A day for brothers by LoudFanWolf

It was 1:00 PM on a Saturday, 16 year old Derek Gabriel was on the front porch of The Loud House, knocking rhythmically on the door preparing to spend a few hours with 13 of the greatest people that he had ever met in his entire life.

After knocking rhythmically on the door, and not really waiting for an ok to come in, Derek flew open the door of the house open, and began to yell in his Sloth from The Goonies voice.

"HEYYYY YOUUUU GU-"

Derek then suddenly stopped, he realized that something felt off. The Loud House was strangely quiet. Whenever he opened the front door to the house before, some kind of noise always greeted him, whether it be Luna's guitar, the blaring sound of the TV in the living room, Lola and Lana arguing etc. Whenever he entered the house, Derek always thought "Yep, this sure is The LOUD House, alright." Derek always felt proud of himself whenever he made that pun. Nevertheless, hearing the Loud House not make any noise was actually quite unsettling for Derek, he began to wonder if something was wrong, if something bad had happened to the family that he knew and loved.

"Hello?" Derek called "Luny? Lansy? Anybody here?"

No one answered. Derek then walked in to the kitchen, searching for the Loud parents, but when he walked in, Derek didn't see Lynn Sr in his usual spot by the stove, and he didn't see Rita doing bills on the kitchen table either.

"Yo, Mama Loud, Papa Loud, where ya at?"

Again, no one answered.

Derek then left the kitchen/dining area, and walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor, then Derek checked a few bedrooms and found no one. Derek then tried to ponder about where the Louds could be, when suddenly he remembered something. When he arrived at The Loud House, Derek didn't see the family van, which they affectionately called "Vanzilla," parked in its usual spot in front the garage, but he just thought that meant that Lynn Sr decided to park the van inside the garage for a change. "Huh, I guess nobody's home," Derek thought, "maybe I'll just come back later, their probably out doing family thing."

So, after realizing that maybe the Louds just weren't home, Derek decided that he should leave and come back a little later. But as he started back down the stairs, he heard a giggle, a boys giggle.

Being a horror movie fan, Derek's first thought was "OH LORD, THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED! I KNEW LUCY WOULD ACCIDENTALLY LET SOME SPIRITS STAY HERE!" But then he heard the laughter again, and realized that the laughter was coming from the room at the right end of the hall. Derek then realized that the laughter wasn't coming some sort of spirit that was haunting the house, but that the laughter was actually coming from Lincoln Loud, the 11 year old only male sibling of the Loud family.

'Hmmm, I guess Lincolns home alone, I wonder why?' Derek thought.

Lincoln Loud was laying in bed, in his linen closet bedroom, wearing his headphones, listening to some SMOOCH on his phone while reading the latest issue of Ace Savvy, enjoying one of the rare periods of relaxation that he would get living in the house filled with 12 other people. Soon, he deciding to turn off the music, and read While enjoying the rarity of silence in a usually Loud House.

In fact, it was so quiet, and Lincoln was so concentrated on his comic book, that he almost didn't his bedroom door opening.

"Hey, Linco-"

"AAHHH!!!!" Lincoln jumped, scared crapless at the sudden sound of somebody intruding into his room. He knew that his sisters had gone away for their annual "sisters day" which of course Lincoln wasn't invited to, not out of spite, of course, but for obvious reasons; That, and he also knew that his parents were out on a date, celebrating something or another. With all them gone, Lincoln wasn't really expecting anybody but himself to be in the house until later that evening when all of his family would return from their activities. After jumping and screaming like a scared little girl, Lincoln immediately got into a combat stance (one that Lynn had taught him) but calmed down once he realized that the supposed intruder was actually the Loud family friend, Derek Gabriel. Lincoln dropped the combat stance and said "geez, Derk, knock next time won't ya?" Lincoln then laughed.

Derek chuckled along with Lincoln and said "Yeah, now I know how Lucy feels." Both of the boys then laughed hysterically.

After that round of great laughter, Derek asked "So, Lincoln log, why are you the only home, mate?"

"Eh. Mom and dad are out on a date, and the sisters are out on their "sisters/ladies day" which, of course, I can't go to. It's nothing personal, of course, it's just something they've been doing since before I was born. They all probably won't be back until 8:00, which is great because that means 7 hours of complete silence, or at least 7 hours of me doing my thing."

"Well, Can your lead vocalist hang out with ya? You know it's boring at my house, this place is always so much better." Derek replied and remarked with a smile.

"But it's just me, that's not fun." Lincoln replied and frowned a little.

"True, but two is better than one, my friend. And hey, if your sisters can have a ladies day, Why don't we have a guys day, just you and me?" Derek suggested.

"Really? You really wanna hang out with me?" Lincoln asked, looking up at the the older boy with a confused, but touched, look.

In the past couple of months that Derek had known the Louds, whenever Derek came over to The Loud House, he usually hung out with everyone, but he didn't really get to hang out with EVERYONE in the house separately in one visit, as he was only allowed about 3-4 hours before his Mother would call him and tell him to come home. Out of all the Louds, Derek hung out with Lincoln the least, of course, it wasn't that Derek hated Lincoln. In fact, Derek thought that Lincoln was a very strong willed young man who had a very strong love for his sisters and his family, and Derek also admired how Lincoln took pride in taking care of his family. But unfortunately, outside of band practice, Derek and Lincoln had only gotten to hang out a few times in the past couple of months that they had known each other, it's a good thing they still knew a few things about each other tho.

"Of course, mate. We barely hang out as it is, and we really should start hanging out more. I think you're really cool dude." Derek said, smiling down at Lincoln.

"You really think so?" Lincoln asked.

"Yeah, mate." Derek put a hand on Lincolns shoulder to show that he meant what he said wholeheartedly.

Lincoln smiled. "Alright, lets have a guys day!"

"Alright then, mate! You wanna go downstairs and play a video game?"

"Do I!?"

Derek and Lincoln both sprinted down the stairs toward excited to not only play a video game, but to have some fun, just the two of them, for 4 whole hours.

To start their guys day right, Lincoln and Derek decided to play a few rounds of Super Smash Bros 64, Derek decided use to his main fighting character, Fox, while Lincoln used Mario. They played 4 rounds, both of them winning 2 of those rounds.

After that, they stopped playing Super Smash Bros 64 and were deciding what to do next on their "Guys Day" when Derek got an idea.

"Hey, I have Netflix on my iPad, you wanna watch a movie, Lincoln log?"

"Sure thing, Derk!"

"Awesome, how about a comedy?" Derek suggested.

"Sure!"

Derek logged into his Netflix, and began searching for comedy movies, until he found the perfect one: The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy. This was a movie that both Derek and his father loved. Lincoln had never heard of The Nutty Professor before, much to Derek's shock. Nevertheless, Derek just told Lincoln to prepare to laugh, because was to laugh A LOT. They both sat down, and watched the movie together, laughing hysterically at the hilarious antics of obese scientist Sherman Klump and his family. As they laughed at the hilarious movie together, Lincoln was starting to feel very close to Derek, as they had never laughed or had this much fun together before, and it felt really good. Plus, he got introduced to a hilarious movie, and it had enough fart jokes in it to the point where he thought Lana would love it as he and Derek did.

After they finished watching The Nutty Professor, Lincoln and Nolan decided that they wanted to watch another movie. This time, the movie was Spider-Man starring Tobey Maguire, a movie that Lincoln and Derek found out they both loved due to its great action and adventure quality. After they got done watching Spider-Man, Derek and Lincoln were deciding what else they should do on their "guys day" when Derek's cell phone started ringing; it was his mother.

"Ugh, not now Mom," Derek groaned.

Lincoln knew that meant, and he sighed. "It's okay, Derk, you can go home now if you really need to."

"No, Linc, I'm gonna try and see if I can stay a little longer. Just wait a second." Derek replied, before picking up his phone.

Derek then answered his phone, and wandered off to another part of the house to have a private conversation with his mother, while Lincoln waited in the living room. Lincoln hoped that Derek could talk some sense into his mom so that he could stay longer, Lincoln was having so much fun, and was feeling so close to Derek that he didn't want him to leave yet. After a few minutes passed by, Derek came back with a smile on his face,

"Good news, Lincoln log, my mom says I can stay til 7:00 PM," Derek explained.

Lincoln smiled brightly at the news. "Great!"

"It's 5:00 PM right now, so we still got a couple hours, what do you want to do?" Derek asked the white haired boy.

"Hmmm, how about we watch some YouTube videos?"

"Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking!"

Lincoln then grabbed his laptop from his room, brought it downstairs, and went to YouTube.com. Derek and Lincoln then spent the next hour and a half watching hilarious YouTube videos. After they had got done laughing at one particular video, Lincoln felt really close to Derek, and really wanted to tell him something.

"Hey, Derk?"

"Yeah, Linky log?"

"Thanks for hanging out with me today."

"No problem Linc," Derek replied "This has been really fun."

"Yeah," Lincoln swallowed a bit before going on "and I think I've come to realize something."

"What's that?" Derek asked, interested in what Lincoln had to say.

"I've come to realize that you're like the big brother that I've always wanted. And I'm just so happy you're here with me, in my house, in my life." Lincoln stated, the white haired boy starting to get tears in his eyes as he looked towards his big brother figure with love.

Derek smiled back, feeling the same way Lincoln did. "I feel the same way Linky log."

The two boys then shared a a big hug that lasted for some time.

"I love you, big brother." Lincoln said, his voice full of happiness, passion, and love.

"I love you too, little brother." Derek said back, his voice full of all the same things.

The two of them then broke the hug and continued to watch YouTube videos for a little while, before Derek noticed that the clock read 6:45 PM.

"Alright, well, Linc, It's time for me to go." Derek said, as both he and Lincoln got off the couch. They both walked yo front door together, shared one more hug and an "I love you brother" before Derek left the Loud House, planning to return sometime tomorrow.

An hour later, Lincoln was on the couch when he heard his family walk through the door.

"Hey, guys! How was your day?"

"Great!" Everyone replied back.

"Hope you weren't too bored without us, Linc." Lynn said with a cheeky chuckle.

"Oh, don't worry," Lincoln said "I had the best time ever."

The End
