TABÚ (Seven Deadly Sins Story)

Under the Veil

Salem looked into Ban's crimson red eyes, and saw that they had softened, his regular sharp gaze became gentle and loving, filled with sincerity and love. Salem placed his right hand on Ban's cheek, softly rubbing his scar. "Oh, my love... Of course I will." "Yes?" Ban questioned with a hopeful expression as both of them began tear up. "Yes!" Salem exclaimed as Ban pulled him into a loving embrace, lifting him, and spinning around with glee. "I love you." " I love you too."

"In that case let's make it official." Ban stated as he extended his right hand out towards the door. Using his magic "Snatch", Ban made a small red velvet box fly into his outstretched hand. Opening it, it revealed a beautiful red and silver wedding ring. "It's beautiful." Salem said staring at it with awe as Ban slipping the ring onto his left ring finger. After checking out the ring Salem and Ban gazed lovingly into each other's eyes and soon kissed.

"Come on, lets head back to bed." Ban said carrying the white haired male bridal style back inside, which caused the shorter male to laugh. After closing the balcony door, Ban gently laid Salem down onto the bed, the two then cuddled, with Ban's arms wrapped around Salem's waist and back, their legs intertwined with each other. Salem then made a harp appear on their night stand as it began to play the same melody as before on its own. The hypnotic tune lulling them back to sleep.

A few days later, a dense fog covered all of Liones, the Sins along with Salem, stood atop an old castle of Liones. "This brings back memories. This is the old castle where we were framed for the murder of the grand master." Meliodas stated as Salem's face deadpanned. "Your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me." Salem said sarcastically, wearing a black dress shirt, pants and shoes. "Hey, Merlin. What did you want to talk about, gathering us in a place like this?" Ban asked, wearing a red dress shirt, a pair of grey pants with a single dark grey stripe going down each leg, and dark red shoes. Gowther was wearing the Boar Hat's waitress uniform, Melrin's outfit was a mixture of both of her previous outfits, and Escanor was wearing his bartender outfit. "Do you remember His Majesty's vision? This morning, His majesty saw that same vision again. When the moon shimmers at noon, and the low-hanging fog fills the kingdom. Atop the peak of the fateful castle that made us traitors to the kingdom, like a shimmer of hot air, another moon appears. The Seven Deadly Sins... will gather once again." Merlin recited Bartra's vision as a dark purple portal opened up and Diane and King came out of it.

"Hey everyone, long time no see." A shirtless King stated, wearing Helbram's old helmet on his head and sprouting a tiny pair of fairy wings on his back. "Are you both in good health?" Merlin questioned. "Where did you come out from?" "Diane, King, are you all right?" Ban and Escanor questioned as Diane's eyes began to water. I'm so happy to see everyone again! If only the captain were still alive." "But I am alive. Just barely, underneath your butt." Meliodas' muffled voice could be heard underneath Daine as she had accidentally fallen on top of him. Diane and King look at him in horror as if they had just seen a ghost.

"I've waited so long for this moment. I see you've gather at last. The Seven--" Bartra was interrupted by King and Diane's screams, exclaiming that Meliodas was a ghost as he dusted himself off. "How could such a foolish runt of a ghost even exist?" Ban said mockingly at the two. "It's just as Mr. Ban says. That is undoubtedly the captain, in the living flesh." Escanor stated. "Could you please listen to..." "Well, to sum up, a lot of stuff happened, and I came back to life." Meliodas stated simply interrupting Bartra once again. King then flew down towards Meliodas with a somber look on his face. "I made all these wrong assumptions about you, and I said a lot of horrible things too. So, I'm sorry." "King, where'd you get these wings?" "Puny!" "So they finally sprouted, huh? Congrats! Now you can proudly join the ranks of the grownups!" "But they're still kid-sized!" Meliodas and Ban disregarded his attempt at an apology, as they checked out his new wings. "Jeez! What's your problem? I'm being serious here!" King exclaimed, annoyed at the two as they laughed.
