Unlimited Melizabeth Works

The letter Q is for... the word "Quarrel".

[Meliodas' case]

It is story prior to the Holy War, where the Demon Clan and the Goddess Clan would usually face each other with countless wars, and yet it was the beginning of a surprisingly peaceful day, or at least it should be since the respective Clans are not fighting against each other today, until―

"Meliodas, you idiot!"

*SPACK!*

"Why?!"

―Until Elizabeth slapped Meliodas with a giant Ark on her hand, the demon was blown away a few meters before landing onto the ground on his back as the goddess stormed angrily from him and spread her wings as she flew away. Meliodas didn't bother to try and go after her as he sat down on the ground, rubbing the bruise left on his cheek before trying to recapitulate what just happened as everything was too fast for him to understand correctly.

'What on earth did I do?' He tried to replay the order of the events in his mind to understand better as he closed his eyes and frowned slightly in confusion.

It seems that for some reason he didn't understand why and how, he managed to anger Elizabeth enough for her to fight him back with blows instead of words. He knew that as the Supreme Deity's only child and also with the size of her wings, that Elizabeth held great power just like he did, but because she was such a pacifist he didn't expect her to use it, on him or all people specially. It was surely the first fight between a Demon and a Goddess without any relation toward the conflict between their respective clans.

'Well, let's just go back for today.' Meliodas thought as he carefully watched his surroundings if anyone saw them, Elizabeth was so taken over by her emotions earlier that she surely wasn't cautious enough about it so he had to make sure for both of them.

After confirming that it was safe to go back now, Meliodas nodded to himself as he called his darkness forth and shaped them into wings in order to fly away from Heaven's Lost Theater. Unlike the Goddess Clan, the Demon Clan didn't have natural wings after all. When he landed back on the ground after flying for a little while, he went back to his clan's place. Surprisingly someone was waiting for him.

"...Zeldris?"

Yes, it was his younger brother of a few hundred years. Unlike him, he had spiky black that grew counterclockwise to Meliodas', otherwise the two shared similar physical features. But Zeldris however looked really unpleased with his brother, glaring at him with crossed arms. This action sent a slight panic inside Meliodas' mind, could it be that Zeldris discovered about him secretly meeting Elizabeth and went to confront him about that?

"..." Meliodas silently gulped down under the intense gaze of his little brother, if possible he want to fight against Zeldris the least, during their training together he is often harsh in his Assault Mode, but Zeldris is his one and only precious younger brother so he does care for him more than the others...

Zeldris then took a deep breath before, "Why weren't you here for our usual training session today?"

...

"...What?" Meliodas looked at Zeldris in a confused manner, that sight made the younger one realize that his older brother was completely at loss on what he was talking about which made his eyebrow twitched badly as he lashed the feeling building up inside his chest out: "Weren't you the one who said that we should spend our free time into polishing our skills for the next battle?! We have nothing to do besides the preparations for the next battle so why when I expected you to come to the training ground, you were nowhere to be found?!"

Meliodas blinked once... and one more time.

Indeed now that he thinks about it, both Zeldris and him used to train together since childhood when they weren't under the teachings of their respective mentors but such a thing ended after they took a step onto the battlefield because each day was very busy.
