Arthur

Ban left the gym after roaming around inside. He was separated from Meliodas and King. As far as he knew, Meliodas went to get his stuff fixed at his side of the room while King went to his locker.

Meeting Elizabeth wasn't on his agenda. The meeting itself surprised him, he was surprised how Elizabeth replied to him.

With such confidence and sass, nothing like her before. Then again, he knew that Elizabeth wasn't going to be like that forever. 

He was impressed by Elizabeth, and he was not going to lie. The girl grew into a fine young lady. 

As for his bullying days, he stopped along with King and Meliodas shortly after fourth grade started. They had no one to pick on, and Ban knew that they couldn't pick on the Elizabeth now. 

"I wonder how Meliodas will react to this~" Ban chuckled, entering the cafeteria. He saw a bunch of people sitting at the middle of the cafeteria. 

Ban saw Elizabeth along with Diane and a few other people. They were even with his other roommate, Arthur Pendragon. 

Ban remembered when Meliodas and him entered the room. The orange head was already sitting on one of the beds. 

The second he saw the two of them, his grin dropped and glared at the two boys. Ban still wondered why he did, but he didn't bother asking and so did Meliodas. 

Ban continued to stare at them after he bought a snack and sat on a free seat. Elizabeth was smiling and laughing with her friends. 

Ban didn't know why, but he was happy for her. It would sound ridiculous, since he was one of her bullies before. 

But Ban matured, he was still an energetic idiot when needed, but he matured and learned his lesson and now has manners. He was a kid back then, it couldn't be helped for him to be influenced by his friend. 

Remembering his younger years, a memory flashed in his head making him chuckle lightly. 

"I wonder if they're still destined~"

"I'm roommates with Royale and a guy named Escanor. He reads a lot of poems and makes them too, I think we'll get along." Gowther told them, making everyone laugh.

"I'm sure you will." Merlin chuckled. Gowther turned to Diane, "Diane." Diane whipped her head at him, "Yeah?" 

"You've been classmates with Mr. Royale, correct?" Gowther asked, making everyone silent. Diane nodded, feeling the tension that Gowther subconsciously created. 

"Will you please give me pointers on how to-- how would you say this-- deal with him." Gowther gave her a serious stare. 

"I'm asking because I certainly do not like the way he acts." Gowther added, making Diane chuckle nervously. "Let's see." 

"Well, He's a real lazy-ass and sleeps a lot but likes being organized. Never tell him that his color organizing is wrong. He will stab you with a needle." Diane told Gowther, as he took notes while he was nodding. 

"When you wake him up from his slumber, it's either he turns into a bear awoken from its hibernation or he acts all lazy. So watch out. For his cold demeanor? Well, just ignore that." Diane finished, making Gowther nod. 

"Thank you." Gowther gave her a smile, making her smile back. The both of them looked at everyone else, they watched as the two of them conversed as if they didn't just meet today. 

Arthur stood up, "well, I have to go to my dorm and fix my stuff. See ya tomorrow." Arthur finished with a smile and walked away.

Diane sighed, "He's not gonna let me through, is he?" Diane asked, making everyone nod. 

"Arthur is very serious about trust and friendship, it's hard for him to accept ones apology." Merlin pointed out, making Diane nod. 

"It's okay. I'll do my best!" Diane grinned, making everyone smile at her. "That's the spirit." Elizabeth told her, making Diane feel determined to gain not only Arthur's trust, but also Elizabeth's.

 Arthur went back to his room, he entered to see a certain blond boy laying on his bed. Meliodas glanced at the door to see who it was, he turned back to his phone once he saw Arthur. 

Arthur went to his side of the room and began to unpack. Both of them were silent until Meliodas spoke, "What was with the glare once we entered, Pendragon?" 

Arthur stopped folding his shirt, "Wasn't in the mood, Drakon." He then continued to fold his shirt. 

But Meliodas decided to continue the conversation. "Do you hate me, Pendragon?" 

Arthur snorted, "Hate doesn't even begin to cover it." 

Meliodas rose his brow, "Really? As far as I know, I only met you today."

"I've heard a lot about you." Arthur stated, Meliodas was curious now. "Oh really? like what?" Meliodas' ego started showing itself. 

"Don't expect the best, Bully." Arthur said, fixing his bag near his bed. Meliodas' ego came crashing down and his eyes widened when he heard the word 'bully'.

"Who told you about that?" Meliodas asked, Arthur looked at Meliodas with a brow raised. "Take a guess." 

Meliodas glared at the floor before turning around, making the two of them silent. Arthur felt satisfied with the way he dealt with the situation. He would usually yell at this point, but he kept calm.

Meliodas on the other hand hasn't seen Elizabeth for years, so he doesn't know what to expect. 

The door opened, Ban was was at the door. He could feel the tension in the air, and as the joker he is, he opened the windows. "Let the tension exit through the windows, would ya~" 

Meliodas looked at Ban, "Funny, Ban." Ban shrugged before jumping on his bed. "I tried~"
