Part 2 of C is for "Christmas"

3rd Person's pov:

"So, Sir Meliodas, have you decided on what to get your secret santa?" Elizabeth asked as they walked through a forest.

"I thought I did but seeing what Escanor got for Merlin, I need to do better." He shrugged.

Escanor revamped Merlin's whole lab and decorated it beautifully. He also wrote her a love poem and gave her a sweet bouquet of roses. How cute.

"Hey Elizabeth? Where are we going anyway?"

"We're nearly here." She smiled. "I want to show you something."

"That energy, I'm sensing." As they approach their destination Meliodas stops them. "Could it be..?"

A short figure with jet black hair and bright emerald eyes walks out.

"Zeldris?"

Meliodas is stunned. He doesn't know whether he should grab Elizabeth to run or get on guard. He looks at Elizabeth to check if she's as shocked as he is, but she just smiles.

"Just know, I'm only here because Elizabeth asked me to do this." He frowns and looks away, knowing he actually just wanted to speak to his brother again. (In this book, Meliodas doesn't kill Gelda, but Zeldris is the one who finds her himself.)

"H-how are you? How is Gelda?" He asked barely even knowing where to start.

"Gelda's fine." Zeldris paused. "She told me.. about how you kept her alive for me."

"Yeah.." he sighed. "I wanted you to have the chance to see her again."

"T-thank you."

"So are you still working for father?"

Elizabeth was enjoying the sight of two brothers reuniting again. It almost made her want to cry. She couldn't imagine ever losing her sisters. She wanted to stay for longer but she knew Meliodas' present wasn't done yet.

"Merlin now." She whispered as she signalled Merlin to teleport her back to the tavern.

********************************************

Since Meliodas was distracted, it was time for his present to be finalised.

"Uh.. Okay everyone." Elizabeth waited as they quietened down. "Meliodas will be back soon so we need to work quickly!" Elizabeth yelled. She wasn't used to being in charge this was all so new to her.

"You two get the ale ready." She orders as she points to Ban and King. "You guys, get the ribbons and um.." She looks around for an order to give them. "Make this place look shiny." She said as they stood there confused as the place was new so it was already clean. "Please?" She pleaded.

"Yes your highness!" They do as told.

"Ah." Elizabeth sighed as she was relieved with how well everything was going. "Oh and Merlin when he gets here, tell him to put this on." She gives her a blindfold.

After 10 minutes of cleaning, polishing and decorating, Meliodas finally arrived and he came with Zeldris.

"Captain, I've been ordered to give you this." Merlin states, handing him the blindfold. He wears it with ease and the excitement is evident on his face.







"SURPRISE!" They all yell.






Meliodas walks in to a new and improved tavern. It's much more bigger, with more tables, drinks, a bigger bar space and several spare rooms for visitors. "What is it my birthday or something?"

"No silly! Elizabeth's your secret santa." Diane cheers.

It all made sense to him now. From the Zeldris arrangement to this surprise party. He was quite literally flabbergasted as he didn't expect her to do all this. Two gifts in one! Customers started to flood the place as word got around about the new tavern. It was practically a party. There was music, a LOT of drinking and a LOT of dancing.

"Elizabeth~" a drunk Meliodas peered at the corner. "I'm loving the new uniform." He said as he groped around like he usually did.

"I'm glad you like your present, Sir Meliodas." She smiled, flustered.

People started to leave as it was getting late and the rest of the sins went to bed.

Elizabeth went upstairs to her bedroom that she shared with Meliodas and looked in the mirror and smiled. He walked in with a slight smile on his face and thanked her, "You're perfect, you know that right?"

"S-sir Meliodas, perfect is a big word for someone like me."

"Nope, in fact it's too small. You're extraordinary." He continued, walking closer. "And I appreciate you a lot, even though I don't say it often."

She was getting even more red by the second.

"Please allow me to show you just how much I appreciate you."

tee hee

********************************************

"So father who wins the gift from you?" Veronica asked. Her gift to Griamore was.. Well you'll find out later as the chapters go on...

"I've decided that Elizabeth delivered the best present." Bartra starts. "And her gift from me.." He paused as they all started a drumroll for suspense, "is the gift of my love which she already has."

They all, but Elizabeth, fake faint to the ground as they were expecting a better gift. She just giggles.

"I personally think that's the best gift anyone can get." Bartra shrugs.

Preview: Elizabeth and the rest of the sins have been invited to a house party where they participate in all kinds of games.
