Crimson Family
Trip
Rachelle
Dad wants to talk to you
Luna turned her head as the teenage approaches her while holding her phone to her. There was her husband's picture moving on the screen.
Zaxerius
I was just worried since you're not picking up your phone
Zaxerius
Been calling you several times now
LunaMiria
Sorry, my phone's on the table
LunaMiria
As you can see, I'm cooking dinner right now
LunaMiria
Can't pick up your call
Zaxerius
I see, it's alright
Zaxerius
Will I be able to call you at night?
LunaMiria
Might be busy since there's a lot of chores to do around the house
Zaxerius
If it's alright with you
Zaxerius
Can you call me when you're about to go to sleep?
LunaMiria
...I'll see to it
Zaxerius
Then I won't bother you anymore
Zaxerius
Thank you for letting me borrow your phone
Rachelle
Anytime, dad! Can't wait for you to get home!
Zax smiled for the last time and the screen turned off. Rachelle turned to her mother who's now dozing off
Rachelle
Are you fighting with dad by any chance, mum?
LunaMiria
No, of course not
Rachelle
It just feels like it
Rachelle
Like you're holding back on something
LunaMiria
I think you watch too many dramas, Rachelle
LunaMiria
If you want, you can help me doing chores
Rachelle quickly dashed upstairs. Luna could only shakes her head
Luna was washing the dishes when Elena approaches her in the kitchen
Elena
I've put Selene to sleep
LunaMiria
Thank you, Elena
Elena
Let me help you, mother
LunaMiria
You should probably go rest now
LunaMiria
Go chill with your brother in the living room
Elena
Please let me help you
Luna smiled at her daughter's kind manner. She felt grateful for her daughter
LunaMiria
Thank you, Elena
Elena
You're welcome, mother
LunaMiria
Then I'll go take a shower
Elena
Father asked you to contact him when you're available
LunaMiria
Alright, thank you, Elena
Elena
Your welcome, mother
Luna sat on her bed, watching her phone on her hands. She had just taken a bath and was about to go sleep when she remembers that Zax was waiting for her call
Suddenly there was a loud cry from outside. Luna recognized the cry as Selene's and rushed outside. In the living room, Selene was crying in Elena's arms who's trying to calm the little child down
LunaMiria
What's going on?
Elena
Selene suddenly said that she wanted to sleep with you and father
Elena
I told her that father isn't home
Selena was crying even more and trying to squirm out from her arms. Luna quickly aided to her side, taking the baby from her daughter's arms. The little girl then calmed down a little bit
LunaMiria
Then Selene's will be sleeping with me for tonight
Elena
Weren't you talking with father in the room though?
LunaMiria
No, I have yet to call him
LunaMiria
Maybe Selene will calm down if she sees her father
Elena
Then, I'll go to sleep first, mother
LunaMiria
Yes, have a good rest, Elena
Luna looked at the little child who's staring back at her. The woman smiled
LunaMiria
Then do you want to see your daddy?
Luna was sitting on the bed with Selene on her lap. They were waiting for the screen to open. When the picture of Zax appears, Selene's eyes brightened and she smacked Luna's phone lightly
Zaxerius
Hey, little angel *chuckle*
Zaxerius
Where's your mother?
Zax smiled softly at the sight of her most two beloved girls
Zaxerius
What time is it now right there?
Zaxerius
Why Selene's has yet to sleep?
Zaxerius
Was she crying again?
LunaMiria
She said she wanted to sleep with you
LunaMiria
I figured since you're on a trip, I would let Selene videocall with you
Zaxerius
Are you missing daddy, Selene? *smirk*
Selene clapped her hands and looked so happy seeing her father
Zaxerius
So then, Selene is sleeping with you tonight?
LunaMiria
Yeah, she wanted to sleep with me too
Zaxerius
You don't have to sleep alone then
LunaMiria
..It's not like I've never slept alone before
Zaxerius
Yes, I'm only saying
Zaxerius
As much as I wanted to go home
Zaxerius
They need me here for at least another week
Selene
Daddy, sleep with me!
Zaxerius
Hm? Of course, I will be with my little angel until she's asleep
Selene seemed to like her nickname from her father. She immediately crawled to Luna's side and laid down, pulling the blanket to her head. Luna chuckled
LunaMiria
You won't be able to see daddy if you cover your whole face, Selene
Selene peeked with her adorable big eyes and giggled as she sees her parents were looking at her
Zaxerius
I wish I was there with you guys
Zaxerius
But this damn work just won't end
LunaMiria
Why are you cursing in front of your daughter?
Luna glared at him, causing him to sweatdrop and shut up immediately. Luna then noticed less in a minute, Selene's eyes were closed and she had already slept. Luna's expression softened and she caressed her daughter's hair
LunaMiria
Sleep tight, my dear
LunaMiria
I don't need to know
LunaMiria
I'm sorry I think I just had a lot in my mind
Zaxerius
It's a little difficult to explain through our call
Zaxerius
But I promise it's not like what you think it is
Zaxerius
I'll get home as soon as I can
Zaxerius
Please wait for me
Luna stared at her husband briefly before smiling softly
LunaMiria
You don't need to rush
LunaMiria
I'm sure it's just the same as before
LunaMiria
I won't think too much, so you can work comfortably there
Zaxerius
Luna, I know I have never make you stop worrying
Zaxerius
I just wanted you to know that I still love you very much
Zaxerius
You're still the only one for me
He looked so guilty as if he could break anytime whenever she leaves him for good. Luna smiled softly
LunaMiria
Yes, I know, dear
Zax's head perked up upon hearing her nickname for his. As if he hadn't heard the words for a very long time, he looked so happy
LunaMiria
I'll be waiting for you at home
Zaxerius
I'll go home as quickly as I can
They talked until late at night
Russell
Give me back my console!
Zopheri
You stayed in your room the whole time and hardly spend any time with your brothers
Zopheri
You can at least converse with us for awhile
Rachelle
Even though you're my twin, why are you so dense??
Russell glared at his twins but his expression quickly softens when he notices his mother and oldest brother
LunaMiria
Russel, you haven't eaten yet since morning
LunaMiria
I made you breakfast- uh, I guess it's lunch now
Xaverius
Are you acting up because father is not here?
Xaverius
If you can't take care of yourself at the very least, don't raise your ego on someone who cares about you
Russell
...Sorry, mother and brother
LunaMiria
You must have been starving
LunaMiria
I'll eat with you
Xaverius
Don't be too soft, mother
LunaMiria
I haven't yet to eat lunch
LunaMiria
You guys should enjoy
Luna smiled at her son and brought him to dining room
Tobias
I'll eat with mother and Russell
Elena
Ah, I think it's time for Selene to eat
Rachelle
Ah! Why is everyone going?!
Rachelle
It's not even noon!
Xaverius
Let's just eat, everyone
Zopheri
(Huh??? But I just eat tho)
But as everyone stood up to head to the dining room, poor Zopheri had no choice but to come along with them
It seemed someone was trying to open the door. Luna turned her head toward the door
LunaMiria
I wonder who it was
Daniel
Probably Frederick?
LunaMiria
But he should still be at school at this time..
Zopheri
Maybe he comes home a little earlier? It's normal though
LunaMiria
I'll go take a look
Tobias
Let me do it, mother
LunaMiria
Continue your lunch
Zax grinned softly at the sight of his surprised wife. He let go of the bag he was holding onto and hugged his wife tight as he plants kisses on her
LunaMiria
Shouldn't you still be at Kilua at this time?
Zaxerius
I finished my work earlier
Zaxerius
I wanted to see you
He smiled again as he kisses her on the lips. Luna could not escape his grip as he holds onto her tight
LunaMiria
H-Have you eaten yet?
LunaMiria
Everyone's having lunch right now, including Xaverius
Zaxerius
Right now, I just wanted to have my fill of you
LunaMiria
We're outside, what if the children see us?
Zaxerius
..It's not like they never see us doing this before
Zax put up an expression as if was confused why she was causing such a fuss like that. Luna blushed to her ears
LunaMiria
Y-You must be tired
LunaMiria
You should t-take a shower first
School Meeting
They were watching tv when suddenly Frederick approaches them
LunaMiria
Family meeting at your school?
Frederick
They decided to have a family meeting once a year from now on..
LunaMiria
That's a nice thing to do
LunaMiria
Should I go then?
Frederick
They insisted that I brought the two of you though
Zaxerius
On what occasion?
Frederick
To discuss the future of their child and reporting behavior
LunaMiria
Then shouldn't one be enough to attend?
Frederick
There's a gathering for the parents once the meeting is over
Frederick
So that they can gather and discuss things between parents
Zaxerius
It should be fine for both of us to attend
Zaxerius
Both of us will take a day off on that day
Zaxerius
It will be a good time to enjoy once in awhile, love
LunaMiria
I mean, you're not wrong
LunaMiria
If that's the case then I can do nothing
LunaMiria
Is there any words about the requirements clothes?
Frederick
You can just wear whatever you like
Frederick
Though I think they will put on something fancy again like last year..
Frederick quickly shut his mouth and averted his eyes from his mother
LunaMiria
Frederick Thompson Lucadrion!
LunaMiria
You never told us about this before!
Frederick
...Because I didn't want to!
Luna looked dejected at her stubborn son
Zaxerius
I'm sure Frederick has a good reason as to why he's not telling us about this
Zaxerius
Aren't you, Frederick?
Frederick
The students used to flock around me whenever I go to school. never leaving me alone
Frederick
That's why I'm scared if they were to do the same to you guys
Frederick
I'm afraid if I brought you guys too, you will suffer the same
Work
Zax looked at his dearest wife whose laying on the sofa at his study room. His focus on the laptop and papers on his hand were completely forgotten as he stared at her with vast shock and confusion
Zaxerius
What are you saying, love?
LunaMiria
You don't deny it so I guess it's true
She dropped her head and for a sec she looked so heartbroken
Zaxerius
What? No, of course not!
Zaxerius
What are you saying? I couldn't even live without you
Zax stood up from his chair and walked toward his depressed wife to hug her. He absolutely had no idea why she was acting this way
Zaxerius
Is something troubling you, my love?
When he finally sat besides her, she immediately sat on his laps and wrapped her arms around his neck as she grins
LunaMiria
I'm just kidding
Zaxerius
...you scared me there
Zaxerius
Don't say something like that ever again
Zaxerius
You know there is no way I could ever hate you
LunaMiria
Hehe, sorry, dear
LunaMiria
It's just that you've been so immersed in the job that you make me feel lonely here
Zaxerius
The company's in hectic lately
Zaxerius
The advertising company that we've been cooperating with suddenly withdraw and we only had two days to find a quick replacement for it
LunaMiria
That sounds tough
LunaMiria
Have you found it yet?
Zaxerius
Yes, fortunately we found it just on time
Zaxerius
Everything's been taken care of now so I'll leave the rest to Sebastian
LunaMiria
Poor Sebastian *giggle* sometimes I find that you're being too hard on him
LunaMiria
At this rate, he might quit at any time
LunaMiria
Where would you find such a loyal and hardworking man?
Zaxerius
Even though I tried to sneak through my job when Sebastian didn't notice to make time to cuddle with you
LunaMiria
Of course I noticed, my dear
LunaMiria
And I loved every time you do that
LunaMiria
I still think Sebastian is a very capable man to be able to work with you for such a long time
Zaxerius
He is my secretary
Zaxerius
He should be able to put up with my orders or else I would have fired him
LunaMiria
I'm just kidding, honey
LunaMiria
You don't have to be so stingy about it
Luna planted a few kisses on his face to calm him down, seeing as he starts to get annoyed
LunaMiria
Don't be mad, okay?
Zaxerius
It's just irritating to hear you praising another man in front of me
LunaMiria
Are you jealous then?
Zaxerius
Did you have to ask?
Luna giggled and kissed her sweet husband on the lips. It even got more lovable as he doesn't want to respond to her kiss
LunaMiria
Are you not going to kiss your wife, darling?
Zaxerius
I wonder about it
Zaxerius
If I were to kiss her right now, would she still think of that capable man she talks about so much?
Zaxerius
It's as if she likes him more than myself
LunaMiria
You know I only love you, right?
LunaMiria
I don't think there's another man who's more perfect than you
Luna raised an eyebrow as she finds him beaming with proud
LunaMiria
I was wondering if my perfect man had already gotten bored of me
Zax opened his eyes and stared at her surprised again. His face looked pale now as he's trying to figure out if she was teasing him or not. As intelligent as he was, he could never stop worrying when it comes to his wife's jokes. Sometimes Luna found it cute so she tends to tease him a little longer
LunaMiria
It's a little depressing to think how I am no match to my perfect husband, but I can't do anything about it
LunaMiria
Sometimes, I felt insecure wondering if I already am a good wife to him or not
Zaxerius
You're perfect for me
Zaxerius
I could not ask for more
Zaxerius
I only love you, my only and beloved wife
Zaxerius
There's no other woman in my eyes
LunaMiria
Mm... that's what you said
LunaMiria
You're only saying that to make me feel better
Zaxerius
I should have just kissed you
He held her waist and started kissing her passionately yet so gently. It was as if he was trying to show how much he loves her yet trying to be considerate of her. Luna smirked into the kiss as she lets him devour her lips hungrily
She moaned lowly as his lips started to trail to her neck and into her chest. His hot slender fingers started to sneak under the blouse she was wearing while his other hand held onto her waist so that she can't escape anytime soon. He already planned on not letting her go
Zaxerius
There is only one perfect and beautiful woman in my life
Zaxerius
The one that I love very much
Zaxerius
And that is the mother of my children
Luna's heart skipped a bit and her stomach as if was filled with butterflies as his crimson eyes locked with hers. There was no joking or flatter in his expression, but a serious confession he made
Luna could felt her heat heated up as she hides her head on his broad shoulder, yet it was as if her heart was filled with so much love and tenderness for him
He kissed the side of her head as she continues to lays her head on his shoulder
Zaxerius
You're so beautiful, my love
Zaxerius
And you make me so happy
Zaxerius
So don't even go around telling yourself that you're not perfect for me
Zax smiled at how tender his wife quickly became and kissed her lips once again
Zaxerius
Do you want to go on a date?
Luna struggled to look at the clock on the table while Zax keeps kissing her all over
LunaMiria
I think it's a little late for a date
LunaMiria
Why don't we go tomorrow?
Zaxerius
Whenever you want to, my love
Zaxerius
I was thinking to bring you to a nice restaurant at a hotel and spend a night there
Zaxerius
Just the two of us
Zaxerius
No interruption nor disturbance
Zaxerius
Of course, it's up to you
After some thoughts, Luna thought it wasn't such a bad idea
LunaMiria
B-But, aren't you tired from all the work?
Zaxerius
I'm more than happy to spend time alone with my wife without any disruption
LunaMiria
I-If you say so, then I might as well comply
