-Elizabeth's POV-

I watched the movie that was put on, trying to ignore that Meliodas was snuggled up against me. His arms laid softly around me as his face was snuggled into my side. He was almost laying down beside me in the couch.

I grabbed some more popcorn as I looked at the tv, which was nearly as big as his wall. This was nearly like some cinema.

As one of Meliodas' hands went down to my upper leg, I slapped it away.

"Don't touch there."

He nodded, his arm going back around my waist, making me sigh.

"What's wrong?" He immediately asked, looking up at me.

"You are too clingy. Do this to some girlfriend or something, not me."

"You are the only one I have..."

"Well, I don't like it, so stop it." I groaned and he let go of me, just sitting down beside me instead.

. . . . .

"I should go home and get my thing-"

"No! Don't go!" Meliodas said immediately hugging me to make me stay.

"I have to get my stuff. I need a more clothes, my pyjamas, my hairbrush, toothbrush and everything."

"I will get those things for you. Just stay here."

"You are starting to get ridiculous, just let me go home and get i-"

"No! I don't want to be alone anymore! Just stay with me, please!"

"You are so annoyin-"

"Stay!" He demanded, sounding like he would burst out crying. He's definitely mentally unstable and I have to seal with this until tomorrow! It's so annoying! But... I do feel a bit bad for him too...

Sure, he can be embarrassing, arrogant and odd, but he seems so lonely. I mean, if he's willing to go back to his ex, then it has to be rather serious, doesn't it?

Besides, I guess I built some kind of strange friendship with him these past 2 months.

"Fine, get me what I need then..."

He nodded, letting go of me to walk out of the room. He soon came back with a paper and pencil, saying "Write everything you need on this paper."

Doing as told, I gave it back soon enough. He went back out of the room and then walked inside once again.

"I thought you would get me everything."

"A maid is doing it." He mumbled, laying down in the couch with his head in my lap. Nodding, I just asked "So... don't you have any family members or anything?"

"They... they all live far away... I don't want to meet them..."

"Is it family issues?" I asked. He nodded, mumbling "Kind of... a-and I moved away to this country for a pause from home... but I-I don't have any friends here... a-and my ex... just played me for my money..."

"Why don't you go back? Is it really that big of a deal with the argument? Is it worse than all this?"

"No... but it's too much pressure... finding a girl both mom and dad will like... no free time... just... work..."

"Sounds horrible." I mumbled ironically. I thought it would be something much worse.

. . . . .

I spit out the toothpaste and washed my mouth out before leaving the bathroom. Meliodas got me new things... completely new stuff from the store, of course, it would also be expensive stuff.

This man really doesn't know how to spare money, does he? I'm staying ONE night and he buys me things like if I would stay the next 10 years.

I screamed as I was suddenly picked up. Looking at Meliodas, I yelled "Why would you do that?! Put m-"

He threw me into the bed, making me bounce up and down a couple times before he went on top of me, immediately pulling me into a kiss.

Breaking the kiss, I asked "What do you think you are doing?!"

His hand rested on my waist, slowly pulling up my nightgown as he stared me in the eyes. He leaned in, kissing my neck, making me pull him away.

"Stop! I don't want to!"

He did as told, still staring me in the eyes. He moved a bit and laid down a bit beside me, his head resting on my shoulder.

"I love you..." He mumbled, making me immediately back away.

"No! You don't!"

He sat up, saying "Yes I do. I love you Elizabeth."

"It's been 2 months! Only 2 months! You can't be in love with me! It takes years to love someone!"

"No, I love you. I mean it."

"This... this is too much for me! I'm going home!" I yelled, walking away. He grabbed me around the waist, stopping me as soon as I walked out of the room.

"Don't leave. I don't want to be alone, I don't want to be with anyone else. I do whatever, I pay you whatever you want if you just stay."

"You can't buy everything with money Meliodas. I'm tired of this. You are clingy and unreasonable! I'm going home and you are letting me!"

"No! I'm not going to let you leave!"

"Let go of me right now or I'm calling the police for kidnapping!"

"Only if you stay! You told me you would stay the night!"

"I didn't think you would act like this! You are acting like some kind of animal!"

"Yes! Because you are my mate!"

"What? What the hell are you talking about?! Let go of me!"

"I... I... it's nothing, I didn't mean that... but please, stay the night... or let me stay with you... I just don't want to be lonely right now."

I stared at his sad expression as he let go of me. With a sigh, I mumbled "I need some alone time... I will go home alone, but you can call me if you need, okay?"

"Only if you come right away... if I need you to..."

"Yes, if it's important."
