Mask

6

-Elizabeth's POV-

"Ahhhhhhh!" I heard a scream that woke me up. I stared at the brown haired girl in my room, immediately covering myself with the blanket on the floor.

"W-who are you? W-w-what are you doing inside here?!" I asked, freaking out slightly. She just ran out of the room, making me sigh. It just HAD to happen the one time I'm not alone and naked.

Turning around, I saw the eldest prin- Meliodas I mean, sleeping like a newborn baby. He was kinda cute when he was asleep.

He's also unbelievable attractive without his mask... I could completely understand that he wears a mask to not get attention, he could be a model or something if he wanted.

He snuggled into my chest, which made me blush. I brushed some of his hair out of his face before carefully stroming it. That's when my door bust open and I heard someone say "See?! I told you!"

I immediately pulled the blanket over Meliodas, trying to hide him. I hid him for two reasons. 1, he's not allowed to show his face or anything in public and 2, it's already obvious what we did last night, I don't want it to get obvious for someone else too.

I turned around to face them, my face probably blood red as I asked "W-What a-a-are you two d-doing here?"

I had no idea who they even was! It's just a brown haired girl and a orange-brown haired boy, who was bleeding nose blood. All they did was stare...

"W-we are so s-s-sorry to bust i-i-into your room p-princess." The boy said, holding in his nose.

Just then and there, I heard groaning from behind me before an arm snuck around my waist. To make it even worse, Meliodas just had to kiss my cheek and say "Good morning."

"See?! See?! I told you! What was it I said?!" The brown haired said, pointing at us. All I did was slid under the blanket. I can't take more embarrassments...

-Meliodas' POV-

I just stared at the two staring back at me.

"Who are you?" I finally asked, twisting a bit of Elizabeth's hair around my finger as I held her close.

"Who are we? Who are you?! How could you sleep with the purest being in the world and not be ashamed of yourself?!"

"Purest being in the world?" I asked, lifting up the blanket so that I could see Elizabeth, who just stared back at me.

"Were you the purest being there is?"

"M-maybe..." She mumbled, snuggling into my stomach a bit. I just covered her again, saying "Sorry, I didn't know."

"How could you sa-"

"Hey, brother? Father wants to meet us in like 10... you missed breakfast and he's angry..." Zel walked inside the room, reading a book, taking everyone's attention.

The silence made him look up, to see all people inside and my uncovered face.

"Y-you are the demon King's son?!" The boy said, pointing at me.

"I'm dead." I mumbled, also going underneath the blanket to hide. Father will be so angry at me because of this...

. . . . .

I paced back and forth while buttoning my shirt. Elizabeth was already dressed in a dress and was putting on what she called makeup.

She sighed and turned around, asking "Meliodas, what's the matter?"

"Father is probably angry. Really, really angry."

"My mother is probably not that happy either..."

I stopped walking, staring at her half done face with makeup. "Will she punish you?"

"No, she will just be disappointed..."

"Thank god, I wouldn't want you to get hurt because of me..." I said, walking closer to her. She suddenly embraced me and I melted into her. My head  falling on her chest.

"Don't worry Meliodas... It will be fine..."

Her hug was so warm and gentle. I love it so much...

"So comfy..."

One of her arms was lifted up and her hands started petting my head, slowly stroking her fingers through my hair. My body nearly turned limp with how relaxing this was.

"You smell really good..." I whispered, my arms going around her slowly.

"We should go soon Meliodas... our parents are waiting."

"Just one more minute." I mumbled and she let me. She continued hugging me and stroking my hair for a few more minutes before we both had to continue making ourselves ready.

I missed her warmth immediately, but ignored it as I just grabbed my west to put on too. I walked over to watch Elizabeth put on makeup in front of the mirror, seeing her trying to put it on fast.

She's stressed... I shouldn't have asked her to hold me a little more... She wouldn't have been as stressed if I didn't...

Looking around the room, I quickly saw my mask on the floor and grabbed it, putting it on before using my darkness to cover the rest of my body up.

Elizabeth was basically done when I was. She looked at me, asking "Are you ready to go?"

I nodded, grabbing her hand. She looked down at our hands before smiling slightly, saying "I wish I could see your face more often..."

A smile formed on my face as I said "Whenever we are alone, you can see it..."

She nodded and walked to open the door. I followed close behind her as she led the way to the dinning hall.

My nerves just grew, not knowing how bad father will punish me for this... I never disobeyed him like this, I never overslept...

He's probably furious... so I'm gonna get a good beating for this...

I can just hope he will take it easy since we're not at home...
