Rimuru the sin of love

SS: The big Revolution

Meliodas POV:

"I have the ability to see the true nature and abilities of anything by just observing it. It has become almost impossible for me not to act on the things I notice about something or someone. I always play the part but never truly acknowledge them as it is based upon a false foundation. With you, though, I can finally be myself. I don't have to pretend or guard myself," Rimuru confessed.

Most people might view such an ability as a blessing. For Rimuru, however, it's been a double-edged sword. The ability to see through people and situations could be crucial for survival, yet it has also isolated her, forcing her to live behind a facade. The sheer weight of knowing so much about others and having to act on it must be exhausting. The fact that she's been able to use this ability to navigate dangerous situations, like the encounter with the Demon King, speaks to her resilience. But the emotional toll of living this way is evident.

"It's a terrifying thing to face someone who knows everything about you. It's not just about power levels or visible threats; it's about the constant pressure to conceal one's true self. Her power, though it shields her, also distances her from genuine connections," I reflected, considering her situation.

"It must have been hard, not being able to respond to other people's kindness because of this power. Yet, it's clear you've used it to navigate your world safely," I told her. Rimuru's sad laugh was tinged with relief.

"I can't deny that it's been both a burden and a boon. While it's protected me, it's also kept me from truly engaging with others. For instance, knowing the Demon King's true intentions allowed me to handle that encounter with you effectively. But I can't complain too much, given how it's kept me safe," she explained.

It's clear now that her ability has been crucial to her survival, but also a source of deep loneliness. Her capacity to sense and understand so much, even detecting the spying magic I missed, highlights how well she's adapted. But it's also understandable that such a power would lead to discomfort and mistrust.

"It doesn't matter if you know more about me than anyone else. What matters is that you have a good heart and use your knowledge to make things better. You shouldn't feel guilty for protecting yourself," I reassured her.

As I finished speaking, she rested her head on my chest, and her tears began to flow. Seeing her cry, I felt a surge of protectiveness. I am determined to stand by her, ensuring that no one takes advantage of her vulnerabilities. I will be there for her, not just as a lover, but as someone who genuinely cares for her well-being.
