Ruthless

Embarrassment

A/N- I know this is a Melizabeth fanfic, but Zeldris X Gelda is my second favourite ship ever (what's their ship name anyway?) So I am writing it in.

Let's just say two couples had fun that night.

The next morning, Estarossa got up early. He dressed quickly and decided that, since Lia was back at the Demon Realm, he would go find Zeldris and ask him to practice with him.

Estarossa also wanted to know what was up with Zeldris lately. He had been so moody and stroppy, like Lia but not as bad. "He's on his period..." Estarossa muttered, walking to Zeldris's room.

Unfortunately, he was unaware of the events of yesterday.

So he reached Zeldris's room and knocked on the door. He heard no reply and the door opened a little so Estarossa took that as a sign to enter.

Looking inside, he saw Zeldris's messy bed with the covers all wrinkled. He saw Zeldris  with his trousers and no shirt on walking around, stretching. Estarossa was about to say something when the bathroom door slammed open. Gelda walked in stiffly, with one of Zeldris's shirts on, and because Zeldris was shorter than Gelda, it barely covered her private areas.

"Morning." Zeldris muttered, flashing a grin at Gelda. He looked at Gelda face closely for a few seconds. "Oh." His face flushed slightly. Estarossa was confused, Zeldris never flushed, blushed or even had reactions like that.

"You know what I want..." Gelda smiled cutely. She said this while walking slowly, deliberately towards him. She got Zeldris backed into the wall and kissed him hungrily, him kissing back. Gelda stopped and whispered something into Zeldris's ear, and Zeldris flushed again and nodded.

Gelda kissed him again and smiled. Estarossa decided it was time to interrupt when Gelda kissed Zeldris once more and moved down to kiss his neck. Zeldris groaned and bit his lip, tilting his head back and exposing the neck completely.

Estarossa blanched and bolted away. "Ew no, no, no, no, no, no, no." He said, running away.

He ran into Diane, who looked at Estarossa's face and said "Are you okay? You look pale."

"I'm fine." He said shortly. He turned to walk away when Diane grabbed his arm.

"Wait." She sighed. "I'm sorry about, you know, all the outbursts. I don't know what's been going on with me lately. I guess everything was just a bit much and my mind started twisting it all."

"What made you realise?"

"Elizabeth. After you all left yesterday Elizabeth and I had an argument and she made me rethink everything." Diane fidgeted embarrassedly. "I'm trying to say that I'm sorry."

"I forgive you." Estarossa sighed, flashing her a small smile. "But I think you need to apologise to everyone else, Zeldris, Meliodas and Gelda especially. Elizabeth as well."

"I already apologised to Elizabeth and Meliodas. By the way, we're supposed to go to Elizabeth's dining chambers for breakfast." Diane smiled. "Do you know where Zeldris and Gelda are, by any chance? I need to apologise."

"Yeah, uh, they're in Zeldris's room, but I wouldn't interrupt them." Estarossa coughed uncomfortably. "Let's just go to breakfast, apologise after it."

The dining chamber was basically a large room with a table in the middle and chairs around the outside, with a lounge connected through an archway, with beanbags and comfy chairs and rugs inside.

Once everyone had arrived at the dining room, Ban, Zeldris and Gelda were late, for obvious reasons (Ban had a hangover and you already know about the couple), they sat down to eat breakfast, chatting pleasantly.

It all went well until Meliodas grinned slyly at Zeldris and said "So, littlest brother, how was last night?"

Zeldris choked. "What?"

"I said, how was last night, and from what I gathered, I think you enjoyed it." Meliodas grinned. "It's fun, isn't it?" Elizabeth went red.

Everyone choked.

"From what I've gathered here, it looks like you and Elizabeth had some fun yourselves, hm?" Gelda retorted.

The entire room choked again.

They all went into the lounge to relax and Estarossa couldn't hold in his questions any longer. "Little brother?" He piped up from his chair.

"Yes?" Zeldris was sitting on a beanbag and Gelda was sitting next to him.

"What is that plaster for?" Estarossa asked. Zeldris had a plaster on his neck, and Estarossa had a feeling he knew it was because of earlier when he walked in on them.

"Uhh, nothing." Zeldris replied a little too quickly. Everyone else was watching the exchange with interest.

"Come on, tell us brother." Meliodas grinned. "I think I know what it is..." He added under his breath.

"I said it's nothing." Zeldris replied.

"If it's nothing, shouldn't you be able to tell us? Or take the plaster off?" Ban called from the back.

"That's a better idea, Ban, thanks." Estarossa grinned. "Take off the plaster and show us!"

"W-why are you so interested in the plaster, anyway?" Zeldris stuttered, cursing his unsteady voice inwardly.

"Because it's on your neck, and you never get hurt. Now show us." Estarossa demanded, grinning widely. "Or I'll take it off myself."

"Don't even-" Zeldris started before running away as Estarossa started chasing him.

"Tell me, is it from this morning, brother?" Estarossa

Everyone laughed, except Gelda and Elizabeth, but when Estarossa somehow tackled Zeldris and pinned him to a wall, they crowded round to see what was under the mysterious plaster.

Estarossa peeled off the plaster and gasped, that was not what he was expecting.

Underneath the plaster, was two large cuts, or rather, bite marks. And that's not all, Estarossa could see quite a few identical scars littering that part of Zeldris's neck.

Meliodas said what they were all thinking: "I wasn't expecting that."

Estarossa dropped Zeldris, his eyes fixed on the bite marks. "Are those...?"

"Yeah..." Zeldris looked away.

"The bite marks of a vampire." Diane blinked.

"Or to be more specific, Gelda's." Elizabeth said.

"What?" Everyone chanted, except Gelda, Elizabeth, Zeldris and Meliodas. "Why?"

Elizabeth stated "As told in the book of Vampires; When a vampire has a love interest, as an ultimate sign of trust and/or love, they can feed off the loved one. This is because the vampire loves the partner and has enough restraint to not frenzy when tasting human blood and therefore not kill the partner. This is also because-"

"Because the partner trusts and/or loves the vampire enough to let it take their blood. In fact, the bite of the vampire is not painful for the partner, but actually is very pleasurable. The act of this feeding is something akin to a demon's bond mark." Meliodas finished.

Everyone stared at Gelda and Zeldris.

"So that's what you two were doing this morning!" Estarossa exclaimed.

"What? You saw?!" Zeldris yelled.

"You were peeking in on us?!" Gelda yelled angrily, slapping Estarossa. "You perv! Your worse than Gropey McGee over there!" She yelled, pointing to Meliodas, who immediately put on a poker face.

"I'm a what?"

Everyone laughed nervously.

"You know that Father will flip if he finds out, right?" Estarossa said.

"That's why none of you will tell him, correct?" Zeldris glared. Everyone nodded.

"All right then."

Suddenly, Diane clapped her hands excitedly. "Why don't we all go to the beach!"
