A Band Is Not A Sin #Wattys2016

Part 9 To Buy Gifts for the Band Part 1

I unfortunately do not own any of the "Seven Deadly Sins" characters, just the plot line and any original OC's that may appear.

"I have no idea how you dragged me into this," Elizabeth complained as Diane practically dragged her through the store.

Diane and Elizabeth had been texting each other all week about what they were suppose to get the boys for Christmas. Elizabeth had learned that their little group had done a gift exchange since at least their senior year of high school. So this year everyone decided that Elizabeth being a new part of the group would be apart of it too. So they all decided that they would do something different. Diane and Elizabeth would both buy the boys's gifts and the boys would buy all of the girls's gifts.

"I do. At the first mention of Meliodas's gift you practically swooned the yes," Diane giggled as she let go of Elizabeth's arm and started looking through the racks of clothing. They had decided to start first at clothes and then other things they thought the guys might like. Elizabeth felt her face heat up as Diane mentioned Meliodas.

Neither of them had mentioned his kiss since that night. She assumed he might have found it unimportant or didn't mean anything to him. She felt her heart fall a thousand feet whenever she thought about that. While she had already made peace with her feelings for him, he never seemed to show any interest in her. That was what truly stung.

"I didn't swoon!" She tried defending herself but seeing as her face was still beet red it didn't work well. Rolling her eyes Diane replied with "Sure, deny it all you want but you definitely like him, and he seems to be pretty interested in you."

Elizabeth looked at her shocked. He seemed interested in her? It just didn't seem to compute. "No way he's interested in me! He hasn't shown any feelings towards me since the first-" she stopped herself and started rummaging quickly through the racks.

"Since the first what? Practice? Performance? Oh! It was the first performance!" She squeaked excitedly running around the rack to Elizabeth. "What happened? Did he kiss you? Did you kiss him? You have to tell me!" She had seemed to calm down after her and King's first date. Her gears definitely turned from Meliodas to King. It was actually a bit scary, apparently she did have a crush on King for awhile now. But had always thought he would turn her down.

"He kissed me," Elizabeth started while Diane squealed a little louder. Elizabeth put her hands up to stop the squealing. "On the cheek," she finished. Diane still smiled but was definitely not as happy as she was.

"Ahh! That's horrible," Diane complained deciding to turn back to the racks. She rustled through the shirts. "Maybe, you could well you know," she elbowed Elizabeth playfully.

"No! I couldn't make a move. Especially when I'm not sure about how he feels," she started using any excuses that she could think of. "I mean I couldn't possibly do it," Diane rolled her eyes again.

"You can't just use excuses Elizabeth. Trust me, I've used all of them trying to make me feel for Meliodas, what I really felt for King," she said still looking through the rack. Elizabeth felt a deep pang of sympathy for Diane. But it soothed a little as she thought about how happy she now was.

"Still right now I can't afford a new realationship. Especially with another band member, you guys said this might only be a temporary thing." She explained looking at some of the shirts herself. "I don't want to fall to hard to fast and loose all of you in the process." Diane finally turned to Elizabeth who had watery eyes and was fighting the tears. She hugged her friend hard.

"You won't loose us, while we may be a little mad that you and Meliodas aren't on amazing terms." This made Elizabeth laugh, and made Diane smile. "We don't leave friends behind."

Pulling back Diane squeezedElizabeth's hands and added "Now let's go find amazing Christmas presents that will knock the boys socks off." Nodding Elizabeth started looking through a new rack of clothes. Soon enough Diane screeched happily going on and on about finding King the perfect coat. Elizabeth agreed saying that it matched his regular pajama like outfits.

Soon they found a red jacket they both agreed was made for Ban. It took longer for them to find Meliodas's piece of clothing. He never really seemed to wear Christmas gifts. Finally Elizabeth spotted a vest that seemed to scream Meliodas.

They went to a couple different stores picking up a few more things for family members. Then a few more things for the boys and ingredients for the food they were going to make for the little party they were going to have. Soon enough Diane got a text from her roommate that she needed to get back to help clean and drove Elizabeth home leaving the gifts with her.
