To Save My Child

Part 2

(for clarification, Blake is my OC and is not a part of the anime The Seven Deadly Sins)

"who's Blake?" The blonde face dropped and his expression changed in a matter of seconds "who told you that name"

Its silent for what seems like a eternity before the short blonde says something "take a seat" his voice is soft yet so cold. Hesitantly, the silverette takes a seat and his father shortly follows after him and once again they sit in silence

Meliodas's POV

I sit in silence gathering my thoughts and thinking of something to tell him. I know I can't tell him the truth but I also can't lie to him. I deeply sigh and look down at the ring on my finger, I would never take it off or go anywhere without it....it reminds me of- I see a water droplet fall and burst into my hand, I didn't even realize I was crying but then again every time I think about him I can't hold back my emotions and before long multiple tears flow out of my hands, just the thought of him is like a unremovable thorn, I want to forget him but...I can't. Suddenly a feel to arms around me holding me tightly "it's okay" I hear Tristan's voice "let it all out" I burst into tears holding him back and crying "god, I'm so fucking pathetic" I say feeling like absolute shit. he holds me tighter "don't say that, you're not pathetic, I know you did everything to protect me and I may not know who Blake is but I do know that he's important to you right?" I simply not not being able to get any words out "then I'm sure he wouldn't want you saying these things about yourself, you're I strong person and I know we dont know each other very well but i can tell that you're strong and not just physically" I sniffle and pull away smiling "Merlin sure did raise you well didn't she" I say still smiling "yeah, she did" The blondes son states

No one's POV

Tristan smiles still feeling a pang of hurt for his father but quickly remembers his question and wonders wether he should bring the topic up again or just let it be for now. After realizing how upset the blonde got, and still is about the situation he decides to save the conversation for another time although he still wondered who Blake is or was.

"Soo" Tristan started at a attempt to lighten the mood or at least change the subject. Meliodas looks up at him and Tristan searches for something to say before he looks at meliodas long waist length blonde hair which looks messy yet so put together at the same time "you're hair looks nice" he says before he can stop himself.

Meliodas runs a finger through his soft lush blonde hair "thank you, you used to love pulling on it when you were a baby"

oh yeah, Tristan thinks to himself, a baby. He has so many questions about before meliodas gave him up he completely forgot "what was it like?" Tristan ask with a serious expression slightly moving closer

"huh? What was what like?" Meliodas responds the confusion clear in his voice

"before.... before you gave me up...what was it like?" The silverette ask again making his question more clear this time.

"... dangerous" meliodas simply replies

"how so?" Tristan question raising an eyebrow. Meliodas sighs and puts his head down

"at first....it was peaceful...then" he puases and hides his face with his hands "then humans found us...they.... they didn't" he tries to find the right words "they didn't understand. They were confused on how such a sounding race could be peaceful and live without wars and fighting" he chuckles cuasing Tristan to raise an eyebrow but before he could question it the blonde was already speaking again "it's funny, in all the books and stories you hear it speaks about how demons are theses blood thirsty monsters who only want to fight and cause chaos but when humans came to our home we were peaceful loving and welcomed them with open arms just for them to stab us in the back, kill our children, enslave us, make us their pets" he puases again, this time smirking coldly "and when our kind fought back, we were called the monsters and that we had caused this terrible war that is still happening to this day...yet so many innocent lives were lost...because of those humans"

Tristan sighs and stands up pushing the chair back slightly "I figured as much. Humans are truly cruel but..." He looks over to the figure standing at the door watching them with a traumatized expression "Beatrice, don't you know it's rude to ease drop on peoples conversations" the young girl spun around and ran back to her room closing the door shutting it tight" Tristan ran a hand through his hair and looked back at meliodas "I... should probably get going..."

Meliodas stands up as well "that's probably a good idea, oh yeah can you please tell Merlin I said hi and.....thanks for everything" Tristan nods "will do" he walks over to the door and just as he grabs the handle meliodas runs up to him pulling him into a tight (suffocating) embrace before pulling away "please visit again anytime..." He smiles warmly but deep down he was really asking his son to stay safe and to come back home "I sure will" Tristan smiles and walks out the door and as soon as the door closes

"And I'll be sure to bring the truth to light as well"
