The Confident And Insecure Demons

By your side forevermore

- Y/N -

I was on a branch of the tree that stood proud and tall on Edinburgh Hill. "Y/n," I heard someone whisper.  "Leave," I said, a dark aura surrounding me. "Ooh, scary," I heard a known sarcastic voice. I turned to see Zeldris leaning against the tree, his arms crossed with a smirk.

"Did you talk it out?" I asked, turning to face the starry night sky again. I felt a pair of arms around my waist as I was pulled onto someone's lap. "Nishishi~ Of course we did," he said with a grin. "You did?" I asked, raising a brow.

"Yes, we did. And we're not ready to forgive each other," Zeldris said sitting beside me. I stared at them. "Don't talk to me," I said with a pout, wriggling out of Meliodas' grip. "Where do you think you're going, Ami?" he said, his demon form taking over and securing his grip on my waist.

"Let me finish," Zeldris said with a sigh. "We made a temporary truce..." he said reluctantly. "... for you," Meli finished. "But you know, the commandments aren't gonna be pleased," Zeldris noted. "Screw them, I can beat 'em up. The problem is father," I said. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Meli said, hugging my waist.

"Don't hog her, you greedy bastard," Zeldris said irked. Meliodas stuck his tongue out at his younger brother as they bickered, making me sweatdrop. "You had her for 3000 years, give me some time," Meliodas protested. "What kind of excuse is that??? You trapped us there!" Zeldris retorted.

I laughed. "I missed this," I said, leaning on Zeldris' shoulder, which seemed to calm him. We sat there in silence, planning our next moves.

The 10 commandments and I had taken over Camelot and freed the demon race from the seal. The world was doomed now. "Zeldris, I wanna go see Meli," I whined at my fiance. He shot me a look that said 'Stay put or else' so I waited. And waited. 'Til I couldn't wait anymore.

"You can't stop me," I said, jumping out the castle window. I felt Zeldris crash into me, grab my waist and fly to the castle rooftop. "The Demon Blood Moon will appear soon and Father ordered us to arrange the ballroom in its honour," he said.

"He's making his appearance that night," he continued, quietly. "Are you sure he's gonna leave everything?" I asked. He looked at me, concerned. "Like... everything?" I said, slightly annoyed at the image in my head.

"I can't promise anything on my brother's behalf, but I can assure you that he will never leave you," he said, pecking my cheek before sensing Father's calling for us. "We gotta go," he said, taking my hand and making our way to Father.

"His Majesty is searching for you two," Chandler and Cusack said in disappointment. "WE KNOW, WE KNOW," I shouted at them as Zeldris continued dragging me to Father's throne room.

- Cusack -

"Hmm, what do you think they were doing?" Chandler asked mischievously. I rolled my eyes. "See, this is how people know you're Meliodas' mentor," I said before walking away. His hearty laughter was heard throughout the halls. "He'll come back to us, mark my words," he said.

"And how can you be so sure of it?" I instigate. He looked at me seriously. "Have you ever seen how he used to look at Y/n? He loves her too much to not return to us," he said with a poker face. He laughed, "Even if he doesn't I'll drag him back here," he said with a grin making me sigh and walk away.

"You called?" Zeldris asked the Demon King as the Demon guards closed the huge doors to his throne room. "Come here, Y/n darling. I missed you very much when you escaped the seal," he said, patting the armrest of his throne.

I looked at Zeldris before he sighed and let me go. "Don't give me that look, Zeldris. I just wanted to spend time with my daughter-in-law," Father said as I sat beside him. Zeldris raised a brow, making Father chuckle darkly. "You sure got a lot of attitude after escaping the seal, son," he said. The atmosphere felt suffocating as they death stared at each other.
