My boyfriends brother

The next morning

-Elizabeth's POV-

I woke up, feeling in a bit of pain.

"Don't move, it will get worse." A voice said, making me turn around, despite the pain. Meliodas was there, sitting beside me, a laptop in his lap.

He wasn't even looking at me, so how did he know I was awake?

"Try to get back to sleep, I'm done working soon." He said, not taking his eyes off of the computer. I want to get out of here...

Before I knew it, Meliodas had already put down his computer and went under the blanket beside me.

"Sleep some more, okay? It will feel better soon." He said with a small smile. All I did was just stare at him. How will it feel better if I am in the same house where I have been forced to so much things?!

"Something wrong?" He asked. How did I even get back here?! Bellion had kidnapped me, how did he get me?!

"W-why am I-I here?" I asked and turned around for my back to face him. Small circles was drawn a bit down from my shoulder, making me shiver.

"I took you back of course. I don't want anyone else to touch you." He said as I asked "What's up with you? First, you are like a normal person, then you just switch to a psycho and turn to act like you actually care."

"Elizabeth, I do care... I love you. So much. I just don't know how to act. My dad and everyone else tells me to treat you differently... but now I understand that it's your decision, not my. I just want... you to be safe and happy." He said and stopped drawing circles.

Slowly, I turned around.

"Meliodas? If you could tell me, how did your childhood look like?" I asked while turning around to face him again. He gave me a small smile and said "W-Well, when I was 4 and my mom was pregnant with Zeldoris, mom decided to leave dad."

I gave him a small nod as he continued "She wanted me and Estarossa to go with her, but dad wanted me to stay. He would be lonely if I didn't, so I stayed. Estarossa and mom went away."

"Dad made me earn my food and those kind of things by working home. Doing dishes, cleaning and those kind of things, so I did that." He explained. That was so wrong. A 4 years old should be out, playing with friends.

"At the age of 7, he told me that if I wanted to survive, I needed to learn how to defend myself and those kind of things. He dropped me off at the gangsters headquarters and I would survive there in 3 years before he came back." Meliodas said. I feel bad for him. He never really had a real life.

"When I was about 10, dad started teaching me life and stuff. Like how to treat a girlfriend and how to treat wounds so I could use a person more then a few times." He said, but I cut him off by asking "Use a person?"

"Yeah, this kind of stuff." He said and traced his finger on one of my scars. A small smile was still on his face as he said "When I was 13, I brought this house and started to live alone until my brothers moved in."

"Then I meet you and I couldn't have asked for a better person to love." He explained. Actually, with the kind of childhood he had, I could understand why he acted like he did. It is still not okay though.

It was an silence in the room a while before he asked "Are you scared of me?"

"Y-yes." I answered as I stared up the ceiling. He just got closer to me and said "I won't hurt you anymore, I promise. If I do something wrong, just tell me and I will change."

That was kind of sweet.

I just hummed in response as I turned for my back to face him. The pain is unbearable, I really shouldn't move so much.

Then I felt his breath at my neck and an arm around my waist.

"Good night." He whispered. All I did was being quiet and trying to get to sleep, even if I have the one I fear the most behind me.

The next morning, I woke up alone. It was so quiet. My eyes locked on the food at the nightstand with a small note.

Slowly, I sat up and a row of pain shot through my body. Ignoring the pain and looking over to the note, I read it.

I made some food for you, eat up. You could use my laptop if you want, the password is "Love Elizabeth". It's also some painkillers, take one every fourth hour if it's too unbearable.

Love you.

That was sweet, even with how he have treated me before. Also his password, it was just too cute it actually made me blush.

I started with taking one painkiller with some of the orange juice. Then I started eating as I took his laptop and put on YouTube, watching "Ijustwanttobecool"

After some hours of just watching, I started feeling pretty hungry again. So I slowly got out of bed, feeling another row of pain shot through my body.

I will take another painkiller after I have eaten.

As I opened the door, I went in the hallway, just to Meliodas walked up the stairs with a plate of food and juice.

Once he saw me, he gave me a small smile and said "You should lay in bed. I'm getting food for you. Just relax and heal up."

"O-okay." I said and, as slow as before, went in the room. Once I sat down in the bed, Meliodas come and sat down beside me, looking at the painkillers.

"You should take one more soon, it will help." He said and pointed at the painkillers after placing down the plate in my lap. Then he saw that I have used the laptop and smiled.

"Well, I would love to watch something with you after you have eaten. Something you want to watch?" He asked as he put and arm around me.

"M-maybe." I said as I started eating. Meliodas smiled and kissed my cheek.

"You know, I love you more then anything else." He said and laid down in the bed, his arms behind his head as he looked up the ceiling.

Maybe he's not as bad as I thought? It feels like he really is trying... maybe I should just give him a chance?
