I posted this Archive of our own first I thought it would be good to have on the site too.
I love Red Son. He is a great character, plus he and Mei are cute together. So this chapter 1
Don't forget to comment.
Red Son, the spawn of the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan, walks through the city's streets, making his way to Pigsy's noodle shop. In his hand, is a flier poster. He stood just outside the door for what seemed like hours. He was debating with himself whether or not to go in. 'You can do this, Red Son. Just go inside and ask Mei to go with you to this city festival with you. The worst she can say is no,' he thought to himself, before going in. "Salutations, peasants."
Before he knew it, the noodle boy slammed him to the ground. "Hey, Red Son! Long time no see, buddy!" his on-again/off-again enemy yelled in his face with cheer.
"Get off me, Noodle Boy…please," he added, trying not to flame up before MK could do as he was told and helped the demon boy up. He dusted himself off and looked for the paper he was holding.
"Oh, I forgot there's a festival tomorrow night at the park," he heard the dragon girl's voice from right behind him. He quickly turned around to face her trying not to blush. He couldn't help it. Every time he saw her now since the lady bone demon was defeated he felt so warm without even needing his flame. "Oh, sorry, didn't mean to scare you, Red," she said before she handed back the poster to him.
Red Son cracked a smile before taking it from her. "I never get scared, but I was wondering if you wanted to go to it?" he asked before turning away to hide his blush again. "With me?"
"Sure, it sounds fun. Right, guys?" she said before to her friends.
Pigsy and Tang shook their heads. "The shop is gonna get more business and I need MK to help with deliveries," the pig man said.
"And I have to be here for moral support, for a bowl of free noodles of course," Tang added, before getting slapped on the back of the head by Pigsy.
Mei smiled and rolled her eyes. "Looks like it's just you and me tomorrow night, Red Boy."
The demon boy wanted to correct her, to tell her that it was meant to be an invite for a date but decided not to. "Oh well, we can make it work," he said with a forced giggle. His phone went off with a ping. "I have a few other errands to accomplish this evening. So, I will meet you here on the marrow at 5, Dragon girl?" he asked before heading out.
"Sure, that sounds great," she answered, waving goodbye.
He smiled, beaming with happiness. It wasn't the way he planned it out, but he took the win. He finished his errands and headed back home. "Mother, Father, I have returned," his shout echoed throughout the lair. They were glued to their baking show. It was getting late so went to bed. He couldn't wait for his date.
