Ban's Little Sister - Meliodas x OC

28 - Red looks good on you

A nice longer one here for you, you're welcome ;)

A few days had passed now and we still hadn't been able to pinpoint where the infamous Escanor was. The days and nights were growing tiring. Boredom was leaking into my pores and if I didn't have some entertainment soon, I think I could go stir crazy.

As if hearing my thoughts, the seat beside me became occupied. The occupant had an aroma of ale, though I'm sure I didn't smell much better. I was 7 mugs in and could definitely feel myself losing better judgement. I leant my cheek on my palm, turning and drunkenly smiling to Howzer.

"How's my favourite holy knight doing?" I greeted him, making him chuckle and run a hand through his hair. I noticed him lightly flex his muscles as he did so, my eyes watching his movements intently. I'm not sure if it was the ale talking, but he looked really attractive in this lighting.

"Better now I'm sat with my favourite demon." He toothily grinned, even feeling brave enough to wink. A giggle tumbled from my mouth before I could stop it, a sound so annoying I usually would of cringed hearing it when sober. A small voice in the back of my head told me I'd regret entertaining him in the morning, but my intoxication kicked that feeling to the side.

"If I didn't know any better, I would think you're flirting with me." I slowly ran my index finger down his arm, enjoying the slight tease behind the movement. It wasn't like I was grabbing his dick or flashing my boobs, but it was a light, sensual touch. One which made the hairs on his arms raise.

"Would that be a bad thing?" He was drunk. His confidence and unwavering stare was a clear indication of that. But I also was drunk enough to look past the fact I wasn't into him at all. Funny what alcohol can do.

His thigh brushed mine, a slight gesture of wanting to feel my touch but not wanting to overstep any boundaries. I guess these holy knights were a lot more gentle in nature then I was used to. Slightly boring but it wasn't like I was getting anything else right now.

"You know, I don't think I've ever seen your room before." I placed my hand on his upper thigh and squeezed, letting my nails lightly dig into the flesh below his trousers. His eyes lit up, understanding my suggestive comment. He jumped to his feet with far too much excitement, making my own dwindle slightly. Was I really about to do this? With him? He was a nice guy, sure, and not ugly either. But he wasn't exactly what I'm used to. Maybe that's what I needed though.

He held his palm out to me, silently offering me a hand up. I delicately grabbed it, letting him help me off of the bench and lead me towards the tavern stairs. Someone clearing their throat made us pause and snap our heads to the bar. Meliodas was wiping over the bar counter, a placid look on his face. His eyes fell onto our still interlocked hands before shooting to give me eye contact. He didn't think I noticed him look, but I did. Howzer, however, was far too gone to notice anything.

"Can I have a quick word, Amihan?" He sent an apologetic look to Howzer, though something didn't seem genuine in his eyes. The ale must of had me seeing things.

"Go ahead, I'll meet you up there." I winked, sending scarlet rising up his neck. He gave Meliodas an awkward wave goodbye before retreating upstairs. The majority of the group had already retreated to bed by now, though the odd few were drinking outside. This meant once Howzer had left and his bedroom door had softly closed over, we were alone.

The blond stared at me for a minute, an unreadable expression on his face. He seemed deep in thought, though it confused me as he sounded like he already knew what he wanted to talk to me about.

"Come into the back with me. I need help changing the barrel." I arched my eyebrow at him, folding my arms over my chest. He stared back innocently, even going as far as to question my look.
