I fell in love...

Y/N's sobs tore through the silent night, her tears tainting her cheeks as she clutched her emerald necklace. "Ellie... Why wasn't it me?" Her sobbing increased and she pulled the necklace closer to her, holding it tighter. Bringing the necklace to her lips, she mumbled soft words against the heart-shaped emerald. Meliodas watched all of this from a distance, straining to understand her quiet whispers. He soon understood her to be... Singing? Her sweet voice rang through the darkness as she sang.

One day all the hearts will be broken

But that day is not today       

And one day, everyone will be falling apart

But that day has not come

So as we wait patiently for our demise, let me hold you close

Closer still, let me hold you

As I sing you this lullaby,

Because I love you, and I love us

I will stay by your side

Remembering you is my only wish

And wishing to fulfill your every need

So, one day every heart will be broken, and all the people will be falling apart

But I will still love you,

I will still love you

I will still love you

Forever and ever

Loving you and loving us

"That was a really nice song." Y/N's head sprang up, her tears still flowing down her cheeks. "C-Captain!" Her cheeks flushed with color. Meliodas stepped forward and scooped Y/N into a warm hug. "I- I used to sing that song to my sister whenever she was upset. Today would've been her fiftieth birthday..." Her quiet sobs caused Meliodas' own heart to clench with sadness, and he held her tighter. "Don't cry..." Y/N looked up at him and smiled, tears still flowing out of her eyes, but instead of the teardrops running down her cheeks and hitting the ground, Meliodas wiped them off and hugged her closer, bringing her head to rest on his chest. And that was when Y/N fell in love, even if she denyed it.

For better or for worse...      

Woah, two updates in one day! I wrote the song myself, by the way, and here is the full version:

I fell in love...

One day all the hearts will be broken
