Author's notes: I tried making a chicken salad with my younger sister and it didn't go too well despite the fact that it's such a simple dish to prepare. I thought this would be a suitable interaction between (Y/n) and Meliodas as brother and sister since Meliodas sucks at cooking (like me :P). 

Honestly, this was just meant to be a fun chapter before I go on to writing the main story which will have a lot of both canon and non-canon stuff. So naturally, there's gonna be a lot of plot twists as well because that's just me 😉

So I made some changes to the timeline of this story since someone explained to me in my Zeldrix x Reader story that Zeldris and all of the Demons who were trapped in the seal were frozen in time and that's why they did not age. Originally, Aldro was cursed 100,000 years ago but I have now made it 15,000 years ago. Additionally, (Y/n) was 4,000 years old but I have now made her 100 years old whereas Zeldris (this piece of information is canon!) is 252 years old. I think this timeline will be more appropriate for my story.  

Next chapter will be up next weekend! Enjoy :)

"Big Brother, you're aware that I've not once in my life cooked or prepared a dish?"

The Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins shoots me a cheeky grin. "Which is exactly why I'm gonna teach you now, Sweet Cheeks!"

I give him a suspicious look. "You can cook?"

An enthusiastic nod. "Sure do! Now get over here."

Trudging my feet along, I head over to my energetic brother who's currently behind the kitchen counter of the Boar Hat Tavern. I think it's way too early in the morning to be doing this.

The Seven Deadly Sins and Princess Elizabeth thought that some alone time with the Sin of Wrath would allow us to...Actually, I'm not even sure what they thought when they left me with my brother. Our newly obtained powers, more so for me, must have frightened everyone and left them unsure as to how they should react or how they should deal with us. I don't really blame them. I'm quite terrified of what I've become, and how I might worsen in the future, just like my older brother.

The Sin of Wrath skims through all of the recipes Ban has written down the past few weeks and he abruptly comes to a stop at a particular page. After reading whatever it says on that page, he eagerly jabs a finger at the recipe and slides the book over to me. "This one!" he exclaims. "Let's try out this dish!"

I peer closer at the page and read the name of the dish: Chicken Salad. A small smirk appears on my face. "My favourite," I whisper and when I look up, I receive a wink.

"Whatcha say, Sweet Cheeks? Wanna make this bad boy and surprise Elizabeth and Ban?"

I straighten my back and immediately nod my head. "Let's do it!"

I mean it's a chicken salad, how hard can it be?

"Are you really sure we have to add that?" I ask for the third time as my brother adds a teaspoon of chilli powder into the chicken salad mix. Though he acts like he is, I know the Sin is not entirely following Ban's recipe.

He turns to me and blinks. "Uh, actually, I'm not sure."

"Are you serious?" I snap and then snatch the chilli powder and spoon from his hand. "Don't overdo it, Meliodas!"
