Kiane, Great Britannia

Wings?

Recap: Diane found out King had wings. Nothing more to be said.

King quickly silenced Diane and shut the door behind her. He locked eyes with her, he was very serious. His hand was on her mouth as she stood there frozen.

King: Don't utter a word.

Diane nodded.

King: You didn't see anything.

Diane nodded.

King: You tell Gowther it was a dream.

Diane nodded, slightly confused by the last request.

Diane: Right.. But what the hell are those?
King: They're.. Wings..
Diane: I had no idea people could get those!!
King: It's a special family trait..
Daine: Fairy wings... They're so beautiful!

King blushed slightly at this, smiling

King: Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

King watched as her eyes darted around his wings. She noticed he was half dressed and went beet red. She turned around in embarrassment.

Diane: SORRY! I burst in here when you were changing.

King didn't even notice. He was used to Diane's lack of privacy. He laughed it off, repeating that he didn't mind.

At the beginning of King and Diane's meeting, sure King was flustered but overtime he grew to get used to it. He had a real intolerance for his own invasion of privacy, yet stayed mindful of others. I guess it was just Diane he built an immunity for. Not that he was immune to her charms, but her invasive nature.

King smiled, knowing she was still the same impulsive child he came to know and love.

King: Diane I... I can trust you, right?

Diane nodded. She put her thumbs up and turned to face King again

Diane: I can hold your secret!

Maybe it was just King, but he felt crushed. Imagine somebody different using the same body as that you loved before. A shell of the one before. Maybe if she regained her memories she would revert back to the way she was, he couldn't say for certain. But he was sure his heart ached for her, despite being right in front of him. He wanted the real Diane, his Diane.

King impulsively caressed Diane's cheek. He smiled softly as his thumb caressed her. Diane was a bright red as King did this.

King: You're very beautiful, Diane.
Diane: W-What?!

King stopped himself before he could continue.

King: From.. A friends perspective ofcourse..
Diane: Oh, haha! I see. Thank you! You're very handsome yourself!

King tried to hold back his smile.

King: Thank you!
Diane: And your wings are just divine! I.. Also was going to thank you for taking my place as waitress last night. You looked very cute in that outfit!

Diane joked, King sighed and laughed.

King: I had no choice. Meliodas had already decided it for me. I mean, captain.

Diane smiled

Diane: Shall we go shopping?
King: Yes, ofcourse!

King put on a shirt. Thing is, Diane recognised his handkerchief from the other day. The royal crest, she had a memory of it. Along with that orange haired boy she had remembered.

King and Diane found themselves looking around.

King: I think we've got everything!
Diane: Yup!
King: You want to head back?
Diane: Sure! Also! Liones is throwing a celebration for the Kings birthday, if you want to join me?
King: I'd be delighted to!
Diane: Perfect!
King: I honestly thought you'd ask the captain, haha!
Diane: Hm? Why's that?
King: Well.. Uhm... No missed opportunities?
Diane: I think I understand what you're getting at. It's not like that, besides I know him and Elizabeth are eloped.
King: Hm? You do?
Diane: I mixed up feelings of admiration and love. Sure I love the captain but as a friend kind of way! I appreciate all he's done for me, but that's only because of what he was asked to do. Who I should really thank is the boy who asked him to do that. I'm sure there's a reason I lost my memories.. Maybe to protect me from something... But for the moment, I'm happy! Especially because you're here, Harlequin!
