comedienne took in everything her oldest sister told her, thought about it, and then said " oh, okay, I get that. Letting Benny down easy is what I'll do then. Thanks Lori!" Luan said, giving her oldest sister a hug.

"No problem." Lori said as she hugged Luan back.

Luan then broke the hug and left Lori alone so that she could continue her text conversation with Bobby.

Luan then grabbed her phone and began to text Benny.

Hey, Benny, if you have time, could you meet me at the park tomorrow, at around noon?" Luan texted.

Almost immediately, Benny texted back.

"Sure thing, Luan! Anything for you!"

'Oh, this might hurt a little.' Luan thought as she read Benny text.

Luan then replied with "Great! See you then!" Then put down her phone, and went to join her boyfriend and the rest of her family outside.

At Benyhouse, he couldn't ecstatic. As soon he sent his text saying he'd meet Luan at the park, he went "WOOHOO! I've got a date with Luan. We're finally going on our first date!"

PART 2

It the next day, around noon. Luan was sitting j a bench near the entrance to the Ryal Woods park, waiting for Benny. Luan didn't tell Derek about this meeting, because, well, Derek never liked conflict.

Luan didn't have to wait long for Benny to arrive, Luan saw him walking don the street towards her in his usual attire. However, omce Benny had reached her, Luan could tell that Benny had practically bathed himself in AXE body cologne for this occasion. The overwhelming smell made Luan cough.

"Yeah, do you like it? It's my new cologne." Benny bragged. (A/N: Since we don't know that much about Benny canonically, for the sake of this story, I'm gonna make him a bit of a jerk.)  "It sure is distinguishable." Luan replied, scrunching her nose.

"Yeah. Anyway, what do you want to do here, Lulu?" Benny asked.

Luan straight end for a second. 'That's Derek nickname, Benny, not yours!' Luan then relaxed, and replied to Benny's question with "let's just sit here, I've got something that I want to talk with you about."

"Oh, okay." Derek said, sitting down next to Luan uncomfortably close to her.

Luan then backed away from Benny a bit and began to explain herself.

"Look, Benny you're grea guy, you're really funny, and you know how to make someone feel better-"

"Thanks, babe. You too." Benny interrupted.

Luan straightened up again. 'Don't call me babe!' Luan thought.

"Yeah, but here's the thing, you began to like me back too late, I'm already seeing somebody else. I'm sorry, but you're a really cool guy, and I would love it if we stayed friends." Luan explained.

Benny was taken aback. "W-what?! You found someone better than me?! Who?!"

'Why is he so full of himself? That, and did he even hear the last part about me wanting us to remain friends? This is not the Benny I used to know.' Luan thought.

"Well, if you really want to know Benny, he person I'm dating is Derek Gabriel. I've been dating for about two and a half months.

Benny had a look of both of shock, and laughter. D-Derek Gabriel?! That fat, loser, zit faced junior?! What do you like about him, all he is a weakling who can't handle life, thats why he tried to-" Benny's statement was cut off by Luansmacking him hard across the face.

"DONT YOU EVER CALL MY DERKBOY WEAK! AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, HES NOT FAT, HES JUST A LITTLE CHUBBY, AND HE IS NOT A LOSER EITHER! DEREK IS TALENTED, INTELLIGENT, FUNNY, AND FULL OF LOVE! ALL THINGS THAT YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT, AT LEAST NOT ANYMORE!" Luan screeched in Benny's face.

Luan then calmed down and just became very stern, pointing a finger at Benny and saying "I don't know what's happened to you, Benny, but until you change back to the old Benny, I'm afraid we can't be friends! Good day, sir!" Luan walked off back to her house, leaving a dumbfounded Benny behind.

When Luan got back to her house, she found Derek in the living watching Tv on the couch. Luan then grabbed the remote, and turned off the TV, which made Derek go "Hey!"

Luan then walked in front of Derek and waved the remote in his face whil giving a cheeky but warm grin.

Derek gave Luan a warm, loving smile. "Oh, it's just you, Lulu." Derek said.

'Yes, that's your nickname for me, Derk.' Luan thought as sheet on the couch and straddled Derek.

"Have I told you lately that I love you with all my heart?" Luan asked Derek.

"Well, I haven't heard the 'with all my heart' part before, but yeah.' Derek joked, earning a playful smack from Luan.

'But yeah, I love you with all my heart too, Lulu."

The two teenage lovers started lovingly into each other's eyes for a several moments, before they to kiss, and kiss some more.
