"Ami! You gonna wake up anytime soon! There's someone you need to meet!" Meliodas called as he entered the room. I grunted from exhaustion, my body aching entirely. It's hard to believe last night when I woke up from that weird dream that I didn't hurt and this morning I ache all over. That battle must have hurt more then I thought. Then the memories of the whole of last night replayed, and I felt that same pit in my stomach as I did watching Meliodas leave abruptly with Elizabeth.

"Fuck off." I moaned, pulling the covers over my face. I thought he left for a moment, until a weight landed right on my chest and I wheezed out a breath.

"You're so lazy Ami." He chuckled and shook his head. He was straddling me and had his hands wrapped around my wrists, pinning them down above my head. I could smell the faint scent of booze on his breath.

"Now be a good girl and come welcome our friend will ya?" He smirked, his tongue grazing his bottom lip as he looked down at me. I couldn't hide my reddening cheeks at our position and forced out a growl.

"You're an ass Meliodas." I huffed, hoping that he couldn't feel how hard my heart was beating. Why was he having an affect on me? I could easily admit that he was a good looking guy, sure. But ever since the battle, I've felt more of a pull towards him then ever.

"Hey it's not my fault you're still tired even though you've slept for 2 days." My eyes bulged at his words.

"That's impossible. It was just last night that I woke up because of that weird dream." I stated, utterly confused. He let out his typical giggle and leant his face closer to mine. My breath hitched as I was anticipating his next move.

"You look okay now though so I'm sure that you will be fine. Now come on, everyone's going to wonder where I've gone to for so long." Finally, he released my wrists from his tight hold and hopped off of the bed. He offered me his hand to help me up but I declined, not wanting anymore feelings to course through me. We both went downstairs and to the outside where it seemed to be the evening. I swiped the drink out of Ban's hand as he was... smelling King?

"Why are we all smelling King?" I laughed before taking a whiff too. He smelt sickly sweet, almost floral in a way. I downed my drink and avoided smelling him when he transformed to his other state.

"You started all of this Gowther!" King wailed, stropping over the whole incident. I sat on the stool and drank some more ale, trying to play catch-up to these clearly drunk people. 'Gowther' revealed that Diane lied about her height and weight whilst Ban got really drunk once and used his magical ability 'physical hunt' to take away King and Diane's power. He laughed about them being really weak in battle.

"This dude is funny!" I giggled, pointing at Gowther. He shot something at my neck and jumped at the sudden invasion.

"Hmm... You're Ban's little sister, Amihan. Let's see." I glanced around at the group in confusion at what this man was doing.

"Interesting. Why does your heart rate increase every time you make eye contact with the Captain?" My face went bright red and I jumped from my seat.

"What?! No it doesn't. Why would it?" I glared down at the pink haired man with an expressionless face. He cocked his head to the side.

"It does. In fact it went from 80bpm to 95bpm. Also you-" I cut him off by grabbing his shirt and throwing him into a nearby tree. I sat back on my seat and hid behind my ale cup at the confused glances I was receiving.

"Will you just cut it out already!" King squealed as Gowther attempted to air more things about King to us.

"Yeah, no need to show everyone's dirty laundry." Meliodas chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. Gowther was still in my head it seems as his next words were directed at me.

"It seems that you shared an intimate looking moment with the Captain the other night. Is this what is making your body changes occur?" Gowther questioned. I creased my eyebrows together.

"What are you talking about?" I pinched the bridge of my nose, beginning to get annoyed with this bastard.

"You danced with him whilst everyone slept. You almost kissed it seems and you felt sad when he left-" I cut the man off by pinning him to the floor with my dagger over his throat. I dug it into his flesh slightly, just enough to make him not talk.

"This is why you shouldn't delve into peoples memories Gowther." Meliodas awkwardly laughed. I glared down at him and went to speak but was cut off.

"Wait. You kissed my sister?!" Ban drunkenly raged. Meliodas held his hands up in a surrendering stance.

"No, she was sad so I danced with her to cheer her up. He probably saw the bit where I dipped her down. But we were never going to kiss and I went straight to bed with Elizabeth." His words added to the strange pit in my stomach, but I swallowed the acidic taste down and let Gowther go. I marched up to the table with booze and let the sweet taste of Vanya ale wash away the horrid taste of disappointment.

As if she was summoned just by the sound of Meliodas' voice, Elizabeth bounded out with food for the man. They spoke for a while whilst the others conversed and I chugged another Vanya ale.

"Is the princess in love with the Captain?" Gowther asked, making everyone gasp and me to choke on my drink. Elizabeth looked down with a beet red face.

"Her heart rate increases, similar to how Amihan's does around the Captain, but not with anyone else. I have heard of this emotion before. Are both Amihan and Elizabeth in a state of love for the Captain?" I took a less timid response than the royal did. I threw my glass bottle onto the floor, spraying shards of glass all around. I proceeded to glare at anyone who made eye contact with me and stalked back inside. I most definitely did not love Meliodas. I barely knew the guy. Sure, I was attracted to him, but it most certainly wasn't love. Perhaps a sexual tension? I wasn't sure on it myself. But I couldn't bare to sit around and listen to the group discuss feelings. Gross.
