THIRD PERSON POV

In the beginning meeting up with Elizabeth had been a pain, meliodas being anxious of being found out and being punished accordingly.
Then it had escalated so easily, now the days where he would be with her was the highlight of his week, and he knew why.

He had made the mistake of opening up the box that held his emotions, and his love had latched onto her.
She had become his world, his best friend and the woman he was head over heels for, but it was painful accepting it, because he knew it could never mean anything.
Not only because of their differences.
Their clans.
But because Elizabeth was already with another.
Having been promised off to him by her mother, and now dating him.

He wish she would detest the idea as much as he did.
But to her it was natural, and what was worse was that she seemed to enjoy spending time with her boyfriend, Mael. He knew that from the way she would speak of it.

He would always smile and nod, hiding the pain every word sent through him.

Mael seemed okay, but Meliodas liked to imagine that he could do so much better.
He could treat her better.
Couldn't he?
If he was just given the chance...

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Mael actually brought me flowers today, he's very sweet don't you think?" Elizabeth smiled as she giggled.
Of course Mael was far from everything Elizabeth brought up on conversations, some days he wasn't brought up at all, some days he was, of course it depended on his actions, one of his common ones was bringing Elizabeth flowers and leaving them in front of her door for her to wake up to.

"Again?" Meliodas squeezed out through a fake smile.
Did that man know any romantic gestures beside giving flowers?

Elizabeth immediately took notice of Meliodas's tone, he had used it many times.
She knew he did his best to support her, but she also understood that he detested arranged relationships and so he wasn't always as happy for her.
If only he knew...

"Yes again" she laughed.
"I just think it's a sweet gesture, but I'll stop talking all lovey dovey now" she laughed again.

This time meliodas let out a deep sigh and let his head fall back.
Another thing he hated What when she used the word "love" when she spoke about Mael.
How could she love him? What did he have other than apparently 10 fields of flowers.

"Why do you love him Elizabeth?" Meliodas asked, still not raising his head from its hanging position.

"What?"

He had reached his breaking point so he quickly positioned himself to look her in the eyes.
"Why do you love him?! Way does he have to give you That's so special? You could have anyone else! So why mael? Why do you just accept this?!" Once again he referred to the fact that the whole relationship was arranged.

Elizabeth scoffed at him through a nervous laugh and decided to ignore his last question.
"I know you don't like him meliodas but he's just a really good guy, besides theres nobody else"

"Yes there is" he clenched his fists by his sides.
He couldn't hold it back anymore.
He Felt like he was going to explode if he did.

Again Elizabeth scoffed and shook her head at the very idea of that.
"And who would that be?"
She watched him amused as he stated silent.
"Thought so-"
