Wednesday 8:00 AM
A cup of coffee and opening the windows of his room. though the scenery outside their home is filled with Never-ending sand (which is the desert) still the quietness and stillness of his surroundings made him feel steady and calm.
Red son didn't do much anything today, except folding his blanket and keeping his pillows neat, he woke up rather fresh and Fine.
'Huh. what should I do today?'
he thought, just staring up the ceiling while he's laying down on his bed. he has nothing to do today, and also, he's not in the mood to fix a few machines and gadgets. walking outside too is rather making him lazier and he's much willing to stay inside his room to just stare up the ceiling. let's just pray that his mother won't call him out to do something. That's when his mind clicked, the book Emily (the librarian) recommended to him resting on his messy desk, he then Blinked.
Should he?
he's not fond at reading novel books much more about childish Pinocchio and Cinderella stories. but again, the urge to read the book that the girl he's so interested in has made him dumber than ever, he grabbed the book, sitting up crossed legged and grabbing a pillow he hummed.
the cover Is good, Hardcover too which made the aesthetics even more pleasing. "Guess it won't hurt to read it" He mumbled, flipping through the pages he was surprised to see that there's an actual map for the Books world Building, and small illustrations about the Characters 'okay this is something' he thought, the first page of the Prologue Chapter as he quietly read the book.

'hm... that boy didn't leave his room for a whole day.'
Princess Iron fan hummed, frowning as she noticed of how quiet their Living room is. even her husband is wondering as to what the hell is with all of this silence. should there be a Familiar red hair boy which is their son Complaining about his works or scolding some bull clones who didn't get their jobs right?
"This is odd"
"Indeed, that boy should be walking around right now Complaining and Scrutinizing his Minions works"
Her husband, the Demon Bull king agreed. eyes looking around to see if ever he'll see his son pass or just call some bull clones as always but right now, odd as it may seem but this is really the first time the Fortress became so quiet and...Peacefull? yes that may be the word he's looking for, which is strange because their son who's very Explosive and also maybe a bit of a perfectionist; Can be loud and The Bull clones who's been working with him can't say no to his demands whenever he's working.
"Should we go and check on him?" He asked his wife, the two couples sitting by their Living room just having their coffee, princess Iron fan hummed. thinking Deeply, she did remember that her son is *ahem Infatuated to this Mortal Librarian. of course, a mother's Instinct never lies so she just Smirked "no, let's leave him be. who knows maybe he's just in a bad mood and he's just sleeping it" She nodded, and her husband didn't Question any more as he nodded to her "very well then" He spoke and continued on reading his own book.
'What?!'
No, this wasn't the plan—he was supposed to read at least 2 chapters to see how exactly Good this book Emily (the librarian) just recommended to him. but just like books the twist is he is in the middle of the page reading while biting his fingernails. anticipation etched in his face while his eyes roamed through each alphabet written on the book.
"What?! woman! You're not supposed to follow him can't you see he's suspicious?!" He cursed the female lead like it's a free holiday Chicken cooked in worse way possible, glaring to the book but still has the decency to not rip the Hardcover in half or burn it "God this main character be Itching my insides" He Grumbled, flipping to the next page 'well at least the male lead has some sense and humor' he thought and continued on reading. it's been hours, inside his room and weirdly if he's tired in one position he would either lay down the bed, the floor, sit on the desk, or squat while holding the book.
He sighs, now sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. he closed the book he just finished reading in One Day. face stoic and strangely calm, he breathes in a deep air, standing up and then staring back to the book he's holding "I'm an Idiot for not reading novel books sooner" he mumbled, as if thanking and maybe Appreciating Emily who recommended him to read this genre.
who would have thought that he's going to read this book in one day and immersing himself with the characters, no wait maybe he just didn't notice that he's reading it so intently with his mind wandering off different lands and Realms. he didn't even notice the time, yet he's not bothered about it.
"The librarian knows her thing"
he mumbled, putting the book down his desk. he sighs and stretches his body. now that he just finished reading the book it kinda feels.... depressing?
he Grumbled, wearing still his night clothes with his messy hair. he left his room and walked in the living room, to see his parents both talking but stopped once they saw his messy appearance. Demon Bull king who saw this raised a brow while Princess iron fan seems not bothered of how messy his son looked.
"Mother if you're going to ask as to why I'm in my room whole day don't—"
"Oh, seriously you can't be threatening me like that now are we?"
"Mother seriously—"
he sighs, giving up and just telling the truth "I'm reading a book, okay? happy?" He Grumbled, and his mother hummed "was it the librarian who recommended it to you?" She Grinned, hitting a nail that made Red son a bit Pink "S-shut up! it's just a book okay!" He denied but iron fan just Grinned seeing how flustered his son is.
Demon Bull king on the other hand squints his eyes "An eye with a girl I assume?" He asked, Bursting forth the Colors of pink on his son's face "Oh indeed, our son is going through it so let's leave him be" his wife Giggled. again, the young demon can't talk back because of how embarrassed he is, especially of how fast his father said it.
"Well Son?"
"I-I'm Going out!" He fumed, stomping out the living room, both couples Smirked seeing him leave, with a flustered state and Defeated look. Red son Grumbled with a face of either the truth that he is indeed interested to Emily or he's trying to deny it but kept on failing miserably.
