Oneshots!

#29 Dada!

So since you guys have been so awesome, I decided that although I am not updating the story for awhile, I would give you some more brotherly fluff from the same universe of Trust Lost and Hate Found. You don't have to read that story to read this, but I recommend doing so because it will make the sweetness even better. This is another little moment in the past between the ttwo, although it's when Zeldris is a toddler, one of the time parts that got skipped. Now then... on with the story!

Zeldris had been learning to walk for awhile now. Most got it in a few days due to their darkness aiding them and providing their legs with strength, however since the young boy didn't have any, two weeks had gone by and he could barely walk a few steps. The maids had given up on him after about a week, but Meliodas didn't.

There had been a bond between them ever since the young child was a baby. Meliodas had often taken care of the boy, even more then the maids since they frequently ignored his needs. And in turn, most saw a change in the frightening prince that none expected.

He would opt to stay home and send the other commandments in his place, he would be caught sleeping nearby the child when he would've before gone days without even a wink, and a few maids even whisper about how they saw him smile around the tot when he thought they were alone.

It had worried some while others were relieved, after all, it meant their most frightening and powerful soldier had what some saw as weakness and others saw as a new kindness in his heart.

Conversations would happen when the blond wasn't around to hear them, but they were quickly stopped as two guards who had discussed it had been chard to ash by the temperamental demon after he overheard it.

However even though it wasn't discussed anymore, it was still obvious to many how he was fond of the child. Proven so by him still patiently walking with the child once more in the hall.

As usual, the tot would take a few steps, teeter and then sit down as if he had just run a marathon. This cycle would continue for ten minutes, worrying many who saw as they thought Meliodas would lose his temper, but he never did.

Eventually the boy started doing better, something most thought impossible. And after a month of trying, he finally was walking with the help of a wall or person.

This wasn't the only thing Meliodas did for the boy either. He knew exactly what foods the child liked and didn't, he knew when the child was happy, sad, or about to cry, another thing he always knew how to prevent.

He was a natural with the small demon, making many wonder how he would be with his own child. Many even speculated that Zeldris was Meliodas's child that had been born in secret. After all, the Demon King hadn't had a child in hundreds of years.

However of course, these were just whispers... but maybe they didn't seem like they were to a small toddler.

They always talk so much about the person who comes to help me do things. I really like them. They are so nice to me and never yell like the others do. I wonder if I'll see them again today, I hope so.

"Ya know... they do look alike."

"Don't they?! I'm telling you, Lord Meliodas must be the father, he'd never treat any other child like that! I mean, he feeds him, sleeps near him, and even helped him learn to walk! Why would he do so much for a powerless creature if there wasn't a relationship?"
