#73 Why Did You Have To Leave? (Final Part)

Meliodas didn't know if he felt nauseated or happy when the room started to spin after the eight glass of whatever alcohol he was in the process of drinking. However he did know that after a few more, the blond would pass out, which was the goal.

So refilling the glass with shaky hands as some spilled, he went to down the harsh liquid only to be rudely interrupted as he heard the sound of the door clicking open.

"M-Meliodas? We're coming in! It's just us, we decided to use the spair key when you wouldn't answer the door. We're just here to make sure you're..."

Harelquin trailed off as he went from the entryway to the living room where Meliodas was standing with his drink. Not really caring about the very worried and shocked expressions on his friends faces as they saw him, the blond simply downed the liquid before preparing to pour another. After all, if he ignored them long enough they'd leave.

"Holy shit Meli... W-What.... happened to you?"

The liquid burned his throat as it was going down, making the already unnerving chuckle he let out even  worse.

"Oh ya know.... brother died from an overdose, starting drinking a little to keep me from breaking down. Then a little turned into a lot and a lot turned into even more. So here I am now! The best part though is when I pass out and then wake up forgetting what happened.... Cause then I get to see him again for a minute! Isn't that funny?"

Meliodas's speech was slurred as he swayed slightly, unable to keep proper balance, the others still stunned into silence as they watched the strongest person they knew completely falling apart.

Snapping out of the daze first, Ban gently approached the other and tried to talk softly, making sure he didn't startle or anger the blond.

"Meliodas, this isn't healthy.."

"Oh wow! You called me by my name... heh, guess I'm in big trouble huh?"

"No, you aren't in trouble, we just want to make sure you're okay.. When is the last time you had a shower?"

The boy pondered on that, not sure himself as most of his time was spent sleeping or drinking. He didn't even know when had last eaten due to having a full stomach making it take longer for him to get drunk.

Oh. That would explain why his clothes were getting so baggy.

"You know... I think that look says it all. Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

Gently grabbing the blond's arm, he shook his head and held his glass tightly.

"Nooooo.... I-I need to finish this glass first."

"I think you've had enough to drink Meli."

"No dammit it isn't enough until I pass out! I want to see Zeldris again dammit!"

The mood changing very quickly from dazed and easygoing to enraged at the man who picked him up, he started hitting him as hard as he could while the other didn't budge, although the force being used was definitely gonna leave bruises.

"M-Meliodas stop it! King, go start the bath, I'll take care of him."

Still thrashing like crazy as he was held like a sack of potatoes, the yelling and punching soon turned to insane giggling and laughing as the boy's hits grew softer almost immediately after the change.

"Y-Ya want to know something funny Ban? Zeldris didn't mean to commit suicide! H-He overdosed because he was using the dosage he used to before treatment! W-Which means... hahaha.... that... h-he died because I.... b-because I tried to help him get better. I killed him... I killed my little brother!"
