Soul Turned Red: Chapter Thirteen

Poke

Slight stirr, but not enough.

Poke poke

A groan of frustration and a pillow over the head, no further reaction though.

Poke.

"Ugh.. Meli what is it?"

Poke poke.

"Why are you poking me? Stop it!"

Silence. No movement.. subject starting to fall back asleep.

Poke.....

Poke.

He gave an innocent little purr when his brother came out of the little blanket cocoon that had been made and gave him a glare.

"Meli... It is seven o'clock in the morning... on my off day."

SOOO?

"Meli.. It is SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING on my OFF day!"

YES, YOU ALREADY SAID THAT.

He gave a defeated sigh before sitting up.

"Ya know you're a real pain sometimes. What do you want?"

OH NOTHING. I WAS JUST TESTING HOW MANY POKES IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE YOU WAKE UP.

His eye twitched while the other gave a completely innocent smile.

"You.. were testing... how many pokes it would take to make me wake up..? On my off day... at seven o'clock in the morning.."

He nodded, completely oblivious to the murderous tone in the other's voice.

YEP! I WAS BORED.

Poke.

"THAT'S IT! ESTA! HE'S SLEEPING WITH YOU TOMORROW!"

It was rare that Zeldris didn't want to have Meliodas sleep in the same room as him, almost never happening at all. Which is why the exclamation confused Estarossa. However... he understood much better now.

"Meliodas, I have work tomorrow. Can you settle down so I can sleep."

No reaction. The boy was still perched on top of the bookcase with a playful look in his eyes.

"Meli, it's dangerous up there, come down please."

"Gegegege...."

He could tell that the blond was laughing even though it did come out a little distorted.

"This isn't funny, please come down now before I make you."

"Grrrrrrrwww."

"Don't say no to me! Come on, you know better then to do things like this. Come down from there!"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr."

"Really, we've come to this? You are actually growling at me right now?"

"Grrrrrrrr."

"Hey! Don't talk back to me! Get down from there!"

This continued until the early hours of the morning. As soon as Estarossa would get him down from one place he would hop to another with surprising speed and precision.

By the time he finally got Meliodas to settle down his alarm was going off and the sun was starting to peak through the window.

"Alright... tomorrow night will be better now that he's gotten it out of his system."
