The Loud House // It's Too Much || Clincoln

     "Clyde, have you made any progress socially since I last saw you?"

I tapped my finger lightly on my left leg, avoiding Dr. Lopez's gaze. I had an answer, just not the one she was looking for. I stared at the black and white clock hanging on her office wall. The face read 3:35, which meant I was only five minutes in, and fifty-five minutes from going home and texting Lincoln.

"I guess," I said, watching the second hand tick by slowly. I wondered if Lincoln is waiting to text me, too.

"Well, that's great news, Clyde. Care to share?" I didn't want to.

I bit my lip, watching the second hand pass the big number 3. The tapping on my leg became irregular in patten. My eyes darted to Dr. Lopez's sharp green eyes, and then away again. I opened my mouth to speak, but closed it a second later. Is Lincoln's favorite number still three?

"Clyde, you don't have to share if you don't want to. Even if you lied I'm not judging you." Her eyes on me felt like burning coals. My skin felt dirty and itchy.

She doesn't believe me.

She thinks I'm a liar.

Incapable of progress.

Another dead-end patient.

"Actually," I said harshly, meeting her gaze, "I recently started talking to Lincoln Loud again." My eyes prodded hers, to show her I'm not like she wants to believe. I'm not a type. I'm not a statistic. Instead of the sharp, professional gaze I was used to - and expecting - her eyes softened.

"Oh Clyde, sweetie," my eye twitched and my tapping stopped, "Are you sure that's what you really want? I'm not sure you're ready yet. You haven't shown the progress yet to prove you capable."

She talked to me like I was a child.

"I think that I would know if I am capable or not," I snapped back at her. I felt the familiar ache in the back of my head. The familiar ache that my parents sent me to Dr. Lopez to get rid of. The ache that made lines blur and reality slip into static. "I think I'm making progress."

"Clyde, as a friend, and as your therapist, I would not advise you to talk to Lincoln again until your..." she coughed awkwardly and avoided my gaze, "disorder, is taken care of."

It felt as though strings inched their way from my brain to my limbs. Moving me like a puppet.

"Lincoln is the only friend I need, Dr. Lopez," I said, standing up and towering over her sitting frame. Her sympathetic gaze turned stone cold. She grabbed for my arm but I yanked it back harshly.

"Clyde. Our session is not over. I will not hesitate to call your parents, again, I might add. If you say one more word to that boy I will have to-"

I never heard what she said after that. Because I already closed the door behind me.

Flashback chapter.

Wait Clyde you can't say that. He might think ur gay or sumthin. We can't have that now can we.

Man those two are goals amirite kids. One nonchalantly calls it a date and another almost tells his crush he wants to suck his dick. Relatable content.

I don't know where this book is going at this point. I'll probably end it in about five or ten chapters if I still care.

I hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving (if you celebrate), or just had a good extended weekend off of school. I got a Nintendo Switch on Thursday so that's pretty neato. I'm very tired right now and very boring so don't expect much.

Hey guys you should suggest me some fan fictions to read bc I'm bored 100% of the time. It can be Loud House or not, and I've already read like the only other Clincoln book so don't even tRY. Here's a list of all my ships that I'll regret putting here later and probably yeet it out of the chapter

Egobang, Ryatt, Rubberdoop, Creek, Style, Bunny, Joshler, 2Doc, Simarkus, Jyatt, Reddie, Byler, Stonathan, Zagene, KevEdd, Harringrove, Standrew, Shyan, Billdip, Bubbline,
